FREE-HOLDING FARM 81
ERS MENACED

News coming up from the South
tells that on the gigantic corporation
owned and managed cotton and sugar
plantations the workers are being
compelled to labor for rations only,
SO many pounds Of flour, meal, meat
and sugar being doled out to them
weekly, just as in the days Of chattel
slaves. This is nothing but the infa-
nous system Of agriculture establish
ed by the Diaz despotism in Mexico
creeping into the United States. I'm
der such system free holding farm
ers cannot possibly hope to exist, for
it will be Impossible for them to hold
on to their farms u competition with
peon labor. All th4se southern states
are under I. v. "A. governments. If
you want like conditions in North Da-
kota, vote for the Cass County Ku
Klux Klan's candidates and amend
ments in the recall election.

3 5. The Department has paid all the
1919 losses and $1,000, 600 dollars Of
the 1920 losses. The reason why all
the 1920 losses have not been paid
is that great many Of the taxes have

tied Hail Insurance money in private

WEEKLY LETTER
Washington, D. C. June 1e

Washington, D. c. June 1S
Some old blunt philosopher ex'
claimed: "What fools we mortals be-.
If foreign nation would threaten tt
assert by force some real or fancied
right in South America, we would all
be ready to hazard fortunes, risk lives
absent ourselves from families and en-.
dure in-describable hardships in the
defense Of the Monroe doctrine. But
when, after years of discussion and
agitation, some definite real reform
calculated to remove financial and in.
dustrial burdens from ourselves and
those for whose present and future
welfare we are responsible is proposed
we are deferred by the asserted dan
gers Of paternalism, socialism, too
much politics in business, danger of
trade depression and many other ap-
pellations so often used to camouflage
the real attitude of would-be reform
ers toward remedial legislation.
Our great trouble is that we are too
prone to become tired reforming at
the wrong time. It is strange and un-
accountable that any sane person is
unwilling to endure year or two of
hardship, annoyance and inconven-
ience with the knowledge that upon
the readjustment at the end of that
period far better social, business and
living condition would be reached.
There has been a multiciplicity of
remedial and constructive measures
proposed for the relief of the country
in general and agricultural interests
in particular since the beginning of
the special session of the 9th Con-
gress. In this connection would like
to emphasize the Importance and far
reaching possibilities of S. Concur

Doctor

A new organl-
cation has been

composed Of thirty members
of the faculty, and its pur-
pose is original and unique.
The name given to it is" $50
ciety for the decentralization
Of the Title Of Doctor" The
members subscribe to the
tenet that the term doctor"
is misleading when applied
10 non-medical men, and
should therefore not be used
in salutation.
They further announce
that the term professor is
now used by sleight-of- hand
artists, Wrestlers. .iazz-band
leaders, and the like, and
hence is not welcomed by
men ct letters, scientists and
instructors.
The society, organized al
first in d vein of levity, by
several professors, is now
seriously regarded by mem
hers of the faculty who af-
fixed their signatures to its
constitution at the Colon
made Club.
The members, by a unan-
imous vote, have decided
that in future they will use
the term mister" and insist
on being similarly address
ed.
The only amendment we
would offer would be that

titled to the same prefix.
