While organized labor in the United States
may have something to learn from the great
Australian experiment in union of labor, it also
has from the same source warning OF examples
It will do well not to emulate.
There is reason for the common belief that
Australia is the haven of labor unions and labor
parties, but all is not brotherly love and con-
tentment in that commonwealth.
Organized labor covers Australia like net
work. Every trade and nearly every profess
sion has it's union. These unions are powerful,
ambitious and constantly striving to extend
their control. In regulating immigration and
maintaining high living standard their sue
cess justifies Australia's title of haven Of the
trade union.
Turning to the political side, the picture is
not so rosy. This is not from lack of effort
on the part of labor to seize control of the
public business. But here there has been too
much of a spirit of faction, along with de-
termination to dominate everything, which has
overleaped ITSELF Most of the Australian labor
parties are organized on basis of partisan ex-
clusiveness which even Tammany Hall might
envy. They attempt to dictate the policies and
even the personnel of the government. This
party tyranny has gone 50 far that it has here
and there led to open revolt in the Labor Party
Internal differences and violent dissensions are
preventing it from being the allpowerful ma
chine it would like to be.

Discovering New Markets

The American Institute of Chemistry be-
|lieves it has a solution for the farm problem.
Moreover it has enough confidence in itself
and it's idea to undertake to prove its claims.
There is need, as the chemists claim, for a
general and widespread inquiry into the whole
problem of agricultural production and dis.
tribution, the ultimate object of which would
|be to place the farmer on plane with the in
dustrialist.
The farmers prosperity depends upon the
demand for food Even though food is fund
amental need, the farmer as a general thing
|overproduces, and until he can find satisfac-
tory market for his overproduction his condi-
ton cannot be bettered Political farm relief
realizes this fact but has no plan for disposing
|of surplus farm products.
The plan of the chemists institute is to find
markets for the surplus. 1t believes CONNER
Icial utilization Of farm products will lead even
tually to the farmers independence. for it will
assure him an auxiliary market for his prod
ucts at high price
Last year 10 per cent of the corn crop was
converted into butyl alcohol the basis for the
production of lacquer. This is but one of hun
dreds of nonfood products that are manufac-
tured from farm products. and there are hun
dreds Of other uses awaiting to be discovered
If industry can make tremendous profits from
by products, why cannot agriculture?

Doubling LIES Span

DR.. Serge Voronoff, the Vienna regeneration
expert, believes that the natural span of human
life is around $50 years, and says he can fix
things so that all of us, if we WISH can live
that long.
Disregarding the fact that there are plenty
of medical men who will disagree with the
Viennese gland specialist, we may admit that
his statement is rather fascinating. However
religious, courageous or stoical we may be, most
most of us have lurking fear of DEATH Life
may not be perfectly satisfactory to us, but we
dread giving it up. DR.. Voronoff does not
promise immortality, but he offers to double
the normal life span; and if death is pushed
three-quarters of century into the back
ground, we can forget it for the present
After all, however, it is only fair to remark
that there are several other things the human
race needs much more than it needs an extra IS
years Of life. In fact, it almost seems as if DR..
Voronoffs gift would not be an unmixed bless
ing. Imagine the emotion of a bent, toi-worn
coal miner, for instance; man who has
drudged and shaved for SO years in the damp
underground galleries, ridden always by
financial worry and poverty; imagine his emo
tions on being told that he has another Is years
to devote to digging coal!
Before begging DR.. Voronoff to double our
life span we ought to bestir ourselves and find
some way of making better use Of the years
we already have. For it is not the fact that life
IS snort LndL causes the WOTlO misery IL Is
the fact that life is pitiably, tragically mis-
used.
There is wide gulf between what we are
capable of and what we do. We are born the
open-handed children of everlasting light; vet
behold! we grope and stagger and fall In the
mire, and bind ourselves about with ignorance
and jealousy and selfishness and intolerance
and blindness until we have lost our heritage
Most Of our troubles-war, poverty, oppression
arise from our own limitations They come
because we do not yet know how to handle oul
lives properly.
It would be splendid to have longer lives. Blu
there are other things we need more. We ar
not ready. yet. for century and half O
living. We must first learn how to make tn
most of the years we have. When we hav'
cleared the world of bigotry, rivalries, wars in
dustrial conflicts and perjury we shall be il
shape to talk about 15O-year life span. Blu
It present such thing would prove far from
Z boon.

