SECOND OPEN LETTER TO
Mr.. HARDING AND MR.. COX
By Dr.. Frank Crane

In the name of the American people | ad-
dressed letter to you, urging whichever one
of you happens to be elected to form coali-
ton government.
That is to say, to call in members of the
opposing political party to take places in your
cabinet. ,....
This would involve also consulting frequently
with leaders of the opposite party in the SEN
ate and house, so that the executive and legiS-
lative branches of the government might work
in harmony.
This letter is written to amplify, reinforce
and emphasize the last.
| You must realize that most of the ills Of this
| country come from partisanShip, from class
spirit and the blind love of fighting.
1t was this that got us into the tangle about
the League of Nations.
| 1t is this same spirit that causes all the
trouble in our industrial relations Capital and
| labor, instead of working together, work
| against each other.
If you could set the example of Cancellation,
concession and compromise in your high office
the benefits of it would flow into every depart
ment of activity in the country
1t would lessen the sectarian animosity of
the churches.
| 1t would heal our widening breach with our
recent allies in the war.
| 1t would quicken and increase production in
industry by bringing head workers and hand
workers into cooperation.
| The whole country now is suffering from the
residuary poisons of war.
+ Every step we try to take to get out of the
pit is hampered by colossal organized envieS
and hates.
| Is it not time to stop all this?
-, You know that the administration of PreSi-
dent Monroe was called "the era off good feel
| ing" At that time for a space the bitter antag-
oniSmS of the young republic abated and foun-
dations ere laid for permanent progress.
| Is it not time for another era of good feeling?
Can any one estimate the vast advantage it
, would be to America and to the world?
! And is there any other way for such an era
to be uShered in than by recognition that your
political opponents, although viewing fittings
from a different traditional angle than yourself,
are?
| We say nothing concerning the present con-
flict. The American people will determine that
| in their sovereign freedom. They are going to
select one of you to be president.
| But remember, that no matter which one of
you is elected; he will receive many votes
from the opposite party, and he is to be presi-
dent of United States and not leader of po-
! ltcal party. 1t will be hard and unpleasant
/ thing to resist the claims of the hungry part-
sans who have championed your, cause. They
will demand the humiliation of their opponents.
| But can you afford to listen to them?
| We are in the midst of great peril, indus
| trial and political. The waves are high and the
storm is threatening. All we ask of you is,
whichever one of you is chosen captain OF the
ship, to pipe GAIL hands on deckl

A RICH woman has just been

that she could not bear the thought
of their having to. undergo the

The South's Sure PROSPERITY

rF anyone be dubious of the South's
economic stanehness and her assurance
- of full-t1owing prosperity in the years
ahead, let him dip. into the recent annual
report of President Fairfax Harrison, OF the
southern Railway system. The facts there
set forth and the forecasts reasoned from
them will kindle enthusiasm in the coolest
ava. From the days when Southern people
struggled for a bare existence says Mr..
Harrison, "they have evolved into an indus
trial center which is being viewed by the
world as an achievement" Year by year for
the last half century they have advanced
from the position Of mere producers OF "a"
material to manufacturers of finished prod
usts and all along tits upward course thelr
withdrawing, wealth-holding capacity mas
increased Today they are in the full swing
of that constructive tendency. What else,
then, but prosperity is to be expected?
Thirty years ago, Mr.. HARRISON points
ont. only FIVE hundred and twenty-eight
thousand eight hundred and ninety-fEe bales
of cotton were consumed by Southern mills
land that went into the manufacture OF
yarn and unbleached fabrics which were sent
to other eenters for completion Last year
Southern mills consumed three million TOUR
aundred and ninety-one thousand bales,
(which were turned into finished products
without leaving Southern factories" Never
efore in the history of this fertile region
fere so many new industrial enterprises and
.lustrial expansions in course OF construc-
on Five hundred and eight new indus
les were completed and put in operation
'ong the lines of the Southern Railway sys-
IN, and two hundred and ninety-four in
ustries were enlarged during the year 1919
ad the first six months of 1920. Capital
the amount of $225,S16,O0O was invested
A new industries and in the extension of
I'd enterprises in the territory served by the
outhern Railway system during the three
cars from July 1, 1917, to June SO, 1920,
and the estimated cost Of plants under con-
5truetion on the latter date was $685.

