Politics Running to Seed.

Politics is the science Of government, and to
Americans is vitality important, because it means
the government under which we live. Every
citizen should be concerned in politics at all
times, and take a lively interest in what is going
on. Yet there is such a thing as carrying the
game to extremes, and certain elements of the
population running wild over the rules right
now As simple a matter as a conference to
discuss the farm situation is turned to advantage
by the chief spouter for the farm bureau organ
izaton, who announces that he will call the real
conference to order today. This is all right; it
| is within his prerogative, and will seek to
deter him. The public, however, will wonder
who constituted Mr. Ben Marsh and his sup
porters to be monitors and spokesman for the
entire agricultural industry of the United States
| A special session of the legislature was called
in Nebraska, for the specific purpose of revising
downward the appropriations made last year.
Instead Of taking hold of this business, the Non
Partisan league element in the legislature, which
achieved election by masqueradng as repub-
licans, Immediately set about to make medicine.
"Alfalfa John" Franklin turns in demand for
a probe of the highway construction, and this
proves to be curtain raiser for his campaign as
d candidate LOT COllSIcSS. HIS dllDitloH vi HIS
part is wholly commendable, but why does he
not run as a Non-Partsan Lacquer, he being
openly and avowedly member Of that group,
and withdraw from the republican party, which
he so vehemently opposes?
Real progressives, seeking desirable or needed
improvement in the conduct of government, de-
serve and receive appreciation, but the pseudo
progressives, who really deserve the classification
of radicals are just now making jest Of popular
government in America.

Getting Onto Practical Ground.

The farmers conference at Washington is
expected to give its approval to two great en-
terprises that directly affect the industry. One
is the operation of the Muscle Shoals plant, to
produce fertilizer that will be of benefit to the
farmers of the SOUTH The other is the building
Of the great lakes-to-ocean waterway via the St.
Lawrence river, from which the farmers Of the
middle west will derive a direct benefit in the
form Of reduced transportation charges Other
matters OF more or less speculative importance
are being considered, some Of which may not
be answered for long time to come, but here
are two projects that may be taken up and made
immediately effective Whether the Muscle
Shoals plant is leased TO Henry Ford, or to some
other operator. or whether it is managed by the
government, it has reached point in its devel-
opment where it would be almost criminal to
abandon it. The fields Of the south need the
fertilizer it will produce, and consequently it
will serve a most useful peace purpose. As TO
the great ST. Lawrence canal, it has been fairly
we'll sold on its merits TO the farmers of the
country, and generally to the region that will be
served by it. Opposition comes from sea ports
that will lose something of their CONTROL and not
from any other source. Endorsement in the
name of the agricultural industry of the nation
will carry much weight with congress, and doubt
less aid in securing the legislation needed to put
over these enterprises.

Pleasures Of Retrospection.

Thousands Of people, reading President Har-
ding's delightfully."- naive and homely story Of
how he once rode 200 miles, bought dinner and
saw 'show"-all for $7--wl be led to recall
how they did something equally enjoyable and
for a similarly small outlay, in "the good old
days" They are apt to sigh regretfully at the
thought that ''the good old days" are gone for
ever
1t is ever a trait of human nature to remember
the happy times and forget the sorrows as the
years pass by. 1t is one of the traits which makes
life worth living. But, to make sure that We see
life it really is today, it is we'll to give these
happy memories their true setting. Let US look
back at "the good old days" Twenty-Five or
thirty years ago the world was going to the
dogs" at even faster rate than now, if one were
to listen only to the backward looking pessmists
and pay no heed to those courageous souls to
whom adversely is merely a goad to ambition,
disappointment only spur to new effort In
those days, too, men sighed for "the good old
days'-and so it has always been.
President Harding told his story with touch
of hunlor which indicated clearly that he gave it
true perspective He recognizes full well that
the new day has its own pleasures and rewards,
which than balance its disadvantages. Let
us who read it be sure to give it that same
philosophic setting

