Obliteration Yes~But Not Just Yet

Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific Rail
road helpful note when he told the Harvard Club
that America not going to dogs Peculiarly the people
of the greatest country the world need to be reminded
of this fact from time to tmeusuay prior to national
election Mr. Elliott says that various conditions situations
and problems call the attention of thoughtful intelligent
men, He feels however the light of national experience
and the knowledge that when they aroused the fact
that 80 per cent of the American people conservative
and abiding there need to worry about the future
I'VE not going to the dogs said Mr. Elliott I predict
that the next twenty-five, fifty and seyentyye years will
be the most wonderful period of the world and the most
glorious in the history of the United States
Conditions situations and problems will always have

of nature If the problems Of the world We're solved
nations would wther and decay There always work to
do Reaching perfection means arriving at obteraton and
the time is not ripe for that
The outlook for the nation pictured by Mr. Elliott is
the outlook for practically town and village in the

SWATTING TAXES

Reduce the tax burden. That proposal ranks first
among popular appeals but the point where taxes are to
be reduced is one of the biggest problems.
From local sources are told to keep our eyes on
national pork barrels From the national viewpoint
are urged to cut down our local expenditures. Con-
gresS tells to reduce every tax Which has no particular
political significance
Now that the time for political attacks on men and
their measures at hand, why not start tax reduction
campaign against unnecessary expenditures BY congress-
who public money to dlscredlt men and groups
who in danger of winning popular approval!
Congress should it's power to pry into the affairs
of every bureau department which is spending TOO
much money against Which legitimate complaint has
been heard But of the greatest and most
sary leaks in the national treasury those arising out
of Investigations which political groups make each
sion in desperate attempt to dlscfed the work OF OPP
posing groups.
One such investigation has cost million of dollars
Every survey of this kind up expense account
into the thousands of dollars They should be made with
little determinations Ii evidence points TO the
gross inefficency of department, investigation may
save the country money, may result In vast improve
nent in service But scores of Investigations made
ing some little slip which be made big issue and
which be made to throw mist over the good work
which some part of the government Gas done.
If Congress insists upon its Investigations, Why not
conduct which will show people of the country the
total amount of money spent this year surveys which
have only political fight in view The Of nves
cations the big point Why is the investigation to be
made? Is it the result of strong evidence that msman
agement or useless squanderng of public funds is pro-
gress? Will the investigation cost far more than the
trouble warrants :?
Tax reductions which will save some group Of people
of the country the price of small theater party are per-
fecv reasonable They will be appreciated But if Con-
gress must investigate why not let clerk add the
total cost the country of which made for
purely political personal reasons? why not publish
with this information the personal expenditures for pro-
paganda of congressman II tax reduction is good sen
ment then it should be good in principle ana not only
good for hand-picked exceptions-Fargo, n D. Tribune

Who Eros Was.

In classic mythology Eros is the Greek
name of the deity termed Cupido or
Amor by the Romans. He was the son
of Mars and Venus, and was generally
represented with golaen wings and
armed with CULVER of arrows, which
he shot into the bosoms Of those gods
and men that he would fnflame with
the passion of love He was the con
stant companion of his mother, and
was often represented blindfolded.
Previous to The time Of Alexander the
Great Eros WAS conceived as a hand
some youth; but IN later times the
poets describe Inn as wanton boy,
from whose cruel sports neither gods
nor men were safe.

II : Whole k,on.

The largest pig in the world is Aus
tralian it is claimed. The animal ex-
hibited there recently weighs 1,168
pounds, or more than half ton, and
measures S feet 3 inches in length.
Its height is 3 feet 8 inches; it has
waist measurement Of 6 feet 5
inches; while it is only twenty-five
months old. This giant looks more
like Il hippopotamus than a pig, and
when il has finished growing it is
probable that it will resemble an ele-
plant more than a product of the
farmyard

INSURGENTS OR THIRD PARTY

Now that the Senate has chosen a chairman for it's
interstate commerce committee that body rob
p its sleeves for work The gesture of insurgents has
been made
Will the nsurgent minority which holds the balance
of power in Congress continue to act third party
unit Ii they do the two party system in which par
y is positively control of affairs in national leglsa
tion will suffer big setback this year.
The United States and England have long been the
home Of two party politics Measures have been carried
out because leaders of single party have agreed to
port the legislation change developed this year Eng
ish politics. In countries such France where dozen
parties and groups active in parliament
measure must depend upon the support Of several groups
before it become law Legislation is very distinctly
influenced at times by minorities.
Groups which are practically third parties are drag
the country il their whole aim is to dscredt and hin
der legislation eanatng from the party which has the
most votes in Congress- But consolation of this condi
ton is that third group may the purpose OF
ures which the leading parties will not touch. Such may
be the result of the activities of nsrgen group in
Congress-
The insurgents hesitate to form third party They
doubtless know that safer test Of their cause act
the part of insurgents for the present their
Of great Importance forthcoming elections viii add to
their strength, of the main parties will absorb
their stuff If the issues do not much OF stir
among people Of the country then no good Jobs lost
at any rate
An insurgent group like third party al least bring

tested before popular opinion Unless their plan pure

CITY Of Good Neiqhbors.

In book II of Mary s. Haviland's
Modern Physiology, Hygiene and
Health, we read
Il suppose no city ever had more
marked character or a greater infiu-
ence than the city Of Athens which
was a center Of beauty and culture for
the whole ancient world
"And the reason was that it was q
city of good neighbors.
1T is said that every Athenian, when
he came Of age to vote, took solemn
oath not only never to injure his city
in any way, but to serve and work for
it SO that he might leave It better,
finer city than he found it.
"And the Athenians lived up to this
promise so well that even today, after
hundreds and hundreds of years. we
admire the wonderful city of Athens. :
