The French are cool to- the English
call for what might mean a twentieth
century crusade against Islam.
France is pulling back talking of
moral suasion." Paris is debating
whether, after all, she would not be in
better position with her friend the
Turk holding the straits than she is
now with England in the dominant
position there.
Italy is going, cautiously and depre-
catlngly, along with France. Mean
while, the Turk is concentrating at

threatening to cut his way across the
Thrace.
France is enjoying the troubles of
England and is drawing comparisons.
For two years France has been de-
manding the use of force 20 bring

held back. Now the positions are re-
versed, with England rafting the saber

posed to pick the fruits of her victory.
Now that England's own fruits in the

for moral suasion."

The Bonus Veto.

President Harding's veto of the
bonus bill was expected. His opposi-
tion to it was indicated long in ad-
vance. But his message lifts great
weight from the public mind. It con-
firms the theory that the president,
elected by the nation, must in critical
matters put group and local interests
aside and stand unswervingly for the
national interest.
Representatives and senator's played
cheap politics with the bonus bill.
They looked on it as an electioneering
enterprise, an easy means of capitaliz-
ing the soldier vote. They thought
first of reelection. They had little
thought beyond reelection, for they
were satisfied to pass bill which they
knew would be vetoed and which
seemed to offer the soldier bonus
without really offering him one.
But president can not descend to
such chicanery. He holds the keys of
the treasury. He is responsible for
the payment of claims saddled on the
government. He must consider
whether the treasury can pay. He
must maintain federal solvency and
honor. He said that he would sign a
bill in which congress made provision
by new taxation for meeting bonus ex-
penditure. He would not approve a
bill whose promoters simply ran away
from this duty by imposing taxes be-
cause they were afraid of angering
the already overburdened taxpayer.
Congress passed the bonus act in
bad faith. It put a duty up to the
president which both party loyalty and
proper sense of public obligation
should have prompted it to spare him
But it unintentionally did the presi-
dent service. 1t enabled him to let
his own enlightened patriotism and
sobriety of judgment shine in compari-
son with congressional recklessness
and levity.
Mr.. Harding has risen to the height
of his responsibility He has demon
strated afresh his courage and his
freedom from the taint of opportunism
in dealing with group clamors. He has
strengthened the public's trust in the
presidential office as barrier against
congressional alteration and frailty
The thankfulness due the president is
measured by the fact that the enact
ment of the bonus bill would be moth
ing short of an economic calamity

TO A YOUNG MAN.

The great were once as you.
They whom men magnify today
Once CROPPED and blundered on life's
way,
Were fearful of themselves, and
thought
BY magic was mans greatness
wrought.
They feared to try what they could do:
Yet fame has crowned with her sue
The sclfsame gifts that you possess.
The great were young as you,
Dreaming the very dreams you hold,
Longing yet fearing to be bold,
Doubling that they themselves pos
sessed
The strength and skill for every test,
Uncertain of the truths they knew,
Not sure that they could stand to fate
With all the courage of the great.
Then came day when they ,--
Their first bold venture made,
Scorning to cry for aid.
They dared to stand to fight alone,
Took up the gauntlet life had thrown
Charged full-front to the fray,
Mastered their fears of self, and then
Learned that our great men are but
men.
Oh, Youth, go forth and do!
You, too, to fame may rise;
You can be strong and wise.
Stand up to life and play the man
You can if you'll but think you can;
The great were once as you.
You envy them their proud success
Twas won with gifts that you possess

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
DO NOT PREJUDICE JURORS.

Much has been said against the
practice of importing personal injury
damage suit cases against railroads
into counties where the accident did
not occur or where the plaintiff does
not reside. These cases are of some
expense to the county in which they
are tried but those who are in posi-
tion to know the details of the matter
state that the extra cost involved is
not as great as might be supposed.
Moreover when such case is tried, a
number of attorneys and witnesses
generally come into the community
where the court is in session who
leave more money in the county than
the case takes out of it.
But it is not the financial side of
the question which should be of para
mount Importance in the minds of the
people. Is the principle of the prac-
tice right? Some of the railroad Of
ficials state that the attorneys i'm
port these cases to localities where
they believe they can obtain verdict
greatly in excess of that to which they
are entitled. These officials state
that the attorneys bring these damage
suits into the rural districts because
they believe the jurors in such sections
of the country will be prejudiced
against the railroads.
The average farmer or resident of
a village is undoubtedly no more pre-
JUDGED against the railroads than are
the majority of residents in our large
cities. The railroads should be able
to get as fair a verdict in Mile Laos
county as in any other county in the
state.
Attorneys state there is tendency
to bring these suits into the smaller
towns because the courts in the large
cities are so crowded that it would be
impossible to bring the case to trial
for IL or 18 months.
Laying aside all arguments on
either side of the question, the fact
remains that under our present laws
this practice is permitted and it is not
right for any parties concerned to
circulate propaganda which will tend
to prejudice jurors who will be called
to decide such cases. Let every case
be tried before an unprejudiced jury
so that the decision may be rendered
according to the evidence presented.

