Farmer Um1on Ccuso Nos H
Products Proftsbly
The proposed cooperative system
Of handling grain--producer to mill
er-is not possible under present
conditions because Of lack OF facih-
ties with which to finance, store or
export large volumes OF gram says
the annual report Of the board o,
directors Of the Kansas Farmers
Union.
The report contains a defense OF
the action Of the association IN Duy,
ing a seat on the Kansas City poaru
OF trade and states that this move
has enabled It to do much larger
business than had been possible as
an Independent operator. A mucn
more liberal patronage by the zVo
Farmers Union elevators In the state
ia urged. The Union has held seat
on the board Of trade since last
July 1.
The report says the Unions job
hing association "lost heavily" De-
cause Of the decline in prices on its
$40. 900 stock, and in keeping with
action Of the board the entire STOCK
was liquidated. The association is
now operating as a commission hrm'
dealing principally In binder twhe'
and car lots Of coal, fruit, salt, feed'
f,our and other commodities. More
than 1000, 900 pounds of binder
twine were handled last year. Ex-
tensiye efforts were made to increase
the jobbing associations business
sufYicient to make 1t a success. VI
the merchandising department, the
report says:
"Since its organization, the asso'
citation has endeay0red to serve each
Of its members in some effective way.
For this purpose a merchandising de-
partment was established. THIS de'
partment has never made any money.
It was patronized by many locals
not tributary to business associations
and was supported by many OF tne
incorporated associations. For long
time a warehouse was maintained
and orders were filed from mer-
chandise purchased by the manager.
The overhead costs OF this depart
ment were 50 great that big trade
was necessary to put on q paying
basis. The board Of directors and
the general manager used every pos
sible effort to secure an adequate vol
ume Of business. Advertising was
carried in the official organ; exper'
fenced salesmen were put on the
road; meetings of managers were
held in all sections Of the state, and
extensive correspondence supple
mented by frequent price lists, was
carried on, all to no purpose. we
could not get the business"

CLOSE THE DOORS

When the Senate concurs-as if
should do-in the bill which has lust
passed the House, the restricted i'm
migration law will be extended one
year from June 80 next. : It is the in
tentlon of. the House Immigration
committee to draft a permanent en-
actment, but the subject is so intri-
cate that It cannot be disposed Of
hurrledly. The extra year will be
none too long. H.
Until the war upset all Europe the
transatlantic liners were bringing as
many as a million aliens into the
country in year. The situation was
becoming serious. Hosti1ities broke
up the traffic, but after the armistice
a perfect flood Of emigrants was
headed this way: Restriction was a
positive necessity. The 3 per cent
proposition was adopted as tenn
porary measure. The basis for cal
culation was the number of nationals
OF a gwen country resident in the
United States according to the 1910
census. The idea was to receive an
additional per cent of the respective
totals annually
This arrangement met many diff
culties at the start. Ellis Island was

EMMET's EPlTAPH :.

Having been convicted by Dublin
court Of taking part in the ~IrishaRe-
bellion of 1898, Robert Emmett, the
greatest Irish patriot, was duly exc
cuted by the British authorities.
He closed his last speech with these
words: II have but one request to
make on my departure from this
world. Let no man write my epitaph;
for, as no man who knows my motives,
dare now vindicate them, let not pre-
judice asperse them. Let my tomb
remain INSCRIBED, until other times
and other men can do justice to my
character. When my country shall
take her place among the nations of
the earth, then, and not until then, let
my epitaph be written"
More than one hundred years have
passed, during which time thousands
of brave Irishmen have laid down
their lives to free their beloved coun-
try from the horrors of British op-
preston. The Irish have fought Brit
ain to the death, Britain was whip
ped, and just the other day the birth
of the new Irish Free State was cele-
brated. -
No doubt Emmett's martyrdom did
much to keep burning the fires of ma
tionalism which have at last made
ireland nation. To Robert Emmett
more than to any other one man may
the successful ending of the fight for
freedom be credited. Now let his cpl
taph be written. >>~ .."

II am a Christian, but I cannot

taught me with American practices.
Americans are overly suspicious and

broader hearts. +
American missionaries teach us
that all people are equal, SO we well
come Americans, let you travel
throughout Japan. unmolested, buy
property, engage in business, and
give you equal rights with our own

donot practice in America what your
missionaries teach us we must do, if
we want to be Christians. Even the
missionaries do not practice what
they preach when they return to

IBERIA. The Liberians seem to want
the money and the president was in

for it; but THE APPEAL believes it
to be a dangerous matter. If the
money is loaned and not promptly
paid it will bean excuse for the
United States to go in and take pos

many irjustices from which they suf-

the repeal of nearly all of the repres-
