financial men prophesy, prosperity
is just ahead, why the delay?
These are the questions that the
laboring people in general would like
made clear to them.
Some claim it is overproduction
1t seems to me that overproduction
would be when all demands are full
filled. and then a surplus left. Then
it would be time to stop and con-
sumo the surplus, but that isn't the
case at present.
There isn't a laboring man but
who wants radio, automobile,
good furniture, and home. There
never was time when people
wanted more than they do now.
Some may claim there is not buy
ing power. 1 agree, but how can it
be otherwise when the buying power
of the country is stripped of its
labor, which is its buying power.
If all industries could start bust
ness, putting all men back to work,
limiting their labor to hours that
will keep within the limit of pro-
duction, with no reduction of
wages, or If anything, an increase,
the problem would be solved. The
laboring man is not the man to
hoard money. He is the one who
keeps it circulating, enabling more
men to pay bills and buy merchan-
disc.
He doesn't want charity. He wants
chance to earn a little more than
just an existence, something to work
for, hope for. There is nothing to
look forward to in charity.
Why should we, the laboring
people, have to sit down and see our
families go hungry and cold? See
the things that we have made sacri-
fees for in better times, in lots of
cases almost paid for, taken from
us, and finally reduced to the worst
Of poverty?
Is there no way to start the wheels
of industry and put us back where
We belong?

Who'll Run the Show?
THE great quarrel in this country

THE great quarrel in this country
i right now is not between con-
servatives and progressives, So
called, but over the question of
whether a commercial oligarchy and
it's henchmen shall run the show.
Far more has happened than
would be the case had some reac-
tionaries merely fallen out with
Senator Norris over principles Of
statecraft.
The political transforming is lit
tie more than press agent stuff for
certain vested interests who want
Norris out of the way, and who
have several other victims in mind.
The Shibboleth may be party 10y
atty, but it was Matched by those
more concerned with their own
ledgers than with public interest.

1. BY what power is the earth
held suspended in space?
2. Is it not true that the same
power that keeps the earth in its
state of stable equilibrium is the
same power that holds objects to
the earth? Or rather, that prevents
them from taking leave of the
earth?
g. Is not this a power of resist
ance? A power of repulsion from
without, and not power of attrac-
ton from within the earth?
4. Suppose we place an object
weighing 100000 tons on top of
the earth, and another object of
the same proportions Numerically
opposite on the other side or bot
tom of the earth. Then suppose
that the earth were to instantly and
completely disappear from between
them.
What would be the conduct of the
two objects?

An Agricultural Revolution
Has Taken Place in This
Country Since the Civil
War.
DETWEEN the Civil war and the
ID present, the United States has
gone through an agricultural
revolution. according to Professor
Louis Bernard Schmidt Of Iowa
State college.
We are so accustomed to dwelling
upon the tremendous changes in
technology and city life ushered in
by the twentieth century. that we
sometimes lose sight of the equally
profound changes in rural life
The transformations through
which the United States has been
passing since 1860 are so varied. so
far-reaching, and so profoundly
significant that the historian is
justified in assigning to this period
OF our history place Of Importance
second to none of the many CORE
spending epochs of time in the pre-
ceding centuries" Professor Schmidt
says.
1T is an era of great complexity.
a challenge to the student of Amer
lean development.
The dominant fact in American
history during this period is the
triple economic revolution which be-
gan its protean changes in England
during the latter part of the
eighteenth century and extended to
the continent of Europe and the
United States in the nineteenth
century.
Agriculture was transformed
from a simple pioneer, and largely
self suficing occupation into a mod
ern business organized on
scientific, capitalistic, and com
mercial basis; capustry definitely
underwent the change from hand
labor in the home to machine pro-
duction in the factory and the local
market was transformed into the
world market"

