POLITICS HONORABLE
PROFESSION.

Politics is regarded as an honorable
profession in England. Young men an
nounce their intentions of becoming
politicians the same as if they were
to select medicine or law as pro-
fession. They take courses of study to
qualify themselves to hold public office
and to take part in public affairs.
In this country politics and politi-
clans are viewed with disdain. A man
who will frankly state that he was pre-
pairing himself to seek an office or
qualify for the discharge of its duties
would be greeted with disdain.
He must appear before the public as
being forced by his friends to become
candidate. The office must seek the
man, as has often been declared.
There is lack of sincerity in public
affairs that exists in England. This
hypocrisy keeps many good men out
of public life and discredits honorable
service to the country.

uNGRArEFUL FILIpINos.

Nicholas Roosevelt wrote book in
which he outlined frankly the prob
lem that the American Government
faces in the Philippines. He said in
effect that the Filipinos did not APP
preciate the efforts that have been
made by the American Government to
better the conditions in the Islands.
but that 1t was the duty of the United
States as it had occupied the Islands
to carry on, and maybe that the
Natives would appreciate the work in
the future.
without regard to whether our
efforts would be appreciated, it was
the duty of American people to put
their resources behind any policy OF
raising the standard of living and i'm
proving the conditions in the Islands.
He expressed the opinion that it would
be some time before the Islands would
be ready for self-government or in
dependence.
It is possible that President Hoover
read the book and decided that this
man should be appointed Lieutenant
Governor of the Philippines and given
an opportunity to help work out the
problems of the Islands. What hap
pened in the Philippines when Mr..
Roosevelt was appointed? The poll
ticos in the Islands proceeded to prove
that Mr.. Roosevelt had set forth il,
the book was true. They staged a
demonstration in which it was an
nounced that a copy of MIR. Roosevelt's
book was being burned. 1t turned
out afterwards that they did not have
a copy of Mr.. Roosevelt's book, but
the speakers dashed themselves to a
fury before small audience and
denounced Mr.. Roosevelt for telling
them the truth. They kept bombard-
ing Washington with protests until
Mr.. Roosevelt was given another APP
pointment in the Diplomatic Service.

, THE BEST THING

BY DOUGLAS mALLocH


THE problem of life is no problem

The best thing to be Is the thing
that you are.
Yet many girl starts to school in
in the fall,
And many a boy to some college
afar,
To take up the task that is likely to
pay,

say,
When all of the willie she just
wanted to cook,
And he had n dream he would serb.
BILE book.
The best thing to do, that's the ques-
ton they ask;
Well, they, they alone, know the
proper reply
1t isn't the pay, or the ease of the
task,
But what you do better the better
you try.
Yes, heaven made all of us this thing
or that
And. these are the things for US each
to be Mt,
Yes, heaven made all of us that
thing or this.
The thing to be at Is the thing
that it is.
The best thing to do is the best thing
you can,
Yes, preaching or plumbing, what
ever it be.
There's something for some one, each
woman, each man,
Their own hearts will tell them, not
strangers, not me.
A million is failure at something you
hate,
And many have starved who were
splendidly great
Yes, here is the answer and this
Is the test:
The best thing to do is the thing
you do best.

In the meantime. the dry leaders
and especially the woman organiza-

| The election of j. Ham Lewis will
bring into the Senate full beard
which has been rarity in recent
years. There was time, about thirty
or more years ago, when smoth boy
ish face was regarded not in keeping
with the dignity of the Upper House
of Congress.
Younger men, when they were elect
ed to the Senate, hastened to grow o
beard. They at least wore mustache
Sideburns were quite popular in the
Senate.
One of the first beardless statesmen
to appear in the Senate was Mark
Hanna. BY the Republicans he was
recognized as q leader, while the
Democrats termed him 1.-The Machine
Boss"
A tourist, who had been reading the
word pictures of the opposition press
and shuddering at the cartoons of
Boss Hanna" asked guide to point
out this Horrible creature"
When the guide pointed to a clean
shayen, jovial man moving about the
floor of the Senate, with a sparkling
eye, the tourist remarked:
why he does not look like a bad
man. He resembles our pastor"
But in the whisker period of the
Senate there never appeared a facial
adornment that approached the pic
turesque whiskers of j. Ham Lewis.
They were so ornamental that when
he was member Of the Senate he was
called, Pink Whiskers."
That son or grandson should be
elected to office as the result of the
achievements of his forebears is con-
trary to American traditions. Still the
Republic has had a great many what
might be called Political Families in
which sons and grandsons overcame
this prejudice. Frequently they be-
came more prominent than their fore
fathers.
In the early days Of the Republic

