CROP PROSPECTS.

Two heavy rains the last week
came at the opportune time to help
out the crop situation. The intense
heat two weeks ago was hard on the
growing crops. In places the wheat
that was pretty well advanced began
to turn white. But since the rains
came it has gone back to the original
color as it should be. There is no
question but that some of the crops
are damaged and the yield will be
lighter than it promised at one time.
After the heavy rains the weather
continued cool and it was ideal for
the heads to fill. As it stands at
the present time most of the crop is
headed out and some has been head
ed out for two weeks. By the 25th
of July harvest will have commenced
and probably cutting will be general
a week later. Much however de-
pends on sthe weather from now on,
both as to yield and the time cutting
will commence. Rust has shown it.
self to a limited degree but we do
not expect that. there will be much
damage done: pecially with the

According to newspaper reports
Mr.. Van Lear, who was defeated for
mayor in Minneapolis by about H.
600 votes a month ago, is going to
contest the election on the grounds
that his opponent having preferred
certain charges against him in his
campaign speeches. Mr.. Van Lear
had the unanimous support of the
Nonpartisan League of Minnesota,
with Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hare
thrown in and in the face of all this
aggregation he lost out. If a per-
son accepts support from persons
like Mr.. Van Lear had, and the un-
savory reputation for disloyalty he
has himself, he thinks that people
will stand by him as mayor of a
metropolitan city, he is mistaken.
Minneapolis, like this state, has
awakened to the fact that Socialism
has no foundation for anything that
is good.

Governor Frazier is going to set
aside day for the people of North
Dakota to buy bonds that the Indus
trial Commission has for. sale. These
bonds have been peddled all over the
eastern markets we are told but
have found no purchasers. The
Nonpartisan League as body ought
to buy up these bonds. It seems to
be no trouble for that organization
to raise seven million dollars. And
North Dakota bonds ought to be q
better investment than the other
League ventures, like the co-opera-
tive stores that entailed loss Of q
million dollars to the farmers, and
sundry other League ventures that
are on the rocks. Then there is Mr..
Cathro, who draws $4,000 salary
and expenses, yearly, and some Of
the other well paid officials in power,
who ought to be able to pick up
some Of these bonds that they claim
are such a wonderful investment.
Seven million dollars of bonds should
mot bother them much in disposing
'of among the faithful"

With an agreement having been
reached in conference to allow lum-
Der to remain temporarily upon the
free list, Congressman George M.
Young has won another point in his
rather occasional tilts with his col
leagues on the Committee on Ways
and Means. When Mr. Young stood
out alone among the majority mem-
bers Of the committee in opposition
to the Longworth resolution it was
whispered about the Capitol that he
was to be promptly squelched. Mr..
Young demanded party caucus and
since that event nothing more has
been heard of the Ohio congress-
mans resolution. With the entire
Minnesota delegation standing with
him to keen lumber upon the free
list he will probably continue to be
equally successful in this instance.

fact that man who has been called

should rise on the floor Of the
House to aid in perfecting a bill
that was being SO strongly opposed
by the Chicago Board Of Trade and
kindred organizations. Especially
SO in view of the fact that Mr.. BaAr
the former Representative from the
First district, and an avowed enemy
Of grain manipulators, sat in the
House for as many years as his sue

one constructive step toward correc-
ting the evil which he 50 often saw
fit to condemn.
Mr.. Burtness may never win fame

doubtless be well satisfied with his
public record if he continues to keep
his feet on the ground and his mind

SEASONAL COAL RATES

Senator Frelinghuysen's seasonal
coal rate bill provides that freight on
coal shall be lower during the spring
and summer than during the late fall
and winter. Those who have capital
viii thus be able to get their coal for
: good deal less and those who have
to count pennies and can't have re-
serve cash viii have to pay great
deal more when they have to buy.
Perhaps" says x-Congressman
Baer Of this bill. "it is not possible
to enact legislation that will help bust
ness without injuring the public. It
may be that their respective interests
are % opposed that congress can mot
bridge them. However that may be,
we have here the unsocial and danger
GUS expedient Of attempting to stim-
ulate . business by Increasing the
dimculties Of those whose burdens are
already unsupportable."

LYNCH LAW GAINING

Lynch law still holds its own, &C.
cording to statistics kept by the Tus-
kegee institute, q college for negroes
in Alabama. During the first six
months Of 1921 there were Sc, as COM
pared with IL for the same period Of
1920 and 20 for the same period of
1919.
Two were whites and "a were ne
groes. Two Of the negroes were wom-
en-. Only II Of the 81 lynched were
accused Of rape, the crime alleged to
justify lynching.
Evidence is also multiplying Of a
concerted drive to extend lynch law
to all northern states where there is
strong progressive sentiment. In
many states reactionary interests are
almost openly enrolling men in the
so-called Ku Klux Khan to harass
leaders Of opposing ideas with per-
sonal violence.
The Sisseton weekly standard. (Sisseton, Roberts County, S.D.) 1892-1929, 1921-07-22

public that the great middle class is
not biting their bait as it used to.
Why don't the rich, including Otto
Kahn, buy federal land bank bonds
and thus help the farmer and them
selves at the same time? This bank
can't get money enough to do tenth
Of the business open to it. The an
swer is financial boycott, as in the
case Of North Dakota bonds. Why
make its bond sales harder?
It is shame that some Farm Bu-
reau federation leaders are being
taken in by this anti-tax exemption
propaganda and pushing it along,
when year or two from now fair
market for government securities will
be about the only chance Of saving
agriculture. They ought to find it
more important to save agriculture
than to fight public ownership.
THE TARIFF BILL
Now that special privilege is nearly
through thumbing over the proposed
tariff bill, suggesting generous treat
ment for itself, we are likely to hear
considerably more Of it in the near
future.
Chairman Fordney, who fathers the
bill in the house, is quoted as saying:
I'VE hope and expect that it will curb
imports. He might just as we'll have
added: I'VE hope and expect that it
will curb exports"
Almost every one of our congress-
men is wise enough to know that we
can not have imports without exports
International trade over any length
of time must be barter of goods. II
we sell something to England, for in
stance, we must receive something
back. They also know that our farm
ers are badly in need Of more export
trade.
The pretense of doing something to
aid farmers under which the higher
tariff agitation was first started, has
been partly abandoned by considera-
BILE slashing of rates on farm prod
ucts. At the risk of being misunder-
stood for short time we wish to
state that this tariff bill is purely an
issue Of privilege versus people, and
that its net result will be protection
Of monopoly products from foreign
competition and still further ham,
pering of the farmers market abroad.
There is no force here capable of
moiding this bill in behalf of the
farmers. The Farm Bureau fedora
ton, even If it was not willing to COM
promise great deal for a little
farmer protection, can do nothing Sc
rious to thwart privilege working
from the outside and the Nonpartisan
league and labor have only few men
on the floor.
