To the Editor Of The Tribune.

~-~NSO~
Sir: Your editorial "Pre- Convention
Funds" and the letter from "A. f. f."
are fine arguments in favor Of General
Woods nomination, in spite Of the fight
being made by Senator Johnson and
Senator Borah.
1 had three sons and son-inlaw in
the big war, and also supported John
son while living in California for Gov
ernor and Senator. johnson is an able
man, fierce, passionate orator, and
should make a good President, but
despise his most ardent supporters Of
the Hearst type; also do not think the
people of the United States Omen and
women) care for his opposition to a
league of nations.
failed to become a great S. 7ator. Since
coming to Washington aAo listening to
his speeches and watching his career as
Senator, l must say have been very
uiuCn uISappOluIeU III Inc man. he
shines in attack, but as a constructive
statesman he falls down hard.
In watching the course of General
Wood, his wonderful self-poise and dig
nifty and ability to handle critical situa-
tions, it seems to me he stands head and
shoulders above any candidate on either
side and would make a great Executive
l feel Colonel Roosevelt trusted Wood
and had greater respect for his charac-
ter and ability than he had for Johnson,
and if it came to a choice to-day he
would support Wood This, think, rep
resents IS per cent of the sentiment of
good Republicans East and West, North
and South, from all can hear and read.
Wood leads and should be nominated,
and I xal, like "a. E. H." willing to con-
tribute my "bit" toward the fund.

Campaign Stuff

tFrom Tho Rtchmo Times Dispotch)
When tho row is in our party it is a
healthy sign of active and intelligent
interest among the rank and file ana
cheering augury of victory. In the
other party it is proof of disintegra-
tion, a hopeless split and ignominious
defeat. Quietude in our party is CON
iidence and unity, in the other party
the fatal lassitude of despair. indif-
ference and impending death These
Intelligent opinions usually are as
cribed to "the sound conclusions Of a
veteran political observer whose pre-
dtctions have been infalliblc."

Free Publicity

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The campaign fund Of Major
General Leonard Wood seems to have
caused many newspapers great concern
Through narrowness, unfnirness and in
most instances because they favor other
candidates., they have seen fit to con-
fine their attacks solely upon Major
General Wood
There has not been a name mentioned
in connection with the Presidency that
the Senate Investigating" committee
has not shown to have had campaign
fund. The fact that they were unfortu-
nate in not having men of great and
ordinary means in numbers large enough
to make Worthwhile campaign is much
to the credit of Major General Wood
Major General Wood has had to depend
upon those who admired him, and who
launched his candidacy and took it upon
themselves to promote and finance the
publicity which was necessary and which
he has received
If Senator Johnson had had to nav
regular rates for the publicity he has
received in the newspapers throughout
the country when Senator Borah, one
Of his campaign managers, made his
Senate floor attack on General Woods
campaign fund, and tho paragraphs he
is getting daily in Arthur Brisbane's
"To-day" column and editorials, news
and other valuable space IN the Hearst
publications, the campaign fund figures
of General Wood would look small in
comparison.
Another instance Of free publicity is
that which Herbert Hoover has received
through the Curtis publications. "The
Ledger" "The Saturday Evening POST
and Country Gentlemnn." II reading
notice rates were paid for this publicity
the cost would run into thousands of
dollars.

Our Role As a Creditor Nation

Attention is properly called by the
Republican Advisory Committee on
Policies and Platform to the fact
that the United States has ceased
to be a debtor nation and become a
creditor nation. The obvious effec.
of this change will be an excess mer-
chandise balance in our foreign
trsGt -f iroscrts over exports. SAYS
the subcommittee report, pub
lished to-day:
Gust as prior to the war, when
debtor nation, we had to export more
than we imported to pay interest and
other invisible debit items. so In the
postwar period. as a creditor nation,
we must have an excess OF imports
over exports-to pay the creditor ma
ton It's interest. OF the ultimate
truth of this answer there can be no
question"
The war liquidated most Of our
foreign debt and made Europe a
borrower from us. The enormous
excuses Of exports over imports
which marked our foreign trade
from 1895 10 1920 cannot continue.
And since we havv to accept imports
in payment of our balance against
Europe, any government policy af-
zecting international trade must
recognize this change in the eco
nornic situation.
The report maintains, however,
that the shift from an export sur
plus to an import surplus will be
gradual. 1t will be retarded by the
suspension OF interesz payment on
our hugs government loans to the
European belligeren-z. II Europe
could manufacture goods beyond her