House in John and John Quincy. Will

liam Henry Harrison and his grand
son, Benjamin, in later period, came
from the middlewest to occupy the
| White House.
Frequently, In recent years, members
of the Senate and House have been
succeeded by their sons. James WaGs-
worth, ST., served for long term of
years in the House as member from
New York. He was one of the Cannon
leaders. His son, James Wadsworth,
Jr., was sent to the Senate and be-
came more prominent in national af-
fairs than his father. The son of
Former Representative Grant Mouser
| OF Ohio, now occupies the seat held by
his father. In this falls election, C.
F. Currey. Jr,, won against two Re
publicans and a Wemocrat by 5000
majority for seat in the California
delegation occupied by his late father.
Perhaps the most notable political
family is the Bankheads of Alabama.
For the second time this remarkable
family will hold seat in the Senate
and in the House. Representative W.
d. Bankhead was elected to the House
in 1917, while his father, John H., oc-
cupied seat in the Senate. The
elder Bankhead died while he was
member of the Upper House of Con-
gress, and this fall another son de-
feated the belligerent Tom Heflin in
the race for the Senate.
That the sons of Congressman do
not depend upon their family friends
and relatives to get into Congress is
illustrated by the late Representative
Morris E. Crumpacker of Oregon,
whose untimely death occurred in his
second term. His father, Edgar D.
Cruinpacker, served eight terms as
member from Indiana before his son
went west and acquired sufficient
prominence to be sent to Congress.
Tempestuous times are in prospect
in most Of the state legislatures where
the apportionment provides either a
decrease or an increase in the number
of members of the House of Repre-
sentatives. The trouble may start in
Congress this season when the Ap-
portionment Bill, as provided in the
recent census, comes up for consider
alton.
There are a great many budding
statesmen in the legislatures who have
visions of being promoted to seats in
Congress. Their ambitions are bound
to conflict in the gerrymandering of
the states in which there is change
in the number of members. Then the
party organizations will jockey for
division Of the states in order to gain
an advantage in electing members to
Congress. Efforts in this direction by
the party in control have frequently
had bareback
A Democratic Legislature of Ohio
gerrymandered William Mckinley out
of Congress. They hooked up the
county in which he resided with SO
many normally Democratic counties
that it was thought that it would be
impossible for him to succeed himself
in Congress. He was defeated, but by
such a narrow majority. that it made
him candidate for President. The
Democrats really made a martyr out
OF President Mckinley in this respect
which started his presidential boom.

WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER
BY E. B. Johns, Special WASH
ton Correspondent

Washington. D. C.-Not since the
period before the Civil War has there
been so much talk among the leaders
of both of the major parties of bolt
ing, If the National conventions of
the Republican and Democratic parties
were held at present, there would
probably be bolt of the dry delegates
from both parties. That is on the
assumption that both parties would
adopt wet platforms,
But the talk of split in the par
ties does not come from the dry
forces alone. Former Senator Wads-
worth Of New York, a wet leader and
a regular Of regulars, talked of boiling
in a recent interview. He did this
after Senator Fess of Ohio chairman
of the Republican National Commit
tee, declared that the Republican
party at its next National Convention
should come out unequivocally for the
Eighteenth Amendment and the Vol
stead Act.
The Democratic party in the North
is almost unanimously wet. 1t is
wetter than the Republican organiza-
ton. The strength of the dry forces
is principally in the Democratic South.
1t is going to be some task for the
Democratic leaders to harmonic the

