and unprincipled press, etc., , etc., etc.," always ending with the
touching tableaux of the pure mid undefjled Julius, .with the
torch of light and learning in one hand, and the sword of right
eousness in the other, defending the dear people of Oregon from
the murderous onslauglis of- thesa vermin-bitten monsters.

Sounds far fetched f Yes. but when the facts are known it

Undoubtedly the craze' haa been
foatered by If indeed it la not
entirely built on publicity. The
"ondurera" like to see their names

many of them are hoping to win
movie or vaudevJI:o contracts. I
And most of the newapapera are
exploiting the phenomena for ll

But newspapers have a respon

to recognize It when they pubUah

bo necesaary. The proper mixture
of ridicule and. .condemnation . by
proas and public .would soon end
foolish und harmful "endurance
contests," where parents lack the
neceasury wisdom. And possibly,
too, parental wit may find ways
to turn youthful energies into use
ful channels, although so far we
have heard of no new ''endurance

this that new nnd hotter legisla

measurably .true, although the
layman in his ignorance Is apt- to
believe that wo shave sufficient
law now and that Improvement
Is . a matter of enforcement, of
simplifying court ; procedure and
of making legal proceedings, es
pecially, criminal proceedings, less
of a game of wltM -and more ff
matter of , the administering ol

Declaring that private interests
are fomenting opposition to the
farm relief act because It has cut
Into their business by working
better than they expected. Hugh
J. Hughes, education director of
tho Minnesota Cooperative Mar
keting association, urges farmers
of the ccuntry to give the plan n
fair trial. He made. In effect,
these statements:
Farmers who have used the
marketing machinery set up by
the plan have already derived
largo benefits from it. while those
who have not used It have no one
to blame but themselves.
The success of the act 19 up to
the farmer himself. The govern
ment cannot compel him to use
the marketing machinery and as
sistance available under the act,
and the plan will not succeed un
less ho docs use- them.
S'Mable progress flap been made
the past year, but setting up a
terminal marketing facility as
outlined tn the act la a long-time
Joti. and at least ten years -will
be required before it will operate
smoothly.
Most of those who denounce
the plan are either private inter
ests that are nfmid It will work
too well, or polltioliiins who prom
