he now lives, which was built by his
father He is one Of our most highly

OF The Time Nor Part OF

The Time.

Writing to the Dispatch from
Washington, D. c., under date of
February 18th, Mr.. Wallace Bassford
our regular correspondent at the ma
tional capital, says:
The President is having Congress
create thirteen more United States
District Judgeships- another load for
the backs of the overburdened tax
payers. incidentally it gives him an
opportunity to take thirteen members
of the Agricultural Bloc from the
Senate and place them where he put
Kenyon. Away back there when the
world was young, the Emperor Tanner
lane found that a petty sultan named
Bajazet was in his way at times, so
he threw the sultan into a cage and
hauled him around the country for
exhibition purposes. The President
will soon have thirteen cages ready
for the Senators who have annoyed
him by standing up for the interests
of the farmers. Curiously enough,
there are just thirteen of these Sen
ators still remaining in the Agricul-
tural Bloc who can be depended upon
to stand by the people on most oc-
casions-except when there is a soft
lifetime job to be had.

The American Red Cross has an
nounced that it has just spent $780,
600 to relieve some of the most urg-
ent cases of actual distress among
the people Of certain parts Of Mon
tana and North Dakota. Congress
took two hundred times that amount
of money from the grain growers for
the Russian relief The Farmers
Council in this city has received a
letter from Y. c. Mansfield Of Sunny
side, Washington, telling of conditions
in several of the Northwestern States.
He writes: "Many farmers are COM
PEELED to go to the bankers and beg
for money TO buy a sack Of -four
Their crops were all mortgaged and

Perhaps few of the farmers in the
country realize that the twenty mil
lion dollars which the Republican
Congress SO generously voted for the
aid Of comparatively small section
of Russia came out of the pockets of
the wheat growers, many of whom are
in real need of aid themselves In
other words, it was appropriated from
the funds of the United States Grain
Corporation and not from the United
States Treasury, and the funds of the
Grain Corporation represent profits
made of the wheat growers These
profits amount to more than thirty
million dollars. Another phase of the
matter is the fact that Congress set
a precedent in this case, for charity of
this kind in the past has been by
private subscription. In 1845 the
country was so moved by the distress
of Ireland, where the potato crop had
failed under the burden of furnishing
the principal support for the eight
millions of people in the island at
that time, that millions were raised
by private subscription, but even then
the Congress was not asked to make
an appropriation. In the case of Rus
sia there was penty of food in the
country, but Communism does not
run true to its name, and the parts
of Russia where food was abundant
would not furnish it to the famine |
region without a price, and the price
could not be raised by the sufferers. /.
1t must give the wheat farmer, who
finds it hard to make ends meet, a |
pleasant thrill to think that he is help /
ing to feed the Russians, while his .
own children may be in need of the .
ordinary necessities of life The /
Bible says that he who does not look .
after his own household first is worse .
than a heather.

PARTY LINES IN PEACE IDEALS

Announcement that Republi-
cans are contributing TO the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation is
n testimonial to the breadth OF
view Of Americans.
And why should not Repubh-
cans do so? Those who do their
own thinking are no less devoted
to the doctrines OF justice and
peace which Woodrow Wilson,
as President. held up before hui
manity. Democrats are no more
eager for world and enduring
peace than Republicans who cast
aside the kind of partisanship
which degraded the United States
Senate.
The fact that Republicans join
with others shows how non-par-
tisan is this movement designed
not only to honor a great presi-
edent but to give To posterity the
fine ideals of public service and
international straightforwardnesS
he cherished and urged even at
the risk of life.
