Today “Revolution” Talk. There Won’t Be Any. Hung Up by the Ribs. Wilson and Magnus Johnson. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE j There is more talk than is neces sary about revolution in the United States. Magnus Johnson of Minnesota thinks revolution of the Russian style might come. And Woodrow Wilson takes the trouble to write an article on “The Road Away From Revolution.” Revolutions come after unsuc cessful wars and in countries where the people have no vote. In the United States the people do vote. If they can’t settle their problems by thinking and voting, could they do it by shooting and hanging each other in revolution? Hardly. Magnus Johnson has just car ried through a successful ballot revolution, beating republicans and democrats in Minnesota with 90,000 to spare. What makes him talk about revolution of the Rus sian kind? With the vote, the law of eminent domain and power to amend the constitution, the people can do what they please. Those that see an imaginary revolution offer imaginary reme dies or preventives. Woodrow Wilson thinks religion, a spiritual revival, might save' us. The most deeply religious country in the world was Russia. And that’s where the latest revolution broke loose, with 150,000 radicals dragging 125,000,000 into it. Revolution, when it comes—it won’t come to the United States in this century—is not easy to deal with. You can’t coax it away with praises or gentleness. The peddler of cakes whom Peter the Great made his all-pow erful favorite, showed how to check revolution when it started. He quieted an uprising against the tsar in the latter’s absence, swiftly. He seized at random 200 men in the mob “and hung them by the ribs on iron hooks in the Red square.” Two hundred revolutionists hung up by the ribs, squirming and yelling, will do more than any spiritual revival to cure revolu tion. But why encourage unbalanced minds by discussing and suggest ing revolution in a country that is just learning to use the ballot? Some of the politicians are agi tated by Woodrow Wilson’i essay on revolution, thinking it means an extra radical—religious—spir itual bid for a presidential nomi nation. The same politicians are disturbed by La Follette, who says he will start a third party if a reactionary is nominated, and in cludes President Harding among the reactionaries. There isn’t much doubt that La Follette has power to kill the republican party in 1924. You are going to see a very mixed up election. You are not, however, going to see any revolution or anything like it. In the first place, as Mr. Mag nus Johsnson should know, farm ers never start revolutions. They fight against them. Occasionally, they hava revolutions forced upon them and accept the situation when they find that it means giving them land formerly owned by the nobles, as in France and Russia. Mechanics don't start a revolu tion when they are making from $10 to $20 a day. Rough labor in cities doesn’t start a revolution when the lowest wage paid a hod carrier is $7 a day. What ia needed in the United States is less foolish talk and more definite action to dispose of va rious pressing problems. If mine owners and workers refuse to agree, regardless of the public wel fare and need of coal, there should be some one in the govern ment with brains and energy enough to operate the mines and distribute the coal. If doesn’t take a revolution to do that, only com mon sense. If the low price of wheat is so serious, that could be arranged, without a revolution. In war time the government said to the farmers, "You can’t have more than $2.25 for your wheat, when the farmer might have had $4 or $5.50. Why can’t the same government, in peace time, say to the farmer, "You shall have at least $1.25 for your wheat?” Paternalism? Socialism? Not at all. A government that could spend fifty thousand millions in one year to help settle the troubles of Eu rope in war, should spend what is necessary to settle its own trou bles in peace. In his little essay on revolution Woodrow Wilson expresses deep grief “that capitalists have often seemed to regard the men whom they use as mere instruments of profit.” That’s said. But things used to be worse. That same Peter the Great on his first visit to Germany as a young man, saw for the first time an instrument of torture called "the wheel.” It was explained to him that criminals and those “put to the question” were stretched around the wheel and their bones broken with heavy blows. Deeply inter ested, Peter said to his hoyalhost: “I should like to see that thing work, for I mean to use it in Rus sia. Kindly get somebody and break him on that wheel.” Peter was much astonished when told there was not at hand any criminal deserving of such treatment. “Why so much hesita tion?” he said. "Here, take one of my servants and try it on him.” W« have improved on that;even among capitalists. Cop>ri«k4 tm. Farmers Seek to Throw Off Britain's Hold Control of Tobacco Market and Discrimination Charged —Senator Urges Eco nomic Freedom. Kingstree, 8. C., July 30.