MR.. BLYTHE AND THE "VOX
POPULI."

Mr.. Samuel Blythe, more or les
man Of letters, philosopher anC
political prophet par excellence
in the course Of a long article il
periodical, expresses profound
fear that the "yoX populi" won't
"vox' in conection with the huge
task of picking a candidate for
president, which confronts the pa
triots Of our great and glorious
country. Observing that the mag
ic transformation, which some
eminent authorities predicted
would come out Of the crucible
or war, ushering in a "neW
heaven and new earth, " where
in politics and all other things
would be changed. has thus far
failed to drive up, Mr. Blythe, in
his perigrinations over the land.
discovers that the same old forces
are at work, with the prospect
that. instead Of having a presi-
dent who is the choice Of the
"vox populi, F." we shall have one
who is hand-picked by the pro-
fessional politicians, after custom
that has prevailed from the pc
riod whereof the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary. "
Wherefore, Mr.. Blythe .girds up
his loins and wades into the job
of waking up the "vox populi, "
to the end that it may bestir it,
self and begin "voxing," thereby
taking the play away from the
busy politicians,
Continuing his dissertation,
with a view to directing the men
tal processes back Of the "voX
populi," " in the right channel, the
philosopher proceeds to point out
what kind Of man we need in the
White House. Analyzing the
thing, he reaches the conclusion
that since America is plc-cmi- |
nently a business nation, prosper
ity at home and in our CONNER
cial dealings abroad demands
first Of all that the head boss of
the whole concern be a business
man. The fact that the politicians
never have picked a business man
for president is alluded to by Mr.
Blythe as sufficient proof that
they won't select such man at
this time and hence, as you can
plainly see, if we are to have an
man on the job, it is up
to the "vox populi'' to get busy.
To fairly present Mr.. Blythe's
view, it should be stated that, in

am the Lord thy God, which
have brought thee lr. of the land of
Egypt out Of the honse Of bondage.
Thou shalt have 40 other Gods
before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee
any craven image, or any likeness
OF anything that is in Heaven above,
Or that is in the earth beneath, or
that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself
to them, nor serve them: for the
Lord thy God am q jealous Cod
visiting the iniquity of the fathers
upon the children unto the third
and fourth generation OF them that
hate me:
And showing mercy unto thou
sands of them that love me and
keep my commandments

addition to making busines abil
| ity his prime qualification of ;
president, he insists that the can
didate must be a man OF success
ful experience in public as wei
as in private business. To make
his position still palmer, he pro
ceeds to point out several men
who seem to meet the require
ments. Disclaiming any desire to
"boost" any Of the gentlemen
suggested and using them wholly
for the purpose Of illustration, he
finds that Mr.. Hoover, Gov
Sproul Of Pennsylvania, and Chas.
Dawes, Of Illinois, appear to pos
scss the necessary qualifications.
although all of them are subject
to further scrutiny before they
can be properly appraised as
presidential timber.
Now all Of these are what
might be called matters Of mo
ment at this particular time Of
the moon and in the 1920 politi-
cal maneuvers. With Mr.. Blythe s
contention that The "voX populi"
should begin to concern itself
with the important bushes which
is before the house. we presume
there will be little disagreement;
the principle back of it is funda-
mentally sound and the policy isl
altogether salutary AS to the
main thesis which this brilliant
publicist elucidates, we may well
pause to deliberate a moment.
Other things being equal, it
would certainly be a distinct adj
vantage to have a busines man
for president but that business
and statecraft are Synonymous |
terms is open to serious question
ii would be rare indeed to find a
man who is pre-eminently gifted |
with business ability and who has
achieved marked success in the
busines sworld, who at the same
time possesses the peculiar quail
fications requisite in the chief eX-
ecutive of the nation. 1t is true
that in a sense the government is

it is a business distinctly differ

The direction Of it calls for tai

Funny How they Take 1t

Andold custom in TIE Falcon office
has been sending the PAGER regularly
to subscribers until it was ordered
stopped. Uncle Sam stepped in two
years ago and ordered all papers be cut
from the list those in arrears for GER
tain periods and we cut off several hun.
dred as ordered. But with the war over
the order became imperative and coun-
try papers dropped back into old practi-
ceslaud let papers go to subscribers not
paid in advance. Last week The Falcon
began mailing out subscription bills.
All bills for subscription to newspapers
everywhere are payable IN ADVANCE
And We billed every body 10 advance.
And there began the howl. Many sub
scribers swore they owed us nothing
aud refused topsy declaring the present
years subscription not due until the
end OF the present year.
Then, and here's where we laugh an
other came along ard declared he paid
for the paper for year and il we sent
it beyond that time it was our fault and
he would not pay for the extra time.
So there you are, we are damned if we
do and we are damned If we don't.
We are mailing bill, to every one on
the list. If we make an error we are
glad to correct it. But we do want to
impresslthat all newspaper subscriptions
are payable IN ADVANCE and not at
the end of the year, and we asked
every one receiving bill to send check
Tor cover same.

The First Bale Last Friday

The first bale of cotton of the present
season to come to Somervile was
brought in last Thursday by Jack Hun
ter Of the fourth district aud was gin
ned Friday by the Central Oil Mills
gin, this first bale coming in three days
later than the first bale OF last year.
This was expected. as the crop has
been notably later all the season than
or several years past.
Owing to some troubles in ginning
and pressing this first bale, following
the lnstsllment by the gin of newtmach-
'nery and getting ADJUSTMENTS properly
made, the bale when completed was
not counted as altogether desirable by
buyers and satisfactory bids were not
made for it and it was not sold This
caused word to go out that no offer
was made by buyers, without the ex-
plantations given above, Two bales
came to town Saturday, were ginned
and offered for sale and bids of 2sc 2st
were made for them, but neither bid
was accepted and the baies,were hauled
back home. it is told us.
The condition of the market ia chatoc
and uncertain. Nobody can predict ils
future, The spectators and mills
have, we confidently believe, made
deliberate determination and plan 10
get the crop for song as compared
with the price Of production, ahd.the
only remedy that can be seen is for
farmers to refuse to sell as did those
Saturday until fair price is offered.
The American Cotton Association has
fixed 4Oc as fair price and every farm
er is asked by the association to hold
oft the market every possible bale until
the price offered reaches that figure.
