PTNCHOT'S OPPORTUNITY

Outside of Pennsylvania the average citizen,
with his countrys welfare at heart hoped that Gift
ford Pinchot might defeat William S. Ware and
George Wharton Pepper in the recent threecornered
threemillion-doar senatorial primary OF the three
candidates Governor Pinchot seemed the one really
fitted by character and ability to in the United
States Senate The average person believed that
if he had been Pennsylvania resident he would
have resisted the ten offers from the other candi-
dates Ito serve as watcher, of course) and would
have cast his ballot for Pinchot.
Now, 1t seems, Pinchot may try his luck again
He is said to be toying with the idea of announcing
his candidacy as independent Notwithstanding
he was bad third in the Republican primary
The average citizen must see such an entry in
a different light from the first The lines have been
drawn in Pennsylvania. The Republican party or
ganization has accepted Bill Vare Philadelphia po-
litical booder as it's candidate 1t hopes to elect
him. in face Of the certain fact that the Senate will
throw him out when he appears to take his seat. 1t
expects then to have it's Governor elected with Mel
lon money, appoint successor satisfactory to the
machine That is its program and just one man in
Pennsylvania possibly wreck that program.
The man is William B. Wilson, former secretary
of labor A clean, capable, high class man, with
long record of conscientious public service behind
him. he has been nominated as the Democratic
didate against Ware.
1t would be difficult to find the important points
of public policy which Wilson and Pinchot differ.
They agree on foreign affairs, even enforcement
of the vostead law. Though one from
wealthy home and the other from coal mine, their
views on industrial and labor questions very
much the same.
Pinchot can not be elected independent He
may reduce the number Of Republican votes given
Ware in that overwhelmingly Republican State and
thus slightly aid Wilson, Wilson can be elected If all
the forces that resent vares purchase of the nomna-
ton united behind him. This would include the
forces that follow Pinchot.
The average good citizen the country over will
be disappointed If Pnchot does not see his real
opportunity and measure up to it. He should an
nounce his support of William B. Wilson. If he sees
this and acts accordingly it will be the biggest thing
he has done in truly creditable public career.

WATSON AND THE FARMER

that the price of farm products was nXeu ny 'ho

He was trying to prove to them that he ana not

He was then endeavoring, as he is now, to line
nm that farm vote which he had seen deserving hlm
Now he insists that high protective tar1n 10
necessary to the welfare of the farmer
The two declarations do not jibe.
For the records Of the Department of Commerce
show that the farmer has raised considerable eA
portable surplus" every year since 1916
The Nation has sent abroad each year every
staple raised on the farms Of this country.
So If Watson was right in his saying that the
surplus fixes the prices, there is needed no tarln
wall to keep out from this country farm products
raised abroad.
The Nation was selling not buying food stuifs
There was no threat of competition
The farmer is beginning to wonder where he
gets any benefit from the tariff for which Watson Is
fighting They are beginning to understand that IL
raises, the prices on the things he buys and does
nothing for the products of his own labor.
The Western farmer. especially has awakened
to this fact and is demanding revisions articles
which he must purchase.
The point is that Watson is using as always, the
same old bunk which he has always handed out.
His high tariff plea for the farmer and his argu-
ment against the Coolidge attitude on farm relief
simply do not mix.

Real Intellect

The notion prevails that ideas are
confined to books, that education
means an acquaintance with art and
literature and that there is some.
thing wrong, il not devilish, in ma.
terial progress.
AS a matter of common sense,
there is more real intellect in an
airplane than in a Shakespearen
play.
AS a matter of still more common
sense, Shaqespeare's real greatness
does not rest on the fact that he
wrote entertaining plays, but that
he gave the world it's cue to study
the human mind.
Dreamers. poets and philosophers
have taught us how to imagine, but
Imagination never amounted to
much until 1t was made to express
itself through science and me-
chanics.

Civilization is a structure OF or
ganized thought. Books enable us
to can It. preserve it and transmit
it, but its benefit consists in the
way 1t is made to take form in
buildings, contrivances and ma
chinery.
The chair you sit in is a thought.
or more accurately, a compilation of
thought. So Is the table at which
you eat. the lamp that lights your
house, the auto that enables you to
move about faster than your grand
father could.
Destroy any device or continuance,
and you have destroyed a thought.
