The KIP Washburn base ball
team, backed by the American
Legion Band, went down to defeat
in the opening game of the season
played at the base ball grounds in
this city last Sunday afternoon when
the Ashland Athletics took them in
to camp to the tune of Is to IL
score.
The game, although ragged at
times, was not without its thrills and
entertaining. Ashland started out
with good lead in the score, and
it was not until the 9Th inning that
Washburn, put man across the
home bag. From that time on
they piled up II scores, three of
which were brought in on a home
run nit by Cease, and two other
men crossed the bag during that
inning. Ashland also secured
home run when Moose Gardner hit
the ball over the fence.
One accident occurred during the
game when an Ashland player was
hit with a ball while endeavoring to
steal second, and was knocked out.
The local boys have some good
material and with a title practice
and some changes will develop into
a strong team.
The Washburn Band furnished the
music during the game and will back
up the ball club during the season.

Politics Is a Business.

The Kansas City Star says: Politics is not
game" The Star is right. Politics is business
Politicians adopt it a vocation. Some who arc:
they not the real goods.
The true politician regards politics bust
ness much does any other business his
financial commercial trade industrial enterprises
He devotes to it his ability, his time, his money
and his personal interest.
1t is as distinctive a calling as is banking or
merchandising 1t requires high order Of quail
ties Executive power, administrative aptitude
pleasing personality and the ability read and
innate character but requirements OF the
successful political business He may may
Often he has ambition to hold any other position
than that Of manager He prefers to pick his can
didatcs and let them do the vote getting, while he
merely handles the business seeking the glory
Some of the very best politicians wholly lack
the element of personal popularity, but in lieu Of
that have unusual gift of rightly estimating pub
lie opinion or what the people want" Determining
this, they give it to them even if against their own
better judgment
But the one thing politician practically
is is statesman. Statesmanship is the antithesis
OF opporunism and opportunism is a large part Of
politicians capital The statesman needs the
politician as his manager He in fact must have as
friend, adviser and organizer of those keen
witted, clever, SILENT persistent, capable political
business to whom all the tricks of the trade
are familiar the grades of canned goods to
the grocer.

Brands Problem.

THE statement Of his program and his replies
to interpretations do not throw much light
: on what measures NJ BRAND is ready TO take
with regard to Germany,
fhe probabilities that the new French
premier is only milestone on the road that lead
TO practical dictatorship of France by Foch and
PoinGare.
The French people after fifty years in the
shadow OF fear Of invasion not disposed to ac-
ccPt Territorial settlement OF Germany that does
not tend to equaize the racial strength of the two
governments nor economic settlement that does
not recover the entire losses q France These two
ideas,z which held, no doubt to some extent by
different groups OF people in France, are not ca
pablo=of simultaneous execution
Nevertheless, none Of the French Statesmen Of
the three ministries that have risen since the war
have been able to satisfy enough of the French
people on these two critical points to remain in
office The maintenance Of these ideas in the minds
OF the people after they have long since been ex-
podea as impractical by the rest of the world is
r2c argely to the propaganda carried on by
the parties led by Foch and Poincare and Tardieu
While these gentlemen do not so far seem to
thinkSthemselves able to take over the government,
they nevcrtheless able to bring about the fall Of
each succeeding ministry that will not adopt the
policies they advocate.

many only ii her security were guaranteed BY the
participation OF the United States in military all-
ance with France such that proposed at the
Peace Conference Only under such circumstances
would France view without alarm the recuperation

Lkcly-to pay. Indeed, il the French people appre-
c'atc the intermittent and Accting quality of
Nmcrica's foreign relations they would place no
dependence in American guaranty OF this kind
even though it were covered by bank deposit
In any event, this is form OF ENHANCEMENT in
European affairs that the vast majority OF American
CitizeRs would resent. Even those who have sup
ported the league, the only moderating influence
IN such matters and effective support to
France, will not support such extrcmtes
France is in great difficulty. She merits every
sympathy from the American people, but in the
pursuit OF policies which do not lead to the eco
nomic rehabilitation OF the world, France can
scarcely expect American support

HUMAN Relationships.

Social Reconstruction" by John
\. Ryan, (Macmillan) Celebrates
and interprets the program for re-
construction issued by tho -Four
catholic bishops carly in 1919.
Definite comprehensive measures
are advocated, including the estab-
lishment of a minimum wage. COL
lective bargaining, cooperative
purchasing societies, health insur-
anCe laws. and the participation Of
labor in the management and prof
its of business. The authors COM
petenCe to deal with these vital in
dustrial and social questions has
been demonstrated by his previous
books, Living Wage" and Dis
tributive Justice" which are held in
high esteem by scholars of all par
ties. He shows that while the
Catholic Church is just as much
opposed as ever to, Socialism, the
centuries old principles Of its sys-
TEN of ethics indorse and sanction
the carrying Of the cooperative
movement to an all inclusive place
in the social order of the future.

pany. Following the comparatively

the point Of most careful study Of
human energy and the human
physique, DR.. Amar's book brings
together in one volume all the
physical and physiological elements

increased output" is so much a
matter Of discussion. and the sub
ject Of industrial work generally is
receiving such wide study, such a
scientific work as this is especially
to be welcomed. The presentation
Of DR.. Amars research and its re-
suits should take us farther along
the road toward a greater produc-
tion of finished material with less
expenditure of human effort and
should thus have a significant part
in the solution Of our Industrial

Toward a Russian Policy.