Editorial Comment

New York Times)

Secretary Hoover's campaign manager at
Kansas City, Mr. James w. Good, takes a
severely argumentative view of the threatened
farm revolt" He declares, with the cool air
of logician, that the agricultural guns cannot
be fired at Mr.. Hoover without hitting Presi-
dent Coolidge But Mr.. Coolidge is going to be
praised to the skies in the Republican platform.
His public services are to be reckoned among
the great assets of the party for this years
election. But those services include the vetoing
of the McNary- Haugen bill. The thorough-go-
ing endorsement of the President by the Re-
publican platform cannot exclude that from its
laudation. It may. to be sure, propose some
other roundabout, elusive and remote form of
agricultural relief, in order to placate the angry
farmers, but that cannot be allowed to inter-
fere with sweeping approval of Mr.. Coolidge
This the Middle Western Republicans, who
favor Governor Lowden, cannot stop, and ap-
parently do not wish to try to STOP Their
scheme is to applaud the President, but at the
same time to capitalize for their own benefit
the farmers discomfort with one of his major
policies. This strikes the logical mind Of Mr..
Good as supremely ridiculous It is like trying
to eat your cake and have it too. So Mr.. Good,
with the triumphant air of man making a
demonstration in logic, asserts that when the
National Convention has given it's endorsement
to the Administration of President Coolidge,
"Mr. Lowden will find that he is through"
IL Is conclusion winch might De accepted
as inevitable, if politics were a rational game
played only by rational people. Everybody
knows that it is not. Great waves of emotion
often sweep over political parties, or the entire
country with the effect of binding multitudes
to all nice distinctions or to the real reason of
the case. So it is unwise to draw the infer
ence that because Western farmers are now
crying out that President Coolidge has aban-
doned and betrayed Them they will oppose en-
dorsing him fulsomely in the Republican plat.
form or would vote against him if he consented
to take another nomination. They might be
highly inconsistent in this, but that fact would
not deter them. The course which it is in.
dicated they will pursue may be the height OF
unreason, but that very fact increases the prob
ability Of it's being adopted. Political observers
and oracles reckon i'll who leave out the influ-
ence Of sentiment in American elections. It ap-
pears to be very much mixed in the Republican
Party just ct present, but when it gets cleared
and runs in definite and single channel it may
easily be decisive of the final result Then it
will be Of no use for men to think to prevent
the flood by asserting. and perhaps proving,
that it il illogical and full Of self-contradic-
lions.

Customs

Most everybody has wondered where the
customs of shaking hands and lifting the hat
originated. The question of origin has probably
been inspired by thoughts Of the futility and
uselessness Of both customs.
One theory of the origin Of the hand -shakins
custom is that prehistoric man proffered his
right hand to the passerby to indicate that he
haA left his club at home and was bent on some
poaceful pursuit. The custom has deteriorated

Washington, June I'm all
political history no president has
ever placed his party in such .
maze of doubt as Calvin Coolidge.
A rumor has been floating around
Washington that Mr.. Coolidge
would, before the balloting began
at Kansas City. completely destroy
his chances Of nomination by a def
mite announcement that he wouldn't
accept it.
In any event, it is about to be de-
termined whether. as a small min
ority believes, he has yearned all
along to hear his party's call, or he
has merely found certain sour en-.
joyment in keeping Hoover, Butler
and others quivering or the hook
of anxiety.
This draft Coolidge" agitation
which has surged and ebbed almost
as often as the tides themselve,
ever since last August may never
get anywhere at all. But If the
president should actually be renom.
mated, he would head the sorest
party that ever marched into cam
paign. In the first place, the agri-
cultural sentiment represented BY
Lowden>is smarting like everything
since his McNary- Haugen veto. And

ers and contributors would BE-
simply unimaginable.
These facts tend to discourage be.
lief that Coolidge will really be
drafted. There are others. The
third-term issue would be raised Al
soon as the last state had cast it,
vote at Kansas City.
It would be charged that Coolidge
had merely been kidding the public
so that he might bury that issue un'
til nomination time and that he hat
made his McNary- Haugen veto 81
hot in order to solidify opposition
against Hoover. It will be remem
bered that the draft squad in thu
party is even now whispering thai
the great emergency in which Cool
idge might consent to sacrifice hi!
own desires for the party may have
arisen with that veto and the pres
ent farm revolt.
Smart politicians with memorie,
also believe that if Coolidge wer,
to run again this year the party
even if it won next November, woult
be in for terrible licking in 1882.

WASHINGTON 81
LETTER So

It is commonly predicted in WASH
ington that if Coolidge were to serve
another term he would be the most
unpopular president in history.
Grant, Cleveland and Wilson have
been the only presidents since An
drew jackson to serve eight years.
A revulsion Of political feeling fol-
lowed the seccld administration of
each.
In. 1876 the Democrats, still far
from recovered from the Civil War
smash, won . plurality of popular
votes and only lost the presidency
through some atrocious hornswog-
Cling. In 1896 the Democrats re-
pudiated Cleveland and the country
repudiated the Democrats. The 1920
Republican landslide is q matter Of
recent memory. What would hap
pen to a party which kept a presi-
dent in office more than eight
years can only be guessed.
II the convention begins voting
with no further word from Cool
idge, the closest approach to q
parallel will be the position OF
James G. Blaine in 1888. Blaine had
been barely beaten by Cleveland in
1884 and it was supposed that he
would be renominated almost un-
animously at the Chicago convention
four years later.
It was a Republican year, thanks
to Cleveland's uncompromisine
stand for tariff reduction. Whether
Blaine failed to realize that and be.
lieved he would be defeated in the
election or whether he felt in poor

in one of the plays Of the old Bow

part of it's life and its color.

moment, may be singing the latest

way the old cronies get together
