GOING TO MARION TO CONFER
WITH HARDING.

The situation brought about by the
decline in the prices of farm products
Drought the officers OF the Grange to
Washington for a general talk on
agricultural policies. particularly as it
will affect tho Harding Administra-
tion. Several OF the officers are leav-
.ng for Marion this week to discuss
agriculture with Mr. Harding. They
have read the reports that HenrT' g.
Wallace OF Iowa ha1 been selected
for Secretary of Agriculture. but
would offer no comment.
1t is said that they have men OF
their own to propose 10 Mr. Harding
who have had more experience as
practical farmers than MIR. Wallace,
but one Of the group indicated that
while Mr.. Wallace may not have
been a farmer as long as they thought
necessary, nevertheless he had been
on the farm more years than the ,ap-
.pointees Of the past. Here is the kind
of a Secretary of Agriculture the Ma
tional Grange wants:
"A practical farmer who should be
not only in sympathy with farmers
but so identified by ideas. vocation
and effort that farmers will recognize
him as one OF themselves; the head of
the department must be a man
around whom agricultural interests
and workers will rally with con-
fidence in his leadership"
There's another thing the Grange
wants from President Hardings Sec
retary Of Agriculture--a cost account
ing. system that will tell the people
of the city convincingly about the
costs Of the farm. Other things af-
fecting agriculture to be discussed at
Marion include a permanent tariff.
Some OF the members of the Grange
look askance at the emergency"
character OF the present tariff pro-
posals. Some Of the duties are re-
garded as too high and as likely to
invite retaliatory tariff wars, while
other schedules are considered far
too low

WASHINGTON, Dec. % Copyright,
1890 six practical farmers, mem
bers of the Executive Committee Of
the National Grange, sat down to
luncheon here and. reverting for the
moment to the days Of barter they
figured out the, decline in the prices
Of farm products in terms Of dollar
meal.
S. J. Lowell, President OF the Ma
tional Grange, said II cost him four
bushels Of apples 20 get the dollar to
pay for his luncheon. During the
war II would have cost him only
peck Of apples.
W. II. Thompson Of the Maine
Grange In effect had TO pay a bushei
and a half OF potatoes instead Of a
peck, which was the equivalent Of a
dollar a year ago.
Leslie r. Smith Of Massachusetts
had to offer two bushels OF onions as
contrasted with the war equivalent
OF a peck OF onions.
Charles W. Holman OF Texas could
have bought his luncheon for two
pounds Of cotton in war times. but
now he had to contribute eleven
pounds Of cotton for the dollar
Professor T. c. Atkeson of West
Virginia insisted that there had been
little change on wheat. for while his
meal cost him a half bushel of wheat
he would have paid slightly less than
that a year ago.
A. NJ. LOomis, Secretary OF the Ma
tional Grange, had TO pay four pounds
OF cheese whereas heretofore the same
dollar meal would have been pur-
chased for two and a half pounds of
cheese.

TRADE UNION
PHILOSOPHY
Well Expressed By Bakers
in National Convention

Chicago-In their report to the
convention of the Bakery and Con-
fectionery Workers international
Union, the executives of this organiza-
ton present this fine statement on
trade union philosophy;
"The trade union movement can
not set any hard and fast lines for
itself. 1t has to reckon with the
workers as they are and not as it
would wish them to be. The growth
and expansion of the trade union
movements are apace with the growth
and advancement of the wage earners
themselves, and the cooperation of
the wage workers in a given indus
try must come through natural, or
derly and well-defned course as a re-
sut of necessity and experience.
ANY propaganda aiming at the de-
struction of movement which has
taken generations to build up is fall
lacious, injurious and reactionary
W do not venture to say the A. +.
of L. represents the fnality in the evo-
luton of unionism-no more so than
anything else in the course of human
progress ever represents finality-
but we do maintain that through the
trade union movement, properly con-
Quoted, we can secure the complete
fulfllment of our desires and aspir-
ations."

