pnuRING OIL ON FIRE

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Why is it that even large caliber men display weakness and pour oil on smouldering dirt piles to make them blaze? Is human nature so consti- tuted that it requires this sort of stuff as sedative to our nerves?
 Now comes George B. Ward, well known and likable man with a statement in today's issue of your paper which can have but one re- suit, to make a bad mess worse. would to God men could be conser- vative enough to keep still until such time as their protest would be worth while.
 If justice miscarries then howl as .lCng and loud as man should.
 God speed the day when the press will spurn such stuff as breeds crime beneath it's print. We have heard too much of these dirty things. Lets cut it out until it's time to holler. i.

THE EGYPTIAN FARMER

who signed contracts before the boom years, when the prices were low, made lot of money but those who entered into agreement at the height of the boom have suffered severely.
 Their losses were so great that the government intervened and appointed committees with power to settle the differences between landlords and tenants. The third class, the labor CTS, are comparatively well off as a result of the changed conditions. Their wages were raised when the prices were high and have not come down in proportion to the fall in prices. Some of them get daily wages averaging between Is and 3s, accord
 ing to the agricultural season and
 the districts in which they work; for instance, wages in Upper Egypt
 Others get from the farmer, rent free, a plot of land varying in size from one acre to three or four acres, according to the fertility of the soil. and cultivate it instead of receiv- ing a money payment for their serv- ices. Both methods of payment work
 out practically the same economi- cally

LETTERS TO EDITOR
D1sARMAMENr CONFERENCE

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 The disarmament conference meets in Washington within 60 days The intervening period will determine to what degree American public opinion will increase the weight and influ- ence of our four representatives.
 One of the four representatives is Senator Underwood His constitu- ency in Alabama can add to his power by mobilizing back of him as he en- ters and sits in conference.
 The organizations of women and of labor are moblizing throughout the nation, and their respective units in Alabama can be depended on to do their full part. The many civic bodies and clubs over the state can render efficient service, and as for the churches, their organization is most favorable for the mobilization of public opinion. The abolition of greatest moral problem now facing the people of the world, and pecu- larly does 1t challenge the religions of the world, peculiarly does 1t chal- lenge the churches of America, with the conference soon to be held in their midst.
 Former generations of men have shown their capacity for moral prog ress by doing away with promlscuity, polygamy, autocracy, piracy, chattel slavery-all institutions of great an- tiquity, all butressed by vested in- terests Present day Americans, that have demonstrated their sympathy for moral progress 9y adopting two recent revolutionary constitutional amendments, may legitimately be sex- pected to show their faith in the con tinued progress of the whole race of men by marshalling public opinic I strongly in favor of this coming con ference.
 The abolition of war cannot be ex- pected from the conference, but a long and important stride will be taken if the three nations meeting together agree to lessen armaments. Another great step will have been taken if American public opinion is shown to be against war as settler of international disputes.
 It is to be hoped that as a conse- quence of this meeting American public opinion will crystalline against the mereenary soldier, and that never again can the scandal be repeated of enlistment for foreign wars where patriotism is not involved and money is the inducement to kill Moors.

Through the courtesy of George
Frederickson of Chicago, who
owns a farm on the Wisconsin
river south of the power dam,
this office received an article
which had been taken from the
Prairie Farmer. one of the oldest
farm papers in America. The
article deals upon highways, and
the writer gives Wisconsin credit
with the best constructed high
ways, and the most economic sys-
TEN of any state in the Union. OF
course, Georges farm is located
upon Highway 40 and therefore
feels like boosting a good thing
when he knows one. He will ar
rive from Chicago within a week
or so and spend the summer in
the land where highways, are
made to travel upon at any time
of the year.

Miss Kilbreth has addressed an ap-
peal to President Harding ito safe
guard the American disarmament
delegation from control by feminist
leaders and internationalist women
without q country"
Net Seeking Appointment,
The appeal states that while there
are many able. sound, patriotic women
who might participate in such a con-
ference with honor to their country,
"such women are not asking such ap-
pointments." The appeal appears in
an issue of the Woman Patriot,
''The demand for women at the con-
ference, like the demand on President
Wilson in 1918 for appointment of
women at the peace table, comes
from very radical, ambitious and
dangerous group of feminists, identi-
fled with the worst form of interna-
tionalism and the kind of paciflsm
that closely approaches treason"
ssThe demand for women at the dis
armament conference like the de-
mand for women at the peace table,
comes from precisely those women
whose associations and Affiliations
render them utterly unit to represent
their country. We most respectfully
request. in the name of national se-
nected with the 'Women's Interna-
tional Congress- of women without a
country, or with the international
Suffrage Alliance be appointed to
represent this nation at the coming

PROTEST SENATE ACTION
IN ENDING RAIL HEARINGS
L. E. Sheppard and w. n. John
ston Charge Procedure Is un-
American and Tyrannical.

Vigorous protest against the action OF
the Senate interstate commerce commit
tee in cutting off hearings on the ad-
ministration railroad funding bill was
made last night by representatives OF
the railroad workers.
l. E. Sheppard, president of the Order
of Railway Conductors. and William H.
Johnston. president Of the International
Associa ton Of Machinists, issued the
following statement after being denied a
hearing by the Senate committee on in
terState commerce.:
1.-THE action of the majority Of the
Senate committee on interstate COM
merce in denial Of the right Of hearing
on the Townsend bill to the representa- l.
tives of railroad labor is a procedure OF
the most un-American, tyrannical and
autocratic nature 1t has ever been our
experience to meet with in appearing
before congressional committees.
I'VE wish to protest to the American
people against this action Of these sena- :
tors. This is only one more evidence OF
railroad ownership Of government as
contrasted with our demand for public
ownership Of railroads"
