LAFOLLETTE AND POLITICS Senator LaFollette has many friends in North Dakota. lie has proved this in the vote he has received on several ns. He the advantage of being regarded as a Northwest man, in comparison to his opponents for the Pres- idency. There an illusion in the minds of some that he is the only champion of the downtrodden agriculturist. In the present campaign Senator LaFollette is a candi- date for the highest office in the land. He is an independ- ent candidate, without a definite or responsible party be- hind him. He has a platform but it is inconceivable that he cculd obtain support in Congress to put it in effect, if he succeeded in capturing the presidency. Without a Con- press to back him, nothing but demoralization could come from his elevation to the office of chief executive. Senator LaFollette is an astute politician. He does not deny that he observes the political rules. He was quoted by Congressman James H. Sinclair here recently as attribut- ing his success to the fact that he never forgot the machin ery of poli And there is good reasons for believing that the Senator has played politics in marked degree in order to win the support of voters in this campaign. Senator LaFollette announced he was for government ownership. This has not proved popular. It especially has not proved popular with real estate owners, the largest class being farmers, because almost confiscatory taxes would re- svlt. The record made by railroads in private hands as com- pered to government operation has not helped his argu- The nation has the strictest kind of regulation of That is what the average man wants, not govern- ment ownership. Senator LaFollette now is “hedging” on this issue. and stating that if elected he would “study the question thoroughly.” It is a question he claims to have studied carefully for 25 years. The LaFollette plan to demoralize our system of govern- ment-—-the check and balance as between legislative, judicial and executive—by virtually devoiding the supreme court of its. povers, hes not proved popular. The Senator has “her?ed” on this issue, and answered with a platitude, in his Minneapolis sneech,*to the effect that he favors the sovereignty of all the people. The manner in which Senator LaFollette has changed his mind on svecific issues, to win political support, does not augur well for the selection of a President. needs a president who will steer what he believes is a straight course. regardless of consequences. The little man from New England appears to have done this. President Coolidge has vetoed measures that injured him politically, cost him votes. He vetoed them because he believed he was right, and doubtless has won the respect even of his oppon- ents. President Coolidge has laid down a clear program of efficiency, honesty and economy in the government. Such a government is the need and desire of the nation at all times. He offers every opportunity for individual success, with the proper protection afforded by the government. There is nothing for the Northwest to gain by voting for Senator LaFollette. There is something to gain by voting for President Coolidge. His administration thus far argues well for his support. He stands ready to put the force of the vovernment into operation to help all its people. He promises an orderly government, strictly American. Such a government makes for contentment and prosperity. “WHAT’S YOUR HURRY?” Automobile and other street accidents have become so numerous in many cities that campaigns have been com-! menced to teach the public, pedestrians as well as drivers of vehicles, the wisdom of exercising care on the public streets. Investigations of accidents on the streets have developed that a large per cent of them is avoidable; that they are the result of carelessness on the part of the driver of the vehicle or the pedestrian who is the worst sufferer when a collision occurs. Men and women rush across the streets or between streot cars and vehicles, apparently without any thought of - the dangers they face in doing so. Many persons can be seen leaving a street car at the rear door and crossing the street behind the car, thereby running the risk of being struck by a car passing on the “blind” side. Automobile drivers are not blamelegs in the matter. Many of them take chances in rushing across a street ahead = of a street car or another automobile, all for the evident purnose of saving a few seconds, as if the saving of time justified running the risk of being struck. Even without the aid of a traffic officer at the street crossing, travel would adjust itself if every person exercised good judgment in crossing. “Go with the traffic” is adyice which may be followed with safty under almost every condi- =. tion. ‘ ’ 3 “Every person, driver or pedestrian, who uses the streets has it in his power to aid in making the streets safe for all. it 3 RESISTING T.

