farmer. He Is the one who. by the manip
ulation of the soil. Its proper treatment.
Its drainage or Irrigation, Its fertilization,
Is to make it yield the largest crops under
conditions that will preserve It best for
future years of usefulness. Proper farming,
according to modern ideas Involves a
knowledge and understanding of the chem
ical qualities ot the soil and the scientific
methods of its treatment, so that Instead of
being a mere manual vocation as it was
years ago, It now has become a scientific
and practical profession. This has been
recognized by the general government ln
the establishment of a Department of Ag
riculture, where. In Its bureau of research,
the secrets of nature have been revealed In
the possible development of modern farms,
and proper publicity has been given, so that
those who till the soil may take advantage
of the new discoveries. Experiment stations
have been established the country over;
lectures have been given at the ex
pense of the government for the benefit
of farming communities; contributions have
been made to agricultural colleges, and
everything that wise statesmanship could
suggest has been afforded by the general
government within Its jurisdiction for the
production of greater and better crops. All
this legislation has been ln the interest of
the farmers and might be characterized as
elass legislation; but so great Is the general
publlo Interest ln the promotion of agri
culture that It cannot be termed uVduly
privileged or objectionable.
Federal Labor Laws.
"So, on the other hand, take the work-
lngman. The government haa created a
bureau of labor ln which statistics are
gathered and Investigations are had Into
the conditions prevailing in respect to all
elasses of labor, including child labor with
a view of making clear the remedies needed,
whether by state or national legislation.
The head of the Bureau pf Labor and the
chairman of the Interstate Commerce com
mission, under what is known aa the Erd
man act, intervene officially ln every dis
pute between Interstate commerce rail
way companies and their employes; and
the amount of good ln the settlement of
controversies and the stopping of disastrous
strikes that haa been done by Commissioner
Nelll and Chairman Knapp cannot be over
stated.
"Again, with respect to the employes of
Interstate commerce railways, a law has
been passed by congress making It easier
for the employes who have been injured
through the negligence of the company or
some other employe of the company to re
cover compensation for their Injuries. The
old common law upon this subject was
unjust to the employes and seemed to have
been In the Interest of the employer. More
over, congress has empowered the Inter
state Commerce commission to require all
Interstate railroad companies to adopt every
reasonable safety appliance In order to
reduce the deplorable loss of life and limb
among the railway employee engaged ln
and about the running of trains.
'Again, the alien contract labor law
haa been passed and strictly enforced with
a view to prevent the bringing from other
countries to compete with the settled and
established labor of this country pauper
labor under contract to serve at wages far
lower than the prevailing wage ln the
United States.
"Then there are the laws limiting the
hours of labor of government employee and
employers on government work to eight
hours and the sixteen hour law for the
prevention of long and continuous service
on railways by trainmen.
'Finally a bureau of mines has Just been
established in order that, by Investigation
and research and close observation of the
practical working mines, the best appliances
for preventing the enormous destruction ot
life that occurs from the explosion of
gases and fire In coal and other mines,
may be devised and adopted.
"This legislation is ln the Interest' and
for the benefit of a class the workingmen
but they are so large a class, and their
welfare is so Important to the public at
large, that while it might be characterized
as class legislation. It is greatly for the
purpose of weal and cannot be' denominated
privileged or objectlonal. We need, and I
hope we shall secure more of such legis
lation.
No Class Legislation.
"But there is a kind of legislation to
which I would refer that does come under
Uie head of vicious class legislation, and I
hope I can make the distinction clear be
tween this and what I have been describ
ing. A number of statute have been
passed In the states against combinations
or conspiracies to restrain trade, to sup
press competition or to maintain prices,
and there haa been sometimes an attempt
In Insert In such statutes a proviso or
a section exempting farmers or other
classes from the operation of the
statue so as to enable the exempt
classes to corner products and raise prices
while no other class ln the community can
do so. The supreme court of the United
Statea has said that such a law giving an
undue privilege to a particular class In the
community creates an unjust exemption
from the operation of a ua-ful law, denies
the equal protection of the laws, violates
the constitution and Is Invalid.
"Again, the federal anti-trust law has
been held by the supreme court to denounce
combinations, to obstruct or restrain Inter

