MORE WHEAT rs NEEDED.

Shall the great wheat growing nations OF
the world be compelled, by a precarlous food
supply to put governmental premium upon
the raising of wheat? Shall new wheat belts
be developed Shall there be concerted, au-
thoritative efforts, in all parts OF the civilized
world, to augment the production of wheat?
The present disquieting shortage in the
worlds supply of this staple cereal makes
these inquiries pertinent. The United States,
in particular, may find it expedient to urge a
great increase in wheat growing and to educate
our farmers as to the imperative need Of Civ
ing this country and the world as mach bread
stuff as it is possible to produce. Undoubtedly,
this country could grow vastly more wheat
than it does, although the yield now is enor-
NOUS There are great areas in the far west
npon which wheat could be raised successfully.
by dry farming methods Also, the basin of the
Mississippi could give tremendous addition
to the crop. It seems to be timely to urge far
greater acreage devoted to the production of
the cereal.

THE PRESIDENTS OPPORTUNITY.

An impressive result of the presidential cleo
ton will be the opportunity presented to Mr..
Wilson. For nearly four years he has been a
minority president. In the 1912 election the
men who voted against him outnumbered those
who voted for him by more than one million,
three hundred thousand On the face of the
unofficial returns this year he has popular ma
jority of about four hundred and seventeen
thousand large, but sufficient to cement
his case If defeat by narrow margin meant
a vote of no confidence, success means vote Of
confidence No one will quarrel with facts.
Unless the existing situation be changed by tho
official count, Mr.. Wilson will be a majority
president for four years from March fourth, a
time in which questions of vast Importance to
this country will be settled Thus opportun-
ity having few, if any, parallels in our political
history will have been presented to one who
from the day he took the oath of office has
shown himself stronger than his party. If he
proves equal to it, if, as far possible, he cor
reefs mistakes which have made many men
doubt his wisdom and sincerity, he will fill a
large page in the world record.
Responsibility goes with opportunity, and in
Mr.. Wilson S case both are greater than any
that have come to another president since Lin
coin. The whole country, hoping that now,
when he has been strengthened and heartened
by majority vote he will speak for all Ameri-
cans, wishes him well.

Questions to be Settled.

st. Louis lGlobe-Democrat: Mr..
Wilson faces many problems which
cannot be postponed for four years.
Something must be definitely done
about the Mexican mess. The train
men wage question must be settled.
All thes vexatious controversies with
the European belligerents must be
somehow settled. We have diplo-
matte troubles with Japan. Russia
and Colombia. The Danish West
Indies deal is in suspense. The prob
lem of foreign trade remains for
solution. The president is COM
mitted to the Webb bill. which would
exempt the foreign trade of our cor
porations from the harsh restrictions
of the Sherman act. We believe that
its enactment is essential to sue
cessful American competition in for
eign trade. Some of the hasty legis-
lation Of the last congress must be
perfected. The reserve act must be
modified, to eliminate the dangers
Mr.. Warburg has pointed out. Then
there is the duty of SURPRISING i'm
portance-economic preparedness Of
the United States for the terrific
trade struggle following the Europ-
can AYR.
We are hopeful. now that Mr.. Will
son has accomplished his reelection,
that he may show a broader and
more statesmanlike spirit. He should
select stronger cabinet He should
call on the strongest men Of the
minority party for assistance in solv-
ing grave problems. They should be
willing to render all the aid in their
power. There has been a popular
magnification Of the burdens Mr..
Wilson has carried the last four
years. But it is scarcely possible to
exaggerate the burdens OF the next
four years. If Mr. Wilson handles
them as badly as he has those of the
past there will be serious trouble,
but it is possible that he has learned
something from experience.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

The difficulty Of enforcing compulsory at
tendance at the public schools creates one of the
most perplexing problems which administra
tive school officers have to solve. In many
places public sentiment does not seem to sup
port the law.
According to a bulletin published by the
United States bureau of education, in 1914 pub
lie school attendance, in percentages, OF chill
dren from six to fourteen years of age was as
follows High, 80 and over, Connecticut, Iowa,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New
York and Vermont. Medium, so to 80, Cali
fornia Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, In
diana Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota,
Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, North
Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington West Virginia, Wisconsin and
Wyoming Low, 20 to so, Kentucky, Mississippi
pi, New Mexico, North Carolina and Texas
Very low, below 70, Alabama, Arizona, Florida,
Georgia. Louisiana, South Carolina and Vir-
GINA.
Nebraska in 1915 passed law providing
that three-fourths of the state school fund
shall be distributed to the several districts pro
rata according to the average daily attendance
This seems shrewd and sensible arrangement
for placing the responsibility for slack attend
ance where it belongs and for rewarding pains
taking and intelligent school boards. The re-
naming fourth of the annual appropriation is
apportioned equally among the several school
districts and when a school district votes the
maximum school tax and conducts its business
efficiently the state helps out with money
enough to provide minimum school term of
seven months. By such means these provi-
sions the most help is given to school boards
which deserve assistance, and the responsible
ity for slack attendance is clearly fixed by the
record of all the districts.

He cannot go back to his youth.

Direct Election Of President.

New York World: The president
of the United States ought to be
elected like a governor or a senator
by the voters themselves. The ma
jority should determine regardless
of state lines and regardless Of art
ificial devices. The electoral college
has been an anarchronism for a
hundred years so far as any indie
pendent political power is concerned.
1t should be eliminated completely
from the political system OF the
country as a public evil and a public
danger.
One Of the first duties of congress
when it reassembles is to take the
necessary first steps toward an
amendment of the constitution to
substitute direct vote of the people
for the electoral college in the cleo
ton of a president of the United
States.
