Progressire Conference Meets.

Senator Shipstead OF Minnesota.
Senator Wheeler Of Montana and Sena-
tor Brookhart Of Iowa were conspicu-
Gus members Of the conference Of pro-
gressives which met at Washington the
first Ct the month. All fought their
way to senatcrships with scarcely any
money or organization back OF them.
They were opposed in their respective
states by almost the entire press and
big business. 3.s.
The conference which was called by
Senator La Toilette marked the first
gathering of the newly elected Progress
sives. It displayed q fighting edge and
determination to make the Progress
sive program an actual fact.
The conference delayed until spring
the formulation OF detailed program
BY such maneuver the Progressives
blocked the possibility Of the White
House stealing any Of their thunder and
prevented their enemies from singing
out ay che proposal for attack.
Meanwhile the Progressives will do
all in their power to defeat the inde-
fensible ship subsidy bill and other
Administration legislation.
From the complexion Of the con
ference it is evident that the newly elect
ed Progressives will constitute a heavy
reinforcement to the liberal bloc il
Congress. This bloc now appears
strcng enough to force the fighting il
tne next session despite the obstacles
Of party machinery and Of the party
organization of Congress.

should let down the immigration bars
to permit the Greeks sad Armenians
driven from Turkey to come in, the
American nation might as we'll make
up its mind that hereafter it will have
to provide a refuge for ell OF the dis.
carded minorities from all parts Of the

No one who is familiar with Coz.

to Lim in the above paragraph. There
are thousands now in the Near East
whose only hope for the future lies
il the willingness of their relatives in
the United States to provide for them
American generosity is now keeping
alive many of these in the refuge camps
in Greece and Asia Minor but this is
no permanent solution of the problem
We are faced with the alternative
of spending money to keep people
alive without giving them the means
of rehabilitation or allowing at least
those who nave, near relatives in Ameri-
ca to ccme over over here to normal
home life and support.
Evidence is now accunulating that
the quota law for immigration does
not work. American public opinion
will not tolerate a strict enforcement.

Again and again the law hes bee:a,

When relatives in America are willing

Greeks who have been driven from,

Happy NesO Year.

What are you going to do in 1923 to
make the Happy New Year" your
wish for all you greet in January 1st
come true?
What can I do?'' is the natural
answer.
Here is something you can do; you
can interest yourselves in your schools.
You can visit some of them. You can
see for yourself whether or not your
own children are being adequately
cared for, properly taught, wisely
made into zeal Americans.
But have no children, " is no good
answer. You have an American birth
right. You have an American ideal.
You believe in Democracy. You be-
lieve in freedom CT thought, of religion,
of the press, of action, within the law.
You believe this is the best country in
which to live. You believe that here,
rather than in any other land, man has
the greatest opportunity to be happy.
But you won't be able to believe
these things if the generation to come
after you does not SO act that you can
believe them. And the generation to
follow you is not going to be truly and
wholly American, unless its members
are taught, now, to-day, this minute,
in the fundamentals of the American
doctrine.
You pay your taxes and comfortably
leave the rest to a School Board, or a
Superintendent of Schools, or City
Council. When you give an order in
business, do you forget it, or watch to
see if it is carried out? When woman
tells her cook to prepare dinner, does
she rest satisfied regardless of how the
dinner is cooked, or train her cook to
better ways if it is ill-done, or get a
new cook if the old one can not be
taught? Well, which is most import
ant; the order in business. the cooking
of dinner, or the education of child
rem? You have given your orders, as
a voter and tax payer; it is your bust
ness to see that they are carried out:
If you find them unexecuted, you can
protest But if no one looks to- see,
if no one protests, if no one takes an
interest, not only the children, but
America, your America suffers! -.

Farmers Losing Farms.

The farm census of Minnesota just
disclosed by N. j. Holmberg, state
commissioner of agriculture, is full Of
most impressive figures regarding the
growth and magnitude of the agri-
cultural industry in one of the greatest
and richest of the states, but there are
certain developments which should
engage the serious attention of every
one interested in the future of this
comm onwealth.
For instance, while the number of
farms have increased since 1920 from
157,170 to 170,891, a truly remark
able gain, and the farm acreage from
26,859,526 to 27,934,179, there has
been disquieting proportionate in
crease in the number Of farm tenants
as compared to farm owners.
Farm owners increased from 118, ,707
to 10000, according to Mr.. Holm
berg. During this same period farm
renters increased from 38,463 to 49,
coo. w HE Vie lOAlUtI VI OWIGTS
Increased 1868 the number of renters
increased 8,12O. According to Mr..
Holmberg's figures, which do not ac-
count for the present ownership of
nearly 1000 farms, the percentage Of
owners has declined from 75.5 in 1920
to 70.4 per cent in 1922, while the per-
centage of renters has increased from
24.5 in 1920 to 27.2 in 1922. At the
present rate of 5000 farms in two
years, all the farmers in Minnesota
would lose their farms in 80 years.!
Such condition indicates the serious
ness of the present crisis in agriculture,
and the necessity for legislative and
cooperative action to stop this alarm
ing tendency. Minnesota Daily Star.

