This Letter Wins
Today's Economy Prize.

DEAR ELIZABETH I.ATTINER:
Everyone who has a six-year- old boy
will agree with me that the problem of
keeping him In pants is an expensive
one. By using one pair of my hus-
bands discarded pants ] can MAKE TIE
boy two pairs--one pair from each leg
most materials can be turned iEstc.
out, which locke exactly like nss.
For the iraids Delts use sore Pc Of
Bingham or gsistes, and the pockets I
take from the old pAnts-vrvo front
and two hip. After hemming by hand
so the stitches will not show, l place
two buttons near the bottom OF each
leg These you could scarcely detect
from ready-made pants, and they wear
twice as well and cost me nothing but
time to make them.

THE MEXICAN
QUESTION

The senate subcommittee, presided
over by Senator Albert B. Fall, of
New Mexico, which has been investi-
eating our relations with Mexico, has
submitted ar exhaustive report of its
findings, with recommendations of a
proper policy for the United States
to pursue in the future. AS a part
of that report there has been en-
bodied a tabulated statement of the
losses in lives and property endured
by this country in the past ten years,
seven of which have been passed I'M
der the Wilson rule. 1t brings home
graphically to our citizens the cost
they have been made to pay through
the continued vacillation of the Presi-
dent, and his refusal to furnish ade-
quate protection to Americans and
their business interests. The figures
are as follows:
Civilians killed in Mexico, 397;
United States soldiers killed in Mexi-
GU, of, lOtdi, fol.
American civilians killed along the
border in the United States, So;
United States soldiers killed along the
border in the United States, 68; total
1926.
American civilians outraged or
wounded in Mexico, 80; United States
soldiers outraged or wounded in
Mexico, %; total, 81.
American civilians wounded on the
border in the United States, 90;
United States soldiers wounded on
the border in United States, Al; total
1877.
Total killed, wounded and outraged
7S5.
A summary of the financial losses
sustained by Americans is as follows:
Deaths, s14,675,00; personal injur-
les. $~2,846.301; individual property,
$50,4S1,133; railroad. American, $112,-

order that the act may become a law,
and in that surrender he has admitted
his own fallibility and recognized
that the voice of the many is more
likely correct than his own individual
opinion.
That is the school In which Sena-
tor Harding's conception of popular
government has been formed, and to
those tenets he will hold the execu-
tive department once he has taken
control. His cabinet will be COM
posed of men of recognized authority
in the problems of their particular
department, selected to act as real
aids to the President in the perform
ance of his duties, rather than to fur
nish plausible support for executive
opinions already made known. Presi-
dent Harding will personify the poll
cies adopted by the Republican party
as a whole and embodied in it's ma
tional platform, and in the carrying
out of those policies the country will
witness the closest cooperation with
official advisers and with his party
associates in congress.

PRESIDENT WILL

A tabulatiOn of the 1892 delegates
to the San Francisco convention
shows the President will have con-
troll of 1872 votes. 1t is a graphic IL
lustration Of the power of executive
patronage and the prestige that goes
with the fact that Wilson is 'in" and
his opponents are out" Were the
true sentiments of the Democrats in
all parts of the country to be re-
fiected in the selection of delegates
the count would be practically re-
versed, and there would be about 500
votes opposed to Wilson instead of
for him.

TRAINED LEGISLATOR
FOR THE WHITE HOUSE

With the election of Warren G
Harding to the Presidency, govern
ment by theory and intuition will give
place to government by experienced
experts, based on proved principles
Of sound national management. In
stead Of a professor from an institu-
ton of learning seeking to apply tc
the federal government the dogma OF
a college curriculum we shall have
a trained legislator and executive
who will conform his administration
to the lessons he has learned during
a term In the United States senate
preceded by two years as lieutenant-
governor of his state and four years
as a member of the Ohio senate.
When Senator Harding enters the
White House on March A, next, he will
have completed six years service as a
senator from his state, six years of
apprenticeship for the work of federal
administrator. AS never before In the
history of the country, the past seven
years have demonstrated how neces-
sary it is hat the chief executive
shall have had that previous acquain-
lance with the legislative branch of
the government indispensable to a
proper appreciation of his relations
to it. Mr.. Wilson's complete failure
to comprehend the point of view of
congress, and his refusal to concede
to the duly elected representatives of
the people the part the constitution
decreed that they shall play in ma
tional affairs, have been responsible
for the almost constant friction that
has existed between them. The cost
to the people of that lack of co-ordi-
nation can W be expressed in dol
lars and cents, but it has been enor-
nous; and, in addition, national pres
tige has suffered a setback that will
require the most careful attention
from a Republican administration to
repair.
Not only has Senator Harding
learned In the school of experience
of the relations between the executive
and legislative branches that must be
maintained If III government is to
continue to express the popular will
as u forefathers provided in the
constitution, but he has learned to
respect the opinions Of his fellow
senator's, and Of others chosen by the
people to represent their views. 1t Is
here again that the Wilson admins
tration has signally failed to perform
it's allotted part in u scheme of
government. 1t has been totally i'm
possible for the Wilson type Of mind
to conceive that it is not infallible
and to realize that the views of the
people can be more nearly expressed
through the composite expression of
their leaders than through the utter
ances Of a single individual. His has
been a one-man government, uninflu-
enced by the opinions Of accepted
authorities.
Every act of the senate, and OF
congress, necessarily is a compro-
mise product composite OF the
thought of the members who compose
the majority of that body. 1t is not
too much to say that an act of i'm
portance never passes the senate that
is entirely acceptable to n sena-
tor. Every senator has surrendered
some of his personal preferences in
