It is not the “radical reds” who elected these men to office, but the people who comprise the great masses of the nation. The ‘“radical reds” could no more elect i men to-office than could the “Radical Cap- ! italist” without the help of the masses of common people, The masses are guided by the pledges made through party leaders and independ- ent office seekers and vote as their convic- tion dictates. - If the elected ones fail to make good their promises, the next time election comes around, out they go. The voters are “stabbing” here and there, go- ing from one extreme to the other in an ef- fort to find relief and will continue to do this until the relief they, seek is forthcom- ing. ‘When we look things squarely :n the i face, we must admit that much of our leg- il islation has been comprise legislation. Our | partisan politicians have traded this for that, in order to make a showing at home 3 always taking the best bargain available and coming back to seek a still better barg- ain next time. A few have insisted on de- manding the whole loaf and accepting no compromises with a result that they have secured little if any legislation that they favro. What has been the result. We now have enough laws on our statutes to govern the whole world. As someone has said, “we ought to elect a congress that will take some of the laws off of our records instead of putting any more on.” Perphaps there would be little more harm in this than in rambling on and on with compromise laws. The result is that we get a conglomora- tion of laws with measures provided to en- force only half of them. The election if it means anything, seems in its broader aspects to indicate a strong swing toward liberalism. Nothing like it has been seen since 1912. Issues between the Republican and Democratic parties had nothing to do with it. The Democrats raised no vital issues, such issues as moved masses of voters were endorsed by neither party and entered the campaign only as | ' £ the individual views of certain candidates ,,,,,,, g and campaginers. i ‘A’ significant result is the probability i that LaFallotte, Shipstead, Brookhart of have the balance of power in the Senate with the Badger Sclon as leader. They form the most advanced progressive—some say radical—group that ever held seats in the United States Senate at one time. The old parties, whose conservative leaders hold their organizations in hand, rather than win elections by liberal con- cessions cannot and perhaps will not read the handwriting on the wall. Doubtless advocates of a new national party will proceed with their plans, be- % i Jowa and Frazier of North Dakota will { | e . throughout the entire Hipited; ‘test of Christian character is that.

One of the best ways to: do» this- is to, secure one or two good books for the home. Place the book, Where the child can read it, If you permit the child to read literature of his own choice altogether, it is a danger- ous proceedure. What the child reads to- day, is of the greatest importance. They usually get something out of what they read. It is either good or bad and by tact- ful guidance the parents can persuade the child to read the kind of literature that will prove valuable to him in after life. When you make the child read a book he does not want to read, you at once prejudice him against it. He recalls the days of castor oil and other objectional medicines. Get him interested in the book first by reading parts of it to him. Make h;m interested, so that he will want more of it. By starting the child in with the proper kind of reading, the kind that is good for him and the kind that he will like, will do much for his future pleasure and satis- faction. Get a good book for that boy or girl this week, The local dealers will help you choose the book that will build char- acter and a desire for better books. | . “I CAN EXPLAIN” AT THE SAY IT Say It. That is good. The uttered word should not be witheld. Many a man has been af- forded strength to complete a most dis- couraging labor by a simple word of cheer at a critical moment. Say it. Say it with flowers. ) That is better. Flowers have a language all their own. They are words painted in God’s own colors. And- the fragrance thereof so speaks to the heart that the darkest prospect assumes a glow. Say it with flowers. Say it with flour, ‘Ah! Here’s the acme .of gentility. I was an hungered and ye gave me meat. The James’ definition of “pure religion and un- defiled.” To say it with flour, to pour out of one’s own to lessen pain and hunger; to shave of one’s surplus to help fill the lack of others; to, as far as in us lies, strive to accomplish the prophecy of Isaiah; Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low. Say it with flour.—N. W. Advocate. §—8 NO BANK FAILURES In Wisconsin, where diversified farming is practiced universally and where there have been no bank failures for five years, the total value of all farm property is $2,677,000,000. The income of Wisconsin farmers last year is estimated at $500,000,000 by “The Wisconsin Agriculturist.” This was a return of 18.6 per cent on the total investment in farm lands, buildings, and equipment. — PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES John G. Shedd, head of Marshall Field & Company when I asked him what poli- cies he had followed in building up the foremost dry goods enterprise in the world replied: “If you have right principles, your policies will take care of themselves.” If we take sufficient pains to lay the right kind of foundations, the results are likely to take care of themselves, are they not?—B.
