THE FARMER 8 SIDE.

Editor Every Evening. In reply To the
article written by Mr.. Given Of Marshall
ton, | would like 10 state few facts and
arguments No man in this neigbborhood
can be begged" TO work before q. m.
or after 9 p. IN. Nearly every farmer has
his own car and takes bis hired men to
Wilmington when the busy work
issover. The "hands" get day with pay
when they want it, 10 go where they please.
Mr. Given also wants kind treat
ment." The American farmer is noted
for his fine table. Asparagus, peas, LETT
tuee, radishes and other vegetables in
season; pork and beef, too, on the menu
on most ell farms. He has strawberries,
cherries, rhubarb, in season and canned,
for dessert Then he gets a private driving
horse or his horse kept.
MIR Given complains about wages
The amount which he wanted together
with house rent firewood, etc, is very
close 10 800. Suppose the men we're get
ting the same. What would the farmer get
off of his farm9
In this section farmers are absolutely
unable to get day help at any price. We
are forced 10 compete with s4.60 wages
paid by the Baldt Co at New Castle
Mr.. Given's arguments are all right in
way, but they do notweigh much.

PRESS COMMENTS.
PERFIDY AND PLUMBER.

Being in the business of ripping treaties
and discrediting the United States abroad,
il naturally occurs to Senator Borah to
introduce a bill abolishing Panama Canal
tolls on American coastwise shipping.
This question was fought out in 1914,
when, under President Wilson's. leader
ship, the clause of the original Canal act
deadheading coastwise vessels was re-
pealed.
Then as now those who favored what
amounts TO a ship subsidy relied upon
anti-British prejudice for argument and
votes. BY the Hay-pauncefote treaty we
were solemnly bound to the proposition
that the canal should be free and open TO
the vessels of commerce and war OF oil
nations 'on terms OF entire equality" In
spite of sophistry, legal bubbles. and
shameless appeals to the lowest national
passions, the covenant was at last sils-
tanned by Congress, but both parties
were split by the process.
Reviving the disreputable contention
today, Senator Borah may be expected to
make the most OF such hostility to Great
Britain as exists here. touching lightly
upon the matter of good faith and ignoring
altogether another consideration in which
the American people, already tax bur
dened, have a keen pocket interest. We
have invested about S375, COO 0O0 at the
isthmus, and the money return upon that
outlay must come in the form of tolls
If during government operation OF the
railroads Senator Borah had proposed
to carry the products of the Steel Corpora
tion free, or were now to extend the
franking privilege in the mails to the
Standard OIL Co. these projects morally
would be on level with the plan 10 confer
upon coastwise shipping the use of the
canal without cost
In their present frame Of mind the
Republicans at Washington will be easily
inclined toward any affront that may be
put upon a recent associate in war and
they will lightly ignore, perhaps, such
responsibilities as usually attach to
perhdy. But with all their demagogy and
all their desperate need Of old and new
hatreds for campaign purposes, how are
they to justify the plundering of the
Treasury by a private monopoly?-New
York World.

"Hence These Tears"

II is astonishing to what extent the
vicious hatred Of President Wilson Is
manifested in the columns Of opposition
newspapers that should have more re-
gard for morality and common sense than
10 make such rabid accusations as many
of them do. They endeavor TO make the
President responsible for everything that
intcrferes with tho well-being Of the people
Now they arc blaming President Viii
son for the sugar situation. They say
he should have bought the Cuban sugar
crop. early in the year, and made "satis-
factory arrangements" for the disposition
Of the Louisiana sugar crop. Had ne
done this, they allege. sugar would have
been much cheaper today. Also, had he
done it they would have condemned him
savagelv.
What a notion. That the President Of
the United States should bug sugar sup
plies for the people If sugar. why not
wheat, potatoes. cotton, or any other
commodity in which the people have .
concern? In fact, make a full-fedged
shopkeeper of Uncle Sam.
But these vicious partisans have not
a word TO say about Congress doing moth
ing To relieve the sugar situation or any
other situation that operates to distress
the people. Congress may appropriately
take action TO serve the people through
legislation. but this is not the province Of
the President. But the bitter partisans
say nothing about the do-nothing Con-
gress. which has been in session for more
than a year. and open their vials Of wrath
upon President Wilson.
The fact is, these unfair and rabid
partisans can never forgive the fact Of
the country having fought and won
foreign war. with unexampled credit
and glory, under a Democratic admins
tration. 'rHinc illa lachrimR.'

