CORN AND COIN.

With crop estimated at nearly three billion bushels which will bring in the nejghborhood of 50 cents a bushel on the average this year, the corn growers of the country will have something more than pin money to spend. They will re- ceive something over $1,750, ,0o0,00 for their crop. The democrats will hardly attempt to make an issue of that
 Something over year ago the price of corn was so low that there was talk of using it for fuel dn the west Be- fore the passage of the emergency tariff law we were importing considerable quantities of corn, most all of it from Argentina. This, added to other condi- tions was having a most depressing ef- feet on the corn market.
 The coming year is to be feast year for our cattle, hogs, sheep, chickens, horses and mules. Corn will put. pep in the meat we eat; it will sweeten the bacon and put yellow coat of fat on the chickens. It will add to the egg crop. enrich the milk, the butter and the cheese. It will strengthen the beast of burden and make more mellifuous the contralto of the mule. Human consum- CTS of corn, from the pone to the flake will be benefited by the enormous crop about to be reaped. Verify, republican, | ism spells prosperity and corn is coin.

eR7Ar ELEPHANTS PROPOSAL.

A tISo-fold purpose is to be discerned in Lord Balfour's identic note to the al- lied powers on the subject of fnterallied Indebtedness. While primarily 1t was Great Britains answer to the recent French proposals that Frances debt to Britain be cancelled as a condition of reducing the French demands upon Ger many. it was also intended for American reading.
 Tho British position Is one that is we'll supported by logic and reason. Great Britain becsme the guarantor for other allied nations in borrowing from the United States in order that the war might be won. She has no intention of evading this obligation and she dees not dispute the right of the United States to demand that these guaranteed debts be paid. She is prepared to meet this obligation. but she is now asked in addition to cancel the French and other fshts to her and give up her share of German repErations in order to bring the German debt down to practical dimen- lions. While ready enough to forgive he debts owing her and renounce her slaims upon Germany, Lord Balfour writes that Great Britain cannot, in jus hce 10 the heavily burdsned British tax savers, take any such action while the American claims stand against her. But s her own indebtedness could be re- lucsd, she would agree to abate her slaims upon the alhed nations and upon Germany In a corresponding proportion
 This is not the first time that the sub- iect of a general cancellation of fnteral- H~L E~ts E-~.
 sral cancellation in the case of the al. nes would be clear gain for them. csreai Britain would gain exactly as much a. Ehs would lose, while this government would lose the total of over S11 900 900, .. 100 owing us. To a large extent tht United States would be paying the cos bf the war and the Harding administra lion. In declining to consider the propo Fiton. Is taking the same course followed by the Wilson administration which rec asutzed That public sentiment in thi country would not permit the govern nent to write on these debts.
 Stability and real peace in Europe de pend upon balancing of their budget by the European states. which cannot b accomplished until there is increase, taxation and a marked reduction in ex Denditures, notably for armaments. Tn nations need to approach the workfn put Of the compiler situation in the prop sr spirit and with feeling of coopera Ion Tn this solution it may well b hat the United States holds the key { he situation, not that we must eithe igree to debt cancellation or hold aloo and insist upon cur claims, but possibI in supplying the real leadership an cooperation that the situation calls for.

There is no exaggeration in saying that with the death of Alexander Gra- han Bell there parsed out one of the greatest mer Of the nineteenth cen tury. Inventor of the telephone and CO., inventor of the graphophone, his death closed a career as a scientist that has few parallels in history.
 It Is worth noting. too. that Bells greatness was achieved in the service of humanity. Everything he did-and he did much more than Invent the telephone was in the direction of making life easier and pleasanter Sometimes he labored for special classes, such as the deaf and dumb sometimes for the whole world, as in the case of the telephone.

Famous Literary Mysteries
Did Rousseau Commit Suicide?

One of the most striking characters | in French literature is Jean Jacques Rousseau, striking not alone for his | marvellous gifts as philosopher and writer. but for the many sides to his character, some of which were as un- commendable as others were commend able.
 Rousseau was born in TIP, and died at ErmenoHville, France, on July 2, TITS. There are at least two different versions as to the cause of his death. Some writers affirm, that being crushed under real and imaginary woe he died in 8 fit, while others think despair drove him to suicide.
 There seems to be no doubt that all the time of his death this brilliant genius was a semi-lunatic. His death occur red at the beautiful country home of Rene de Girardin, and he was first bur led on the estate, but later his body was taken to Paris and placed in the Pan theon.
 De Girandin reported his death as due to natural causes, but he was his firm friend and admirer and wanted the world to think the very best of him. This was only natural because he was harboring under his own roof and as his guest one of the greatest geniuses of his age.
 Rousseau's most remarkable book is his Confessions" It is an unreliable book, but it gives the mans distorted views of his own life and of life in gen l eral. The greatest writers since his time declared that the Confessions of Rousseau" influenced their literary work and their manner of thought more than that exerted by any other personality. | But what an interesting study Is the | life of this literary wonder! He was
 only sixteen years of age when one day walked outside the walls of Geneva. 1 MedHating on the cruelty of the en-
 graver with whom he was learning a 1 trade, he became absorbed in keen 1 enjoyment of his momentary freedom. 1 Returning, he found the city gates lock | ed and inspired with the idea of escap- 1 ing from his hateful surrounding, he | started off to Savoy to begin a life of | strange adventure and unique expert ence.
 After wandering about for some time T he engaged himself as a footman. but having stolen some valuables, he saved himself from punishment only by blam- ing the theft on maid. His experience during the next few years led hin
 through all grades of society, from vag- ahondage to court circles. He was thir. i ty-three years old when he first became
 known as a clever writer and musician He followed up his literary success by
 a really beautiful opera. But his attacks
 on various French customs and ideal'
 made Paris an uncomfortable abode fol him. Thereupon he resolved to go bacl
 home, where he met with a cordial re
 ception from the learned men of Switz f erland.
 Here again Rousseau dazz1ed tn
 world by his clever problem novels
 and philosophical treaties, but he con tinued his life effort os making as man,

THERE WAS HOPE

1T think they have the idea that by.I expressing themselves they are go- ing to evolve world which will be run by pressing buttons, thus doing away with the mechanics of home.

REED AND THE PRIMARY.

Tn Senator James A. Reeds victory for rsn5fHfHstion in Missouri is to be seen 3 forcible example of the working of the primary system which has replaced the ald system of nomination by convention. Without the primary system, the demo- sratic state convention would have been hsld long ago and Breckenridge Long, Reeds opponent, would have been norni- hated by the party organization which would have dominated the convention.
 The primary may not produce ideal results. Perhaps that Is too much to be expected. But ft at least gives every candidate a chance and no one can be Eidetracked by the party organization. The people have their say in a primary E they want to register their choice.
 Long at best would have been a neu- tral. a colorless senator and for a con- siderable time at least without much in- fuence. Reed is a strong personality. whose acridity in debate and familiarity Eith public business are conceded by his party opponents. If Missouri has a pride in forceful representation, her rourse, or the course of her democracy, is understandable without much regard Do the faction warfare.
 Likewise since the days of Benton Missouri has preferred to keep an ener- rctic man in the senate. Benton had 90 years. six terms. George Graham Vest Eed we believe in his fourth term Francis Marion Coclreu had about the uzne term of service. Forcefulnes, counts for much in Missouri. .
 But Reeds nomination does not mear that he will necessarily return to tht senata A republican is nominated against him. He must fight for the place
 Missouri is a doubtful state.
