AS the Wizard Figures 1t.

Speaking of the origin Of life
Thomas A. Edison has this to say:
Life undoubtedly originated on this
planet somehow. There was a time
when the whole earth was molten and
purely inorganic-many million years
ago certaily, perhaps thousand mil
lion years ago, nevertheless, from
what we know we know there must
have been such a time. Terrestrial
life originated in ways unknown, it
may have entered into relation with
matter gradually and solely in the
past; it may be incarnating itself like
wise here and now; but so far the
process has never been observed. The
effort now being made is to place it
under human observation, perhaps it
will occur some day in the. laboratory
If so it will be matter of extreme
interest, but all humanity will have
done will have been to place the ma
terials together and watch the result.

to make sure.
Of course, you say, it is nature.
But what is nature? That seems to
me to be an evasive reply. 1t is just
a subterfuge, convenient way of
shutting off further questioning. I
have never been satisfied with that
word. Now my answer is that the
skin doesn't happen to grow that way
by accident. Someone had to plan
that new growth and to supervise it
to make certain that it would conform
in every way with the old skin. Here
is where our life entities come into

Unduly Alarmed.

The woman organization which was
opposed to suffrage and declines to
demobilize now that suffrage is all &C.
cepted fact is stirred to the depths
over the proposition of erecting a
federal department Of education head
ed by a cabinet officer. It is possible
that it's antagonism is due in LARGE
part to the interest the suffrage or
CARNATIONS have taken in the new
movement and their support of the
Smith-Towner bill to create the pro-
posed department, but the argument is
that the plan will plunge our entire
educational system into partisan poll
tics and the spoils system. While this
would be a lamentable result, why is
1t menaced in the case of education
especially more than in the administra !.
ton of any other department There
seems no particular reason for appre-
hendlng that secretary Of education
would be influenced by political rather
than educational considerations-cer-
tainly no more reason than there
would be to fear the secretary of
agriculture would be governed by
political and not agrarian interests or
that tho attorney general would play
politics and not practice law. It is
not easy to keep out politics under our
general system, but there seems no &C.
casion for the alarm manifested in this
particular case.-St. Paul Dispatch.

THOSE CABINET JOBS.
Hughes Regarded in Lead for Score.
tary of State and Hoover Fa-
vored for Labor Post.

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 29.-After weeks
of consideration and consultation
President-elect Harding is nearing
a decision on several of his most i'm
portant cabinet appointments.
It may be said authoritatively that
SO far no actual decision has been
reached by Mr.. Harding and that any
suggestions he may have dropped on
the subject have been of tentative
and indefinite nature. 1t is equally
certain, however, that in his talks
here with leaders in many walks of life
he has indicated clearly what men are
uppermost in his mind as he asks for
advice on the makeup of his official
family.
Those who have discussed the ques-
lion with him Intimately believe that
appointments under serious considera-
ton include the following:
Charles E. Hughes of New York,
secretary of state.
Charles G. Dawes of Illinois, secre-
tary of the treasury.
John w. Weeks of Massachusetts,,
secretary of the navy.
Will H. Hays of Indiana, postmas-
ter general or secretary Of the interior.
Henry Wallace of Iowa, secretary
of agriculture.
Herbert Hoover of California, sec
rotary of labor.
Harry NJ. Daughcrty, attorney gen.
eral.

Practical Suffrage Results.

Women's political organizations
may we'll point with pride" to the
success Of number of aspirants Of
their sex for public office in the Nov
ember election.
Their greatest card was the election
Of Alice Robertson of Oklahoma to
congress. A republican, she carried a
district that is ordinarily overwhelm-
ingly democratic. It is not reflection
upon her to assume that she will have
to be miracle performer to win re-
election. This feeling is predicated
upon the number of democratic votes
in her district and not upon the fact
that the first congresswoman failed to
win reelection. jeanette Rankin
might have had a second term in the
house from Montana had she been
willing to try for it. She was led into
campaign for the senate, and she
never had chance at any stage, for
the vote was too much split up among
other aspirants of her party. More
over, many Montana republican women
felt that to ask to go to the senate
after but single term in the house
was asking little too much.
A member Of the senate and a state
representative in Oklahoma, women
superintendent of public instruction
in Kansas and Texas, nine women
county treasurers in Missouri, two
women sheriffs and a state senator in
Michigan! It's an impressive start,
and men in politics will do we'll to give
due heed to it. It will be but very
short time before women will be as
pirants for congressional, state, coun-
ty and city nominations in Minnesota.

