MARKS NEW ERA

The nomination Of Harding means
restoration Of reason and oTderliness
in government. For seyen years we
have had government by hysteris,
The country always wondered att
tr each new eccentricity OF Presi-
dent Wilson what his next amazing
feat would be. The bus ness world,
the industrial world, was always in
suspense and doubt. There was con
iidenoe in only one thing-that with
in a short time the President would
reverse himself on some one OF
his policies, or would startle the ma
ton by some new and uncerta n UNI
dertaking. Il was known that Mr..
Wilson consulted few if any OF his
friends and chose as friends only
those men who would permit their
minds to go along with his. II was
one-man government, with an ezra
tic and egotistic man at the head
A far different state OF affairs will
be established with the Inauguration
OF Mr.. Harding. Accustomed IN his
service in the Senate 10 think care
fully before acting. and disposed 10
take counsel with other men OF
knowledge and experience, and to
give due weight 10 their Judgment.
Harding can be depended upon 10

fed, ooniidence-commanding admin
istration. The American people will
heartily welcome a return 10 repres-
tntat'ye government. They have had
a plenty OF autOoracy.

HOME TALENT

Max Grayerling,

Ere. men freely work Whoever
fears God fears to SIT at ease.-Mrs
Browning.
Many people think because some
person or something comes from
their town they can't possibly
amount TO much. Sometimes this idea
is correct, often il is decidedly wrong,
The French idolize their artists, &C
tresses and great men. They prefer
their own fashions, in short what
ever is French is far superior TO that
Of any other nation.
The Germans were intensely pat
riotic. Everything German they felt
was the best on earth. This IS or
was before the war true Of all the
European nations.
Americans have entirely lacked
these sentiments. a man IS great az
ter he i. dead. II he becomes great
and Continues 10 live we soon forget
what he did Our artists have been
obliged 70 go abroad and win fame

Congress passed an act strengthen
ing the law against boarding, vast
ing, specializing, or asking exhor-
bitant prices.
But the section of the statute CT
ted above, and the Presidents own
declaration that prices were not JUS
titled BY shortage but were extor-
ted by methods that were criminal,
serve 10 demonstrate the failure of
his administration TO cope with the
cost of living problem when it had
adequate power and adequate funds.
Nearly three years after the enact
ment of the Food Control Act, and
ten months after his address TO con-
Eress quoted above, the administra-
ton has not secured any consider
able or effective number OF convic-
tons of the hoarders and spectators
of whose acts the President declared
ne had knowledge.

before they were recognized here in
America. Singers and actresses the
same.
This is an entirely wrong state
of affairs, and looks to the world al
large as if we were unable to form
opinions but must wait and find out
what they say Europeans first
thought, then we adopt their views
Every year Americans spend mil
lions in foreign countries visiting the
old cathedrals and famous old cast
les, listening to Their great singers
and actresses and viewing the won
derful collection OF pictures. Yet IT
we had them in this country, doubt
if we would spend $40 to see the
same things.
Let us change this condition of at

ghbors and fellow citizens to accom-
plish things here in America
Mrs. William Rice entertained the
Ladies Aid Society and their friends
a couple of weeks ago. A large num-
Der enjoyed her hospitality. At the
close of the informal meeting refresh
ments were served consisting of cot
fee, sandwiches and fruit salad. The
salad was simply del. cious and it
seemed to me that the fairies must
have given her the recipe for it was
too exquisite to havesbeen compound
ed by any ordinary mortal.
Mrs. John Hayden and Mrs. Floyd
Rice got up an interesting play a
few nights ago Those partic. paitng
were: Mrs. Melvin Mounts, Misses
Carrie Paxman, Alice Donaldson. and
Leone Knee, Messrs. Z. J. Paxman
Roy Wright, Clifford Williams and
Albert Bryan. Ii was an English play
entitled An A Mistake" but the ac-
tors were so thoroughly American
in their accent and manners that
II made the audience think 1t was
an American play,
The program opened with a couple
Of violin solos by Mr.. Raymond Lor-
inner with his sister Miss Madge Lor-
inner al the piano. The numbers were
greatly enjoyed. The Uncle Nj. Pax
man was a man of rank and believed
in the old English idea thai his nep-
hew should marry a woman oil his
rank and position. MI. Roy Wright
the heir had during hs wal eXper-
fence developed ideas OF his own and
had decided TO marry a girl he loved
The effort 10 break the unwelcomt
news was difficult and devious were
his methods. Both gentlemen acted
their parts well, The play was splen-
didly presented, and the acting was
excellent not only as home talent
but the performance could not have
been staged better had the actors
come to us from a city or even from
Santa Fe,
Several very fine violin selections
were played by Mr.. Melvin Mounts
and Mrs. Arthur Dagge,t sang two
beautiful songs, and We hope she VIII

was crowded and the audience laugh
ed and clapped. Eighty dollars was
taken in and donated 10 the church

CONGRESS DID ITS PART

By its own written record, the Vii
son administration stands convicted OF
failure in its attempts to deal with
the problem of high cost OF living.
In its 1912 platform the Democratic
party charged the Republican tariff
with responsibility for he cost OF
living. and in the campaign of that
year Woodrow Wilson stood square
iy on that platform. One OF his first
acts after election was to call a spe-
cial session of Congress, controlled
BY his own party, for the revision
O; the tariff. The tarlff was revised
in a name TO SUIT President Wilson
and the members of his cabinet. The
cost of living continued TO increase,
and, what made matters worse, the
revised tariff duties admitted foreign
goods at such a low rate Of duty
that hundreds OF American mills re-
duoed their output, cutting down their
forces Of employees, and throwing
hundreds OF thousands oi men ont
~ work The Wilsonized Democra-
tic party not only failed n IT'S promise
10 reduce the cost Of living, but II
reduced the capacity Of the people
10 buy.
Blu, that was only the frs. failure
That there should have Nee- u
increase IN prices after tho Outlook
of the war, was 10 be expected. But
the first failure to reduce the cost
occurred before the outbreak OF the
war. Let us see the facts regarding
the failure after the outbreak of the
var.
The Food Control Act made il un-
lawful ia hoard any Of the neceS-
sities OF life, and boarding was de
clared 10 consist OF holding, contract
ing for. in excess OF reasonable re-
quirements. a penalty OF 5000 fine
or imprisonment for two years, OF
both, was imposed. 1t was made a
crime to limit facilities for produc.
ing or transporting the necessities OF
life, under penalty OF Sl0,0m fine OF
two years imprisonment or both. il
was made a crime TO waste or des-
troy any necessities, under penalty OF
5000 fine or two years imprison-
ment or both. The President was CIV
en- almost unlimited power TO control
the marketing of the neoossaries Of
life through a licensing system, and
this power was exercised. An appro-
priation Of sls0yOO.OO was made 10
carry ont the provisions at the Food
Control act. So far as congress could
DO SO, It gave President wilson the
power and money TO regulate the
cost OF living.
Now let President Wilson's own
words be quoted in evidence OF his
failure. On his return from France IN
the summer of 1919, where he had
lcen devoting his attention 10 the
welfare Of Europe, he found the Am
eriran people intensely wrought M
over the problem of the high cost Of
living. He proceeded 10 the Capi,ol
and addressed congress saying, am
ong other things:
The prices the people OF tbs coun-
Try are paying for everything that is
necessary for them TO use in order 20
1--we are not justified by a shortage ~
snppiy, either present or proSpec-
I've We know that IT (the bur len
OF prices) IS willfully imposed. Somt
Of the methods by which these pr
css are produced are already Illegal
some Of them criminal"
Acting upon the request on the
President for additional legislation,
