Certain members Of congress have been stirring
up a mess in Washington over what they term
waste of public funds in the publication Of bulletins
by the various departments and bureaus
If the government or congress is DESTROYS OF
disseminating useful information relative to agrcul-
ture health science other subjects there is one
way and only, of reaching the people who pay the
bill
That way is to use the columns of the public press
and pay the publishers fair price for the space con-
sumed
Practically every citizen Of normal intelligence
reads the newspapers. This is newspaper age and
the people are lost without them.
Government information disseminated in this
manner would reach the great mass of the people,
those for whom it is compiled at great expense, and
would be put to practical purpose in the extension
Of knowledge and the greater development Of the
country.
To educate the public you must first reach the
public and there is no so long voice so loud
as that of the press.

MAGNITUDE OF FOREIGN TRADE

The Importance of sound shipping policies is best
shown by the fact that in 1919 foreign trade
amounted to over twelve billion dollars.
Before the world war 81 per cent of our foreign
trade was carried in foreign vessels but eight per
cent being carried under the American flag.
In 1914 American tonnage registered in foreign
trade was only 1276,000 gross tons, while in March
1920 it has increased to 100000 gross TONS
American ships cleared from the United States
with 745,242 tons freight in 1914 and cleared with
8,610,226 tons in 1919-an eleven fold increase
Those who are Indifferent to the development
to its highest efficiency of the American merchant
marine can hardly be classed patriotic Americans.
There was never time when service in our over
seas shipping held out such inducements to Ameri-
cans as at the present time for good jobs.
BIT if Americans will not man ships, shall
the ships lie idle at the docks the cargoes rot
the vhasr es while the world starves?
Monopolistic laws forbid the employment OF men
who cannot speak the English language or belong to
the seaman's of stevedore's unions

THE MOTHER OF MAN

On the second Sunday in May the nation will
observe Mothers Day.
Every one knows Mothers Day-why it is, when
it is, and for what it stands.
1t comes as close to our hearts as Christmas or
the Fourth of July, for it is the day upon which we
honor the mother of man.
The arms of motherhood from the cradle of the
human race. They are the rock upon which we rest
our hopes of the future the guiding star which leads
humanity through the perils of infancy and into the
safe l4arbor 81 maturity.
Pages upon pages could be written of the glories
of ou, ers but not all of the words Of the Engl-
sh language could do them justice.
It is beyond the power of our humble pen.
All honor to the mother of man.
May her days and her joys upon earth be many,
and may her home in the next world be one worthy
of the greatest handiwork of God.

A. DEAD ASSET

The Non-Partisan League is making an active
campaign in a number of states.
It's platform is class control and socialized in
dustres.
State owned banks to furnish money at cost it
hobby of the league.
Such banks if once established would become
dead asset to the community for they would take
l>ore interest in community development than
town post office does.
There would be scant comparison between such
political tanks and modern bank of today which is
setting the pace in community advertising and de-
veopment.
So far all western states have repudiated the
Non-Paltisan League blight, except North Dakota.

SOBER JUDGMENT SHOULD PREVAIL

In our endeavors to restore normal conditions
in this land of chaos and sober judgment should
prevail.
We have agitators in our midst whose sole ap-
parent aim is to destroy established system of
government.
We have others who are consumed with unrest,
are out of harmony with prevailing methods, and yet
are true and loyal at heart.
We must learn to differentiate between the two
The one must be curbed or destroyed, while the
other should be conserved and nurtured back to
healthy state of mind
There is much to pe1plex and exasperate us all,
but nothing to cause palsy Of alarm.
: 1t has taken years of work and wilson to create
the greatest nation of earth. It will not be wrecked
in day. ".@'s~r~'
Energy, perseverance and sober judgment will
in time restore conditions to satisfactory
basis, but only time and patience can bring about this
result. :* . <~4>-s~

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

Industrial development in the United States will
require tremendous quantities of structural lumber
The accumulated demand for lumber is increasing
while production is decreasing.
In 1908 the country at large cut 46,OOO,OOO0 900
feet the same in 1907 in 1916 the production drop
ped to 4O0OO,O0O0O0 in 1917 to 37,OOOOOO,OOO feet
and in 1913 to 32,OOOOO0,OOO.
The production of forest products probably
never will increase beyond it's present proportions
for the simple reason that the lumber producing
districts exhausting their supply The forests of
the northwest and California contain the last great
available supply of timber and in the future the
try will come to the Pacific coast for it's lumber
The demand for lumber is increasing faster than
production take of it and instead of cheaper
lumber prices it takes great stretch of the magi-
nation to considerable higher prices years hence
and no man would be safe in predicting what the
price will be 10 years from now

republican membership of the Senate, de- olares boldly that the President is a candidate There is no question but that irrespective of any conviction the repub- lican party and republican press might entertain, both are combined in an ef- fort to wish the President" on the demo- crats as their nominees.
 In connection with the discussion, it is interesting to note that one opinion in Washington is that the President is more dogmatie in his course respecting the treaty, and his apparent effort to maze the treaty campaign issue. because of the obvious conflict fast developing be- tween his views and following and the Views and following of William Jennings Bryan. And it is significant, in all the talk going the rounds, that no one states or indicates the possession of belief that the President would be deterred in sesn- ing or receiving a nomination ny the fact that in his attitude he would be pre- parlng, mentally. at least, to break all precedent by serving a third term
 If the developments of the near future which will remove the clouds from semi obscure situation reveal the President in the capacity of an actual candidate, there is no question but that the democratic party will be split from stern to stem. William Jennings Bryan is quoted by his friends in Washington-by authority that 1.-the President is a candidate, he will immediately take the stump in every state of the. union against him. While this fact would not necessarily eliminate the President it would probably have a deciding effect when piled upon the nat ural repugnance of all democrats against a third-term candidate.
 The spirit of revolt against an indi- cated candidacy on the part of the Pres ident is revealing istelf not only on eae part of those opposing a third term for any man. The "old line" Jeffersonian democrats are admittedly bitter because of the tendency toward socialism, GOT which they hold Wilson and his admin istration responsible. w. G. McAdoo and A. Mitchell Palmer. because of their close utilization with the President, are in part held responsible for conditions, and may srffer in consequence.
