The American people registered emphati ally against blocs and group action in the settlement of gov- ernment problems. Senator Brookhart who glorified the bloc system has returned to the senate with a majority of 755 as against aj majority of 160,000 two years ago which showed that Iowa | Republicans refused to follow his leadership or his attitude | toward Coolidge and Dawes. } Minnesota is seeking to rehabilitate the Republican | party by restoring party elections as far as members of the legislature are concerned. Inroads on party organization have been made during the last few years in Minnesota with | the result that the state barely escaped going though a period | of radicalismsimilartothebrand this state has gone through. | Organized minorities usually start their drive by attempt- | ing to break down party organization—it is their one hope: of victory. The nonpartisan idea as applied to the judiciary | and school elections has some merit, but if parties are to be| strong and function they must begin with the pr | ganization and work up through the small politi divisions to the more important units. Past political his- | tory has shown that less efficient and more expensive gov- ernment has resulted through the abolition of the old time} caucus and convention system. Whatever the abuses were! under the old system, it was much easier to fix responsi- | hility and better men could be induced to run for office who now refuse to submit to the kind of a campaign that results| from the primary system. The pendulum seems to be swinging toward party rule 4s against group and bloc action. Political parties under the American plan of government are necessary and vital agencies. WAGES Wages throughout the United States in 1924 averaged higher than any year of the past, the Department of Labor announces. For every $90 received as pay in 1907, on the rate-an- hour basis, $228 was paid in 1924. This rise has made pos- sible the greatly increased standard of living, by which we buy and use several times as many commodities and services as in 1907. People could save a lot of money if content to live as simply and work as many hours as long ago. Most of them prefer to live better NOW instead of saving for their heirs. QUESTION OF GLANDS He weighs 635 pounds, does J. E. Paxton of Sargent, Neb. And he is gaining 50 pounds a year. In 1904 he was a gaunt tripling. What made him grow beyond average limits? The an- swer is in the mysterious endocrine glands. When these glands are thoroughly understood, it may be possible for medical scientists to make people as fat, thin, tall, short or strong as they desire. Already mentally deficient children gan in many cases be made normal by proper treatment of the thyroid gland in the neck. STANDARDIZING HUMAN RACE It would be possible to standardize the human race—to make all people as alike as daisies or blades of grass. So says a scientist. Fusion by marriage and propagandized education would do a lot to bring people toward a common level. But it could not be done in entirety, far from it. The white, yellow and other races are as unlike as lions, rabbits, camels and so on. They are entirely different animals, despite many qualities they have in common, good and bad. DEATH Four hundred years ago the average person died at the age of 20. Now the life span is 56 years. Much of the gain has been by reducing the death rate among children, espe- clally_ infants. The statistics just quoted are pleasing to the medical profession, which issues them. Perusal of the records penned in numerous old family Bibles makes us wonder how accurate the figures are. Uncle John and Aunt Mary gen- erally lasted into the eighties or nineties. Not now. ALCOHOL Uncle Sam is criminally negligent in not attempting to protect bootleggers’ victims from their folly. The attitude appears to be, “Let the drinker beware.” f The government seems unable to stop bootleggers getting . commercial alcohol that has been poisoned to make it unfit to drink. But government has responsibility. It must be chemically popalbla to color alcohol with a harmless but’ un- removable dye that would warn the drinker. To find such a method is clearly a part of government’s responsibility. BOOZE i Alcohol, to the amount of 240 million quarts a year, is rcial es.

My!" said Johnny Sweep. “The Fairy Queen will be upset when she finds that we couldn't catch Snitcher Snatch, the goblin.” “But we'll keep on trying,” said Nancy. “You mustn't give up yet.” So Johnny and the Twing got-on hix broom again and went every- where hunting for the bad little gob- lin, And at last they saw his footprints. So they followed him—but what do you think, They landed back exactly where they started. Because the goblin had put his shoes on backwards just to fool peo- ple. In the meantime he was @ grand time, He went along the road singing, “A frog he would a-wooing go,” until he came to the city. He couldn’t go to the beauty shop again, for they knew him. And he couldn't go to the grocery store again for the grocer knew him, too. And he couldn’t go to the profes- xor’s house, for the professor might know him in spite of the fact that he never had seen him. “Such a pity to waste a whole eve- ning” sighed the bad little goblin: And then he spied, the town clock. He stopped stock-still and looked at it. Such an ide@—such an elegant idea had popped into his head! “{ know what I'll -do,” he said “Tl kill forty birds with one stone. I'll make trouble for everybody, I'll turn the town clock ahead an hour!” And so he did. He shinnied up the side of the big library building where the clock was, and by and by he came to the roof. Then he shinnied up the clock having clock. Then he gave a spring and landed on the big hour hand of the clock. Of course a goblin doesn’t weigh very much, but he weighs enough to push an hour hand down if he sits on it. And the hour hand went from five to six and stayed there. Then Snitcher Snatch crept down until he got to the pavement, He went to # place where people were waiting for a strect car just to see what they would do. First Mister Henderson looked at his watch and then at the clock. “For goodness .sake!” he cried. “I'l take this watch right back to the jeweler’s tomorrow. He charged me five dollars to fix it, and it has lost an hour already.” When Mister Henderson got on the car to go home, Snitcher Snatch cuught hold of his coat tails and hopped on too. Then he went in and took a seat. When the conductor came in to collect the the goblin piped up, “I'm under five years and don't have to pay.” When Mister Henderson got off, Snitcher Snatch got off, too, and fol- lowed him home. “Why isn't dinner ready?” thun- dered Mister Henderson. 4 Mrs, Henderson threw up her hands.

