A CURIOUS campaign this has
~ been-a campaign without an
~ issue. The tariff. which
seemed likely to tear up Jack,
has really figured in tho campaign
only locally. The farmer who has
real grievance at the hustings has
been as voiceless as the clerk or the
small merchant. The President has
kept his personality in the back
ground. so he is barely mentioned in
the campaign. And whatever the out
come may be the President will lose
no prestige. 1t Is curious how COM
pletely President Harding has erased
himself from the political picture.
His talent for modesty amounts to
genius. Here is tho man who holds
the place Of the greatest power in the
world and in the struggle Of his party
to hold it's congressional majority
cidentally in the campaign. 1t Is
easy to recall how Wilson stood as
target in 1918 and 1914; Taft was
the hinge of the issue in 1910. and
how Roosevelt was magnified and the
Roosevelt policies formed the battle
ground of noisy conflict. Even tho
mild Mckinley could not keep out OF
the campaign of 1898. But this year
President Harding is as remote from
the campaign as a statue in the park.
Yet he and the group about him are
leaders of the party before the peo-
pie. demanding an Endorsement at
the polls. But there are no Harding
policies" to attack. so the campaign
is breaking itself up into local issues
Chief among these is prohibition.
It is the paramount issue in New
Jersey, Ohio. New York. Massachusetts,
and Missouri, and is a secondary
issue in Illinois. And this Is sig
nificant that tho vets instinctively
are lining up with the democrats and
PLY, are supporting the republicans.
If the cleavage is not checked. two
years from now. prohibition may fur
nish a national issue. It would be
charged with emotion. 1t would be
largely sectional. the west and south
against the north Atlantic seaboard,
with the battle ground in the middle
states-Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and West Virginia
West of the Missouri and south of
the Ohio 1t would be all one way.
Possibly the result Tuesday will de-
termine much about tho struggle of
1924.
But in the meantime. upon tho face
of the stagnant waters Of public
opinion has appeared a poisonous SCUM.
The Ku Klux Klan is an issue in
half a dozen states whore prohibition
or the tariff have failed to stir the
people, Texas, Oklahoma, Oregon.
Georgia and Missouri are khan
strongholds. The khan may not be
sniffed out Of politics. Until a great
issue stirs the people. the khan Is in
American politics to stay. 1t Is the
effluvia that rises when public opin-
ion is sluggish and the minds and
hearts of the people are not moved
by real things. Chiefly 1t appeals to
|youth-youth that demands action,
youth eager to realize its vision.

misled. 1t Is naturally not intelli-
gent youth that makes up the MEM
bership Of the khan. But the gener-
alton that has grown up since 1914,
when issues in American politics were
overshadowed by the war, that rest
less. disillusioned. angry and impa-
tient youth forms q nucleus that
gives the khan its power. And
unless the wise men Of the land give
to youth something to talk about in
politics moro important than the
tariff, the khan is likely to loom large
in the campaign Of 1924. From the
scum on the dead surface of the pu-
trid times may rise the poison OF
bigotry. race prejudice. hate. suspi-
cion and fear. to make America
ashamed of herself for a generation
1t is not the klansmen who are to
blame. They are symptoms. not
causes. Tho blame will be on the
leadership of the land that fiddles
away at trifing things while great
events call out Of the future for their
birth. And tho best answer We can
mako Is to sneer at those who feel
the pressure Of progress near their
hearts as "Utopians" and reds"

Middle-aged people VINO des1fe
glimpse back into the days OF the
seventies, when the country. emerg-
ing from tho great war for the Union,

nut period, should read book just
published by Harpers called Mrs
Farrell" 1t was written by the late
William Dean Howells, was printed in
the Atlantic while he was its editor.
nearly fifty years ago, and never has
appeared before in book form. Mr..
Howells was a realist. a great pho
tographer Of manners and morals
among many other things. And his
picture Of upper middle-class Amer
leans in the days of the hustle, the
Grecian bend. the high boots and high
hats surely is authentic. Yet how
different were the exteriors Of people
as Mr.. Howells pictures them then
and the exteriors Of people now.
Such circumlocutions AZ they en-
ployed, such evasions Of apparent
facts such ineffable stupidities Of
politeness as they underwent such
vast pretenses, such hubdubbing as
they seemed to enjoy in pride where
we would be ashamed, are today un-
believable. Life in the seventies as
Mr.. Howells saw it-and he was a
first-rate seer then-must have been
sadly corsetted and miserably but
toned UP. The bright gems for his
crown" must have been prunes as well
as prisms.
We have come long way from that
day. This is the age Of candor. Cam
dor then often was blackened with
smut. Today candor has lost it's sin
full tang. We no longer speak of "A
lady of easy virtue" We say prosti-
tute. We have not longer en- bon
point. We are fat and we "eat and
grow thin" to reduce the size Of our
waistband. We speak as casually of
our livcr and kidneys as we once
spoke of our eyes and ears: legs are
no longer limbs. Even Boston Is be-
coming injured to the hardship Of
beholding the daughters Of Mrs. Few
clothes. at her simple tasks on tho
dancing platforms.

MANY FARMERS
WOULD ASK FOR
FEDERAL SEED
County Agent Estimates That
300 Will Seek Loans if
the Bill Passes.

Probably 300 farmers in Cascade
county will take advantage of the seed
loan this year, if the McCumber bill, in
troduced as an emergency measure to
aid the farmers who have suffered crop
failures because of drouth. passes the
house committee, according to County
Agent +. E. MacSpadden.
Amount Is Reduced
The bill as it was introduced provides
for S5,OOO,OOO to be appropriated for
seed loans in communities where the
crops last year were less than five BUSH
els to the acre, and to dry land farmers
whose crops were destroyed by drouth.
1t was passed by the senate and re-
ceived favorable report by the house
committee. which reduced the amount
of the appropriation from $5,OOO,OOO
to $1,OOO,O0O.
Many Queries Received
Due to press notice that the bill had
passed the senate, Mr. MacSpadden has
been beseiged wit hvisitors and letters
from farmers in the county wanting to
know when they can get the money.
The county agent calls attention to the
fact that if the bill passes the house,
which it most likely will, he said, it
must then be referred to the secretary
of agriculture, who will arrange for the
distribution Of the loans. The matter
will probably not be definitely settled
until April 1, and the farmers will be
notified when the loans are available,
Mr. MacSpadden said.