STATE FAIR TO Be
HELD WEEK LATER
OCTOBER 20 TO 27 is SET AS
DATES FOR BIG EXHIBIT
THIS YEAR.
COMMITTEE TO MEET LATER
Spring Gathering of Fair Society to
Meet In Columbia February
Fifteenth.

Columbia.-Dates for the next South
Carolina state fair have been definite
ly set for October 1927, according to
D. F. Efird, secretary. Mr.. Efrd said
that an effort was made to change the
time this year so that the fair would
be held one week later than usual,
but as it is on a circuit and Atlanta
and Birmingham were not willing to
change their dates, it was necessary
to keep the same week.
The annual spring meeting of the
fair society will be held February Is
in Columbia, probably at night as is
the custom. At this time the new pres
ident, Robert M. Cooper, of Wisacky.
who was elected last fall, will take
charge, and the vice-president, John D.
w. Watts, and the new executive COM
mittee, will go into office The secre-
tary, and treasurer will be elected at
a meeting Of the executive committee
Immediately after the society's ses-
sion. Members of the executive COM
mittee elected last fall are: w. M.
Frampton, Charleston, First district;
R. B. Cunningham, Ulmers, Second dis.
trict; ]. G. Gambrell, Ware Shoals,
Third district; o. P. Mills, Greenville,
Fourth district, L. |. Guion, Lugoff,
Fifth district; ]. L. Mcintosh, Doves
vile, Sixth district; D. G. Ellison, Co.
lumbia, Seventh district. Mr.. Framp-
ton, Mr.. Guion and Mr.. Mcintosh were
on the committee last year.
The executive committee Of the fair
will meet in Columbia for probably
three days at which time departmental
heads will be heard and conferences
will be held with the representatives
Of various civic organizations OF Co
lumbia.
The society last fall adopted the
report of the special committee that
was appointed in 1920 to look into
the advisability Of forming a stock
company to take over the fair, this
committee recommending at October
meeting that a campaign to raise
100000 be begun to put the fair asso.
citation on its feet. This committee
also recommended that Section OF
the constitution be changed so as to
rotate the members of the executive
committee. Under this plan two
members would serve for one year,
two for two years, two for three years
and one for four years. 1t was also
recommended that the commissioner
of agriculture be added as an execu.
tive committee member. The report,
made by ]. L. Mcintosh OF Doves.
vile, was adopted, but other than
that no action was taken, leaving the
recommendations to be decided upon
later. Members Of this committee
were: R. NJ. Cooper, Jr., of Wisacky
w. NJ. Frampton of Charleston, J. L.
Mcintosh of Dovesville and W. A.

EARLY ACTION ON
BONUS FORECAST
RESOLUTION PASSED INSTRUCT
ING WAYS AND MEANS CON-
MITTEE TO FRAME BILL.
NO OPPOSITION TO MOTION
Declares that Once Reported the
Measure Will Be Given Right of
Way in the House.

Washington.-Early action in the
house on soldiers bonus bill was
forecast when republican members at
a caucus adopted resolution instruct
| ing the ways and means committee to
frame a bonus bill and declaring that
once reported the measure should be
the continuing order of business until
passed. No opposition to the resolu-
tion developed, it was said.
While ways of raising necessary
revenue for a bonus were discussed,
| it was said no instructions were given
the ways and means committee as to
what revenue raising provisions
should be placed in the bill. Members
were generally Of the opinion that
it would be advisable for the COM
mittee first to thresh out this point,
and have the republican membership
of the house privileged, after the bill
! is reported, to caucus again, particu-
! larly on that feature of the measure.
Sentiment was expressed, it was
said, in favor of making the cash pro-
visions of the bill less attractive and
those providing for insurance and
home and farm aid more desirtble
option. Several members were said
to have urged that cash payments be
somewhat reduced so that more vet.
Grams will be inclined to take advan-
/ tage of other benefits.
This, 1t was said, would require less
| initial revenue.
Incidentally several ways of provid.
ing necessary revenue were suggested,
among them a sales tax, issuance OF
bonds secured by the foreign debt
and use of interest paid in by nations
indebted to the United States.
Chairman Fordney, Of the ways and
means committee, assured his coli
leagues that his committee would act
with the prospect that they would be
brief and that the bill would be report
ed very soon.

remain in the bank for enc year, the
bank to pay per cent. Cards to this
effect were sent to all depositos. and
they are being returned. The first day
there were amounts to S477,O00, and
today Mr.. Craig says the cards have
been returned in excess Of $7OO,OCQ.
The bank has a deposit of s1,OOO.OO0
but it is believed that almost to man
the cards will be returned with the
full promise, and Mr.. Craig says that
he hopes to reopen the bank in less
than Is days after it closed.
