HOY/ THE MONEY IS WASTED ON HIGHWAYS For about a month past, four men have been observed, occupied with repairing the State Highway north of Portland. There is a great deal of speculation among people who live in the vicinity, and who travel pVer this road, as to how long it will be until the repairs are finished. The best of the mathematicians have been ! figuring on it, and estimates vary all the way from a year to four , years. Of course a great deal will depend on the weather, for if a shower comes tip during the day, lasting for a few minutes, it means that the workmen climb into their closed car, for the travel De Luxe, with a fine closed car, and engage in a game of cards for

the rest of the day.

The repairing consists in putting stone and bar in the holes in the brick road, and in the past month, almost a half mile has been repaired. These Jour men and a raft of equipment have been sent’here from some place or other, and will probably be here until the job is finished, the length of time being largely a matter of conjecture. It might help some if the men would locate in Portland. Then they could work a full week, instead of having to start for their homes on Friday afternoon. It looks as though they would have a lifetime job anyhow, for at the rate of speed they are making, about the time they get the job finished, the repairs will be worn out, and it will be time to do it all over again. We note in the columns of our Republican contemporary that the sum of $1,881,912 was given by the state to the State Highway

WILL BEAT THE WHIRLWIND* h The Post-Democrat’s attitude in regard To the “Invisible Empire”,'’which is founded on opposition to Catholics, Jews and negroes, has inspired some to inquire whether or not the editor is a Catholic. He is not, most emphatically. From the standpoint of good Ku Kluxers like Cahill, Benadum and Sheriff Hoffman, he is possessed of the necessary qualifications to belong to the clown brigade, being a white native born, Gentile Protestant. Possibly if we'lived in some community wholly dominated by Catholics, and where the church of that denomination filled fell the offices with Catholics, we would 'unite, in some sincere movement to change that condition. If Muncie was in the hands of Jews, politically, solely for the purpose of exalting Jewry, we would be anti-Jew, locally. If the negroes were strong enough here to back the whites off the board and take over control of the city and county, we would be found on the side of opposition to such a condition. * We object to this vicious move in Muncie on the ground that no condition exists here which calls for a movement which is calculated to bring on civil war and bloodshed. This movement was fomented by a carpet bagger named Cahill who came here on his uppers and is now rolling in wealth and, driving a brand new, high priced car bought with the money of dupe who have joined this fantastic piece of buffoonery. Although there are many Catholics, Jews and negroes in Muncie, the voting population is largely white, Gentile Protestant, so the bogy that this fellow Cahill, and mountebanks like “Dr.” Fowler invoke, in order to shake down a few more tenspots, is merely a phantom produced from thin air, and kept alive by hot air. It is abominable that the greed of a few grafters should stir up a mess that is bound to plunge the city and county into uncalled for strife. They are sowing the wind and will reap the whirlwind.

MASONRY AND THE KU KLUX

Grand Master Prince, of the Masonic order in Massachusetts,

defending Masonry against the implication that that great order is connected in any way with the unlawful and upstart band of outlaws known as the Ku Klux, has issued the following statement

“Its avowed principles violate Masonic law at every point and

it would be impossible for me to conceive of a Mason who could so far forget his Masonic teachings as to affiliate with an organization which advocates taking the law into its own hands, condemning men and women in secret trials and imposing the punishment

of the whip, the tar bucket or unlawful banishment.”

> V. \

It is ineresting to learn by reading Pres& and Star editorials'; that there will be no Herrin massacres in Indiana. If these papers would take a hand in curbing anarchy in Muncie, the people here would take more kindly to their lopg distance prognostications.

We are still waiting patiently for Sheriff Hoffman to bring ; in that counter affidavit in the Court Asher case. Now that Bill Cahill has testified before a government tribunal that he really was a deputy sheriff, Mr. Hoffman, who appointed him, oug'ht to

know whether to make a counter affidavit or not.

Isn’t it a pleasant thought for citizens to know that twenty one Ku Klux deputy sheriffs, armed with guns and clubs, are snooping around Muncie, with their identity completely hidden

under masks?

• TO STUDY CONSTITUTION ^ Dixie, well known university of Sewanee, Tenn., has a requireme nt of its academetic decree that students shall have completed at least one years’ study of the federal constitution with special thought as to its founders and the interpretations placed on the constitution by the world’s highest authorities. This shows a growing appreciation for the greatest document of the country’s history. In years passed the average bojr and girl graduate' has had but a faint idea of what the constitution really is. Men and women have'accepted it as a matter of course, but in late years ce tain issues coming up through the war brought with it an awakening and since then there have been advocates of compulsory studying of the constitution. A knowledge of the constitutkn and its provisions mental law of the country is something all should have and in the public schoo’s is the best place to gain this knowledge. Study of the constitution brings with it an. appeal to patriotism and good citizenship and good citizenship is what everyone wants and the greatest need of every community. FARMBLOC.

Kansas Senator Outlines What Bloc His Done and What It Hopes For

Contends Its Action Required to Fend Off Gi^ive Economic Crisis.

BY ARTHUR CAPPER Editor’s Note—Arthur Capper is well known in national political circle:’, fairly well known-in practical literary circles and in Kansas is regarded as one of the “big men” of the nation, while farmers throughout the United States look to him as a leader in the attack on the serioQs problems that confront them. In the following story he sheds a light on the “agricultural bloc” that may give you a new understanding of its aims. The senator from Kansas knows his subject and has the courage of convictions.