APPLE PoMACE CONTAINS
SPLENDID FEED VALUE

Washington State College, Pullman
Apple ponace, heretofore a source
of worry to manufacturers of apple
cider, has become boon to dairy
men because of its splendid feed
value" states E. v. Ellington, head of
the State College department of dairy
husbandry.
THE pomace, which is the solid
residue left after the juice has been
pressed from the fruit. has long been
waste product. and its disposal has
meant a problem. Experiments now
have proved that the pomace is equal
pound for pound in feed value to corn
silage, and is very similar in its
chemical makeup. The pomace is
platable and may be fed at the same
rate as the silage; the apple product
should, however, be weighed OCCASION
ally because it is not as bulky as
silage; and is apt to be misleading as
to quantity.
ut is not necessary to build expen-
sive silos or other buildings In which
to store the pomace. 1t may be pre-
served in pits, rot cellars, or bins. Be-
cause it is SO heavy, it settles readily
and soon forms a natural seal several
inches thick over the entire surface.
This preserves the pomace almost in
definitely. Any nails or metal pre-
sent in the product will discolor it,
and consequently may be discovered
in feeding"

Slot Machines for Curb Parking
M~inneanoliS .IournaN


A New Yorker proposes to the New York Times that
curb parking be placed on a revenue producing basis. by
means Of slot machines. Probably there would be nickel
slots. and dime ones, and so on up, according to time
parked. on the model Of the pay telephone.
Sounds absurd? It Is only an evolution of the toll
principle, to which New York has committed itself
Of late, III its motor vehicle tubes under the river and
its latest bridge projects. The toll gate Of the middle
nineteenth century has come back to plague those who
want more service, in the form of costly roads and
bridges. The toll bridge IS not unknown in this part of
the country. though 1t will be found more numerously
elsewhere. The toll road is next In evolution.
The visionary who proposes slot machine parking may
have picked indirectly. the flaw in present street fl
nancing. 1t would be just as reasonable to levy q park
ing toll as it is to burden abutting property owners with
the whole cost Of paving the street in order that some
ohe else may be the larger user Of that street. Why
not . toll on everyone who drives q secondary street
that has been paved at the expense of frontage owners
alone?
This providing of public service at the expense, not of
the user. but Of someone else, comprises one OF the grow
ing problems Of cities. The cry for more service can
be met only by 2 quest for more revenue with which to
support that service. And here John Doe, taxpayer,
sMrS uneasily. The next minute, however, John Is crying
out. himself. for some other kind Of service, also at
public expense.
John Does way out is through better ways of rails
ing revenues. and more efficient use Of those revenues
that Is. better administration and better accounting
more honest worksand less waste motion.
In q minute we shall be talking politics.

An End of Pessimism

The universe Is on It's way to extinction, and there Is
no remote possibility that the process can be halted. So
says Sir James Jeans. secretary Of the British Royal
society, In the recently-issued annual report Of the
Smithsonian Institution.
This. OF course. Is far from being the first time that
q scientist Of international reputation has made this
statement. The thing has been said, now and again, for
q full century, and most literate people are thoroughly
famiiar with the fact. The interesting thing In this case
is the way 1t serves to underline the profound shift In
intellectual attitudes that Is taking place in the world.
When scientists first began to analyze the material
world. to estimate It's age and to make speculations
about the length Of time that remained to it. they en-
gendered . great wave Of pessimism. It was felt. by
thoughtful people. that these speculations and analyses
had baniahed God from the skies and hope from the hu.
man breast. The concept Of Z soulless mechAnistic uni
verse. far from being new. came into popularity q gen.
Grafton OF two ago and It was chiefly the work Of the
scientists that was responsible.
That attitude has colored human activities for a con-
siderable time. It has been especially important in
~lteraturs. Our highest honors afe reserved for men