Co-operative marketing is the specific offered by Mr. Lowden. “The farmers’ marketing methods” says he “are a century behind,” and they are, in comparison with the marketing methods of every other industry. Yet it is obvious that the farmer ig unable both by his individualistic attitude, his isolation and his financial status, to make the jump of one hundred years within a year. He can not lift himslef by his own bootstraps. ‘He must have governmental en- couragement and aid until the time | comes when he can walk alone and | an rec which we a tion and control of the co-opera- tive marketing Mr. Lowden indi- cates. | The history of co-operative en- terprise in the United States, so far, shows that it takes something more than willingness, earnestness and sincerity to make them suc- cessful, Business cacapity and ca- pability is not born over night nor is co-operation self-executing. The; real problem to be solved is bound | up in the task of getting that su- pervision and aid which will make! co-operative marketing work, | which will set the engine in mo- tion and supply it with the fuel to keep it going until its new owner, the farmer, can operate it himself.

Someone stole the House That Jack Built. Picked it right up where it stood on! Pippin Hill and walked off with it. “No one has seen it since the! night of Jack and Jill's party when Mrs. John, Jack’s mother, lost her cider and pies in the dumb-waiter. “Next morning when Jack and Jill had gone down the hill, and Mrs. John had gone to market, someone took it. When they came back the house was as gone as yesterday. “Will you go and help them to hunt for it?

I mean she put on her’ clothes and her shoes! Not Nick's. And as truly as I tell you, didn’t they find themselves right on the top of Pippin Hill where all the appletrees grew. But alas and alack! Where Jack’s fine new house had | stood only the day before, nothing was left but the cellar! There were Mrs. John’s washing | tubs and her butter-crocks and her preserves, and her step-ladder, and her clothes-props, which she had | brought in in cuse of rain, und her cider-barrel, and her winter-apples, and her sack of potatoes ’n every- thing. Everything to keep house with but no house to keep! It was a dreadful state of affairs! | There was Jack and there was Jill and there was Mrs. John looking as though the world had come to «| sudden end. ' “What do you suppose could have happened?” said Nancy. Jack and Jill and Mrs. John looked ever so surprised to see the Twins. When you go any place by magic it is natural that you should make no noise at all. | So nobody had noticed them until | | Nancy spoke. | “We haven't the least idea,” said All 1} {know is that one minute we had a house and the next minute we didn’t.

Some one has defined an expert as a man who lives ae X= perts, however, have their place and are necessary. An ‘interesting development is this: In many fields, the INDI- : VIDUAL EXPERT is being displaced by an EXPERT METHOD that can be applied by average common sense. For instance, it is an expert’s task to determine the “mental age” of children, and particularly children not suf- ‘ficiently subnormal to be placed in institutions but too far {below average intelligence to keep pace with an ordinary |school class, accordingly needing special classes. | Experts have charge of such work. Usually they go ‘around from one community to another, in “caravan clinics.” |} One of the leading authorities in this work is Dr. Samuel {B. Sinclair. Ina recent speech he announced: “An ordinary ‘teacher, with a few hours’ instruction regarding methods of j observation and inquiry, and without giving a formal intelli- jgence test, can estimate a, subnormal child’s mental age | within a few per cent of the Stanford-Binet Estimate. Her |findings for a subnormal class are superior to those of a {group test, and for this purpose caravan clinics are unneces- sary.” | Dr. Sinclair came to this conclusion after teachers had {estimated children’s mental age in 400 cases and demon- \strated that the teachers,reached almost excatly the same results or ratings as obtained by experts. j It illustrates how the individual expert tends to be dis- placed by the expert method that can be applied by almost jany one with good sense. i Increasingly it is the function of experts to create expert methods and in such a way that they can be applied or used by others than specialists. Another illustration is radio, extremely complicated. | Yet a lad can build his own radio, though he couldn’t repair |that far simpler mechanism, a watch. The reason is that experts, instead of keeping their secrets to themselves and building all radios under their own supervision, have created and released expert systems or hook-ups—easily put into < New York, Oct.
