the incompetency of the government,
and he knows that here is a knotty
problem to be solved and that by no
way devised by man may the solu-
ton be had agreeable to everybody.
In a recent public letter Otto H.
Kahn wrote:
THE Democratic party in an eight
years term of power has failed the
farmer. The Republican party will
now have its opportunity. And the
farmer will not wait another eight
years" And if the farmer is to re-
ceive aid it may chiefly come because
labor will. through loss Of excessively
paid wage in the cities, turn to the
farms and a wage the farmer can af-
ford TO pay. There will be many
displeased people before this comes
about Unless it does come about.
however. this country will not reach
normally" or a sound basis of do
mestic affairs
With regard to foreign affairs there
has been undue agitation. The Re-
publican administration will be
abundantIy able to cooperate with
foreign peoples on a practical and
American basis. Theodore Roosevelt
was not lacking in ideaiism but he
believed in idealism to which one
might reasonably hope to attain and
he never lost sight of the practical
and with vision almost uncanny fore
saw the resultants of the forces at
work in human nature and the world.
He foresaw the probability of a
League controversy and here are
!. some Of the things he said:
Il adjure our people not to be
fooled by fine phrases and glittering
! generalities. but to insist on facing
facts as they actually are. If they
do 50. they will put nationalism in
the frst place. Then they will join in
any international agreement that
Ouhs Wh0S Nnti anu OuSht l"
be performed For needless
readiness to make promises which
are unlikely to be fulfilled is a public
. sin but one degree lower than callous
/ readiness to break promises that can
| be kept"
| Let not those. who wish to have
the peoples Of the world in accord en-
| deavoring to prevent war. be dis
couraged. The practical idealism Of
Theodore Roosevelt will be applied to
| it. The country is not reactionary.
It is neither too timid nor too selfish
to do its part. And when all is said
| and done there remains for us to
consider the indubitable fact that
wars came because of greed and ex-
/ cessive ambition. not because of the
antipathy of one people for another.
unless that antipathy shall be famed
by the unrighteous. When the world
recognizes that real success consists
. not in what may be taken from some
other person or country, but rather
in the ability to render service. then
we will have found the only real pre-
ventive Of war.

Our Relations with Mexico.

Secretary Colby has announced that
the discussions which the State
Department has had with Mr. Pes
auiera. the confidential agent of the
Mexican government, give promise
in confirmation of this statement. he
has published the text of a letter
from Mr.. Pesquiera. declaring that
Mexico will respect all rightful
claims duly proved as such, submit
ting herself to the recognized prin-
ciples of international law" and that
she is prepared to establish a joint
arbitration commission to adju-
dictate the claims of foreigners
for damages occasioned during
the revolution. Mr. Pesquiera re-
pudiates as entirely groundless the
ften-repeated charge that Mexican
| laws are of retroactive and confls-
catory nature. and says:
Not one square yard of land has

single legitimate right of property

valid property rights. q
These declarations are reassuring.
and there is no reason TO question
their sincerity. But good deal de-

thing the state department must

The Avalanche Arrives

The Avalanche Arrives
Here is tire avalanche Maine started
in September:
The big bluff has been "eaIIed."
The truth was not in those Demo-
cratic claims and predictions. The
people, to their honor be it said. were
not deceived, nor were they preju-
diced by ealumny.
There is no mistaLing these things.
The country emphatieaIiy calls for .
new crew to man the ship Of state,
clean up the craft and get under
weigh.
The voters made up their minds
months ago. SentimentaIism and the
: figure it eIoaksd. piff7s and Islander
couldn't change the conclusion. And
the women share in IL, show the same
. steadiness Of conviction. like shrewd
sense Of the principles at issue. They
register disgust as deeisiveIy as do
the men.
And look at the Democrats who
. baked. Democrats who are Americans
first and Democrats when their party
comes up to their standacd. They
/. could not swallow Cox and what was
..hitehed 70 him. Every town in rock
ribbed Democratic Knox county, save
one, went Republican. And returns
to date indicate like expression from
Maine to California.
We are to have an end Of war and
war waste; an end Of autoeraey aided
and ahetted by bureaucracy.
The Constitution Of the United
States is living expression Of Amer
Han principles today.
Woodrow Wilson did not heed pub :
lie sentiment when two years ago he
called for = Wilson, instead Of an
American congress. He must heed il
now and others who may dream of
one man rule may we'll heed il.
Ineficierey has been rebuked. An
administration that does not govern
wisely need not hope fer continuance.
There have been cross currents,
side issues, diversions here and there,
but under the tremendous. pressure
they awaited not at all. The sweep
is 20 pronounced there is every as.
suranee Of working Republican ma
jerity in congress.
Thus responsibility comes to the
Republican party. big. burdenseme

That Average Voters Wants.

Jay Z. House in Public Ledger,
All along we have been out of step
with some of our editorial coadjutors
as to the vital issue OF the campaign.
Adelaide, who is a rabid Harding
partisan. came home from the meet
ing of her card club Saturday after
noon blazing with indignation. Press
ing her for particulars. we learned
that she had devoted the entire after
noon to refutation of the disgusting
underground story that the Harding
genealogical tree bears a cross strain.
And what" we asked, after the
lady had ceased bubbling and had
cooled to the consistency of fruit
syrup, what did they say about the
League of Nations?" They didn't
mention it," she chortled. as the bulb
rose perceptibly in the thermometer.
Il don't think they'd heard of it,
And so we project this conclusion.
IdeaIism in affairs and efficiency in
government engross the attention Of
considerable number of excellent
citizens. But what the average voter
wants is a skeleton to rattle.

MRS. AUGUST BJELKENGREN

Mrs. Pernilla Bjelkengren died at her
home at Svea last Friday afternoon after
about one month suffering from cancer.
The deceased was born at Hiersas,
Skane, Sweden, on May 10, 1910. Her
youth was spent at this place. In 1868
she was united in marriage to August
ejelkengren, who died two years ago.
When first coming to America they re-
sided at Monmouth, ILL.,, from 1868 to
1870. They came to Svea in 1870.
Mrs. Bjelkengren has been a faithful
member of the Swedish Lutheran church
at Svea since 1875. Since her husband
died two years ago she has been earnest
ly waiting to be called to her home in the
great beyond.
The deceased leaves one son, Henry,
at Willmar, three daughters, Mrs. Louis
