THE CORN; MAN'S PLIGHT
THE Producer, a paper published in Spokane in behalf of
WB' cooperative work; carried the following story in
, ill hmi of January 21 :
. , Council Bluffs, Iowa, Jan. 18. 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.

AN ANGEL OF MERCY;
TD make-up for protecting and shielding convicted million
aires from the consequences of their sins. 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

(Editorial In Athena -Press.)
It is plain to the observant that
prohibition is a great blessing to at
leaHt the smaller towns and cities. 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, .
