ace Of radicalisn. In Great Britain
the party that is Conservative by title
gained the benefit Of this concentra-
ton. Here the Republican party has
been the beneficiary.
Yesterday, while the attention Of
this country was centered upon its
own election, Ramsay Macdonald re-
signed the premiership at London,
ana the King summoned Stanley
Baldwin and commissioned him to
form a new government. Thus the
change takes place before the as
sembly of the Parliament elected a
week ago today.
In Great Britain. with its system Of
representative administration. the
new leader is assured from tho out
set of ae,definite substantial parlia.
mentary support. He holds his office,
indeed, by virtue of his majority in
the House of Commons. He loses his
office when that ma jority disa appears.
There is in the British system no pos
sibility Of the executive, as the pre-
mier is, in fact. lacking legislative
Endorsement while he is responsible
for the conduct Of the government.
The restoration Of the Conserva-
tives to power in Great Britain, un-
der the leadership Of Stanley Bald
win. will lead to changes both in per
sonnel and in policies. The organiza-
ton Of the new ministry Will now pro
ceed with the reappearance Of famil-
lar names in the list of cabinet Off
GERS, and perhaps the appearance of
some not so well known in this coun-
try. Premier Baldwin has a wealth of
material at his disposal. In the ranks
Of his party are many men of a high
order Of ability and Of experience,
fully competent to assume administra-
tive duties.

Woodland Fires.

Forest fires are reported from places
far and near. Large and small tracts
of woodland in the East and South
have been set on fire and heavy prop
erty loss has resulted, and until gen.
eral Fall rains set in there will be
increasing loss. The woods are un-
usually inflammable. The forest floor
is covered with new fallen dead leaves
and twigs and brush that are of tin
der dryness. The character of
weather is attracting an unusual
number OF persons to the woods, and
in some parts Of the country hunters
and campers are numerous. Lighted
matches thrown away. hot pipe ashes
knocked out, cigarettes ficled away
and camp fires have been responsible
for the outbreak of fres which have

Warns Against Fraud.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Having been a consist ent reader OF
the Evening Star for at least 80 years
and a resident of the District during
that period, 1 desire to relate the
following, in order that you may in
form your readers, If you so desire. and
bv such service render it difficult for
the ofrense to be repeated: Monday of
this week while engaged at my desk
in the Fendall Building, ! was sud
denly confronted with a caller who
Immediately passed through the wait
ing room over to where l was en-
gagged, and with q broad smile and
extended hand, and being aided with
an extremely frank countenance pro-
ceeded to assure me that l was being
greeted by one I had favored some
years ago, and who had returned with
a heart bubbling over with gratitude.
However. without burdening you with
details it is sufficient to relate that
his story was so real and his clear
blue eye so honest that when a doubt
crept into my mind 1t was dismissed
with a decided rebuke, and my own
resources rallied to the assistance OF
my caller; assurances came thick and
fast, was to receive from my friend
eggs, potatoes and practically every
thing produced on a first-ciass farm,
including a turkey. and all in return
for this former and alleged favor ex-
tended by me years ago. <The climax
was reached when I was further as
sured that my caller was to all ap-
pearances and by his own expression
as pleased to greet me as II he were
in the presence of his own dear
father, who had passed away years
ago. With my defense completely
swept aside and my mood more than
receptive, it was with the case OF
taking candy from a kid that my
caller secured without the least Of
further negotiations a loan from me
in the sum of SIS. He had sought the
sum of $40 which he stated was need
ed to release three crates of turk eys,
one turkey Of which, and the best, Of
course, was to be set aside and de-
livered to me at my home. Oh, boy,
how real it seemed to be! But alas
I am now in a normal state once
moro, my five is gone for good and
Barnum is again sustained. for my
conceit Is thing of the past, and
am ready to subscribe to the doctrine
that: Every man is sucker at some
time in his career.

Congress-.

