AN OPEN

If there was reason for secrecy at the Yer
sailles conference, there is assuredly none for
it at the Washington conference. There is every
reason in the world for the fullest publicity, not
only of all the conclusions but of the proceed
ings by which they are arrived at.
This disarmament conference is, to q far
greater extent than was the Versailles gathering,
a conference of peoples. Peace after the World
War had to be made by governments. States
men proceeded automatically to make peace.
1t was largely a legal matter, with vast COM
plications calling for expert knowledge. The
people trusted, of necessity, to the men who
had represented them in conducting the war.
Now it is different.
Disarmament is a demand not of governments,
not of statesmen, but of nations. 1t Is a de-
mand of bereaved families and of taxpayers
The spokesman of the five major powers who
will control the conference will be representing
their public at home to a far greater extent
than usual, and will be answerable accordingly.
The people know what they want in the settle
ment of other questions that have a bearing
on armament.
The people of the United States are especially
interested in seeing that the mandate they have
given is not evaded through diplomatic mud
ding or trickery on the part of any statesmen
or group of statesmen that may come to WASH
ington. To this end. the public will want to
know all about the proceedings, from start to
finish. 1t is their right, and it Is for the interest
of mankind. 1t will serve both as a check on
the conference and as instruction to the unin-
formed. Never has there been so good an
for useful publicity.

the fact that 80 per cent. of the Russian people
are peasants who want to live on a capitalistic
basis. the end of sovietism in its present evil
state is at hand, and a government adjusted to
meet these conditions will emerge before long.
Mr.. France wants the American people to
"give these folks a chance-they haven't had
it yet"
This is doubtless true. AT least, 80 per cent
Of 1t is true. for The Russian peasant so far
certainly hasn't had a chance. The Hoover
relief agencies will give MIN his best chance
for the present. They will feed the starving
children, and thus give him a little courage to
keep on demanding some sane method of getting
and keeping the just reward for his labor.

THE HAND =

Jim James was sick for many
moons, and had to soak his silver
spoons to purchase beeswex pills;
the wolf was neighing at his door,
and he was weak and sick and sore
and shy of dohar bills. And so it
dlled my heart with glee to calls
at times and leave a VITO help old
Tim along; this way of aiding luck
less men appeals to me a lot, but
then some fellows say it's wrong.
The drivesmiths daily seek my door
TO ask. for bones and then some
more, to help some distant cause;
the starving Bedouin's lost his
+ flock the Eskimo his socks. and /
am Santa Claus. And 1 confess, with
little shame, that I detest the 'driv-
Ing" game and hold it most unfair;
and I'll discourage while l live the
folks who tell me what to give, and
how, and when, and where. When
there's another drive in town 1 some
times turn the drivesmiths down,
and knock their nervy games; for
when L have some txtra bucks I'd
rather buy some bottled nux for
chaps like old Jim James. I'd
rather help the guys I know, and
let the festive Eskimo be shy a
Sunday hat; across the alley there
is grief, and l may give some small
relief, and I'd fain stick to that. The
ccuntry's free, and those who car
to spread their largess everywhere
have every human right; but old
Jim James is pretty sick, and III
take him an ice cream brick and

THE PEASANT CAPITALIST.

Senator France of Maryland, who has been
visiting Russia, takes a stand in favor of recog-
nizing the Russian government, and has rather
q different point of view on the matter from
others who have recently brought reports from
that chaotic country.
He maintains that those at the head of the
Soviet government are "open-minded." He
SAYS.
rhe pivet Of the whole thing is this-the
revolution was not directed by them or anyone
else on lines laid down beforehand or ever
devised to meet the occasion. 1t proceeded on
an irresistible course as naturally as an ava
lanche reaches the bottom of the mountain
valley by gravity.
.Before the revolution all Russian land was
held in fee simple by the czar, nobility and the
church. Once that regime was overthrown the
land became ownerless.
All the millions of the Russian peasantry felt
that the time had come to take possession of
the soil they had titled. The Bolshevikf rode
into power on the crest Of this wave of universal
sentiment"
With the country estates seized, says Senator
France, it was logical to take urban property
also, and it was then a short step to confscation
OF banks. But here is the difficulty from the
Bolshevist point Of view:
Spy their very action in legitimatizing the
seizure of land by the peasants the Bolsheviki
laid a new and infinitely broader foundation
for the capitalism they were striving to over
throw. They see that now themselves. and are
prepared to act accordingly"
If the leaders are indeed as open-minded as
Mr.. France believes, and have at last grasped

REWARD FOR PATIENCE.

If patience and perseverance is the recipe fol-
success, the Home for the Aged campaign for
funds for the support of that institution should
be a tremendous triumph for those in charge
of the drive. Although the committee worked
untiringly, collections were small in size and
slow in coming in. The task is proving a diff
fcult one, but with such steadfastness nothing
can stand in the way of success.
The many liberal supporters to every good
cause here should support the Home for the
Aged, and in this way also reward the efforts
Of the workers in this worthy cause.

