The Quiet Ones.

Some people quietly proceed,
end take no part in fuss or broil !;
they do their stunts with grace
and speed, and make no racket
as they toll. Retiring gents,
they are not sharks for any
pomp or circumstance; they do
not rise to make remarks when
ever they see half a chance.
They do not ask us for our votes
and argue in the busy marts;
and if perchance they lose their
goats they bear their sorrow in
their hearts. And in this world
of endless noise. where human
f1ivvers rant and roar. we learn
to love the quiet boys who
smoothly do the useful chore.
They jog along their even
groove, and draw good pay and
earn it all: and read chaste vol
umes to improve their minds
when evening shadows fall.
They'll be on time, as sure as
fate, on time for work when
morning comes; they'll have no
stories to relate of high adven-
lures in the slumS. All through
the years they work. serene,
these quiet, self-effacing lads:
and this old world is worse, |
ween, when they are gathered
to their dads. Oh, these be
times of blatant sound, of strid-
ent boast and loud harangue;
the men who make the wheels
go round are not the tizz-and-
fireworks gang.

STANDARDIZED MACHINERY.

One of the great demands of the pres
ent day is for standardized and tested
farm machinery, according to ]. Il. Dav-
idson. secretary of the American Society
of Agricultural Engineers, which has
lust concluded a session in Chicago.
Manufacturers have been quick to see
the opening field in farm machinery, and
each one is eager to get something new
and different, says Mr.. Davidson. SO
every variety of mechanism is made,
from a garden hoe to a caterpillar trac-
tor. The farmer who goes to purchase
finds himself sadly puzzled, and is some
times badly disappointed after he has
made purchase.
In some of the states farm machinery
has to be submitted to tests by accred-
tied farm bureaus before it is permitted
to go on sale This helps to clear the
situation. to protect the farmer and also
the dealer who has a good machine.
There is little doubt as to the desir-
ability of Standardization for farm ma
chinery, but this is a matter which will
take care of itself in time. What is
good in one machine will be demanded in
another, and presently incorporated in
it, as has been done so largely with the
automobile. Manufacturers, however,
might easily hasten the process.

[ do not look with much enthusiasm
upon emergency tariff legislation. !
think the tariff and revenue questions
should be considered as a whole, in a
careful, dignifed way, after due confer
ence and consultation with the presi-
dent-elect and secretary of the treasury"
Most people who have thought the mat
ter over in a calm and disinterested way,
seeking the welfare of the majority
rather than mere emergency relief for
some minority or other, probably agree
with Senator Penrose. Even the farm
ers. for whom this measure was chiefly
intended. are beginning to see the dan
ger of discouraging foreign buyers and
thus unintentiOnally losing the very re-
lief they seek.
Tariff legislation is always n danger
Gus thing to monkey with. There is
more need than ever before of making
the tariff really scientific" and for that,
time and care are required.

THURSDAY, JANUARY Is, 1921.
THE COST OF INAUGURATION.

Perhaps the time congress has spent
discussing the inaugural appropriation is
worth more than the appropriation it
self amounts to. The time is not wasted.
for all that. More important than the
precise amount to be spent in ushering
the new president into office is the i'm
precision which the debate has on the
public.
That debate has turned on public
thrift-surely topic of universal inter
est. since the public has awakened to the
fact that federal expenditures come out
Of its own pocket. Congress is wise in
considering the impression that any Law
ish expenditure would have on the coun-
try at large.
good deal of money has usually been
spent in presidential inaugurations,
some of it public money but most of it
private. 1t has been a big show, and
citizens able to participate have not
grudged their share of the cost. The de-
sire on the part of the winning party to
give adequate expression to, its joy on
March is human and pardonable. 1t
may be said, too, that something is due
to the dignity of great nation, when by
orderly process of law the government
is passed from one group of public SER
wants to another group.
Nevertheless there is prevalent
| throughout the country today a sober,
strong sentiment for avoiding anything
savoripg of the .lavishness that has char
acterized the national life for the last
| four or five years. There is a demand
| that money be saved in public and pri-
vate life alike, and that no example be
set that viii encourage the frivolous or
thoughtless anywhere to resume their
spendthrift habits. With this sentiment
both Senator Harding and Vice Presi-
dent-elect Coolidge are in complete ac-
cord. There is no need of returning
quite to the classic precedent, and let
ting the president to-be ride to the White
house on horseback and tie his steed to
the picket fence with his own hands.
| Neither is there any need of adopting the
suggestion of one thrifty senator to limit
the appropriation to so for an automo-
| bile to take the place of the aforesaid
horse, But for the sake of the public eff
| feet it is hoped that the expenditure
will hold itself within reasonable bounds.
This is not a good time for costly page
ants.

TARIFF LEGISLATION.

The desire of the house of representa-
tives to enact an emergency tariff meas
IRE at once has net with slight check
in the senate. Many protests have
poured in upon that body These pro-
tests are heard respectfully because they
come mainly from big business interests
that have hitherto always been friendly
to high tariff duties on general prinei-
pies.
Leading bankers, manufacturers and
exporters insist that high protective
schedules at this time might erect eco
nomic barriers and invite retaliatory
measures from foreign nations just when
American enterprise is especially con-
ccrned with holding their trade, and
making it impossible for them to pay
what they owe us when American re-
adjustment depends largely on such
payment.
There is a great deal in this view, -
Senator Penrose, chairman of the SEN
ate finance committee, is quoted as say
ing. on his return to Washington. I'VE
cannot expect those nations to pay their
Indebtedness to America unless we al
low them to sell us their goods. The
costs of conversion are so uncertain now,
because of the war. that it would be diff
ficult to frame a tariff bill at present.

In The DAYS News,

William G.. Lee who is said to be
favored by the great railroad brother
moods for the position OF secretary of la
Dor in the next cabinet. has been presi-
lent of the Order of Railway Conductors
or more than ten years. He is an Hi
noisan, who began his working career as
brakeman on the Atkinson. Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad, and until 1884 con
tlnued in that role. For the next four
years he was county official in Kansas
Then he resumed railroading as a CON
ductor on the Union Pacific, and soon be-
came conspicuous as an organizer of the
men. From 1895 to 1909 he was vice-pres-
dent of the order of which, since 1909. he
aas been president. Mr.. Lee is of a posi-
tive, aggressive type, possesses unusual
executive capacity, and, by his record in
negotiations with railway managers, has
built up a remarkable degree of loyalty
in the rank and file of his organization.

der a carefully devised plan in all Chi
cago schools, public, parochal and pri-
vate, will be part of that city's campaign
for child protection, and it undoubtedly
will do much to reduce the number of
accidents, particularly on the streets.
Similar instruction in the schools of st.
Louis has resulted in a considerable re
duction.
Children are good spreaders of propa-
ganda. Aside from learning safety prin-
ciples themselves, they will carry their
knowledge home, and the adults of the
community will be stirred afresh to con-
Germ and cooperation.
All accidents are regrettable. those to
children peculiarly so. Whatever can
be done to prevent them is a public duty
and should also be pleasure.