Il is not surprising that in certain quarters OF
both Europe and America the Presidents suggestion
for dealing with Russia should have been received
with a coldness which amounts, in some cases, al
most TO frgidity.
Those who believe it is the duty of the en-
hghtened governments OF the civilized world to or
ganize new holy alliance to impose on Russia by
cot arms the form of government which il is
belieySd the Russians really desire and ought to
have, NATURALLY oppose a policy which would def
nltely- preclude such course. While the number
OF those who advocate procedure of this kind is
smsllsand continually diminishing they have been
able p make themselves heard and have their nau-
ence felt.
Strangely enough, among them are few if any
OF those Russians whose liberalism and opposition
to Boishevism is we'll known If there is one point
upon which both the Bosheviks and those liberal
Russians are agreed, it is that there be no further
foreign Intervention in their country.
In certain diplomatic circles where it has been
the policy TO disclaim any desire to wage war ON
the Russian people while at the same time thew
have Supported succession of sdventurers who
have sought to overthrow the Soviets the Pr.si-
dents suggestion that there be public and solemn
engagements that no further invasions OF Russian
territory be tolerated, is not particularly welcome
IE is true that most of the principal powers
have let it be known that they are not disposed to
make~war on Russia, yet the encouragement or
support Of border states attacking Russia as de-
fensys measure, or military aid and advice to Rus
slams of doubtful political antecedents who seek to
save their country from the Communist sutocracy,
is quite another matter.
The Presidents proposal does not by any
means promise solution of the Russian problem.
1t is step, however in the direction of the adop-
ton BY the great powers of common and sensible
Russian policy.
The efforts OF liberal Russians and the more
farseeing of European statesmen have been nulli-
ned by the divergent policies of the different pow
ers. Perhaps the repeated demands of Russians of
all classes that they be allowed to work out their
own salvstSn without foreign interference have had
some effect in convincing the entente allies that
The Washington herald., 1921-01-29

their efforts to help Russia should take some ac-
count of the wishes of the Russians.
1t is time that the svowed friends of Russia
come to realize that this problem is not one for
each power to deal with exclusively according to
its own interest, but that it is world problem,
an important step in the, solution of which is the
adoption of common policy.
From Paris comes the report that since the pub
ieation of the Presidents note, Russia has been
placed on the agenda of the allied conference. If
the President has convinced Lloyd George BRAND,
and Sforza that Russia is subject that may be dis
cussed with profit to all concerned he has performed
an important service.

Farmer Legislation.

TownleyIsm is no more, nor less, than an effort
to have State governments finance farm indus
try and market farm products. 1t singles out agri-
culture the favored child of the State, to be
not only nutured, but pampered, not alone given
its full opportunity, but be placed on a plane
above all other industry and enterprise at their
expense.
The Nonpartisan League is the organization
OF Townleyism. 1t is the agency used to put into
effect tbs form of agricultural Socialism 1t is a
political party formed as a quasi joint stock, or
mutual corporation.
In combating this organization and its policies,
Minnesota Republicans have been the first to
recognize fully the faults and incqualitieS aims
to remedy and to propose constructive, non So
ciaist, economically sound program to effect the
same results.
This program is to pass such laws and give
such State supervisory and advisory aid as are
needed to have the farmers do for themselves all
the league would have paternal State do for
them 1t would retain for the farmers their own
individualsm, their personal and economic freedom,
their liberty of action and complete control of their
business.
1t found that this appealed strongly to the
farmers, strongly that the league candidates
defeated by very large majortes 1t is being
carried into laws framed in cooperation with farm
legislators farmer clubs and agricultural special
lists.
There is other group Of our population more
indiyidualistic in opinions and demands than the
farmers. Indeed the complaints leading to Town
leyism based conditions which farmers
felt and believed interfered with this ndivdualism
this right to control their affairs and to have
for themselves the results Of their own industry.
There is stronger factor, also, in the per-
peuity of American institutions than this individ-
uadism found most completely the farms 1t
is inherent with land ownership and land cultiva-
ton. 1t should be constantly held in view
to all legislation aimed to promote and aid agricul
ture.
. 1t is what such legislation should preserve, and
this can best be done by making all radical COM
binaton unnecessary. 1t can best be done by over
turning the barriers and leaving the farmers, far
possible, entire freedom of action and each con-
trolling his own affairs.
The ways to market should be made simple,
free from obstruction and flexible so that. every
farmer could understand the process in detail and
be able to use it for his own advantage In the
past almost the sole effort has been directed to
making him better farmer so he would increase
production.
In the future there should be added to this
such help as is needed to make him also business
man, trained to understand and use business prin-
ciples and business agencies. He must be both a
producer and marketer and it will greatly help,
in this if legislators will regard each farm as a
factory, distinct unit in producing industry,
which it patiently is.
