The Verbal Bout Continued
Editor Tribune:

Cornfeld Philosopher con-
tinues to lay special stress on
the profits desired by the mil
lers, tho l have tried to make
it plain to him that so far as
my comments on his "Observa-
tons" were concerned that is
immaterial, and can be left en-
tirely out of consideration.
What is material is that he
has made an unsupported
charge that there was discrim-
nation against the farmers in
the matter of the price of
wheat, and in favor of the
mills in the matter of the price
on flour and mill feeds. I re-
futed his statement by claim
ing that there was no discrim-
ination but that the farmers
! were protected by a minimum,
guaranteed price on wheat
and the consumers were pro.
tected by regulations making
the prices of flour and mill
feeds fair and equitable in re.
lation to the price of wheat.
| He promised to jolt me with
some statistics. l gave him q
few pointers as to what those
statistics would necessarily
have to contend with if they
were to be applicable to the
question and produce the de-
sired jolt. He has produced
neither the statistics nor the
jolt
His reference to the mill with
which I am connected has ne
bearing whatever on this ques
ton, and is merely a lame at
tempt to evade the issue. Hi
statement therefore still stand!
as deceiving and misleading
and until he produces proof tt
the contrary I shall consider
the incident closed, so far a!
l am concerned.

Our Vanished Liberals

What has become OF liberal
ism? It used to be the case
that when a man or party be-
came known as reactionary, I
his or it's hold on the people
was>gone. Now it seems that
nothing which is not hidebound
gets anywhere outside of the
territory "menaced" by the.
Nonpartisan league, says a bro
Their editor. " !: l
In 1912 Taft won only two
states. Wilson was barnstorm-
ing the country with antitrust
talk and an appeal to the peo-
pie to smash special privilege.
Roosevelt was campaigning on
a platform written by a pink
skinned Socialist. What a con-
trast this was to 1920! The
platforms of both old parties
this year was more reactionary
than was that of Taft in 1912.
Yet in the meantime nothing
had been done to curb the pow
err of monopoly, and the war
added vastly to the power of
concentrated wealth. The lib
erals had to hit harder than ev-
er or surrender and it would ap
pear that there were not enuf
of them to make a ceremony of
surrended. They had closed
shop some time between 1912
and 1920 and disappeared.
One cause of their departure
undoubtedly was the espion-
age law and other special war
measures. The weakened Ii
berals and liberal papers trem-
bled before these more than
did the radicals. They ran to
cover on every important issue
and Wilson would have had no
support here for his peace
terms if he had really wanted
to force a fair peace settlement
on Europe.
Another explanation might
be that a great deal of liberal
ism before the war was bogus.
Great interests, such as the
Rockefellers and the Morgans,
struggling against each other,
, played against each other fo1
popular support. Montana got

EASY" NEW YORK.

New York, it has developed, is the easiest place in the world for swin. dlers to unload worthless stocks and obtain money to float flyby-night enterprises.
 While 3a states of the union have blue sky laws which, in measure, prevent the operation of this class of crooks, the financial center of the universe offers no protection to the innocent investor. Anything from Texas" the saying goes, can be sold in New York city. Which IS to say that a man can organize an oil company and lease few acres of worthless Texas land, go to New York, raise $1OO,0oO before noon and depart.
 It's always been well known fact that the biggest "suckers' in the country were in Gotham. How ever, it seems, that since the Texas oil boom started and the postwar speculation craze deve.ln2nHd New Workers have outdone themselves in being roped in.