The Ku Klux klan added to their reputation for peace and quietude this week by importing an alleged ex-nun, who has been stirring up anti-Catholic sentiment for so much a stir. Muncie will now be the stopping off place of all platform quacks and quackesses see in the “kotop” movement a chance to pick off some easy money.

/ COURTESY IN MOTORING

Just the other day one of the best known women living in the country in this community complained of treatment accorded to the rural resident by motorists from, the city. She said some of thesd motorists had little respect of rights of others and as an il lustration-spoke of parties passing her home last year stopping an carrying away apples from the orchard even knocking them from’ trees without asking permission and with no thought of pay. She wondered what these s^me city residents would think of similar treatment from people of the country. July and August are the months in which complaints regarding the motorists are heard most frequently from people living in the rural districts. There seems to be good reasons for complaint for there is a class of motorists who evidently loses all thought of courtesy on leaving the city limits. Camps are made on private grounds, refuse from meals left, fires built, without permission, fields are trampled and there is a long list of complaints made in regard to this class. Motorists who always regard the rights of others, are courteous in their requests, pay for what they take away find courteous treatment in return. They are welcomed on visits following and help make camping and motoring a pleasure. This class of motor-

For many years the United Stares government has been content to let agriculture take care of itself. There has been ho national policy of a constructive nature. Farmers have gone on producing under many handicaps that might easily have been removed. The result has been disaster that in tlie last two years has overtaken the farmers, caused billions of dollars in losses by shrinkage in the value oij farm products, and has been seriously detrimental to business throughout the land. Agriculture has been brought tor a point whCTSfits future is in peril, where it is hound to go backward unless real relief is forthcoming. The need of a constructive national program looking to the rehabilitation ot agriculture is regarded by the farm bloc as imperative. I think that fact is apprscid'fced by business men as well as by farmers. It is generally accepted that prosperity must come first to the farms before it can pre-' vail in the city, j Farm'ng is the only business left ; that buys at rezail and sells at wholesale; that pays what is asked when it buys and accepts what is offered when it sells. The farmer remains merely a producer of the necessaries of human life. After he has produced them other organizations take them over at their own price for distribution. This is true of no other important industry. The producer gets but one-third of every dollar paid by the consumer for the products of the farm. Our expensive and antiquated marketing system takes the other

two-thirds.

(f Small Farms needed.

The unfavorable conditions under which agriculture has been struggling have wrought serious changes in it. The hazards of the business have driven out owners and brought ir. tenants. Tenancy is increasing every year, and this is a menace to the nation, because it means, in the final analysis, that soil rapidly is being de^pleted, and little is being done on many acres to build up fertility. The average renter is not a soil improver. Farms are growing larger because land is steadily passing into the hands of capitalists and investors. The number of renters has not increased so far as the numbeg of acres they lease. While the proportion of rented farms increased three per cent between 1910 and 1920, the increase in acres rented

the land.

American agriculture has become the fqotball of the market manipulator and the market gambler, the legitimate good thing of the organized buyer and the organized seller, until at last it is breaking under the strain. Both producer and consumer are suffering from a marketing and distributing system 50 years behind the times, the only difference being that the producer on the farm is suffering from it a little more at the present time than usual becafise we are in the throes of a readjustment. He parts with his products long before the consumer sees them or needs them. A host of toll and profit takers meanwhile busy thenselves with these products, transferring them from hand to hand and absorbing as much profit as they with their skill at that sort of thing are able to extract from the marketing business.

Farmers Needed

We have just recently learned that for the first time in history we have more people working in factories than on our farms, although our population is increasing at the rate of one million a year. A study of the census returns shows that agriculture has * been the only interest to decline. In the last decade employment in manufacturing increased 20 per cent. The professions all shew a ircalthy growth. But we'are not keeping the boys and girls on the farm and we are not going- to until the conditions of the agric'nRural industry‘makes it woWh while for them to stay there. I The enactment of constructive, j wholesome, progressive legislation, j which will bring about better condi- I tions agriculturally and promotion of 1 a program in which agriculture occu. ! pies a leading though not necessarily an exclusive position, is the*mission of the so-called.farm bloc in Congress. As a member of that body, 1 think I j fnay say with perfect candor that j there is nothing dark, sinister, nor forbidding in its makeup or its pur- [j poses. It is not a political adventurer, Rs mission is economic rather than political. It is for things rather than against them, for tne city man as well as the country man. The reason for thp. bloc’s existence is a desire to serve the people and the nation in a time of need. It is working for honest industry, honest finance, honest commerce, honest agriculture, honest labor, and wishes to co-operate . with all of these, for they are the cor- ' nerstene on which we shall erect a truly prosperous nation.

President Approves.

The men making up the so-caU.ed agricultural bloc are not so fatr/ ous as to believe that the remedy for.- the distressing condition in the ag r'icultural districts today lies who lly in legislation or in governmental activity, but they do believe that t n e government, acting through th j President and the Congress, may do much to hasten the return of he? ,lthy conditions to agriculture.^ President Harding shares their belief^ as is witnessed by the fact that he, has signed every measure enacted by Congress at the instance of the far m bloc. The President publicly has indorsed other measures favored by the bloc which Feature Weekly—Ga'Jey 5 ,
