Reformers would bring a lot of these laws back into play today. If these two are included, think of this: If a youngster fell down on Sunday, hurt it- self and cried, mother couldn't kiss “the place that hurts” until the next day! And imagine Tom, Dick and Harry getting out their drum, trumpet and jew’s-harp to | play “Open Up the Windows, Let the Sunshine: In,” on a quiet Sabbath!

Ten years ago less than 46 per cent were in cities. Forty years ago the percentage of] pers of congress drift into the lobby trade, and rural population was 70.5. All this has frightened some easily scared souls. and tremble with each rustling of the census leaf. But unduly ‘so. There are not as many persons needed on the farms. Farm machinery has reduced the de- mand for human hands. One man with a trac- did. Probably. the 1930 census will show 48.6 per cent-on the farms. machinery will have done still more farm demand for human hands.

Then farm wages will mount so high that city jobs will lose much of their attraction. In the long run men find their way to where they are most needed. Just now; it seems, more are needed in factories than in fields. Until the re- verse is true, why worry about the matter? Why. indeed, when one remembers that when 51.4 per ‘ cent of the population were in cities the other . 48.6 produced tliat fine 1920 crop, so much food] At last we are to have a member of the cabinet that America will have to export and-a surplus] !ot subject to presidential appointment, yet of . besides!

Ellis Barker, author of “The Great Prob- if the world wishes to keep anywhere near the pace America is setting. In his more recent book, “Economic Statesmanship,” Barker points to this highly in- teresting, and pleasing—to Americans !—fact: “American workers employed in the manufac- turing industries produced per head before the war about three times as much as their British colleagues engaged in the identical callings, largely because they employed per thousand men three times as much engine power. “American. labor engaged in mining, in agricul- ture, and.in transport also is approximately three times’ as efficient as is British labor. “It follows that the United Kingdom can treble its wealth and income by Americanizing its industries. 4 » “In 1790 Great Britain was about 15 times:as rich as were the United States. Now the United States are more than twice as rich as is the Unit- ed Kingdom.” : If Great Britain thus clearly sees her need for frequent and large doses of Americanization how much greater is the same need in other countries? MRS. PEACHEY COMES ACROSS. All those people who have some little trouble of their own, and all those who are borrowing trouble from the future, and especially _gll those who view with alarm the period of time just ahead, ought to meet Mrs. Henry Peachey, and her eight little Peacheys. Mrs. Peacliey is, according to: all reports, as fine a specimen of immigrant as‘ever landed on MEMBER AUDIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATION me They fear the overcrowding of cities and bidding the floor to former members.

No; that statement is not exactly true. She has more. Mrs. Peachey is the proudest mother you ever saw of eight boys, the oldest, fifteen; the youngest is three. “With my eight boys I’m going to grow up in the New World,” Mrs. Peachey said when she arrived in Montreal. By now the whole Peachey family is headed westward—“where there’s plen- ty of outdoors and plenty of work and opportu- nity,” ‘the mother explained. Many a person would be overwhelmed. with such a burden, but to Mrs. Peachey eight small children are not a burden. “We'll get along somehow,” she said; “at first it may be hard, but the pension will help while the childven are small, and the older ones soon will prove themselves ‘real Peacheys, sons their soldier-father would have been proud of if the war had returned him to us.” The wife of a hero Yes; but also she has something heroic in herself. Probably it re- quires no greater heroism to command an army on the battlefield than for a woman to command eight little boys in a strange and unknown land, thousands of miles from home, in their joint and several campaigns to grab fortune by the fore- lock. Here’s wishing success for the young Peachey army and its mother-commander! LOBBYING AND LOBBYISTS. Senator Kenyon would brand professional lob- byists and learn how much, they are costing their employers. It is doubtful if this would end lob- bying in Washington. Most members of congress already know the professional lobbyists in the capital, and quickly get acquainted with the ok: casional lobbyist. : What isn’t known so well is how their expenses are spread: Who is getting it, either directly, or by way of entertainment. The small fine pro- posed in Kenyon’s bill, $500 to $5,000, will mean nothing much to the lobbyist who often spends The senator complains because former mem- make use of their privilege to the floor for that purpose. Congress quickly can end this by for- best paid, have been lobbyists while they were members. i The Kenyon measure will not end lobbying for special privilege. But if that cannot be ended by law it can be seriously hampered by a better teracted in large measure by a public lobby, folks want him to do.

To have in the senate one who from inti- mate knowledge can interpret to the representa- tives of sovereign states the mind and purpose of the chief executive means a saving of time and the avoiding of migunderstandings. , For that day in the world’s working when one man can by himself alone without the advice of his equals or betters rule the United States has not yet come.
