Of special pleaders for special fayors

these arc the reasons
Nathan L. Miller gives for his desire
10 serve as Governor for another twe
years.
The program hee outlines Is already
under way. Two years more will see
1t on the road to completion. Should
he be retired now, he believes, ard
those who have most closely observed
affairs in Albany believe, il would be
knocked sky high.
Governor Milier's opponent in the
campaign recently described him as a
reactionary, devoid OF human feeling.
But they will tell you in Syracuse,
where the Governo. iives, and in
Albany, where he has served as Comp
roller, Judge OF the Court Of Appeals
end Governor, that he is at least le0
per cent human. and that he has made
more real progress in government than
any Governor within their memory.
He is not. it is true, of the violent
handshaking sort or back slapper.
You can hardly picture him standing in
the lobby of convention hotel and
passing out cigars to the boys from
Cohoes and Patchogue and telling
them TO be sure and vote right
state of New York Present
Client of Mr.. Miller, Lawyer
Nor can you, on the other hand,
fancy him sitting in the back room of
a suite in the same hotel and assur-
ing some man of big influence that
things would be all right at Albany
next year if the campaign fund was big
enough.
Mr.. Miller is lawyer, and a good
enc. His most cordial political
enemies will admit that. Just at pres
ent his client is the State of New York.
And he is givingf this client all his
energy and all his ability. Both are
worth many times the $4,000 the state
pays him years 900 of which sti-
pend he gave back last year because
somebody made mistake and run up
an unjustifeable expense bill for that
amount. He wasn't responsible for the
mistake, but it was made by an APP
pointee OF his, and so he made good.
Naturally no Tammany man would
think man who would give back to
the people $4,000 which he wasn't
compelled to give back was human.
That may be the reason for AL
Smiths definition.
In Syracuse, where the Governor is
best known, they think he is the big
gest man in the state, and insist that
il he were just little more willing to
truckle to the men who control the
votes he could easily get the Presi-
Dental nomination. He may get the
Presidential nomination some time
he is only fifty-four now-but it went
be because he does any trucking.
Truckling isn't his style. The thing he
possesses in the most marked degree is
courage-the politicians use a shorter
and uglier word for it.

A Prescription for Long Life


The gathering of centenarians which
took place the other day recalled the
case of the eminent German physician.
Dr.. Fischweiler, who died recently at
the age of 1os He often declared that
he possessed al infallible rule for
securing longevity, witch he would
reveal to the world in his will. Upon
his death, then, this formula was dis
closed:
"Put your bed, orienting it by means
Of a compass. SO that you will ha-,a

and spcat other large amounts of
money for public service.
"Now the reason that should like
10 extend my term for two more years
is that | believe certain plans we have
made to keep down expenses and better
public service will be abandoned if my
opponent is elected.
These plans concern themselves
with the present state machinery,
which my opponent says cannot be
used effectively. His view is that con-
stitntiona amendment authorizing
complete reorganization of the state
government is necessary before eff
cient methods can be introduced.

chinery as we found it, partly because
it is never certain that constitutional
amendments can be passed, but chiefly
because the existing machinery pro-

what we sought to do.

put all the agencies for the collection

results.
"There are other departments that
ought to be united, and which we hope

dicate just what these departments are.
But the aim is to secure correlated
effort SO far as possible and to put the
responsibility where it can be located.
"Often very important office is
tucked away in some department as a
division, where it can proceed at its
task almost unnoticed, and operate in
efficiently for a long time without at

DR.. Hatfield, the American "rain

cule on his recent arrival at Naples.
Everybody laughed at him and the in
stallation of his apparatus provoked
the most pitiless jokes. But presently

Neapolitan region, and now if a doctor
was to offer his services against the

A MANS JOB By Senator Arthur CaPPer in "Trained Men"

