1DEAL1srs, PLACE IN THE WORLD.

Idealists have their place and function. The
world owes a vast debt to them, and nations
which lacked them would be poor indeed. Yet
they are rarely or never practical Their plans
do not work Their value to society lies in their
ability to stir the emotions of the people and
thus spur practical men to take some practical
steps.
We lust not underrate for history viii not,
such services as Mr. Wilson has rendered the
world He has done more than anyone else to
set the nations thinking about international CO.
operation for common worthy ends He made
the league idea more familiar to the thoughtful
elements in all the nations and thus aided pow
erfulIy in turning the minds Of peoples to the
advantages Of cooperating effort. In SO doing
he has worked along evolutionary lines for the
betterment of mankind. For idealists in all the
ages have dreamed of leagues, and few intelh
gent people question that world progress to
higher civilization will be along this path.
Everything shows that it must be SO.
But, as usual with idealists, Mr. Wilson had
a particular plan of his own to which he was
so greatly attached to be blind to its defects
and unable to see the slightest merit in any other
plan. This is commonly the case with reform
ers or idealistic innovatOrs Of every kind. Take
the case of Senator Sumner of Massachusetts,,
the most scnolarly ldeallsI III the puDlc lie OIL
his day. He had an origina plan of his own for
settling our dispute with England over the
depredations Of the confederate cruiser Ala
bama, and insisted stubbornly that his was
the only way of doing it that he broke with his
party and destroyed himself politically. He
proposed that we arbitrate the matter with
Great Britain which WIS all right, but that as a
prerequisite to arbitration demand Canada,
the Bahama islands and six hundred and fifty
million dollars in cash. Every statesman
saw that this was preposterous, and turned to
President Grants simple and practical plan,
which was that arbitration should be establish
ed as a principle-that England should be won
over to that-and that the question of the dam
ages to which we were entitled should be left
to the arbitrating court. This plan reason
able, workable and prevailed; and it was a 81 G.

Canada and Prohibition.

Omaha Bee: One very definite
answer was given last week to the
wet" assertion that il the soldiers
had had a chance to vote prohibit
ton would not have carried. Four
great Canadian provinces. Alberta.
Saskatch ewan, Manitoba and Nova
Scotia voted to remain bone dry.
Several things may be deduced from
this result. First is that the soldiers
as voters do not differ greatly from
their fellow citizens who were pre-.
vented from serving by reason of
age or other disability In Canada
they all had vote, and that fact
did not help John Barleycorn a
particle. Another thing made clear
is that in the rural districts strong
drink is not popular. The provinces
named are principally agricultural,
although Nova Scotia has other ex-
tensiye interests, but aside from
Winnipeg. they have no large cities.
Farms and villages do not take
kindly to the saloon. While absolute
drouth in America is yet to develop,
the indications are plenty that the
dry spell will steadily become dryer,
until finally the expected dessication
will have been accomplished. The
fight is not over yet, but round after
round is going against the liquor
interests, and their hope has little to
rest on now.

reinforcement for international comfy anl

nal achievement for international comfy and

Mr.. Wilson has been quite as stubborn and
even more wrongheaded than Sumner was. Not
content with getting the thing he wanted done,
he demanded that it be done In his own way or
not at all And his way was palpably absurd.
The league framed on his ideas has already
proved Ineffective; and, if we had gone In, it
would have been worse; for we undoubtedly
should have backed up and refused to carry
out the first league council order that we re-
ceived to get into a foreign war. Congress
would have refused The league would have
fallen to pieces and the nations probably would
have been SO disillusoned and Disguised with
the failure of the scheme as to give up for the
time being all thought of league of any kind.
By keeping out and pointing out the defects
of the league we may have prevented this; and
the probability is that most of the old world ma
tons viii be willing and glad to make their
league over into a practical instrumentality for
peace on the understanding that we will come
in Thus the great experiment viii not fail,
viii not be abandoned; but viii bear fruit OF
value and will be, as we may hope, a potent
force in stabilizing this war-rocked world.

APPRECIATION.

Minneapolis Journal: 1t is ques-
ton which is the most unfortunate, to
be estimated or underestimated, over
prised or underpraised.
Some men get so much credit for
what they are and do, while many get
SO little. A community points to a
leading citizen and says: There is
the man of all men," Whether he
1T becomes a tradition. Let no man
speak i'll of him, he is our hero.
AS matter of fact, the best men
they are; the worst not quite SO bad.
Generally men do not receive enough
appreciation. They started in the
underappreciated class, and it is hard
to change fate's plans. Each one of
US somehow gets ticketed and apprais-
ed, and it is no easy matter to change
the ticket or get a new valuation.
We Americans are Incorporate with
our praise, Incorporate with our crit
icism. We make a hero. and if he
fails for an instant to keep his head,
if he makes human mistake, off the
pedestal he comes. The poor fellow
forgot to conceal his feet of clay, like
our own, and that was his finish. We
could not praise him enough yesterday,
we cannot condemn enough today.
Conversely, let man nave been dis
paraged, and not good word can we
find in his defense. No word of
praise can be squeezed from us-he
started wrong.
Appreciation is the lubricant that
makes work run smoother, the tonic
that stimulates, the zest that makes
tasks worth while. 1t is like sun
shine, bracing breeze, a cup of cold
water to jaded spirits; it gives us a
new hold on life That clerk, that
stenographer, that janitor, that boy
who is doing his work well, why
not pass him the word of commenda-
tion and approval which you feel but
have not yet spoken? 1t will invigo-
rate him and be a good investment
for you in the better way he will
serve you. Not too much, not all
the time-save us from the man who
drfps honey ssntinually. But once

THAT IOWA LAND BOOM.

Davenport Democrat: The data
gathered and conclusions drawn by
the department Of agriculture and
Iowa State college in their joint in
vestigation of last summers land
boom have been put out in de-
tailed report, and some of the con-
illusions are interesting.
A summary of the report shows
that the land boom in Iowa was part
of a general increase throughout the
United States during the past year,
amounting to p per cent.
The increase was more extreme in
Iowa than elsewhere, averaging S63
an acre, or 80 per cent, from March.
1919, to March, 1920.
While there were a few sales at
unusually high prices, less than S
per cent. were at $500 an acre or
more.
Contrary to general belief, prob
ably less than 10 per cent. Of all
farms changed hands during the
boom.
About Is per cent. Of the farms for
which figures were obtained were
sold twice during the boom, AZ per
cent. three times, 81 per cent. four
times or more.
Farmers constituted 65.3 per cent.
of the purchasers and only 56 per
cent. of the sellers.
Analysis of the occupations and in
tentions of buyers and sellers fndi
Gates that there has been an imme-
date tendency toward an increase in
the proportion of farms owned by
farmers and also toward decrease
in the proportion to be operated by
tenants.
About two-thirds of the increase
in value on farms bought and reseld
during the boom was appropriated
by residents Of towns and cities.
At such values, the report says, it
would be the exceptional farmer who
would make more than per cent.
on his capitalization, and it was
made out of the question for large
proportion Of the tenants to buy land
on borrowed capital with fair
chance of paying out.
1t was well, therefore, that the
boom stopped where it did. Here in
eastern Iowa values were already so
well established that the boom did
not touch us as it did some other
parts Of the state. Our farms are
priced pretty high. but they are
worth every cent of the price.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE

SNOW.
Ia what wonders the day hath brought
Born of the soft and slumbTous snow!
Gradual silent slowly wrought;
Even as an artist, thought by thought
Writes expression on lip and brow.
Hanging garlands the caves o'efbr1m,
Deep drifts smother the paths below:
The elrus are shroudsd, trunk and HmD,
And all the air Is dizzy and dim
With whiri OF dancing, dazzling SNOW
Oimly out Of the banled sight
Houses and church spires stretch away;
The trees all spectral and still and white,
Stand up like ghosts in the falling light
And fade and faint with the blinded day.
Down from the roofs in gusts are hurled
The eddying drifts to the wastes below,
And still is the banner OF storm unfuried,
Till all the drowned and desolaLe world
Lies dumb and white IN a trance OF snow.
4
Slowly the shadows gather and fall,
Still the whispering snowhakes beat, ,:s
Night and darkness are over all; I'll
Rest pale city beneath their pail! :
Sleep white world in the winding sheet!
Clouds may thicken and storm winds breathe;
On my wall is glimpse of Rome
Land OF my longing-and underneath
Swings and trembles my olive wreath;
Peace and are at home, at home!

appointment of four justices of the

four-year term had the appointment
of f3ve. Mr.. Wilson during his eight
years (H we may assume that he
has no further appointments to

only. We can only guess what judges
will retire; if any.
The makeup of the supreme court

member, the president by whom he
was appointed, his age and the years
