Another thing that get a our goat
ig the resolutions by farmers against
tfce striking railroaders. The farmer
Says that he works from twelre to
twenty hours a day and that be

that hs profits aie commensurate
(o (lie labor he puts in. You'll find
few-r farmers going to the wall than
you will find failurm In any other
line of business. The farmer will
hold up his hands In holy horror at
the thought of the railroaders strik
ing and will weep at the thought of
the millions in the cities that will
starve but every year, when he
holds his grain for a higher price
and they all do It how about the
suffering poor In the cities? The
farmer Is pictured as Nature's noble
man, denying to labor the right to
strike, and that high and mighty at
titude Is all bunk. Who guarantees
to labor enough money to live on?
Who guaranteed the farmer ft. 00
for Wheat, and raised the anie later
on the threat that production would
be reduced a virtual strike. The
striking laborer is Just In the same
position as the farmer who holds his
produce for higher prices both are
getting the most for what they have
to sell. And in times like these,
neither is to be condemned and
neither should condemn the other.

Speaking of remedies for adipose
tissues, commonly known as fat. Doc
Brady recommends somersaults. We
saw a life-site woman take one the
other day right in public.
She took it seriously, too. She
didn't laugh, but the bystanders did.
Attorney General Palmer is having
great success with his campaign to
cut down living expenses. Figures
by some bureau or other there are
lots of 'em In Washington say that
out of forty-four staple articles of
food, twenty-nine have advanced in
the past month.
Mr. Palmer has hopes of being
president. His chief claim will be
that he cut down the high cost.
Oh, well, his chances may not be
so rotten, after all. Who was it that
kept fJ out of war?
Today's best story:
This high price stuff reminds us
of the Omaha man who, after buy
ing a few supplies, paid the bill
cheerfully and said to the prop, with
the Itching palm: "Mister, you ought
to have a horse." Why so?" asked
the man back of the bar we mean
counter. "Well." said the Omaha
man, "J cape James had one."
Guess we'll have to take out our
nickel again.

More minutes fled, and the man

shifted his foot and his quid, and
waited. He'd evidently had waited
for numbers.
Finally, he spoke up again:
