bloc is gathering strength.
Without the farmer the country
will go to pieces. So, according
to the latest style. We must
have a farmers bloc.
And what would happen to

We must have a labor bloc. Sam

Another Milestone

NNE brief paragraph IN the re-
ID cent report of the Postmaster
" General registers an advance
in American political thinking.
Newly appointed pOstmasters, "
it says, ARE no longer permitted
to enter upon their duties in ignOr-
ance of the first principles of post
office management. Training schools
have been organized at central ac-
counting offices where they receive
adequate instruction.
Gone, apparently. is the proud
feeling that any green citizen can
qualify miraculously for any public
office by the mere fact of getting
appointed to it.
The establishment of schools for
political voeations is new proof of
the swing toward education.

THE SPECTATOR
The LeUer

SoMEwHERE around 1000
~ years ago. In Greece, agen-
tleman by the. name Of Archi-
medes expounded the law of
the lever. He grew SO enthu-
siastic about II that he
claimed he could lift the world
II he had the proper lever
and had some place to stand.
Dos posto. or. Give me where
on to stand, is his favorite
saying.
About all the supremacy Of
man over the other animals
depends not upon his superior
strength, but upon his cum
ming, which enables him to
use tools. The man drives the
horse simply because he
knows enough to put a bit in
the horses mouth and the
horse does not know enough
to spit 1t out. II II were
simply a question of brute
strength, the horse would be
driving the man.
Yakima Canutt. the cowboy
broncho rider and steer wres.
tier. explains how a man who
weighs but $50 pounds can
throw a steer weighing more
than 1000 pounds.
IT seems all to be due to the
idea Of the aforesaid Archi-
medes.
Long horns on the ami
mails" he says, ARE OF espe-
cial benefit to the steer wres-
tier. who is to grasp these pro-
tuberances firmly and apply
Archimedes' principle OF lev
erage. Speed, nerve and
strength are necessary ad-
juncts but with all these, the
wrestler-or, as he is called
in the West. the 'bulldogger'-
would be failure. He has TO
know the proper holds even

building in Paris or his prin-
ciple is something that banks
