Cities to Take Up Idea of

Proposal Is Held Chief Objective of Joint Committee Behind
Plan to Aid Farmers by Stimulating Market for Grain
—Railroads Interested in Suggestion, Replies
From Heads of Systems Indicate.
Civic Bodies Elsewhere Offer Help in Movement

paign, agreed yesterday noon that their present chief objective is to
in putting over the proposed 25 per cent reductiin of all-rail rates on
enlist the co-operation of chamber of commerce and grain exchanges

While tliis objective is being pushed on a nationwide scale, the com
mittee will not lose sight of the idea that the stimulating of wheat and
flour buying is its underlying purpose.
Letters were sent tbis week to the
presidents of wheat-carrying rail
roads asking for their co-operation In
obtaining the export rate reduction.
^J^eplies have been received from J.
^ M. Kurn, president of the St. Louis

A letter was sent this week by
Chairman J. L. Kennedy of the joint
committee to Hale Holden, president
of the Association of Railway Execu
tives, Chicago. The railroad execu
tives who have replied indicate an in
terest in the recommendation for an
export rate reduction. The Omaha
committee hopes that a meeting of
the railroad executives will be held
in Chicago next week to discuss the
plan.
The committee will endeavor to ob
tain the aupport of organizations in
many grain centers, also of various
farmers’ organizations, such as the
American Farm Bureau federation,
and also of the governors of the
wheat-growing states.
’’This export rate reduction will
be an Important feature of our cam
paign," one of the grain men said,
"but we must not lose sight of our
slogan to buy wheat and flour."
Result* Shown.
Grain men of the joint committee
stated that 2,000,000 bushels of wheat
have been sold on the Omaha mar
ket since this campaign was started
the buying is going on every!
day, indicating that the Omaha plan
is bearing fruit.
George A. Robert# of the grain ex
change observed that the wheat mar
ket has been held from further de
cline since the Omaha joint commit
tee began to function.
Reference was made to John Be
kins, Gould Dietz, J. K. Davldsont

this campaign was launched. A Chey

The committee received letter*
from the following organizations, ex
pressing desires to co-operate, with
the Omaha plan to stabilize the
wheat market and help the farmers
who feel required to market their
wheat at this time:

Former President Says Spiri-^
tual Redemption Will
Avoid Revolution.
By OwUlfj rr«*.
Boston, July IT.—Former President
Woodrow Wilson, writing under the
caption, " The Road Away From Rtv
olution," for the August number of
the Atlantic Monthly, issues a note
of warning that our civilisation cannot
survive materially unless it bsN re
deemed spiritually.
"In these dreadful and anxious days
when all the world Is at unrest and.
look which way you may. the road
ahead seems darkened by shadows
which portend dangers of many
kinds. It is," says the one who com
manded the ship of state during the!
world war, "only common prudence
that we should look about us and at
tempt to assess the causes of dis
tress and the most likely means of
removing them."
Then avoiding the partisan as he
analyzes the existing state of Amer
. an civilization, the writer goes
briefly to the root of the matter by
making essentially what is a religious
appeal for n tauter understanding be
tween "the haves" and "have nots.’’
"Heal ground for the universal un
rest." he asserts, “lies deep at the
source of the spiritual life of our
time and leads to revolution."
The cause of the Russian revolu
tion. which he calls the outstanding
event of its kind in our agv. was. in
Ills view, a systematic denial to the
great bodv of Russians of the rights
and privileges which all normal men
deaire and must have if they are to
he contented and w ithin reach of hap
piness."
What his this to do With Aster
i,-a? It w is against capitalism,” he
declares, "that the Russian leaders
directed their attack, and it is against
capitalism tinder one name or an
other that tile discontented classes
everywhere draw their Indictment."
"The toad that leads away from
revolution is clearly marked, for It
Is defined by the nature of men and
of organised society. It therefore h*
hoot eg tts to study very carefully
and very candidly the exact nature
of the task and the means of its tic
contplishnu nt.' The sum of the whole
matter is this, tlint our clvlllantlon
cannot survive materially unless It
l>o redeemed spiritually. Here is the
final challenge to our churches, to
our politli :il organisation and to our
capitalists—to everyone who fenrs
Hod or loves his country."
