Political World Awaits BOrah's Word on
The Opposing Presidential Candidates

ditiOnally to entertain q sympathetic
view of certain features of the equal
ization fee" plan which Mr.. Borah
vehemently denounced in 1928
Mr.. Roosevelt says that his ideal
plan Of farm relief" must finance it
self" Mr.. Borah's export debenture"
plan does not finance itself. 1t proposes
that on exports of given agricultural
commodities there should be issues OF
"debentures" which could be used in
payment Of duties on imports. Such use
would diminish the cash received by the
Federal Government in its customs
houses 1t would diminish tin the
bill introduced into the Senate last
Spring-by $14e 000,0 600. That s146.-
000,00 would be the Governments con-
tribution to the financing of Mr.. Borah's
export debenture" plan of farm re-
lief"
Mr. Roosevelt, on the other hand
manifestly leans toward the so-called
"self-supporting" methods involved in
either the equalization fee" plan or the
domestic allotment" plan of farm re-
lief" His specifications of his deal plan
a: Topeka were essentially satisfactory
to the supporters Of both OF those plans.
The American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion fayors the equalization fee" plan
The Farmers Union in many localities
favors the domestic allotment" plan.
Those are the two principal general
farm organizations in the West Mr.
Roosevelt has pleased them both. At
the same time it is manifest that he
has not pleased Mr.. Borah. The per-
son to whom he has given the most
pleasure is Mr. George N. Peek, the
author of the equalization fee" plan,
who says that Mr.. Roosevelt's Topeka
speech is the greatest farm speech ever
made and who thus indirectly expresses
a very different opinion of Mr.. Borahs
1928 Kansas City convention speech. IN
which he denounced the equalization
fee" plsn as a menace to the welfare
of the American farmer.
These considerations, when combined
and accumulated. may throw some light
on Mr. Borah's present edition of the
quadrennial internal struggle through
which he arrives at his policies toward
the candidates for the presidency They
may throw some light. but at the same
time they may not throw determining
light. 1t is quite possible for Mr.. Borah
to come forward and announce his
policies on the ground of arguments
which never before had occurred to
anybody
The only thing that seems impossible
in Mr.. Borah's case is that he should
let the campaign come to a close with
out influencing it with his eloquence
and with his convictions. Washington
calculates surely not that he will say
this or that, but only that presently

Already Elected.

A candidate for Office must always
manifest in public confidence in his
own success in his appeal to the
voters. In his addresses he must
give his hearers credit for possessing
sufficient common sense to recognize
his superior ability and to avail them
selves of the benefit of his services.
That is a fundamental principle of
campaigning. To express any doubt
of victory, on the score Of the public S
incapacity to think correctly, is to in
vite disaster on election day
1t was doubtless in accord with that
elementary precept of candidature that
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt OF New York,

what their needs and thoughts are, SO
that when I go into the Whlte house
on the 4th of next March I will have
first-hand knowledge.
In the same vein of assurance, nav
ing thus disclosed the fact that 1t is as
President-elect and not merely as Pres
ident-prospective that he is touring the
Western States, Gov. Roosevelt went

words:

try wants frequently, instead OF Waltlng

minimum section of ito find out what
it wants, so that when the formalltles
OF vote casting and counting and can
vassing and administrative organization
and inauguration are concluded he will
know what to do. 1t may be asked
whether he should not carry his research
further, go into other States than those
that have been chosen for this survey
of needs, of course regardless of the
fact that their electoral votes will be
essential to success in November. and
learn about the requirements and de-
sires Of all the people instead Of those
of one section.
Would it not be advisable, inasmuch
as this is not a vote seeking but need
hunting tour, for the prospective Presi-
dent to save his strength and eschew
speechmaking, to listen to representa-
tive voices instead Of projecting his
own into the ears of the already salts
fled voters? Unless the prospective
President, now surveying the already
won West, fears the confusion that
would arise were all comers to his recep-
tions to vent their wishes on economic
and social, financial and international
questions of present moment. There may
be wisdom in taking the initiative and
telling the people what they want at
the same time that they are assured
that they will get it as soon as possible
after March next.