One AQalnst the Archbishop.

In his book, sour Family Affairs"
Mr.. e. f. Benson, the English novel
list. tells Of q joke he played on his
father, the archbishop Of Canter-
bury.
The archbishop was a loving but
exacting parent, although he some.
times nodded. He certainly did so
one hot Sunday afternoon when Mr..
Benson was deputed to read the life
of st. Francis to him and the assem-
bled family in the garden.
The tranquility of the listeners be-
came after while so remarkable that
the reader decided to test it by CIV

selected at haphazard from different

Il LOOK OLDER THAN LONDON"
Many American Cities suggest Age
and Permanenoe, Says e. v.
Lucas, Visitor From Europe.

Looking back on It all. realize
that America never struck me as a
new country, although Its inhabitants
often seemed to be a new people,
writes e. V. Lucas in the Outlook.
The cities are more mature than the
citizens. New York, Chicago, Boston,
Philadelphia, Washington-al have IN
air Of permanence and age. The build
ings, even when most fantastic, sug-
gest righteousness or at least sta
bility; nor would the presence Of
more ancient structures increase this
effect.
To the eye of the ordinary English
man, accustomed to work in what we
call the city, in Fleet street, in the
Strand, in Piccadilly or In Oxford
street, New York would not appear
to be a younger place than London,
and Boston might easily strike him
as older. Nor Ia London more than
little older, except in spots, such as
the Tower, and the Temple and the
Abbey and that little Tudor row In
Holborn, all separated by vast tracts
of modernity.
Indeed, I would almost go further
and say that London sets up an H.
fusion of being newer even than New
York, by reason Of its more disturbing
street traffic both in the roads and on
the footways, and the prevalence Of
the gayly colored omnibus which thun-
ders along so many thoroughfares, in
notable contrast to the sedate and
sober vehicles that serve Fifth avenue
and are hardly seen elsewhere.

Is It Poor Judgment?

The federal bank. officials are going
up and down the country recommend
ing as solution for the present cred
it stringency, that farmers sell from
Is to Is per cent of their unmarketed
products within the next thirty days
or six weeks.
1t does not seem to us that this will
remedy matters.
The farm product market is already
glutted, the evidence being in the rap
idly falling prices Of grain and live
stock &i,,, 1gs,
To dump couple of million bushels
of grain and rs or 100 trainloads of
cattle and hogs onto a market that is
already over-supplied would simply
complete the process Of knocking the
bottom out Of the market.
Every gambler and speculator
konws this.
He knows exactly what the effect
will be if the recommendations of the
federal bank officials are carried out
and so he is waiting.
He knows that the federal bank is
a powerful institution; that it controls
the credit situation and he knows that
the federal bank can force it's recon-
mendations if. it so desires.
The legitimate buyers know this,
too, and so they are waiting.
No one is going to buy grain and
livestock now if he feels that he can
buy what he wants within few days
or weeks at a much lower price.
So the first effect of the federal bank
recommendation policy is to halt buy
ing, destroy what little market there
is and thus actually retard any ma
tural liquidation that might be In pro-
cess.
Now suppose that if, instead Of it's
(intimation that farmers must sell and
sell quickly, the federal bank would
give it out cold that the farmers did
not have to sell and would not have to
sell until there was natural demand
for their products as evidenced by the
only thing that really evidences ma
tural demand-rising market prices
what would be the effect?
Wouldn't the first effect be to tone
up the present market?
And wouldn't the toning up of the
present market be the thing that is
needed to bring the products to mar
ket and start the liquidating process
that is so much desired?
In other words, isn't the federal re-
serve bank adopting policy that is
aggrevating the trouble that it seeks
to avoid ?-Long Prairie Leader.
