THE FARMERS' DAILY.
What is the matter with the farmers
that they want •10 start a daily paper of
their own ? Are they not getting plenty
of advice from the existing newspapers ?
That is just the trouble. The farmers
are heed of being advised by people who
do n t even begin to understand their
problems. They are tired, moreover, of
being told by politicians at elecnion time
how such and such things are to be done
for them. and then being forgotten be -
(ween elections. They want a newspaper
so that they may do a little "advising"
themselves, and so that their voice can be
heard not only at election time. when
representatives are elected. but also be-
tween elections when representatives are
'liable to go wrong.
Their effort for the establishing of the
proposed farmers' daily is greeted. as
might have been expected. with advice
,and cautions more or less wide of the
mark. How can farmers run a newspaper ?
Well. they don't intepd to recruit the
staff from the farms, although that is
w here some of the brightest and cleverest
newspeaer men have come from. It will
not be necessary for farmers to edit the pa-
per any more than it will be necessary for
fanners to -set the type and run the
presses. We have heard of Liberals edit-
ing Tory papers, and of Tortes editing
Liberal papers, and nobody objecting.
We do not know the plans of the pro-
jectors of the n w paper, but we fancy
they will look around for experienced and
capable newspaper men to conduct the
paper and will not insist that they have
hayseeds in their hair and calluses on
their hands.
But how will the men who put their
money in the paper exercise control of its
conduct and policy"? By the persuasive
' influence of the almighty dollar exerted
through the salary of the managing direc-
tor. He will be told --no. he will not need to
be told -that the'paper is to reprrsept the

the immediate future is the dispatching
THE SALONICA
EXPEDITION.
Now that the Allied forces in the Bal-
kans, taking advantage of a critical and
favorable condition of affairs. have, by
a well-planned and vigorous campaign,
achieved such success within a fortnight
that Bulgaria has begged for and been
granted an armistice of the Aloes on their
own term. it may be of interest to re-
view briefly the history -of the expedition
as told by Mr. G. Ward Price. the official
correspondent with the Allied forces, in

stand that. Farmers, of course. do not
think alike on all subjects. and there will
doubtless be some farmers who will say
the new daily does not represent them.
On the other hand -and this is the im-
portant point -there is a strong force of
opinion am req farmers which is essentially
united and which the farmers believe is
not represented. and apparently is sot
understood. by any of the existing daily
newspapers.
As to the prospects of financial success
for the farmers' paper. nobody can speak
with certainty. We should say that a
newspaper starting off aith the active
goodwill of tens of thousands of fainters
throughout the country should be fairly
certain of success : and even if the
promoters should never get their money
back most of them wou d be able to recall
le worthy objects to which some of their
savings had gone.
As for the townspeople, they ought to
welcome the new enterprise. They have
been giving the farmers so much free ad-
vice that it is about time they were get
ting some in return- and unless we miss
our guess they will get it when the new
paper is started.

Having in view the importance of leaving a suffi-

and not only all ea- supplies but a very
large proportio, of. the food also had to
be brought from Britain or France by
