THE ART OF GOVERNMENT
BV DR.. Frank Crane
GkTN HE art Of arts is the art of govern
ment," runs an old saying.


GkTN HE art Of arts is the art of govern
ment," runs an old saying.
For several thousand years this art
has been followed. Progress in it has been
small.
The king Of England knows not much more
about it than the king Of Nineveh knew.
The superiority Of the king of England
consists, not in his better knowledge of gov
erning but in the fact that he does not gov
ern people at all, but lets them govern them
selves.
The truth that is emerging, after centuries
of experiment. is that there is no such thing
as "the art Of governing"
Not the Wisest in the world not the
BEST strongest and noblest man, is competent
to govern the people. The responsibility Of
rule can justly rest only upon the shoulders
OF the people themselves. No man was ever
created who is fit to be trusted with that
burden.
The governing class idea is also fiction.
Thinkers Of yesterday We're fond of saying
that the best element ought to govern the
populace. Thinkers Of today haye discovered
that this will not work. No class, just as no
individual, is worthy to be tntrusted with
rule
There is only one body qualified to rule
and that is the entire body po1itic.~
TO be sure, every quack and pettifogger
prates of his love for 'the pepul." Every
criminal trust and every venal politician
boasts Of its and his subserviency to the
dear people. But don't let that deceive
you. They wouldn't all lay claim to a
thing that is not good in itself
The fact is that the people, the whole
people, are wiser than any one man or class
have more common sense, more courage, more
prudence, and better morals
We are learning that great men" are not
the roots Of popular progress, but the flower.

"The world" said Dr. Martin Luther IS
ruled by God through a few heroes and pre-
eminent persons" Which is a clear statement
of what is not true.
For the world is ruled by itself. The
progress Of government is toward eliminating
the leader, toward emphasizing the masses.
We are natural hero-worshipers, because
we naturally Dersonify forces, in order 10

money when middling is worth only little
over 90 cents?
cunning for the co-operatives again. Don't
let them deceive you about the associations.
They and their henchmen will talk you into
breaking your contracts If they can; they
will fill you full of al sorts of Ease reports
Hf you listen, for they are trying to take ad-
vantage of the hard price year everybody
had in the cotton trade last season, and run
the co-operatiyes out of business.
Probably they can't do that, but they can
make it mighty hard on your association s
management if many of you fall for the lies
and insinuations that are being spread.
If you want the truth, write to your as
ISOLATION and ask about the things that
bother you. You will be told frankly what
is what, and the chances are you will be
completely satisfied by the answer you get
Perhaps you didn't get as high price
last year as you thought you would get
But before you complain about that, stop
and decide whether or not you and your
neighbors kept your end Of the contract
Ask yourself if you delivered all you agreed
to deliver, at the time your cotton was
ginned. If you did, what about your neigh
Dor members? Did they do that? Did you
make it your duty to see that they did?
The co-operatives got an average price
last year, but they might have done much
p better except for one thing. Most of them
got in more cotton after January 1 than be-
fore that date.
Thousands Of members held out their cot
ton when the price was 81 cents, intending
OF sell when it got to 40. But when it
dropped to 27 cents they turned 1t over to
the association.
1t takes man who would do that sort of
trick to make the most noise against the
association when IL couldn't average over so
cents.
Stand by your association and 1t will do
the work for you.
But If sufficient number Of you mem
bers knife your association, stab it in the
back, sell your cotton against It's cotton,
and thus betray it to its enemies for twenty
pieces of silver, then you are going to
wreck it,
And you will be able to go back to the
old plan of taking what somebody is willing
to offer.
It's up to you.

For, these co-operatives plans to do with

just what Fords company does with auto

SHIP OFF COAST OF SPAIN SENDS OUT s 0 S.
Vessel At First Was Thought to Be I U. S. Boat, But Is Probably
 British Craft
Iy The Assoclated Preaa.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Sept. 23.-An sos. mes sage from a steamship giving her name as the Cranford and her posi- ton as about 50 miles off the northwest tip of Spain received yesterday evening caused the Brit ish steamers orsoya and Leitrim, bound from Australia to London, to rush to her assistance.
 The distress signal came from 43.40 north latitude 9.57 west longi- tude, which is northwest of La Coruna, Spain, and about 25 miles north of the regular steamship lane from that Spanish port to Havana. The orsova reported last night that at II o'clock she was 47 miles from the Cranford and that the Leitrim was 30 miles from the point indi- cated in the sos.
 It was at first believed that the Cranford was the United States shipping board vessel of that name which left New Orleans Aug. Sl fGS Bremen but later 1t was learned that she had arrived at her destina- tlon. The only steamer Cranford listed in shipping registers is a British ship of 1.710 tons gross whose recent movements have not been recorded.

