II note" the statement said. that
the Democratic candidate announces.
as one of the first reforms he mas in
mind. to appoint a real dirt farmer
as Secretary of Agriculture. That is
a reform the Republican party does
not need to adopt. For sixteen years.
under three Republican administra-
tons. we had a real farmer from a
real farm as Secretary OF Agricul-
ture-Uncie Jim Wilson. of Iowa
who made the Department of Agri-
culture the greatest of its sort in the
world. He ran il for the farmers.
made it an instrument to fight for
the farmers and TO serve them in d
thousand ways.
When the Democrats came into
power they brought university
president as Secretary of Agriculture
and after him a publisher. The Dem
ocratlc party certainly needs 10 be
reformed in this regard. The Re-
publican party certainly does not
AS in the past. the Republican party
will go on developing the depart
ment for the service of real farms
and real farmers.
The truth is that if the great
development Of Agriculture that Jim
Wilson built up under Mckinley,
Roosevelt and Taft, had been main
tanned and carried forward under
the old Republican ideals of prac-
teal usefulness. half our problem of
high cost of living would have been
solved for us in advance.
1T is gratifying TO see this early
recognition of al least one mistake
Democratic administration and pur-
pose 70 correct il by returning TO
Republican methods. A lot of others
Will be found that can best be cor
rected IN the same way: and when
the country comes TO pass on the
program. il Will decide to apply the
Republican method of correction di-

League is Told
British and Japs
to Link Up Year More

London. July l2-Great Britain and
Japan have notified the League of
Nations that they have prolonged
their treaty alliance for a year. ac-
cording to the Daily Mail. AT the same
time pointing out that the terms or
the treaty are IN accord with the
principles or the League.
The reason for the prolongatlon
of the treaty. according to the Mail
is that Great Britain has not vet had
an opportunity TO consult with the
Dominions regarding a revision of
the treaty. which is necessi1ated by
the elimination of German influence
IN the Far East
Negotiations for a prolongation Of
the alliance between Great Britain
and Japan have been IN progress for
some time. Dispatches have asserted
that il was planned by the rwo na-
tons 70 revise the alliance in order TO
make it conform with the provisions
OF the League of Nations. Consider
able opposition 10 the continuation Of
the treaty has been expressed by the
Australian newspapers. and likewise
in China feeling against il has been
somewhat strong. The Chinese gov
eminent protested against a renewal
Of the compact without China being
consulted.
A dispatch from Honolulu June IS
said announcement had been made in
Toxic that British and Japanese Dip
lomats in conference in London. had
decided 70 revise the entire treaty in
order to make il conform with the
League of Nations covenant and TO
meet the international situation the
treaty had created.
