The People and the Government.

Vice President Calvin Coolidge,
speaking at the hundred and twenty
fifth anniversary celebration of the
New York Commercial, said:
"Those who speak of overthrowing
the government in America indulge in
the absurdity of attempting to over
throw the people, for here the people
are the government"
Because many citizens so often for
get this truth they either become in
different or turn radical. Public
health, education, police, justice, the
highways and water supply, lighting
and transit are but few of the items
of service which the public, directly
or Indirectly, provides for every citi-
zen.
The waste of the peoples money,
whether through corruption or incom-
petence, means increasing taxes that
hcighten the cost of living and foster
public discomfort. Every citizen today
feels the load Of taxation that Grip
pies his efforts. AS mere matter of
business he should be as much inter-
ested in having proper tax laws and
reasonable public economy as in re-
ducing any other expenses that enter
into business costs.
Every citizen, whether he will or
not, has a large stake in the govern
ment, to which he should attend, if
only as matter of good business.
He can no more neglect this without
loss and peril than he can neglect the
problems of his own household or his
means of livelihood. Under represen-
tative government the public treasury
lis the bank of all citizens and the
voters are the bankers. The neglect
that spells disaster to private enter
prise likewise spells disaster to public
business.
Lord Bryce recently pointed out that
Americans are prone to underrate the
difficulties of government and to over
rate the capacities Of the average man
without training or experience in gov
ernmental affairs. If this is true it
is largely so because of Indifference:
The radicalism of the ignorant
thrives on the Indifference of the wise

Tame Gopher Gives Demonstration

Tame Gopher Gives Demonstration.
| From the Weekly News Letter of
the United States department of agri-
culture we extract the following
story:
'There's one animal that would be
mighty unpopular if he ever left civil
lization and his free. board and keep
and went back to his fellows. That's
the obliging little pocket gopher that
travels with Leo K. Couch, Of the
board of biological survey, United
States department Of agriculture, who
is giving series Of demonstrations
out west on how to trap and poison
pocket gophers.
t'This little renegade, whether be-
cause he has no choice in the matter
or because he likes the government
fare of carrots, potatoes, and parsnips,
divulgcs the actual working methods
of his kinsmen When all is set for
the demonstration he is taken from his
cage. He sets to work, unabas he'd by
the spectators, and gives first-hand
exhibition of how gopher makes a
tunnel. Then he shows how the
mound is made and the entrance to it
stopped up. His keeper then digs him
:, out, places him back in the cage, and

tell those tourists, Mr.. Times Man,
that the village of Wahkon owns sew

that travellers are welcome to stop
there for picnic meals or longer. This
