PEOPLES FORUM
\ Ludicrous Situation

To the editor of The Age-Herald:
 Your editorial In today's paper in regard to the "Peewee politics" of the present city commissioners is indeed refreshing. May I not ex- press to you my hearty congratu- lations.
 In all of my experience I have never known of a body of men, to become more unpopular with the class of citizens whom they should endeavor to have as their friends, than the present commits sioners. Not one thing was done to put stop to the numerous ax murders, except the commission did request the storekeepers to close up shop to prevent their be- ing decapitated, but the force of "Chocolate-Soldie cops is in creased ten per cent to enforce an ordinance which is so impractical that it would be ludierous were not for the fact that it is costing the auto owners considerable money, in more ways than one, to sat isfy the whims of our self-nomi- mated Traffic Expert"
 I have wondered for some time why The Age-Herald, which has done so much good in our com munity, did not long ago take is- sue with the commission on some of it's crazy legislation, and I hope this is only the beginning.

As it is, many cotton grower placed his cotton in warehouse, received a percentage of it's market value on de- livery to the warehouse, and then en- joyed the subsequent increase in price, because he thus retained title to the crop until it was finally disposed of.
 The farmer is enjoying prosperity greater than that of last year, and tt looks as if his organized methods of storing and marketing will place his business on stable foundation. In the future, farm products should not be subject to such fluctuations in price as have formerly kept the farmer con- stantly uneasy and uncertain whether the product of his labor should sell at profit or loss. He now has some say concerning the price at which It shall sell, and his ability to exact a price that will pay profit on pro- ducing costs will grow as his organiza- ton becomes perfected and as the ma jority of farmers join up.

THE CREEKS CHANGE AGAIN

Perhaps the Greeks know what kind of government they are living under Certainly no outsider, unless he be a diplomatic expert, would hazard a guess. Ancient Athens was either a republic or democracy. Of that there can be no reasonable doubt. Since then the government has gone through practically all of the possible degrees of government, and is still in state of uncertain experimentation. This should prove that experiments in gov ernment are not conclusive, but the reverse.
 George, the king, or by this writing he may be the former king, was in Yited to ascend the throne when Con- ;tantine was busted. George is very young, so he accepted the position, only now to be abroad by "invita- ,ion,' while the Greek leaders debate whether they shall continue him as king, or whether they shall go back 10 the republic. All of which shows that George has not been king to any great extent. When first invited" to leave, George isesaid to have demurred and to have exclaimed: q shall not leave. If any one dares, let him come here and try to remove me" Evidently some one came, for George left.
 Now there is talk of recalling M.

 A REPORTERS BANALITY

Correspondents have to write so much about the personal activities of the great and near great that if they sometimes falter in originality of ex- pression perhaps they may be par doned. But banality is hardly to be pardoned. For example, press dis patch of few days ago remarked Mrs. Coolidge finished her Christmas shopping several days ago, but just what she bought for John and Calvin. Jr,, IS being kept as much a secret as though the boys were of the Santa Claus age!" Is it then anything un- usual for grownups to keep secret from those to whom they are giving gifts the nature of those gifts until Christ mas morning? Is it only children to whom the carefully tied and berib- boned packages are mystery until the glad morning comes? Is it only children who enjoy surprises and who are kept in the dark until Christmas morning as to the precise nature of their presents? Surely the reporter who wrote that about Mrs. Coolidge keeping her boys gifts a secret from them until Christmas, fell asleep over ms typewriter the next moment.
