CAPPER-VOLSTEAD ACT.

There is given in the Atlanta Con-
stitutlon a clear definition OF the Cap
per-Volstcad act, which has just pass
ed Congress.
The bill simply applies to the busi-
ness of farming, the principle of col
lective bargaining, according to which
the business of processing and distrib-
uting practically everything that the
farmer has TO buy is carried on.
1t withstands the test Of the courts.
Cooperative marketing collective
bargaining--by organizations of farm
ers cannot be stopped on the theory
that 1t comes within the purview OF
the antitrust laws inhibiting com
bination in restraint OF trade"
The Constitution declares that the
enactment of this law marks one
of the most significant victories for
the farming interests OF this country
that has been recorded In many a day
and it's effect should soon be manifest
ed in the form Of more and more
oloseiy-knit farm marketing organ
izations, giving marked impetus &c
the agricultural industry."--Augusta

IN PENNSYLVANIA.

outside OF Allegheny and Philadel-
phia counties the Democratic and
Republican parties are sufficiently
matched to make = healthy fight In
every contest. Let the citizens OF the
two chief cities show the same inde-
pendence by voting the Democratic
ticket when the Republican party
needs discipilning and government In
Pennsylvania will Immediately take on
a higher tone.
Just keep In mind that there are
some Democratic strongholds in the
State also. that "a Of the 81 counties
were carried by tho JefYcrsonians In
1916 and that, following the landslide
to the Republicans In 1920. there has
for more than a year been strong
swing back TO Democracy in Pennsyl-
vania. The other second clnsB city
OF the State, Scranton. now has a
Democratic Mayor. and not In years
has the Democracy OF Pennsylvania
been more strongly united or more
militant than 1t is today. Not only are
the people OF the State in the main re-
spending enthusiastically to tho
Democratic, appeal, but In Pittsburg
and Philadelphia there also Is in
creasins interest In the opportunity
to get real cleanup at Harrisburg
by electing the ticket headed by John
A. McSparran.
1t must be kept In mind also that In
n State the size Of Pennsylvania, with
a population of practically 5000 O0C
that what ordinarily might seem like
an impossible majority to overcome is
not so at all. The Republican land
slide in 1920 cannot. as shown by the
steady return to the Democratic party
and the revolt In the Republican
party against the Harding Admins
tration, be taken as n basis for com.
putation. Tho Republican plurality ir

SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.

City Council. mt its meeting Thurs
day night. received a communication
from Mr.. Bernard Smith, a reputable
citizen, complaining with Just indigna
tion about the horrible housing and
vailed on Lafayette street. He do
clared these conditions to be most
deplorable. and asked why, with
Board OF Health especially enjoined
to prevent or correct such conditions.
and other city officials clothed with
full remedial authority, the condition
of houses UNIT for swine to in
habit, much less human beings"
should be countenanced.
This complaint, which City Coun-
ell referred to the Board OF Health,
is not only well-founded, but alto-
gether just. Lafayette street for years
has been notorious for disease breed
ing filth, for dangerous disorder. for
lawlessness even to murder. In recent
times 1t gained additional notoriety
as the lurking place for dealers In
forbidden drugs and narcotics. In n
word, It was. and still is. breeding
place of disease and crime, dis.
grace to the community.
Many years ago Lafayette street
was the abode of decent. cleanly and
Industrious folks, laborers and their
families. But 1t has sadly degener-
ated. Now 1t Is the home and hiding
place of dissolute and disorderly Ne
groes.

REASON FOR THE sMELON.-

The luscious "melon-cutting" by the
Standard Oh Corporation OF New Jer-
sey, this week, in the division Of near
ly half million dollars worth OF
additional stock among the present
holders ot-its common stock. has been
the talk Of the business and financial
world. The fortunate recip;Ants are
the envy of thousands who are not
among them. And millions of oil
users, who are compelled TO pay ex-
orbitant prices for the oil they buy,
and enjoy none of these lavish re-
turns, naturally are stirred by deep
indignation.
And now comes the story that this
division of millions OF dollars of sur
plus earnings was more than anything
else q device on the part Of the cor
poration to evads 4 heavy tax pay
ment 10 the Federal government. Had
It not been for this form of division,
It is said, the company might have
been compelled 10 pay an excess in
come tax Of rs per cent on this huge
amount.
Thus. this great corporation en-
riches Its privileged stockholders in
order to evade paying tax TO the gov
ernment. according to this report,
which sounds very probable.
But the millions who buy Standard
oil at q price which allows. such enor-
nous profits. must pay all their tax
dues. nevertheless.
Thus Ia seen how wealthy corpora
tons enjoy unusual and costly privi-
ieges under partisan Republican legis-
lation for the benefit OF private inter-
ests.
No such 'melon-cutting," such Law
Ash distribution of money wrested

known in former Democratic days.

TERMS AT MUDANIA.

The armistice terms worked out at
the Mudania conference are about as
good as could now be devised. II is
indeed terrible thing that a portion
Of Thrace is to be restored TO Turkish
sovereignty, but that had been prom
ised by the Allies long ago, and in the
present situation there was nothing to
do but keep the promise. Under the
armistice agreement. the transfer of
Thrace to the Turks will be accom-
plished under conditions which should
guarantee that there will be no mas
sacres. and still more important that
the war will not spread further into
| Europe
The Peace Conference will be an
other and more serious matter, in so
far as any conference Is a serious
matter now that the world has learned
10 regard conference decisions as
something intended to stand only un-
til the calling of the next conference.
There is reason to hope for something
like harmony in Anglo French policy
when the negotiators meet-and on a
basis on which Italy can stand beside
the two other Powers. There Is a
sudden and disturbed perception in
Paris that the Government has run

ECONONY-OF A KIND.

