PRESS COMMENTS
CAMPAIGN FUNDS.


In the weter of facts and alleged facts,
Of charges and countcicharpcs, concerning
campaign funds, one fact stands out
prominently against the horizon. That is,
that the Republicans have plenty OF
money wherewith TO conduct their cam
paign and the Democrats mig hty little.
The Official Bulletin of the Republican
National Committee, the journal OF
"Step on the gas" and Boys, get the
money" fame. in its issue OF September
16 states that the Republican National
Committee had raised for Presidential
and State campaign purposes, from June
Ia up to August %, 1920 the sum of
$1,017, ,255. II precedents are followed,
that will be but small proportion OF
the total, for ordinarily only a slight
percentage of the total is collected that
early in the campaign.
Contrast this sum of more than
million with the less than $3.50, 900
which the Democratic committee has
raised TO date, and the comparative pow
erty of the Democratic party is evident.
If the disparity continues as great
throughout the campaign, unquestion-
ably money will have a great deal 10 do
with the result And money ought not
to determine the result
The Democratic party especially needs
money because its success DIN this cam
paign depends largely upon its ability
successfully to conduct a campaign of
education. If the facts regarding the
League of Nations, the facts so admirably
presented by Prof. Irving Fisher in the
series of articles, the last of which was
printed IN The Evening Sun yesterday,
could be brought home to every voter
we have no doubt what the decision of the
great majority of the voters would be.
That takes money, however, and up 10
date the Democratic party has raised
only a small fraction of the amount nedeed
properly TO present the case for the League.
The amount thus far raised would not
begin to pay even for the printing and
mailing of a copy Of Professor Fisher S
article 10 each Of the voters of the country.
Chairman White has appealed to the
friends of the League and Democrats
generally to match the President with
gift of $500 TO the campaign fund.
There assuredly should be 900 persons
in the country willing To. duplicate the
President s contribution. But the thing
should not stop there, Every Democrat,
every friend of the League, every voter
who believes that the fate of the League
and the peace of the world depend. upon
the success of Cox and Roosevelt should
contribute what he oan.--Baltimore Sun.

mistaken Buildings.

A feature of the Wall street bomb out
rage was the comparative insignlfcance OF
: the damage done TO the great buildings of
! the financial centre. If the real purpose
of the plotters was to blow up Wall
street" their attempt has ended IN COM
pIete failure. The conclusion shattered
thousands OF panes of glass, the broken
slugs of the bomb or internal machine
pitted the stone work of nearby offices, but
otherwise the buildings seem TO have
been unscathed.
Investigation by the police tends to
show that the perpetrators Of the crime
intended to start confagration. Several
rusty and battered tin cans have been
discovered at the scene Of the explosion
which. il is believed, were filed with
gasoline and kerosene. This diabolical
attempt also proved futile, although it
doubtless accounts for the fact that 50
many Of the innocent victims were ter
ribly burned.
The incident demonstrates the difficult
", il not impossibility, of destroying
great modern buildings through an out
side explosion As the visitor from other
countries wanders along the streets of
lower New York, he often wonders
whether the skyscraper is secure, whether
some day it will not come topping down
of its own weight. He need not fear, for it
is a most solid and enduring thing. To
destroy Wall street would require train
Of mining engineers, or bombardment by
super guns, OF an earthquake.

Said Senator Harding the other day:
~ promise you that one of the first acts of
the incoming administration will be TO un-
furl the flag again on all the seas Of the
world" But he may not, and probably
will not, be elected President. And again,
how about Congress? Would it have
nothing to say about the matter? We
have heard much from Harding and his
supporters about the President ''usurping
the powers of Congress"