TALE OF WITCHES
 FROM FAR NORTH
Indian SquaW Held for Tortur-
 ing Young Brave

Vancouver, B. C.. Sept. 23,-A weird tale of witchcraft. torture and murder came over the wires from far-away Telegraph Creek to- day.
 It was a message from q Royal Canadian mounted policeman an- nouncing that after trekking for a year through northern British Co., hmbia, he was returning 10 civili- zation with an aged Indian squaw and four accomplices who killed a young brave by inches because his "sorcery" brought the wrath of the evil spirits upon his tribesmen.
 Atol Moassin was the victims name. The name of the squaw charged with his murder was not contained in the policeman's dis patch. There was only brief ac- count of the crime.
New Britain herald., 1924-09-23

A year ago. said the message. hunting suddenly became very poor among the Indians of the northern wilderness. A long cold winter followed, and starvation. disease and death cut swaths in the ranks of the tribesmen.
 The superstition of their religion taught the Indians that some one of their number, some sorcerer and maker of "bad medicine whose witcheries invoked the wrath of the evil spirits, had brought calamity upon the tribe. Suspicion fell upon the youth Atol.
 Led by the aged squaw, the trbesmen invaded his shack at night, found him mumbling strange words over his tiny wood fire. and laid hands on him, They tied him to a sapling head downward, and let him hang for days, slowly dy- ing.
 At length the aged woman grew impatient that Atol died so slowly, according to the pollceman's tele- graphed account, and so she cut his throat with hunting knife.
 Over the trails, from camp to camp. the story filtered through to the mounted police and one of Us members set forth to bring the
 
 slayers to justice.

HANDLE NEW PLANE
 EASILY IN TESTS
British Air LeYiathan, Largest
 Yet, Proves Successful

Brough. England. Sept. 2i.-- Great Britaln's dreadnought of the air made it's first flight recently from the airdrome which was the hopping-off field of the American world flyers when they left Eng land for America by way of Ice land and Greenland.
 The monster machine is said to be the most powerful single-engined airplane in the world. From wing tip to wing-tip it measures SS feet, stands 19 feet from the ground and from nose to tail is 54 feet. The plane was built to take the new 1000 horsepower. Napier Cub en- zine, claimed to be the most pow full air motor in existence. It has 16 cylinders, yet weighs only 2,2oO
 pounds. A railway locomotive, de- veloping tho same power. weighs over 147,000 pounds
 Foreign air attaches came to Brough to see the trial flight of the "Cubaroo," as the plane is called. For 8 brief space the engine was run, and then with great roar the plane taxied across the airdrome and was away into the air, with Flight Lieutenant Paul Bulman, one of the most daring pilots of the Royal Air Force, in command.
 When the flight was ended Lieu tenant Bulman said the air Levia- than had handled as easily as a small plane. The response to the control was wonderful, and on land ing there was no suggestion of the enormous size of the machine.
 Some idea of the proportions of the plane is indicated by the fact that the single propeller is more than one and one-half times the size of a full-sized English billiard table. The tail alone is as large as an ordinary scouting plane. Two staircases from the central cabin lead to separate parts of the ma chine. One goes to the pilots cockpit, which has accommoda- tions for two, and the other gives access to a compartment behind the wings which may be used as a machine-gun tower.
 The plane is without armament of any kind. but when being used for military purposes it will carry about three tons of bombs or tor pedoes. The machine is ostensibly a three-seater, but there is accom- mediation in the cabin for a large crew, and the stairways make il possible for pilots and gunners alike to be relieved when the ma chine is in flight or even in action
 When produced in quantities the
 "Cubaroo" will be used to equir

Moscow Paper Says
 Treaty Was Bunk

Moscow, Sept. 23.-The noted economist Miliutin, writing in the Pravda, declares the time has come to break off all negotiations con- nected with the claims of the Brit ish financiers regarding the Anglo Russian treaty. He contends 1t has become evident that the BEitish gov- ernment in signing the treaty only did so in formal fulfillment, of the labor party's election pledges, and declares the real policy of the Mac Donald ministry differs not a whit from Lord Curzon's.
 By giving a guarantee for a Rus- sian loan only in principle, M. Miliutin asserts, the British govern ment made no economic compensa- ton for the very important conces- sions granted by the soviet govern ment.
