"a word is an expression of an idea, so the old

new word. 1t appears almost daily now in any news

the French, where It means group, faction or interest.
The very fact that the word is coming into such fire.
quent use is indicative of a growing condition in our
legislative affairs and. in the judgment of The Trib-
une, it is a condition pregnant with baneful posi-
bilities.

the politicians have outnumbered the statesmen in

'front.'. And as the movement grows the word takes

They Want Medicinal Beer

The Hot Springs County Producers
association is an organization OF
ranchers and farmers with headquar-
tiers at Thennopolis. At a recent ses-
sion the subJolned resolutions were
adopted and ordered transmitted TO
the governor.
After fully discussing various sub
tects before the meeting h debating
turned toward that OF raising small
grains and other cereals. Their mar
keting values were discussed Corn

costs more to raise alfalfa per ton
than the railroads charged for freight.
as the federal government had
granted tho use OF beer for medicin-
al purposes under regulations. the
following resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted:

assembled. resolved that we have
used overy possible and honorable

acted whereby the uses OF corn. bar

Whereas. the federal government

will be resumed Is important, not merely because II
will afford opportunity for a large number Of people
TO meet the president, but because 1t is Significant OF
a change Of attitude on the part of the chief exec
utive toward the people. President Wilson adopted
a policy of exclusiveness and isolation. He not only
did not meet the public generally. but invited few
people of prominence to meet him at his office and con-
fer regarding public welfare. His was a one-man ad-
rinistration.
Mr.. Harding not only meets large numbers Of peo-
pie for the mere personal pleasure of making an ae-
quaintance. but he also grants special audiences to a
great many men of Importance in their local COM
munities who can and do advise him regarding the
condition of business and the needs of the people in
an industrial and social way.
During n period Of eight years we had an admins
tration that boosted of democracy but practiced autoc-
rncy. We now have in the White House an admins
tration that makes no boast of being close to the peo-
pie but which is, in fact, constantly and intimately in
touch with public opinion

ALABAMA'S PRIDE.

Birmingham, Alabama, whose fftieth birthday was
iarked by President Harding's address on the race
roblem, lays claim to being the largest city of its
ye in the United States. It is the center of a large
nd growing stesl ica-s.sr, and is illustrative of the
hange wrought in ss southern states as industries
nave taken hold Of that section of the country. The
lorth can look with satisfaction upon the transforma-
ion. 1t is the dream of every good American citizen
hat all. sections of the country should be brought to-
.ether into one harmonious nation, and that jealousy
between groups of states should be a thing of the
,ast. Nothing can contribute more to that commun-
ty Of interests than a similarity of work in all the
tates. OF course the natural resources of each state
determine to a great extent what its products shall
be, but there are manufacturing industries that can
be developed to advantage In every state, and there
are farming possibilities in every state, the two to-
ether including most of our activities. With each
tate devoting itself to a combination Of farming and
manufacturing, there would be an end to sectional an
1gonisms and the Objectionable "blocs' in congress
hat now seek to secure special legislation for special
interests. Legislators from all parts of the country
would strive for protective tariff laws, for proper en-
enlargement Of agriculture and manufacturing, and
for internal tax laws that distribute the burden equal
ly among all of our wealth producing agencies.

REsuMrNc OLD FRIENDLY CUSTOMS.

The whole country applsuds the decision of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding to restore the old practice of
holding New Years receptions at the White House.
The New Years reception was an event long es-
tablished by custom and upheld by every president
down to the advent of President Wilson in the exec
utive mansion. During the eight years of President
Wilson's ~incumbency no New Years reception was
held.
Standing for several hours and shaking hands with
some 10000 people who wait in line for an oppor-
tunity to meet and greet the chief executive, is not
an easy task, but President Harding finds it a pleas
ant one. he likes to meet people, and the large num-
Der OF callers at the White House since he has been

EGYPTIAN COTTON.

According to our consul at Alexandria, there was
-xported from Egypt to the United States during the
ingle month of July, 1921, over 1000, 900 pounds of
Egyptian long staple cotton, compared with 1,747, 900
POUNDS for July, 1920. 1t is this export of long staple
otton which inks the soul of Senator Ashurst of Ariz-
ona, where the long staple industry has been fast de-
veloping. So upset has Ashurst become on account of
1T that on the subject of protection he is an ardent
champion of the Republican policy, just as the Louisi-
ana senators are with respect to tariff protection on
sugar. If Arizona and neighboring states can sun.
ply American needs for this cotton they ought to be
protected and not placed on a competitive level with
the fellaheen labor of Egypt.

is another reason why Mr.. Ford is able to make such
bright financial showings for his road. By cutting
out the passenger traffic and turning all his attention
