produce! Produce! PRODUCED" We
have heard this cry often of late.
and we are producing; but we are not
producing IN a way to relieve the
strain. We have come to the Mace
where conjectures and theories and
political tomfoolery must give way tc
action.
Food and shelter are two Of the
three essentials of existence. The
present status of industry is causing
flock into the big cities; more fertile
both to become more scarce every
year. There is less food, because
there are annually fewer people to
produce food. There is less shelter,
because our population is badly dis
tributed. The richest country on
earth, which could easily provide for
ten times its present population, is
facing a dearth of the very things
that make life possible and facing
condition that is making it almost un-
bearable for an increasing number of
people every year.
Seventy cents out of every dollars
worth Of everything produced in this
country comes from the farm; yet
only 40 per cent of our populate is
engaged in the production and dis
tribution Of food and related com
modities. The other 80 cents comes
from the other 60 per cent of the
people, who are mostly crowded in
the big cities. The 40 per cent is d.
minishing and the 80 per cent is IN
creasing.
Let the Republican party make it
Its business to try to solve this prob
lem that Is undermining the morale
of millions. Solve 1t, not by legisa-
ton, not by artificial stultihers; solve
it, II you will, by making westward
migration attractive through govern
ment loans; solve it Justly, honestly,
politically, but solve it.

More Justice.
Not Education.
Curb Reds
Republican Party Urged
to Devise Means Whereby
Every Man in America
Will Own His Home

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Education and yet more educa-
ton seems to be the panacea in the
solution Of the problem Of Americana
cation.
Before launching ourselves into an
aggressive campaign which will have
ton of the unassimilated American and
which will entail the expenditure of
vast sums of money and herculean eff
forts, as now proposed by SO many we'll
meaning organizations, let US pause
while, take soundings and judge facts
from the viewpoint of past and actual
experience.
Anne or, better yet, pa
trlotism, in order to be Of the 100 and
not the 2.75 per cent variety, must form
an integral part of the very life blood
of the Individual 1t must be so welded
in the person as to mean an unwavering
defender of the flag. This is the only
characterization for which the Repub-
lie can afford to stand, and unless it
be founded on love for country, and not
knowledge of country. all efforts will
be Of no. avail.
Having found the solution Of the
question-love for country-the next
step must necessarily be how to create
gible facts must be faced. The im-
portant issue in this connection, it
seems to me. is that the individual
should not alone live in the country
but that through governmental process
concrete opportunities should be at.
forded him to own something in the
nation which he may learn to love and
to cherish.
Closely allied to this question we fine
that man has struggled through gener-
atoms in the hope that he may have Z
place in this earth worthy of being
called his home, for, as has been so
his home, but will tale no interest in
his boarding house.
In devising means by which every
deserving citizen may be given the op
portunity to own his place of abode ar
the greatest antidote against Bolshe-
vism, it should be the endeavor Of the
Republican party, as the ma jor con
trolling factor in American politics, ia
create constant opportunities by de-
velopment.
The party Of Abraham Lincoln is now
on the eve Of clinching a complete vic
tory. Eet it answer the plaintive cry
of the rank and file of the Republic or
more practical application Of that
very Elusive term, justice, and by the
creation of opportunities such as will
a chance to flourish, as the nation can
not progress unless the individual
prospers. Bolshevism and anarchism
will then be thing Of the past. Edu-
cation as by-product will take care
Of itself. JOHN CHICO.

To-Day's Prize Letter
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Where will it all end ?" is a
question that is being constantly re-
lterated in these days of economic
uncertainty and political backfire. No
one can answer, because, under pres
ent conditions, we are as runners
travelling circle, with no outlet or
goal and with no alternative ex-
cept to keep travelling until we reach
the breaking point. There is no other
end. The Republican party should
seriously consider means of wrestling
with what threatens to be an economic
upheaval by first striving to get at
the roots Of present-day .restlessnesc.
Consider the farm and the rural
community. Consider the thousands
OF acres lying idle for lack of men to
work them, while veritable droves Of
men, attracted by the high wages,
flock to the. big city in search of Jobs,
while the helpless and hopeless con-
sumner pays Sc a bushel for potatoes
and II cents a loaf for bread.
The rural communities become
poorer, the unworked farm lands in
crease, the supply Of food products
decreases, the population of the big
cities increases abnormally, rents and
the prices do likewise; strikes result.
wages are increased, more men from
the farms and rural communities, at
tracted by the still higher wages,
acres lie idle, the dearth Of food be-
comes still more apparent, the con-
gestton in the cities Is more than
ever appalling; rents and prices climb
again, more strikes result, wages
are again increased and we are back
again to where we started, ready
for what? Why, another lap around
the circle. And when that lap is
completed we will be ready-for
what? Another lap. Where will it
all end? In making Rolshevists of the
middle classes, possibly; in economic
upheaval, probably; in the exhaus-
ton and degradation of many, surely.

