l met him again, he was trudging
along,
His knapsack with chickens was
swelling;
He'd stolen those dainties, and
thought it no wrong,
From some absent secessionist's
dwelling.
"What regiments yours, and under
whose flag
Do you fight. said /, touching his
shoulder;
Turning slowly made him stronger
and holder.

Around him and DER him were

And once more I saw him, and knelt
by his side,
His life blood was rapidly flowing

We scraped out a grave, and he
dreamlessly sleeps
On the banks of the Shenandoah

His home and his kindred alike are

His reward in the hands of the

We placed a rough board at the head
of his grave,
And "we left him alone in his

But on it we marked, e'er we turned
from the spot,
The little we knew of his story

SENATORS DEVELOPING A
BACKBONE

The Republican members of the
United States Senate are beginning
to show signs of having backbone.
During the entire Harding admins
tration and prior to the recent cleo
ton, the Republican majority in the
Senate were cuffed and batted around
by a combination of the LaFollette
radicals and the Democrats.
In the recent campaign Senators
LaFollette of Wisconsin, Brookhart
Dakota, all elected as Republicans,
practically read themselves out of the
party when they followed LaFolette
and his third party movement. None
of these men have actually been Re-
publicans.
At conference of the Republican
Senators held last week LaFollette,
Brookhart, Ladd and Fraser were
ditched, which will mean in effect
that when the new Congress is or
ganized after March 4th next these
gentlemen will loose their choice COM
mittee appointments and will have
to take their assignments as members
of the Third party. They will not be
allowed to attend conferences of the
Republican Senators.
Every indication points that the
incoming Congress will be organized
along strict party lines. This is as
it should be. By majority of six
million votes over Mr.. Davis and Mr..
LaFollette, the American people is
sued a mandate to Congress to sup
port President Coolidge and his pol
icies. Several of the Senators were
carried into office on the popular
landslide to Coolidge, and the Amer
lean people expect them to support
his policies. If they do not work out,
the people of the country will repu-
date them in 1928 just as strongly
as they were endorsed on November
4th.

POLITICAL SANITY MAY
RETURN

The editor of the Sank Centre
Herald has never been in favor of
the Primary election law.
When it was first enacted by the
Minnesota Legislature it was claimed
that politics would be purified and
that higher type of citizen would
be elected to public office.
The result has been exactly the
opposite. Men who could not have
been nominated by any party, filed as
candidates and in many instances
were elected because Mr.. Average
Voter was cropping around in the
dark trying to pick out the least cf
evils from a large number of self
seekers, none of whom the public real
ly wanted.
The Primary election law made it
possible for men to file as Repu5li-
cans or Democrats, merely for the
purpose of attracting voters to thei1
standard, and after election was over,
deserving the party who nominated
them. If they were defeated in the
primary they did not hesitate 10 file
as independent candidates by petition.
1t is now apparent that the radical
forces of the state have come to
ton system in Minnesota is a menace
to good government. The last is
sue of the Non-Partisan Leader, St.
Paul, came out editorially against the
law and urged its repeal.
The Minnesota legislator is a
creature of the Primary act, and he
will not vote to legislate himself out
of office.
This legislative district is repre-
sented by man whom the Herald
doubts very much could be nominated
in convention of any party in this
district.
Anyone familiar with the politics
of Minnesota in the last 80 years mist
admit that the personnel and ability
of the Minnesota legislature, by and
large, began to deteriorate with the
enactment of the Primary election
system. The country needs two strong
dominant political parties and if the
party in power does not give good
account of its stewardship il should
be relegated to the junk, heap Can.
didates for the Minnesota legislature
should be compelled to file as repre-
sentatives of a political party.
The old caucus system was severely
condemned by the reformers bur the
trouble laid with Mr.. Self-satisfed
citizen who would not take enough
interest in public affairs to participate
in the caucus and help nominate a
candidate for office.
The Primary election law has made
it absolutely impossible for a poor
man to run for state office because
of the expense.
Under Minnesota's Corrupt Prac-
tice Act candidate for the Legisla-
ture is only allowed to spend very
limited amount of money for his
election. If he has a hard pre-pri-
mary fight followed with hard pre-
election contest, in the very nature of
things many Of his expenditures are
forgotten in making up his report to
the County Auditor.
The Herald editor does not believe
the incoming Minnesota Legislature
will materially change the states
present election system but in the
course Of few years political sanity
may again return.