a Californian Against Johnson

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l do hope your great paper will
put forth every effort for the defeat
Of Hiram Johnson. Should the Re-
publicans name him at Chicago they
will suffer defeat and bring upon them
selves and the nation a disgrace hard to
survive. Johnson is an unscrupulous
fighter, and Borah little better, if any.
was for him for Governor-a mistake.
Wood, Hoover or Coolidge could win
possibly Lowden-but with tho last
it would be battle royal.

The Contest" Nuisance

chairman nays mas sent out word
that there is to be no contest "steam
roller" at Chicago. The contests,
involving 1872 seats, are practically
all from Southern states. Mr.. Hays
says that they will be decided on
their merits. That is a pious hope.
But there are many Southern dis
trict contests in which there is little
merit in the claim made by either
side that it represents a genuine or
ganization of voters, with clear
right to participate il the nomina-
tion of q national ticket.
The scandal of Southern over
representation in Republican con-
ventions reached it's climax in 1908
and 1912. In many Southern states
the party organization is shell, ex-
listing mainly for the purpose of
sending delegates to national con-
ventions and obtaining Federal pat
ronage. In 1913 the Republican
National Committee cut down South
ern representation by the simple de-
vice of allotting only one delegate to
each Congress district in which less
than 1900 votes were cast for Re-
publican candidate at the preceding
Presidential or Congress election.
This new apportionment rule had a
good effect. 1t reduced representa-
ton as follows: In Virginia, from
"a to 16; North Carolina, from "a
to %; South Carolina, from 1S to IL;
Florida, from IL to s; Georgia, from
% to II; Alabama, from "a to Ia;
Mississippi, from 20 to IL; Louis
lana, from 20 to 12; Texas, from 40
to %; Arkansas, from 18 to 13, and
Tennessee, from "a to 20. This
group Of states has 16S delegates.
Yet it is now furnishing more than
one hundred contests.
In great many states women
have the vote. They are likely to
have it very soon in all the states.
The limit Of $500 votes for single
delegate representation ought there
fore to be advanced automatically
to $1,000 before the 1924 convention
is held. This convention can easily
order such readjustment. But the
trouble in the Southern "rotten bor-
oughs" could be better ended by al
lowing no representation at all to a
district casting less than $500 Re-
publican votes, one to district cast
ing between $500 and 10000, two to
district casting between 10000 and
10000 and three to district casting
more than 10000.
Convention representation need
not be based on population. Each
state gets four votes as state
two for each Senator. After that it
is only fair to equalize power in the
party by varying the votes allotted
to the Congress districts. The ideal
is an ascertainment of genuine party
sentiment, and that ideal is hindered,
not helped, by the admission of dele
gates with negligible constituencies
and little or no party responsibility.
1t would be great relief if the Re-
publican conventions could get rid
once and for all Of the perpetual
Southern contestants and contestees.

The Agricultural Interest

lhe Agricultural Interest
Something more than decade ago
American agriculture, which always
has been, still is and which, let us
hope, always will be the country's
chief interest, underwent profound
change through the disappearance of
the frontier. For three hundred
years the virgin land stretched away
to the west, to be obtained for little
more than the asking. Then the
Pacific was reached.
During the last five years, while
readjustment was incomplete, has
come another change. It Is marked
by great increase in the capital
value of the arabic area "a rise
which makes for tenant farming),
an acute agricultural labor crisis
and by increasing dissatisfaction Of
the rural population. In no like Pc
riod of our history have cities grown
relatively faster and the township so
nearly stood still in population.
The advisory committee on the Re-
publican platform named special
subcommittee to consider agricul-
tural policies. This subcommittee
sketches in it's report the main diff
ficulties and suggests constructive
solutions.
Whatever the slackness elsewhere.
the farmers of America are working
as never before. The farm output has
increased not merely in dollar value
but in bushels and pounds. The pro-
duction per worker, long the highest
in the world, is at a new high level
this in spite Of the departure city
ward of a large percentage of the
younger workers.
But the strain Is terrific. What
can be done? Among things sug-
gested is legislation that will secure
the farmer cheaper credit not merely
on his land but on his personal se-
curity. The full benefits of our bank
ing system, for long almost the mo-
nopoly Of the urban business man.
need to be extended.
There must be more thorouqh
vocational and educational training
and still greater use of machinery,
The soil is wearing out, and to
provide plant food there must be en-
couragement Of the import of fer
tilizers.
There must be increased foreipn
sales Of agricultural specialties.
Better roads must be provided, not
for joy riding but for hauling, and
Federal aid for road building must
be continued and enlarged.
Finally. in every possible way co.
operative agencies to lessen the toll
OF the middleman must be stimulated.
The work must be done by voluntary
action, but the government can
greatly assist. Our distributing and
marketing system in many respects
is grossly archaic.
These proposals are not political
in the usual sense. But it Is proper
for the Republican party to interest
itself in bettering rural conditions.
The partys chief support has been
in the country Its future will be
dark when it loses the confidence of
that great body Of people who see
more than roofs and factory walls
and of whom it may be said without
offense to others that they are
Americans.

An Idyl of the Mantelpiece


She has an air Of discomfort,
The Dresden china shepherdess,
AS If being an ornament
Were her idea Of nothlngness.
While Strephon, her devoted swain.
All clad In pink and palest blue,
Plays on his pipes of porcelain,
AS Dresden china shepherds do.
He pipes the sweet Arcadian airs
In days long gone that won her heart:
All, what cruel fate is theirs.-
A length Of mantelpiece apart!
The while he trills his melody,
She dreams Of old remembered things:
OF summer days long time gone by,
And vanished Dresden china SPRINGS.
In fancy still she wanders free
Each we'll rem membered sylvan SPOT.
Through meadowland Of greenery,
And shaded grottoes unforgot.
And very, very far away
The sheep they left so long ago,
In what rococo landscape stray
Where Dresden china breezes blow

following:

To simplify the taxes on in

To peovide employment and

DAYLIGHT SAVING MIX up

Light, which is supposed to be
one Of the best Of all influences.
Is at present leading a double
life, owing 10 the confusion in
the dayIig -3ving movement.
After tie fret experiment in this
movement. begun in Europe az
a war sneasure, and extending
to this county, there was great
enthusiasm over its results. But
pronounced opposition to it be-
gan to develop. and, as with
every great question affecting
the popular swelfare the public
becomes divided into pros and
ants, each party ranging .cogent
arguments on its side Of the CON
troversy. When the time set BY
the government = for the expert
ment expired this controversy
waged fierceIy, states, cities and
sections taking up the question,
each introducing or suggesting
laws governing its particular
clocks.
The cities and towns with
manufactures, factories and vari-
Gus industries involved were for
the daylight saving The rural
districts were as firmly against
1t. The farmers contended that
cows, chickens and live stock
generally refused to be governed
by artificial regulations on rising
and bedtime, and with milk. but
ter and eggs in their present
pre-eminence, the authors o.
these necessaries Of life, or rath-
er, luxuries, could not have their
wishes disregarded with impun-
ity.
The farmers are too important
class in the life of the nation
to be ignored, and so the Iegis-
lators, torn between the two
factions, hesitated, and some
of them were lost. The result
is that some sections have adopt
ed daylight saving, and some
are still on the old basis Of time,
and there is dire confusion as the
result. For a man cannot adjust
his watch or his lock to his taste
without regard Of his neighbors. .
as he san his hat or his tie, and
Withous a common standard Of