—Two thousand tobacco farmers who listen ed to an address by United States Senator E. D. Smith of South Caro lina, at a great barbecue held In celebration of the success of the To bacco Growers' Co-operative associa tion in its first year of marketing, have begun discussion of ways and means of attaining economic Inde pendence. The senator hinted strongly at the domination of South Carolina tobac co markets by British financial In terests, and mentioned the Imperial Tobacco company of Great Britain as a powerful factor in setting the price for the labor of the farmers and their children. Says England Dictates. “We fought England because we had taxation without representation; fought for it, and won, yet when you come to selling the product that the education of your children depends on, you haven't any more to say about it than a Hottentot in Africa. We sit down here like dumb, driven beasts and allow all others to dictate what we sell it for. We sit down hers and allow others to dictate to us what our wives and daughters are worth," declared Senator Smith. The senators Intimation that an tagonism of the Imeperial Tobacco company of Great Britain to co-op erative marketing is thwarting efforts of thousands of South Carolina's farmers to Improve their living con ditions injected a new note into the war between the exponents of mod ern marketing methods and the old system of auctioning off tobacco. The smouldering resentment of more than 1,000 organized tobacco farmers against the British company, which buys approximately one-third of the South Carolina tobacco crop, but has declined to purchase any of the product raised by half of the South Carolina planters who compose the Tobacco co-operative association, has been fanned to a flame. r Co-Operative Marketing Opposed. "They know that if the farmer ever gets this co-operative marketing go ing the happy days of skinning you alive are gone," Smith told them, re ferring to the British interests. He urged the farmers to perfect their co-operative marketing association, combine In their own corporation and get some of the profit being made. The question of British domination which has so stirred South Carolinians has national and international signifi cance, because the organization against which the Imperial Tobacco company la alleged to have discrim inated is the largest farmers' co operative marketing association in America, with a membership of 90,000 planters In the Carolinas and Vir ginia. Cotton farmafes of the southern states with cooperative organizations, several hundred thousand of them, also believe that Liverpool and Brit ish interest* largely direct the prices of American cotton. Although a new note has been In jected into the present struggle be tween co-operative and speculative factions in this state, it has stirred a responsive chord of memory In minds of men whose forefathers followed Marion and Sumter and fought at Cowpens. 10th Vessel on Reef. Vancouver, B. C., July 30.—The tug Tyee of Seattle was reported today to have piled on a reef somewhere in the Strait of Juan de Fuca in a dense fog, making the 10th vessel In trouble in these waters in four days. Baby Abandoned on Doorstep Gets Happy Home in Hospital Little Janet Camille Lives Con tentedly on Bottle in Crib in Infants' 3»ard— Never Cries. Baby Janet Camille, found aban doned Saturday on the steps of the Morley apartments, has settled down to a philosophic acceptance of the world Into which she was thrust un desired, In the sunny babies’ ward of ths Methodist hospital. She takes kindly to a bottle diet, sleeps, and makes nobody any trouble. Some fear was expressed at the hospital lest a child so young would not thrive on a bottle diet. Janet Camille Is certainly not over two weeks old and some guesses make her considerably younger than that. But Janet settled the difficulty by accept ing the bottle as unprotestingly as she has met all the other changes in her brief life, and cuddling down In perfect confidence that the world would use her well. Even when left all morning in a closed hamper on the apartment house steps. Baby Janet had not lifted up her small voice to complain against such mys terious treatment, and now she acts as if she had some Inward knowledge that “God's In His Heaven, all's well with the world.” Janet Camille's confidence in the world seems to be Justified so far, for Rev. R. B. Ralls, president of the Nebraska Children’s Home society, who has charge of Janet, has received Janet Camille. eight or 10 offers to adopt the child. NO decision has been made yet. The parents who do not get Janet need not necessarily be disappointed, for the Nebraska Children's Home society wants homes for 10 or 12 babies between the ages of 1 week and 3 months whom it now has in Omaha. Six of these little ones are being cared for at the Methodist hospital along with Janet Camille. Any one interested in these babies should write or telephone to the Ne braska Children's Home society, 601 Omaha Building and I.oan block. Railroad Heads Act on Grain Export Plan (Continued From