on the subject. Not only is there lack
of enforcement funds, but the difncul-
ties in the way of enforcement, with q
punitive tax against growers who at
tempt to sell more than their allotted
quotas, are too great to be met.
This potato-control item was added
to one of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
mended measures in the course OF its
passage through Congress. 1t was not
of Itself an inspiration from Cup the
street." 1t was, like that Of the naughty
little girl who misbehaved at o party,
the Gown idea" of one or group Of law
makers, abetted by q suficient support
to get the amendment adopted.
So large a part of the legislation
enacted during the past two sessions
of Congress has been conceived by the
administration that in the public mind
at present the process Of law making
has been altogether altered from that
provided by the Constitution, which set
up q legislative branch Of the Govern
ment distinct from the law-enforcing
branch. So it was quite natural that the
notion spread that the potato-control
law was proposed to Congress from
somewhere else. This led to the i'm
preston, when the absurdities Of the
new law became evident, that the ad-
ministration was glad to find q reason
for non-enforcement in the lack of funds
due to the failure of the third deficiency
bill, killed by the Long filibuster. Now
it appears that that impression is in
correct. The administration does not
like the law and does not want to en-
force it. and will not try to enforce it.
Still, it is an act of Congress. What
would have been the case if there were
no lack of furds? Would the law have
been shelved Just the same?

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

small personal notes, the joyous task they
seemed to have been to men and women
of the older days, we usually put letter
writing of as long as possible, with the
hope that maybe no answer will be nee
essary. Then when we no longer can
get out of it something of shame over
comes us and we write III q cramped hand
and as little as possible.
How can q letter reflect much except
hurry under such circumstances.
1t Is no wonder that modern letter
writing as an art does not amount to
anything.
1t seems to have been different in the
old days.
They did not have as much to occupy
them, undoubtedly. Their amusements
did not come slithering into their homes
invisibly. They did not have the clamor
of modern publicity to make for dissatis-
faction with the simple things.
Therefore 1t must have been a real
treat to sit down at q neat desk, with
plenty of good paper and ink and sealing
wax, and indite in q fair hand the
thoughts which came to mind untram-
meled except by the good repressions Of
those times.
The very spirit of the seal and sealing
wax no doubt makes 1t a leisurely occu-
patton.
Those of us today who rattle thoughts
of on typewriters have only to go back
for time to pen and ink to see shortly
that the slower the physical writing, as
such, the more complete the mental
action between the lines.
That iS univ q Uraat rnanv Y1orc0nc still
insist on outlining what they want to
say in pencil before they touch typewriter.
Speed is not confined to the highway.
but makes its way even to the quietest
desk.
Sealing a letter, fortunately, is not a
job to be undertaken lightly nor in a
hurry.
Usually nowadays 1t is confined to let
tiers which are to be sent to those the
sender thinks would appreciate the little
extra courtesy.
Because letter seal is indeed cour-
tesy to the receiver. 1t means that he
or she was held to be one who under
stands the amenities.
A seal on letter to person who does
not even notice it is throwing pearls
before swine.
Seals should be kept. and almost always
are, for those correspondents who natu-
rally have an instinct for the best, who
receive pleasure out of good paper and
penmanship and especially from the
thoughts contained in the writing.
4
The very formality of a seal says prep
aration.
1t will be held "too much trouble" by
many, and no one would quarrel with
them.
Those who have the time and the in
clination-and the seal-will do well to
continue to use it, at least upon occasion.
1t bespeaks the mind filled with more
than just the fulhllment of a duty, as
important as that is.
The seal ties ancient times to the very
latest moment in pleasant, courteous
way, without ostentation. but at the same
time with a very firm reminder that the
user knows thing or two.

