Several Reasons for
Vitality of Village

Near large cities, of course, real es-
tate subdivisions initiate the little set
Elements, and they grow out of all
ing well along the way to becoming
cities themselves. But farther away
the contributing factors to continued
existence are some extremely modern
developments which one would hardly
suspect. The country depends upon
the automobile; the country people
learn that it can take them away
from their isolation and provide that
temporary escape so necessary to
tranquil existence. Very well, then,
what need to move away permanently
from familiar and pleasant location,
where the family is comfortably set
tied? If they wish to go anywhere
for change there is the car.
Then, of course, radio is another in
f1uence, for it brings to the outlying
districts a full measure of entertain
ment, information which sometimes
has its monetary value, and also bit
of that sophistication that is most
priced of all. Electric machinery both
in the home and in the farm buildings
makes existence more pleasant and
less arduous, and the telephone con-
meets friends and relatives.
Taking these things into account,
the vitality of the, village is not
pulling 1t has survived the era of
change and mastered difficult situa-
ton by adopting the changes itself in
stead of resisting progress. The
United States is still full of small
towns, and it is safe to predict that
this fortunate circumstance will con-
tinue i'll force for many generations
to come.-Philadelph Record.

RAISING OF FUNDS
CHIEF COP. WORRY
Hoover Anxious 10 Keep
Pledge of No Deficit at
End of Campaign.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The biggest problem before the Re-
publican national committee members
who met here today with Secretary
Hoover and Senator Curtis. is how
funds shall be raised and at the same
time give the country the assurance
that there will not be a repetition of
the deficits of other presidential cam
paignS.
The new nominee for the presidency
Is anxious that there shall not be the
slightest question about campaign ex-
pendiiures He will insist ON constant
reports and will try to prevent those
things from happening which usually
give rise TO implications of impropriety
For instance. the size of the contr;bu-
lions heretofore has been a subject OF
debate.
$1,000 Limit too Low.
Will Hays had the idea in 1920 that
nobody should be permitted to give
above $1,000, but when the campaign
vas over he found that there had not
been enough time TO get such contribu-
ions IN sufficient number TO pay ex-
oenses.
Discussion has been revived about
placing limit on campaign contribu-
tions. but the difficulty about it is that
some very generous-minded men in both
parties want the privilege of giving
commensurate with their means. There
are many men to whom $4,000 con-
tribution means as little at does Si00
contribution by thousands of Others In
fact, the probability is that the $4,000
unit will be the one the two major par
ties will strive for. The question is not
30 easily solved as would appear on the
urface
The cost of a national campaign runs
from two to three million dollars. If
The national committees were able to
control all the expenditures it would be
simplified. but in both the Democratic
md Republican parties the difficulty is

GOVERNOR SMITH AND THE ST. LAWRENCE
WATERWAY
Minneapolis Tribune

The contrasting opinions held by Governor
Smith and Herbert Hoover on the St. Lawrence wat
erway should be of interest to the wheat growers
of the northwest.
In October, 1920, the international Joint COM
mission, composed of Canadians and Americans,
meeting in Albany, N. Y, to consider the st.
Lawrence waterway. Governor Smith sent COM
munication to the commission October 16 which
contained the following expression of opinion:
= IS when it is proposed that the govern
nent of the United States join with the Do
minion of Canada in the canazation of the
st. Lawrence river, as chief executive this
great empire state, comprising 10 per cent of
the nation, over rs per cent of the wealth of
the nation, paying nearly 80 per cent of the
taxes of the nation, embracing within it's bord-
ers the finest inland waterway in the world,
would have you know that New York protests
with all its might and will oppose the project
to the limit of its resources.
will leave it to the New York-Saint Law
commission Governor Smiths COM
rnission) to present to you at subsequent hear
ings conclusive evidence as to the impractic-
ability and absurdity of the plan, which 1 am
confident, will ultimately be defeated
Governor Smith then thought that the plan was
absurd as well as impracticabe.
Four days later, on October 20, 1920 Mr.. Hoov-
appeared in person before the International Joint
commission to urge the construction of the st..
Lawrence canal. In the course of closely reasoned
and dispassionate speech Hoover said:
1 have felt that the construction of this sys-
tenn (the St Lawrence canaD would be of very

J. F. Reed, who takes himself very seriously
as political force in the state, has resigned the
Presidency of the Minnesota Farm Bureau to head
the All Party Smith organization in the State. The
Herald editor first came in contact with Reed dur
ing the campaign when Jake Preus was endeavor-
ing to succeed the late Senator Knute Nelson as
United States Senator from Minnesota. Reed was
very close to the Preus organization and conveyed
the idea he could deliver the farmer vote of the
state to the Governor. 1t will be recalled that
Magnus Johnson defeated Preus in this campaign
with II per cent of the vote of the state. The
thought the Herald is endeaevoring to bring out is
that Mr.. Reeds influence with the farmers is very
largely estimated. He isn't any stronger with
the farmers today than he was half dozen years
ago. His joining the forces of Gov. Smith
in Minnesota should not necessarily cause any sleep
less nights the part of those managing the
Hoover campaign in Minnesota. ..

be-developed agricultural resources of our en-
tire country. : = the price to the farmer

to the point where his price is fixed by the flow

proximately 10 cents a bushe to the Ameri-

wheat to the American farmer.
And if we can increase his return we vii!
have increased the prosperity of the United
States by no small degree; and in doing so we
will have built up every urban center in the
whole of our country
This is what Mr.. Hoover thinks of the st
Lawrence canal in terms of the northwestern wheat
growers Governor Smith thinks the ST. Lawrence
canal is not only mpracticable but absurd.
If the st. Lawrence waterway means anything
to the farmers of the northwest they should have
little difficulty in selecting their caniidate-the
one who sees the United States only in terms OF New
York, or the one who sees the United States as 9
nation.

The State of Maine holds it's state election in
September. There has long been contention that
Maine goes in September so goes the Nation in
November. At Thursdays election Maine poed
the largest vote in its history and gave the Repub
lican candidates for Governor and United States
Senate the largest majorites given any cam
didates in the State The Hoover managers are
elated while the managers of Gov. Smith say that
the result was expected In any event if the Maine
vote be taken as criterion there isn't any
noticeable slump from the Republican ranks