Face One.) ing a desire to co-operate with the Omaha plan, asking for details or expressing opinions on the wheat situation: Chicago Board of Trade; W. H. Finley, president of the Chicago A Northwestern railroad; Vernon Rice, cashier of the Fanners State hank. Chapman, Neb.; F. P. Manchester of the chamber of commerce of Hutchison, Kan.; J. A. Johnson, sec retary of the chamber of commerce at Sidney, Neb. Secretary W. A. Ellis of the com mittee reported that he addressed copies of the following letter to 300 chambers of commerce, farmers' or ganizations, trade associations, gov ernors and other organizations and persons in 18 grain-growing states: The Omaha Chamber of Com merce is advocating an organized nation wide movement to assist the farmers in marketing ttieir wheat. The farmer is the foundation of our national prosperity. It must he to the interest of all of us to help him get a fair price for his product. Buying Is Urged. We urge the following as an immediate practical plan: 1. Create, a national movement to buy a thousand or rriore bushels of wheat or bag or barrel of flour.” There is a potential purchasing power throughout the country, which, if exercised, would In 30 days t evolutlonize the price. With holding wheat from the market is desirable and should be In every way encouraged. However, many producers must sell Immediately after harvest. The market for their wheat can be sustained by a gen eral buying movement. 2 The railroads have been re quested by a special committee of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce to establish immediately emergency rates on w’heat and flour for export, to expire January 30, 1924. from all points in the United States to all Atlantic, gulf and Pacific ports, on the basis of 75 per cent of the rates now in effect.

The resulting ef fect on domestic prices would be immediate and favorable. Of course the revenues of the railroads would, for a time, be diminished, but the benefits obtained would more than offset the reduction. In creased prosperity of the farmer would stimulate business and traffic on the railroads. Much of the agita tion against the railroads would cease. We strongly believe that favor able action by the railroads on this request would do much to stabilize conditions and bring about general prosperity.

We also ask you to use your Influence to get public sentiment solidly be hind this entire program. Will you please wire at our ex pense whether or not you will give your active cooperation to the movement? Grain Exchange Commended. .1. W. Shorthill. secretary of the Nebraska Farmers Co-Operative Grain and livestock association, sent the following letter to S. S. Carlisle, preai deni of the Omaha Grain exchange: Mr. S. S. Carlisle, President Oma ha Grain Exchange, Omaha, Neb.: Dear Mr. Carlisle—The Omaha Grain exchange is to be highly commended for Ha earnest efforts to secure a better price for the farmers' wheat through an Increase in the buying power and a reduc tion in freight rates on wheat for export. This is a proper move at the present time and I heartily approve of it on behalf of the farmers in this territory, because in purchas ing power the value of wheat is very low. On account of damage to the crop a considerable amount of low grade wheat will be offered to this market. The field must be thoroughly searched for outlets for this wheat and especially for the lower grades. With these conditions In view, I suggest that it will be consistent with tliis movement, that it will secure greater economy and facility in handling the wheat, that it will broaden your market and secure more money for the farmer if your organization will withdraw the rule which prohibits handling grain on your market on shippers’ weights. On behalf of the farmers of this territory, I request that your organ ization take this action at the earliest possible date. Peril of Forest Fires Unchecked Yale Devoting Much Time and Effort to Providing Men Trained for Work. New Haven, Conn., July 30.—Even with the federal government adminis tering 160,000,000 acres of forest lands and with 28 states taking care of timber growing within their borders the fire problem on that woodland has not yet been mastered, says Henry S. Graves, former chief of the United States forestry service and now dean of Yale forestry school. Dean Graves has just pointed out that the amount of timber used and destroyed every year In the country Is four times as much as that pro duced. and if this condition persists the effects on Industry are bound to be serious. There are now over 200, 000,000 acres of forest lands without protection from fire. Incidentally, Dean Graves points out, 19 schools of collegiate grade are turning out men to take charge of these forests. Yale’s forestry school will, in June, occupy Sage hall, probably the largest building in the United States devoted to such work, and the school has three school for ests well located, stocked with tim ber and covering some 3,000 acres its endowment is nearly 11,000,000, and It has 16 full time professors.