DEWEYS BIRTHDAY
December rs
an Dec. 26, 1887, George Dewey,
~ an American naval officer,
famed for destroying the Spanish
Asiatic fleet in the Spanish-Amer-
lean war, was born in Montpelier,
VT.
After graduation from the
United States Naval Academy in
1858. he began active service on
the Mediterranean station. On his
return he participated in several
Civil war engagements under Far
ragut.
In 1898, at the outbreak Of the
war with Spain, Dewey, then a
commodore, was appointed to the
command of the Asiatic station.
On May he destroyed the Span
ish fleet at Manila bay without the
loss Of a man in his own feet.
In recognition Of this achieve
ment, he was appointed rear adj
miral and was honored especially
by congress. He later co-operated
in the capture of Manila.
He received an enthusiastic re-
ception on his return to the United
States and in the same year was
made admiral of the navy He is
the only officer who ever has held
that rank. a

A MONG the most irritating of
L n the substances which affect the
skin is water. This does not mean
that one at once should discontinue
bathing or washing the face and
the hands.
1t is recognized that distilled wa
ter is slightly acid in reaction and
that ordinary tap water is usually
slightly alkaline.
If water contains too little salt
material in solution, it deprives the
cells of their salts; if it contains too
much salt material, it is irritating,
and leads to collection of fluid in
the cells.
Hard waters are Objectionable to
the skin for such reasons.
Strong acid substances burn the
skin, whereas weak acid substances
have an astringent effect. Burns
by acids occur constantly among
people who work with them, such
as plumbers and workers in galva-
nizing and tin plate factories.
Nitric acid is much used in the
manufacture of explosives. The
most widely used acid in industry is

One of the Finest

r do not agree with Senator Norris
J. on many things, but am willing
to take off my hat to him as one of
the finest, straightest, and most
courageous men who ever occupied
seat in the United States senate.
The Republican party only makes
trouble for itself in attempting to
put such a man out, especially by
underhand methods.
In the first place, Senator Norris
stands too well with the people of
Nebraska; in the second, the political
philosophy which he exemplifles
stands too well with the American
people.
No doubt the regulars imagine
they are consolidating their strength
when they support Lucas, but they
are not. They are only making
war medicine for the Democrats.

Questions and
Answers

What is the temperature at the
poles? which pole is the coolest?
The lowest temperature at the
north pole is about so degrees be-
low zero. At the south pole the
temperature is frequently so to 70
degrees below zero during the
southern winter. The south pole
is generally colder than the north
pole, due to its very considerable
elevation above sea level.
How. many vessels composed the
German high seas feet that was
sunk at Scapa Flow in 1919?
There were nine battleships, five
battle cruisers, seven light cruisers,
and fifty destroyers. The crews
opened the seacocks and while the
men took to the small boats and
rowed toward the shore, most of the
great battleships, except the Baden,
and numerous smaller craft, sank
slowly beneath the waves.
Where were the earliest news
papers in the United States pub
lished?
The earliest newspaper, Public
Occurrences, was issued in Boston,
Mass, in 1890. 1t was a small
quarto sheet, having one page blank,
and was suppressed by the Governor
for containing reflections Of a very
high nature" The next was the
Boston Newsletter. 1704, first con-

When Norris Bolted HooUer
He Did 1t Openly; When
Lucas Bolted Norris He Did
So IN the DARK.

HOUSTON, Tex, Dec. 26.-Christ-
Il l. mas brought no truce in the
Norris-Lucas controversy. Neither
will New Years, Washington's birth
day, or next summer, even though
prosperity should return.
Here is something that goes deep,
not only because Of its possible ef-
feet on politics in the immediate fu-
ture, but because Of the ethical prin-
ciples involved.
Here we have independence versus
the brass collar; a. progressive
against the, old guard; machine rule
cracking the party whip, with con-
science as its excuse.
To say that Norris and Lucas
committed the same offense because
each bolted the Republican ticket
in favor of a Democratic candidate
is to tell, not half truth, but a
90 per cent lie.
1t is not what they did, but the
way they did it that counts.
