IN PROCESS OF TIME

Any hope which the Democratic
party may entertain of succeeding to
control of the government has for
its chief foundati ons the attitude of
the South in support of the Demo-
cratic party. And yet that same
South, in part at least, recognizes
the value of the protective tariff
policies favored by the Republicans
and condemned by the Democrats.
There are in the South considerable
areas where the boil weevil has so in
terfered with the growing of cotton
that a substitute crop is essential to
the prosperity of the land owners.
Referring to this in a recent book q
prominent Democrat, Mr.. W. j. Spill
man. has this to say:
I'VE used 160,000,0OO pounds of
peanut oil In 1919 of which about
half was imported. Production OF
this oil has increased greatly in re-
cent years and there is every reason
why we should produce our rotal
supply If foreign competition were
not so severe. Were 1t not for COM
in China, in the production of peanut
oil the peanut crop would in fact be
one of the most promising money
crops for those sections of the South
in which the cotton boil weevil has
rendered cotton growing impracti-
cable. Peanut oil may be used for
any purpose that cotton seed oil or
cocoanut oil may be used. We now
import 500, 100000 pounds of cocoanut
oil and there is no reason apparent
except cost of production why We
should not produce enough peanut
oil to replace this enormous quantity
of oil that is not in any way superior
to It. This same region could also
produce some of the soy bean oil
we now import. These two oils are
amongst the very few commercial
crop products possible to the region
from which the boil weevil is driv-
ing the cotton crop"
In process Of time it may occur to
some of those southern Democrats
that opposing the Republican tariff
policies is not consistent with their
welfare

after a while, to his bunny nephew.
So they turned down a shady road
until they came to cute little house
near a big tall tree.

drop any cocoanut crumbs on the
floor, you see. and the monkey
showed them upstairs and downstairs
and even the cellar where he kept
nice big water melons.

PUNY POLITICS AND
HODGE.PODGE SONGS
GRID IRON FEATURES

Washington, prl 2s.--For enter
tainment at its spring dinner to-
night, the Gridiron Club of Wash
ington newspaper correspondents
held a national political convention
with music. 1t was replete with q
hodge podge. of song and satire in
which no political party was spared
The Republican nomination was
accorded to President Coolidge, but
the Democratic standard bearer
proved to be the most famous dark :
horse in history-"The Man in the
Iron Mask" The Gridiron singers
sang the keynote of the dinner to
the tune of sixty Seconds Ev'ry
Minute:

portrait time can't spoil,
"One that smiles upon us all.

A rafting chorus brought out,
among other things, the snappy
lines:
"Uncle's never in a jam-don't get
Che blues, don't give dam:
THE country's safe-Three cheers
for Uncle Sam"
Robert L. Norton. of the Boston
Post, was initiated as a new member
of the Club, and William E. Brigham,
Washington correspondent of the
Boston Evening Transcript, was in
augurated president of the club.
The club had little difficulty in
picking the Republican presidential
nominee. The problem of the Demo-
cratic convention however, was
much more perplexing. From his
place an inquisitior-g general was
called to issue subpoenas for a
number of distinguished person.

AS soon as the disagreeable ram
was hit on the nose by the lollypop,
he stuck it in his mouth just like a
pipe and began to wink at Uncle
Lucky. AT once the old gentleman
abbit began TO laugh forgetting all
about the broken lamp which Mr..
Ram had knocked off the Luckymo-
bile in the last story. Just then a
tinker came by with a basket full OF
tinware.

CONSUMERS ONLY RECOURSE

The consumers of coal who wish
to take advantage of the slightly
lower price in the spring may find
It difficult to get the coal. At least
it is said on what appears to be
good authority that sometimes the
retailer finds the wholesaler in no
hurry to hasten the shipments dur
ing the season when the price is a
little lower but that, as soon as the
price rises again, there will be coal
in plenty. In other words a few
concerns control the fuel We insist
on burning down here in New Eng
land.
An editorial in the Railway Age
calls attention to the abnormal
decline" in shipments from the
mines and declares that IF the
present low rate of production con-
tinues for some time there will be
later an abnormal increase of pro-
duction and in demands upon the
railways for transportation" This
would cause congestion and incon-
venience to all concerned except the
producers of the coal, who would be
getting higher price for 1t later in
the season. The slackness in pro-
duction is in bitumipous as we'll as
anthracite mines.
Wonder il Governor Pinchot of
Pennsylvania, now that he isn't
obliged TO so to Cleveland and look
after Coolidge's interests. can find
time to suggest how production of
anthracite at this time may be in
creased and the public better served.
Or would he conclude Mr.. MELONS
or some other department OF the
Federal Government ought to take
the matter up. OF course all this
could not be done until the season
would be so far advanced no ad-
vantage could be had from II, even
if chance for one could be found.
In short the owners Of anthracite
can do with it just about what they

the good sense in reducing arma-
ment. We not only were capable of
distancing competitors in such a
dreaded contest but we did not per-
nit that fact to initiate our greed and
arrogance. We put the cards on the
conference table face up and went
the limit in meeting the others half
way. in some instances as in the case
of Japan more than half way. 1t
would seem that here was reconcilia-
ton of the two policies which Mr..
Libby tells us Cannot be reconciled."