An American Romance

Once upon time there was poor boy who
became a lawyer and politician in small
town in middle west state. AS result he
became connected with the business end of ma
tional politics, assiduous and an able servant
Of a great political party.
In the course of events the little lawycr-phy-
sically, Of course-from the little town became
postmaster general. For while he conttived to
live upon his cabinet salary in Washington.
Soon came certain business men with gunny
sack of gold and with proposition to pay the
cabinet officer whacking salary The publicity
agents said to the public $l500O0 At any rate
it was more than the pay of several cabinet Of
hcers, or maybe the pay of the whole cabinet
The little lawyer from the little town put his
hand into the gunny sack of gold and felt it. 1t
was real gold. He pinched himself He said to
the business men, after due consideration: My
country may need me. My country! May she
be always right, but right or wrong, my coun-
try! Nevertheless you get me.
In this true story we have an American ro-
nance quite as wonderful as story from the
arabian Nights Entertainment" 1t is
story which will be told again from time to time,

young man has no chance in America nova

Our Foreign Relations.

For many years a discussion has been going
on concerning the absolute lack OF anything
resembling foreign or external policy on part
OF the United States With tho announcement
OF the so-caled Monroe Doctrine, and the open
door policy for China, our government has at no
other point assumed definite or enduring posi-
ton. Subject at all times TO the mutations of
politics, the SHIFT OF control from one party TO
another, carrying with il responsibility for deal
inss with other nations, our relations with the
world have been marked by an absence OF con-
tinuing purpose, il not with actual levity. In
large degree this is because Americans are tradi-
tionally inclined TO attend TO their own business,
and to allow others to do the same. Not being
prone to NEEDLE, we have not felt the need of
any such traditional policy as has been developed
by great European powers.
The Constitution OF the United States clothes
the president with power to negotiate treaties,
but requires that these be ratified by the senate
before becoming effective. The purpose of this
is very clear 1t serves TO prevent the president
from committing the nation to engagements with
other nations of nature that will not be ap-
proved by the senate, acting as coordinate
branch Of the government If the rule had been
otherwise then Mr. Wilson would have been
successful in committing the United States to
the Treaty Of Versailles His failure in this re-
gard is ascrbable solely TO the check placed by
the constitution on executive action. However,
this is not sufficient warrant for the assumption
now gaining currency that the senate has super
visory control over all foreign relations
1t is now alleged that breach is growing
up between President Harding and group of
senators, headed by Brandigee OF Connecticut,
the latter holding that all communications
destined for foreign powers must be submitted

In the controversy with President Wilson,
the senate was on safe ground; i'll the threatened
break with President Harding the opposition is
assuming dangerous position, and one from
which it will be easily disodgcd, 1t is only just
to credit Secretary Hughes with being in some

sion whenever a rate question has been before
IL for the last decade, has been a monotonous
story Of continual investment not by thousands
but by hundreds Of thousands OF dollars, in order
TO meet the tremendous development in the use
OF electric power. New engines have been
bought new boilers installed new dynamos con-
neeted yet with each extension the demand ha.
kept anace and generally moved ahead.
In many respects this development, repeated
in every city aud town of the nation, is the in
dustrial marvel OF the age. Ainslic A. Gray told
the Electric club of Chicago this week that, of
the n 100000 homes in the United States, A.
100000 are near electric power and 100000 are
wired for electricity. Despite the industrial de-
preston OF 1921, he said, the electrical power
companies generally showed an increased rev.
enue due to the enormous growth of residential
lighting. The report OF the super-power COM
mission OF the federal government declares that
virtual power famine will exist in the Atlantic
seaboard states by 1880, unless vast new gener-
ating capacity is developed. The industrial cf-
hcency Of the decades to come, it declared, de-
pend on sufficient and cheap electric power
That is why New England is turning TO favor
the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway, be-
cause it promises development of over 100000
horsepower of hydro electricity. That is why
there is such intense interest in the Muscle
Shoals development, which offers 100000-horsc-
power for nitrate production and s00000-horse-
power for general industrial use. Electricity is
the bread of industry .
