Prejudice and NJ. p. League.
From the New York Post.

Ex-Prestdent Taft, commenting on the
North Dakota primaries. lacks his usual
poise when he writes of the Non-Par-
dsans: THE league is socialistic, I'M
patriotic, anti-American, despotic, dis
honest in its methods and lives only be-
cause OF the totally blind prejudice and
ignorance Of the great body Of its sup
porters" It Is undeniable that the
league has made grave errors. But it
has more than $4,000 supporters in North
Dakota alone. and has numbered a ma
Jority OF the voters. To imply that such
s. body OF citizens is 1actuated by pre-
tudiee and ignorance would be reckless
even If the league had a more sinister
look tiran it has. 1t is socialistic in the
sense that it has embarked on interest
ing experiments In state socialism, but
that is hardly what Mr.. Taft means. TIC
call It 'tantfAmerican' is to echo 8
phrase that gained currency when the
league seemed lukewarm in the war.
but was uniustified even then. Mr..
Tafts' review speaks neither close nor
unbiased acquaintance with league ac-
tivitfes. He refers to one league candi-
date, for example, as "a political pro-
fessor named Ladd-" DR.. e. F. Laid.
who holds an honorary degree from an
eastern university, who was early in his
career chief chemist ,oc the New York
experiment station, ana who was pres
ident of the North Dakota agricultural
college and state food commissioner be-
fore the days of the league. Is IN high
esteem among agricultural scientists.
His accomplishments for northwestern
Farmers have been almoat invaluable.
But Mr.. Tafts tone Is that of too many
harsh eastern critics of tho league.

Campaigning In the '4os.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Back in the early days Of the re-
pubic, so and more years ago. it was
considered fine idea to decorate let
ter paper with the portraits of presi-
Dental candidates. In this way the let
ter writer showed not only his prefer
ence hut tried to influence his CORE
spnsTdents for his candidate. A fine ex-
ample 'of this sort Of political propa-
saaliA was unearthed recently in New
York. 1t dates back to 1910, when Will
liam Henry Harrison was running for
president on the whig ticket against
Martin Van Buren,, democrat.
The letter head shows the two sides
OF the gold medal awarded by congress
TO General Harrison for his services In
the war of 1872. The picture to the
left shows medallion portrait of Gen
eral Harrison, while the one at the
right depicts the Goddess Of Liberty,
armed with a spear, placing a wreath
Of laurel on an Indian tepee. This lat
ter was intended as a compliment to
the general for his success in fighting
against the British and Indians.
Under the pictures of the two sides
OF the medal is a copy of the resolution
of congress comforting the medals ON
General Harrison and Isaac Shelby" late
governor of Kentuck." The letter head
is neatly engraved.

EATONIC Users
DO This-Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, nl.-Thousands Of reports
from people all over the q. S. who
have tested Eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for a
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Batonic users know that it stops
Be1ching, Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Miseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using Eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time, for Eatonic takes up the
excess acidity and poisons and carries
them out Of the body and Of course
when it is all removed, the sufferer gets
well, feels fne-full Of life and pep.
If you have been taking an Eatonic
now and then, be sure and take it regu-
larly for time and obtain all Of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this, so that he can
tell others that need this help. Adv.

Proffteers In Anthracite.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

Just why the representative of the
anthracite operators before the anthra-
cite mine commission at Scranton
should object to the introduction of evil
dence as to the profits OF the mining
companies will not be altogether clear 10
those who imagine that it is the func-
ton of the commission to fix the wage
scale of the miners upon a basis which
bears fair relation to the costs Of pro-
duction. To assume, as would appear
to have been the contention of Mr..
Warrener, that the commission could
only concern itself with such simple
questions as to the cost of living and
what constitutes living wage for the
mine workers would be to narrow the
inquiry beyond all reason and to leave
out of consideration the third party to
the controversy which the commission
was called into existence to settle.
Surely the public has some rights
which operators and miners are bound
to respect; and the profits of the oper-
ators bear quite as directly upon the
price of coal to the consumers as to the
ability of the operators to pay more
wages to the miners. Perhaps it is
true that. the consumers and the price
OF coal were not specified in the agree
ment to refer the wage dispute to the
commission, but they can no more be
excluded as determining factors in the
question at issue than could the specific
items in the formal demands of the
miners. II it be true that the opera
tors profits have reached anything like
the percentages set forth in the state
ment Of the consulting economist and
statisdcian of the miners union, then
the facts ought to be made known to
the public to the end that the consumers
may for once be projected. If these
enormous profits have been made out of
the anthracite industry, then there is
absolutely no justification for the pres
ent prices, and certainly no justifica
ton for another advance on top of that
already made in anticipation of the
pending wage increase.

Pt|.E! IN NE| ! DOOR, Q
Record Harvest Predicted tor
Canada

AFTER having made 4 a careful sur.
&vey of the wheat producing area Of
the United States, experts whose busi-
ness 1t is to keep, the people Informed
on the acreage s0wn to foodstuffs
state that this year there win sbc o
falling off in the wheat production In
the Suites, due to considerably less
area cultivated. The opinion Of these
experts is that the decrease will be
several hundred million bushels Of
wheat less than in previous years,
which according to past experience
will be scarcely sufficient to meet the
requirements Of the demands Of the
people Of this country.
In Canada, however, the situation
is different. Reliable reports on the
crop situation throughout !, Western
Canada are such as to create the most
substantial optimism. Never before
We're the prospects SO encouraging for
a bumper harvest. 1t Is predicted
that the yield this year will be even
greater than in 1915, the year OF the
record harvest in Canada, when the
total production was 393, $40, 600
bushels. Not only is the wheat looking
excellent, but the same is true Of oats,
barley and fax, of which greatly
increased acreage has been sown in
the great grain producing provinces Of
Canada.
The rains that have fallen recently
have come ct the right time to stimu
late growth and there is now consider
able moisture IN the ground. With
the world generally facing shortage
of wheat and continued heavy de-
mand for it, the price is likely to be
maintained al the present high figure.
In many districts corn has been more
extensively planted than in previous
years and it is looking remarkably
well. Many settlers from the United
States who came to Western Canada
and bought improved farms in the
emily spring have every prospect of
a crop yield that will give them re-
turn sufficiently large, after paying
all current expenses, to pay off large
part of their capital investment.
Livestock is in excellent condition
everywhere. the rains having induced
q good growth Of grass.-Advertise-
