Alexander Legge.

Alexander Legge, chairman of the
Federal Farm Board that was set up
In the Hoover administration, president
of the International Harvester Co. and
one Of the great builders of American
industrialism of the first quarter of the
century, is dead. Mr.. Legges career
carried him from a farm in Dane
County, Wis, to the great cities and
capitals of the world And yet during
his entire life his interest lay primar-
lily in agriculture, in the American
farm. While the United States was
engaged in the World War, his services
were demanded by the late President
Wilson. Mr.. Legge became first the
director Of industrial mobilization, and
later the directing force in the War
Industries Board and was in charge
OF all munitions shipped abroad to
American and allied forces. When the
armistice was signed Mr.. Legge served
President Wilson as economic expert
at the Versailles Peace Conference. At
the close of the conference he resumed
his duties as executive of the Interna-
tional Harvester Co., which were again
to be broken into when he was drafted
by former President Hoover to become
the first head of the Federal Farm
Board.
Since 1929, when Mr.. Legge became
head of the Federal Farm Board,
much water has run over The dam.

In view Of the failure of a similar
conference of representatives from II
Northeastern States to achieve any sub
stantial results last month in Harris
burg, Pa, it is particularly gratifying
that the Midwest motor vehicle confer
ence, which has Just ended In DeS
Moines, Iowa, did succeed In reaching
several agreements, designed to elirui-
nate Inequalities and annoyances r4nst
beset interstate traffic relations In this
part Of the country. The most impor-
tant OF these agreements is one in
tended to end all tag wars" by q re-
ciprocal undertaking on the part of
the IL States represented at Des MoineS
to recognize each others pleasure car
and truck licenses for the whole 12-
month period for which the plates are
issued.
This general reciprocity agreement,
approved by the conferees from Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska,
Iowa, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio. Indiana,
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota,
provides sensible solution of a prob
lem that has arisen out of the existing
system OF State jurisdictioES.

ley's father was dean of the Capitals
theater managers when he turned over
his responsibilities to his son, who in
turn became the nestor of the profess
sion at the Cepital. The record of
these two, father and son, spans we'll
nigh two-thirds of a century. Within
that span occurred a series of great tri-
umphs of stage and theater. To their
house in Washington came the mighty
ones of the boards, came plays that
made dramatic history. Through the
doors of their theater poured great
streams of people, literally millions in
all the time covered by these two man
agements, and these included the Ma
tion's leaders, from Presidents to legis-
latorS, statesmen and diplomats, repre-
Sentatives of all lands. 1t was a great
privilege that thus befell the Rapley
managers. father and son, to be hosts
to such audiences, for such a length of
time. Not only was Harry Rapley, as
the late manager of the National was
best known to the public, the eldest Of
the local controllers of places of pub
lie entertainment, but he was the dean
of American theatrical managers. He
had seen a long procession Of them
pass, in all the cities, a procession sadly
dwindling in number as the later years
took their heavy toll upon the business
of presenting the Legitimate" drama
upon the boards with the actors par
ticipating in person, the realism of
dramatic presentation and not the il
lusion that has been brought to such a
high state of mechanical development

