Former President w. H. Taft stat
ed at Port Huron. Mich, Tuesday,
that the election of Harding is the on
ly hope of the League, and on the
same day at Cincinnati, Senator Hi
ram Johnson called upon all good
Americans to support Harding be-
cause his election means abandon
ment of the League. Harding seems
to fill the bill for "all things to all
men,, but what do the voters think of
this disgusting spectacle?
The Farmington times., 1920-10-29
We could not stand it half a year.

We could not stand it half year.
What would we talk about at night,
Plan for and work with all our might,
Hold common dreams about and find
True union of heart and mind,
If we two had no greater care
Than what we both should eat and
wear?
We never knew loves brightest flame
Until the day the baby came.
And now we could not get along
Without their laughter and their song.
Joy is not bottled on a shelf,
II cannot feed upon itself,
And even love, if it shall wear,
Must find it's happiness in care;
Dull we'd become of mind and speech
Had we no little ones to teach.
No children in the house to play!
Oh, we could never live that way!

THANKSGIVING WEEK

1t is no perfunctory duty we set
out to do in writing a paragraph
this week for thanksgiving seuti-
ment. As a nation we have a great
cause for gratitude. and personally
/ % world never looked brighter
to us. Another year has rolled
around bringing to each Of our
readers a mingled record Of sad
and happy days. 1t also means
another milestone has been reach
ed in the journey onward! 1t has
been a year fraught with some
uncasiness, much unrest, and gen
eral material prosperity as a
nation.

great advances in our national

there is the famous zone half Of
one per cent of our people who
would be willing to go back to
the old days. The days of the
saloon, with a card table in the

snares and pitfalls which lurked
on every street corner to undo him
The public saloon has gone from

the saloon has gone.

vERsIoNT-TENN RACE MAY BE ON.

The leaders of the ''Womans party" call fol-
$4,000 to be donated at for expenses at Nash
VILE to adoption of ratification of the suf
frage amendment Intimation has been given that
Tennessee legislators hedging. The democrats
control the Legislature easily but if they are of the
same mind as fellow lawmakers in most of the
southern states, they are not willing to let women
in on the game of politics.
In the meantime, press dispatches state that the
governor of Vermont has had a talk with Senator
Harding about suffrage and early call of the
Yankee state legislature is again under considera-
ton, though the executive had considered he had
authority to assemble the body for the suffrage
emergency.
The suffrage association of Vermont thinks the
session is assured and has sent telegram of thanks
to Harding for his conference with the governor
The telegram asserted that the special session would
give splendid vote for ratification"
The Vermont association congratulated by
Mrs Carrie Chapman Gait, president of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage association, over
the prospect of ratification resulting from the con-
ference between Harding and the governor.
The woman's party organization and the suffrage
association not allied They pursue different
methods. The probably will stand for a move
ment to have women operate as party after get
ting the franchise The other has not adopted that
hobby and will doubtless dissolve as soon as suf-
frage becomes effective, its members following in
dpidua choice. but still insisting upon actual repre-
sentaton in committees which has already been in
conceded to them.
Possibly either Vermont Tennessee, either
party may make ratification complete. But that
will not seriously change the public consciousness
that the masses of the republicans have brought
about suffrage being first to grant it in of the
states, submitting it through republican congress
and ratifying by twenty nine states while only
democratic legislatures have sanctioned the amend
rnent and others have turned it down

HARDING ON PROHIBITION.

There was carried in Friday mornings issue OF
. this paper a communication from Louis McRae and
an advertisement containing Senator Hardings
speech made just before casting his favorable vote
for submission of the prohibition amendment to the
states.
Both were intended to show that Senator Hard
ing was a wet and in no more favorable attitude
toward prohibition than Governor Cox. As a matter
of fact they prove quite the contrary .
In making that statement we do not care to go
so far as to be understood saying that do not
wish an additional statement from Senator Harding.
We do. We feel he put new impetus into the
campaign by flat statement that prohibition is
the fixed policy of the United States and that he
fayors neither modification of the law nor a lax
enforcement of it.
Governor Cox went into deal with the Cincin-
natl brewers to bring about his reelection. Gin
tinnati is probably the wetest city in the United
States The deal he made increased his vote in that
city twice the amount of his total majority in the
state, In other words, but for that deal he would
have been defeated by as large majority as that
which elected him. For this political crime he will
not be forgiven by people who abhor such political
gutter-sniping.
Senator Harding announced in the senate that
he was not a prohibtionist, but that the demand
for an amendment had become so insstent that the
prohibtioniss entitled to test of strength to
if such was the will of the majority He there
fore voted for the amendment and made possible
that test of strength.
Such is the true spirit of the constitution Such,
too is the spirit of broad-minded men who would
not repress the majority merely because they hap
pen to disagree They cOncede the right of the ma
jority to rule. The same attitude would lead Senate
Harding accept the amendment the fixed will
of the majority
Senator Harding proved this by voting for the
Volstead enforcement act. He no doubt, accepts
prohibition as permanent. However, feel he
should say so In explicit language.
On his record such a statement would impress
the people as bona fide.
Such a statement from Governor Cox would not
have the marks of good faith.
incidentally, Senator Hardings attitude in this
matter furnishes inspiring illustration of his
deep belief in constitutional form of govern
ment and in the theory of the rule of the majority,

