MOVEMENT FOR FARMER
OWNED GRAIN ELEVATORS

Chicago, June 25.--Direct selling of
grain by Illinois farmers instead of
through the Chicago Board of Trade
is now being invested by the Illi-
nois Agricultural Association and it
is sounding sentiment in farming com.
munities OF the state. In the con.
gressionai districts where it has
broached the proposal. w. G.. Eckhart,
director of the associations grain
marketing department reports the
meetings were unanimously for it.
The Illinois Agricultural Association
is one of the strongest state farm
bureau fed.rations in the country. II
reports a membership Of $4,000 and
is operating this year on a budget
of $3.50, 900
d. o. Thompson, secretary of the
association. said in explanation of
the proposal that the association is
now holding series of meetings
through its grain marketing depart
ment in every congressional district
in the state. Their object is to con-
slider plans for improving the market
ly corn and oats.
There are now 700 farmer-owned
elevators in the state" continued the
agricultural association executive.
I'VE feel that there is decided room
for more and are encouraging their
establishment. Their advantage for
the farmer, among other things. is
that they save him the profits on
handling grain that private owned
elevators turn to private individuals.
Farmer elevators also make a
competitive market at the shipping
point, where n private owned elevator
having monopoly may set its own
price.
I'VE are considering in connection
with the farmer elevators the possihil-
ity Of a farmer owned brokerage
house FOR handling the grain. sold
through these elevators. At the pres.
ent time the farmers elevators handle
G5 to 70 per cent of the grain sold
in Illinois. In time I am convinced
they will handle 80 to 80 per cent
Of all Illinois corn and oats sold.
"A farmer brokerage house would
mean that instead of sending grain
to the terminals the farmers would be
able to sell direct to the big buyers,
TO feeders in the south. and to the
export trade.
This would cut down farmers
transportation costs and tend To elm
mate the speculative element in grain.

Editorial
of the Day
THE DULUTH OUTRAGE

From St. Paul, Mimi, Dispatch
There is the same sickening ola
story in the case of Duluth as in the
case of nearly every other American
community, north or south, where
similar provocation has been afford
ed-ra revolving crime, usually of sex,
committed by blacks against whites,
a mob of whites comprised Of per
sons gone mad with wrath and blood
lust, the capture Of the quarry, a
mob execution and a dramatic res
cue" by the organized power of the
law several hours after the mob has
leisurely dispersed having achieved its
full purpose.
In such instances, of course,
nothing can be said or should be SAID
in behalf of the beasts who are guilty
of sex crimes. 1t may be stated part
" in explanation of their existence
however. that they are repeated
reminder of our inability TO handle
successfully the negro problem. Ne
groes involved in these crimes usually
have behind them no education, no
training of the higher instincts ana
powers Of man, nothing but ignor-
ance, irresponsibility and a heritage
of ancestry not far remvoed from the
naked jungle savage.
Conceding the provocation of lynch
parties, nothing can be said, on the
other hand, in extenuation of their
acts. They too in the heat of their
passion, have become not reasoning
men but mad beasts. The mock trial
held in the Duluth Jail is indicauyc
of their state of mind and feeling.
Nobody but mad men would makc
such a farcical pretense of organized
justice. But the fact that they went
through the form of trial indicates
either that they desired to appeasc
in their own minds a sense of guilt
or that they were moved by an ao-
which only the passion of the mo-
ment enabled them to take seriously.
After long rebuking southern COM
munities for such demonstrations we
of the north awake TO a situation
which fills us with chargin-namely,
that while southern authorities, as H.
Illustrated recently at Lexington, Ken
lucky, are beginning to master both
the courage and tactics to defena
the law in its course even at the
cost of white lives, the northern mob,
given similar provocation, is no less
frantic and relentless, while the north
ern authorities of the law are as
helpless, being less experienced, an
were ever those of the south.

HONEST STATEMENTS

Ii is lust as essential that candidates
for office. through their campaign
managers and publicity representa-
tives. give straight dope to the public
press as II is that the managing Of
ficers Of bapks give you the real
status Of the affairs of those institu-
tions, financially.
Rum and disaster comes to the busi-
ness concern, banking or mercantile,
which puts out false statements IN
effort to gain the good will Of the
people, and the same may reasonably
be expected by those who hand out
an unreliable brand of publicity to
the managing editors of the daily and
weekly newspapers.
The newspaper in such cases is the
agent which has to bear the brunt,
which is made to suffer, for the aver
age reader glancing through the col
umns of a paper, naturally assumes
that any mis-statement he finds there
in has been Intentionally published.
As rule such mis-statements are
to be found in political dope and in the
publicity" sent out by the fellows
who are trying 10 get by with free
advertising under the guise of news
stories.
Speeches, which have never been
delivered, but which have been printed
into the Congressional Record. by re-
quest. and mailed out at the expense
of the taxpayers. furnish another line
of unreliable ormation-statements, in
most instances, made without thought
or idea of truth.
Truth will ever win in the end. IL
may be driven back for a time and all
but put to route, but ultimately 1t
will bob up as the winner, and the
man, in business or politics, who ad-
heres closely to the truth in all
things, will ride in the end, to sue

TAR WILL STOCK

II would be both wrong and ridicu
lous TO attempt to say anything
against either Harding or Coolidge as
men who are pure Americans. with
high ideals and beliefs
With all its blunders and with all
its issue-dodgers the republican con.
vention managed to name men for the
most honorable offices in the nation,
who, have clean records and who
have proven themselves to be men Of
ability and worth.
But the republican party in making
the selection did not fail to see to it
that the men named should be of
the stand-pat brand of republcanism,
the brand which is ever found with
the party, right or wrong. This being
the case II becomes necessary for the
voters to look over the heads Of
Messrs Harding & Coolidge, the firm
representing the republican corpora
tion, and investigate the party princi
of the government will seek to carry
out and with which their system
Of government will become imbued.
should they be elected.
Harding. as the chief, will neces-
sarily have the greatest say. His
voice will be the loudest and carry
the farthest in the affairs of the
country's government. And, if elected
he will be the man who is empow
cred to hand out an administration ac-
cording to the demands of the party
10 which he belongs.
Harding may be good man. he
may be an honest, honorable. upright,
fairminded man, but Harding is a
republican, stalwart OF the stall
warts named by the stalwarts be.
cause they knew he would be found,
ever and always, loyal to the cause
of the stalwarts. And Coolidge, laying
claims to all that Harding may pos
sibly claim as an honest and clean
man, was tarred with the same stick
with which Harding was tarred by the
nominating convention.
1t. therefore. behooves the demo-
Gratis to embody all the principles of
a true democracy in the party plat.
form so that it may name good men,
honest men, upright men 10 oppose
the republican candidates and have
platform upon which they may stand,
platform which will declare for the
people, a platform which will be built
of strong materials, put together with
honest workmanship.