floor way Of living Is the only one that
brings consistent compensations, happi-
ness and peace. We are bound to be-
lieve that his observation has large
value, and that 1t Is in conSonance with
the teachings of the great Master. That
Christ had philosophy of life, and a
practical one. is clearly evident as one
studies His teachings. He related the
spiritual to the physical and the physi-
cal to the spiritual, and reckoned always
with the needs of those to whom He
ministered. He made 1t clear that the
essential toll and drudgery of life, its
pain and sorrow. could only be Hghtened
and softened as men came to under
stand LIES true purpose and design.
In every contact He had with men and
women He sought to ease their burdens
by broadening their horizons and quick
ening their aspirations. Well does Able

teacher CT religion has ever sought to
make the scheme of life more helpful

what was in man"-his every impulse,
his every desire. his every weakness, as
we'll as his potential strength. He
sought to remove hindrances from his
path, to stir his latent capacities, to
quicken his zeal; In fine, to make him
see and understand the meaning of the
abundant life" Some day the world
will rightly appraise Christ; some day
men will SO regulate their habits, so

Am bassad0r Won Prittwitz.

1t will be Q cause of genuine regret
in official and unofIicial Washington II
Berlin reports Of Ambassador Won
Prittwitz's impending retirement turn
out to be true. The cables intimate
that he Is about to fall victim to the
ak which Baron Won Neurath Is
welding throughout the German diplo-
matte service and which, before he is
through swinging it. Is to end in the
decapitation of the German Ambassa-
dors to London. Paris and Rome, as
well as Washington.
If DR.. von Prittwitz's professional
head Is to roll in the sand, the cause
OF his fate will not rebound to his
discredit. OF the noblest Prussian
miiitarist extraction and scion Of a
family which served the old imperial
regime long and loyalty in the fields
OF both war and peace, Ambassador
Won Prittwitz promptly became a con-
vinced Republican when Germany threw
off the Hohenzollern garb. He identi-
fled himself with the school of inter-
national thought which the late Gustav
Stresemann personified and was a
fa"orite Of that lamented statesman. To
that circumstance, Berlin dispatches
narrate. Dr. Won Prittwitz apparently
owes his diplomatic downfall. He does
not fit sufficiently into the picture that
-militarist Berlin now pre-
sents to most of the outside world as
governmental Germany
Though the rancors of war long since
departed from German-American rela-
tions, the position Of the Reich's envoy
at Washington has not always been
bed of roses Whatever his present
superiors in the Wilhelmstresse think
about him, DR.. Won Prittwitz would
leave the United States with the repu-
tation OF having served his country
faithfully end effectively here under
conditions which periodically bristled
with difficulties. The urbane and skill
full young statesman will quit the en-
bassy in Massachusetts, avenue with a
wealth of American good wishes and a
cordial "auf wiedersehen."

In His every teaching and attitude He

end in view. He did not attempt to

Recently we read charming book by
the distinguished French abbe, Dimnet,
What We Live By" The book Is full
of wisdom, and answers many Of the
inquiries that have come in our age.
Its whole purpose is to give finer out

provide a formula for daily habit and
practice that shall give satisfaction and
wholesome enjoyment to those who fol-
low it. In a striking passage in the
preface Able Dimnet says: I'VE are

Downstairs goes on what has too evi-
dent a claim to the painful label, ordi-
nary Upstairs we have q different out

We know perfectly we'll when and how
we can be upstairs and when and how
we linger downstairs" He then pro-
vides chart which graphically sets
forth the thoughts and practices in
which we indulge in our two-storied
building. He makes 1t quite evident
that it Is as easy to live on the upper
levels as on the lower 1t is only
matter of the will, and he affirms that
intention is the soul of action" If
we definitely set ourselves to live on the
upper floor, we become so habituated to
the practice that it becomes our normal
habit. BY the same rule, II we will to
live on the lower floor we form habit
that is difficult to break and that in
evitably ends in dSillusionment and
disappointment. There Is nothing i'm
practical in the abbe's suggestion. He
does not fail to recognize the necessity
for doing that which is commonplace
and essential. On the other hand, he
insists land we believe with reason)
that proper recognition of the two
