You may search the world in vain
for any gathering In which their
rights are presented, these Forgotten
Folk-for any clear definition OF them
as a class. or for any statement Of
their present wrongs and thor legi-
mate aims. Capital Is organized,
class oongeiOug--and 90 manages to
care for it's own. Labor IL organized
class -copscious--and so manages to
bundantly. But the great range of
folk in between have no organization.
no sense of their collective interests.
OF their relations to the state as
whole. And 10 they are forgotten. II
anyone bears them in mind 1t Is the
socialists; but they do not regard
them as men and brothers. For rea-
sons OF their own they call them
bourgeois, and mark them down for
q still moro thorough destruction.
The socialists are not far from hav-
Ing their way. During the war. hand
laborers have seen to It that their
wages have risen In proportion to the
movement. sweeping across the con-
rise Of prices. Capital is likewise q
tinent and everywhere creating
wealth and more abundant life. In
spite Of increased labor cost, income
tax and excess profit tax. the rich are
still the rich. The war has obliterated
! untold billions OF the worlds wealth:
yet never In times Of fat prosperity
have luxuries been moro eagerly con-
sumed. ButNnot by the salaried brain
worker! He IL still wearing the
clothes be bought In 1914. His wife
is doing housework and his children
/, If he has any, are giving up the hope
OF advanced schooling and college. AS
far as the war has been paid for, 1t is
the forgotten man mainly who has
paid for it--paid for 1t In money. in
free and vigorous living. in efficiency
| as a member OF the nation. Even be-
! fire the war statistics showed that
the brain workers were not increasing
| In proportion to the other classes. To-
day they must certainly be declining
markedly. in numbers as in distinction
and power.
! Yet the forgotten man Is the mind
| of the nation, IL a nation in which
such things happen can be said to
| have a mind. He Is the underpaid
clerk and cashier. the underpaid buy
er and salesman, the underpaid mana
ger, laboratory worker. lawyer. doc
| tor. clergyman, professor. Untold
millions of these Americans are to-
tally unable to educate their children
as they themselves were educated, UNI
able to equipe them for the work of
their kind in the world. Other mil
lions have been prevented by proverty
from having children at all. For the
present this deeper cause Is scaresly
realized: no voice OF protest is rails
ed. But when the financial cause Is
reinforced and inspired by a full sense
the moral issue. the patriotic issue,
we shall have material for strife of
the bitterest.-John Corbin In The
| North American Review.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

The Cedar Rapids Tribune Gays
"The supreme court decisions ns
handed down by Ben Salinser is an
other OF the underlying causes OF
criticism, not so much because of
the text as because OF certain opin-
ions. firmly fixed In the public mind.
regarding Salinger and his close con-
nection with leading utility men OF
the stnte. Undoubtedly If tho inside
story was known regarding the
manlpulations OF these men and Sal
tnger's managers at not only the ju-
dicial convention In Des Moines 1t
would prove OF startling interest AS
an aside it might be said that other
matters other than the utilitios sup
port OF Salinger entered in and in
fixing the full responsibilities Of the
support OF Salinger by the Linn
county delegates 1t would be we'll to
bark back to the action Of certain
delegations controlled by Saiinger or
his friends in the previous affair at
Des Moines."
"A 1918 nickel without tho buffa-
los head on 1t is worth $500: all the
rest are worth about cent and a
half" asserts the Burlington Gu
zette.
Referring to the death OF James
Wilson the Waterloo Times Tribune
says TT was simply the fluttering
down of another leaf from the tree
of pioneer days-Ithe Golden Age OF
the West"
The Webster City fireman. Journal
thinks Geo. d. Heron ought to
como homo and assist the party that
honored him with an important ap-
pointment. Even If President Wilson
is not the candidate for president he
says Mr.. Cox can be relied upon to
carry out his policies. That ought to
satisfy Heron"
Incidentally" remarks tho Dubu-
que Tines Journal city folks who
denounce the farmer as profiteer
had better take a reef In their opin-
ion. About the only profiteering
farmers visible to the naked eye are
those in the vicinity OF cities who
charge oil that the automobile traf-
fic will bear. Can you blame 'em
much?"
Rents may be high. but travelling
has gone so much higher that II Is,
after all. the cheaper way of spend
ing what time mortal Is allotted
on this EARTH says the Cedar Rap
ids Republican,. I'm heaven. of
course, it will be entirely different,
and Ii coal Is marked UP by profit
teers in the other place, what diff
ference will 1t make. since it will be
hot enough there without fuel"

at 5la per cent interest. One hundred
acres OF the land can be put into corn
each year. thirty acres In tame hay.
and seventy acres In oats. In addi-
ton to the 200 acres OF high class
land there are 100 acres OF pasture
which our correspondent owns. He
would like to know how long 1t will

vided It yields and average OF forty
bushels of corn per acre. forty bush
els OF oats and n ton of hay. So far
as prices are concerned. he wishes
us to assume prices as they have been
as the average of the past ten years.
AS an average for the past ten
years. the farm price OF corn In Iowa
has averaged about so cents, oats 40
cents. and hay about s13 ton. With
prices this low II will be absolutely
necessary for our correspondent to
get larger yields than forty bushels
Of corn and oats per acre IL he is to
pay out on his land. At q rough
guess we would say that 1t would
be necessary for him to average a
little better than fifty bushels each
OF corn and oats in order to meet
his exceedingly heavy overhead
charge, a charge amounting to near
~ SIS per acre. Another source
of great relief is a possibility
that prices will average some

past ten years. If corn averages a

Polk Woman
Makes Success
of Poultry Yard

Independence. Ore, Dec. IS
Mrs f. p. Ground. who resides on
farm south of here, has demon
strated to her entire satisfaction
that "the best is the cheapest
with poultry as with everything
else on the farm. The financial
returns from chickens, she says,
when handled in a modern way,
surpass her expectations. Mrs.
Ground has handled chickens for
many years, but they were of the
barnyard variety and received lit
tie attention except as they de-
manded food and hands to gather
the egg product, which was usual
ly taken to the stores and traded
for necessaries of the house. She
had been reading of others sue
cess IN the pure-bred poultry in
dustry, and recently became inter
ested. She inaugurated a new sys-
TEN in the poultry yard and it has
been conducted upon lines approv-
ed by experts in the industry. The
result has surpassed her greatest
and Mrs. Ground isl
now among the foremost of Ore
gon poultry producers, breeding
standard fowls with a remarkable
degree of success.
