her drudgery. This is fair demand.
The merchants in the rural centers
are encouraging the farm women Of
Nebraska and other states in this agi-
tation of their rights. The more the
farmers buy, the better for trade. But
the farmer points to present prices
of wheat and corn, and asks where
he can obtain the money to buy the
things desired by the women. Per-
haps the organized farm women will
proceed to find the answer to this
question for the menfolk. Chicago

WINDY DAYS IN KANSAS

The Goodland Republic was told
by an oldtimer of wind in the early
days that blew with such force that it
shelled the corn in a bin by drawing
the ears through a knot hole.
That could not have been much OF
a wind. An oldtimer tells the Beloit
Gazette that in the early days of Nit
chell County the wind blew so hard
from the southwest that it forced one
of his yearling calves against barn
and held it there until it starved to
death.
That must have been after they
stacked up the Rocky Mountains and
broke the billiards that used to come
down between the Normal and the
College in the early days. Well, once
just before the drouth of sixty the
wind started to blow, and along about
midnight of the second day after, it
had blown three days off February
which used to have 81 days, why the
fellows went out and found the wind
had split the Neosho River down
three miles below town, and that's
how we got the Cottonwood. 1t was
in that wind that Nose Coppock, .of
Emporia Township, lost his beard, and
he hasn't been able to raise anything
but chin whiskers since. One of the
incidental effects of the big wind was
the Populist Party. Bill Bryan as a
young man got out in the wind@with
his pores all open and he has been
full Of East wind ever since. It blew
into him from the West; but he's
just that contrary! s
But after the surveyors laid out
the Rocky Mountains we haven't had
what you'd call a good wind in Lyon
County. Though one day it came on
to blow and drove in the curly tails
OF all the rabbits-clear up to the
white tips-and they haven't grown
out yet. But that was only a zephyr.

FROCK COATS
ing better.

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., may be
welcomed into the great American sar-
torial democracy. He has no frock
coat. At least, he had none with him
when he visited the Orient, and there
fore felt himself embarrassed some
times, because the backward Far East
is given to such garb.
In Toxic, he relates, he was invited
to attend a reception at the royal pal
ace. He felt bound to refuse, as many
a fellow-citizen Of his has felt on
corresponding occasions, because he
lacked the proper clothing. 1t is a de
Tigueur to wear frock coats to the
Emperor's parties. So John D. reck-
oned he'd stay at home. Ambassador
Warren, however, being man Of
sartorial opulence, said he had two
such uniforms, and prevailed on John
D. to wear one of them. So he went
to the party after all, just as many of
us might have done if we were not
proud.
Now the ordinary American will
be less than ever inclined to order
a frock coat, no matter what his wife
says. It would be reassuring to learn
that John D. hasn't any dress suit,
either, but perhaps that it too much
to hope for

LAFOLLETTE LAMENTS A
SURRENDER"

AS might have been expected. Sen
ator- La Toilette of Wisconsin de-
nounces the four-power treaty relat-
ing to the Pacific as revolutionary
reputation Of American traditions
and a disastrous surrender of some
thing or other.
The treaty, as has been explained
especially for the benefit of the pre-
ternaturally suspicious, does not ap-
ply to domestic issues and does not
involve the full acceptance of the ter.
ritorial mandates that have been
awarded under the treaty of Yer
sailles. But this does pot satisfy
Senators La Toilette, Borah and a
few-a very few-other irreconcila-
bles. They continue to insist that the
United States has surrendered some
thing essential to national independ-
ence. What has been surrendered
they fail to specify. They cannot do
so.
In one sense, it is true, any treaty
is a limitation. To agree to DELAY
or to arbitration is to give up the
right to declare war at a minutes
notice. Is this a surrender? The old
agreement not to maintain warships
in the great lakes was a surrender
of the right to maintain them, but
that was not a surrender of national
sovereignty.
The four-power treaty is a guard
ed instrument to preserve the status
quo in the islands of the Pacific. It
is a treaty of Cancellation and accom-
mediation. AS Senator Poindexter, an
irreconcilable during the controversy
over the league of nations, well says,
the new treaty binds the United
States to nothing except what would
be decent and reasonable in the alb
sence of any treaty or any agree

FARM WOMEN'S BILL OF
RIGHTS

An effort is to be made to organize
the farm women OF the United States
on a national scale For a long time
the farmers wife and his mother,
sister and daughter have felt that
their special problems were being neg
lected by the farm organizations, and
they have been seeking proper at
tention to their needs and grievances.
The women Of the countryside have
their community interests and their
civic ideas, and they want a forum for
the discussion of rural schools, re-
creation, church organization, social
life and similar question.
In Nebraska and adjoining states
certain groups of, farm women recent
ly dramatized their grievances in a
''bill of rights" that has aroused much
interest. The authors of the docu-
ment aver that in the recent i'm
provements in farm life too little has
been done for the women. Agriculture
al machinery, motor cars, telephones
and mechanical power are severally
good things for the farm, and direct
ly or indirectly they help the women.
But what of electric washing ma

ISOLATION

If Europe goes to pieces, say II.
G. Wells, it will be for lack Of sound
money. He thinks that Europe at pres
ent is headed definitely in that dir
ection. and the only thing which can
save European civilization is Amer
can help in stabilizing world finances.
And suppose America makes no
effort to stop the disintegratiOn. 1t
is conceivable, says Wells, that Amer
lea might live on, continuing it's civ
ilization, while Europe and Asia and
Africa sink into ruin. We should be
less civilized, less prosperous and
comfortable, than we could be other
wise as the strongest nation in a
civilized, prosperous and comfortable
world. Still, we could get along, in
way, and pull through, and live on
indefinitely in such isolating as no
modern nation ever dreamed of-one
enlightened nation sitting alone in
it's glory, in a world Of darkness.

Dear readers of the News:
I have often thought since leaving

write to one and all through the

deaths this week was one, Mrs. Veal
thy Jacobs Young, whose death
brought to my memory the old days
of fifty years ago. The Jacobs family
lived on what we called the Ridge,
southwest of North Freedom, while
our family, the Douglases, lived in
Franklin, about ten miles south. The
families were friends and about once
a year a party of the family (ours a
family tenn and theirs, family of
eight, would visit the other. and glad
were we when it came our turn" to
take the trip even if it was a big
sleigh with a yoke Of oxen. Fun, well

STACKER LIST WRONG
BRANDS ABOUT 10000 MEN WHO
SERVED COUNTRY.
Publication of New Work Names Dis
closes Startling Ratio of
Error.

New York, May 12.-Forty thousand
men who served in the army and navy
during the war have been unjustIy
branded as draft evaders if the ratio
of error found in New York lists runs
through the War departments whole
catalogue of alleged slackers.
Careful examination of the first lists
published here has shown that % per
cent of the men named as evaders
served their country during the war,
many of them with distinction. AT
that rate, 10000 (enough for full
diyision) of the 10000 alleged slack
ers are being accused unfairly.
Because of this high percentage of
error and because of the admitted fact
that not one of the men accused of
evasion bias been caught, New York
newspapers have discontinued publica-
ton of the War departments lists. A
similar attitude has been taken by
newspapers in Washington, where a
heavy percentage of error was noted
in early lists.
The names of men accused of evad-
ing the draft have been in the hands
of federal prosecutors here and in
Brooklyn for two years, yet no progress
has been made in apprehending or
prosecuting slackers.