years for repayment. These loans
were made upon basis which enabled
the farmer and the live stock grower
to obtain money at from z to TX per
cent. This act became effective on
August 21, 1921. -
According to a report issued by the
War Finance corporation of it's busi-
ness up to and including August Is,
1922, it had since August 81, 1921,
made loans to agricultural and live
stock interests in the aggregate sum
of $346,923,826. This is an average
of practically $1,o00,0o0 day lin
c1uding Sundays) for one year which
has been loaned the agricultural sec
tions|of the United States by the War
Finance corporation, under powers
given it by the special session of the
republican congress.
The immediate effect of enlarging
the power of the War Finance corpor-
alton was to restore confidence in the
agricultural situation, stop forced
liquidation, prevent any further sacri-
tice of farm crops or live stock, stabil-
ize the markets and to assure the agri-
cultural interests that they would be
given proper support to weather the
storm.
The work of the corporation saved
the farmer from the necessity of sacri-
ficing his 1921 crops to obtain ready
money. Furthermore, the prompt ac-
| tion by congress in amending the War
Finance corporation act, stopped the
agitation of fantastic financial doc
trines and the promotion of danger
Gus policies which were being urged
upon the country by certain influences,
The successes which attended the
operation of the War Finance corpor-
alton under it's new powers justified
the congress in extending it's life one
year, to June 80, 1923.-National Re-

War Finance Corporation Act.

When the Harding administration
came into power an agricultural crisis
existed. The enforced defation of
prices in 1920 compelled the farmer
and the live stock grower to market
their products at an actual loss. It
left them without any money to fl
nance their operation until the 1921
crops were marketed. To make bad
situation worse, unexpected restriction
OF farm credits made it impossible for
the farmer and the live stock grower
to extend their loans or to make new
ones to tide them over the crisis.
These conditions forced agricultural
and live stock interests into position
which meant absolute ruin unless i'm
mediate relief were given. Every-
thing was being sacrificed by farming
interests to meet the situation. It
was not generally known at the time
how serious the situation really was

Timely Compromises.

+. /,
|. Both the railroads that have ac-
cepted the peace settlement and the
shopmen who have approved it are
yielding something, which is the ele.
ment of compromise and marks the
loosening, to some extent at least, OF
stiff necks that have stood in the way
of peace.
The public will be less interested in
the precise details of the settlement
than they are in the fact that ii
means that shortly the shops will be
operating at full capacity on part Of
the railroads, and that in all proba-
bility the acceptance of settlement
by some roads means sooner or later
that all will accept.
While the settlement affects direct.
ly only quarter of the railroads OF
the country, there is hope that the
spirit of compromise will spread and

Eliminates the Luxuries.

When conditions arise so that it is
cheaper for man to rent a farm or
a home rather than to own it, it is
time to call halt on public 'expendi-
lures which are not absolutely neces-
sary. There is no reason why city,
schools, county and state cannot deny
themselves some luxuries until they
can afford them, just as an individual
has to do. This is the only way we
shall catch up, and it is up to public
officials everywhere to prune to the
limit every request for appropriations
that comes before them.-Faribault

Hard Water Softened by Peat,

Hard water can be softened by mere
ly pouring it through a bed Of raw
peat, the softening being caused by
the formation of insoluble calcium
and magnesium salts by reaction with
acids that are normal constituents of
the peat, and all the hardness is taken
out Of the water in passing through it.
It is thought that If this process could
be profitably adopted the result would
be quite an achievement, as an eco
nomical outlet for peat would thus be
found.-P6pular Mechanics Magazine.
