"It is all very heartening for the
country" said the cabinet officer. This
Is evidence that the people are alive
to the fact that the most patriotic
service that can be rendered is edu-
cation. The most inspiring avocation,
the most helpful avocation, the most
patriotic avocation, is the teaching ct
young men and young women along the
lines Of the colleges.
"You have the chance to instill into
those young people that presence, that
reserve force that we call character.
You have more to do with character
building that anybody else. The De-
partment of the Interior will render you
every possible assistance"
Complimenting the association on
coming to Washington with view to
getting together and solving problems
and returning home to do the job itself,
Mr.. Thorpe told the educators that I'VE
have too many people coming to Wash
ington to leave things on Washington S
doorstep, asking Washington and the
Federal Government to do things that
could be better done at home" Each
person Is donating one days work q
week to pay taxes, the editor informed
his hearers.
Close relation between various factors
in business life today were stressed by
Mr. Thorpe. There Is giant competi-
ton among groups for a larger share
of the consumers dollar, he pointed out,
adding, There are 40 food groups In
this new competition"
Mr.. Thorpe ridiculed the idea that
business is unsympathetic to the
farmer, pointing to the work that the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States has done to assist in fOrlnu-
lating> program and the dependency
of business on agriculture's prosperity.
The 1929 annual convention, it was
indicated at the morning meeting, will

Progress of the task of the Bureau
of Education in compiling survey of
the land grant colleges was explained
by DR.. A. j. Klein, chief of the division
of higher education of the bureau. DIR.
Klein expressed appreciation for the CO.
operation given by the college authori-
ties and answered what he said were
some criticisms directed against the
missionaries sent out Almost one
fourth of the total possible question
naires he said, has been received, with
81 institutions and more than 200 Ques-
tionnaires already in. He explained
that no time limit was set for COM

Did one speak of "dizziness?' She had it!
Did another talk about constant fatigue?
That was her ailment! Did still another

she read it!
She could not bring herself to go to the
doctor. She hardly knew how to describe
her feelings She knew merely that she

Texas democrats are in favor OF prohibition. Al

member Of the ways and means committed, which has
original jurisdiction Of tariff legislation.
As briefly reported in the press dispatches, Mr..
Garner reminds his querists that at the beginning Of
the session he declared himslef to be in favor OF tariff
revision, and that he did all that was possible to have
1t undertaken.
Mr.. Garner says he is in favor Of raising the du-
ties on several agricultural commodities which en-
counter competition with foreign products in this
country, and that he Is also in favor Of lowering the
duties on a number Of manufactures, presumably thore
in particular which are essential items OF purchase tor
the farmers.
Mr.. Garner probably would not attempt to reconcile
that program TO orthodox democratic policy with &c
spect to the tariff. He would doubtless justify it with
the argument that since there is no possibility of ef-
fecting a revision Of the tariff in strict accordan e
with democratic policy, the only practical duty con-
fronting a democratic representative from a district
in which farming is the chief industry is to .xtort
from protectionism the utmost that it can be made to
yield. With that purpose farmers can have no quar-
rel; nor, indeed, can men Of other primary interests.
II they are animated BY a lively sense OF justice.
Protectionism can afford few fsvors to the asricul-
tural industry; this for the reason that most Of ias
products have their prices fixed in a market which is
unaffected By our tariff laws. IL is a noteworthy fact
that the few of their products which are most sus-
ceptlole TO protection nave received the least Of that
fostering in the existing law. which has shown its gen
crosby mostly in behalf Of those particular products
which are imPervious to tariff duties. Mr.. Garner
thinks, evidently. that II protectionism is . fixed policy
il is those products which are susceptible TO the in
flationary influence Of high duties which should be
singled out for fostering. Something can be done Tor
the farmers in that way. But more can be done for
them in the other way mentioned by Mr.. Garner, that
Of reducing duties on manufactured products which
they have the largest need to buy. Mr.. Garner seems
to be one Of those who zee that the farmer gets the
worst Of it from the tariff even when it does its best
for him, and that that is the more reason why the ut
most should be extorted from it in his behalf.
