AMERICA NOT SO BAD

Minneapolis Journal-Emma Gold
man, the deported anarchist, who has
now been four months in Russia, flies
the American flag in her room in Pet.
rograd, and declares that she loves
America as no other land and some
day will return.
What a change four months have
wrought! She left these shores with
bitterness in her heart and impreca-
lions on her lips for all things Amer
lean She may actually have felt that
she was trying to save America, but
she did not hesitate for twenty years
to advocate violence to change the ex-
listing order, and her d~isloyalty cul-
minated in obstructing the operation
of the seIective draft.
Now she finds hat things in Russia
are rotten, and that the MARKHAM
regime has brought only ruin and
havoc to her native land. The Boil
shevist dictatorship of Russia has,
she says, denied such freedom as one
enjoys under the American represen-
tative system, and makes one entirely
subject to the whims of "a bureau
cracy.
Exile has set Emma Goldman think
ing. has awawened in her a new ap-
nrociation of Arariaa n4bar. ,;o,;I
arly disgruntled with things American
might likewise profit by a sojourn
abroad. Travel is always educational
Things are relative, after all, and
though they may at times seem out of
joint here. in comparison with other
lands America Is still the home of
unequalled freedom and opportunity.
III Emma Goldman ever returns to
America. she will bring new appre-
ication and loyalty. It is significant
that her reflections should confirm
the convictions reached by John
Spargo, who was wise enough to sus-
pect his Owl doctrines OF socialism
before he was caught in their coils.
Mr. Spargo says he would rather be
hungry in any capitalist nation he
knows than to be ever SO we'll fed in a
servile Utopia, and Emma Goldman
says amen and amen But peoule are
not well fed or well clothed In Social
let Russia. nor do they enjoy the lib
erty their blood has bought.

Omitted Press Correspondent
Washington. Jan. 27.-The BIZ
partisan treaty conference adjourned
today, after a two-hour session, leav-
ing the whole treaty situation as
much in the air as ever expected.
Final breaking off of discussion did
not occur and another discussion is
being set for Thursday.
Meantime, the republican mild re-
servationists had practically worked
out an agreement with the demo-
Gratis to throw the treaty into an
open debate in the senate in an effort
to thresh out compromise on reser-
vations which can obtain Ga votes,
necessary for ratification.
This coalition will act as soon as
the breaking off of the bi-partisans
with Senator Lodge becomes a GER
tainty. This was expected to occur
today. Democrats were expected to
say to Lodge today that they can
not continue conferences on his
terms

Thursday, Report
By Ralph Couch

Omitted Press Correspondent
Washington, Jan. 27.-Middlemen
have accumulated vast profits during
the five months of the governments
campaign to reduce prices of neces-
stiles, Investigations of two govern
ment departments indicated today.
Since the middle of August, when
Attorney General Palmer announced
he was going after the price cough
ers, reports show that prices paid
farmers for principal crops have de-
creased from three and four-tenths
per cent to eight and seven-tenths
per cent each month, according to
the agricultural department.; and
that consumers increased continually
until they reached the highest point
in history in December, according to
the labor department.
These reports seem to indicate that
the middlemen are buying cheaper
than ever before, but are receiving
the highest prices in the history of
the country.

Der Figures

Paul H. Kirk Of Fergus Falls, Min
nesota field agent. gives the follow
ing report on state crops for the
year 1919 and Notwithstanding the
unfa vora Bile weather for total pro-
duction. the state ranks very high
in both production and yield per
acre, in seven of the principal crops
such as are grown in this state. Mr..
December report estimate Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, as follows:
In production in 1919 of spring
wheat. Minnesota ranks second, be-
ing exceeded only by North Dakota.
However, in yield, she ranks first Of
the. four important spl ing wheat
states, showing an average yield Of
17.5 bushels South DAKOTA ranks
second with IA bushels.
Minnesota ranks second in produce
tion Of flax and in yield is first
among the four important states pro-
ducing flax.
In barley. due to heavy decrease in
acreage last year, her rank Is only
third in production. In average
tie for fourth place among the more
important barley-producing states,
with an average Of 27 bushels.
In the production Of oats, rye and
pota toes, Minnesota ranks fourth,
while in the production Of corn her
rank is eighth. The average yield
per acre of corn in Minnesota for

bushels above Illinois and / S BUSH
els above South Dakota. This indi-
Gates that Minnesota is rapidly forg-
ing ahead as corn state.

and offers safe and profitable in
vcstment to those engaged In this