Wickenburg is not a perfect town,
but we do hate to go to Phoenix and
hear people in high places class it
as a zone Man Town" The only
reason we can give for this is the
fact that we are not careful enough
to make a town where all citizens
obey the law and where a woman can
walk the streets without noting that
the men she passes respect woman
hood. We have library, churches,
water, lights, etc., but we do have
bum streets, and law enforcement is
lax. We must acknowledge that we
do have to lock our chicken coop
doors and keep an eye out for boot
leggers, who are not caring whether
this is a town fit to raise children in
or not. We are also lax in those
ambitions which sometimes bawl out
the politicians who don't care as much
for making our town play ground
for children, as they do to exploit
those who come here to live. When
we learn to stand up for law and de-
corum we wont lack population or
courteous conduct.

THE COUNTY PAYS A DEBT

Agreement by the city and county whereby
the latter will pay to the former its proper
ton of the ten-cent road tax, for several
years overdue, will be beneficial TO both. I'm
der this settlement the city will receive
$3.50, 900, and will allow the county about
$50, 900 for road work done within the city
limits. Thus the injunction tying up county
revenues until this account is settled is dis
missed, and the county may proceed with
necessary public projects. At the same time
the city will receive an overdue sum which
had already been figured in its annual
budget.
The city's claim was just and legal. and
was supported by court rulings. That made
the refusal of the board of revenue to settle
Il without injunction proceedings, inexcusable
and a mistaken business policy. The board
ecntended that it did not pay the debt he
cause it did not have the money, while
spending considerable amounts on other
projects. Injunction proceedings sometimes
enable administrators of public affairs to see
their obligations more clearly.

EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY

Evidences of progress and prosperity are
continuously manifest from reports OF INDUS
trial developments received every few days
from many parts of the state. Many new en-
terprises are included in these reports, while
engagements and improvements are too nu-
merous for more than partial mention to
show the variety OF projects and the general
trend of expansion.
The Age Herald feels a pride in the many
indications of progress, and from time TO
time refers to them in its news and editorial
columns, not only as a matter of information,
but because of their influence in creating and
fostering an optimism commensurate with the
record of achievement and the opportunities
for further development along extensive and
varied lines.
Some of the many indications of industrial
and civic advancement recently reported are
thus given: Large additions being made
to the Central Iron mad Coal Company S
plant near Tuscaloosa which will give EN-
ployment to four hundred additional men.

Some Radio Problems

Secretary Hoover told the house committee
on merchant marine the other day that, in
spite of the rapid progress made by the
radio industry within the last few years,
We are probably only at the threshold of
the development of one of the most important
human discoveries" But, despite the strides
already made and the bright prospect for the
future, the radio situation is in some re-
spectS far from satisfactory to those who are
promoting it with their capital. They have
all the major problems of full-grown money
making industry with but few of the compen-
satng advantages.
Admitting that radio industry is assured
there Is vet no assurance as to the field 1t
will ultimately occupy. A decade ago the
radio was employed almost exclusively as
Geographic means of communication, partlcu-
larry with ships. There were no broadcasting
stations in the United States, and the place
which radio has now taken as an agency of
amusement and education had scarcely been
dreamed Of. Producers of equipment frankly
admit that they can not yet be certain that
the present interest in radio for these pnr-
poses will be sustained or that still other
and perhaps more important fields of en-
ployment will not presently develop demand
ing apparatus of different type and conse-
quently new investments, with probably
heavy losses of capital sunk i'll the develop
ment of those branches of the industry which
now commanded wide attention.
But the uncertainty of the future is not
the only problem. The difficulties of the
present are real enough and in many respects
as serious as those confronted by we'll estab-
lishPd projects with years of experience be-
hind them and good SURPRISES to fall back
upon. There is. for instance, the problem of
labor, the labor of broadcasting. The indus
try is wholly dependent upon the broadcast
ers, who, by refusing to go to work, could tie
up every receiving set in the country. On
the capital side is the problem of monopoly.
and that of the exclusive right of the inven-
tor to the product of his labor and his dis
covery under our patent laws, whereas from
the public point of view radio communication
is already regarded as a matter of quasi pub
lie concern in which interruption of Service
and the exaction of monopoly charges ought
not be permitted.
Until the future of the industry is better
understood and it's field of service more clear
ly defined the promoters of the industry the
manufacturers of the apparatus, will do the
worrying. The audience estimated now at
close to 100000 and constantly increas-
ing. will continue to tune in and hope for the
best.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Il Miniature World
!, ocean liner 4. 4 miniature world.
b. DIR. FkAxK CRANE