ROADS OF REMEMBRANCE
BY Frederic j. Haskin.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Instead of covering
the country with the old-fashioned idea of
monuments to the heroic American dead of the
World War, a strong movement is afoot and
gaining strength for planting memorial trees to
honor the memory of the slain. The sugges-
ton is linked up with the good roads campaign
in q way, trees being planted in hundreds OF
places along the finest highways of the nation
to make them constant reminders of the sacrl-
fees made.
The American Legion is taking a leading part
in cooperating with the American Forestry
Association in this work, Coupled with sthe

ed in the death of Andre, held even
then the character Of the latter in
high respect.
Arnold betrayed the trust and for
the sake of gain became a traitor;
Andre, who conducted the negotia-
tions, was true to the country that
employed him, and whose uniform
he wore, and for his share in the
same despicable business is held to
honor.
1t seems-a rather thin line be.
tween honor and dishonor, but It
rests on the basis of loyalty to q
trust accepted.
And SO, a hundred years ago to-
morrow, the government that had
hanged John Andre, exhumed his
body, gave it over to the accredited
representatives of the British gov-
ernment saw 1t safely aboard a Brit.
ish ship of war, and saluted as it
sailed ava to be buried in West

Getting ones self hanged is not a
sure way to fame, but several of
the worlds most famous people
have achieved it in that way.

1t is instructive to go back a hum
dred years, and to remember that
just that long ago James Monroe
had been president just as long as
Mr.. Harding now has been on the
job, and that prices were behaving
just as they are behaving now. Flour
had been selling at $40 to SIT a
barrel since 1917 and it fell to s.
and Sc, and all the farmers cried out
that they were ruined.
There was q lot Of unemployment
and very general complaint at re-
duction of wages. Everybody want
ed wages to keep up and the cost
of living to come down and they
both come down together.
But n of the most interesting
things that occurred a hundred
years ago was the exhuming of the
remains of Major Andre. He had
been tried by court martial by COM
mand of George Washington and

MUNICIPAL BATHING.

Realizing the benefits to be derived from a
swimming pool, Paterson is endeavoring to
secure municipal use of the big pool in the
son would be perfectly willing to pay the state
a nominal sum for the use of the pool, and also
for the water used.
This again shows what other cities are doing
to give the people all the enjoyment afforded
by a place to battle. But here in Perth Amboy,
where we have unlimited bathing facilities.
nothing is done by the city to better conditions
in this way.
The slogan is "a municipal bathing beach in
1922" Let's put 1t across.
1t isn't fair to laugh at that British prohi-
bition leader because his name is Tanks. Every
body knows what British tanks accomplished
in the war.
No doubt it will be wise for President Hard
ing to name a woman delegate to sit at the
disarmament table. A woman always has a
wholesome effect at the table.
LLOYD George may be boycotting Lord North
cliffe on the ~latter's tour of the world, but that

TO the outlook for receipts keeping up,
Manager Stone said that he expected
fair receipts, direct from the machines
as long as the price is 81 or better.
Should that figure be broken he was
in doubt as to the result He remark
ed that bidders for last half of July
deliveries were shading present prices,
evidently looking for cheaper wheat
before the month ends" They may
be mistaken in their conclusions, how
ever, as Mr.. Stone remarked.
Took In 300 Bushels
I'VE bought 800 bushels of wheat
on Thursday" said Mr.. Rosa of the
Williamsburg elevator. ''and paid 81
for So pound grain. We think farmers
are inclined to make the best of con-
ditions and will sell more or less free
ly, unless we have another drop. We
took in our first load OF wheat on
Tuesday. Frank Williams, living in
the Olive Hill section, made the first
delivery and the grain tested 81
pounds. Corn isn't suffering for rain
near Williamsburg as yet, but a little
water wouldn't hurt it any. One field
of oats is being cut today, the first

The hearing is one that has been

and agreed to by almost every state
federation, Indiana included Testi-
mony will be taken at every hearing,
from county bankers, dealers in
agricultural supplies, and others in a
position to know facts rejecting agri

CHINCH BUGS FLYING
IN SOME LOCALITIES;
NUMBER IS REDUCED

Indications that the season for the
to a close are seen in reports from
several parts of the country to the eff
feet that chinch bugs are flying and
in some places have already spread
over corn fields. Where the usual
preventive measures have been prac-
ticed and barrier lines run, the num-
Der of bugs has been materially re-
duced, and only q few adults are lefs
to infest cornfields with the second
brood, but at some points of the
county all methods followed have not
sufficed to destroy any large part Of
the bugs, and the second infestation
promises to be very severe.
Faithful use of the barrier oil and
trapping in the postholes is being
continued by farmers who started that
method of control These include
some who have just discovered bugs
within the last few days, or farmers
on places where the bugs have nol
been moving until the last day or
two, owing to having enough food in
the wheat stubbe to maintain them
until this time. In such cases, the
bugs have nearly matured before they
Slil tSu " lIOhS, IAIuo save W
portunity for trapping them. With the
use of the barrier furrow, however,
many are being killed.
Danger Period Nears End.
Oil was sent out over all the county
as soon as it arrived, and in addition,
100 gallon tanks were delivered to the
Boston and Centerville communities
Thursday. A few barrels that remain
ed were transferred to the Hoosier
Feed and Feeder company, where they
were stored for future distribution.
Although there are a few broods
still Matching in some fields, most of
the first brood has been Matched and
is at least half grown, so that in many
| places it will require only a short time
| longer TO guard against the insects.
After that time those which have not
been killed will be mature and ready
to fly, and the valuable period of their
| lives when they are crawling and may
| be trapped, will be over.
| Although there were few belated
| matches in some fields, most of the
! first brood has been Matched and is
half grown, so that in many places,
defensive measures against the in
sects will be necessary or successful
for only a short time longer.
After the bug has matured, has its
wings and is ready to fly, the barrier
furrow is of no avail against it. II
can be trapped only while it is imma-
,ture and is crawling.
