Editors note: In the first place,
Mrs. Dudley, the article was not writ

the second place our readers are
greatly shocked to think that Mrs.

FALLING PRICES AND THE
FARMER

Failing wheat prices naturally cause
farmers to find fault, and the Town
ley press deceives them by declaring
that the decline is due to manipu-
lation. The fuctuating price is pie
for the unfair organs of the nOnpar-
tisans.
But it is we'll known fact thai
no group of wheat gamblers was ever
able to control the wheat market out
side Of the natural supply behind it.
That was true in the old day when
speculation was large and important
in total of transaction. Today when
speculation is at minimum, it is
more than ever true.
No, as the Minneapolis Journal
notes, at is not speculation nor man
fpulation that depresses wheat at this
time. Probably the immediate cause
is the coming in of millions of bushels
of Canadian wheat, admitted free OF
duty, under the tariff act" In addi-
ton to this freedom from duty, there
is about twenty per cent difference
in money exchange in favor of Can
ada Under the present rate of dis
count, Canada can undersell the Uni
ted States market ten cents bushel
and then make ten cents net on ex-
change alone.
The record cannot be complete as to
how much Canadian wheat has come
or will come into this country. The
best estimates are that about nine
million bushels have been shipped in
and perhaps as much more will
come Undoubtedly this has a depres-
sing effect on the price OF wheat, but
there does not seem to be any relief
in sight, until the new congress can
reestablish an equalizing tariff charge
After this has been said, however,
there are economic conditions invol-
wing the price of wheat that are be-
yond the control of anybody For in
stance, the new crop in Argentina is
coming into view. Europe sees this
prospect and is in no hurry to buy.
If the farmer could see that other
commodities in general were declin-
ing along with his wheat, the proper
balance would be maintained, but he
finds that the price of his wheat
is going down is advance of the price

George w. Hughes, who resides on
East street, desires to know the orr
gin of the word Yankee. According
to the International Dictionary Yam
kee is commonly considered to be
corrupt pronunciation of the word
English by the native Indians OF
America. According to Thierry, cor
ruption Of "Jankin," diminutive of
John" and nickname given to Eng
lish colonists of Connecticut by the
Dutch settlers of New York. DR.. w.
Gordon in his History of the Ameri-
can war says it was a favorite cant
word in Cambridge, Mass, as early
as 1913, and that it meant excellent
as, a yankee good horse, or yankee
good cider. In the Scottish language
the word means sharp, clever and
rather bold. In short, it is a nick
name for native or citizen Of New
England. -

which they could never secure

through ballot
Their admitted object, as proclaim
ed in their books and papers, is to
"bore from within; they never at
tack openly or fairly but always IN
derhandedly. They would use the Ia
Dor unions and the teachers as their
tools, and are alEeady using some Of
them that way. They would poison
Americanism at it's source. They are
enemies of unionism, education, reli-
gion, morality, law democracy and
every other established thing.
Give them the barest toehold and
they will encroach and encroach until
they will gain complete possession of
everything that civilization holds dear,
Just as they have in Russia. They
never could constitute more than g
small minority of the people and i
is for that reason that they do not
waste any time trying to secure law
full control of the government by the
ballot, but scheme to dominate by
trickery and violence.
All these baleful influences are close
ly allied, and it is not necessary to
be a Sherlock Holmes in order to see
their trail wherever they go. Three
soviet agitators were observed leaV-
inge the scene of the New York ex-
plosion and snickering over it. Of
course they rejoice at every such dis
aster, for it is on suffering and wreck
age that such harpies feed
Allow them an entrance into our
schools, under the innocent guise of
unionization or the like, and we may
as we'll surrender everything at once.
The time to head Of such wells is
when they are first seen. A tiny blaze
will develop into an uncomfortable
conflagration if it is not Quenched
while there is time.
Popular education is a sacred thing;
it must be kept above suspicion, ana
the way to do this is to make all com
ers understand that our schools can
not be used as agencies for 'isms"
of any sort which are not strictly in
harmony with Americanism. - The

While Germany is pulling so poor
a face and whining about the impos
sibility of her paying any substantial
indemnity, it is interesting to observe,
from indubitable German authorities,
that of 269 important German corpor-
ations, representatives of the indus
tries and utilities of the whole coun
try, 178 this year paid higher diyi-
dends than last year, SO the same, Is
lower, and 10 none at all, says Har-
vey's weekly. Of these concern So
paid dividends of more than 20 per
cent, 106 between 10 and 20, 81 be-
tween 5 and 10, and only 81 not more
than five per cent No fewer than
10 trebled or more than trebled their
dividends, and So more doubled OF
more than doubled them. In the coal
industry average dividends rove from
77a to Is per cent; in iron and steel,
from 9 to 21; in textiles from 10 to
20; in laces from IA to 2615; in paper
from "a to ~36; and in glass of porce-
lain from IA to %. In those figures
we can perceive no suggestion of
bankruptcy.

NO SOVETISM IN SCHOOLS
Democrat.

NO SOVIETTSM IN SCHOOLS
The school board OF Lancaster, Pa,
has done the right thing by refusing
to re-employ teachers who have un-
ionized and linked up with the Fed
Grafton Of Labor. And DR.. Thomas
Finegan, superintendent of public In
struction of Pennsylvania, has done
the right thing by confirming this
decision and proclaiming the broad
principle that public school teachers
must not join organization wEkch
bring undue influence to bear on the
school authorities and seek to coerce
them.
1t is legitimate and desirable that
teachers should join associations Of
their own, for the general betterment,
but it is wrong for them to ally them
selves for the purpose of forcing &C
ton which may be contrary to the
public interest.
The soviet doctrine is that the rail
roads are run for the benefit Of the
railroad men, the government for the
benefit of government employees,
politics for the benefit of the polite
ians, the schools for the benefit Of
the teachers ETC. This theory of boil
shevism is fundamentally wicked and
it must not be allowed to show it's
head in this country. 1t is diametri-
cally opposed 10 the American prin-
ciple of the greatest good for the
greatest number.
In the District of Columbia one of
the high school teachers was disciplin
ed because she told her class that
they should maintain an "open mind"
toward bolshevism. She was a member
of the union, and the unions backed
her up and protected her. The SEN
ate appointed a non-partisan commit
tee which investigated the matter, and
this committee issued a scathing re-
buke to those responsible.
The school of Chicago, New York
and other cities are being kept in con
slant turmoil because Of the injection
; Of politics, unionism and bolshevisn
into their management The Toledo
/ Blade, after reviewing the situation,
! observes with truth: "The mess into
which some cities have got their edu-
cational affairs should serve as a warn
ing to all other communities that the
oil of politics and the water of edu
| cation Will not mix.
The labor unions are in politics in
! season and OUT, for there own minor
ity purposes. Public school teachers
are public officers, employed and paid
! by all the people; they have no right
to join up bodily with any poIitica.
or class organization.
Times are bound to come when the
/ interests of the public and the in
terests of the organization will clash
and the teacher should not be handi
capped by any divided loyalty The
public schools of America are not the
place for any sort of hyphenism. Il
is impossible to serve both God and
mammon; no public servant should
have two masters or be allowed to
have any doubt as to whose interests
he is paid to serve.
The diciples of propaganda will have
to be weeded out of the schools; they
have no place there; they are enemies
in the camp. There is an army of pro-
fessional agitators and propagandists,
many of them dangerous aliens finan-
ced by foreign corruption funds, who
are eager to work their way into the
schools and through them gain a
strangle-hold on our institutions