=, the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The platform contest is draw
fng to a close. Soon it will be placed
smong things unnumbered, but I be-
uieve it's benefits will be permanent in
awakening the people of America. I
for one have been close student of
your columns, and before the last is
said want to join my plea with those
o. thousands of my fellow country
men.
NY plea Is this: Let citizenship be
our watchword, and with citizenship
accomplished characterization will fol-
low as surely as night follows day.
Let each man and woman in the
United States strive to be the best
citizen his or her ability will permit;
then will the talk of radicahsm cease,
for then 1t will have discontinued its
existence.
The best chance Of producing the
kind OF citizenship needed is under =
natural tendency of the people is to-
ward good citizenship, but it needs
encouragement, strengthening, cooper
alton, and it is up to the delegates to
the Chicago convention to provide
these characteristics through the
medium Of their platform and subse-
Quent acts.
The principle of self control must
be applied in the individual himself
No man is fit to rule. to govern others,
unless he is his own master. In
self-governed community, individual
self-g6vernment is q necessity. The
larger the community the greater must
be the degree of individual self
control if the whole is to operate
smoothly.
Honesty. loyalty. truthfulness, sim
cerity, after all. are the fundamental
virtues the individual must have if
in lending a hand to his country he
expects to see that country step out
stride for stride with other nations,
always keeping just ahead.
Lawlessness is more dangerous in
self-governed community than it is in
any other, for the simple rea son that
In it the state depends for it's exist
ence upon the individual, and the indi-
vidual is not doing his part as it
should be done if disorder exists. He
Is not applying the brakes of sels-
control
Americans should think Of the Con-
stitution-the framework Of the state
as sacred. So thinking, they will
uphold it's tenets in every way and
the state will thrive.
We all agree that q man should be
his own master-free. Free, but not
free from obligation as the servant
of his country.
Let the Republican party start
Alright with an appeal for citizenship
the best citizenship individuality will
provide. FlTZ.

Electoral College Seen
AS National Injustice
Six-Year Term for President
and No Reelection Favored;
Business Man as Leader
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Every Democratic Presidential
candidate has had mortgage on prac-
tically the whole Southern electoral
vote, because the electoral vote is de-
termined by certain ratio to popula-
ton. but the electors are elected by g
mere faction of the people, the ones
who actually vote. This makes Pres
idential election farcica and it gives
the Democratic candidate an unfair
advantage. l am neither partisan
nor q sectonalist, but / do want to see
our constitutional requirements lived
up to.
Of course, one remedy for this con-
dtion would be the abolition of the
electoral vote system and the election
Of the President by popular vote An
other crying need is TO make the
Presidential term six years and make
the incumbent ineligible for re-elec-
ton. Then at least once in while
some question would be settled on its
merits.
Why not business man for Presi-
dent? Enough of soldiers, lawyers,
near-statesmen and schoolmarms, and
give us someone who doesn't know any
theory whatever, but clear thinking,
plain everyday, aightout-from the
shoulder American.
The immediate future of this coun-
try is bound up in the proper treat
ment Of economic conditions, not in
providing jobs for INDECENT pussy
footers and lame ducks, and to this end
we should work tooth and nail and
demand that the national convention
nominate q man who thinks more of
rrinriDlpq than v0toa and who won't
truckle to this interest and that, and
who won't know any North, South,
East or West.
We should also demand that Cabinet
officers have decent qualifications for
their jobs. GEORGE E. WOLSLEY.

as long as any large section of the

for the Republicans to exert themselves
