A comMENDAsLE SPEECH

Political speeches are not as a rule
~commendable, or ever interesting. To
most people they are tiresome. But
Senator Hardings address to the farm.
ers Of the country given at the Min.
nesota State fair last week was a
speech worth while listening TO. No,
so much because of its politics, but
because Of its subject matter and the
clear way in which il discussed the
problems OF the farmer and the sol1-
ton Of those problems. II left a much
better impression on the minds OF the
farmers Who heard him than did the
speech OF Governor Cox delivered 1t
the same place. With unusual clear
ness and comprehension. Senator
Harding outlined the entire history
Of farm development TO give his
hearers an understanding Of the fun
damentals Of the subject, before -
lacking the various problems the
farmer must meet He emphasized the
necessity Of conservation of soil fer
tility and warned against the danger
of excessive grain production al the
expense Of the land. He as well a.
the farmer knows that a proper com.
bination Of grain growing and stock
raising viii give the largest returns
and If proper farming methods are
used the land will not lose its fertility.
But the problem is and has been thai
because OF a fiuctuating market the
prices OF live stock and grains vary
SO greatly that it often happens thai
he cannot raise both probably. Coz
ernor Harding advocates the enact
ment Of laws permitting the farmers
TO organize cooperative associations
for marketing their prooucts without
making them liable to prosecution for
conspiracy In restraint of trade. The
particular bill he referred to wa the
collective bargaining bill nov before
congress. Its pafpose IL to stabilize
the grain and livestock markets TO
protect the farmer against loss. When
a farmer feeds s1.20 corn to mis- hogs
he will know that when he gets ready
to market his hogs that the bottom
will not fall out with the prices and
leave him in the hole. The farmer
CANDLES enough when he CANDLES
with the weather, wheat rust, grass
hoppers, hail, cutworms, blight, smut,
etc., without gambling with the mar
kets of grain and livestock. Senator
Harding would also eliminate the prof

niddlemen necessary for distribution
ire all right, but he holds thumbs
lown on the parasitic profteer.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, Novem
Der S-Tral of the soft coal conspr-
acy case against l2S operators and
miners in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and
western Pennsylvania was continu-
ed today until January 10 by federal
Judge A. B. Anderson.
When the cases were called for
trial today, government counsel said
II was not ready to proceed, and
Judge Anderson Immediately under
General Palmer's connection with
them, effort being made TO learn
what orders the attorney general
had given regarding the scope of the
governments evidence.
In setting January 10 as the date
for the trials, Judge Anderson de-
olared that meanwh lie he would "at
least find out whether we are gov
erned by law or by persons" His
remark was intended apparently TO
apply to Mr.. Palmer, whose actions,
the Judge also asserted, were
strangely close to the componnding
Of felony, and dangerously near
contempt OF court"
II was also indicated that the
federal grand jury would reopen its
investigations into the coal conspir-
2cy cases.

President elect Hardines special
tain reached here safely at noon to-
day. the senator feeling fine and
anxious 10 begin h S vacation hunt

the RIO Orande.
All along the route through Texas
The sen. o. train was surrounded
by crowds of people at almost every
station. lie spoke az practically
every station where there was a
large crowd, briefly at least, whether
IT was day or night.
Short though h S speeches were
because his train was hurrying to
Point Isabel, which will be his hunt
ing headquarters during his outing,
he voiced tersely his doctr ne OF a
reunited nation in which sectional
ism and class, he said. should be for
sottcif
He assured every crowd that
his administration would be
guided by the good Of all the
people, rather than by partisan
ship, and also included in every
speech a plea for Sabbath OBJ
seryance and for an awakened
religious reverence in Ameri:a.
As his train entered the state, the
president elect received a message
oi greeting and welcome from Gov.
w. p Hobby and replied thankfully
Noicing hope that his stay along
the southwest border OF the country
would help cement relations of the
north and the south.
Conference Not Expected
Point Isabel is on the Gulf coast
and within six miles of the Rio Gran
de. The approach OF the pres dent
elect so near the Mexican border
caused considerable speculation as
to whether he might use his II days
stay to gather first hand information
on conditions in the southern repub-
l:c, but il was sa 4 that any steps he
took would be OF a strictly unofficial
character
II has been reported that efforts
would be made to arrange con-
terence between Mr.. Harding and
Gen. Alvaro Obregon, president-elect
OF Mexico.

lave heard only in roundabout way
OF the suggestion for a conference
between the two presidents elect

Harding said he personally knew
