ment by members of congress who represent
strictly agricultural districts.
In fact, in a left-handed effort to discredit
the Republican administration, certain farm or
ganization officials who are Democrats have
publicly claimed that they, and not the Repub-
lican administration, were responsible for the
remedial measures which were proposed to con-
gress and enacted by it.
1t is a matter of record that congress did not
refuse to enact a single major proposition that
was proposed and generally endorsed by reput-
able farm organizations of the country.
1t is a matter of record that congress did not
pass a single measure affecting agricultural
conditions that was opposed by reputable farm
organizations or by the farm bloc" in either
branch of congress.
In other words the acts OF commission as well
as the acts of omission, affecting agricultural
conditions of the last congress were both per-
formed in obedience to the advice of the accred-
tied representatives of agricultural, livestock
and dairy interests.
Never in the history of the United States has
any administration co-operated to such a close
degree viii agricultural interests and taken
their advice so implicitly as the present admin
If the Democratic national committee and
Chairman Hull are right in their criticism of
the Republican administration, then the conclu-
sion must be drawn that in event the Demo
cratic party gets into power it will not consult
with the representatives of farm organizations.
1t will override the wishes Of the farm bloc"
in either branch of congress in matters affect
ing agriculture. 1t will take its cue for agricul-
tural legislation from other sources, probably
Mr.. Gompers, who denounced the agricultural
conference called by the Republican admins
~tration; or it may take the advice of Mr.. Baruch
OF Wall Street, or it may take the advice of the
importing interests of New York City, or it may
take the advice of the international banking
crowd who are more interested in foreign secur-
tiles than they are in farm profits.
In any event, the fact that the Democratic
national committee and Mr.. Hull are thorough
ly convinced that what has been done in the last
two years at the request of agricultural organ
izations and under the leadership of the "farm
bloc has been the wrong thing, it must be set
down that If they are returned to power they
will look elsewhere for suggestions and leader
ship in all matters affecting agricultural sec.
tions of the country.

Taking Away Our Tobacco

Rumors continue to multiply TO the effect that
a campaign is TO be inaugurated looking to the
prohibition OF the manufacture and use, and
of course the production of tobacco. Such n
policy would fit in admirably with our present
standardizing tendency, and regulatory methods.
To some Americans it is painful and intolerable
that men or communities should differ from one
another, and so it is thought to the necessary to
make them all alike, and to DO 1t by statute or
constitutional amendment. So II would not be
surprising IL there were an attempt to make
the nation uniformly non-tobacco using. Moth
ing more is necessary than to win a majority to
that way of thinking. Or If a minority is active
enough the Same purpose may be accomplished
For 1t Is an axiom in our political mathematics
that whatever the majority decides is right, and
hence, of course, it is supreme over the life of
the individual and over his habits and morals.
The student may recall that Peter, the Great,
regulated the lives Of his subjects in much the
same way, even going so far as to prescribe the
length OF mems boards, imposing "a graduated
tax proportionate TO their length. So our ma.
jority is being transformed into n sort of Peter,
and whenever tho constitution interferes with
the process the constitution must be got out of
the way by amendment" When we get what
we seem to be after-a thoroughly trained, trim
med, disciplined and regimented population, we
shall need to give ourselves no further concern
about the millennium, for we shall be living in
the midst of il.
Yet variety is no bad thing. It at least makes
for Joy and the truest and
firmest unity that is rooted in variety. In non.
essentials liberty and in all things charity
that is the old rule, given by high authority. II
tobacco were abolished there would be no smok-
ers and chewers TO whom the non.smokers and
non.chewers could point out as sinners. But
doubtless there would be other sinners left. and
other people to point at them as examples of
crime-and reform them. Certain ii is that we
are rapidly and with n high degree of success
building up a Pcterarchy on these shores. But
what, one wonders, is to become OF the hard
pressed Nordics?

Whom Would Hull Consult

The Democratic party speaking through its
national chairman is very dissatisfied with
what the Republican party has done for the
farmer during the last two and a half years,
The burden Of the publicity of the Democratic
national committee as we'll as the output of
Chairman Hull, is to the effect that agricultural
interests would be better served by turning the
Republican party out Of power and putting the
Democratic party in power.
This gives rise to some very pertinent ques.
tions.
Just what net or acts OF the Republican adj.
ministration in connection with agricultural
problems would the Democratic party undo were
II in control?
These questions are pertinent because Of the
twenty-six specific pieces of farm Legislation
enacted by the last Republican congress, every
one of which was endorsed by reliable organi.
cations representing agricultural interests and
supported in both branches Of congress by the
"farm bloc"
To go back n little farther, it may be stated
that the bulk of farm legislation enacted by the
last Republican congress was drafted by nc.
credited representatives OF agricultural inter.
ests, introduced by members of the "farm blocS
endorsed before the congressional committee in
public hearings by representatives Of agricul,
tural interests and pushed through to enact.

 Collins Kicked Goal In the line Hunt played his usual good game and Rogers and OLeary also gave good accounts of themselves. Not knowing the signals made Welch and Leonard useless for opening holes for the New Britain backs. Probably the most sensational play of the game was made by "Swede" Nreeland Quarterback Pierce tossed beautiful 20 yard pass which the speeding Swede spcared while going at top speed, netting a 30 yard gain. Although there was no further scoring, the Providence boy never let it be apparent that they were not at all times master of the situation.