An ocean liner is miniature world.
Here are number 81 people, coming from
tout of the nowhere into the here" thrown
together week or so and then scattered,
never to see each other again. 1t is an imate
of your life and mine,
We are all human beings, but we act Ls
il we were creatures of different clay. The
first-class passengers from the height Of the
promenade deck look down upon the steerage
rs they might look upon so many animals.
The steerage people look up at them across
oceans of social space. You cannot help
wondering how soon they would all get ac-
quainted If there should be shipwreck; and
what "a reversal Of social standing there
would be if. all were cast upon a desert
island for as like as not some man down
there on the greasy lower deck is the Admiral
Crichton with the brain to rule.
Then the sailors slip by and never speak
to the passengers. Perhaps they are for
hidden But wonder what they think, what
their lives are, as they doubtless wonder
shout me. They go about endlessly polishing
brasses and scrubbing decks and painting
woodwork.
Down in the bowels of the ship are people
at work in the dark. Stokers are shoveiing
coal. They can only stand it for an hour
or so; they must frequently rest and come
to the fresh air to breathe. They are half
naked, covered with sweat and coal dust.
Then there are cooks and scullions and in
Vulnerable stewards all at work attending
to the comfort of the passengers, because the
passengers have money. Why? Because
they brought money on board with them.
There again is your world. Children born
into 1t to be waited upon, others born to
serve them, mostly controlled by conditions
that happen before they came aboard.
Some Of the passengers are sociable. 9th
ers are exclusive. A man and his wife have
the stateroom de luxe, which costs an enor-
nous price; they take their meals in their
room, they sit quite isolated on the deck when
they take the air. they, have spoken to no

like that?
Our little world, swinging in space, goes
on; we make friends. find lovers, develop
hates In little while it all dissolves; we

oTHE GRADE.CRossING DECISION

BY preparing legal action TO require the
railroads to provide needful protection against
the Embarrassing menace, as determined by
the city commission, it is probable that prog
ress will be made towards consummation of
this important public project. 1t is hoped
that the course will entail less delay. than
through continuation of the conference and
socalled 'amicable negotiations method.
The official body is to be commended for
adopting a definite plan of procedure.
For many years-indeed, more than a gen
eration-the railroads have pursued policy
of delay. The need for protection to life and
limb and for removal of serious obstacle
TO business progress, with its attendant
heavy costs to community interests, has
steadily increased until the situation is we'll
nigh intolerable. The railroads realize that
they must provide the proper protection to
the community, even though they ignore the
enhancement of their own economic interests
through this project. The city is fortified
BY every consideration of equity, as well
BY moral right.
Whether this problem should be solved
through viaducts, underpasses, or both, is
matter of engineering principles. Apparently
the weight of disinterested engineering opin-
ion is on the side of underpasses. 1t is plain
tnAJ adequate pFOIeCIlOH LuusJ DC pFoNlueu
without further unnecessary delay. The city
commissions decision to require action by
the railroads through ordinance is therefore,
practical, because, whatever delay this may
cause, it is certain that it will not be drawn
out for generation, as has been the confer
ence and "amicable negotiations" policy.
Resolute action by the city is sure to lead
to some practical relief within a short period.
1t is believed that the city will accomplish
something through its mandatory policy, if it
be resolutely and vigorously pursued. What
ever plan is finally adopted should eliminate
the Twentieth street crossing. and should
open Nineteenth street for traffic. These are
two of the most pressing needs of the whole
project.
"A patient and long-suffering public will
watch the proceedings with keen interest. be-
cause the safety and material interests of
the community are directly concerned. Mean
time, let the city authorities perfect definite
plan of action and follow it in performance
Of their public duty.