"A COP and His Horse

It Is not at all hard to understand the attitude Of
that New York mounted policeman who. called to the
office of his superiors to be informed that he had been
promoted to the rank of detective. tried to decline the
honor and protested that he would much prefer to re-
main a mounted patrolman.
Being a detective Is very fine, and it brings in q bigger
salary, but the mounted policeman is one Of the few
remaining majestic, romantic and awe-inspiring figures
in metropolitan life today. The man on horseback has
always had an appeal. Nowadays, however, the mounted
policeman is the only man on horseback that many peo-
pie see in their whole lives. He cuts a gay figure in the
world, does the mounted cop; he is a Somebody, and it
must make his days brighter.
OF course, the detective is quite a man, too. But the
mounted policeman is in a class by himself. 1t is easy
to see why this New Yorker wanted to decline his promo
ton.

who assure US that man is an unimportant accident, be-
set by inscrutable natural forces that Illustrate his every
desire. It has been fashionable. in the intellectual world.
to be a deep-dyed pessimist,
But consider, now, this fact: Sir James Jeans, quoted
above, is not only one of the worlds ranking men Of
science: he is also one Of the leaders in a spirited revolt
against this dark-hued mechanstic theory. He sees the
material world going down to decay and death, but
he does not draw the same lesson from the spectacle.
Probably a new set Of values Is being brought Into the
world. The set under which we have lived during the
last few decades has proven woefully inadequate. Our
pessimism has not sustained us. Sir James is only one

Planters of Trees
Duluth, Herald)

Trees are felled by young men; they are planted by
old men. Attend a meeting of the horticultural society,
Of the men who are planting trees and cu~ltivating them
ana grating them and breeding them. You will find
very much the larger fraction of the members gray
haired. Nearly all of them are on the sunset side Of
life. Yet they are the planters Of trees.
To the young man the years seem very long. To wait
for a tree to grow seems impossible. They grow so slowly.
The old man has seen how fast they grow, how few
are the years until the seed becomes a thing of beauty
and of value. He sees his son or daughtr enjoying the
fruit, sheltered from the wind Of winter and from the
heat Of summer. For him the years pass quickly. The
trees grow fast.
st. Louis countys first considerable nursery, started
last spring with ten thousand blue spruce seedlings, Is
the project of a young man. He is; not yet a voter. He
has the vision Of an older man. Doubtless he has come
under the influence of graybeards. No, doubt he will be
astonished at how fast trees grow. And the older he
and they become. the faster. they will grow.
There is plenty Of room for more in the same bust
ness. It should appeal to young men.

A Scientist and Mosquitoes

1t is a wel-known fact that scientists endure much in
the quest for truth. However, the current Anomalies
magazine reveals the name of a scientist who seems to
have, surpassed practically all of his brothers in this mat
ter. He is DR.. William Rudolfs, and he makes a practice
of sitting alone in the swamps Of New Jersey ana letting
the mosquitoes bite him.
Dr.. Rudolfs is out to find a good lotion to foil mosqui-
toes. He smears one hand with the lotion he is testing
and leaves the other bare, goes and sits among the mos
quitoes for an evening, and then contrasts the number
of bites on each hand. All in all, he has spent hundreds
of hours at this game, and has accumulated nobody
knows how many mosquito bites.
For genuine endurance, this b~enefactor seems to take
the prize. If anything can be more maddening than
continued assaults by hungry mosquitoes. it is hard to
imagine what it may be. More power to DIR. Rudclfs!

Parrots and Profanity

The profane st. Louis parrot, who lost his good home
In a ZOO because Of his bad language and who finally
got a new home with a New Yorker who didn't object
to a little swearing, managed to get, it seems to us,
rather less attention than he deserved.
1t is quite understandable that q ZOO, frequented by
children and by ladies Of gentle birth, could have none
of such a bird. Zoos, after all, have certain standards
to maintain. But in a general way, it is hard to see why
anyone should object to a parrots profanity.
Parrots, after all, are supposed to swear. They are,
by tradition, the pets of sailors; and sailors have salty
and unusual vocabularies, which they impart quite
naturally to their parrots. A parrot who cusses is only
following his appointed path; he is. in other words. a
normal, regular parrot. It is the parrot, who does not
swear who falls short Of the parrot standards.