/ SYNDICATE PRESIDENT

If by any miscarriage of suffrage,
Senator Harding should be successful
at the polls, who would be president
of the United States?
The senator and the dominant
group in the senate" that nominated
him have repudiated what they call
q "one-man" presidency, provided by
the constitution The candidate has
even announced that he intends to
raake the vice president member of
his cabinet, for which there is no pro-
vision whatever in the constitution.
The presidency is to be run by syn
dlcate; everybody-that is, everybody
in the senatorial syndicate-is to have
soothing to say.
There is no question about who will
he president if Governor Cox shall be
elected. The president in name and in
feet will be James NJ. Cox. If Senator
Harding shall be elected the presi-
dent in name will be Warren G. Hard
ing, but board of directors compos-

THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED.

From all over the country without
contradiction, comes the statement that
the railway owners are pleased with
what the government has done for
them. They may be. Fifteen hun
dred millions year added in one
lump, with the assurance that in spite
of all past crimes and misdemeanors
hey will make at least six per cent
IS not so bad for a lot of concerns
that could not run themselves and
we're practically bankrupt. 1t is un-
d~rstood, furthermore, that if there is
anything the railroads want that they
haven't had, they must not hesitate
to ask for it. When you begin to pay
new freight rates, Communication rates
and regular ticket rates, you will real
re that there is no reason why rail
roads should not be happy, as long as
the public pocket is there-Arthur

Someone has let the gas out of the

Senator Harding did it with his little
inte view at Marion last week when
10 hold the political support Of Sen
ators Borah and Johnson he finally
and this time it is believed, irrevoc-
ably scrapped the League Of Nations
Friends Of the league within the
party had hoped against hope that
Senator Harding would sooner or la
ter agree to accept the present COW
tnant with such reservations as might
be deemed necessary TO reconcile the
major republican thought But sena-
tor Harding had to choose between
8orah and Johnson on one side and
The friends of a League of Nations on
the other He feared the chief noise
naking senators of the west and he
fgured that loyalty to the party would
prevent republican friends of the
league from boiling.
IN some respects he figured rightly,
Nr Taft could be no bolter. His
party regularity has been put to the
.est on more than one occasion, and
Ire never wavered, not once. He de-
voted the past four years of his life
II behalf Of movement to make
siends for league of nations. When
MIR. Wilson returned from Europe with
the covenant written and agreed to by
ihe leading statesmen of the world,
Mr.. Taft organized party of leading
national characters, and they went
through the country to cinch public
sentiment in behalf Of its acceptance
by this country. Recently Mr.. Taft
completed lecture tour in which he
explained the senate reservations and
showed how unnecessary they all ap-
peared to be. Senator Harding finally
put it up to Mr.. Taft to choose be-
tween party loyalty and devotion to
principle. He chose with his custom
arv habit, the former.
But there are other leading repub-
leans, men who put the honor of their
country above loyalty to their party
end they refuse to repudiate the
] eague Of Nations, not even if il
would keep Borah and Johnson in good
lmor. 1t is too great a price to pay
to save the party and too little to re-
rudiate the country's honor.

road was built it meant that his COM
rany would greatly enlarge its plant.
lie said, as it was, that it was difficult
t3 secure labor for the plant for the
reason that it was hard for the work

Lad roads, the one on the west side OF

Coke Otto. He said that the traction
ears were an uncertain quantity, that
The men often came late and some
times didn't get there at all. Where
if the new road were built that the
distance would be so much shortened
that the men could walk back and
forth if the traction cars failed them.
Then another thing, if good road IS

The recommendation was maoe by James Reilly. of the International Coast wise Longshoresmens Association; T. 5. Healy of the marine workers union of New York, and Frank Roland of Jersey City. who spoke for striking railroad employees of New York and other cities.
 While the commission was hearing the representatives of the strikers and grap- bling with freight congestion and coal shortage problems generally, J. D. A. Morrow, vice president of the National Coal Association, issued a statement pro- testing against any embargo on coal ex- ports.
 MT Morrow placed the responsibility for the existing coal shortages, said to be especially acute in New Englapd on the commission An embargo on exports, which government officials have been dis cusing he asserted. was wrong in prin- cipal and would not cure the present difficulty" The only remedy. he added, is furnishing of more cars to the mines.