MOVING DAY NEAR THE RHINE.

Flowers greeted the arrival of William
Hohenzolern at his new residonce--the
house Of Thorns as that ex-imperial head
probably finds it in more ways than one.
Flowers were almost certainly omitted AZ
the departure Of the French forces Of
occupation from Frankfort. The connec-
ton between the two moving days is
obyious-and is likely 10 persist. So long as
William Hohenzollern contents himself
with moving about from one place TO
another in Holland, there is little danger Of
q French moving day across the Rhine.
But it is certain that if, IN any visible
future, Williams thoughts turn seriously
to Berlin. French thoughts-and action
will turn to the right bank Of the Rhine.
The French have shown that when it
comes to the fundamentals Of victory, the
destruction Of German Imperialism, they
will take no chances; and with them will
be all Allied sympathy Charles of Haps-
burg may look forward 10 return to
Vienna, but William HohenzolleTn might
az well resign himself to banking his
Thorn with as many flowers as he needs
to make long stay tolerable.-New York

The Reaction From High Prices.

Suddenly and unexpectedly, several
days ago, began decided reaction against
high prices. Starting in the East, 1T
jumped suddenly to the West, and today
is in evidence in nearly every part of the
country. Large stores are daily advertis-
ing general reductions in heretofore pre-
vailing prices of from 20 to 40, and IN
some instances, so per cent. The trend
has not yet reached food prices, but it is
hardly likely they can escape the general
movement in a lower direction.
There are various reasons Tor TINS
sudden but most grateful revolution. IL
is said the banking institutions started 1T
by determining to put stop to the
money initiation that naturally attended
movements to store stocks for high prices,
and by making peremptory calls Tor loans,
in addition to estopping further credits
along these lines. This was q powerful
incentive, but there is no doubt public
sentiment also was an important factor.
The deep unrest prevailing in every com
and maintenance of high prices was
apparent, and there is no doubt keen
sighted business men began to realize
the crest had been reached, and that
another policy had to be adopted. SO
many families had resorted to the virtue
of economy that the effects of a falling
off in 1,rrchases were manifest
And so it is the pendulum seems to
be swinging in the opposite direction
Ever since the breaking out Of the war
in Europe it had been steadily swinging
in the direction of high prices, until the
cost of living in this country mounted
to level practically unprecedented even
in the direst stress periods of the past
And although wages keep rising in almost
equal pace, the high prices reduced the
purchasing capacity Of the dollar until
it scarcely reached half of what it was
a few years ago.
Thus at last is at least partial eXem-
plfication Of the old adage: For tune,
at last, makes all things even" 1t IS
hoped the movement in the direction OF
lower prices will continue, steadily, not
spasmodically, until the normal mean
Is attained. For it is the normal condi-
ton that best serves the interests Of the
people. Feverish fluctuations no matter
h which direction, are not conducive to
assuring business conditions. With ?
rend towards lower prices, with promise
Il some speedy relief from the freight
raffic congestion, one Of the reasons for
increased costs, the country should soon
set down to solid and satisfactory basis

THE VILLAIN.
AS seen by almost any Congressional
investigating committeel.

