A FORMULA FOR DEMOCRATS

Coolidge to Have Much Opposition
from Republicans, reads a recent news
headline. Why speak of such little
things? Why not talk of the opposition
the Republicans are going to have from
the Democrats? This thought is likely
to occur to many Democrats who read
the headline. Doubtless it occurred to.
Texans who heard Senator Royal s.
Copeland's recent speech at the State
Fair. If Senator Copeland is to be re-
garded as a spokesman of his party. in
any measure, then the opposition which
President Coolidge will have from the
Republicans will not be circumstance"
compared with the opposition the Re
publicans will have from the Democrats.
However, Texas Democrats would like
to feel as sure as Senator Copeland
seems to be that the Republican party
is going to be retired in the next election.
1t SIS certain to be retired" he said in
his Dallas speech. because its leaders
are star-gazing when they should be
observing the human needs OF the Ameri-
can people"
The New Yorker made out an inn
pressive case. Particularly impressive,
even to CITY folk. was his brief for the
| farmers. If the American people were
convinced that the Democrats could and
would help the farmer in accordance
with Senator Copeland's formula. doubt
less many who have habitually voted
the Republican ticket would chance their
| politics in the next national election.
The elements of that formula are rep
iecentcd by three "ts"--tariff. taxes and
transportation. Various attempts have
been made. and doubtless more will be
made. to becloud the issues thus de-
fined. But not even prohibition" is
likely to turn the attention of the farm
ers away from their vital interests.
All government officials, irrespective
of political faith. profess to have great
solicitude for the farmers welfare But
the specific proposals that have been
made in his behalf have been. with few
exceptions. based upon the doctrine OF
governmental gratuity. Price-fiXing and
various forms OF class legislation have
been advocated; none of these remedies
could afford more than temporary relief
and even that would be offset by eco
nomic reaction to such artificial aid.
, 1t is gratifying to hear at least ont
senator repudate such measures. Sena

low, was further reduced by the Ford

mier LloydGeorgc said that if nation

not pay its debts outside. Although he
was abiding to the problem of rcpara-
tons, his assertion is applicable to this
country's commercial relations with the

What are the consequences?
an Pennsylvania" said Senator
Copeland, there are 5000 vacant farms.
representing over 100000 acres. In that
single state, ten per cent of the total
agricultural acreage has been abandoned
already by discouraged farmers. In
this country. one out of sixteen farms
was deserted last year, to say nothing
OF the enormous number abandoned last
year."
How to remedy the situation?
"By reform in tariff, in freight rates,
in freight facilities, in market sand mar
keting," said Senator Copeland, and by
placing taxation on constructive rath-
er than a destructive basis. "the Demo-
cratic party will give the assistance
which must be rendered to prevent agri-
culture from collapsing."
Whether the Democrats will adopt
Senator Copeland's formula is ques-
ton that no one member of the party,
singlc-handed, can answer. Nevcrthe-
less, it is gratifying that at least one
member OF the United States Senate has
repudiated the schemes of artificial re-
lief which have had such wide currency
in this country since the farmers got
into trouble.

AN INTERNATIONAL BOND

Scholars who say so little that they
seem to know what they are talking
about are fairly we'll agreed that Shake
speare was alluding to the frailties or
imperfections of man when he wrote:
Zone touch of Nature makes the whole
world kin" But consider this paradoXi-
cal opinion: Many men have in COM
mon one weakness which they could but
i'll afford to do without; a weakness
which is an asset to humanity. That
weakness is represented by a single
word: Dogs.
Peoples of different nations have wide
" dissimilar institutions and customs.
and even sharply divergent processes
of thought. Sometimes they fight over
religious differences. Normally they
disagree in matters of government. Their
respective PHILOSOPHERS of life may be
as far apart as the magnetic poles-and
almost as abstract. One peoples morals
may be abominable to another.
Yet is there a nation. a race or tribe
that has mo use" for dogs?'
The great countries of the earth have
been unable to agree in many matters
regarded as.vital to the future of "civili-
cation" England, France and the Unit
ed States are at a loss for a generally
Satisfactory plan of cooperation in the
interest of peace. But England, France
and the United States have in common
one great weakness" which establishes
their kinship. They are all striving, both
independently and in cooperation. to
preventive for the worst plague known
to dogdom: Distemper.
A circular sent out over this country

this remarkable project. Scientists in thC
three countries mentioned are working
on it. In England, the Medical Research

tute; in the United States, the Rookie.

pressed appreciation of what he has seen
and heard since his arrival
He has obtruded no political opinions
upon his hosts. He has not undertaken
to tell Americans what they or their
government ought to do. He has not
criticised, either directly or infercntiallv.
His closest approach to the role of adj
wiser was made when he let it be known
that he was in a receptive mood for
anything that this country might do to
cooperate with Great Britain in the
name OF peace.
Yet he has made positive and val
liable contribution to American thought.
In one of his speeches he enriched Ameri-
can traditions with words of profound
eloquence. Had he taken his leave of
the United States Immediately after his
address at Springfield. H., the Ameri-
can people might we'll have felt reward
ed for all the courtcsies that have been
accorded him since he came into their
midst.
In that address he paid the tribute of
his respect to Abraham Lincoln. Many
foreign statesmen have done that. But
there was nothing perfunctory about
the little Welshman's words: they were
freighted with meaning such as only a
real thinker can convey. He made no
attempt to analyze the qualities that dis
tinguished the great friend of mankind !;
he sought merely to interpret their eff
feet upon the world, and to express the
conviction that such effect would be-
come broader and deeper as time wears
on.
His knowledge of American history,
his sympathetic understanding of Lin
coins part in it, may be surprising to
MANY people of this country; but, if so,
it will be because they have not realized
how broad is the basis of Mr.. Lloyd
Georges craftsmanship. He has been
called an opportunist:. politically. he is
that But he is also psychologist and
a utilitarian withal. If he were not
known to be Welshman he might ea.
lily be thought a Scotchman. For. while
paying an undoubtedly sincere tribute to
Lincoln as one of the worlds greatest
men. he was not willing to let that ap-
praisal go as mere abstraction.
Observe how swift and deft was his
change of thought from the sheer great
ness of Lincoln to the subject of Europe's
troubles. What was Lincoln's message?
"Clemcncy in the hour of triumph"
France will hear that, and in time she
may heed it. Lincoln is the finest
product in the realm of craftsmanship
of the Christian civilization, and the
wise counsel he gave to his own people
in the day of their triumph he also gives
today to the people of Europe in the
hour OF their victory over the forces that
menace their liberties"
Is there anyone who will question the
propriety OF turning an eloquent tribute
into a practical moral for the possible
benefit of foreign nations?

A TRIBUTE TO LINCOLN

Although David Lloyd-Georgc came
TO America avowedly to learn rather than
10 teach. to see for himself how this
country had "builded its great edifice"
rather than to seek concrete aid for re-
building war-wrecked Europe, when he
returns to England he will have left
behind him rich compensation for all the
helpful knowledge he may have gained
here. SO far as he and America are
concerned. the benefits from his visit will
be mutual; this can be said modestlv IN
behalf of this country. inasmuch as Mr.
Lloyd-George himself has already ex-