With the election Of Mr.. Coolidge
assured by the direct vote of the peo-
pie, interest centers upon the com
plexion of Congress as result of yes
terday's ballot. y no,ninally Repub-
lican control of both houses appears
certain, but there remains the ques-
ton of whether that control will be
absolute or modified by the independ-
ent attitude of those who have here
tofore grouped themselves in blocs as
progressives and representatives of
class interests.
Had the election been close, with
the progressives holding the balance
of power in the electoral college, or
even with Coolidge and Dawes chosen
by a bare margin there, the progress
sives who sit on the Republican sides
of the House and Senate would have
had warrant for continuing in the
role of dictators OF legislation and
policies. But yesterday has given
them no such mandate for continued
independence Of action.
The country has gone Republican"
by decisive ma ajority Of the popular
and the electoral votes. Mr.. Cool
idge. it would now seem, has been
given u plurality Of 10000. 900 and an
actual majority Of 6,0o0,0 900 Of the to-
tai votes cast. He should have the
loyal support Of the majorities in the
two houses of Congress in carrying
out the policies adopted by the party
at the Cleveland convention and enun-
ciated by him in the course OF the
campaign.
Yesterdays vote was a rebuke to
the insurgency in Congress which
manifested itself during the past ses-
sion. The closing session OF the pres
ent Congress should respond to it.

claimed his energies before his eleva-
ton to the cabinet, the Dallas
Journal finds she gave proof of his
capacity and character, rejecting
credit upon himself and upon the
administration in which he served"
Secretary Wallace" observes the
Albany knick er booker Press, Served
as a substantial and we'll trusted
bridge between the National Capital
and the man on the farm. He knew
the problems of the farmer in terms
Of rail and water rates. in terms
Of crop prices and seed prices. He
did his work quietly. His admins
tration of the Department of Agri-
culture was fruitful Of resultant
good to the farmers of America"
What the net results will be from
Mr.. Wallace's administration no one
Immediately, can say. the Indiana
polls News thinks. but the outlook
is all in favor Of gain for agri-
culture"
On the side of education alone, the
News says, there can be little ques-
ton that the effective work under
taken when Edwin T. Meredith was
head of the department was carried
forward without Interruption: then
there is the cooperation with the
International Institute Of Agricul-
ture, with a view OF improving on
methods of collecting crop statistics
a movement of great significance to
farmer interests"
The greatest single merit of Mr..
Wallace's official life, the Newark
News suggests was his persistent
opposition to the transfer of the
NO
partment to that of the Interior
which would have been a death blow
to conservation" Citing another ex-
ample Of his honesty, the Dayton
News holds ''it is to his credit that
where Albert 3. Fall as Secretary
of the Interior would have opened
Alaska's natural resources to ex-
ploitation by privileged interests, Mr..
Wallace vigorously fought the policy
and in the end succeeded in persuad-
ing the late President Harding that
tho Fail program was Inherently
wrong. unjust and unfair-this strug-
gle for Alaska gave expression to
Mr.. Wallaces honesty Of purpose and
was an index to his high character

the fact that he had carried into pub

clans are trying to confuse and ex-
ploit Western agriculture" the New
York Herald-Tribune is positive 'Mr.
Wallace's shining merit was that
he was never anything but the farm

and his unselfsh friend"

Of property. Many people in the
country post" their property against
hunting and other trespass, not for
game protection, but for protection Of
their woodland. Fire in the woods
means loss and might easily mean
also the destruction of barns and
dwellings. The thing to do is not to
drop a lighted match or burning to-
bacco among leaves and twigs or to
start camp fire without watching
1t with care and finally extinguishing
it. 1t is necessary to remind city peo-
pie going into the country and to re-
mind country people also that more
caution in the matter of matches,
ashes and camp fires in and near
tracts of woodland means the saving
of a great deal Of property.

