Getting in the Way.

IT has been mighty unkind OF the agricultural
i bloc to disturb, as it seemingly has, the peace
fu occupation OF the halls OF Congress by those
who had claimed joint rights there so long as to
feel them vested reality Really the chief novelty
OF the agricultural intrusion has been in its splitting
OF party lines. Ii it had stuck to party lines a
party issue it might have been viewed with
quite such extreme alarm but rather adopted an
ally
Governor Miller, OF New York, who being OF,
for and by that State is, OF course, unprejudiced
and who is full of ideas OF infinite variety declares
that when farmers laborcrs undertake to further
their interests by entering politics, they attempt
that which is hostile to American institutions and
is certain TO result in their disadvantage" The
governor is alone in his viewpoint. II is always
most dsagreeable have outsiders insist sharing
what has been exclusive game preserve.
Other interests have found it easy to como
sngly or in groups to Congress for what they
wanted. Frequently this but to get fulhlmcnt
Of campaign pledges. Farmers and laborcrs had
first to organize themselves. They have done this
and como to Washington through accredited
representatives Not understanding the game as
played under the rules they do not regard party
lines uncrossablc realize the advantages OF
making what they want party issues
They have not been in politics, they have only
been voters lhey lett their legislative interests TO
others who planned for them, and they depended
these vicarious representatives to get for them
at least what left over. Then they organized
and decided to look after themselves After ALL this
is not so much OF calamity and it is only the
superstructure not the foundation Of government
which is disturbed. Lobbying is but the right of
petition. 1t is but petitioning in person, and is a
right never successfully denied.
Farmers ask what should not be granted, as
we'll as what should be. So do laborers, merchants,
manufacturers, inanciers, capitalists professionals
and UtoPians. Congress is supposed to have powers
OF discrimination. Anyway, any needed safeguards
are IN the personnel OF Congress and not in denying
the right to lobby, which is the right of petition,

The Wreck of the ZR-2.

Like boys at play
They flew away,
These dauntless birdmen strong.
The ZR-2
Was safe. they knew.
Their hearts were filled with song
Up in the sky
They sought to ny
Upon that fatal day.
Soon back to earth
They left with mirth
Returned their lifeless clay.
On Numbers bed
These valiant dead
That night meath wreckage lay
Last earthly trip
For men and ship
Their souls had SCARED away.
Back toward the light
They winged their flight,
This group Of, souls set free.
Past brilliant Mars
And wondrous stars.
Into eternity.
Light! Light there shown.
Lo, 10, His thronei
they see Him face to face.
Oh, Joy untold!
Safe in His fold
They reached their landing place.
So. tolling bells
That toll their knclls.
Change knell to joyous strain.
Their night is past,
They're home at last.
Ring out a glad refrain.

A Bad Bill.

II HE HERALD IS in receipt of a letter from
the American Farm Bureau Federation in
closing propaganda in favor of the anti-hIcd milk
bill and expressing the pious hope that we know
what taking about when we opposed that
bill. 1t says the nclosed article contains number
OF statements which we did not make" 1t does,
and most of them are such that we woud dislike to
make them
The case of this bill is very simple. In oppos-
ing it we do no guessing; do not merely think,
we know right Also our acquaintance with
'hsmaR nature tells that any farmers organization
which tries to make capital by fathering any such
measure, is doing the farmers an injury and not
a. service. 1t is bill for special privilege, for
special favor. which all farmers have condemned
when sought by anyone else. 1t is dead wrong
from every point Of view.
Filled milk is SKINNED milk with the use OF
cocoanut oil lat content Both are wholesome

Time Factor in Lives.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
lime presses on and half the things
- we plan
Are ne'er accomplished. Tint we
waste like water
And that fact called Time is big
and strong,
Conquering Caesars and Napoleons.
so, let US utilize out Time and make
Our lives more worthy in our
Makers sight;
The Time we squander in our petty
strifes
Could help to make US great and
glad indeed.

A Modern Miracle.

THE age of miracles is not past A recent
i health survey developed the fact that the
location OF the lowest ratio of deaths and the best
average OF health was the East Side in ono of
the most eongcsted tenement districts If that is
not miracle, what is it? Psyehotherapeutics
might explain it as due to a mental condition COM
mon to that sort of life.
Regular hours hard work and plenty of il,
simple living financial inability to afford sickness,
thinking health and not exaggerating ailments
outdoor life for children who have to take care of
themselves and absence of mere nerve strain
through unnatural requirements or privileges these
may be listed, but they remove the miracle
element? 1t cannot be possible that people are
freer OF disease, and of better health, who do
not have health rules to observe every hour of the
day, who do not watch and analyze every ache
pain or unusual feeling, who never heard of vita
mines or calories, and who simply haven't time to
be sick nor coddle themselves. ..-
Yet this miracle, for such it must be. is quite
IN harmony with that other finding of physicians.

from Rama, over the Texas line.
Some Of the party returned to the
Lackey ranch Sunday afternoon.
Lackey failed to show up. Fearing
something had befallen him a
searching party was started on a
hunt for him Monday morning.
His horse was found about 9
o'clock Monday afternoon. An hour
later his body was found on the
Mann school section about one mile
