Campaigns Too Long.

Henry F'ords suggestion, concern
ing the disturbance of business by the
Presidential campaign, that a majority
of the voters should make up their
minds now against a change in the
presidential Office and then proceed to
business as usual, while applicable to
a specific proposition, raises the ques-
are not too long.
Take the case as it is now: the
presidential campaign may be said to
begin practically in December, when
the republicans call their national
nominating convention, and for the
democrats in January, when they call
theirs. That is to say, the public's at
tention is distracted by talk of candi-
dates and rivalries for the presidential
nomination. In January, February
and March state conventions or pri-
maries are held for the selection of
delegates to the convention which will
nominate candidates for the presi-
dency.
BY the middle of June, or not later
than July 4, the nominations are
made and the actual campaign for
the election of the national ticket is
under way. For more than four
months the country is harassed by
the campaigners: the atmosphere
reeks with politics; one can hardly
lhear ones self think" for the shouts

at the time when the farmers are
making their crops, building up the
wealth Of the nation.
Aforetime, a six-month campaign
| was none too long, on account Of the
difficulty of communication among the
states. Roads were bad. Newspaper
were limited in number. The record
of congressional proceedings took a
long time going the rounds OF the
neighborhood. Telegraphic communi-
cation was limited. Now there are the
fast trains carrying the mails. and the
telegraph and telephone supplanting
the mails. Wonders are expected of
the radio in the coming campaign,
from the sample efforts already ex-
! hibited.
Suppose one Of the regular parties

Stuck in the Mud.

When a ship like the Leviathan
rams her nose into the mud Of a chan
mel bank there is something doing.
ess of the seas was entering New York
harbor. A heavy fog prevailed, and
somehow the big craft got turned a
little bit too far to the left-beg par
don, captain, to portland she ploWed
into the shoals of Robins Reef off
Staten Island and wedged herself 80
tightly that she could not back off
with her own power. Summons for
help brought tugs, twenty of them
finally, and they hitched their lines to
her and snorted and pulled and
chugged and strained, but without eff:
feet for seven hours. Then it was the
rising tide that finally got the great
ship free, lifting her hull from the
clinging channel bank. Meanwhile
many Of her passengers had been
taken off and sent up the bay.
Nobody knows what this little touch

mine her injuries. 1t is intinated that
she may be laid up for four months.
But she was going to dock anyway
for the customary midwinter repairs,
so the misadventure Of yesterday may
not prove particularly disastrous or
costly. Meanwhile, there will, of
course, be inquiries into why she ran
aground. There is already some con-
troversy. The pilot says that the out
going tides swung her stern to star
board-yes, that is right, starboard--
and that pushed her nose out Of chan
mel, and her momentum, even at slow
speed, was such as to ram her into
the silt before she could be straight
ened. Be that as it may, there is rea-
son to be grateful that this was not q
serious mishap and that nobody was
hurt.

tend ed.
Washington has b ad it's eyes open
for trade and manufactures ever since
it WIS established. When the city
came into being the trade of the
Potomac valley and a large section to
the west was done through George
town and Alexandria, and they held
their trade against competition of the
new city. Georgetown has become q
part of Washington, and Alexandria
is virtually part of the Capital.
Washington grows fast in population
and manufactures suitable to our
situation have prospered until their
aggregate as shown by census reports
is surprising, or should be surprising

only business done here is govern
ment business or that which is done
to supply the wants of government
workers.

Even nature Is confused. According
to the dispatches yesterday a pansy

Mount Vernon, also in New York
state, the yard OF the mayor produced
blooming roses. At Sandisfield. Mass,
farmers dog killed a woodchuck
that had been lured from it's lair by
the balmy sunshine. At Tifffn, Ohio,
dandelions poked their heads through
the turf. At Geneva, n. Y, the tenn

the windows of a hall where a dane

ton. At Stratford, Ontario, ripe straw
berries were picked.
What does it all meanc Meteor ologi-

phenomena of topsy.turvy nature have
put the wiseacres into a quandary.
There is much shaking of heads. and
there are mysterious hints Of terrible
things to come before the real spring
arrives.
December in this part of the world

a part of the autumn. The true winter
In Washington comes in January and
February, with an occasional hang
over in March. Sometimes the old
scandal about lingering in the lap of
spring is protracted until April. The
middle Of that month last year was
marked by one of the most disagree
able snow and sleet storms Of the
year. Straw-hatted tourists coming
home from the south were embarrassed
on reaching Washington to find them
selves out of tune with the elements.

The present low marble covering of
the grave touches the reverent and
thoughtful man. 1t is in the midst of
acres of graves, tombstones, monu-
ments and mausoheums. There are no
memorials of greater eloquence than
this. When a man comes to this place
he has passed q mile of tembs, and
there is often 4 sense Of disappoint.
ment or of melancholy that there is
not more grandeur in the tomb of the
unknown. Around it is a wooden
picket fence, and explanation OF this
often diverts thoughts of pilgrims
from the significance of the place. The
paling fence was put there to protect
the tomb against what many men con-
sidered irreverence. Perhaps no man
ever committed an act of Intentional
irreverence there. II there was ir-
/, reverence II was unconscious or the
irreverence of ignorance. A tired or
footsore pilgrim might sit on the
tomb. Another weary pilgrim worn
by sightseeing" would rest a foot on
the tomb. 1t has been said that a
thoughtless, careless man might strike
a match on it.
A shaft or other form of memorial,
majestic and splendid. showing plainly
that it marks a grave. would probably
hush conversation, compel men to
stand uncovered and make them re-
fleet on the meaning of this grave. II
has been proposed at various times
that a military guard be mounted at
the tomb. and with an Army post
few hundred yards away this could
be done.

by which the tendency TO great and

American progressive republican,,
insists the question is, after all, tax
reduction or the bonus" and IF the
latter then there can be none Of the
former.
The Salt Lake Deseret News Grde-
pendent), agrees that regardless OF
President Coolidge's attitude on the
bonus question. to many members OF
Congress il presents perpleSing
situation" and the News holds many
people see in the demand for tbs
bonus and other vast governmental
expenditures an attack upon the bu-
reau of the budget, which was estab-
lished in 1921 and which has been the
strongest check upon the eHpendl-
lures of the government. The REM
edy for the burden of excessive tax
alton, like the remedy for all other
governmental evils. rests with the
American people IL we want lower
national and local taxes we can have
them provided we are willing to pay
the price of g. more rigid economy."
Agreeing that the Presidents frank
statement indicates he will veto any
bonus bill. the Syracuse Herald (in-
dependent) says "a middle ground Tor
both q bonus and a reduction OF taxes
has been suggested. but aside from
Mr.. McAdoo's rather sketchy sugges

In his budget message, the Chicago

The people are entitled to share In

The model, to judge from the pub
