When a touch of frost creeps in
And the north winds roaring bugles

When the long. gray evenings
gather down
From the hills that shadow the
walled-in town;
When the dripping caves in bleak
refrain
Chant the wall of a winters rain,
o wheye is the poet left to sing
The song of dream in the Land of
Spring?
The song of dream that may COM
pare
To a pipe-a book-and an easy
chair?
When the wild blasts howl and the
shadows fit
over the wall where the fire is lit:
When the snow drifts deep or the
driving rain
Sings its song at the window-pane;
Where the dim world lies in the pit
of night,
As the gray ghosts shrek in the
mad gales flight.
o where is the poet left to praise
The gleam and dream of the sum
mer ways?
The gieam and dream that may
compare
To a pipe-a book-and an easy

The Greatest Achievement.
which do you consider the great
est achievement" writes a Western
fan-"Babe Ruth's fifty-four home
runs in one year or Ty Cobb's feat
in leading the league twelve out of

From the viewpoint of spectacu-
larity, or abnormality-as you might
say-Ruth did the more astounding
thing.
But we have always been in
clined to give greater credit to the
record made over the long route.
Ruth has now known two years
of fame and magic. Cobb for twelve
out of thirteen years led the parade
something that Wagner, Delehan-
ty. Keller and Lajoie could not even
approach.
Yet Cobb, as great a drawing card
as he was, never came close to
Ruth's turnstile lure this last year.

BREAKING THE LEAGUE
OF NATIONS.

The league of nations is in ses-
sion now at Geneva, Switzerland and
early in their deliberations when
they were considering the matter Of
whether they should admit Germany
into the league If she applied for it.,
France said that If Germany was adj
mitted to the league, France would
walk out.
While the league was being drafted
Italy said the same thing about a
matter connected with Fiume. The
Italian representatives were packing
up to leave for home when the con-
vention gave in and maintained peace
by humoring the Italians. After all
there is great deal of human ma
ture cropping out in the league of
nations and considerable bluffing still
exists in the world. These nations
are not co different from the chill
der playing together and when one
Of the girls sets angry and threatens
t. take me- doll rags and go home,
she is exercising exactly the sane
spirit tina. Italy showed when she
threatened to go home and which
France showed when she threatened
t. walk cut.

BOOZE QUESTION LIKE
SLAVERY.

Some interesting litigation has
grown out of the subject of the rights
of the owners to ship liquor from
one place to another. The supreme
court of the United States has just
rendered decision to the effect that
liquor is property, and that being
property it is owned by somebody,
and If that somebody wants to move
it from one place to another, he has
the right to do so, therefore people
have the right to ship liquor. This
litigation grew out Of the question
of what to do with fifty million gal
Ions of whiskey in bonded ware
houses. When prohibition went into
effect it was owned by various peo-
pie who held certificates of value for
the amounts invested in the liquor
and they were like the stock holders
of stock company.
The supreme court finds first, that
liquor is property, and If person is
the owner of the property, he is leg
ally it's owner, and being the legal
owner of the property it is his and
it is his right to do with it whatever
it is legal to be done with property.
II you own certificate for whiskey
in bonded warehouse, whether 1t Is
one bottle or one carload, you have
the right - move it. There is a pro-
viso in the question that you own it
and are Ike ping it for yolr personal
use. OF course If you claim tnat you,
have q bottle that you wanted to
move for your personal use, it would
be perfectly reasonable thing to
do with your property. If you had a
carload or five carloads that you
wanted to move somewhere for your
personal use it might be considered
different or it might not, according
to who is considering the question,
but in the eyes of the law there is
no one to say just where to draw
the line. You might live million
years and consume all of that car
load or the five carloads; the law is
not concerned about how long you
are going to live. OF course the prac-
tical assumption is that when you
start to move liquor you are moving
it somewhere to be sold, but so long

THE FARMERS ARE
COMING BACK.

The farmers of the United States
are coming back at the dealers and
the government for the way they
were treated during the war. The
government asked the farmers to
raise wheat and win the war. They
guaranteed them a fair price for
their products and upon such assur-
ance the farmers went along and
sowed their grain. In the meantime
the government guaranteed contrac-
tors in the ship building and the
building of cantonments that they
should have fair profit and they
took the "cost plus" plan of making
the construction work cost as much
as possible and added their ten per
cent profit to that. 1t became the
greatest graft scandal in the world.
When it came to fixing the price
# wheat the government fixed the