TOPICS OF THE FARM
department Devoted Exclusively to Farm
Affairs in Hand County


appointed by Congress or the Presl-
dent; to defend the farmers viewpoint
in all matters relating to tax levies,
tariffs, currency, banking, railways,
highways, waterways, foreign markets
the merchant marine, territorial &C
quisitions and all similar legislative
matters involving questions of policy,
in M way effecting agriculture; to
insist on some arrangement between
capital and labor which will insure
freedom frcm disrupting and GRIMM
ally wasteful strikes; to strengthen
the Federal Farm Loan Act and Sc
cure in addition, the establishment OF
a system of personal credits; to de-
mand the regulation under govern
ment supervision, Of all commercial
interests whose size and kind Of bust
ness enables them to establish a mon
opOly dangerous to the best interests
of the nation
A careful analysis Of the program
of work, particularly Of the legisla-
tive branch, will show that the Farm
Bureau is absolutely not inclined to
favor class legislation. The farmer
has always been the stabilizing in
fuence OF the nation and may long
continue to be so. AS an organization
the Farm Bureau Federation asks only
that a square deal be given and that
the farmer be given equal recognition
with other industries and labor inter
Csts. Certainly the present balance
of the industrial laborer's hour as
compared to the farmers hour cannot
and must not be allowed to be main
tanned. AS il nov stands the farmer,
to produce food for the nation, must
give from one and one-half to two and
one-half hours to the industrial lab
orer's one hour. An ever balance
must be struck. Labor together with
business interests have forced this
Cne-sided condition. If farmers ever
hope to equalize conditions and make
the city mans hour equal to the far
mers' hour, they must do so through
organization. 1t must be remembered
that the evils which concern the farm
er's welfare have taken years to ac-
cumulate and that they cannot be re-
moved all a. once.
NOTE-Next week the Economic
and Executive branches will be dis
cussed and a report of the Federation
work up to date given.)

THE FARM BUREAU


NOrE-This is the third of a series
of articles on the Farm Bureau. OF
hers will appear from time to time.
Preceding article discussed the Or
ga~nization of the County, State add
American Farm Bureaus and how and
why the Farm Bureau movement came
to be in existence. This article will
tell something of what the Farm Blu
reaJ stands for and what 1t expects
to accomplish.
In the first place the main object
is to develop a completely unified ma
ticnal organization that can and will
act as spokesman for the farmer and
to adequately represent the farmer
and the farmers interests on all Oc-
casions.
The Program of work as outlined
by the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton divided into the following
main headings.
EDUCATIONAL.
LEGISLATIVE.
ECONOMIC.
EXECUTIVE.
The first two will be taken up in
this article.
Educational
Farmers because of their isolation
have become mostly individualists.
Each one has acted within his W
sphere and taken but little interest in
business and labor development. They
have paid what was asked for COM
modities and largely taken what was
offered for their products. Farmers
have long felt that injustice was being
done but could see no effective way
out but quit the farm or in a measure
encourage their children to seek bet
ter opportunities in the cities and in
dustrial centers that they too may not
get caught in the same mill. The cit
les now hold seventy per cent of our
population. Twenty years 6 condi-
lions were reversed.
Through the Farm Bureau move
ment it is expected a great deal of
Injustice can be eliminated through
eqective organization and through this
organization to effectively bring far
mers together so that they will act
collectively This can only be effected
through an educational campaign that
is designed to create in the minds of
people generally a better conception
OF the farmers relationship to other
units in the social and economic stru-
cture. The Farm Bureau wishes to
reestablish agriculture in the public
mind as the foremost industry, on
which all others depend, and in the
prosecution of which man reaches his
highest place of development. The
Farm Bureau wishes to encourage and
assist in the development of food pro-
dIction to its highest state of efici-
iancy, but in this effort, wishes to see
that the farmers hour and product Is
made commensurate with the hour
and product of the industrial worker.
The Farm Bureau wishes to foster and
develop all those lines of endeavor
which make for better homes, better
social and religious life, better health,
and better rural living in every sense.
One reason the country young people
leave the farm is because of the lack
of convenience. and pleasures which
the town and city young people en-
JOY. These things can and are being
provided in the country though to a
limited extent. Pleasures in many
ways may be provided through the
right kind of community o~rganiza-
ton.

Legislative

Business and Labor interests, for
years have maintained lobbyists or leg
islative committees to confer with
State and National legislators regard
in legislation or special interest to
their welfare. Seldom IL ever was
the farmer represented. Certainly not
officially until the American Farm Blu
a Federation came into being.
Now the farmers are represented by
a farmer, well informed and compe-
tent. This farmer lobbist is within
"a hours communication of PRACTICAL
ly every farm Bureau member in the
country. Business concerning farm
ers can be wired to the State Farm
Bureau office in each state. These
offices can Immediately get in touch
with the County Farm Bureaus, from
which information can be forwarded
directly to every farmer in the & a
ization.
The object Of the legislative branch
OF the American Farm Bureau FEEDER
is to safe guard the rights and
interests and to assert the needs OF
the farmer whenever occasion may
arise; to establish without question
the legality Of collective bargaining;
10 insist upon the presence Of farmer
minds on all boards and commissions
