attitude is on par with that OF a
city council that would refuse TO pro
vide fire protection to its citizens on
the grounds that each one should look
out for himself biindly trusting to
luck that in case or a general con
flagration the windows of heaven
would be opened to put out the flames.
Could any more damning indictmenr
of the bankruptcy of partisan states
manship be imagined than is involved
in the fact that, during the past three
years, more help has been given to
the cotton farmers by the boil weevil
than by the present administration,
and more help has been given to the
grain farmers by a spell of bad weatn
er than by all the administration

err.
Republican politicians are compla-
Gently prophesying that higher gram
prices win cause the farmers to rorger
the three years of wholly unnecessary
crucifixion through which they have
just passed, and to vote the Republi
can ticket as usual These political
forecasters gravely underrate the
farmer intelligence. Farmers know
that the value of American farm pro-
duets shrank over four billion dollars
in 1920, over eight billion dollars in
1921, over six billion dollars in 1922
and over five billion dollars in 1928,
below the 1919 level, total deflation
of approximately twenty five billion
dollars in four years. In the face of
this stupendous shrinkage the recent
rise in the price of grain looks to
them too accidental, too belated and
too Temporary, to cause them to forget
the past four years of demonstrated
and callous Indifference
by the powers at Washington to the
tragedy of the farmer.
Moreover, most farmers realize that
even though grain prices slyrocketed
twice as high as they are today-if
the railroads, the middle men, and the
tariff protected manufacturers were
still to be coddled and subsidized by
class legislation, and al
lowed to profiteer on the farmer prac-
tically without limit as at present, it

AS stated before, they are coming
back from congress with the informa-
ton that the tariff which makes farm
ers pay extreme high prices for the
manufactured articles they buy is good
for the farmer, even if he is left to sell
his product in the cheap world market.
Evidently the congressman who hand
the farmers this bunc are silly or they
think the farmers are.

Through all the trials that the farm
en- has been victim of during the past
four years, the national government
has offered no relief. There s a right
good chance of continuation Of this
same consideration for the farmer by
his government during the coming four
years. 1t is very probable that Mr..
Coolidge will be elected, in spite of all
he has not done for the farmer.

DAWES AVOIDS NAMING WHITE Kansas Speeches Deal Chiefly With Third
 Party
By Associated Press.

WICHITA, Kans., Oct. u.-Charles G. Dawes, republican candidate for vice president, visited Kansas today not ask ing whats the matter with KansasT' but where do you stand, people of KansasT"
 Mir Dawes asked this question in rear platform speeches at Atchison and Emporia, at a noon meeting in Topeka and at a night rally here in Wichita.
 The choice as he outlined it lies be- tween standing on the constitution with Rresident Coolidge and alignment with the socialists and others opposed to the existing order of things behind Senator La Toilette, the Independent candidate for the presidency.
 He profcssed to have no doubt finding the answer to his question, for he re- peatedly declared there is no radicalism in Kapsas," and that lin no section of the country is the call to the eolors more eagerly. responded to at, any time than by the people of Kansas"
 He refrained from touching upon what leaders in his party consider the real campaign in Kansas--the contest in which Jonathan M. Davis, democrat, Ben 5. Paulen, republican, and William Allen White, independent, are seeking the governOrship. M
 He spoke in Mir. White, home city of Nmporia, but Mr. White, who is making hIs campaign with opposition to the ku Kiux Klan, as his issue, was cam patgning in another section of the state.