Wallace's Work for Agriculture
Praised Extensively i'm Press

From all parts OF the country come
editorial appreciations Of the charac-
ter and work Of Henry C. Wallace,
Secretary of Agriculture, whose death
is deplored as a loss to the farmer
and to the Nation.
In both his private and Official
life," writes the editor of the Sioux
City Journal of the late Secretary's
home State, Mr.. Wallace had been
highly respected, trusted and ad-
mired by those who knew him. AS
the owner and editor of Wallace's
Farmer he had been highly esteemed
in Iowa. Mr.. wallace was an up
standing man, a representative Mid
die Westerner and a thorough Ameri-
can" The agricultural interests lost
capable and courageous champion"
adds the Sioux City Tribune, for "he
kept the faith with agriculture in the
face of constant pressure to make
him swerve from the path Of con-
science and duty"
The Des Moines Tribune particu-
larly regrets that death should have
taken Mr.. Wallace just before rather
than just after the Inauguration of
a new President, because st would
have put the seal of official approval
on his great work in Washington, to
be offered the post again at the hands
of those who differed from him in
some of his plans" but after all this
is something he would have thought
but little of himself, and it matters
not one whit in the estimation of
those who knew him, for the thing
that counts is the tear that unbidden
starts in the eyes of so many people
In so many walks Of life who knew
Mr.. Wallace
= ::
The Lincoln State Journal thinks
President Coolidge will not find it
easy to fill his place to the general
satisfaction Of the farmers, for Sec
retary Wallace was in spirit more the
farmer, perhaps, than any other man
who has held the agricultural port
folio.' The Kansas City Stars says:
He showed his capacity as the effec-
tive champion of farm interests. He
was earnest and never firing in his
efforts. His department was con-
Quoted efficiently. He knew from his
own experience the comparative i'm
portance to the farmers of the vari-
Gus activities of the bureaus under
his direction. He was able to bring
the farm point of view to the cabinet
councils" He had "the courage to
speak his mind, let the opposition to
his counsel be what it might" con-
tlnueS tne mlnuedpOIlS IrlOune.
American agriculture has lost
leader OF the very first ORDER" in the
opinion OF the ST Paul Pioneer
Press, which declares "as Secretary
Of Agriculture he used his influence
to give constant and powerful ex-
preston to the viewpoint of the
farmer. and if a somewhat better and
more sympathetic understanding of
agriculture now prevails at Washing
ton than frequently has in the past,
that Is due in no small measure to the
efforts OF Mr.. Wallace" In this
position as In others which had

Third-Party Failure.

Later analysis Of the votes cast yes
terday will probably permit a clear
understanding of the failure Of the
third-party movement to effect such
a division of Republican votes as to
throw the election into Congress. 1t
could, Of course, have no other effect
even had it been as successful as its
promoters hoped. For the election of
Mr.. La Toilette by popular vote has
never been conceivable possibility.
Nor has il been possible within the
range of reason for him to be elected
through d referendum Of the matter
to Congress. 1t has from the first
been regarded as a party-splitting eff
fort designed to lay the foundation
for a permanent thiry-party organiza-
ton. Yesterdays voting yields no
warrant to expect a definite, enduring
party movement.
Had the Progressives Of 1924 car
ried or 10 Of the Western States,
and thereby deadlocked the electoral
college, they would have had some
claim to recognition as a distinct
party organization. They have, how
ever, failed to effect that result. In
Wisconsin alone have they assuredly
secured electoral votes, and there sole
ly by virtue Of the personality Of Wis
consin's "favorite son." their own
present leader, and. in fact. the pro-
creator Of their party. With this rec
ord they cannot expect to survive as
a distinct political entity.
In fact, there have been no ele-
ments Of party organization in this
insurgent movement. 1t was a gather
sorts and conditions. 1t was an as
semblage OF malcontents, Of ultra
radicals, of moderate radicals, of so
cialists and OF some conservative
progressives disposed to experiment
with a new partisanship in disap-
proval Of the old established parties.
There was no unifying force save that
Of dissatisfaction, which is the worst
possible element for constructive or
ganization.
Toilette candidacy and the Progress
sive movement by organized labor
through the executive council Of the
American Federation Of Labor, the
workingmen Of this country have not
joined the insurgency against the es-
tablished parties. Thus again it is
proved that labor cannot be de
livered" as a unit vote to any interest
or for any candidacy. The American
workingmen remain individually free
exercise that judgment regardless Of
dictation.
Nor have the farmers of the West
supported the third party in the num-
bers expected by its promoters. Re
turns from all the great agricultural
States show that millions have voted,
as they have in the past, as Repub-
licans, drawn back to their old al
legiance by their confidence in Mr..
Coolidge and reassured Of prosperity
by the prevalence Of high prices for
their products. In those States where
they have been experimenting in So
cialism they have, it would seem, re-
verted to conservatism, which is the
natural attitude Of the tiller Of the
soil.
With these two factors lacking as
units, labor and agriculture, the third
party movement has in the language
OF current speech 'flivvered.'' Yester-
days vote may be accepted as proof
that a major political party cannot
be created out Of suspicion, discomfort
and individual personal ambition.

Of an engine as transformer Of en-

British and American Elections.

There was striking similarity be-
tween the electoral results in this
country and in England in the cam
lsligns that have just closed here and
there. In each country there was a
three cornered fight. In each there
has been a pronounced, overwhelming
conservative victory. In England,
however, the newly formed radical
party emerges second in the polling,
whereas here the newly formed radi-
cal party stands third.
In both countries the conservative
forces concentrated against the men.