Was a hundred million wasted on the
nitrate plants alone,
Without a pound to help TO win the
fight?
Is the bread supply decreasing as it never
did before,
And the cost of fertilizer out Of sight?
Then there's clearly something rotten. we
regretfully declare,
There is one whose dereliotion IS TO
blame;
We arc loath to make If public, but he did
not do his share,
And Wilson, Woodrow Wilson, is his
name.
Are the Anarchists attempting now to
overthrow the state
Is Red Rebellion shouting TO the skiesY
Is the sugar crop of Cuba IN the hands OF
prohteers?
Are the admirals IN the navy telling
lies7
Then there's surely something sinister,
we feel impelled to say:
There is one whose hideous crimes we
must proclaim;
He's the master of malfeasance, he's the
man who leads the way,
And Wilson, Woodrow Wilson, is his
name.
Are the railroads near TO ruin with tie-up
OF their cars
Is parchhng Prohibition still law?
Are the Turks and the Armenians now
plunged anew in strife3
Is the country that we live in yet at
war?
Then there's manifestly something that
our duty bids us cry;
There is one who has refused 10 play
the game
There is one who Is responsible, we say II
with sigh,
And Wilson, Woodrow Wilson, Is his
name.

WOULD TAKE HOOVER.

The Oregonian is asked If il would not
prefer TO sec Senator Johnson nominated
by the Republicans TO the international
ist' Herbert Hoover. There will be no
difficulty for the Oregonian about a de-
cision. II would by all means wish to
accept the alternative Of Hoover, and it
would manage, in that contingency, 20 go
along through the campaign with meas
urable equanmitv. 1t is IN general accord
with the views of Mr., Hoover on major
public questions and il is not at all dis
turbed by the charge that he is an inter-
nationalist.
The basis Of that appalling accusation
is that he has lived abroad for some years.
In the sense that he has sympathy with
and understanding Of world problems he
is an internationalist; in the sense that
any assumption is conveyed that he has

MENACE OF THE FLY.

With the approach Of warm weather
the ubiquitous and highly dangerous
housefy enters upon his annual career
Of destruction. and the recent warning
issued bv the Board of Health should be
carefully read and needed by every one.
These instructions relate principally
to the necessity Of keeping all food covered
and thus protected against the germ carry
ing propensities Of the fly. The manner
in which the public can best cooperate Is
by refusing 10 purchase any foodstufis
not so protected. Once merchants, and
especially street venders, learn that they
are unable to sell goods which are exposed
TO contagion--fo this is what leaving them
unprotected amounts to-they will speed
ilv take the necessary steps TO make their
wares safe.
II ever there was q preventable evil,
il is the fv. When the first campaign
against his ravages was begun some
nine or ten years ago, the sanitary dangers
Of the fIy were but little understood, but
in the time since elapsed the public has
been educated 10 a keen realization Of
them. Like every other movement for the
public veal. the remedy lies in the hands
Of the people themselves. A public which
would recoil in horror st the proposition
10 allow man-eating tiger at large, ac-
cepts with cquanimity menace to life
10000 times as deadly.-Phlladeiph

THE GUNS OF THE FUTURE.

As we have already announced, q
French officer. Lieutenant Delamare-
Maze, has made an invention by which
II is claimed that ii will be possible TO
double the range Of guns Of the pattern
Of that with which the Germans shelled
Paris in the last year Of the war. The
velocity of the shell will be increased from
2,625 feet to 1925 feet a second and the
range heightened 10 80 miles. So strongly
does the French government believe in the
value OF his invention that il has purchased
the patent
At the same time it has, in the best
spirit of the Entente, authorized him to
dispose Of his rights to the Allied govern
ments, and the War Office is taking an
active interest in the proposals laid before
it, 1t may therefore be taken for granted
that the invention, which its author hopes
it will be possible TO adapt TO machine
guns and rifles, is practical reality, with
which all nations win have to reckon in
future wars That makes it q portent IN
the military history Of the world and
enormously strengthens the case for the
League Of Nations London Times.

At last we'd found a useful way To
curb the rising cost, and make the

The honest workers everywhere IN

no duds TO spare-we'd bought his
