ed man to declare in an interview that
he is in favor of the election Of Hard
ing and Coolidge and Republican

Major Crowell goes so far as to say that
he is in favor Of the league Of nations
but he prefers to take his chances on
getting the league with Senator Hard

REPUBLICANS INSURE
ECONOMICAL CONDUCT

Washington.-NOt one man I'm ten
thousand realizes the enormous eX-
penses run up by the present Govern
ment. The disbursements are rOngnly
$l5,0OO,OO0 a day. more than year
after the war. In 1914 the people
eXpostulated because the daily dis
bursements by the Treasury had
reached $2,OOO,OO0. How gladly would
the people grOaning under the impO-
siHons of profiteers and the burden OF
taxes welcome a return to those hal
cyou days Congress and the new Ad-
ministration will have to deal with
the reduction Of Government expcndi-
lures.
The same party that has sweled
them returned to power will never re-
duce them, because it claims the gov
ernment is being economically admin
istered. The Republican party will
delight in reducing these enlarged eX-
penses for clerk hire, and the insa-
table bureaus that have been built up
into money spending machines. BY
holding in their hands all lines of ex-
penditures the new Congress and new
Executive working together will cut
down excessive Items and eliminate
others to an aggregate Of hundreds
OF millions of dollars.

THE MAN WITH THE HOE.

When .Millet painted his famous
picture, 1.-The Man With the Hoe" he
made his picture one. Of physical
strength. physical WEAKNESS, ana
mental vacuity. 1t presents the pa
thos and the tragedy of drudgery.
The mar leaning on his hoe, muscles
relaxed, eyes vacant, ""the weariness
OF ages in his face" is a striking pre-
%sentation of the brutalizing influence
of the toll -hich is mechanical effort
only, unminsled with thought, without
nope and without outlook. It was a
truthful delineation of a certain type
OF Breton peasantry. Edwin Markham
enlarged upon the thought and made
its. application general, and his poem
has been used extensively by those
who would overturn the existing or
der to emphasize their contention that
manual labor has necessarily a dead
ening' influence unless that Influence
is avoided by he application of some
OF n nostrums which they advocate,
Neither he picture nor the poem is
a truthful portrayal Of labor and its
effects. The figure presented is that
Of the result of exceptional and ex-
trene conditions. All history proves
n a there is nothing debasing abou,
labor, no matter whether with hands
or brain, and the man with the hoe
can be, and usually is, as independent
as progressive and as Intelligent as
the man who lives a life Of ease.
