The San Francisco Platform ADOPTED
at Last.
Times have changed when a Demo-
cratic platform of 5000 words deyotes
only 40 words to the tariff. For the
three campaigns of Grover Cleveland,
two of which resulted successfully, the
tariff was the paramount issue, so rec
ognized and so estimated. To-day the
Democrats proclaim as their pre- emf
nent issue that form of world Organi-
zation to which their president has
given the name the league of nations,
and to that they devote most of their
platform Nor do we see that the
sighting emandation which Senator
Walsh succeeded in obtaining amounts
TO much. or constitutes in any sense
a departure from the original purpose
of the platform makers. There remains
no question that the Democratic party
of 1870 stands with Wilson on the
league.
The platform avoids the bonus. just
as did that adopted at Chicago. With
neither political party declaring for
such an expenditure, the arrangement

that they will not, even in party plat

1t accords with the long proclaimed
aspiration of the Anti-lmperialist lea
que and most OF the Democratic leaders
of this day as we'll as of the period Of
the treaty of Paris While this is a
subject on which the American people
are not greatly interested, no one can
look at our ledger balances with any
intelligent scrutiny and fail to see that
our possession of the archipelago en-
tails serious and continued cost, as well
as involving some of those long dis
tance risks which the Germans under
took in their retention of Alaace -Lor

rule. The continued effects of au
thority maintained in those conditions,
we have only to guess. The Irish sit

one example.

Conspicuous under this head is pro-

Volstead act, or both. Instead they

KANSAS HAS
A SURPLUS
Harvest Labor Situation in
Kansas and Southwest
Generally Good
WAGE STANDARD
70 CENTS AN HOUR
There is, However, an In
adequate Supply of Cars
for the Shipping

Kansas City. Mo-, July l9,-rhe har-
eest labor situation in Kansas and The
southwest is generally good, according
10 officials of the federal free employ
ment bureau in Kansas City, Kan, and
the Missouri bureau of farm labor, con
ducted by state authorities with fed
eral aid in Kansas City, Mo.
At the opening of this month sur
plus of farm labor was evident. There
we're a number of instances of men who
rame back from the harvest fields de-
rlaring that they chad been unable to
find employment. At the end of the
frst week in July scattered requests
were received for more harvest labor
ers to be sent to counties in north
western Kansas, need which is being
6lled, according to the federal employ
ment agents.
Generally speaking the southwest
has been supplied with all the harvest
labor necessary as soon as the wheat
crop was ready for cutting this sea-
son.
A wage standard of 20 cents an hour
agreed upon by farmers in the wheat
belt of Kansas and announced through
the state labor commissioner, Samuel
Crawford, attracted many workers.
In regard to the car situation, oper-
ating officials of the leading roads
through the wheat sections agree that
there is at present an inadequate sup
ply of available cars. Plenty of cars
have been ordered west, it is stated,
but as yet they have not arrived in
sufficient numbers However, an Off
cial of the local terminal company
In close touch with the interstate com
meree commission, declared that al
though the car supply is still somewhat
short il is better than in other sec
tions of the country and better than
II has been here in past years. Rail
road officials were not inclined TO agree
with this rather optimistic estimate.
The 1920 wheat crop is beginning to
reach Hutchinson, Kan 1t is said TO
average better than for many years,
testing from 60 to 62 pounds to the
bushel and bringing $40 to $3.50 per
bushel.
"Grasshopper planted wheat is re
ported to have turned ont well in many
places. In their attacks cn wheat fields
last fall, grasshoppers cut the leads off
the wheat, causing them to drop to
the ground, which resulted in tracts of
volunteer wheat. Near Lyons a grower
reported 20 bushel to the acre yield
from "grasshopper planted tract.
Extension of credits to farmers un-
able to market last years wheat be-
cause of car shortage, has been prom
ised by federal reserve boards, accord

tee, who have returned m Washing

BIG WOOL SURPLUS.
Argentina Has 2oo,ooo,ooo Pounds Of
Coarser Quality.

Buenos Aires, July l9.-The eessa
ton of the demand for coarse grades
of wool for army uniforms and the re-
fussl Of average people, in spite of the
high cost of living, to buy srlothmg
made of the coarse grades, has left Ar
gentina with more than 200,000,00O
pounds of almost unsaleable wool on
its hands, according to local manu-
facturer of wooden cloth, interviewed
by La Nacion.
This huge quantity will be increased
during the shesring season in July aud
August As the production of wool in
this country is growing year by year,
the problem Of selling the coarser
grades is considered very serious. One
reason for the situation is that for
merly Argentine sheep breeders had
thought more OF THE meat than the
wool, with the result that their stock
became mixed and the consequent wool
coarse and not uniform.