present except for the governmental administration
period. We are confronted by condition and not
a theory.
Our railroads must be put into condition to eff
fectually function both production and consump-
ton affected and economic system upset
with distress the penalty
Costs of reconstruction and of operation have
gone up for the railroads just they have for ev-
erybody else 1t is unfortunate that the needs of the
public compel vast expenditures for rehabilitation
at the peak of high prices, but continued pros
perity resures it,
The shortage of equipment at this moment is
estimated by competent authorities at 100000
freight cars 1000 passenger and 5000 locomo-
tives. These will present prices s610 000,O 900.
Labor costs already fifty per cent more than
they were before the war and, when justice is done
employees by the labor board in few days now,
they will be increased another fifty per cent, in all
probability.
The only way to meet these conditions is by an
increased freight rate. There is no other possible
source of income.
If we intend that general prosperity shall
not receive a terrific shock must lend infu-
ences in moldng the public sentiment which will
result in the acceptance of the impending neces-
sary increases
All this will be done, as it should be, under the
supervision of the International Commerce
mission
Reasonable liberality in permitting expenditures
and close supervision to prevent recurrence of the
evils of former day, should be the new govern
mental policy. 4.

CAR SHORTAGE AND PROSPERITY.

Three elements enter into economic prob
lens: Production, distribution and consumption
Much needed to be sad much has been said, and
more yet needs to be said about everybody getting
back to work and bringing UP production until war
waste is overcome and the requirements OF con-
sumption met
we have all advocated moderation in expendi-
lures and the doing of only necessary buying in
der to hold down consumption until production can
catch up.
But very little has been said about distribution.
Yet with breakdown in our system of distribu-
ton the whole structure falls. 1t is useless pro-
duce wheat in Kansas unless it be carried to
the man who needs it in New York Both the pro-
Queer and consumer interested in that problem.
The producer cannot sell unless he can deliver to
the buyer, and the consumer cannot consume unless
he can get the wheat to himself. !
There are many minor, yet essential, factors In
our complex system Of distribution. but the great
outstanding vehicle il our railroads.
Is now useless for to argue whether railc1
road conditions would have been better or worse at

THE DREAM OF YOUTH.
Copyright, 1890. by Edgar A. Guest.

\ Those glorious days of long ago. when youth and
strength were ours to know,
When all our dreams were far ahead and we
| were strange to care,
Then splendor crowned the hills afar. wonder
now IL still they are MIX.
AS mystical to those who stand to gaze upon
them there.
Oh do the youngsters of today still seek the land
Of far-away
And paint their pictures over there of pride
and pomp and fame?
And do they think, as once we did that when of
youth they once are rid
The real delights and happiness of life they'll
quickly claim?
Those golden days of long ago, when we were all
too young to know
The bitter side of life see the welt of fail
| ure's sting,
We dreamed our dreams of strength and age, of
deeds we'd do and wars we'd wage
And from the distance thought success was
such an easy thing.
wonder now If those who sigh to reach the
glorious by-and-by
Still fancy, as we used to do that duty's tasks
are light?
And do they think that they shall find the world
and all its people kind
And never know by day or heavy
heart by night?
Now we have left that long-ago the distant hills
we've come TO know
We've sought our dreams affair and near, and
many path we've turned
We've felt the whip and spur of life, we've had
to- bear share Of strife,
And many truth in grief and woe and bitter
ness we've learned
Success is not the easy thing it seemed to be in
dreams of spring.
There's much to bear and much to face and
many cruel test, 9.
But STILL despite the lines of care which weary
men and women wear.
