FARMERS TO CITY FELLOWS.

We ask the city workers to pom der moment what might happen if the farmers should do what the workers are doing - demanding shorter hours and higher pay. The farmers are their own bosses, so they would not have to quarrel with any body. They could hold out on strike until they got good and ready, for they can feed themselves.
 You working city fellows, suppose for moment that the farmer adopt ed the eight-hour day. It would cut down production at least half. Sup pose they also set price on their labor and their products based on an eight-hour scale Where would you buy your food? Only the rich could buy it at all, for the price would be prohibitive to men on strike. If the cost of living is too high now, how will lessened production affect it? How will increased cost of produc- tion bring prices down?
 If you city fellows expect the far mers to go on feeding you at the old price you have got to get back to work at the old wage and make it possible for the farmer to buy cheaper This is not a one-sided game. It takes two to play it and if you city fellows quit, don't get sore if you go hungry soon. Either the farmers must do as you are doing, shorten the hours and demand higher pay, or else you must lengthen the hours and produce more without more pay.
 The farmers have been patient

 By ROBERT EDISON
TO CHANGE THE DUTIES
 OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
o-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-(

Since the adoption of amendments to the constitution has become more or less of an easy thing to accom- plish, much talk is now heard in of ficial and political quarters at the capital to bring about a further change in the historic document, which will aim to help guard against conditions that have been brought about by the prolonged illness of the president. The constitution provides that the vice president can assume the office of president only upon the death of that official, and that be- fore such an emergency his duties are comprised solely of acting as the presiding officer of the senate. The proposed amendmeIs would relieve the vice president of his present duty and would require him to take up hi: office at the White House as an ac tive associate of the president in thu transaction of all public business He would attend all cabinet meet ings and would act in the place o; the president whenever that officia was incapacitated by illness or ab sent from his duties for any pro ionged length of time, for any req son. The amendment would als, provide that the presiding officer O the senate would either be electe, from among the members of the sen ate or would be made by presidentia appointment.

HIS WEES BODY LOST;

Many essays have been written on the costs of carelessness, many lee lures have been delivered on the subject and many examples given, but never perhaps has any one used such an argument or illustration as is furnished in the suit of Segrist vs. the trustees of St. Raymond's ceme- tery, now on the docket in the su- preme court of Bronx county, New York city. . s

 From the complaint it appears that Mrs. Siegrist died October l5, 1918. Three days later the body was to be inferred in St. Raymond's cemetery, MT. Siegrist having made arrange ments for certain grave. For some reason the grave was not ready. The cemetery people asked to have the body remain in a receiving vault temporarily. Mir. Siegrist agreed. Since then the body has disappeared. He has been unable to get any in- formation from the cemetery off, cials. Whether it has been mislaid, sold or stolen, he does not know. Much distrissed, if not angered, he has brought suit.

Johnson Declares
For World Forum
'Irreconcilable" Heartily In
dorses Association Plan Of
Republican Nominee.

New York Oct. 2l.-Senator
Hiram Johnson of California, league
of nations ''irreconcilable," today
made a statement at republican ma
tional headquarters here In which
he would be delighted" to see
established an international forum"
where, in the open, there would be
full discussion of international
problems which might form public
opinion and thus tend to prevent
war.
II do not at present see how it is
possible to go beyond this" said the
senator. "The issue of this CAM
paign is the league of nations-a
specific, concrete contract, and not
the efforts and endeavors of civilized
people to end wars" he continued.
ITO some persons party regularity
transcends an important principle" !"
He added that if he were candi-
date for the presidency he, would
not appreciate efforts to interpret
his stand as other than that his back
was turned on the league OF nations.
Predicting an overwhelming re-
publican victory in California, the
senator announced the following re-
vised itinerary for his speaking trip:
Tonight, Perth Amboy, N. J.; to-
morrow, Baltimore; Saturday night,
Hartford, Conn; Monday, Canton,
O., and Tuesday, Detroit. After
that he will leave for Chicago.

+ Commissioner Williams, on seeing
those figures, set his experts to work
TO find out why the withdrawal of
distilled spirits from warehouses
amounted to much more under dry
laws than they did under the old wet
system. 1t was reported to him that
about three-fourths of the liquor
taken out was being used for bever-
age and not nonbeverage purposes.
Most of the users of distilled spir-
its would rather have alcohol, for if
they want to divert it to iliegitimate
channels they can make three gal
Ions of whisky out of one gallon of
alcohol, which costs very little more
per unit.
Becoming alarmed at the threat
ening attitude of the bureau of in
ternal revenue, druggists organiza-
tions hurried to Washington to
promise them assistance in running
down the crooked fellows. They
want to continue to get their alcohol
for nonbeverage products. Leading
druggists of New York and other
cities, chiefly in the east, came here
within the last 10 days to assure the
agents that they do not
care to make profits by handling in
toxicating liquors, but they want to
be free to use in a legitimate way
what they used for filing prescrip-
tions and manufacturing.

possibly North Carolina. The solid
south, with these exceptions, and the
three western states, were all in
which Mr.. Hays would concede that
the democratic chances seemed better
than republican.
He said there was no doubt OF
sweeping republican victories in Illi-
