The South in che Saddle.

The South is exulting because one
Of its sons is found as acting head of
the State Department. Mr.. Frank l..
Polk, the new counsellor of the De-
partment, is grandson Of that
Leonidas Polk who was both bishop
of the Episcopal Church and a colonel
in the Confederate army-and South

morsel over their tongues the phrase.
Acting Secretary of State Polk"
The South has reason to exult
When Mr.. Polk heads the State De-
partment, the South can show almos,
a clear majority Of the Cabinet. AT
any rate an even half of the group are
Southern men: Polk of Tennessee,

A Period Of Rest,

The West is not looking for any
great gain in business because of the
loan to the Allies. and few bankers in
that section have subscribed for the
bonds. In fact. the bankers Of the
West are decidedly skeptical of any
pronounced boom in American BUSH
ness just yet. This is not because
there is no money-for the banks are
full Of money. Some banks in Chicago
are no longer seeking new deposits in
large sums because they declare they
cannot afford to pay the two per cent
Interest such deposits would draw.
The president of one Of these insti-
tutions on being asked how is busi
ness?" replied: There is no business"
This utterance and others of his SIM
ply mean that there is no progress in
American trade other than that caused
by the European war; that we are SIM
ply going through the ordinary process
OF production. feeding. clothing and

ing new. We are resting in our work
Of building up the United States.
Such a period Of sloth always ac-
companies the application of the
Democratic party's theories of govern
ment. We had such period from
1898 to 1897, when Clevland was in the
White House. We have been having
another such since Wilson came in.
We shall begin to have activity once
more, we shall begin creating things
again, We shall begin the work of
building up the United States again
when the Republicans come back.
That will be in 1917.

his next annual report to Congress he

Idle Men and Idle Land.

The Portland. oregon. chamber OF
commerce is seeking "a practical solu-
ton of the problem Of placing idle men
on idle lands" Certainly a great
problem and worthy Of study. but no
one remedy will be complete. There
are many things that would help. and
all combined would go far to bring idle
men and idle land together. For one
thing, every effort should be made to
make farming profitable. No man
likes to go into an occupation which
calls for the labor OF himself. his wife
and his children unless he sees strong
probability Of fair compensation.
There have been some happenings in
the last two years that ought TO shake
the confidence Of the American people
in the permanency Of profitable agri-
culture For instance. the enactment
Of the Democratic tariff law prompt
ly closed beet sugar factories and put
the sugar beet growers out of business.
Canadian and Mexican and South
American etockmen began: shipping
cattle into the American market, cut
ting the American farmers prices. Ar
gentine corn was sold in Illinois.
Chinese eggs flooded Pacific coast
markets. Dairy products began to
pour in from Australia and Europe.
The war put stop to most Of this
competition but the importations had
assumed a sufficient magnitude to
make any cautious man hesitate to go
into farming unless he is reasonably
confident of the continuation of war OF
the restoration Of a protective tariff.
There is no probability whatever
that foreign producers will be able.
even under free trade. to seize Ameri-
can markets completely and destroy
American production. What they can
and will do is cut the price the Ameri-
can farmer receives and make farming
Improbable. That means more idle men
and more idle land. Chambers Of COM
merce that are in real earnest about
diminishing instead of increasing idle
ness Of men and land in this country
will do we'll to discuss this question of
foreign importation from an economic
standpoint. even if it is associated
with politics, II is all Vsry we'll for
chambers Of commerce to avoid politi-
cal questions relating to individuals
but this question Of getting idle men
upon idle land in America is some
b thing more than politics, especially
when existing American legislation
tends to put busy men on busy land in
China. Canada, Argentine, Australia
end other countries.
