I inquired as to what the rem
edy might be for this insolvency
had in mind the fact that the
whole political struggle in the
whole northwest Is today very
largely a struggle regarding the
proper method of curing the in
solvency of the farmers who pro-
duce grains. THE radicals" who
are supporting Mr.. Rrookhart In
Iowa and Mr.. Howell In Nebraska,
and Mr.. Frazier In North Dakota.
and Mr.. Shipstead in Minnesota for
the United States Senate, are pro-
posing certain method or set OF
methods. I was interested to find
out what method would be pro-
posed by this banker.
He said: '-The only ultimate
remedy that I can see Is q drastic
reduction in the prices Of the things
that the farmers buy. At present the
things that they buy are almost up
to the level OF the prices that
existed during the war. But the
principal things which they sell.

banker, the remedy is purely
commodities which are sold to the
wages paid to labor in industry and
on the farm must come down. The
farmer has been very thoroughly
Debated. The rest Of US must be
equally thoroughly Debated. Such is
the remedy which this banker pro
posed. and II illustrates the very root
of the quarrel between "conserva
tives" and radicals" in the North
west.
The Conservatives and the
radicals" equally admit that the
farmers are in a bad way financially.
But they differ with great violence
as to the remedy. The "conserva'
tives' for the most part think that
the remedy is wholly or mainly
economic. The radicals" think that
II is also political. And in practice
the representatives Of the "conserva.
tives' in public office are seen to &c
over toward the radicals" and vote
for laws for the relief of farmers.
Frank B. Kellogg, Republican con
servative candidate for the United
States Senate from Minnesota, is
not running on any platform OF
doing nothing politically for farm
ers. He sets himself up to be a

Cincinnati, June 25.-Whiskaway, winner of the s50.Ooo Kentucky spe- ciaI race at Latonia yesterday, was shipped to Brookdale Farm. Red Bank. N. J., tonight and will not be 8 starter in the Latonia derby Satur- day. Trainer Rowe plans to rest the great colt at the Whitney farm un- til he goes to Saratoga to compete in the fall racing at that point.
 The son of Whiskbroom II came out of his race in fine shape Norwich, and all the others were reported to have been none the worse for their hard. grueIing Journey.
 Had Whiskaway started in the Latonia derby at a mile and a half, he would have been asked to shoul- der 1S1 pounds.
 Norwich still is at Latonia and his owner and trainer are undecided about plans for the dethroned cham pion. He may remain here and start in the derby or he may return east, they said.
 The big special race. which spelled Morvieh's downfall, was the general topic of conversation among turf fol- lowers here today. All concluded that It was decisive; that the race was truly run, and the best horse won.
 The derby to be run Saturday, probably will attract but a small field. If Norwich starts, Thibodaux, and the Whitney pair. Brookster and Oimpus. probably will comprise the yreater part of the field, although

Huge Profits Not
 Motive Behind > Health Campaign

An unusual feature in connection with supplying the public with Stella Vitae for the treatment of Female Diseases" Is the fact that relief of suffering women rather, than the ac- cumuiation of hugh profits from the sale is the prime motive behind this campaign for better health.
 It is not claimed that Stella Vitae will overcome disease in every case where 1t is used. but 1t Is known that this preparation has already accom- piished remarkable results in thou sands of instances. And in order that avery woman who Is suffering from troubles peculiar to her sex may have the opportunity of obtaining. relief without taking the chance of vast ing her money. Stella Vitae is sold upon q positive guarantee to benefit the patient or her money Is refunded.
 Some who try It may not need this treatment. Some may be afflicted in such manner that no medicine can benefit them. But every woman who Is suffering from female complaints. ewes 1t to herself to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain relief by immediately taking Stella Vitae. If no benefit Is received the druggist who supplied the medicine will cheer fully give back the purchase price. These are positive instructions from the Thacher Laboratories.
 Naturally, it costs money to produce Stella Vitae. and of course q legiti- mate profit must be earned on the in- vestment. but 1t Is not intended that these profits be created by inducing suffering women to pay for Stella Vitae If they do not derive any re- lief from It's use.
 Such q spirit on the part of the bis interests behind the marketing of Stella Vitae ia certainly worthy of note.

 l. A democratic republic.
 2 Transformation of the Reichs- wehr and police Into trustworthy re- publican forces.
 8. Dissolution of all reactionary or ganizations.
 Intervening in today's debate in the Reichstag on the governments measures for the safety of the state and state officials. the chancellor de- livered n speech, of which the key note was that the chief menace threatening the republic emanated from the rightists. He announced that he himself had today received a threatening letter.

 Stella Vitae is not to be confound- ed with the ordinary advertised rem edy. It Is not a cure-all.

PROPOSED TARIFF MEANS INCREASE
 INLN|NG COSTS
Walsh Says Measure Would Greatly Increase Price of Foods-Farm Tariff Bloc
 Held Responsible
ny Associated Press

Washington, June 25.-Increases in tariff duties proposed on fresh meats, sugar, cereals. beans, potatoes and apples if effective would advance the cost of those commodities to Amer tcan consumers by total of S1,316,- 4s9,t4s annually. Senator Walsh. democrat, Massachusetts. said today in a formal statement. He explained that this estimation had been pre- pared by the department of agricul- ture at his request and was based on the total consumption in this country multiplied by the increased tax pro- posed in the new bill over the law of 1913.
 Senator Walsh made public . table prepared by the department showing the increased per capita cost per an- mum on such items would be as fol- lows:
 Barley, $0.0s4; buckwheat. so.oo7: corn, $4.077: oats, $1.30S: rye, $0.o62; wheat, s1.7s2; sugar. s0.490: beef fresh. s2.714; mutton, $0.159; pork. S0.736; beans, $0.130; potatoes, $1,323; apples, so.397; total, s1815s.
 These figures reveal the terrible consequences of high tariff duties on the bare necessities of Hfe," said Senator Walsh. At the very period when we are attempting to deflate the enormous cost of production and excessive prices prevailing as result of war conditions. 1t Is proposed to increase the cost of living to the American people to the extent of S1,316,569.449 per annum.

When the case was called forfeiture was en- tered for non-appearance of defend ant and the case transferred to Walker county.
 Mir. Manor says he made the fur ther proposition to the editor that if he would come to Montgomery and make an apology in open court the matter would be dropped. but at torney for defendant suggested a nominal fine, which took the case to open court. The proceedings at Jas per were on habeas corpus filed for defendant.

 At this point Mir. Manor said he left the courthouse and motoring to Carbon Hill on business, entered the tice upon the publisher to make re- traction, which he refused, Mir. Manor then told how. after the re- fusai, he removed the editors glasses and met him in fistic battle.

 Scene at Gorgas
 The whole affair had it's inception on the visit of Mrs. Manor to the Gorgas steam plant of the Alabama Power company when the congress sional delegation made 8 tour of the properties in its efforts to arrive at first hand information before talk ing action on the Muscle Shoals development project.
 Mrs Manor talked freely of her views on the situation and chatted " ith senators and others, giving them certain information and suggestions. However, her criticisms of the activ- ities of the Alabama Power com pany were caustic and the Carbon Hill Journal editorially had the fol- lowing to say, which precipitated the assault on it's editor:
