FARMER IN POLITICS.
Advised to Scrutinize Public Records
of All Candidates.

Washington, D. C., Aug. 2.-Farmers
Of the country were advised to scrutinize
carefully the public records Of all POI
litical candidates and to reject those I'M
friendly to agriculture in a statement
issued here Yesterday BY Charles ; Barrett,
chairman Of the National Board 81 Farm
Organizers and president OF the National
Farmers. Union.
For the first time in the history Of
agriculture great political party conven-
tions have gwen it a distinct and unnis-
taxable place in their platforms, said
Nfr. Barrett 1T Is one thing for a po-
licltcal party To pledge itself 10 the per-
formanceeof certain well-dehned tasks; it
Is quite another thing to show itself to
have the ability or capacity to translate
its promises into statutory law. Il IS
hoped that the farmers in voting for
Presidential electors for the highest Of
fee in the land will consider what the
candidate is likely to be willing or able
to do for agri uIture. Permit me also
to suggest that the farm question being
administrative and legislative it Is most
necessary that Congress be elected that
will carry ont The wise agricultural sug-
gestions OF the Executive.

POPE LAMENTS EVILS
IN WAKE Of THE WAR
Letter on St. Joseph's Annivcr-
sary Refers TO Conditions Pre-
vailing Today.

Rome, Aug. 2.-Evil conditions con-
fronting the world today are outlined
in circular letter issued to the Church
by Pope Benedict Saturday. The purpose
of this letter is to proclaim throughout
the world the fiftieth anniversary OF the
decree by which St Joseph's was named
patron of the Universal Church. The
Pontiff urges the Catholic world TO cele-
brate, for whole year from December
next, solemn functions in honor OF the
saint.
when the end of the war came,
saws the letter, "the minds OF men, led
astray by militarist passion, were eN-
aspereted by the length and bitterness
of the conflict and aggravated by famine
on one side and accumulated riches
in ( hands OF few on the other.
The war brought about two other evils
the diminution of conjugal fidelity and the
diminution of respect for constituted
authority. Licentious habits followed,
even among young women, and there
arose the fatal doctrine OF Communism,
with the absolute destruction of dutiful
relations between nations and between
father and children Terrible conse-
quenoes ensuing have already been ex-
perienced
The letter continues by illustrating the
efficacy of the patronage of st. Joseph,
since the society of mankind is founded
on the family and anything strengthening
Christian domestic organization also
strengthens human society.

TRAVEL IN LEvANT DIFFICULT.
Hotels Crowded With People Waiting for
Steamer Accommodations


Constantinople. July l2.-Travel IN
the Levant kas become so difficult that
hotels in nearly all the larger cities are
crowded with persons waiting for steamer
and railway accommodations Strikes IN
Bulgaria. Serbia and Italy. together with
the lack Of through trains and the I'M
possibility OF getting checked baggage
through because Of theft, have forced
travellers to rely chiefly on steamers TO
French ports. The steamer lines have also
been badly disorganized by labor troubles
and most ships are many days behind
their schedules
Although the United States Shipping
Board has many ships into Constantnople
and the other large Near Eastern ports, IT
has no regular passenger sailings and
women are not permitted to travel on
most Shipping Board boats unless they
are in government service Consequently
Americans have great difficulty in getting
through sailings TO America. Major l.. +.
