Fatigue From War

i We miss the far look of a Wilson,
the inspiring voice OF a Roosevelt,
the dignified presence of a Cleveland.
Doubtless, much OF the trouble Is
due to fatigue after war. the war
coupled with an overdose Of pros
perity.
We were a little tired after mo-
bilizing 100000 men and raising
$50. 900, 000,000 to save the world
for democracy, while conditions were
such that we could afford TO lie
down on the job.
1t mas been very pleasant TO real
lie that nobody would rock the boat
il we catnapped. and that "a hungry
Europe would buy all we. produced,
no matter what the price.
1t was pleasant, too, to be told
that good times had become perma-
nent, that monopoly had evolved
from a menace to a good angel, and
that we could afford to put our
selves in the hands Of big business
without fear. No wonder politics
shriveled to- the semblance OF mud
fight between old women in back
alley, or that candidates saw moth
ing worth talking for, except cheers.
laughter and applause.

Crisis Is Ahead

am not pessimistic over the
situation because of a clear convic-
ton that our own laziness will bring
on the necessary depression to wake
us up.
Nations. like men, cannot drift
and be safe, but must forestall and
meet problems as they arise.
At present this country is blind
folding itself and trying to be hap
Ply because of what it doesn't see.
The most important thing It
doesn't see is that, no matter how
we'll off it may be today. 1t can't
hope to remain so without the use
of that same old intelligence.
AS a matter of common sense the
United States is about to face one
of the most critical periods in its
history, a period of strenuous COM
petition into which the whole CIV
ilized world has been driven by ne
cessity on the one hand, and envy
on the other.

WHEN CLARIS TALKS

Proudly paraded is the fact that Claris Adams
the opponent of Watson in the primaries lis to speak
IN behalf Of his rival at Rushvile the close of the
campaign.
That follows the amenities of politics, If there
be question Of politics In this campaign.
The people will be glad to hear Mr. Adams. Some
$4,000 Republicans voted for him In the primaries
He had the ability to sway audiences by his argr-
aens In the latter part of April and doubtless still
has L.
Just az suggestion may 1t not be hoped that
Mr. Adams will once again explain what he meant
whea he referred to the sterile craftsmanship Of
Senator Watson and boldly declared that in thirty
years OF congregational life Watson had never
espeused measure or a cause that worth while.
The people are still interested and Mr. Adams is
an authority
Then too he should explain to the neighbors of
the Senator that when Senator Watson voted against
the World Court, he returned home and told various
men that he, Watson had only voted from expediency
and that he had really secured other Senators to
help pass the measure. Perhaps he will again point
TO Glenn Richards of Terre Haute as his authority.
That speech of Claris ought to be humdinger,
If he repeats in October what he said in April.

Politics Has Not Become
Vicious but Just Cheap
in United States.
BY M. e. Tracy

Every so often somebody rises to
inquire why more bright young men
don't enter politics.
The present campaign furnishes
an answer.
OF all the thousands of candidates
clamoring for votes, who has said
anything worth remembering?
The country is full of scandal and
faces some real problems, but no one
seems to mind.
Those refusing-to concede that all
is well. and they are in a hopeless
minority, bring out some trumped-
out picayunish charge, instead of
dealing with raw spots that are com
monty known.
The debauched Pennsylvania pri-
mary has caused only one prominent
Republican to renounce his party s
candidate.
1t is typical Of the situation that
Mills, Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of New York. should be shout
ing himself hoarse over milk. not
because the milk is really bad. but
because it is technically below the
prescribed standard.
1t is also typical Of the situation
that Watson, Republican candidate
for Senator In Indiana. should Vi
sualize himself as beset by a mob
Of angry international bankers who
are putting up millions to accom-
plish his defeat because he voted
against the World Court.

vaudeville show in the name OF poll.
tics.
Bright young men, who take life
seriously and who aspire to serious
work, will have none of IL.
The idea that they ought to go in
and clean UP the mess does not APP
peal 10 them. There isn't enough
substance in the thing to make an
honest mess.
Politics has not become vicious in
this country. but just cheap.

Danger In BignesS

AS to the growth Of monopoly, it
is something to be watched. Bust
ness may not be wrong because 1t is

of danger in its bigness.
President Coolidge told the Amer

That may be true, but we have not

Our farm marketing and dis

a matter of justice to the farmer
but in order TO put this country in
position to meet increased agricul-
