The Farm Problem

Washington, D. Cone of the most
encouraging signs of the times as to the
sincerely of the Republican Party and its
leaders is that despite all of the improve
ment Of the present status of the farmers,
the Administration is not only firm in its
belief that some program should be
worked out to aid the agriculturists, but
even now is discussing legislation toward
this end.
The average human inclination is,
when a group feels an emergency is over,
to let-down, TO forgive and forget.
The reports from many agricultural
states which have reached Washington
been so optimistic that there was a fear
this might happen and that the sober
consideration of the subject which is most
desirable might be sidetracked.
1t is a matter worth recording that the
White House and Republican leaders in
general, while rejoicing over the change
in conditions. are firm in the belief that
something should be done, and are ever
nov hard at work trying to evolve a pro-
gram.

measures against malaria were un-

intensive cleanup program was SET
in motion to purify water supplies,
provide sanitary surroundings of ri

health protective steps.
Beside the emergency work, the
Red Cross Public Health Nursing
Service developed about 100 new com.
munity nursing and health services
throughout the country. Nurse In

the Red Cross also extended train

"Ai" Smith, Sure

Washington, d. C-The nomination
of Governor AL Smith by the Democrats
for the Presidency is as good as settled.
There will be some screeching and cater
wauling among the Southern Democratic
Bourbons, but in the end they will vote
under the influence of the thumb-screws.
Certain of the Northern high -brows in the
party, with New York and Washington
habitats, are looking for a SO and nine
tenths per cent pure American candidate,
but their search is hopeless wen before
they get ii really under way.
The best evidence of the Smith strength
is the fact that no opposition candidate
has as yet secured courage enough TO
enter the field. Owen Young of New
York. who is wise even beyond his wears,
has waived aside all proposals, and Mere
dith of Iowa, who did start the journey
to the high mountain, has apparently re-
considered. Indeed, the political situa-
tion in the two parties has been curiously
reversed. Four years ago, the Democrats
had a half dozen candidates, and the
Republicans had one. In % apparently
the Democrats will have only one, and
the Democrats a half dozen.
