moment the same feeling of party
loyalty that men have. This is he
cause they lack experience in the
political field and because in order
to getFthe things they have wanted
in the past they have had to be BIZ
partisan. AS they progress polite

do their best ork through party
organization and that their duty
and their inclination will be TO:
elevate the parties and to clarity
many conditions which are nov
cloudy
There are more Republican wo.
men in the United States than Re-
publican men This is because
women absorb their political be-
1iefs from their fathers and grand
fathers rather than from their hus-
bands. The fathers and grand
fathers Of the Republican women
of today lived in the strenuous
days of the Republican party and
hence were loyal to its early and
splendid principles.
American women are interested
in the present rather than in the
past. However, they cannot but
bear in mind the past achieve

the part it has played in the hist

TIE FARsiER.s EXAMPLE
G EcRETARY WALLAc IN an l address before
~ an agricultural gathering = short time ago
com mended the farmers for the stand they have
always taken in their determinati to produce
food no matter how Encouraging the outlook for
prices This stand is especially noticeable in con
trast with taken by other groups OF producers
and those responsible for getting public necessities
into the hands of the people
.sThe farmer, said Secretary Wallace believes
in law and order He believes in government He
believes in frnness between man and man He
believes in working hard and producing efficiently
III other groups would do as the farmer has done
our economic troubles would soon be over Prices
would soon be adjusted to their normal relation
ships There would soon be work for everybody
at just wages.
..The farmer recognizes his obligation to produce
food, for people must eat to live. He demands
that both the owners Of the coal mines, and the
coal miners recognize their equal obligation to
produce coal and he demands thattthe- manage
ment Of the railroads. and the railroad workmen,
recognize their equal obligation to keep trains
moving, for unless the food he produces is moYea
promptly the people will starve-'
The entire agricultural. industry is based upon
the sentence in Secretary Wa1lace's speech. Work
ing hard and producing efficiently" If every in
dustry based upon this assumption the
wheels would turn without friction 1neficiency
in the coal industry upon the part of those VINO
control 1t is OF the reasons that It Is SICK
industry today, and it is the prime reason that a
committee is going to plan out an administration
of the coal business because those who own 1t Will
not fairly and squarely tackle the problem Hard
work is something labor tries not to recognize
lin its bargainin g. Not how much work for how
much wages, but how little work for how much
wages is the prevailing note in union bargaining
Mr.. Gompers boasts that wages have not lowered
five per cent from peak scale during the war Is
this anything boast about? Is it not rather the
voice of selfish spirit that refuses to recognize
public necessity costs and get living back to
normal condition?
The farmer does set the example The farmer
camours for no five hour day seven hour day.
What there is to do is done, efficiently and faith
fully. Industrial would cease if capital and
labor would operate the same terms
