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.

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.

* Preliminary
like a bill of particulars. 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

President Hoover has arisen to the

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?”
