Whose Influence Should
Be Felt In Washington,
The Boss or the Farmers?

One would think that the farmers
would have more influence with the adj
ministration than the Sullivans, Murphys
and Taggarts.
The farmers elected Wilson
What did the bosses do?
There is a zone of Wilson defeat around
each of them. The breath of Murphy
killed Wilson so that one has to cross
three states in travelling from New York
city to a region Of democratic success.
Roger Sullivan's baleful influence is
seen in the great Hughes desert of which
Illinois is the center and Chicago the
nucleus
Truly. one would think that the farm
ers would have more to say in this adj
ministration than the bosses.
Whether or not this is true may be
proven by the fate of Carl Vrooman. as
sistant secretary of agriculture.
1t has been supposed that he was go
ing into the next cabinet.
But, two years ago, he boldly cam
paigned against Roger Sullivan, and Sui
Ivan is against him.
II is fight in the secret passages of
politics.
Who will win. the farmers who are for
vrooman. or Roger Sullivan, who is
against him?

Put First Things First
~ oR.'FRANk CRANE
tCopyright 1915. by Frank Crane)

On the fourteenth Of February, 1917,
Mr.. Robinson introduced in the United
States senate a resolution that cordial
invitation be extended to members of
the national legislative bodies of the
various nations of the world to assem-
ble in the United States at such time
and place as congress may hereafter
specify, and that the sum Of $6O0,O
be appropriated for the promotion of
peace and for hospitality fund" This

Why not put first things first"
Preparedness to protect the rights Of
American seamen is proper. We are all
solidly behind our government in what
ever measures il takes to see that our
citizens are not murdered on the high
seas or elsewhere.
But. important as il is to defend our
honor and stand up for our rights, that
is not so important as something else,
to-wit, namely:
To police the world, to substitute in
ternational law for anarchy, to organize
the nations so as to reduce the enor-
nous blood and money tax of excessive
ornaments, and TO prevent the recur-
renee Of such a calamity as now dark
ems the human race.
To establish law in my community 10
more my duty than to defend my own
private rights.
And to establish law among the
worlds nations is more vital than TO pro-
tect any one nations honor.
The honor and peace of all come be-
fore the honor Of any one.
Geore Brandes the noted critic, and
one Of the most prominent neutrals of
Europe, wrote, in recent number of the
American-Scandinavia Review:
IF prominent men and women in al
parts of the world would cease their
everlasting discussion as TO who is re-
sponsible for the war, and upon whom
the punishment should fall, and would
concentrate their efforts on solving the
only real and vital question, that of find
ing a way out of this hell, to which the
words of Macbeth may truly be applied:
" oh. horror. horror. horror! Tongue nor heart
Cannot conceive nor name thee
If America is TO enter into world poll
tics shall she enter merely because some
one in the general melee has stepped on
her toes, or shall it be as the protagonist
Of great principle, the advocate and
propaganda Of her own historic idea,
the idea of federation?
Why should not we urge the world to
take up that same cry that has guided
and saved US? It's as good world cry
as an American cry:
''The Union, one and inseparable, now
and forever"
If we are eager TO spend $500 100000
to get into war to save ourselves, should
we not be willing to spend 100000 in
an effort TO save humanity?
