Everyone is out of step except Pres

President Wilson has heard "few

Colonel "Bill" Bryan is now heard

Europe is wondering whether the

Former Secretary Redfeld who has

Will President Wilson permit us to

REASON RULES
ROOTS REMARKS

Hon. Elihu Root sounded what may
be called the "key-note" of the COM
ing political campaign when he ad-
dressed the New York State unofficial
Convention. Reason rules his re-
marks.
"The war has left the whole world
in a condition of disturbed nerves"
says Mr.. Root, "and our business as a
party is to address ourselves with
cheerful courage and confidence to the
public problems demanding solution"
A party can produce the shining
and potent example of thrifty and
economical government"
Government "can be reduced to
practical and instructive form by the
establishment of an effective budget
system"
1t is difficult to cut down expenses
without assistance from the heads
of the departments and the bureaus"
Another thing which should be done
is "to revise the system of taxation"
"a new tariff law must be framed
to meet new and difficult conditions"
at is dangerous for a people to
acquire the habit of bowling to power
without limit. They soon become sub
servient. Then character essential to
freedom, degenerates."
81 honor the Senators for the cour-
age and fortitude with which they
maintained the authority of the con-
stitution."
"No man ever lived who could be
trusted to negotiate a complicated
and important treaty without having
his work tested by the independent
judgment of Others"
"A congress Of nations should be
called to consider and declare what
of international law still remains"
"The extreme effects of arbitrary
powers are seen in the extraordinary
letters Of the President to Secretary
Lansing" from which it apears that
"honoest and independent advice is an
offense."
The question of Bolshevism, Amer
icanism, deportation, labor, etc., must
be solved in ga clear conception of
what our system of government is,
and what we mean it to be-"
1.-THE three things necessary TO
maintain the Government are: Uni
versal opportunity for education, re-
sponsibility of the governing body to
justice, real opportunity for each indi-
vidual to improve his condition."
"The right of free speech does not
include the right to incite, crime"
"The Republican party must purge
the Government of lot Of Bolshe-
visits and Bolshevist sympathizers. !"
The question is whether popular
government is to continue or is to be
charged into a class dictatorship"
I'VE should not take away the right
to strike. It is albor's great protec-
ton. But we should limit the right
to strike. 1t is labor's great protec-
In conflict with the community's high
err right Of self-preservation."

Madness of the Noon.

So far as we can gather, there is no
foundation for the old belief that the
moon affects the mind and brings about
madness in some people. The idea may
have originated from the word 'lun.

noon.

Of which is necessary for the growing

In the last issue OF the Louisiana
Planter, the recognized sugar maga-

another short crop In the same edi-

this crop has gradually decreased
from 1915, when it was S74,22O tons to
1919, when it was only 722,451 tons
This editorial states that many or the
beet sugar factories have been op'

TWENTY FOUR DOLLARS WORTH

Tut John Wanamaker, with that
twenty-four dollars of advertising
started something. He started one
OF the largest department atores OF to-
day which has meant the service as
VOL as the maintenance Of thousands
of people. And he attributes the
greater part Of his success net ohly
to the quality of service which MS
store gave but also to the advertising
which he paid for. His twenty-four
dollars was a larger proportion Of his
,rofits for the day than many hrms
use today but it brought results. And
John Wanamaker still expends very
large part of his income for the same
purpose,
He showed to the store keeper oil
the sixties. in those days when adyer
tising was considered a little bl'
shady and very cheap way o. doine
business that the right sort Of adyer
tising in the right medium was the
most important part of successful
