THE FARMER THE GOAT

After all 's said and done il is the farnF- that bears the bulk of all the burdens. for after all the taxes have been passed along by the higher-upS to the other workingmen, the fact still remains that even the other work mguea woaId die if the farmer did not feed him, and so would everybody else Every drone in the country is astriae of the farmers sturdy back and every swivel chair and roll-top desk is in the long run kept up by the tiIler of the soil. We hear awful screams from the press and politicians oyer the agricultural bloc in Congress, but the wonder is the farmer has not demanded legislation and far treat ment long ago. Congress and poiiti- clans have expended tons and rivers of oratory and legislative effort for industry, but mighty little for agri- culture.

FREIGHT RATES AN OUTRAGE

The coal mine operators say they do
 not meet with the miners to fix a ne" scale because if more wages are paid l the price of coal would have to increase to the public, and they acknowledge that the price is already too high, placing the blame for that upon the outrageous freight charges upon 1t by l the railroads.
 The price on all coal is from s to S4 too much Everybody knows that who has studied the situation. This amounts to hundreds of millions of steal from the general public, and the loot is divided between the coal bar0ns and the railroads The miners are sim ply demanding a share of this loot, and probably they are as much entitled to it as are the operators or the railroads. But where does the public 'get of at?' We hear much about what the opera tors want, and what the miners want and what the railroads want, but not word about what the public wants, or ought to have. The operators, the miners and the railroads cannot get together upon wage adjustment, but they are evidently in perfect harmony in adopting vanderbilts famous slo- gan, The people be damned.
 Freight rates all over the country are nothing less than an outrage. They are more responsible for the cost of living remaining as high as it is than any other one factor. Every article you buy. everything you eat, drink, wear or use has concealed ill its price that excessive .ght rate. Politicians are partially to blame for this They thump their swelling chests and proud ly inform ytu that the public service corporations pay the bulk Of your taxes. So they do. and then immedi- ately hand if back to you in excessive charges including freight rates on everything for which your hard-earned dollar is expended Every time freight is raised the middIeman taek, il right on to the commodity. and adds lit'ie more to it for good measure.

TIENTSIN, May 7.-Gen. wu Pei
Flu. at the central station in Tientsin,
at noon today, said that no further
fighting would be necessary If General
Chang Tso Lin's men withdrew out
side the great wall. He added that as
Chang had invaded a province within
which he had no jurisdiction he would
not return to his headquarters until
Chang was outside the border.

sires the unification of China, better

the forces of DIR. Sun Vat Sen, head

they advanced further south.
The victory Of Wu's troops, near
Picking, was won by brigade of the
11th division personally commanded by
Wu. He said today he did not believe
General Chang would offer further re-
sistance.

the situation at Lanchow, Linsi and
