BUNION IvTlABEL SAT JRDAY, OC' WHAT IS NEWS? In another column the I km. Tradbr-JouhnaU today publishes an article written by J. S. Brooks, county farm advisor, which given to us as a report of a meeting held at the Millington Town J I all, Tuesday evening. Sept. -7. at which both the U. S. Cram Growers, Inc., and the Grain Dealers' .National Association had a speaker. W publish it not as a matter of news, hut at the requestj of Mr. BtOOks, as it goes far away from all recognized rules ot new-, and is a splendid example of insidious propaganda lor the U. S. Grain (irowers. Inc. The first element of news is t" report events exactly as they happen, as nearly unbiased as possible. In this article make your own comparison and draw your own conclusions, j In the first paragraph he says: "Robert X. ( lark in his usual clear.' straightforward, forceful way told of the origin of the committee '.0 17 and f the six outstanding faults ,n the present grain marketing system." Note that aside from the flattering reference t" Mr. (.'lark,: he does not qualify the statement in any way that he might indicate that the six faults referred to may be alleged or claimed faults, hut states positively that they are faults iy inference undisputed; when they may only seem so from his standpoint. He also makes the statement as part of the report : "As a result of the octupus, with its tentacles reaching practic ally every town of 5.000 inhabitants, by means of the private wires and wire-houses, we see man after man lose his honor, his property, and later see him go to his grave a suicide." And s,, on throughout the report. But read it yourself. Referring to Ham- K. Vtwood the representative of the drain Dealers' National Association he says: "'Mr. Atwood early in his speech made a mistake fatal to any pood impression he might have made. He. either ignorantly or maficioutly misquoted the contract and persisted in insisting he was correct. The spontaneous roar of disapproval which arose from his listeners assured him unquestionably that farmers were n t so ignorant about the contract." These are positive Statements which give one man's opinion as to whi ther or not Mr. Atwood did make the "fatal mistake" alleged. It may have had that effect with him, hut is there any assurance it affected all the speaker's hearers the same w ay ? Tie also says : "He dramatically unrolled a long string of paper on which, he informed the audience, the contract was written. The typewriting was double spaced, w ith w ide spaces between paragraphs and those who examined it. said it contained not only the contract, hut the articles of incorporation, by-laws, etc." Note the language and the impreSStbn it was contended to convey. In reference to the copy he says, "and those who examined it said." implying that he did not personally examine it and therefore did not know positively that his positively stated statements were correct. Nor did he explain that the Grain Growers' contract according to its Section 1 includes the contract between the I". S. Association and the Klevator Company, which it says is "made a part hereof as though copied herein." and that therefore a full copy of the contract should include at least both contracts. There is no use of going to further length on the subject. This paper desires to be fair to both sides, but does object to being put in wrong by publishing as new s a one sided report or matter that could leave but one impression. We have published articles contributed 011 both sides and are ready and w illing to do so, but they must be signed and published for just what they reallv are and not as news.

I - Sharp setbacks in the price of wheat have taken place this week, chiefly as a result of ac cumulating stocks, together with ah si net of any large demand from coun tries across the Atlantic. Compared I with a week ago, wheat quotations j this morning Were 5fC W 9c lower, j corn down 14-1 4C to 54o oatii on" ! 4e to 2c. and provisions varying I from $1.07 decline to 13.50 advance. With 5,000,0Q0 bushels Inoreaae in the weekly total Of the Fnited State,! visible supply and with an even I greater Increase shown for Canada, wheat bulls wore under a decided handicap, New low price records for j German marks counted as i further depressing influence, emphasising J.iaiish aspects of financial and 1ndn trial conditions, particularly unem- ! ptoynent Special notice, too, was taken of s cut in Ocean freight rates. forcing consigned wheal to be sold in Liverpool lie a tMlahel below replace ment ccst. On the other hand, speculative bu ing based on opinions that a rally had in come overdue w as apparently dis counted by signs that spring wheat farmers were marketing surplus gr.-iii with more speed than had been looked for. 't orn anrl oats fell with wheat. September corn touching the lowest price In nearly two decades. Pork advanced because stocks of that commodity here wei, .l. ust.d Lard and rih. however, were plenti lul and weak. I O .1 mmL T itin Vtu -rv- 1 9 Harkets Liberty Bonds. New York, Oct. 1.
