A REAL REMEDY FOR WHEAT

Occasionally those who suggest plans for the betterment of economic conditions among farmers strike upon a plan of real value. Such plan Is advocated by Congressman Sidney Anderson, head of the national wheat council. It has long been known that, while the American farmer produces more wheat per man than his Eu- ropean competitor, the European pro- duces far more wheat to the acre. In the long run it is probable that it is more profitable to raise more wheat to the acre than more bushels per man. Certainly an increase in yield per acre is bound to reduce the overhead cost of production. That principle applies to cotton as well as to wheat, and to corn as well as to sweet potatoes.
 Says Vice President Harrison Fuller of the council: "With present market prices, the farmer who raises only seven or eight bushels of wheat per acre, at a cost of from sixteen co twenty dollars, is absolutely on the road to ruin. And there are hundreds of farmers in the spring wheat belt who did that very thing. That is the real cause for the present cry of dis tress. But the farmer who fer'tilized his fields, selected good seed, properly treated it, and followed in general the principles of better farming methods, obtaining a yield of between sixtee

cess of reforming the currency would be nullified by continued donations to food funds. This predicates policy of currency reform, a policy that has escaped notice as far as recognizable results are concerned. Reforming the currency of Germany is gigantic task. Perhaps is can be done; perhaps not. Some definite reform measure must be undertaken, however, sooner or later. If the Stresemann regime has the courage to attempt it, doubt less there will be few to contest with it the right to go ahead.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS
 MEN
nh. Mother of John Drew

T,ouisa Lane was born in Lon don. England. From the days or her earliest childhood she had viyacity and charm that every one noticed. She had a way or mimicking that was perfection It. se1f and a smile that won every one's heart. Then, too, she had love of romance that was char acteristic. She was only sixteen when she married man who was a singer. The bright, active English girl had hoped to flnd happiness, but she did not find It. Separation ended her days of TO- nance. After a time she married again. taking for her husband young Irish. doctor, George MOS sop.
 Now death stepped in and took the man to whose fortunes she had joined her own. Just when It seemed that fate denied her the home of affections she met John Drev. an actor who had won pop uIar applause, and who was rap idly rising in favor and in for tune. Three years after thelr marriage her husband became the manager of the Arch Street Thea tre in Philadelphia. ! Twelve years of pride in achievement passed, and then John Drew died. He had made himself favorite in the United States and even in Australia. Now the ability of the woman showed itself. She her. self took charge of the Arch Street Theatre and conducted 1t. She had. been only a child when she had come to America, only child when she went on the stage and yet, like John Drew( her hus- band, she had won great popular favor. She brought up her son, named in honor of his distin- guished father, in all the tradi- tions of the stage. She gave him the pride in fine acting, and aspi- ration to do notable work, that carried him to position even more notable than that reached by his father; for John Drew, her son. Is today the prince of come dians.

.wouLp KILL AN ELEPHANT"

ass One factor in connection with re- cent liquor seizures on the Gulf coast is of significance. Although some of the beverage taken was of Thigh" qual- ity, there was more that, to use the words of the famous Isadore Einstein, "would kill an elephant" Says this authority: "The poison that is sold here as booze is the most criminal thing I have witnessed" The danger lies in the fact that the average pur- chaser is unable to distinguish the one from the other until it is too late. The word of the bootlegger, of course, is not to be trusted. Anybody that would sell deadly drink to one per son would lie to another to induce him to pay a higher price for the same .article on the ground that it was first class stuff. Observance of the prohi- bition statutes is TO longer merely 3 matter of respect for law. It is a matter of life and death. The very drink man offers his fellow in Friendship may be an active poison. Of course, some will keep on drink- ing it regardless. But nobody can any longer do it without knowledge of tfie risk he takes.

BIG OPPORTUNITY
 FOR THE SOUTH
(Atlanta Constitution)

