UNIQUE CONSULTATION
(From New York Times)

The conferences already begun BY
Senator Harding are almost without
precedent in American politics. For
they relate not TO appointments, but
to policies. Old customs is for mai
to become president to consult with
party chiefs and political advisers.
But the question discussed has usually
been who should be named for the
cabinet, who placed in charge of this
and the other branch OF executive
work. This time, however, it is some
thing more fundamental. The cardinal
plans of the party are to be talked
over at Marion. In one vital matter
the Republica party went before the
country confessing that 1t had not
been able to formulate a policy. II did
not know what it would do about
the league Of nations. 1t asked the
country to give it blank check. The
task Of filling it in is to be undertaken
| by Mr.. Harding in consultation with
minds that may be the best but
are certainly wide apart in opinion.
Nothing just like this has ever be-
fore been recorded in party annals.
Everybody must hope that wisdom
will issue from the multitude Of coun-
selurs at Marion. If Mr.. Harding
is able 10 announce in his inau-
gural address or in message 10
congress, u clear ana sound policy re-
specting Americas attitude toward
inescapable world problems, he will
receive hearty and non-partisan sup
port. All are ready 10 pledge him
that in advance. But goodwill alone
can not make difficulties vanish as
by a magic wand. Steady thinking
by clear heads is necessary. And 1t
would be foolish TO overlook the in
herent uncertainties and dangers OF
such consultations as those upon
which Senator Harding is now en-
tering.
His situation, be 1t remembered, is
! not that OF man who has made UP
his mind for himself and is inviting
criticism. The kind of iron striking
upon iron is more useful 10 public
man. The complaint that we have
had too little of II during President
Wilson's last years in office appears
10 be justified. Any president, or
president to be, who has slowly
shaped an important policy, ought TO
be glad TO ask friendly and capable
men 20 search it for unsuspected weak
ness. He may have overlooked some'
thing. lie may have failed 10 weigh
certain results. Criticisms or sugges-
tons may save him from laundering,
or from being compelled to modify or
Withdraw his plans after they have
been made public. Free, fearless and
confidential discussion is plainly of the
greatest help to an executive who has
wrestled his way through TO the

the cotton is followed by redemption
of the bonds, cancellation of the
growers note and payment to him
OF whatever surplus has been OBJ
tained in the sale.
Under the plan n given community
first forms an unincorporated bond
ing company composed Of a dozen or
more representative farmers, business
men and bankers. No capital is need
ed, the company simply lending its
credit to tho transactions and its au-
thority in orderly and profitable plac-
ing Of the cotton on the market; and
is an agency solely for holding the
cotton according to market conditions.
A provision is that uniform monthly
issues of bonds provide for holding
cotton six months. This permits the
gradual marketing of cotton through
the ensuing year.
The Southwest American is in re-
ceipt Of samples OF the bonds, which
are to bearer and pass without en-
dorsement. Each bond ccrtifies that
stated quantity OF cotton has been
deposited through receipts TO the COM
pany trustee upon an agreed basis
per pound for the cotton. The bonds
are payable six months after date
with stipulated interest; the cotton
insured against fire or other loss,
upon receipt issued by a bonded ware-
hOuscman, countersigned by the Sec
retary of the company. At any time
during the bond period the holder
may redeem his note upon payment
Of its face, accrued interest and cost
OF transaction to the company.
The system has become 80 wide
spread in the eastern southern states
that needed bonds, receipts and con-
tracts may be purchased by other
communities adopting the system.-

framing of great policy of state.
This, however. is not at all the
case at present with Mr.. Harding. He
is not asking critics TO come to Marion
but original constructors. They are not
to point out the joints in his armor;
they are to make it for him. He has
frankly stated he has no settled policy.
His mind he will offer TO his visitors

is for them to seek TO make the right
impressions upon it. The hope seems
10 be that a pleasing composite picture

and they have go. TO be the convic-
tons and the will Of the man charged
with the final responsibility.
There ought, tnen, to be no illu-
sion about Senator Harding's confer
ences. They may be exceedingly help
ful. All of us hope they will be, But
sagacity and energy are not born
of the mere act Of consulting. When
all IS over, one individual will have

them unique. The next president will
as it were, lay his mind before his
counselors as q tabula rasa. They are
to try-to write on it something defi-
mite.
The process can not, Of course, be
so simple as that. Senator Harding
may appear only TO be listening. In
reality he will be judging. In the
end he himself will have to decide
the matter. Amid the floods Of advice
given to him, he will need to select
what he thinks good and reject the
bad. Nor can he come TO his decision

SOME PRIMARY INFORMATION
Candidates Should Read These Regu.
iations Carefully and Avoid Trouble


The multiplicity of candidates for
public Office this year makes Il i'm
portant that all should know the pro-
visions OF the primary law, the ig-
norance OF which has caused a great
deal of grief recently wcmfwy mfw
deal of grief lately.
When candidates are coming into
the political arena so rapidly and
when so many of the number are new
to the business is a time when all
should be we'll advised OF such rights
they enjoy, under the law, in the
matter OF spreading their particular
eyangels to the public. The laws OF
Michigan pretty strictly limit the met
nod and manner in which candidate
can conduct his canvass other than
by word OF mouth.
For the benefit OF candidates present
and to come the following brief di-
gest Of the election laws as they re-
late TO the candidate and the manner
in which he may publish his claims
and purposes has been prepared.
A newspaper may not publish any
political advertisement without plain
ly marking II as paid political adj
verusement. An editor or a publish
er may not accept money for advanc-
ing the interests OF any candidate ed
itorially
A candidates announcement con-
tanning any falsehod or liable will
bring down on the candidate the pen
alties provided for violations OF the
election laws. The limit is a fine Of
$1,000 and two years Imprisonment.
In primary campaigns no candidate
may publish in any way a picture Of
himself of more than one and one half
by two inches in size and no news
paper advertisement in which more
than ten per cent OF the type IS OF
greater size than the usual editorial
type OF that paper in which tho asye--
tisement appears.
A fine Of $500 and imprisonment for
six months for any violation OF tho
primary law IS the extreme psu,'ty.
This also applies to any public eIccc
