Must the Farmer Pay the War Debt ? Minneapolis Journal: Franklin D. Roosevelt, in his first speech of the formal campaign, proposes to obtain payment of the debts which Europe owes to the United States by lowering tariff rates. Here in the Northwest we should August Mid-Month Crop Report Most of the corn has improved the* last thirty days, and the eastern third of the state is practically asured of a pood crop according to Bankers in their Mid-Month report to the State and Federal Division of Agricultural Statistics. Moisture conditions are very good in the eastern third of the state, but many areas in the remaind er of the state still need additional rainfall. Yields of oats are generally very good. Spring wheat an ! barley yields are fair. The corn crop in eastern Nebraska has made excellent recovery from the threatened drouth injury of last month and a good crop is practically assured in most of this area. The condition iof the crop in the remainder of the state is quite spotted, ranging from excellent to extremely poor. The low est condition is reported in the south western section of the state. The Pan handle and the south central counties, due to insufficient moisture, are below normal. The western and southwest ern sec ion of the state has not re ceived a good general rain during the past two months. However, local .. ■ -.■— ' <•> ^showers have been quite common so chat parts of these districts are ex pected to produce a fair to good crop of corn. The central portion of the state is also somewhat spotted but most of this area will produce good corn. The yields of oats are satisfactory over most of the state and this ciop is equaling the expectations of a month ago. Spring wheat yields are below normal. Yields of these crops are likewise spotted on account of local drouth sections and will show considerable variation between dis tricts. About three-fourths of the oats and winter wheat had been threshed by the middle of August ac cording to Bankers. The prices of winter wheat, chick ens, butterfat, and eggs have shown substantial improvement over a month ago, according to the preliminary estimate of Mid-Month farm prices. The price of corn shows no change from last month. Prices of hogs ai d beef cattle are slightly below the prices of u month ago. Other small grain crops and hay crops show a slight general decline.

Which tai jff-, pray, does the Democratic nom inee propose to lower ? The tariffs on butter, cream, milk, cheese, casein and other dairy products? The tariffs or. meats and lard? On the imported in gredients of butter substitutes? On flaxseed ? The tariff that protects our j sugar beet fields ? Recalling that the last Democratic tariff revision, the Underwood law, placed virtually all farm products on the free list, the agricultural North-1 west is quite warranted in demanding a list of the tariffs Governor Roosevelt .would lower. So also are other regions warranted in seeking particulars. — Herbert Hoover Ohio State Journal: Mr. Hoover's speech of acceptance is truly a re markable document. It so far trans cends the common conception of such! addresses as to permit of no contem porary comparisons. It is not a1 po itical speech but a treatise on gov ernment in an emergency, which re minds one of the state papers of such masters of old as Woodrow Wison at his best, of Abraham Lincoln in an-; other of the nation’s crises, of the philosophic grasp of Thomas Jefferson, of the practical soundness of George Washington. Inevitably the sane and sober mind- j ed people of America must gather from Mr. Hoover’s utterances the, picture of a serious and devoted public j servant, whose views and plans have been refined, developed and strength-1 ened by the testing fire of responsibil ity and necessity. Once hailed as a practical engineer who could lead the nation in what was believed to be endless material pros peri y, and elected as such, the Presi dent has been compelled by force of changing circumstances beyond the control of man or society to adapt him self to an entirely new role. It became his duty to become a student and master of civic fundamentals, of gov ernment in its essence, a savior of de mocracy in distress, if not peril; the economic burden bearer and inventor of means for recovery of the key na tion of the earth; the virtual bulwark of the established social order of the civilized world. How fully Mr. Hoover has succeeded in this unprecedented task his master ful speech reveals. His recitation of the causes and status of the situation, his outline of a program for economic reconstruction, his grasp of the prob lem and all its related involvements In The WEEKS’ NEWS KAYE DON GREET ED AT QUARANTINE —Kaye Don, famous English motorboat racing driver, wel comed aboard the S.

Litchfield, president of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, p hotographed aboard the S. S. | Olympic, on his re , ;urn from a survey of his company’s . European inter 1 ists. Mr. Litchfield < told ship news re porters he was much encouraged lover returning j confidence. stamp him as excelling all others who have ventured analyses or solutions. President Hoover has arisen to the occasion like some American always has in every national crisis. He is trustworthy. A Subdued Garner? To what fount of wisdom did Speak er Garner go on his recent trip to New York City and Albany? He boiled over with defiance of the President and the Republican party generally during the closing days of Congress and on his return to the Texas sagebrush im mediately thereafter. It looked as though his loose talk might make him the main issue of the campaign. There intervened a fishing trip. Then he came north to consult Governor Roose velt and the party management. An assistant was provided to accompany him and to advise him—to interpret for him the Eastern mind—during the remainder of the campaign. Next we find him in Washington, on his way back to Uvalde, on the banks of the Rio Grande. Does he show any anxiety to get out on the hustings to scourge his political opponents ? Quite the contrary. He will remain quietly in Texas until “the latest possible date.” There is such a thing as doing too much talking. It might be better if he went fishing until November. All we have to do to win is to make no mistakes.” And, as if emphasizing that such danger occupies a prominent place in his mind, he consolingly quotes an ananymous Republican friend as expressing the belief that “Roosevelt and I combined could not make enough blunders to prevent our election.” Anyway, he will take no more chances. The Speaker will not lay himself open again to jibes such as Represent ative Wood, of Indiana, has hurled in his direction. He was quoted as say ing, “I have always done what I thought was best for my country, nev er varying, unless I was advised that two-thirds of the Democrats were for a bill, and then I voted for it.” “Folks out my way,” the impish Mr. Wood has written, “want to know if this means you are for the good of the country except when you vote as a Democrat, or do you mean that you put your party ahead of your country, or are you simply trying to explain why you went ‘haywire’ during the last session of Congress, if if so where does that leave the Democrats?” Two O’Neill Men Sentenced In United States District Court in' Omaha Wednesday morning two O’ Neill men were before the bar of justice. They were Wilton Wyant and Alvin “Buz” Bowden. They were charged with a violation of the White Slave traffic act to which they plead guilty.
