A MENACrNG FACT

From one point Of view, the
fact that the average value Of all
farms in the United States is $12,-
985, an increase from $6,444 in
1910, is subject for congratulation.
It shows that farmers have been
prospecting, the thoughtless might
conclude. In six states the average
value per farm is over $4,000,
standing at $39,942 in Iowa.
But there is another side to the
picture. Farm values have increas-
ed, but mortgages have increased
in even greater ratio. Prices Of
farm products + far lower today,
compared with the value Of farm
land, than they were in 1910.
Farmers, therefore, on the pres
emit calue Of their land, make less
by actual work ON the farm than
they did 10 years ago.
In q way, therefore, this vast
increase in farm land value is the
greatest menace that confronts
America today. It is making for an
American peasant class, for that is
essentially what farm tenants are.
Farmers who bought their land
years ago, and still hold it, are in
clover. They can sell, and make big
money. But what farmer can buy
at present land values and make
even a living? And how can an
energetic, intelligent but impecuni-
GUS young man go into farming in
Iowa, for instance, where the av-
erage farm costs 100000, with corn
around so cents and hogs not over
50 on the farm?
Present prices of land tend to-
ward landlordism, and no greater
evil a come upon a nation than
this. To the extent that specula-
tion in land values pays and actual
farming does not pay, American
farming is being ruined. And when
American farmers cease to be a.
class of free owners, and become
tenants and renters, Americas
greatness as a nation will be as
dead as Greece and Rome. - Ex-
change.

In MemOriam

At Seattle, Washington, on July LIST,
occurred the death Of Rebecca, wife of
j. w. Eaton. The Eatons were resi-
dents Of Devils Lake, and had gone to
Seattle a week previously to place
Mrs. Eaton under the care of a special
list. After an, operation, Mrs. Eaton
apparently rallied favorably, and hop
es ere cherished of q speedy recovery.
On the eighth day there was a. sudden
turn for the worse; which was most
difficult to explain5 resulting Ii death.
The deceased was born in England
fifty years ago, coming to this coun-
try at the time of her marriage to
Mr.. Eaton in 1907. In various church
and social activities, she found much
for her capable hands to do being
most generous with her material and
personal help, never sparing herself
to make a success of everything she
attempted. Hers was a very strong
sense of honesty and uprightness; and
a a friend she vas loyalty itself to
all who showed her love and consider
alton. Those who saw and talked with
her shortly before he left this city,
find it hard to realize that one of such
vital personality has passed beyond
deaths portal. To Mr.. Eaton we find
words inadequate to express our un-
derstanding and sympathy in proper
ton to his loss.

back to Salida and later DR.. William
Mayo made special trip here to ex'
anime him. DIR. Mayo studied the
case thoroly for several days ano
then told Dr. Cochems that he be.
lieved his diagnosis was correct.
A surgical operation was decided
upon and DIR. Halstead, prominent
Chicago surgeon and brother-in-law
of Cochems, came to Salida to per-
form it, assisted by DR.. T. L. A.
Shaffer.
Almost the first incision of the
knife revealed that Attorney Cochems
was afflicted with cancer of an in
durable nature and that death was
but matter of few weeks. Then
it was that Attorney Cochems was
told that his case was hopeless. He
expressed the wish to die in Salida,
where he had spent his summer va
cations while young man.
DIR. Cochems is survived by his
mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Cochems of
Sturgeon Bay, Wis, six brothers and
three sisters. The brothers are DIR.
F. M. Cochems of Salida, Arnold Co.
chems of California, William Cochems
of Sturgeon Bay, Mathew Cochems of
Idaho, Carl Cochems, grand opera
singer of New York, and Edward Co.
chems an attorney of New York. The
sisters are Mrs. A. E. Halstead, wife
of Chicago surgeon; Mrs. Henry
Hahn of Florida, and Miss Belle Co.
chems of Sturgeon Bay.
Attorney Cochems was one of the
counsel for Congressman Victor Ber-
ger, who was tried during the war on
charges of disloyalty to the United
States, Berger defeated Cochems for
congress, but this did not deter the
Milwaukee lawyer from acting as his
counsel in one of the most important
trials in the United States during the
past decade faU
Attorney Cochems was standing
near Colonel Roosevelt when the lat
ter was shot by an assassin at Mil

