THUKHDAY, MARCH 4, I«o
AWAKKMMi OF THE fllAXT.
Our great American giant Iras
been sleeping since the early days of
the republic, but now he is beginning
to etlr.
This giant ia the American farmer.
A committee of seven prominent
(arm organisation leaders has been
appointed to quit all presidential as-
pirants as to their attitude toward
matters which the farmer considers
of paramount importance.
Their reports as to the attitude of
thcee candidates will go out to the
millions of farmers all over the Unit-
ed States, and will have much weight
with the tiller of the soil when he
toee to the polls to vote.
We fear there are some uncom-
fortable hours ahead of our friends
and candidates. They are reasona-
bly expert In satisfying big business
and organised labor, for both get the
gravy when they make a big roar.
But Just how the candjdates are
going to satisfy big business and or-
ganised labor on one hand and the
farmer on the other is a mystery dif-
ficult to solve at this stage of the
game.
And the farmers, hanging together
can relegate any candidate to the
scrap pile In the bat of an eye.
Tough on the candidate? It touch
es them on the raw.

are supporting the paper when you

yon can support the paper by com-
menting favorably upon the paper's

Supporting a paper in the true
sense is no act of charity. Your lo-

porting It or do you merely take it?
The registration books are now-

t.v of commodities brought about by
this situation has been followed by
still higher prices
Some concern is being expressed
over the outflow of gold to South
America and the Orient which is now-
taking place in considerable volume,
especially since this exportation co-
incides with a period of lessening
gold production in this country and
with u time when more gold than
ever is being absorbed for industrial
uses.

SLEEPING AGAIN.
England is losing no time. Al
though staggering under a mountain
of war debts, and with her currency-
depreciating at an alarming rate, she
ia even now at work building up an
enormoue nary of the air for her pro-
tection in the next war. which many
thinking people agree 'is not many
years away.
England will not be caught nap-
ping—she wil take rare of her own.
But what of America—the country
loet the least and gained the most in
the great war?
We are sleeping again.
We are doing nothing and probab-
ly will continue to do nothing, until
our backs are to the wall with a
mighty hostile air fleet closing in on
ua from every direction.
Then, aa in the past, we will sud-
denly wake up, rush feverishly into
all manner of criminal extravagance,
pay a hundred fold in the useless sac-
rifice of lives and the squandering of
billions of dollars in money, and
flounder out of the mess the best way
we can—provided we have an ade-
quate air fleet with which to tight.
But If we have none -well, the
story will soon be told

Just at present the financial, in-

exchanges, this development has
tended still further to aggravate a

The church Is the mightiest agency-
on earth for theg-eallzatlon of human
progress. If you are not for It, you
are wittingly or unwittingly blocking
the wheels or progress. Whether
you are a believer in the church or
not, if you are not a regular church-
goer. your influence and the testi-
mony of your life Is against the
church and thus against the truest
progress for the community, state
and nation.

When the talk turns from politics to railroads,
and the traveler with the cocksure air breaks
in with, “There’s* an awful lot of ‘water’ in
the railroads,” here are some hard-pan f«§ts
to give him:
l
American railroads have cost $80,900 a mile
—roadbed, structures, stations, yards; termin-
als, freight and passenger trains—everything
from the great city terminals to the last spike.
A good concrete-and-asphalt highway costs
$36,000 a mile—just a bare road, not count*
ing the cost of culverts, bridges, etc.
Our railroads couldn't bo duplicated to-
day for $150,000 a mih.
They are capitalized for only $71,000 a mQe—
much less than their actual value. Seventy-one
thousand dollars today will buy one locomotive.
English railways are capitalized at $274,000 a
mile; the-French at $155,000; German $132,000;
even in Canada (still in pioneer development)
they are capitalized at $67,000 a mile. The
average for all foreign countries is $100,000.
Low*capitalization and high operating effici-
ency have enabled American Railroads to pay
the highest wages while charging the lowest