state trade, and to prohibit therefore Illegal
boycotts to injure the Interstate trade of
any person. At the last session of con
gress. In an appropriation bill, some 1200.010
was appropriated for the enforcement of
the anti-trust law. To this appropriation an
amendment was proposed providing that no
part of the 200,000 should be used ln the
prosecution of working-men engaged In a
boycott ln violation of the statute. This Is
not tho way the amendment read, but that
was It's effect. A majority of the house
after a very heated discussion rejected the
amendment on the ground that It was
vicious class legislation.
"As a matter of fact, the money thus
previously appropriated to enforce the anti
trust law ha,d never been used for the
prosecution of workingmen engaged In such
boycott, because there was no occasion for
such use. and ln all probability tho money
now appropriated will never be used for
such a purpose, but It was the proper view
of the majority, who voted against the
amendment that on principle such a class
exemption or privilege should not be de
clared and approved In a statute of the
government I have not the slightest ex
pectation tl-at the money will ever be used
for anything but the prosecution of corpora
tions and business firms engaged In com
binations ln restraint of trade; but to tie
the hands of the executive against an un
lawful combination of workingmen or of
any other men. If such a combination ex
isted, and thus make any group a privileged
class of lawbreakers, Is neither Justice nor
wisdom nor good statesmanship,
his pocket showed Chat he came from the
Certain Critics Answered.
"But It Is said that I am not consistent
because I proposed to the last congress
that Interstate railroad companies be per
mitted to make temporary agreements last
ing for thirty days and fixing uniform rates
for traffic between the same places, and
to this extent be exempted from tlhe opera
tion of the anti-trust law. It was said with
great plausibility: 'You are opposed to ex
empting workingmen from the operation of
such a law, but you favor the exemption
of railroad companies.'
"The answer Is that Interstate railroads
are restricted much more closely and are
under much more minute observation by
the provisions of the interstate commerce
law than they can possibly be under v the
anti-trust law. The Interstate commerce
law thus logically makes tjhem a special
class to be treated by themselves. The
reason for my recommendation was that
the business of the railroads and the fix
ing of rates cannot practically . be carried
on without either an express or tacit agree
ment for uniformity In rates between com
peting lines for a short period. Otherwise
there will be a constant changing of rates,
ending generally' in a war of rates which
Inures to the benefit of no one. In order
to avoid any such. danger from exemption,
Ihowever, It was proposed that the tem
porary agreement permitted should only be
regarded aa legal and binding after ap
proval by the Interstate Commerce commis
sion. That commission, of Its own motion
or upon complaint of another, can find a
rate to be unreasonable and can change it.
Everything which the railroad does Is sub
ject to examination and correction by the
commission. No such rule applies ln tho
case of farmers or workingmen, or of In
dividuals generally. They have a right to
charge wlhat they choose for what they sell,
whether It be products of the farm or labor
ot their hands. They are under no super
vision In this regard. All that Is required
of them Is that flhey shall not violate the
geceral law applying to all persons; In the
one case, that the farmers Shall not violate
the anti-trust law that preventa them and
all others from going Into conspiracy to
ratee the price of products, and the other
which forbids workingmen as well aa all
other persons from uniting In a conspiracy
or general boycott to obstruct and restrain
atate trade.
"Thus the distinction made ln the statute
and judicial decision, when understood. Is
found to be in accord with the doctrine of
the square deal and to be based on the
same considerations of fairness an1 justice
as are transactions in every-day life be
tween honest and just men."
'This Is all very important td you and
to me and to every American who wishes
the prosperity of the American working
men to rest on enduring foundations.
Failure to think clearly and logically on
thla subject of special privilege breeds only
dlssentlons among men who are natural
allies. Do not try to secure It. On the
other hand, be watchful to prevent any
class ln a community from securing It. Let
us unite our common-energies and work
ing In harmony with the spirit of our fed
eral constitution and our democratic Ideals,
let us all, Irrespective of party, maintain
and better the social and economic condi
tions of all classes of our fellowmen.','

The families of the German veteran.
approximating 6.0X In numbers, brought
their basket-dinners to the park and
throughout the long day enjoyed them
selves as only true Oermans can. There
was dancing for the young, story swapping
for the old. and music and speech-making
for all.
Mayor Dahlman was the principal
speaker, making a strong nppeal for per
sonal liberty and promising that if elected
he would vote any county option bill or
other piece of sumptuary legislation which
might come beore him. ' He also compll-
metned the Germans highly as men who
had taken a mighty part In the building
up of our land.
The mayor could hardly speak for the
applause, and almost before he had fin
ished the crowd picked him up bodily
and carried him to the dining tent, where
tho women had prepared a sumptuous
dinner. At a straw vote taken later he
received every vote.

EXTRA SESSION? ROB AS POP?
( Contlued from First Page.)
republicans, who otherwise would vote for
Aldrlch will vote for Shallenberger .be
cause of the radical position the republi
can candidate has taken on all questions.
It looks to me as If Shallenberger has
everything to gain and nothing to lose
by accepting the nomination."
Mr. Bryan was ln the city yesterday
and several friends of the governor talked
to him about the advisability of Shallen
berger accepting the populist nomination.
Mr. Bryan would much prefer the extra
session, but he Intimated that If he could
not get that, Shallenberger as a populist
would be the next best thing,' though he
believed It would be a hard fight for his
excellency to come out a winner.
If you want tu turn a business proposi
tion quickly. The Bee Is the proper medium
for reaching the people who are interested.