C. H MarlhamJ president of the Illinois Central Railroad and an authority on economic affairs and outlooks, wrote the following terse but significant statement for the last issue of the Manufac- turers' Record:
 "In my opinion the South is standing on the threshold of a tremendous industrial and eco- homie renaissance. She is about to enter into a long, deferred her. itage of progress and prosperity"
 In this day of murders, sensa- tions, horrors, political intrigues and social tragedies, with which the news columns of newspapers are unhappily surfeited, it is re- freshing to see such bright light flash across the sky, for the au- thor speaks not as a seer, but as one of the most conservative call culatihg busfness executives in America.
 ! Commenting on the positiveness land the forceful brevity of the statement the Record says:
 Tn as intimate touch as he is with the West and with the South, knowing both sections thoroughly, he is in position to judge intelli- gently as to the future of the South. What he predicts of this section is in harmony with the prediction of every intelligent man who makes close study of what the South is doing and the foun- dation on which it is building. Its progress and prosperity are coming on apace. The South is to be the heir of all the ages in material development, and what it has accomplished during the last twenty or thirty years is merely indicative of the greater things which are ahead of It."
 It is equally as refreshing to see and read the viewpoint of the ed- itor of the Record, for no publica- tion In America is in closer touch with business and industrial con- ditions in lhe country, and is thus in better position to make and draw the comparisons.
 There is a great deal in sug- gestion-in the force of concen- trated public thought.
 If the newspapers of the South will devote more space to record ing the prosperity of some farmer who has made real money on his operations this year, and less to the Impressions of some other far mer who has been thriftless, or who disregarded the laws of agri- cultural reconstruction, there will be a strengthened morale among all the people.
 More publicity to economic and moral progress and less to crime and to petty politics-more to construction and less to destruc- tion-will have a wholesome effect upon the tide of opportunity.

TRAFFIC SUGGESTIONS

The traffic suggestions offered the gAr;tv commission by the committee or
 the Junior Chamber of Commerce are
 belpful. There may be some room 1or difference of opinion with respect to
 the requirement. that vehicles shall pc
 parked with right wheels within SIX instead of twelve inches from the curb. In parallel parking there must be more or less maneuvering ot cars { to get them in proper posltion' ana : the margin of six inches appears un- necessarily narrow. An expert driver would find the latter enough, but all are not expert drivers. The sugges- ] tion that Highland avenue be desig- mated as boulevard, at which cross ! town cars shall come to full stop, IS de- /, signed to prevent accidents by cars rushing in from cross streets in the effort to take the hills on high. To : take lem on high is a noble ambition, to be sure, but human life IS ot even
 more consequence.
 The proposal that there shall be no parking signs except those authorized by the city is wise, and should be sup plemented by the provision that sueh signs shall be official and uniform in style. color and wording, so that the ! eve of the motorist will become trained to perceive them and their slgnltl- i canoe at a glance. No parking m :, front of hotels and public buildings
 will give the public the freest access
 to these places. The purpose of the
 traffic rules is the convenience and
 safety of the public. That fact in
 mind, the formulation of the regula-
 tions should proceed smoothly. The
 test of actual application of the rules
 will prove their strength and bring
 out their faults. An alert depart
 ment will see to it that the faults are
 corrected promptly. In this way
 there will be secured that public CO.,
 operation without which no sort of
 regulation will succeed.

and twenty bushels to the acre. marked down. profit on wheat in his books. Today that farmer is not com blaming. On the other hand, the far mer who has raisel poor wheat, or wheat that grades low, not only im- pairs his own earning power by the floodingQ of the markets with low-grade wheat, but he is causing all the trouble for all the wheat farmers" Substi- tute the word cotton for wheat and the argument applies equally well to the cotton industry.
 There is a real solution of the prob lem of farm financing and farm profits. It does not consist in reachz ing into the public treasury to reim- purse the farmer for losses sustained through poor methods of agriculture. It lies in such improvement of methods as will lower his per unit cost, increase his per acre yields and grade his product according to well-defined clas- sifications, later placing it on the mar ket comparatively and at figure based on the cost of production plus suitable profit. The Magnus John sons of public life are the worst ene- mics of the very group they claim D represent, for they raise illusions inn possible of realization and pave the way to bitter disappointment.

POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS By Frederick Houk Law
John Hughes
By Frederick Houk ]

