FOR a SQUARE DEAL.

FAIRNESS and grange organizations
throughout the country are joining
nationwide movement to induce
Congress to pass measures of relief
that will ward off the disaster threat
ened by tight" money and the pre-
cipitatc drop in food prices in the
wholesale markets. We are Mt one
with the farmers in their demand
that they shall be freed from the
clutches of thd combinations and
speculative "rings" that have been
gambling in nesessaries of life, and
we hope that way will be found
to insure to the food producers n
reasonable price for their live stock
and cropss. We wal even 20 a step
farther and indorse the demand of
the workers of the country that
gambling in foodstuifs shall be made
penal oircnsc, but while we are
strongly in favor of doing every
thing that can be done, within the
law, to alleviate the patent distress
of the tillers of the soil, we are firm
ly opposed to any movement, whcth-
cr sponsored by spectators or pro-

We believe that the farmer today
is the victim of the determination
| of consumers to buy only what is
absolutely necessary, and this deter
mination is the natural outgrowth
Of resentment against those who

than two years after the armihticc
was signed. We also believe that

sumner. like the worm, finally turned.
have been and are still guilty of
criminal greed We therefore ssup-
gest that while our Legislators arc
buslly seeking "a way out" for the
farmer they sh:ll also enact laws,
with teeth in them, that will pro-
tect the millions who have been and
are still suffering from high prices.
Everybody will admit that the
farmer is entitled to n reasonable
price for his products and that the
wholesaler and retailer must cceivc
compensation in accordance with the
! work and risk involved in handling
these products, but the Evening Dis

THE CHURCHES AND MOVIES.

1t is authoritativcly stated tina.
twenty million people attend the
movies daily in this country, not
quite one fifth of the population of
the entire United States. Multiply
this number by six, the number of
days the theatres are open weekly
and the figures show that more than
a hundred million attendances are
registered weekly.
This is about three times the num-
Der of people in attendance in the
churches and Sunday schools of ali
denominations. The point is, that the
movies may be the source of far
reaching influence for good or evil
is clearly apparent. Immoral and
suggestive pictures have been the
ruin already of many Il boy and girl
the papers state, which means that
this character of pictures should be
tabooed by the managers of the
theatres, who put character build
ing above financial gains.

PRESIDENT APPEALS FOR

Washington, DEG. 4-Prcsident
Wilson addressed an appeal to the
American people for contributions to

THE FARMERS SHOULD TAKE
THEIR MEDICINE.

Farmers are generally level head
ed men, and hence the cry and pro-
test they arc sending out is some
thing of n surprise. In the downward
trend of prices the farmer has been
hit but no harder than the whole
salers, manufacturers etc. The farm
ers, and everybody else knew that war
prices could not continue. Along with
other great producers the farmers
cannot hope to escape To attempt
to hold wheat and corn from the
market depending upon relief from
the government is an unwisc policy
to say the lcastWith cheap bread
and meat and clothes and shoes, farm
labor must be, and will be cheaper.
The farmers should be protected
from stock gamblers and grain man
lpilators, and given Il square deal,
and when this is done he should
pocket his losses like everybody else
take his medicine like a little man
and swallow is down without kick
ing and making it necessary for
some one to hold his hands and his
nose while the dose is poured down
him. These are reconstruction and
REIMBURSEMENT times following the
war, and everything will come around
all right
The farmers have the right to OK
pect and demand, that such things as
they need and use in their operations.
shall come down in price correspond
ingly, and then, the great army OF
the farmers should not and cannot
complain.

CRY FOR HELP FOLLOWS PRE-
CEDENT

Return of the tramp. increase of
unemployment and urgent appeals
from the Associated Charities are
not healthy symptoms, but they are
symptoms such as always have pre-
coded return to health and normal
conditions after war in this country.
The difference is that developments
in the process of restoration come
faster now than they have hereto
fore. The time of depression, read
justment and distress ylmc seven
years after the war of 1912 and
eight years after the war of 1861
CD. We are having it in two years,
and apparently much more easily
than our predecessors.
The panic of 1873 is fresh i'm the
memories of many yet among us. In
November. 1921. the Richmond En-
quirer announced that -four was sell
ing ut from 81 to 50 barrel. The
members of the Virginia General
Assembly reduced thci own pay be-
cause of the reduced cost of living.
We then were in the same condition
Europe is in now. The balance of
trade and the rates of exchange
were against us. A dollar of ex-
change on London cost $1.09. The
Enquirer carried columns of adver-
tisements Of sales under deeds of
trust, including some of the most
notable estates in Virginia, and
drcary series of accounts of the fail
ures of banks. especially in the West,
with liabilities hopelessly in excess
of assets. LEGAL merchants announced
arrivals of prnls from England to be
sold cheap "for negotiable paper, or
to punctual customers" Cash was
not mentioned. The Enquirer com
mentcd bitterly or the number of
idle rich. including Il large proper
ton If females" Nhc had crowded
the pleasure resorts all summer
while in New York and the other
commercial centers the streess were
throrged with beggars and all tie
avenues of charity were overc.owd-
ed with hungry applicants.
AS the reaction has come in ono
fourth the time required after form
err wars, we may expect the recovery
to be proportionately swift. Judging
by precedent, we have seen about
the worst of it, Those who help the
needy to tide over until the sprinr
may have the satisfaction of feeling
that they are doing real and substan-
tial good and giving a lift the re-
suits of which will be permanent. =

In small town upstate there was
not one person who knew how to
play the organ at the church. At
last girl who could play just few,
and very few hymns ut that, came to
the town. One day the preacher ask

wedding march for a wedding TO-
morrow" The organist replied: 81
am very sorry, bu. do not know
one note Of a wedding march," The
preacher knew that they must have

A mine foreman was here the
other day. In the course of con-
versation it was learned, that he
gets $500 a month, only himself an,
wife. He saves nothing. Ordinary
cart drivers and shovel men on the
out side, get six and seven dollars d
day, and don't earn half of it, he
said. Miners inside dig by the car,
and make ten and twenty dollars a
day. So you see, there is a reason
why Tazewell people are assessed
ten dollars ton for coal.

PURE MILK CRUSADE ON.
Cedar Rapids Makes Drastic Reau-
iations in Dairy Products.


Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Nov. ia drastic
milk ordinance, regulating the sale
OF milk in this city, providing for In
spection OF milk, dafries and herds,
tuberculin tests after May 1, or pas
tuerization Of all milk as an alterna-
tive, and increasing the duties of the
city milk and dairy inspector has
been drawn up by the city council,
as result Of the agitation for purer
milk apd in conformity with the
plans made by the council when q
city milk inspector was employed.
The new ordinance will be brought
up for action by the council Friday
or Monday. It contains the best
features of several model ordinances
such as that of Minnesota and New
York.
About thirty-seven herds from
which milk is taken for Cedar Rapids
had been tested for tuberculosis and
twenty-five more had made applica-
ton for the test When the state au-
thorities stopped the work on ac-
count Of the appropriations being ex-
hausted. It is hoped that the gen.
eral assembly meeting in January
will provide additional money to take
care Of the work.
At present Cedar Rapids uses ap-
proximately $1,000 quarts of milk q
day, of which only about 5000 quarts
are pasteurized. The capacity Of the
pasteurizing plants is moro than the
amount of the present output so that
probably everyone who wants pas
teurized or tuberculin tested milk
may obtain it