A mans job is his best friend. It clothes and feeds his wife and child ren, pays the rent and supplies them with the wherewithal to develop and become cultivated. The least a man can do in return is to love his job. A mans job is grateful It is like a little garden that thr1ves on love. It will one day flower into fruit worth while for him and his to enjoy. If you ask any successful man the reas- on for his making good he will tell you that first and foremost it is be- cause he likes his work-indeed, he loves it. His whole heart and soul are wrapped up in it. His whole physical and mental energies are focused on it. He walks his work, he talks his work, he is entirely in- separable from his work; and that is the way every man worth his salt ought to be if he wants to make his work what it should be and make himself what, he wants to be.

 pressing problems, played fast and
 loose with the veterans of the Great War, goose-stepped before organized bands of noisy minorities, honeyfulg- ed the pacifcists, enacted tariff bill that, as we have repeatedly said, is a disgrace to the Republican party and a menace to the Nation,' insulted the intelligence and inf1amed the passion of the electorate in many parts of the country by appointments to office that are indefensible on any score-for example E. Mont Reilly as governor Of Porto Rico and whole tribe of po- Iitical swindlers south of the Mason and Dixon line.
 Instead of leadership in the lower house of Congress the Republicans have set up an oligarchy consisting of of Wyoming, Madden of Illi- nois, Kelly of Michigan, and Anthony of Kansas-the worst in the lot. In- stead of resisting the impudent and manner in which the oli- garchy has invaded the constitutional | premises of the Executive, the Execu- tive has in too many instances, sa- [ Iaamed before the invaders. In the place of 'one man government at the executive end of the Avenue, the party in power has given the country taste of misgovernment at both ends if the congressional oligarchy as unfit o administer as it was to legislate."

THE FARM BUREAU AND
 THE POTATO INDUSTRY

The Farm Bureau of Arizona as a | state organization and through its locals has won a great triumph for
 the farmers this year. Except for the work of this organization, Coco
 nino potato growers like those of other states would now be getting but
 forty-five cents for their potatoes. Had all the farmers dumped their
 spuds on the market without the aid
 of the farmers marketing Association
 the bottom would inevitably have
 dropped out here as elsewhere. By
 means of the Bureau cooperating
 with Babbitt Brothers and the whole
 sale dealers of the state, the price has
 been kept above dollar, one dollar
 and twenty cents being the lowest mark reached thus far. Indications are that the bottom has been reached in the potato market and that the price will improve somewhat during the next few weeks. If that proves true the farmers dealing thru the Bureau will receive an average price somewhat above that now being paid. 1 This is a great achievement for the Bureau. It has proven the worth of | that organization, both to the farmer | and to the community-for the pros perity of the farmer is necessary to the prosperity of the community.
Williams news., 1922-11-24
TREATING THE OUTSIDER RIGHT

has grown to be an organization with considerable strength. When an or ganization gets to be powerful th2 temptation to crush those not work ing with it naturally arises. It is a matter worthy of favorable com ment that the Farm Bureau never takes this attitude. The Bureau en- deavors to help all the farmers and does help them whether they are members of the organization or not, for it helps to steady the market for all the farmers.
Williams news., 1922-11-24
THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY
 NEEDS THAT WAREHOUSE

The potato warehouse which the farmers about Williams are hoping
 to build here, is needed not alone for
 the prosperity of the farmers, but for
 the prosperity of the community as
 whole. Prosperous farmers are
 needed if the town and the commun- i ity in general are to prosper. The
 greatest need of the farmers about
 Williams is a large warehouse that
 will accomodate hundred or so cars
 of potatoes. The Farm Bureau has
 taken hold of the marketing problem
 and has made a go of it. Given a large warehouse in Williams the As
 sociation would be able to handle a very large crop in such a way that the farmer would get all that the market would justify, for his potatoes. Once the farmer is assured of market and the facilities for marketing his crop, this will become a prosperous potato growing community. When that day comes, the merchants in particular, and the farmers in general will share in the prosperity which the farmers will wrings from the soil.
 The farmers are struggling to ar- range the finances for erecting their | warehouse next year. The mer- i chants and other townspeople of Will Hams would make good business in- | vestment if they would raise fund to help along that warehouse and give that fund to the farmers to help build that warehouse. The good will which this would create and the aid which it would be to the potato i'm dustry would react to the merchants and others contributing to such fund in a measure that would make heir investment in the warehouse pay arge indirect dividends.