Tn the Civil War 1t was exceed ingly necessary for the United States to maintain friendly rela- tions with the people of Europe. To bring this about various men were sent abroad, as Benjamin Franklin was sent to France at the time of the revolution. Henry Ward Beecher spoke with great effect in England. A man who did especial service in France, and incidentally in Italy and in Ireland, in 1861, was John Hughes, the first archbishop of New York. With rare personal power and great good nature John Hughes, who had come to the United States as a poor immigrant, spoke for the land of his adoption.
 Its poor I am," he had said as a boy in Ireland, "but even a poor man can have learnin. John Hughes procured every book he could and studied in the hours when his fellow workers were idly talking and resting. He heard many people talk of the success of men who had gone to America, and he resolved to go to that land where, they said, one could find every opportunity. John Hughes was a raw, uncouth boy of twenty when he stood dn the steamship and came into the great harbor of the new land. It was the year 1916, and there was work enough then for any man who was willing to work and work hard. The country was to be developed, cities were to be made, and great causes were to be debated. John Hughes had strong arms and a ready tongue. He found work as a com mon laborer and used his muscles to advantage. At the same time he kept up q lively fire of talk and debate. Then. at twenty three, he went to college and studied for the priesthood. He rose rapidly in the church and be- came not only bishop, but also the first archbishop of New York. He founded colleges and orphan asylums and did much good work. He became a great orator and spoke on public questions.
 His energy, his unusual power of speech, his burning patriotism, made him the man to send to France to~ speak for thea United States in her moment of need.

BASIC PRINCIPLES
 HOLDING LIBERTY
(Franklin H. Geddingy in the In

(Franklin H. Geddings in the In- dependent)
 If liberalism is to revive Amer ica and elsewhere there must be a rehabilitation of popular think ing about liberty. In the course of our experimenting with the pos- abilities of democratic paternal- ism and the transfer of able bodied men from productive indus try to the public pay roll, ideas have become muddled. It is desir- able that we should have discus sion of principles and politics. By way of presenting a few definite propositions for consideration I offer the following statement of certain basic principles of liberty:
 l. In republics and democracies laws should be proposed, urged and voted for only by citizens who honorably expect to obey them.
 2. In republics and democracies laws can be enforced against the disobedient only by majorities that are themselves law-abiding.
 3. In republics and democracies the vital moral interests of man. kind are best safeguarded and furthered If, in the main and as fas as possible. they are con- trolled and regulated by private conscience and public opinion rather than by legislative bodies and administrative agents
 4. In republics and democracies law and government are created and must be sustained by the ini- tiative and responsibility of indi- vidual citizens, and these cannot exist apart from individual lib- erty.
 5. In republics and democracies. therefore, individual liberty should be curtailed only As far as pub He safety and public order clearly, and beyond reasonable doubt, re- quire.
 The last of these propositions Is the acid test of liberalism Mil Hons of excellent men and women believe that the liberty of an in- dividual who has not been guilty of harmful negligence, or of any trespass. or of violence, may ex- pediently be curtailed in his own interest, or to promote one or an other good cause. These people may be our best minds, but they are not liberals. They are author ftarians, paternalists or socialists, and should not object to being so described.

THE WASTE OF WORDS

An observant and well-balanced Georgia editor complains of the ava lanche of useless words employed by the average amateur contributor to the editors column, and remarks that there seems to be an idea that the more and bigger the words the bet ter the writing. This is a common error of inexperienced writers. They overlook the real purpose of language. It is not for parade, but means of communication. The man who causes two blades of grass to grow where one grew before contributes no more to the good of the human race. than does he who makes one word do where two or more were used before. There is no greater waste in the world than that of words. Macaulay, who was generally regarded as master of the use of words, held that whole para graphs were frequestly weakened by ing one or more useless words. One reason why the average political cam paign speaker is losing his hold on the public is that he overloads his ad- dresses with volume of big and use- less words and meaningless stock phrases.
 "It is not proof of wisdom when one must clothe his thought in many sylla- bles," says the editor referred to, "when sentences must be long and winding and dark, when uncommon words must be used. It is, rather, evil dence of force in expressing thoughts worth while when they can be set forth in short, crisp, easy words. As rule the use of short words is more effective when such use is not strained, and when it is not brought down to such forms as to lose weight and dig nity which the subject may call for" The young writer might do well to bear in mind that the most momentous sentences ever written were short, to the point and full of meat.
 The experience of one of America's greatest thinkers and pulpit orators, the late Reverend John A. Broaddus, illustrates the point aptly. He was on a vacation in the country, and had determined not to make a public ad- dress. The people of that section finally persuaded him to preach at a back-woods church. Folks eager to hear the great preacher came from miles around. When the service was over, an illiterate old woman thus ex- pressed her disappointment at the ser mon: I ben a hearin' of the great Dr. Broaddus for nigh on to forty years, and I had a hankerin' to hear him preach. druv nine miles in my cart to listen to him, and, bless your soul, he never said a word I couldn't understan' just as plain as day." Tell ing the incident, Dr. Broaddus said that he regarded it as the greatest compliment ever paid him. "A man of understanding seeks to make him. self understood.
