Farmers Strike

Farmers Strike
THE Farmers Holiday association gained support
at its Wabasso meeting where committee was
formed to perfect the organization of the county
and hold it's members in readiness until the word Is
handed down from association officers to sell noth-
ing"
There is no doubt but what farm prices are below
cost production and that they must increase before
another prosperity area can appear
No thinking person in the Northwest is not IN 1un
sympathy with the farmers disgust at legislative
maneuvers concerning his cause. Other matters nave
consistently occupied legislative channels to the ex-
cuson of farm relief Legislators either do not know
what do about the situation do not realize its
seriousness
Tariffs and farm boards have failed to bring back
reasonable farm prices. 1t will be recalled that the
plan of the farm board to withhold great quanti-
ties of wheat and cotton from the market in the hope
that shortage would result and that prices would
up What the price actually did was shrink steadily,
resulting in greater losses.
If enough farmers in America financially able
to hold their grain from the market until prices go
up-the program of the association should work
temporarily At least they cannot decline much further
the who holds his grain cannot lose.
When this program is extended to pershabe pro-
ducts such milk and eggs the striking farmer the
loser for what he destroys is lost and what reaction
market their produce.
1t is encouraging to know that the persons behind
this program are sincere they do not favor vio
lence Their criticism of the Iowa affair indicates that
Minnesota will picketng Interference with
the American right to sell if the individual see fit.
Governors of New York
IRON the earliest times the governors of the state
r of New York have included among their number
personages of national as we'll state import
Three of them, Martin Van Buren,, Grover
Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt became presidents
of the United States
Two others, Samuel J. Tilden and Charles E.
Hughes missed the presidency by the narrowest of
margins. Many believe that Tilden defrauded of
the presidency by the electoral commission of 1876.
Horatio Seymour and Alfred E. Smith were also
ddates for president both being decsively defeated
Now Franklin D. Roosevelt is the Democratic cand
date, making the eighth New York Governor to be
nominated for the nations highest office
George Clinton who was the states first governor
became vice president of the United States as did also
Governors Daniel D. Tompkins and Levi p Morton
Other New York governors who attained high ma
tional prominence include John Jay first chief Justice
of the United States; Dewitt Clinton senators Will
liam L. Marcy senator and secretary of war; w. H.
Seward, secretary of state under Lncon and Charles
E. Hughes, secretary of state under Harding and
Coolidge and chief justice of the United States
Supreme Court.
So, while all governors of the Empire state have
not reached the ultimate goal of their ambitions it
appears that that office is desirable stepping stone

ANY person that don't read at least one we'll
written country newspaper is not truly informed"
Will Rogers
rural correspondent writes: "Water Clark was
married last week. We didn't get the ady's name but
anyway it's Clark now'
A Columbia professor wants the publication of
crime restricted by law. 1t would be even better if
crime could be restricted by law.
"The legislature is on trial as to it's common
sense and legislative ability" says Southern news
paper. And it will probably be found not guilty of
either.
The second child in family is brighter than the
first according to psychologist. But the first is gen.
orally bright enough to have things pretty much its
own way.
