The National leader., 1922-04-03
WALLACE AND POLITICS


Editor National Leader: Farmers
problems throughout the United
States are economic and not POLITICAL"
said Secretary of Agricultural WAL
lace in his speech at Atlanta, Ga. This
statement, coming from Mr.. Wallace
at this time, would be amusing if the
situation were not so serious. We
wonder when Mr.. Wallace changed
his mind in regard to. farmers prob
lens. If we remember rightly, little
more than year ago, according to
Mr.. Wallace and many other promi-
nent Republicans, the farmers prob
lens were all POLITICAL. Not only
Mr.. Wallace, but all the professional
politicians that the old gang could get
together only recently could utter
nothing but: ssVote for Harding"
Many millions of dollars were spent
telling the farmers that a political
party had robbed them and that the
Republicans, if elected, would make
everything all right. But that's not
"politics!"
Secretary Wallace also said in his
Atlanta speech that he considered the
present agricultural depression the
worst in the history of the country.
Although he does not say who brought
about these conditions, we take it for
granted it was the Democrats.
Then Mr.. Wallace goes on to say
that during the past eight months
congress has put through more legis-
lation to help the farmers than any
other congress ever did in the same
length of time. He does not mention
just what it is that congress has done.
But the little that was done was done
by and through politics, wasn't it?
Truly, Mr.. Wallace may be right in
saying the farmers problems are
Economic" but we have suspicion
that next election they will be apolit-
ical" again. A. B. EATON.

SHOWS A LARGE GROWTH
Over s23, ,764 900 of Insurance Is Now

The Midland Life Insurance Com
pany Of Kansas City, Missouri, pub
fishes to it's policy holders and to the
public generally in this community to-
day statement of its business show
ing it's assets and liabilities, its in
surance account and its reserve and
surplus funds for policy holders pro
lection. The statement published this

Insurance in Force of approximately
$24,OOO,OOO; assets of $2,261 900, and
reserve and surplus funds for the pro-
lection of its policy holders of over
$2,OO0,OOO.
Life Insurance is undoubtedly
recognized today by everyone as one
of the necessities, and last years
business depression and readjustment
have brought more forcibly than ever
to the people their need for the estate
and personal protection that life in
surance furnishes.
The Midland Life's business in this
section of the country shows splen-
did increase and their District Agent
in this territory, Mr.. Raymond C. Nc
Nally, confidently predicts a corre-
spondingly greater increase during
1922.
The Midland Life is Western Conn.,
pany for Western people. All of it's
funds are invested in well secured
farm mortgages or municipal bonds in
the territory in which those funds
originate as premium payments.

THE real Theodore, Empress of the Roman
/ Empire was the wife of the Emperor
Justinian, born probably in Byzantium (as
Constantinople was then called), in the early
years of the sixth century and died in the
wear SAT. According to Procopius, the chief
historian of that period, but by no means a
trustworthy authority, because of the mani
fest hatred of Theodore shown in his writ
ings, she was the daughter of Acaclus, hon
tanner in the Amphtheatre at Constantln-
ople. While still child, she was sent on the
stage to earn her living. She became quite
notorious in her younger days, and the spirit
and impudence of her acting in the rough tar
ces delighted the crowd Of that period. Pro-
copius declares that she became a noted cour-
tesan and accompanied the Roman Governor,
Hecebolus, on journey to Northern Africa,
hut having quarreled with him, returned to
Constantinople where she was the center OF
much gayety and life. At this time, Justin
ian, nephew of the Emperor Justin, became
infatuated with her and wished to marry her,
but could not overcome the opposition of the
Empress Euphema After her death, how
ever, Justnian married Theodore and when
he succeeded to the throne on the death OF his
uncle, Theodore became the Empress OF the
Roman Empire. Justinian was then 44 years
of age and Theodore was %. Procoplus re-
lates in his history, the Anecdota, many re-
pulsive tales regarding Theodoras earlier
life. But his evident hatred of her compell-
ed later historians to regard him as very
doubtful witness 1t seems quite clear, how
ever from the "Life of Justinian" by the his
torian Theophilus, that after her marriage,

real, TEEODORA AS HISTORY SEES HER;
HIGHEST AUTHORITY STRONG IN DEFENSE

Theooora was an irreproachabe wife, except
for the one love affair with Andreas, which
later proved her downfall. She completely
dominated Justinian and practically ruled the
Empire
Contradicting the evidence of Procopius.
whose slanders against Theodore were cop
led by the historian Gibbon, there is to be set
the silence of other contemporary writers
like Agathius and Evagarius, as well as such
later historians as Theophanes, none of
life before her marriage. 1t is difficult to
establish any view of the controversy with
out long and minute examination of the au-
thorities, and in particular of the Anecdota,
but the most probable conclusion seems to be
that the charges of Procopius, which Gibbon
did not blush to copy, deserve no more weight
than would be given nowadays to the malig
nant scandal of disappointed courtiers ;-(2)
that apparently Theodore was an actress and
a courtesan and not inprobably conspicuous
in both characters; (3) that it is impossible
to determine how far the specific charges
brought against her by Procopius deserve
credence. About the beauty, the intellectual
gifts and the imperious will of Theodore,
there can be no doubt. She was evidently an
extraordinary person, born to shine in any
station of life-From the Encyclopaedia