as you are moving 1t for your per-
s0nal use and nobody can prove the
contrary, you can keep 1t moving.
This brings to mind the bred Scott
decision of 1857 regarding slavery.
The questions at issue are almost
identical. In that case the question
was whether man owning a slave in
a slave state had the right to take
1t with him if he moved into q free
state. The supreme court decided that
slave was property and that a man
had the right to move and take his
property with him.
bred Scott was a negro owned by
an army officer in St. Louis. The
government transferred him to Illi-
nois and he took Scott with him. He
lived for several years in the free
state of Illinois and during that time
he married negro woman who was
the slave of another army officer at
the same post. The marriage was by
consent of the owners of both slaves.
They had two children born in the
free state of Illinois, and when the
army officers left their post the man
who had before that, lived in st.
Louis bought the woman and a half
interest in the two children, which
he claimed by right of the slave laws
and moved back to St. Louis, TAX
ing the four people with him. Both
of these children were born in free
state, but under the law at that time,
anyone whose ancestors or any of
their ancestors had been in slavery,
was classed as slave.
The matter was brought into the
court by the circumstances of SCOTS
master giving him a beating after
they moved back to Missouri. Scott
brought suit against him, claiming
that because of his residence in a
free state he had acquired his free
dom and charged this army officer
with assault and battery. The dis
trict court of St. Louis found the
verdict against the army officer and
in favor of the negro, but it was
carried up to the supreme court in
the state of Missouri and reversed.
Later the army officer moved to the
state of New York and another suit
was brought to test the law, this time
gong up TO the supreme court or
the United States in the year 1854.
The abolitionists were anxious to get
decision before or during the cam
paign of 1856 but the court delayed
it until after the election. The OPP
position thought best to delay the
decision until after the Inauguration
of President Buchanan, himself a
southern sympathizer. The majority
of the court were southern men or
southern sympathizers and President
Buchanan in his inaugural address
said that the question of the slavery
would soon be settled by a court de-
cision. That showed that he had ad-
vance information on how the case
would be decided. Two days later,
the decision was given to the pub
lie and it said among other things
that bred Scott and his wife and
the children, being slaves had no

price plenty low enough. The far
mers could not make money rails
ing 1t at that price; 1t was not cost
plus. Notwithstanding their disap-
pointment the farmers went along
and raised wheat until the war was
won. In the meantime the United
States grain corporation was organic
ed and 1t used the credit and the
money of the people of the United
States to buy at 2.26 which was
cost minus. Then when they had
bought up all the available wheat
or the principal part of 1t, they took
the view that 2.26 was not an alb
solute and fixed price on wheat but
it was merely a suggested price,
a minimum price, and that If supply
and demand drove the price higher,
all was we'll. Now that they had con-
troll of the bulk of the wheat in the
United States, they drove the price
about twice that high and got away
with it, coming Va st fortunes on
their investments Of the peoples
money. They robbed the farmers on
one hand and the bread eaters on
the other hand.
In the fall of 1920 there has been
q renewal of the attempt to beat
down the price of wheat to the far
mer and the farmers are sitting
back and holding their wheat for
better prices. The shoe is already be-
ginning to pinch; in several states
the mills are closing down because
they cannot get anything to grind.
Canadian wheat is still flowing in and
underselling the American wheat and
exporters are shipping wheat to
Europe and having it ground with
the chaapar labor of the old country

right that the owner was bound to
respect. He could do to any of them
whatever he chose and they had no
redress. He could take them any
where under the jurisdiction of the
United States and they would still
be his slaves.
The decision was written by
Judge fancy, but two members Of
the court, Judges Mclean and Cur
tbs, each presenting very able OPP
inion on the subject dissented the
Curtis decision being very broad and
sweeping and taken on a high plain
that showed Judge fancy to be, not
Judge but revolutionist. The nor
thern people considered his decis-
ion an act of revolution equal to
throwing the challenge to settle the
question by force of arms. A Georgia
politician celebrating the decision
said he would yet be able to count
his slaves on Bunker HILL" From
that day the underground railroad"
was operated with determination by
the northern people, spiriting slaves
thru to freedom. Nobody could tell a
free negro from a real slave and the
law was set at naught everywhere
in the north.
Under the present decision the
prohibition enforcement forces will
not be able to identify free whiskey
being shipped for personal use, from
the contraband whiskey, being ship
ped for sale in violation of the law,
and meanwhile this bonded liquor
being transported is dangerous
thing in the operation of the prohi-
bition laws. The prohibitionists will
take the view that intoxicating IL
quor is an outlaw and has no rights,
the same as the slave owners took
the view that the slave was a chat
tel and had no rights.
OF course the sentiment of the
major population of the public is
against liquor and its use in almost
any form or any circumstances. We
do not assume that there will be
any John Brown raid or selling Of
Fort Sumpter.
