vets say, but only cracked once in
decade. Kentucky. a State about
which the Democrats are really
worrying. would lend a willing ear
to the return of light wines and
beers. 1t voted dry, but only after
the passage of constitutional prohi-
bition, and there is still an over
whelming wet sentiment there.
Pennsylvania Hopeless.
A wet plank. they contend. would
have a tremen ndous pulling power in
three Eastern States. namely: Mary
land. New Jersey and New York
The Democrats do not believe any
morsel they can hold out would be
sweet enough to bring Pennsylvania
into their column, despite. the wet
majority there. In New Jersey and
New York. however. they think that
the normally Republican majority
of only a few thousand would fol-
low the dictates of personal liberty
and a liberal platform.
The efficiency of anti-prohibitior
bait in the States of Illinois and
Ohio is also counted upon by the
vets to brng these two common.
wealths into the Democratic camp.
Basing their calculations upor
the support of the solid South, with
New York, New Jersey, Maryland
Ohio, Illinois and kentucky, It is
the argument of the vets that the
Democratic party cannot afford t.
overlook such an opportunity and
that a ticket and platform pleasing
to the labor interests would turn
the gloomy outlook now confront
ing the party into the brightest OF
prospects.

time is, Shall the constitutional

No party should sidcstep this issue.
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court makes it clear that If pro-

The "wets" base their main hope
of defeating the program set forth
by Mr.. Wheeler upon political ex-
pedfency, and their fight will be
not so much among the delegates

think that they can make the con-

WHERE CHAOS RULES.

In foreign lands where Chaos
reigns and rules in other
kings domains, :no peaceful
livelihood is known and few
have joys to call their own.
With food as scarce as beetles
hair and prices flying here and
there, I'd humbly venture to
assert that many appetites
must hurt.
With money values growing less,
and fast approaching nothineness,
folks had il pretty tough today
where Chaos holds the ruling sway.
In foreign lands where divers
kings have lived and reigncd and
had their filings, King Chaos now
usurps the power and orders chaos
every hour.

The Senator left no doubt, how

THE FARMERS WORST ENEMY

Waste is perhaps the American
farmers worst enemy. He himself
Is no wastrel, but, without knowing
Il, he is an insidious, persistent
waster of his own substance of his
farm machinery. Expensive as it
has become in 30 years, he has made
but little progress in housing it.
Where it lay 80 years ago in the
open on the semi-prairie Of Iowa or
Manitoba, or the real prairie Of Ne
braska or Southern Saskatchewan. it
lies today, unsheltered from the ele-
ments Of the air, and unfended
against the acids Of the earth.
To be precise, It is not the same
machinery-that long ago fell to
pieces, not from old age as the dea-
cons one-horse shay. but from youth
full neglect. Three or four. as many
as six crops of maehinry have re-
placed it, The last machinery crop
now rots into the soil Says the
National Bank of New Jersey: "The
annual depreciation of farm ma
chinery amounts to over $12,500, 900"
At New Brunswick, the National
Bank of New Jersey is in the very
heart of that states great farm
garden. Manufacturing there en-
croaches on production, and has
made farming more a matter of local
service. Yet, with its large areas Of
neglected, or at least uncultivated
land, within 80 miles Of New York,
a great farming revival along the
Raritan and Delaware is not unim-
aginable, It is possible and even
probable.
Despite the states 70-year railroad
facilities, its 200-year-old settlements.
the bank can find abundant local
color for its warning. If so. what
must be said of the less developed
less informed farmers of the West,
too many of whom hardly know the
difference between anarchy and So
cialism and common sense? Have
they been told the S12,O0,O00 is the
smalled part Of the yearly loss? Do
they know compulsory replacing Of
implements at the wrong time in the
machinery market, crop reductions
through broken down and rusted out
tools, and the accompanying loss Of
time, combine to impose on them the
most definite and permanent and
unnecessary form Of taxation they
