There probably is no man better
equipped to meet the perplexing for
eign questions that will come before
the United States government during
the next few years than Leonard
Wood. He is well and favorably
known to practically every govern
ment in the world, and in many. many
cases is personally known to the
highest officials. He has often and
always successfully represented his
country on delicate foreign missions.
He knows not only Europe, but South
America. He knows the attitude OF
the western hemisphere toward the old
world. and the old worlds attitude
toward the new. He has been In po-
sitions Of trust where he could as
simulate these things, and he has re-
tanned them, for what Leonard Wood
once has learned he never forgets.
His entire career has been that OF
a statesman rather than that OF a SOL
der. His record stands rather as
that OF an executor rather than a
fighter, rather that Of q builder and
constructor than OF a destroyer. the
natural record of q soldier.

Capital has reigned long and

tottering and both the Laborer
and Farmer are scrambling to as

cried out against the commands of
Capital accusing it of injustices,

But now it is they who want to

unjust, and unfair and it is they
who will show the same greed for

would be a valuable adjunct to an

far toward insuring the selection

Would it not seem important to
every voter to resolve IN his or her
own mind to go to the polls at the
coming March primaries and take a
part in actually voting for a man
for President Of the United States
at a tine when such a vote will
mean much in the selection Of the
best man on the Republican ticket.
Frank o. Lowden Of Illinois,
born ia Minnesota, reared in Iowa,
of necessity knows the heartfelt in
terests Of the people of the north
western States because, he is a man
who has had the same experience on
the farm, in business, as other men

industries which are common in
this part of the country, and which
mean SO much to the entire nation.

THE PUBLIC"

The great class of people who
cannot join a labor union, are not
farmers so that they a join any
of the farmers organizations and
certainly lack the qualifications to
be q member Of q capitalist union,
is awakening at last.
A Union of the Middle Glass
has been organized in New York
state and been granted a certif-
cate Of incorporation. The move
ment found foot in Great Britain,
when it was discovered by some
statician that the Middle Glass
outnumbered the labor union
members more than 2 to l.

THE SCREWS
ON THE ADVERTISERS

Consistency has been said to be
a virtue, but that was before
Townley came and conservative
farmers began to read Of direct
action" industrial democracy
and such stuff, in the county pap
ers. Our Nonpartisan papers
blow right up when they get upon
the subject of some l. w. W. or
Bolshevik being restrained from
denouncing the government or in
citing violence. They claim to be-
lieve every citizen should have the
right to say and do whatever he
pleases no matter who it hurts
except in the case of officers OF
the law enforcing the law against
them. To state it in another way.
the cry of the Nonpartisan papers
has been that there should be no
restriction upon the action of any
one in the matter Of speech or &C
ton. If the business men of a
town believed it was against the
best interests of the community to
allow some fellow of questionable
loyalty to speak, it was an outrage
"a boycott against the farmer,
and the town people yer using
their power to prevent a free dis
~cussion of the issues.
! Now all this sounded very good
to some people, but n would
think Nonpartisan papers would
be consistent enough to carry the
idea a little farther and denounce
any movement seeking to limit the
free action of the merchant and
business men in the conduct OF
their business. But that is diff
lferent. In about all the Nonpar-
,tisan weeklies we notice poorly
camouflaged hints to merchants to
advertise in the n. P. papers or
some farmers will resent it and
not patronize them. In some
towns the farmer stock holders
have openly threatened the bust
ness men with loss Of their trade
unless they advertised in the n.
IP. papers. The ordinary country
paper gets advertising upon its
merits and no democratic or re
publican paper we have ever heard
of has asked its subscribers to
boycott q merchant because he did
mot advertise. OF course, no
country merchant who has any
self respect is going to be bull
dozed into advertising where he
does not want to. but if threats
are carried out. in some Of oul
neighboring towns some Of the
merchants may temporarily lose
some trade to their weakened
competitors. Everyone with com
mon sense knows that : majority
OF these new N~onpartisan papers
are going to lose money from the
start, that there never was any
real need of them, and that the
only way they can be kept going
lis BY passing the hat frequently
Before the final blow-up they arr
going to be bitter and blame ev
eryone within range for Their
downfall. The merchant who be
liieves he has the right to say how
his business should be run is 90
ing to have = hard time Of it, bu'
IL he keeps his selfrespect and re
fuses to be coerced he will in tn,
end como out way ahead.-Summi'

CONNELLY HELD
TO Be GUILTY
Accused Of Violating City Build
inz Ordinance in Constructing
Party Wall.

In Municipal Court this morning Jud9e
Hnstines, in the caso of William M.
Connolly, charged with violating tho city
building ordinance, held that the de.
fondant is guilty Of both charges, but
said fne would be imposed in but one
case. :.
Philip l.. Garrett, counsel for Connolly
gave notice of an appeal and asked for
IN arrest of judgment. The case was
then ordered continued until Tuesday
morning, to permit Mr.. Connolly to be
court
In the decision the court held that
under the city charter, the owners, Il
they agree, may fix the line of party wall,
while under the ordinance neither can do
anything until the city engineering
department has fixed the lines. After
that even. the court held, party wall
could not be built unless both parties
consented.
Judge Hastings also said that City
Council should name persons to fill the
Offices Of surveyors and regulators, not
named at present. The court held this
could be done without any additional
expense to the city.
Mr.. Garrett first asked for an arrest
of Judgment until such time as weather
conditions permit Mr.. Connolly to re-
move the wall in question. Assistant
City Solicitor Davis objected to this.
This case arose over party wall Mt
828-S3O West Fifth street and has been
pending in court for some time.
