dent Harding parked his dignity along
with his plug hat in his private car
today and went out into the ripen
ing wheat fields Of Kansas as a har
vest hand to learn for himself some
of the reasons for the widespread
agricultural discomfort which he has
heard so much of in Washington dur
ing the last two years.
Under a broiling Kansas sun, which
beat down mercilessly and left him
dripping and grimy with perspiration
the president drove binder around a
90.acre wheat field in Reno county
under the critical eyes of real dirt
farmers" while they explained to him
their grievances and problems.
Later he addressed an audience of
10000 farmers at the fair grounds,
few miles from Hutchinson. and
there told them what the administra.
ton at Washington has done to aid
them.
Kansans Lose No Time.

Pioneering
With
"
RoseWater

M. "A. Brown in the Kearney Hub.
The Omaha Bee announces the
publication of series of articles
which 1t characterizes as Pioneer
ing with Edward Rosewater," the
founder and for many years editor
and publisher of that paper. The
Bee is doing much to stimulate in
terest in the present men and wo-
men Of Nebraska as factors in the
growth of the state, but we think
there is nothing 1t has undertaken
that will prove of so great interest
or be SO highly appreciated by Me-
braska people as the publication of
the Edward Rosewater series. Indeed.
the new makers of The Omaha Bee,
none of whom were attached to
Edward Rosewater in his lifetime,
have shown a fine sense of the "eter-
nal fitness of things and a large
ness of personal dimension, in paus-
ing to do honor to one Of the last
of a remarkable coterie of American
editors who were journalists of the
old school and were the life and soul
of the papers which they dominated.
nc III Sl vi liC oCi AtS 10 q AsooN-
water editorial printed first in The
Omaha Bee in July, 1871, then but a
few weeks old, an article descant-
ing upon the climate and soil of
Nebraska, writing with zeal and un-
FOUNDED faith, and predicting a fu-
ture which has in So years been
fulfilled beyond the widest visionings
of men of that day. We notice es-
pecially. in this first article, refer
ences to the small beginnings of
agriculture as far west as Fort Kear-
ney and North Platte. Today these
localities, in the center of the alfalfa
belt, are pre-eminent for farming
and stockraising. Indeed. The Omaha
Bees early faith in Nebraska has
been many times justified.
Oldtimers and newcomers will be
alike interested as future pioneer
ing' articles appear, touching the
states natural evelopment. its In
dustral growth, its politics and its
people. No man had clearer facul-
ty for seeing and saying things. and
there were none who compared with
him in the courage to tell the truth
and to drive 1t home. The impress
of the founder of The Omaha Bee
was visible in the making of con-
stitutions, the writing of laws, the
adoption of political policies. and the
operation of affairs of government

subject of agriculture. His speech
was message Of sympathy for the
farmers in their present stricken con-
dition, accompanied by pledge to
keep the agencies Of the government

from the war disasters.
The disturbance of the equilibrium
in agriculture was one Of the ''un-
fortunate and unavoidable results of
the wartime necessities" the presi-
dent said, adding that perhaps con-
ditions might have been improved II
wartime restrictions had not been so
hastily removed. At the beginning

The president recited the measures
adopted by congress TO bring relief
to the farming industry, among them
being extension of the war finance

tariff on farm products. the farm
loan bank bill, the cooperative mar
keting bill with a credit fund of
$50 000.0 900, the rural credits bill. and
the measure permitting the financing
of irrigation projects. He declared
each of these measures was designed
TO help the farming industry in one
way or another and expressed the be.
lief that they would all be effective.
These measures. the president added,
represent about all that congress was
able to do in one session, but he
promised that the needs OF the farmer