However it may be about Sealing wax
and kings" there can be no doubt about

However It may be about Sealing wax
and kings" there can be no doubt about
the former.
The use Of wax with a seal is still q
pleasant amenity in letter writing.
Unfortunately, 1t seems to have SUI
fered an eclipse, at least temporarily.
No doubt it will come back again, and
then every letter will be adorned on the
back with q red splotch Of wax.
Red, of course, has been the favorite
color for centuries, not only on letters,
but in all sorts of sealing.
Court seals were and still are done In
bright red wax.
Old seals on college diplomas are bright
red, though the men who earned them
are gone.
We were reminded of seals by the
| receipt of letter on which one had been
used.
1t was of q coat Of arms, bearing q
horseshoe, with crown above.
The signet had been pressed down on
the melted wax, leaving these impress
sions very clearly.
In the midst Of O busy day 1t was
pleasant to receive letter SO carefully
| prepared. Surely, when a letter writer
goes to that extra trouble 1t shows that
| the miSsive has some thought put on 1t
While family seals are perhaps best fol-
| such usage, there is no reason in the world
! why the entire gamut of life's occupa-
| tionS, and especially life'S enthusiasts
might not be run in seals.
Nor is there any need Of sticking to
deep red.
If one were a victim Of the aquatic
hobby and fancied the use of the angel
fish on his seal, he ought to make use OF
| pale blue or green wax.
What could make better letter seal
for a tropical fish enthusiast than the
angel?
That royal creature, with its unbe-
| lievably odd shape. its extended dorsal
| fin and its queer 'feelers," would strike
| q note of distinction on any letter.
No doubt it could be localized a bit
and simplifled for seal usage without
losing any of its distinction.
One of the fine things about the letter
seal, it has always seemed TO us, is the
distinctiveness Of it.
Despite the fact that sealing letters
is as old as the hills. literally, and equally
open to any one with the price. few per-
sons indulge in it.
Surely it is great deal of bother, OF
| trouble, in the vernacular.
Sometimes 1t seems as if everything
worth while Is trouble to some one
| One is reminded of the old story of the
mountain boy who watched the visitor
to the cabin make his morning toilet
You are a great deal O. trouble to yer
self, amt We, miSter?" he finally said.
Life is that way at certain times fol
| all of us.
The mere everyday usages at times
strike us all, even with the best of inten-
tons, as something tiresome and bore
some, to be got over and finished as soor
as possible.

No Potato Control.

When is law not law? There are
various answers. One of them is when
the Supreme Court rules that it is un-
constitutional. Another is when the adj
ministration lacks the funds for its en-

administration does not wish to en-
force it.
The potato-control law is not going
to be enforced. That was definitely
stated yesterday by the Secretary Of
Agriculture. There seems to be no doubt

Human Sympathy.

And of the iron fish
Invaded sea and sky again
When glory" was his wish.
When victory came in sky or sea
His folk were overjoyed,
But in defeat they scowled, since he
Was viSibly annoyed.
While one crowd came in ruthless rage
Another crowd to slay
A cruel line on history's page
Was traced from day to day.
His heart beneath a uniform
This line must surely touch,
The chieftain in his palace warm
Was worried very much.

The Republican leaders continue to
insist that there must be no talk of
candidates. If they keep that kind of
thing up long enough the people may
come to believe that there are no Re-
publican candidates worthy of the name.
The sooner strong Republican contest
ants for the presidential nomination be-
come widely known to the people the
better chances Of success for the party,
There is theory now advanced by
some of the older leaders in the G. o. p.
organization that the thing to do is to
send lot Of favorite-son candidates
to the next national convention, so that
no candidate may stand in dominant
position. Their theory is that then the
Republican delegates to the convention
may get together and, after full and free
consideration, nominate the best man. The
chances are, however, that II the con-
vention opens with plethora of favor.
ite-son candidates to make it possible
to tie up the convention, deadlock it,
on the question of the presidential NOM
ination. And when such q deadlock
comes it is not the general mass Of the
delegates to the convention which makes
the selection of the compromise candi-
date, but a small group of dominant
leaders. That group gets the man it
believes will stand for policies in which
the group believes. When q small group
has nominated a candidate it can also
look to him for favors. From that angle
this favorite son candidate idea for the
next Republican national convention
does not look so attractive. It might
easily lead to another 1920 convention,

emerged as the party's choice after a
group of the leaders had come to their
