The movement to cut corn acreage 60 per cent rn.IOfa,, Nebraska and. Kansas,' combined with efforts of cattlemen In ebraHka, Wyoming and Colorado to discontinue further breeding of stock , reeuers, has reached a concrete stage. The farm bureau federation of lows, Nebraska and Kansas and more than eighty county granges in the. three states have officially taken up the matter una are urging ail to comply. -inousanqs ot acres oi last year corn remain untouched and In many cases the corn is cribbed by the farmer only for his own ubo. i " Other factors which will materially decrease the corn production are -the , fact that half of the tenant farms will be vavcant this spring, since the renters have been forced to vacate as the result of euonomio conditions; many farm ers sun nave a part or tne lDZO crop in tneir cribs, and cattlemen everywhere are substituting sheep and stopping production of fodder cattle because of the corn belt ifarmeiv failure to purchase feeders to futten for the market. 'The.Westeri, Nebraska (SnttlamenV association announced today that all of Its members would cease breeding attle this spring In favor of sheep. The Northwent Iowa Farmers' association hus voted to plant only enough cornfor personal uso and to raise only enough hogs for their own table. Whatever may be the difficulties -confronting the northwest ern farmer they are plainly not so serious in character as the conditions narrated in the story, from Council Bluffs. , The wheat farmer did hot have a profitable year yet most of the wheat of Umatilla county has been sold and there is no disposi tion to cut down production this year in order to strengthen the markat.f i TJia average farmer is striving for the largest possible; yield at the lowest possible cost and in that course he is right.

Attorney General Daugherty has ordered a probe of retailers to un earth petty profiteers and thus divert attention from the real profiteers who are conducting business ? as usual at the old stands. I Such notorious profiteers as the Pacific , coasfc paper trust, the farm machinery combine and the oil monopoly are passed up to permit a grandstand play against the butcher, the baker, and the candle-stick maker for this is an era when we have less government in big business if not more business in gov ernment. r , y . When millionaire profiteers get into the toils, Attorney Gen eral Daugherty is as solicitous in their behalf as he was in behalf of millionaire disloyalists. His "confession of error" that feder al district and circuit courts deny exist, is ever hendy to atone and defeat prosecution undertaken during the wicked Wilson regime. Mr. Daugherty last week interfered in be- half of alleged ship-building profiteers at Portland, who are paid to have piled up great fortunes during the war, who re fused the government access to their books. .'These ship-builders, A. F. Smith and the Columbia River Shipbuilding corporation, and Joseph R. Bowles and the North west Steel company, declined to submit to a probe by the special agents of the department of justice, even though ordered to by the federal court. They were therefore held in contempt of court, find $2500 each and ordered committed until they deliv ered all papers and records in the case. Before the highest court could act on their appeal, Mr. Daugherty came to the rescue by causing the solicitor-general to again admit error and dismiss the, whole preceding so that the profits of the patriots are secure from the prying eyes of the public and the patriots them selves Bafe from proseeution. ; If this sort of thing keeps up, Mr. Daugherty will not need to WtlTPSS", PITni fni IVia ..!ll T 1-1 l; J. ,7r , v w,c y'ye win rium mm in error lor makinff 4vtjf ucivjc uie jaw a travesty on justice.'

A drunken man is seldom seen w-hero once he was an object so common as to excite no" comment unless he be came unusually obstreperous. The curse of the open saloon with all Its attendant evils is no longer with us. The bootlegger and the speakeasy have taken its place, to be sure, but they are lawbreakers. Their ' evil business does not have the sanction of KuvciiimvMi. b mu, tne case wim meiri licensed predecessors. Drinking may be Indulged In- as a social fad among those who never drank before, but a fad It Is and as suoh It will ultimately die out when the fact 1b driven home that the "best people" who drink are no longer re garded as .the best people by the sober minded majority. Such among the really substantial citizens of the coun try who Insist that "a gentleman must have his highball," are bound In time to see tho error and folly of their ways and Appreciate their responslbil Ity to the public. A few of the more wayward young people may Indulge In sly drinking and think It smart, but no longer Is the drink appetite nssld uously and constantly. cultivated am ong the young by the "live" saloon man with an eye to future business. When sa much Is said and written about the alleged failure of the 18th amendment, It Is refreshing to read an authoritative statement from Pro hibition Commissioner Haynes, show ing the good effects of the law. He cites twelve points that clearly estab lish the success of prohibition. He de clares also that arrests for drunken ness have decreased 60 per cent, li quor withdrawals have been reduced 50 per cent, while last year' Impor tation of liquor was one-half of one per Icent of the total consumption of liquor In America the - year, before prohibition. , The number of drinkers In the United States has decreasod from 20.- 000,000 to 2,500,000, ' according . to Mr. Itnynes, and the nation has al ready savftd the astounding sum of two billions of dollars on Its drink bill. Instead of ; saying that prohibition does not prohibit, .'t Is the average citizen's duty to help this remarkably good work. along by precept and ex ample, . JED SOLDIER SAN DIEGO, Oal., , Jan. 21.
