RECOGNIZES THE POSITION OF THE FARMERS.

three years ago, but permanent and de served agricultural good fortune de- bends on better and cheaper transpor tation."
 Which brings us back to the question of railroads and railroad strikes, again. Enough of that for the present. But here's one more final extract from the message, which I feel constrained % make because it so magnifcently sus- tains one thesis you and I have been maintaining for many years -
 "The wide spread between production costs and prices which consumers pay concerns every citizen of the republic. | It contributes very largely to the unrest in agriculture, and must stand sponsor i for much against which we inveigh in that familiar term-the high cost of l living. No one doubts the excess $ 1 traceable to the levy of the middleman, but it would be unfair to charge him | with all the responsibility before We appraise what is ,exactet of hf"E SCC our modern1y complex life. Admittedly 1 the consumer is much to blame himself : because, of his prodigal expenditure and his exaction of service etc.
 For this the presidents suggestion Is i right in line with that which we have talked over,. again and again, viz: the
 importance of cooperative buying a: well as cooperative marketing.
 Now, don't want to be understood as saying that these fragments which have quoted are all there is in tht
 message of interest. Far from it. Tht
 message is a rather unusually good ont
 from start to finish. It has a firmnes! of touch which suggests that Presiden
 Harding is getting on to- his job. Gu riously enough, all the way through i
 shows that he, the executive, is reall.
 closer to the people, more responsive t
 their call. and more devoted to thei
 welfare than the four or five hundred
 congressman at the other end of tn
 avenue. It may not be respectful bu
 it is true to say that the country woulf
 be better off if that undigested and un
 digesting mob under the big dom
 would simply carry out the suggestion of the message and then-go home. Of course, they won't. They've go to wrangle and splutter and clapper . claw each other, and kick up such , dust as to obscure the real issues. 4 President Thomas Jefferson said, nor

What a blessing it would be if we could once more have a congress made up of such men as Washington and Franklin who, as Jef- ferson has testified, never spoke more than ten minutes at time, and then only to the main point in debate. But Senator Podsnap and Congressman Hicklebury class themselves higher than Washington and Franklin; con slider themselves more intelligent and want us to regard them as more pa triotic Which, no doubt, contributes greatly to their own self -satisfsction- So long as they can get away with it.
 It is reported by WasEfngton coFres- pondents that several members of the farm bloc, so-called, are not satisfied with the message. Naturally. There
 are several members of that bloc who are constitutionaIy united for finding satisfaction in anything outside of their

 By the way, I noticed. the other day that The Man Who Talks for The Bu1 letin couldn't quite make up his mind from a search of the dictionaries, wha was the difference betwen a states man" and politician I'm reIuctan to be thought of as setting up Agains

 tentative step toward accuracy.
