socially prominent New York railroad
executive between July Is and August
S, the day his bullet-pierced body was
found in a Long Island ditch, still re-

Two New York detectives. who spent
two days in Connecticut trying to fol-
low Sanborn's trail after he was seen
aboard a bus at East Haddam by his
fiancee, July Is, yesterday returned tc
New York, apparently with little new
information.

Miss Magnhild Almskaar, the f1ancee

Initiation And The Farmer

We have heard folk argue that initiation OF the
currency, bringing higher prices for farm commo-
dites will not do the farmer any good because it will
increase the cost Of the things he buys by just as
much as it increases the cost Of what he sells We do
not think that is true
In our opinion the farmer will be the first as
we'll as the greatest beneficiary of any change In our
currency system which dimnishes the purchasing
power of the dollar The farmers cost of production
has not fallen anywhere nearly much the prices
he gets for his products have fallen Labor cost the
farm is down little; feed and fertilizers slightly
cheaper But insurance, interest mortgages, and
taxes have increased while prices of farm products
have gone down.
Not long ago farmer could get eight to ten dol
lars for cowhide; now he is lucky, most places, to
get fifty cents Have any of our farmer readers had
occasion to sell cow lately? We hear Of cows which
worth SIS 800 three years ago being sold for
S. One cowhide will make eight pairs of shoes, but
it takes nine of them to buy one pair. One farmer
told lately of getting pair of shoes for the Prise
seven hundred pounds of milk. 4
49, A.aaorIal times nearly half the output of the U.
S. Steel Corporation went into things used on the
farms It is going to help that business and all other
business when the farmer again have surplus to
spend; though it is hard to figure much Of surplus
so long as taxes absorb all that the prosperous
farmer earns.
We know Of farms that have been sold up for
taxes; we have heard of farmers giving their farms
away to escape responsibility We do not think that
any kind of initiation could make conditions worse.

Roosevelt Laughs

Every picture Of the President shows him laugh
ing. Running Congress ragged seems to be good
joke to him. Office seekers tickle him.
Unlike Teddy it seems to be laughter, not just
grin that shows his teeth.
When somebody asks for postoffice, Roosevelt
laughs. When the veterans want more than is com
ing to them, he laughs and they vote to stand by
him. When job hunters embarrassed him before his
Inauguration he laughed and went fishing Off in the
Atlantic, where they couldn't find him. When people
began to pick his Cabinet ahead Of time, he laughed
and told them they 80 per cent wrong-and they
were He made it big guessing game. When Europe
hunts him up to reduce the debts it makes him laugh
1t is contagious laughter. The country is be-
ginning to laugh Panic soon peters out the face of
good humor Roosevelt lubricates the machinery of
government with the oil Of good cheer He keeps the
big oil can handy and when anything begins to
screech he gives it drop or two.
Laughter helps him keep, his perspective,
health 1t will do as much for the rest of Let's try

Commodity Prices Moving Upward

With the embargo on the export Of gold, which
means that the United States, far international
settlements are concerned is off the gold standard;
with the American dollar deprecated abroad along
with the other deprecated currencies of the world
American commodity prices are moving upward and
at this time American farmers a class better
off by several hundred million dollars than at any
time for a considerable period
On April 20 May wheat was selling at Chicago for
50 cents bushel, 13 cents above the April l price;
May corn at 36 cents was AZ cents above the April
price, and May oats at 2412 cents cents above
the April price.
Not where they should be, and not where they
will be- but the trend is upward and every indication
is that it will continue in that direction Predictions
around the Chicago Board are for $1.0O wheat by
July l.
And the farmers are reaping the benefit Of this
increase on considerable portion Of last years crop
On April l the farmers still owned 178, ,354 900 bush
els of wheat 1126616OOO bushels of corn and 467,-
O48, 600 bushels Of oats.
The increase since April first on these farmer
owned grains amounted to well over $200,000,0O00O
and such amount, though not large when divided
between 100000 farms, is still enough to make the
farmers smile.
That represents the increase on but three items Of
the American farm crop Along with these, cotton
the great staple of the SOUTH shows healthy increase
It is also true of hogs of cattle of dairy products and
the total on all means tidy for each Individual
farmer who still any considerable portion of his
last crop
These things are of moment not alone to the far
ners but to the merchants from whom the farmer
buys To the merchants it means increasing opportln-
tiles for business not only because the farmer has
more money, but also because he has greater conf
deuce in the future. publishers Auxiliary

We confess to good deal Of trouble III figuring
out just what direction the Ship Of State is heading

Like almost everybody else, we are thoroughly
in accord with the effort remedy the outstanding
evils of economic situation so far as that can be
done by Governmental action. We applaud Mr.. Roose-

mortgage debtors, to put back to work in in
dustry, to keep the railroads running and the nsur-

We are somewhat concerned however as to the
means proposed to bring these things about. We do
not how it is going to be possible for the Federal
government for example, to 60 into vast schemes Of
reclamation, to make huge grants of funds for does
to the out of work to spend money on great programs
of public works. without increasing instead of light
enlng, the burden upon the taxpayers. We do not
think the Administration cOntemplates anything so
foolish to the revived credit of the Government
brought about by the balancing of the budget as a
means of punging the nation still deeper into debt
But we hardly see how the big enterprises which we
read about in the dispatches from Washington can
be undertaken without doing just that.
We have always regarded it as the sound Amer
lean principle that Government should content itself
with the protection Of the weak and the incompetent
against exploitation by the strong and the unscrpu

interest anything more than a square deal We do
not think the United States has reached the stage
where only paternalistic Federal power can save us
from the consequences of our own folly but we can
not escape reading that implication into some Of the
projects now under consideration in Washington

excuse that it might hurt his

secution, backed by other anti
farmer elements, is now advanc-
ing the proposal that Cochran's
trial be postponed until next fall
when the mass discomfort against
this outrage has ebbed into a law
abiding impartiality. If this move
is successful it means that fake
leaders and other sympathizers
can discourage future picketing on

to trial"

BIG BIZ AFRAID OF
FARMER

The great significance of this
case is that at every step of the
way the agents of big business
have shown that they are afraid of
the mass action of the farmers.
Cochran was first arrested in Iowa
and had to be extradited to South
Dakota. Thousands of farmers
urged the governor of Iowa not to
extradite him, but the farmers
wishes were not enthusiastically
supported by the leaders" Of the
Holiday Association and the Gov
ernor signed extradition papers.
The papers announced the date
when he would be sent to South
Dakota. Actually he was secret
ly sent across the state line a day
before the announced date. The
farmers all knew why.
Today was another example of
such trickery. The date of hear
ing as announced in the paper for
some time was March 10. Then
suddenly one day before the hear
ing the date was changed to Mar
10. This was a vicious effort to
keep the farmers from coming to
the court house. But the farmers
loaded up cattle trucks with mer
and got there at 9 o'clock in the
morning when the hearing was
scheduled to begin.
The farmers found that tn,
hearing was to be held in the small
room assigned to the sheriff al
though the court room upstairs
was empty. All doors to this
room were locked, and only witnes
ses, ETC., were allowed in to hea
the testimony.
The farmers hammered at tn
doors, knocked at the windows an,
! finally forced the sheriff to opel
up and let a great number crow,
: In. The room was on the groun
level, so all during the long pro
ceedings crowds of farmers jan
med the windows from the outsid
e where they could see their com
: rade, Cochran, although they coul
! not hear the proceedings. CocI