doubtless serve bath countries to bet
ter advantage"
I'VE predict" says the Salt Lake
Deseret News, that President Roosevelt
will very soon recognize the Grau San
Martin government. There are several
simple reasons. One is that, however
repugnant power may be that is based
on mutiny, vet President Ramon San
Martin has now held his perilouS posi-
ton since September 10. and has put
down several attempted revolutions. The
second is that unless stability is as
sured soon. in the opinion of Secretary
of the Treasury Despaigne, Cuba will
default before the end of the year on
her foreign debt The third is more
important than either. The sugar mills
are due to start grinding next month,
and unless order is established, few
proprietorS will be daring enough to
order the cutting and grinding of the
cane. On the sugar output depends the
economic structure of Cuban life, and
President Roosevelt, who has a deep
sympathy for the problems Of the little
republic, will not let a sugar catas-
trOphe descend on 1t as a result Of with
holding recognition
Americans will continue to believe
aCCOTQlnB 10 Int 6altlIn0Tt 6UnI THAT
the Cuban problem will be approached
Grau San Martin proves his ability to
control the situation. his recognition
will soon follow" The Charleston Eve
ming Post contends that whoever oc-
cupieS the executive palace at Havana
is the President of Cuba and should be
accepted as such by Washington" The
Chicago Daily News is of the opinion
that the declaration that Washington
stands ready to recognize any govern
ment which demonstrates itself repre-
sentative of its people and able to Sc
cure their support should command
favor throughout Latin America" The
Asbury Park Evening Press is con-
vinced that ito judge by the progress
that he has made without cooperation
from Washington, Grau is approaching
the political stability that the economic
recovery of the island demands"
Good faith on the part of President
Roosevelt in pan-American affairs is
atteSted by the Jersey City Journal, with
the further comment: Surely. with
the graceful presence of the United
States delegation at Montevideo, and
with Mr.. Welles in Washington and
Mr.. Roosevelt in supreme command OF
the situation. there is reason to expect
that the result of the pan-American
conference will be just as desired. The
first and necessary preliminary to trade
agreements should have been convinc-
ingly demopstrated by now; We desire to
be friends. The conference itself should
result in cementing that friendship in
a renewed determination to make pan
American trade and diplomacy mutually
profitable and cordial"

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

way of all sounds, fated to be born, but
| to disappear.
Music is made of the same stuff.
Imagine. if you can, a group of cautious
musicians, attempting to play a great
symphony.
The score calls for a violent outburst
OF scurrying sixteenth and thirty-sec-
ond notes, but our timid musicians are
afraid, they may break down, and re-
veal their lack of preparation for SO
hurried flight so they refuse to play
in such manner, contenting them
selves with the substitution of placid
eighth notes.
Every listener would call them foolish
musicians, who knew not their parts,
but few stop to consider that many a
person at middle-age is cast in exactly
the same sort of role.
He casts himself, rather. Either be-
cause the forces of life become too much
for him. or gathering clouds along the
way warn him Of possible dangers in
any event he tightens up, becomes
| quite reserved.
He never stops any more for those
| little condolences in the every day life
which once displayed a complete faith
| in his fellow man.
| The fellow man may be the one to
blame, but the other has lost some
thing, has he not?
The young man often wonders while
! the oldsterS make so much over his
| happy state, as they call it, but as he
| grows older himself he comes to under
stand more fully what it is all about.
He sees that the treasures of his
NJ en- mil h fnFrC C
ways, not so much physical as mental
| daringS.
| He realizes that his general attitude.
In those far days, was more generous,
more open. less suspicious, less fearful
| of what might happen to him.
| The justice of his cause was every
thing, IN those days. he expected other
persons to agree with him, if he could
convince them that he was right.
Then he found out that. in many
cases. they would not be convinced, even
when they knew he was right, even
when they knew he knew he was right,
/ even when they knew that he knew
! that they knew he was right!

So he began to freeze up, poor fellow.

The trouble with candor was that it
hurt the feelings" as they said, of
many persons.
The fault with enthusiasm was that
/ it commonly took no account of ex-
| pediency, and to very many persons, he
discovered. expediency was the great
| Rule Of Life.
~ ***
What was he to do them
Should he relinquiSh all that he once
! thought fine?
Should he give in entirely to the law
| Of bread and butter?
So he cast around for what to do,
evidently, and the first and nearest
thing he could see to do was to stop
talking to every one. stop being free and
easy in all his contacts, stop regarding
| every one as his friend.
He began to look around him, and
| quickly saw that a multitude Of per-
sons evidently had come to exactly the
same conclusion. And he saw. too, that
most of them had fat stomachs, and,
! he suspected. were beginning TO have
fat heads, too.

grief to the great number of those who

is the sense of loss. Then there is the
realization that this native Washing

long enough to see the stage pass from
its high estate as an institution Of pub