In that earlier utterance there were such significant sentences as: “There Is nt> magic wand that can be waved to cure the ills that confront us In Europe. They are the problems of the states abroad. We cannot dictate: we can only advise. "But we can have a policy, a wise, helpful policy, on each and every one of the problems in which our home people are Interested, and we can pursue that policy In an open, courageous and helpful way for the ultimate peace of the world and for the prosperity of our people at home. “Stability of government In Europe is almost as uncertain and Insecure as stability In finance. There are more causes of war existing in Eu rope today than there were In Janu ary, 1914. We are not a party to the causes of strife as they exist to day In Europe, and theoretically it certainly Is not necessary for our country to become Involved.” Senator Underwood came nearest to expressing the orthodox Wilson point of view in the concluding sentence, in which he said: "Our nation can do more than any other great country today, because of its Isolated position, Its unselfish position when the war closed, and Its great potential powers, to establish permanent peace, but we have done nothing and are doing nothing to aid the peace of Europe." Must Have Firm Policy, Yet another recently returned ob server, Edward G. Lowry of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, recalls Senator Underwood's point of view and subscribes to it himself. He says: "Senator Underwood drew the Inescapable conclusion from all that he saw that the United States can only' tie of aid in restoring the dis ordered old world when we have thought out and agreed upon a defi nite European policy. "That is a conclusion that every one who has studied Europe in its present unrest cannot but reach. Everyone is agreed that we should not share in European politics at this Juncture. Even Europeans are be ginning to understand, and the more intelligent of them to applaud, our recoil from participation in their po lltical affairs. The keeneat mind* among them do not believe that our withdrawal ia permanent." The finrfl leetlmony thia week came from George M. Reynold*, chairman of the board of director* of the Continental and Commercial bank of Chicago, Juat home from ail months in Europe, who aaid that he "hoped for the best, but feared the worst. The best thing for America to do to keep ita hands out of the European affairs. The best thing for the United States to do is to keep its money at home, where it will be needed.” World Court Beside Point. In the light of what la said by these -other men, and of the angle from which they approach the subject, one sees that Senator Johnson's speech, although it was more widely printed and had more publiq attention than the others, was really much less ade quate. Senator Johnson really was talking behind the point. Having American politics largely In his mind, he dealt chiefly with the Interna tional court. And at the present moment'the In ternational court, so far as Europe Is concerned. Is something on the side. In 10 weeks of conversations with men in responsible office and leaders of European thought, the present writer never heard the International court mentioned onre. We talk cif It a great deal at home because Hard ing has made it an Issue. But Eu rope sees It as something entirely useful in its way, but, for the mo ment. relatively unimportant. In the same way the league of na tions never came into any conversa tion the present writer had urdess he introduced it himself. In the present phase of Europe, the International court and the league of nations are both Institutions useful enough but outside the main current of events. The real question in Europe, which Senator Underwood and Mr. Key nola has in mind, is the occupation of the Ruhr, the tension between France and Britain because of that occupation, and the Impending break up of Germany. V. S. Can’t Prevent It. That is the thing which American visitors believe the United States can do nothing to prevent. All these vis itors believe that the next phase of Europe will he extremely dlsastroi-i to American commercial and financial Interests. But practically without ex ception they believe there Is nothing the American government can do to prevent It, and their counsel to the American government Is to follow \ policy of non-participation. There are now in Europe a larg^,^ number of American public m«r,. Most of them went there with the Idea that European affairs, the Amer ican economic condition arising out of European affairs, and our forelg i relations generally, will be an issue In the American presidential situa tion next year. They went to Europe to equip them selves with Information for discussing this Issue when it comes up. With comparatively few exceptions the writer believes, after having talked with many of them in Europe, that when they come home, so far as they feel free to talk frankly, they will take the same line as Senator Under wood and most of the others already home. {Copyright 1I2J) Farmer Is Killed ^ hen Plow Hits His Appendix Oconto Win., July 3« — Alfred Nel son, 40, prosperous farmer, of th <3 community, was almost Instantly killed when his appendix burst after a plow handle struck him in the side.
