partial payments during the boom are getting it
back under forfeited contracts or mortgage fore
closures. Let the government inject an artificial
stimulus into grain prices and the boom will start
all over again. A fresh impetus will be given to
speculation. Land, whether sold or not, will be
marked up, and its owners will expect it to yield
returns on the new valuation. That demand will
presently exhaust all the advantage in the guaran~
teed price and a new and larger guarantee will be
demanded. Thus we shall start again on our
furious race around the circle.
If the price of wheat is guaranteed, why not
that OF corn? If wheat and corn, why not cotton
and tobacco? BY what rule are cattle and hogs to
be excluded from the benefeent patronage of the
government? How about the producers of fruits
on the west coast and the fishermen Of New Eng
land? They are in hard straits like the rest of US.
Are they not to be relieved? And, if we are to
guarantee the returns from the products of the
farm, the orchard and the sea, are we to have no
regard for the millions whose labors are represented
in the output of the mine and the factory2
For the government to. begin guaranteeing
prices is for it to set its face squarely toward the
goal of state socialism, complete and final, for no
other termination Of such an effort is possible.

JAMES

Viscount Bryce, whose death is just announced,
has richly merited all the honors that the govern
ment of his country could bestow, and. when, i few
years ago, the title of viscount was conferred on him
and he was elevated to- the peerage, the recognition
was everywhere regarded as fitting and appropri-
ate. Yet it is as plain James Bryce that he is best
known and will best be remembered, for it was as
the plain citizen, student, statesman and man Of
letters that he achieved success, without any of the
prestige which may come from an aristocratic title
or permanent official position.
Deeply versed in the learning OF the schools,
Bryce added to this the results of a wide and varied
personal experience and Of original research in
which he showed remarkable powers of analysis and
selection, and many of the fruits of his industry are
found in such works as his history Of the Roman
empire and his numerous books of travel. His fame,
however, rests most securely on his "American
Commonwealth" and his Modern Democracy"
two works which, written and published separately,
may be considered essentially as. one. In the for
mer he showed such mastery grasp of the principles
involved in the creation Of the American republic,
such close observation of the facts in it's develop
n1ent, and such a balanced judgment Of the tenden-
cles which had become manifest in its progress, that
the work took its place at once as the most author
itative discussion of that subject. The later work
represents the more ripened Judgment of the schol-
ar and publicist on the same class of subjects, after
q generation had passed since the publication of the
Broad and liberal in his judgments, thorough
|ly sympathetic toward every effort made by man
kind toward greater opportunity and wholesome
development, Bryce nevertheless approached the
problems of democracy with the mind Of a scientist
rather than that of an advocate. Committed thor
oughly to the principles Of democracy, he recognized
and pointed out the difficulties which peoples find
lin the way Of self government, and while there is
great and permanent value in his analysis Of the
methods whereby democracy has achieved success,
LOT fully equal value are his discussions Of the ways
m which democracy has in conspicuous instances
failed in efficiency.
No man was ever more heartily welcomed to
an ambassadoral position at Washington, for think
ing Americans recognized IN him an able and ear
nest friend Of their nation and i deeply interested
and constructive,c critic Of its institutions

THE PRESIDENT AND THE WATERWAY.
During the ORE

WI During the presidential campaign last year he
culHerald, in commenting on the fact that both the
'hhaapresidential candidates were from Ohio, pointed out
reathat those who were working earnestly in the inter
hest Of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence navigation
nd project had reason for satisfaction in this fact, be-
ccause, while it was neither to be expected nor de-
: sired that a president OF the United States should
aid in promoting a great movement involving the
|, aanation in a large investment merely because of a
tedlocal interest in the project, yet the fact that the
Geienext president would be an Ohio man would elm
esm"inate the possibility of presidential opposition to
lninthe waterways plan merely because of objections
aethat the waterways project is being opposed by
ainpowerful New York interests solely on local
fairgrounds
q President Harding has just expressed himself
farm no uncertain manner on the Great Lakes-St.
nd Lawrence project. He approves Of it heartily, not
: ION sectional, but OH broad national grounds. In
nuhis discussion of the subject he makes an interest
atMrng comparison with European conditions. He
1prrpoints out that by means OF canals and river i'm
improvements the peoples Of Europe are preparing to
!, :, 1,provlde continuous navigation from the Black sea
Snoto the North sea, and from the Mediterranean to
got the Baltic. These prof ects are being pushed for
= ward now, in spite OF the fact that the economic
n affairs of Europe were never before in such great
e. confusion, and in spite OF the fact that the rivalries
in,sand jealousies of a score Of nations and Of more
'cythan as many separate races stand i'll the way. He
thn,suggests that IT 1t is possible tor Europe to sur
d n1ount these obstacles it. should be easy for Ameri-
'ns,ca on both sides OF the Canadian line to carry for
til ward an undertaking against which these peculiar
in objechons do not lie.
an - The hearty approval OF the project by the pres
will have great weight, and the people of the
nengreat interior Of the continent have every reason
l. i,for satisfaction with the progress that is being
tfn1ade. The waterway will mean millions of dollars
y - FIN reduced freight rates to the interior, and it will
e e.also be of immense importance in relieving the
,,sgpressure on the railroads which has resulted in SO
much congestion at critical times.

 When he was overcome my assis- tant broke into the room. I asked for a billy intending to hit him few raps and knock him out completely he would ot come to when the drug had worn off.
