Farmer Will Get No Re.
lief, Local Grain Men
Declare in Protest to
Washington.

Characterizing the announced II
per cent reduction in carload freigh
rates on farm products for the mex
six months as mere sop" official:
OF the Omaha Grain exchange yes
tcrday sent protests to four Ne
braska senator's and congressman.
The dispatch, which was sent &c
Senators G. NJ. Hitchcock and g. w
Norris and Representatives A. w
Jefferis and c. +. Reavis, and signed
by Charlie, II. Wright, president ol
the Grain exchange, follows:
No Relief to Farmer.
press reports from New York
announce railway executives have
agreed upon 10 per cent reduction
in freight rates on farm products.
As tariffs have not been filed in ac-
cordancc with the decision Of the
commission. it is to be inferred the
10 per cent reduction is substitute
for the order of the commission.
This is primarily a corn and oats
country, and the proposed reduc-
tion of 10 per cent in present rates
is not sufficient to give the farmer
any relief. The advance in rates on
corn and oats since June. 1918. has
been practically 100 per cent, while
the prices being paid to the farmer
are below pre-war prices.
"Your attention is also directed
to the fact that while 10 per cent
reduction on all farm products
shipped for a period of six months
is proposed the bulk of these COM
modities, such as wheat, cotton and
tobacco. have already moved to mar
ket, while the movement of one Of
the largest corn crops ever raised
is pending.
Nothing less than the rates or
dered by the commission, effective
November 20, will be OF any material
benefit to the farmer, and nothing
less will be satisfactory to this COM
munity, and we again respectfully
urge your assistance in bringing this
about without delay"
Original Proposal.
According to figures compiled by
grain exchange officials the reduc-
ton originally planned by the Inter-
state Commerce commission, effec-
tive November 20. is virtually % per
cent on corn and oats and IS per
cent on wheat and hay. They an
nounced they would fight to a
finish to force the railroads and
the commission to reinstate the first
proposal.

pose the enforcement of the Sherma n
|act? Why fight conviction for land
.rauds or violations of the banking
Jaws or other aristocratic offenses?
The penitentiary is likely to ruin a
poor man. 1t breaks his spirit. He
comes forth only too often an outcast
and a physical and moral wreck. He
has lost step with the world, and the
world doesn't want him. 1t won't even
give him job unless he lies about his
record. ~
But it's different with a rich man.
He generally regards. his imprison-
meft as a martyrdOm, and comes
forth proud and defiant. His friends
very often take the same view. They
welcome him back and comfort him.
His Sentence is not, SO much stigma
on, his reputation as mark of the
enmity, and jealousy of business en-
effyse' cr the demagoggTof district att
ftorney..
Al rich convict, therefore, can keep
his nerve and land scope for his talent
by playful philanthropist in prison.
That is what this man did. He found
ed prison library, he fraternized
with his less fortunate fellow prison
cially to get fresh start when they
regaiped their freedom. He had fine
time doing it, and he accomplished a
great deal of good.
Really, the more you contemplate
this matter, the stranger it seems that
rich men should try so hard to keep
cut of the penitentiary. They may
fird there mental rest, wise reflection
ard the hilanthropic opportunity of a
lifetime.

NEGRO PROGRESS.

Fifty years ago the negroes of the
United States were a propertyless, ir-
responsible race cast adrift to. shift
for themselves. They are today as a
whole far from the thrifty, intelligent
state that most whites seem to de-
mand of them, but recent census fig
ures reveal a really surprising evolu-
ton.
There are now nearly 100000 ne
groes in this country, four-fifths Of
pure negro blood. They operate 900,-
600 farms with value of about ST.
200,000,000. Nearly one-fourth of them
own their own homes. OF those over
ten years Of age seven, out Of every
ten are engaged in gainful occupation
There are 100000 of them belonging
to church organizations.
Fifty years is short time in the
evolution of race. Few students of
history and authropology would have
expected such general forward move
ment as the negroes have actually
shown since the war. Few would have
expected such brilliant individuals as
now appear in many branches of In
tellectual work and race leadership.
The negro politically has been dis
appointment, though he improved
greatly with education. Economically
he has done well, and is continually
doing better. With two or three hun
dred years of freedom. they may make
a very respectable place for them
selves in history.
