FARMERS DON'T QUIT
Of all the elements in the American population the farmers were
worst hit in the inescapable process of deflation. Numbering almost
one-third of the entire population, they have borne altogether the
heavies burden since the fall of 1920.
They have endeavored to get relief by all lawful means. They
have appealed to the administration, to Congress, and to every othe:
Agency they thought night be able K help them, but whle mnkii;: the-se
efforts to avod ther heavy losses they have not struck.
. Ths most mportant face was emphaszed by Secretary Wallace of
the department of agrculture n an address last week before the local
farm bureau at Leesburg. Va. "The purchasing power of the wages
of the railway employee in 1021," he said, "was 31 per cent, greatei
than in 1913. The purchasing power of the wages of the coal miner
in 1921 was 30 per cent, greater than in 1913. The purchasing power
of the farm hand who worked for wages in 1921 was 4 per cent, less
than in 1913, while the purchasing power of the farmer himself was,
on an average, from 25 to 45 per cent, less than in 1913."
Secretary Wallace continued: "The farmers have not created
disorders. They have kept on producing and, in the face of extra
ordinarily low prices, have this year grown one of the largest crops
in our entire history. The fanner believes in law and order. He be
lieves in government. He believes in fairness between man and man.
He believes in working hard and producing efficiently. "
There is a world of truth in the following paragraph from his
address :
If other groups would do as the farmer has done our economic
troubles would soon be over. Trices, would soon be adjusted to their
normal relationship. There would be work for everybody and at
just wages.
Most of the trouble we have gone through within the past two
years is that so many elements in our population refuse to recognize
the truth as Secretary "Wallace so ably put it. They have not met
their obvious obligations. The most recent instances are the mine
operators an dthe mine workers. They were morally obligated to
produce coal. The railroad shopmen were morally obligated to keep
the trains moving in order that the country's food supply be not tied
up.
Obligations which are not voluntarily discharged will, soon or
late, be enforced by inexorable economic laws. Never in the world's
history has it ben possible to evade economic laws. Artificial laws
may prevail for a short time, but nothing is more certain than that
deflation which must follow every war cannot be escaped now. All
elements must keep on producing; just as the farmers have done this
year and as they will continue to do. Portland Telegram,

NEW TACTICS FOR UNIONS
The printers' union charges that violence in recent strikes has
been due to the foreign element that has invaded the ranks of labor.
That is probably true, but a sure way to avoid that menace in the
future is the thorough Americanization of the foreigner or their ex
clusion from unions.
Unfortunately the present leaders of organized labor afford a
mighty poor inspiration along that line. What is a newcomer to our
shores to -think when he find the head of organized labor in the
United States talking of a general strike in aid of another strike
against the decisions of a tribunal duly constituted by law! Such
doctrines are no different from the most radical thought of Europe
to which the immigrant has been accustomed. Strikes against the
government are of frequent occurence over there, and are always ac
companied by violence. What more natural than for the new ar
rival to conclude that similar means are employed in the United
States and strightway put his ideas into execution?
Is it not about time for Mr. Gompers et al to adopt new tactics?
Their course i nthe past has been essentially un-American. They
have flouted the courts, defied the government, and boldly advocated
strikes that had for their prime purpose the starving and freezing
of the people.
Mr. Gompers has occasionally condemned communism and bol
shevism, but many of the measures he has violently advocated have
been worthy of the worst chapters of soviet misrule. It is his de
nance of public welfare that is rapidly losing popular sympathy for
the labor movement. Let loee of country, respect for its laws, and
denunciation of violence be the governing principles of organized
labor and it would imraeditely gain in public esteem. There would
be nothing more to fear from the so-called foreign clement, and the
public, the lawmakers, and the courts would gladly contribute to im
provements in the wage earners' conditions.

mediocre quality scored di-tin. t sm
cesses because they struck at a ce'
tain time when that particular type of
entertainment was favored by the pub
lic taste.
To net a definite idea of what type
of entertainment was most popular the
Fox Film Corporation sen a question
naire to more than .100 newspapers
throughout the United States and Can
ada. The list of answers was so varied
thnt little knowledge could be pained
from them, except In one instance. Vir
tually every editor from whom an an
swer has been received declares the
public want melodrama, with action
and thrills.
Out of sixty replies received to date
forty gave first place to the melo
dramatic type of play with "thrills and
action.
This would seem to forecase imme
diately success for the William Fox
special production, "The Fast Mail," a
pictorial version of Lincoln J. Carter's
famous stage thriller of a score of
years ago and other such productions.
In fact it proves beyond doubt that
the American editors are in a better
position to feel the pulse of the public
than any other body of Individuals, for,
from all reports, "The Fast Mail." is
scoring a distinct .triumph in every
city in which it has ben shown.
It played to capacity business on
Broadway and followed that by scor
ing in other cities throughout the
United States.
Advance reports Indicate that Fox's
"The Fast Mail," has retained all the
thrills, romance, action and adventure
that marked the melodrama when it
was first presented on the stage more
than twenty years ago. But by careful
handling, according to critics from
other cities, it has ben made into a
picture that will please every class of
audience. This is the first of the fa
mous Carter stage plays to be pro
duced for the screen.

PROSPERITY WIDENS
Financial conditions in the United States are on a firmer basis
today than they have been for several years and, according to a re
cent report of the comptroller of the currency, our national banking
institutions are in "tetter position to take care of the requirements
of commerce and industry than they have been siiieo the signing of
the armistice.'' Coupled with this assuranc it is confidently nr...
dieted that by the end of the Meek labor employment will be normal.
In many localities there is a murked labor scurcity. With the
resumption of work this week iu many factories that have been idle
due to labor controversies, or inability to obtain raw products, this
labor will probably be emphasised. With our financial institutions
able to lend aid where needed, with labor .in strong demand, business

and powerful in the practices of

of the world. v
The corrupt are becoming more
scientific in their corruption, and
more determined to practice cor

facts confronting us.
FIRST The fact of sin. It is
the most stubborn fact, the most
awful fact, and the most destruc

SECOND The fact of salva

fact that is constructive, recVemp

THIRD The stubborn fact of
depraved, lost human nature. This
great entity known as sinful man
cannot be improved by external
processes; he cannot be redeemed
by education or evolution, or any
other of the delusions. He can be
saved only by the regenerating act
of the Holy Ghost.
It is the duty of the church and
of every minister of the gospel to
preach the awfulness of sin, the
absolute certainty and power of
salvation, the judgment that awaita
the unrepentant, and to denounce
with all the power possible the
hellish delusion that the world i
growing better.
Awake I Strike! Preach I And
reach the unsaved, for they are
growing worse not better.
