from owning three farms, Henry from owning six houses and
make sure that none has more than another? How are we going
to see that the thrifty have no advantage over the ~unthrifty and
that the workers shall not hold such an advantage over those
who won't work. How are we going to even up things between
those who insist on a six hour day and those who insist keeping
atthe job until it is done if it takes twelve hours?
Perhaps it is up to the scientists. The research workers
(who aren't particular as to hours) find a serum for one thing
end another here and there, things like diptheria, typhoid and
the like. Let's call thrift and the willingness to work hard for
ones self a disease. Perhaps they can find a serum wherewith to

WHEAT PRICES

1t will be recalled by our readers that early last spring the
Courier took the stand that wheat prices could be improved only
by a decrease in production. At that time all sorts of remedies
were being suggested to bring the wheat farmers out of their
distress. The democrats took the stand that our non-partcIpation
in the league of nations and the consequent scarcity of American
money to be squandered in Europe was responsible for low wheat
prices here, for, they argued, Europe had no money to buy our
grain. This attempt to make political capital from an economic
condition fell flat when the statistics of our own government
showed greater exports of grain than before the war.
Then there was another class that wanted a government
guaranteed price on wheat. Sober second thought and the reason
ing of the best minds in the country, including our sagest farmers
themselves, have effectively depicted the evils of such a practice
and its ultimate failure.
The Courier argued that with a surplus of wheat in the
country, despite large exports, the natural thing to do was to
cut down the wheat acreage. This train of thought seemed to
exercise some of the state papers and one journal went so far as
to state that low prices stimulated production! Be all that as it
may, the Courier feels somewhat gratified at the strong current
of opinion throughout the nation that decrease in production is
the quickest and best way out of our present wheat troubles, a
theory which we were the first to expound locally. This opinion
is now being boldly stated in the leading press of the country,
in magazines, trade journals, daihes and even farm papers.
More significant even than these expressed opinions is the
actual effect it is having on the 1924 crop. From Kansas comes
The word Kansas farmers propose to reduce their wheat acreage
~one-half" From Iowa the United States bureau of agricultural
economics has sent out the news that only 72 per cent Of last
years acreage viii be sown to winter wheat this fall. Unofficial
reports from the Dakotas show a similar decrease and while NO
Montana figures are yet available it is fairly safe to assume they
too will show a substantial decrease in winter wheat sown.
If the wheat growers association succeed in their attempt t
hold a good per cent of the present crop off the market for
time and the decrease in acreage goes on, fair prices for wheat
in the years to come seem fairly well assured.

WHAT DO THEY WANT?

Is it not about time for our alien propagandsts to abandon
their appeals for sympathy and get down to facts and figures.
Is it not about time to quit picturing wonderful word pictures
about that dead issue, the league of nations, and tel-f they must
discuss it-just what it would mean to the United States to join
it as President Wilson wished. Disregarding for the moment
the enormous contributions the United States has already made
toward the rehabilitation of Europe, the huge accretions of ter
ritory and naturel wealth which the allies won as a result of the
war, and the refusal of this country to accept any of the spoils
Cf war, just what is the obligation which these people conceive
we now owe to Europe?
Do they wish us to cancel the $11, 100000 600 debts owed by
Europe to the United States treasury, and increase the taxes on
our own people sufficiently to make up this amount? If so, let
them courageously advocate such a policy and not cowardly hide
behind a general plea of laid for Europe"
Do they want the United States senate to ratify the treaty
submitter to it by former President Wilson, whereby this country
would guarantee France against any future aggressOns from
Germany? If so, let them declare themselves and candidly tell
the people what they think it would cost them in men and money
to make the Franco-German boundary secure.
Do they want the United States to accept German bonds in
lieu of the allied debt obligations now held by our treasury, and
then look to Germany for the future payment of those bonds
That scheme has been suggested abroad more than once, and
would undoubtedly bring great relief to Europe. If that is their
plan let the propagandsts boldly advocate American reorganiza-
lion of German finances, the statoning of American tax collectors
in all German ports and cities, and whatever else may be neces-
Sary to get our money back.
Do they want an American army sent to drive the French
out of the Ruhr? If so, let them come forth and urge such a pro-
gram upon American mothers and tax payers.
Do they want us to join the league of nations and perform
the enormous duties under the covenant that have been shirkeC
by every one of it's signers? If so, let them have the courage tt
demand such a course from the 100000 voters who denounced
that instrument in 1920.
If these suggestions do not include the program of the
European aiders and resources at the expense of the United States
will they please give us enlightenment? No matter what furthe
laid" may be extended, the price has got to be paid by American
men and women, by American tax payers and producers. 1t i
only fair to them that they be given some inkling of what is il
store.

CALL THE DOCTOR

Remember Thompson's boy, the one we used to think was
not all there? Remember how you helped him with his little
common arithmetic problems at recess winter terms. Winter
terms were all he could go to school for the old man kept all the
boys busy on the farm from spring to December. Recall how
he managed to grub his way through high school and then by
years Of work through that little college, paying his own way
by labor? Well, if you remember, he was selected one of the
trustees of his college, he was put in as president of another and
pulled it out of the dumps of financial distress, quit and bought
a big farm on a shOestring and is a mighty well to do man. His
brother, the smart one, spent all he could get and he could get
dollars where Jim got dimes and later Jim buried him and helped
the widow and put the three children through school.
Then there was Sam Brown, hard working, brilliant
"Browney." He was good in school and busy as a bee at some
contraption or other out of school hours. Remember he made
that little steam engine out of junk? Well, he's Brown, the in
ventor. Worth millions. Was a poor man for forty years. Stuck
to it and then hit it. If we were to locate him by name it would
be one familiar to every ~schoolboy.

PRESIDENT HEARS
PROTEST ON DAVIS.
Labor Secretary's Alleged
Racial Prejudice Arouses
Cleveland Group.

Protests against statements in the
autobiography of James j. Davis,
Secretary of Labor, '"The Iron Pud-
dler." were placed before President
Coolidge by Representative Charles
"A. Mooney, representing a group of
citizens of Cleveland, Ohio, Saturday
This protest is to the effect that
officials of the bureau of immigration
and the Labor Department are sup
porting a movement for more drastic
exclusion of peoples of non-British
or non-Teutonic origin.
Through the public prints" says
the statement. at has come to our
notice that bureau of immigration
heads are constantly referring to i'm
migrants of non British or non-Teu-
tonic origin as undesirable and that
the department Is supporting the
movement to bring about more
drastic exclusion of peoples of non.
British or non-Teuton origin by en-
courag1ng the enactment of a meas
ure which would base the immigra-
tion quota upon the 1890 census of
nationals"
AS throwing possible light upon
the bent of mind that dictates such a
pollcy we would call your excel
Iencys attention to the following
passages from an autobiographical
work entitled The Iron Puddler,'
which has appeared from the pen of
secretary of Labor James ]. Davis:
Calls One Class "Rats."
Some men are by nature beavers
and some are rats; vet they all be-
long to the human race. The people
that came to this country in the
early days were OF the beaver type,
and they built up America. because ii
was in their nature to build Then
the rat people began coming here.
to house under the roof that others
built. And they try to undermine
and ruin it, because il is in their
nature to destroy. They call them
selves anarchists.
"A civilization rises when the
beaver men outnumber the rat men.
When the rat men get the upper
hand, the civilization falls Then the
rats turn and eat one another and
that is the end. Beware of breeding
rats in America
1T Is submitted by the under
signed that doctrine which thus at
tempts to divide race groups Is pro-
vocative of violent hatreds and die
turbances."
