WHAT country editor doesn't have
- to go up against hasn't been in
vented yet, but we're expecting it to
be any day.
Every person expects the editor to
have real mind and to use it and his
editorial column to support said per-
sons particular views; for every per-
son knows that his own opinion is the
only right one, and naturally expects
the editor to put the stamp of public
approval on it.
For instance: This week we have
been asked by fertilizer company
to help it prevent Henry Ford getting
hold of Muscle Shoals, and Henry
has asked US to boost for him and
the Dearborn Independent. We have
been expected to sympathize with the
poor devil who had to pay a dog tax,
and with Marshal Bob Wilson for hav-
ing to collect it. The sheep men want

us to help get Otto Jones goat, and
Otto wants us to help him hand the
sheep bunch whatfor. The public
utilities wants us to help make the rail-
roads behave, and the railroads want
us to help knock the tar out of the
p.u.c. We've been asked to Stop the
paper, and to keep the good work
going; to tell how the packers lost
$l9O0O,OO0 last year, and How they
are robbing the producer; to advertise
"Hootch," and support Volsteadism;
to cut out politics, and to hand the
Republicans more of what they need !;
to go to church, and to go fishing; to
patronize home merchants, and to buy
from mail order houses; to quit it,
and to keep on. These are only few
samples of one week in midwinter;
there are hundred others.
It's a great life-if you don't

A Hard Row.

THE plight of reclamation in the
: west today is perhaps more pre-
carious than it has been in many years
One of the unanticipated results of a
financial and business depression has
been to nip in the bud those roseate
plans for the development, on broad
scale, of the entire west. Projects
well under way today face, not only
delays in construction, but abandon
ment. Returns to the reclamation
fund are scarcely more than enough
to sustain the reclamation department
and carry on with projects already
operating.
Perhaps the west is largely respon-
sible. Not all years are wonder years,
not all years are profitable years. I'm
pressed with the necessity of convinc-
ing reluctant east of the economic
desirability of developing western
wastes, we have steadfastly put our
best foot forward. To the east, it is
surprise to find that even the magni-
fcent grain fields of the west some
times leave their owners facing actual
want.
One can readily understand the
eastern attitude If the west cannot
pay for projects now completed, why
jeopardize more money upon similar
ventures?
But the east and some of US in the
west overlook the one big, basic fact.
Development means wealth and eco
nomic advantages in international
affairs. Things, however dark they
may seem, have way of righting
themselves if they are given half
chance. Mans greatest genius is
that of adaptibility and organization
to accompany it. 1t is foolish and
futile to fancy that this problem can
not be worked out, that even more
expensive western reclaimed areas
cannot pay their way. They can if
America really wishes them to do so.
What are few millions, more or
less, to the United States? We have
money to sink in rivers and harbors,
we have money to build roads and
highways, we have money to subsi-
die the railroads and now we contem-
plate the same thing to insure the
United States a merchant marine
worthy our place in the world of
ocean commerce.
Perhaps the time will come when
Uncle Sam can see that the arid west
has even better claim on the gov
eminent for outright gifts than have
some of these purely individually
commercial enterprises.
The west has been reluctant to face
this matter. We have always felt that
the last thing we should do is to per.
NIT Washington to believe that we
are not willing to pay for the projects
the government has built for us. We
may have been wrong.

summing up of results that he pro-
nounced wholly satisfactory. His
statement with regard to armed pre-
paredness ranks with the famous too
proud to fight" utterance of his pre-
decessor But he got away with the
declaration that although he once be-
lieved in armed preparedness that Il
have now come to believe that there
is a better preparedness in a public
mind and world opinion made ready
to grant justice precisely as it exacts
it." As was to be expected, he ex-
planned next day, that he favors keep
ing up the army and navy to high
state of efficiency.
Those who talked peace" when the
word almost gave many people symp-
toms of apoplexy, are apt to take
good deal of satisfaction out of Presi-
dent Harding's reference to the pos
sibilities of agreements among nations,
by the process of having the peace
table arranged before instead of after
the fighting. Speaking to the depart
ing delegates at the armament con-
ference, he said: mo intrigue, no Of

exchanged, differences composed, and
you came to understand how common,
after all, are human aspirations; how
alike, indeed, and how easily recon-
cilable, are our national aspirations.
1t is announced that the senate will
proceed to eratify these treaties as
speedily as possible. While there
will be opposition there are no indi-
cations at this time of the probability
of protracted struggle being staged.

The President and
The Bonus.

The Bonus.
President Harding took the re-
sponsibility last year of postponing
the soldiers bonus bill. Leaders in
congress have joined with the Amer
lean Legion and the powerful political
interests of the country in urging the
president to come out in support of
the bonus at this time. To all these
entreaties, Mr. Harding has answered
congress: "Raise the money, if you
vote this bonus The leaders there
upon have made repeated trips to the
White House to ask the president
how can we raise it?" That's for
you to say" has been the essence of
the answer, on each and every oc-
casion.
The soldiers bonus bill will be re-
ported to congress, and it is likely to

fact he didn't grumble at $50 per
month. All the service man asks to-
day is the equality which the con-
stitution guarantees him. Sentiment
aside, he certainly has all the argu-
ments to support his request for ad-
justed compensation. And sentiment
hardly serves as an economic pallia-
tive.

of taxing China and Japan he added

the bonus bill is found in some of the
farmers organizations, and some of
the leaders have protested to congress

insist that no responsibility for lite en-

Congress has given up the idea of
linking the bill with the allied debt.
