National Politics

The opportunities of the individ-
ual to study our government as a
trust, the officers as trustees, and
the conduct of public affairs as they
shall be administered for the bene-
fit of the people, is at hand-not to-
morrow, or next week, but today.
Anyone who thinks that govern
ment does not change is sadly mis-
taken. Read Hoover and Smiths
speeches of acceptance.
The tariff was formerly a subject
of terrific political debate, but thus
far in this campaign it is difficult to
distinguish much difference between
the Republican and the Democrats
with regard to this question.
When the youngest voters of to-
day were born all country roads
were dirt roads. Now our highways
constitute one of our great economic
and social questions.
AS late as ten years ago capital
fought labor over COLLECTIVE bar
gaining" Capital and labor. as
represented in railroads and other
great industrial employments, as
sailed injunctions and bitter con-
troversies ragged, and there were
many desperate industrial strug-
giles. Today both the presidential
nominees are championing collec-
tive bargaining, and they are not
far apart regarding strike injunc-
tions.
Only since the war has agricul-
ture been regarded as a great prob
lem to be dealt with through ma
tional legislation. Nearly one-half
OF the people who operate farms to-
day rent them, which is a very diff
terent condition as compared with
twenty-five years ago when the
farms were owned and operated by
the men who lived on them. The
intelligent thought in both of the
political parties is being directed
towards finding a way to put agri-
culture in the same advantageous
position that exists in other indus
tries.
The development of inland water
ways, particularly through the
Great Lakes and the st. Lawrence
to the sea, has suddenly become a
paramount issue before the Ameri- |
can people. Like the subject of |
farm relief it has been pushed in the
background for many years. Now it
is sort of a rider" in behalf of
farm relief" to help the middle
west.
Engineers do not regard the task
to be as difficult neither will it be
as expensive as the Penama Canal
where giant explosives removed

found that after dressing up its five

that the "luXuries of today are the

the peculiar form of dress, or the
quips of fashions that are looked

be accepted as triumphs of tomor-