Republican orators and newspapers
IN Delaware are urging the voters to
vote for economy. this year-but for
economy IN national administration
only. They refer to the war expendi-
turcs Of the Wilson administration as
~extravagant" and hold that a con-
tinuance OF Republican national ad-
ministration is necessary in the in
terest of economy.
But none but blind partisans can
see any inclination TO economy in the
record thus far OF the present Repub-
lican administration. War expendi-

GOOD ADVICE TO WOMEN.

The State Convention OF the Wom-
ems Christian Temperance Union, in
session at Smyrna, this week, adopted
the following resolution:
THAT every woman should ex-
ercise her own political judgment
in voting for candidates for po-
litical Office, regardless Of the in
fluence OF the men,"
This is good, practical advice, and
should be followed by all women vot-
ers. Indeed, the advice is good for
men voters also, in relation TO the
matter Of exercising personal judg-
nent in selecting candidates for
whom to vote.
Owing to the long-prevailing social
relations of men and women, yielding
by the latter to the judgment Of men
in matters about which women were
not supposed 10 be fully conversant
had become general. So it was only
natural, when women were granted
the privilege Of suffrage, for men to
hold that women should follow manly
Judgment in deciding how and for
whom to vote. And no doubt many
men regarded it as their rightful pre-
rogative to direct the voting choice OF
their wives and other women folk.
But the DUTY of citizenship rests as
fully upon women as upon men. Every
woman voter should exercise her own
calm and deliberate Judgment in
marking her ballot. Especially should
the women Of Delaware do this, as

ports OF one state over those OF
another"
IN spite of these strong objecti5ns
the free port idea has many ardent
supporters. Former Secretary Of Com
merce Redrsld was much In favor ot
their establishment and leading off,
cials of the United States Tariff Conn
mission and the Bureau Of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce have inclin-
ed TO tho policy. Many great trade
and commercial organizations have
advocated the plan.
The tariff IL a subject which seems
rather technical 70 the Iayran but
IN reality II has a bearing on every
day lie. The whole question comes
down 10 whether a nation has a denss
or a sparse population. In a dense
population, labor IS cheap and manu-
facture economical Therefore such
a country can under.ell the new coun-
try. In new country, people are at
premium, labor is high and manu-
faccures are scarce.
Adam Smith. the eminent British
economist, illustrates the principle by
explaining that in England a man in
poor or moderate circumstances would
not marry widow with several chill
dren because they would be a burden
TO support in a nation already over
populated. IN the American colonies,
he says. the more children a widow
has the more OF a matrimonial eaten
she Is because the man who Tnarr1es
her gains the assistance OF a ready
made troop OF labor, the most priced
element OF such a country.
! The same comparison which Adam
/ Smith made between England and the
colonies now can be applied with equal
force TO New York City or 10 New
/ England in comparison with the broad
and sparsely populated lands Of the
West.

THE FARMERS INTEREST.


The Republican party, the party of
high protective tarifftaxation for the
benefit OF special interests, makes
great profession OF its concern for
those who are compelled to labor for
a living, especially the poor farmer"
Not that the farmer, as a class, is ac-
tually poor, but that II sounds we'll to
make this designation as an ornamen,
to partisan professions. The word
rolls glibly from the tongues of Re-
publican orators.
But how have the farmers benefited
by the tariff and other legislation, i'm
posed upon, the country by the Re-
publican party? This is the question
propounded to the farmers of Dela.
ware by the Dover Index, and also
aptly answered by that paper. a,
follows:
What has the Republican party
done for the farmers of Delaware?
Nationally it has given them a
lemon in the shape of tariff duties
on farm products. Every farmer
knows he must look to foreign
markets for sale of surplus and
while he is given duties on his
products under the Republican
tariff law the purpose OF the law
is to shut out foreign goods and
thus cast OFF the chance for for
eign customers OF our farm prod
ucts to get the money with which
to buy. On the other hand the
tariff law has boosted the price of
everything that the farmer has to
buy. The Delaware farmer who
votes for du Pont and Layton.
who voted for the tariff law is
stupid indeed. Every other indus
try is looking after itself in some
way. We hear a lot nowadays
about the wide-awake. up-to date
farmer. The farmer has been
fooled again and again for genera
tons by the Republican party.
Will he prove himself no wiser In
1922 than ne was a decade ago?
We shall see. II he is really awake
and alive he will vote for Bayard
and Boyce this year. At the same
time he viii look alive to his own
interests this lean year and pro-
tect himself from threatened in
crease of taxes by helping TO make
a very much needed change in
the State"
This year has been bountiful in Il
crop returns, and while the farmer
as a rule, may not have lost none.
they have not profited to an exter
proportionate with the generous proc
ucts. The reason for this is clearl
set forth in the above explanauo
by our Dover contemporary.
Yet the farmers Of Delaware al
asked TO vote for a continuance ,
power of the party which has, in i
national administration, imposed sue
a condition upon them.
