Matters Of Importance.

Three matters of capital import
ance await the action Of the Senate
which have already been acted upon
by the House of Representatives: the
hill which seeks to extend greater
freedom Of combination to those en-
gagged in promoting the foreign COM
merce of the country than is now
thought by some to be legal under the
terms Of the laws against monopoly;
the bill amending the present organic
law of Porto Rico; and the bill pro-
posing a more thorough and sys-
tematic regulation of the expenditure
of money in elections, commonly
called the Corrupt Practices Act. |
need not labor my advice that these
measures be enacted into law. Their
urgency lies in the manifest circum-
stances which render tLeir adoption
at this time not only opp0rtune but
necessary. Even delay would serious
" ieopardize the interests of the coun-
try and of the government.
Immediate passage of the bill to
regulate the expenditure of money in
elections may seem to he less neces-
sary than the immediate enactment OF
the other measures to which | refer;
because at least two years will elapse
before another election i'll which led
eral offices are to be filled; but 1t
would greatly relieve the public mind
| if this important matter were dealt
with while the circumstances and the
dangers to the public morals of the
present method of obtaining and
spending campaign funds stand clear
under recent observation and the
methods of expenditure can be frank
ly studied in the light of present ex,
perience; and a delay would have the
further very serious disadvantage Of
postponing action dntil another cleo
ton was at hand and some special OBJ,
ject connected with it might be
thought to be in the mind of those
who urged it. Action. can be taken
now with facts for guidance and with
out suspicion of partisan purpose. I

The Presidents statement at the close
of the session follows:
"A very remarkable session of Con-
gress has just closed. full, as all recent
sessions of the Congress have been. of
helpful and humane legislation, which
constitutes contributions Of capital i'm
portance to the defence, the economic
progress and the wholesome life Of the
country.
ut is to be regretted that the ses-
sion could not have continued long
enough to complete the program re-

accommodation Of labor disputes be-
tween the railways and the employees
but 1t was not feasible in the circum-
stances to continue the session any
longer and therefore only the most
Immediately pressing parts Of the pro-
gram could be completed
When the rest it is agreed, has mere
| ly been postponed until it can be more
| materially deliverated and preferred,
I have every reason to believe that it
is the purpose of the leaders Of the
two houses Immediately upon re-as-
sembling Of Congress, to undertake
this additional legislation.
1T is evident that the country should
be relieved Of the anxiety which must
have been created by recent events,
| with regard to the future accommoda-
ton of such disputes"
| For the winter session the Democratic
leaders look to the railway legislation as
| the dominating feature.
The subject next in Importance will be
conservation of national resources. First
/ on the December program, however. will
be the immigration bill, with it's literacy

UNCLE JOHN PAUL-EDITOR OF
LAND VALUES, LONDON, ENG.

Janet Calder lives with her father
and mother at Newbie, Amman, Scot
land. She is just five years old, and
the other day made her first visit to
school. The teacher was telling the
children some stories, and at the close
asked if any little girl could tell one?
Janet responded at cnce, and by re-
quest stood out before the class and
unfalteringly told the following:
"Once on a time, a very long time
ago, in a far-off country, there were
plenty OF men who had no work to
do. They had no wages to take home
to buy food, and the children were
starving Then a man came whose
name was Henry George, and he told
them what was wrong. He said that
the land was not being used, and that
the idle men should have the idle
land, and then there would be lots Of
work and wages for everybody, and
the children would get plenty of food
and not be hungry any more. Ano-
ther man stood up and said that the
men must first love one another.
Henry George said that was right, but
before the men could love one anoth-
er the land must be free"
The teacher said that was a nice
story and asked Janet where she had
heard it. Janet replied: my Uncle
John told me.p-Land Values, July

FORD
tcontInued from Elrst Paael

and his administration have done, no man
who is just and intelligent can fail to find
in the long list of Wilson's achievements
something of which the conscience ap-
proves. 1t is revolving to observe the
leadership of a once great party contend
ing that everything that the president has
done was poorly done and wrongly done
1t would greatly strengthen the opposi-
tion to Mr.. Wilson were its leaders to
conCede that the president has done many
things of a high type of craftsmanship
and to base their indictments of him up
on the few issues on which they might
hope to arouse public opinion.
THE country is too prosperous and
| too confident of future prosperity to list
en- seriously when you say we are living
in FOOLS paradise of temporary prosper
ity That is demagogy again. The coun-
try is too well pleased with, too well sat-
is fed of the merits of the federal reserve
act, the trade commissions act, and the
other measures by which the Wilson ad-
ministration established business peace to
devote much time to the discussions of
agitators who contend that nothing good
had been done
One other thing wish to point out 1t
Is the quality OF workmanship that may
be expected from Mr. Wilson and his par
ty colleagues in congress in the next four
years, when quick decisions must be made
and sure hands will be needed. Their
hands have been trained in the efficient
school OF experience, and even IL the op-
position offered men of as high character
as Mr.. Wilson's own, the American people
would be acting unwisely in swapping ex-
perienced public servants for less exper-
fenced ones 1t has been a real inspira-
tion for me to talk with Mr.. Wilson for
several hours at his summer home today
l am more than ever convinced that the
remarkable record of achievements which
lies behind him is not accidental nor the
work of an opportunist but the normal
expression of character truly great.

VOTE AS AMERICANS"
Says EdISOn-NO Time Now to Try
An inexperienced Man.
BY GEORGE cREEL.

"Times are too serious to talk in
terms Of Republicanism or Democracy
Parties are all right-reckon we've got
to have them with our system Of gov
ernment But when it's America that's
at stake men have got to vote as
Americans, and not as Democrats or
Republicans"
This is the message to the American
people that Thomas A. Edison gave to
me in a recent interview
"This man Wilson has had a mighty
hard time of it," he continued. 81
don't believe there was ever a presi
dent who had as many big questions to
decide. They-have come In punches.
He hasn't always pleased me, just as
suppose he hasn't always pleased
other people, but when you look the
record over it's so good that criticism
comes close to being nothing more
than cheap fault finding.
"A fool or q coward would have had
the United States in all sorts of trouble.
AS il is, we are at peace, the country
was never more prosperous, and we
have the strength that comes with
honor and integrity Of purpose.
"WilsOn has won victories by diplo-
macy that are far more important to
mankind than any victories that we
could have won by war.
Had we recognized Huerta it would
have served notice upon the world
that the United States, while believing
in democracy for home use, was will.
ing to stand for despOtlsm where 9th
er peoples were concerned. President
Wilson's Mexican policy has been wise
and just and courageous.
Belgium? Hindsight! In the light
Of two years it's easy to say what
should have been done. But at the
time not a single paper or a public
man even thought of anything but
keeping the United States out of the
European horror
"Tariff? There's another proof Of
Wilson's openness of mind No matter
what he thought about the Underwood
law, he had the courage to admit that
the European war had returned the
tariff to the province of discussion.
So he came to the front with his prop
OsitiOn for tariff commission That's
sense. The tariff is a scientific affair,
not political at all A tariff commits
sion will lift the whole business out Of
politics
"As | said at the start, it has just
been one big thing after another with
Wilson.
Look at the threatened general rail |
road strike. Why, If carried through, |
such strike would have thrown the
whole country into confusion.

dent, would have found it difficult to