Here we have the very heart and sinew
of prosperity Surface conditions may grow
ruffled and clouded for while; processes
OF readjustment may call moments halt

deep beneath transient doubt and depres-
sion run the currents of an inexhaustible
business vigor. AS speaks President Harri-
son, 30 speak the ablest observers in every
feld of Southern interest, whether of COM

wondrously blest region we hold an empires

DISEASE AND EFFICIENCY
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

TT is automatic that the healthier man is
| the better he is able to do his work. But
it by no means follows that poor health
/ is an absolute destroyer of efficiency. Men
may be highly efficient despite the pres
ence of outright and serious disease.
Recall the notable career of Charles Darwin,
for forty years afflicted with such an impair
ment of health that he could work but short
time daily. Yet SO ably did he use his brief
working periods as to win for himself a lasting
fame and give an entirely new direction to the
current of scientific thought.
Kant, justly rated as among the world great
est philosophers was another victim of semi
invadSm. The elder Pitt is only one of long
line of celebrities who worked to exceedingly
good purpose despite the tormentS of govt
The foundations of the modern treatment of
tuberculosis were largely laid by the famous
Trudeau after he himself had been stricken by
| that dread disease. Robert Louis Stevenson,
| likewise tuberculous, splenddy enriched our
| literature working bravely until the end~sin
| faraway Samoa.
| More recently George Edward Barton an
other sufferer from tuberculosis, instead of
| Supnely yielding to disease, became a pioneer
in the development of scientific occupatonal
| therapy. And everybody knows what Helen
Keller has accomplished, in the face of almost
incredible physical limitations.
These are only few of the efficient sick
| whose. names reCur to my mlnd as / write.
Numerously the list might be extended to give
emphasis to the comment of one obseryant
physicians:
"The extent to which man is disabled de-
| ponds partly on the nature of his disease, but
perhaps more ON sthe way he reacts to it."
| Which, | need hardly add, should be taken
much to heart by any man or woman afflicted
with some disease that seemingly makes future
achievement out of the question.
! The disease, to be sure, may be of such a
character that achievement in ones former
occupation is indeed out of the question. Or
it may impose pitiful shortening of active eff
fort during the waking hours.
But almost always some useful occupation
may be found. Almost always means may be
devised to engage in that occupation with ap-
preciabe efficiency.
| The result will be advantageous in more ways
| than one, provided the invalid or Semi-nvalid
refrainS from OVERRIDING. There may even be a
distinct curative effect, thanks to the energzing
influence which the pleasure of achievement ex-
erciseS
In anySevent, disease will no longer be the
unmitigatad misery it is bound to be when its
victim is Impressed with an erroneous feeling
of absolute incompetency and fneffciency. And
some prolongation of life may be hopefully
looked for as illustrated by the experiences of
every one of the efficient sick named above

1NHE nine thousand-mile flight Of four
Army airplanes from New York to
Alaska and back gives striking dem
onstration Of the stanchness and agility OF
the machines as well as the skill and hardi-
hood OF their. pilots. The long course led
and above regions where landing was pecu-
Harly difficult and dangerous. It was in
deed o triumph of mechanical talent to pro-
duce craft at once delicate enough for flight
and strong to Withstand the strain and shock
OF so arduous an adventure. There was never
doubt that human daring would be equal
to the demands Of great aerial VOYAGES; but
who, save the most imaginative, could have
pictured, a generation ago, machines that
would lend themselves SO effectively to mans
sky-cleaVing thoughts?
These army planes have shown that it
Is altogether feasible, as far as the aeronau-
TIC side Of the case is concerned, to send
mail, passengers or commercial cargoes from
the States to Alaska in some forty-eight
hours instead of the thirty days required by
rail- and steamer. Practical students point
out, however, that the cost of air transpor-
tation you'd be SO much the greater, at least
ip Its initial stages, as to prevent its wide
spread adoption. It should be noted, never
f1heless, that the expense Of establishing an
air route is far less than that of building a
rail- line. with its large outlays for labor and
materials. Eventually, moreover, the ship
per or traveller might find the great time
1Ying OF the air route well worth a doubled
charge. Certainly as the volume of business
rietWeen Alaska and the States increases
there will be many occasions where gain of
hreP weeks or more in the transmission
81 mails and certain commodities will be of
Ugh advantage.
Mean while the shorter air mail routes
such as those between Washington and New
York and between New York and Chicago
appear to be justifying themselves on the
