( It la sot very polite for a member of the administration to talk that way when th President himself ha told Congress that the farmers got them selves into trouble, but Secretary Wallace may not have thought for 1 the moment what th political effect F-of Ma statement would be. Hs was writing a report. He recited the fact -that the property of the farmer of -the united states lacks more than twenty -billion dollars of beinsr worth -as much today as it was worth whea she Democratic administration ended, i that more than a million farmers "were forced to give up their homes in single year, that 23 per cent of the farmers of the corn and wheat States . were bankrupt as long ago as .theJ nd of 1922, and that the percentage of tenant farmers who. lost their property was materially higher. Then came the confession that what the .President and other Republican lead ds have said about the incompetency oi larmers is not true, , , These losses," wrote. Secretary "Wallace, "have not been due to in efficiency on the part or farmers. .Practically all of them were incurred ay men who had been aoinsr iairiy well until they entered the period of lrastic deflation. The nation has suf .fered in another way.' The drastic economies which have become nee pessary on the farms have greatly re duced standards of living. They have ompelled overwork by the farmers, unaccustomed farm work by farm .mothers, increased work by chifdren kept out of school in too many cases the older children taken out for i.ood."

Little by little the true storw of Mr. Coolidge's part in the Boston strike has become known throughout the country and it does not fit the picture that the Republican propagan dists have painted of him. His silence and inaction during the revelations of crookedness in the naval oil leases and during the investigation of Attorney General Daugherty have confirmed the real account of his hesitancy and halting during the police strike until after Mayor Peters had suppressed the rioting and disorder on his own iniative and in spite of Governor Coolidge reply to call for cooperation that he the Governor could "not see any action he could take." G. 0. P. Says Small Merchants To Blame Small merchants are to blame for their bankruptcies, they are soon to be told by the Department of Commerce, which is broadcasting a document matter. RftH mnnftfrempnt In aatvip fnmn An. pears to be the cause of most of the j failures among retail merchants, the Department of Commerce says. But the Department does not inform these retailers that the Republican tariff taxes them and their business along with every one and everything else, that it has caused, a buyers' strike, that by increasing the prices of every thing the small merchant sells it forc es him to carry a bigger investment in stock and take a heavier risk when times are slack, and that his percent age of gain on the sale of a costly ar tide which "moves" slowly is no greater than his ratio of profit on a cheaper article which can be sold quickly. Republican leaders and officials in Washington began three years ago to tell the farmer that he was to blame for all his troubles that he was buy ing to much land, owning too many automobiles, spending too much mon ey on the education of his children, and investing in worthless stocks, and that if he cured himself f these ex travagences he would not be in dis tress. Now the little merchants are getting their lecture on economy and scientific management. The Old Blue Backers (From The Greensboro Patriot) Some of the old timers certainly did learn how to spell. Spelling was an important thing then in the schools. Nowadays there are so many other things taught that probably not as much time is given to spelling, and it is true, as The Observer says, that some people who are apparently edu cadted do not know how to spell. They know how to spell some words, nut some they do not. They are bet ter educated, of course, know more of more different things, but lots of them could find profit in getting a dic tionary and learning to spell better.

STOCK BROKERS WAGING CAMPAIGN FOR COOLIDGE Stockbrokers operating in Wall Street are conducting a propaganda for President Coolidge by broadcast ing letters declaring that his election will stimulate the stock market and create "higher prices." One big con cern resorting to this kind of a cam paign for Coolidge has headquarters at 165 Broadway and a branch office in the Ritz Carlton hotel, New "York. These letters, some of them going to persons who are neither customers of the stockbrokers circulating them nor traders in the stock market, are captioned "Daily Market Sugges tions." They are so framed that the inference is left in the mjnds of their readers that unless Coolidge is elected there will be a depression of the mar ket. "The prospects seem to be very good for a Republican victory at the November election and if President Coolidge is elected, believe we will have higher prices for stocks," says one of these letters bearing date of September 20. "His election will mean the same conservative and con structive policy of his past adminis tration will be carried out. "This should stimulate business, as all of the business men of the country have conhdence in him and his poli cies." The letter then urges "the people" to "accumulate good industrials and rai.lroa.d stocks in all reactions in an- i "C'Pauon oi a pre-election rise which should take place a little later." This is the kind of propaganda, it is pointed out that is spread by certain big financial interests centering in Wall Street to force the enactment of the Mellon tax plan, which would have reduced the taxes on the incomes of millionaires and billionaires while giving little or no relief to the small gain Weight If you are underweight us LEONARDI'S ELIXIR FOR THE BLOOD.

President Coolidge is said by Republican newspapers to have de clared his intention of viewing nis election as "a mandate" to repeal the present Democratic tax law under which more than six millions of tax payers have been benefited and sub stitute the Mellon plan, which would have given the largest measure of reduction to a relative few of the richest taxpayers in the country. it is commented also that the letter being spread over the country by the Wall Street brokers makes no re ference to an improvement in agricul ture if President Coolidge is elected and offers no suggestion for invest ment in any other than "good indus trials" and "railroad stocks." John W. Davis has expressed himself in favor of an amendment of the Esch Cummins transportation act which the farmers of the West are holding responsible for the excessive freight rates on agricultural products. Presi dent Coolidge is regarded as opposed to any change in the Esch-Cummins law. Democratic leaders are. predicting that a campaign of propaganda and coercion by powerful interests which want Coolidge and Dawes elected may be expected within the next few weeks. Already a big New York concern has adopted the plan of writing letters to its employes prac tically threatening that unless they vote for Coolidge and Dawes they will lose their jobs. mm after ever meal Cleanse) moath and teeth and aids digestion.