HENRY FORD WILL PLAY
POLITICS THIS YEAR

Iron Mountain, Mich, Sept. 28.-
Henry Ford today announced that he
was ready to start drive to clean
up politics.
Ford, who is here inspec ting some
of his property, issued statement
saying he would carry on country
wide campaign, if necessary. to
cleanse politics.
The manufacturer said he issued
his statement to emphasize the tele-
gram he sent to the senate Monday
demanding that the upper house
"clean its own skirts" in handling the
Newberry case.
Ford, in his statement, declared he
would go into the state of every sem
ator who voted for "whitewash" of
men accused of political corruption
in using money to obtain their seats
in the senate and "carry the issue to
the people" tH1
He said he believed the people
themselves will take care of the sit
uation in other states where there is
evidence of the illegal use of money
in connection with senatorial cleo
tions.
"The issue, not the parties involved,
is what is prompting me to make this
fight" said Ford. Il have not the
slightest i'll will towards Mr.. New
berry, but this issue rises above all
personal considerations Free gov
ernment cannot survive the wholesale
corruption of the electorate.
1--WE have proved before the senate
that over a quarter of million was
expended by Mr.. Newberry and his
associates to buy the election in
Michigan"

DIR. F. NJ. COCHEMS LOSES
BROTHER IN SALIDA

Salida, Cold,Sept. 24.-Henry F.
Cochems, 46 years old, prominent at
torney, orator and author, of Milwau-
kee, personal friend and savior of the
late Theodore Roosevelt and brother
of DIR. F. M. Cochems of Salida, died
at the Red Cross hospital here Fri
day afternoon from cancer of the
stomach
Henry F. Cochems was one of the
most prominent men in Wisconsin,
where he was born at Sturgeon Bay
and where he practiced law from the
time of his graduation from the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and from Har-
ward. He was a noted athlete in his
Wisconsin university days, and in
1899 was selected as star halfback for
the All-American football team.
Cochems had most wonderful phys
ique and passed the Sargent physical
strength test during his university
days. He did not participate in ath-
letics while at Harvard because he
was charged with having taken part
in professional events uoi'sern alf'
Attorney Cochems denied the
charge, but did not make fight, be-
cause he wanted to devote his entire
time to the study of law and gradu-
ate from tho Harvard law school in
tho shortest possible time, which he
succeeded in doing.
After receiving his degree at Har-
ward, Cochems returned to Milwaukee
and soon became assistant prosecut-
ing attorney there. While student
at the University Of Wisconsin, in
1896. Cochems wrote a political text
book entitled money. What Is IT."
The Republican national committee
used this text book extensively dur
ing the presidential campaign of that
year.
Attorney Cochems was Progress
sive Republican and when Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt bolted the Republican
party and became a candidate for
president on the Bull Moose ticket,
he followed the strenuous leader into
the new organization and became his
political manager in Wisconsin. At
torney Cochems nominated u. S. Sem
ator LaFollette for president at the
Republican convention in 1908.
Three months ago Cochems started
for Constantinople on legal business.
He was stricken on the train and
forced to get off at Buffalo. N. Y
where physicians diagnosed his case
ss a nervous breakdown. Attorney
Cochems came to Salida to spend the
summer with his brother. DIR. Co
chems disagreed with the diagnosis
made by the Buffalo physicians and
suspected the cause of his brothers
affection to be cancer. and at once
took him to the Mayo Brothers at
Rochester, MINI. At Rochester, At
torney Cochems' illness was again di-
agnosed as a nervous breakdown. Still
not satisfied, DIR. Cochems took his
brother to famous Chicago special
ist. who also said the Milwaukee law
yer was suffering from a nervous
breakdown ., t--. ..
Then DR.. Cochems brought his
brother to Denver, where the most
prominent doctors were asked to pass
upon the symptoms. They. like the
Rochester and Chicago surgeons, said
Attorney Cochems was suffering from
n nervous breakdown.
