The Miahty Peanut.


Chicago Daily News: big oaks
from little acorns grow" Is fairly
good and simple old proverb. Per
haps it win serve somewhat made
quately, to express the sudden and
amazing growths that occasionally
come about in American industry or
finance to the establishment of on
lockers. The motion pictures came.
The nickel show" was joke. From
curio, Pickering oddly, it marched
on to stability and proved success.
Today it is among the massivery
reckonable national factors in indus
try, amusement, education. The
motor car came also. What a merry
jest was the "horseless carriage" that
first went chugging along main
thoroughfare of an American city
somewhat more than two decades
ago! How much amused speculation
there was, very similar to that which
greeted Robert Fulton aboard the
Clermont when he travelled up the
Hudson on the first steamboat Now
the peanut. Behold this child goober
developing into the strength Of
maturity. Commercially unknown
before the year 1870. it has reached
by 1900 a production of 12,o0O.ooo
bushels and had mounted to $4,000 900
bushels in 1918. The federal bureau
of crop estimates puts the 1919 total
farm value of the peanut crop of the
United States at $4,000 900.
II begins to look as II we should
have to quit using the word peanut"
as a synonym for pettiness. II man
is doing peanut business nowadays
it may be one Of those infant Titans
of American industry. Trainloads
and ship cargoes from little peanuts
grow.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Knoxville journal: We gods, is it
possible to put over that kind
Pierce Haines-H of stuff
in Iowa? Are the men and women
in Iowa credulous enough to believe
the sinister doctrine OF discomfort
preached by this avowed socialist?
Ringsted Dispatch: We wonder if
Jim Pierce is to have the position Of
secretary OF war in the cabinet OF
the forty Fighters, providing this boil
sheviki party wins in the general
election
Abba Union: Mr.. Kendall is a man
of the people.
Council Bluffs Nonpariel: Iowa is
too one sided politically to obtain fa-
vors from either great national party.
Politicians look for candidates in
doubtful state. But, by gum, we pro-
duce wrestlers who are hard TO beat
Cedar Rapids Republican: The
appropriation for the department OF
agriculture as congress left it is much
higher than it was before the war.
."Tama Jim" Wilson, when he had that
portfolio, had great deal less money
and he did great deal more. For
one thing he did not rattle around SO
much
Washington Democrat: When all
the primary roads in the state are
properly numbered, who's going to
teach each motorist what the different
numbers mean?
Cedar Rapids Republican: That
the primary is a farce and a delusion
was apparent to all fin the state con-
ventionall, since the verdict rendered
was of no account and the speakers
before the convention generally spoke
of it in contempt and they were APP
plauded when they did SO. The pri-
mary has few friends left-and why
should it have any, 1t is a costly
affair both for the state and for the
and it's yerdicts amount
to nothing. Some other means and
ways will have to be devised in it's
stead.

WHERE IS SUCH MANAGEMENT?

Samuel Gompers says the six hundred million
dollars raise in railroad employees wages is a
/" sop He says it does not provide "a living
Iwage'' and that the workers are rightly disap-
pointed All this is followed by the surprising
statement that ineficiency in management OF
railroads is the prime cause of trouble. Mr..
Gompers says that the railroads properly man
aged could pay all expenses and show good
profit without raise OF rates. Where is any
such management as Mr.. Gompers has in mind
to be foundg It was not at hand to the govern
ment; this has been proved to everyone s dis
satisfaction and beyond anyone's doubt Pri-
vate management declares what Mr.. Gompers
says is possible cannot be done. Does Mr..
Gompers imply that he and his fellow labor
leaders could furnish such management is
this approach to the Plumb plan from a new
angle? Or is it just plain buncombe issued for
campaign purposes? A mere gesture to cement
friendly feeling by the railroads toward Mr.
Gompers and his followers? Whatever it is in
motive, it is poor stuff in fact.