I assure you that I .would never write it if I did not think you would understand what I am going to say better than most women‘I know. I am really at my wits’ end and I can only turn to you to help ‘me. Do you think that Leslie is‘ ever going to forgive Mr. Prescott? If she is not going to do so, she had better tell him so immediately and get the break over as soon as possible, He is at present no good to this business, himself, nor any- thing nor anybody. Yes, I quite agree with’ you, I know he is only getting what is com-|! ing to him, but that does not straigh- ten out things here at the plant. He keeps everyone on the jump down here with his orders one ‘minute which he countermands the next. He doesn’t seem able to think conse- cutively and he seems to have lost all that great constructive ability which I have admired in him so much in the past. Honestly, Mrs. Burke, I do not think that Mr. Prescott realized thet his absence at the time of Leslie's sister’s death could make any par- ticular difference to her. He is one of those men that is always flatter- ing himself that he never makes a mistake about women, and he under- stands them not at all. You and I know that when a man has something disagreeable to go through—and that was what Alice’s death meant to him—John Alden Prescott—he simply gets through with it with as little fuss as possible. He doesn’t want anyone outside to help, and more than all else he does not want any outside sympathy. His whole desire is to get it over and off his mind as soon as possible. He doesn't even want to talk about it “EVERETT TRUE Lars early,” she cried, “Pickled pig’s feet!” cried Mister Henderson, “I must be going crazy.” Snitcher Snatch giggled. “A trog he would a-wooing go,” he sang as he hopped down the street.

Congress appropriated $100,000 to fight it. New York and other large cities blacklist chickens from states where the epidemic has broken out. ‘ In Chicago, inspectors examine dead fowl and diagnose their ailment as infectious bronchitis. | A department of the national government issues a state- ment that human health will not be endangered by the dis- ease. : It is claimed that turkeys and ducks are immune, that the plague attacks chickens only. i : The experts should know. Cautious housewives will make sure their chickens are ‘well done” before serving. HEAT IS THE GREATEST KNOWN DESTROYER OF BAC- TERIA WHICH SPREAD DISEASE, Another menace to the nation’s food supply is discovered New York, where numerous cases of typhoid are trated ters, according to some medical men. Others assert that the source of the typhoid must be elsewhere. How- ever, New York puts a ban on oysters from nearby ocean places where they might be infected, The theory is that typhoid got into the ocean in sewage, thence into oysters. ; Oysters from polluted waters could be dangerous if eaten taw. A thoroughly cooked oyster certainly’ is safer. Meantime, the battle continues to check.the spread of the European: corn borer which menaces one of our leading food crops. It,.too, came to us from Europe.» - i A column of this newspaper could be filled with a list of insect and fungus pests that are attacking America’s food supply. y "hn the terrific ravages of the boll weevil on the cotton crop we havea startling example of what a small but swiftly multiplying destroyer can do in a few years to a crop. An- other case is the chestnut tree, now virtually. exterminated. Chickens in some regions are dying like flies, victims of “chicken flu.” There may,or may not be ‘any menace to human health. But there will be a terrific loss to farmers who grow chickens for market. Trouble — trouble—trouble. In one form or another, nature is constantly furnishing it. She wants us to have ‘problems and difficulties. There is no “life of ease” for man collectively. Nex York, Jan. 10.In a snow- orm New York is like a great giant stered with feathers. It squirms ‘and writhes and kicks in its impot- jent rage. Its arteries clog up. The | flow cf life is almost completely } stopped. | Traffic is at a standstill block upon block. The wheels of big trucks futilely spin around, churn- jing the snow into slush and digging itheir own grave deeper. «: Chauffeurs dash “about, cursing jthe fellow stuck before them, only to be stuck and to be cursed in turn. | Pedestrians frantically dash be- tween the enmeshed streams of autos and. wagons, slipping,’ sliding and falling. ‘ Traffie cope, -who on fair days move traffic and prevent tangles by the mere wave of the hand, now stand by, leaving the movement of machines to their drivers and to fate. It is only on such occasions when traffic is stopped that one realizes the vast proportions of New York’s commerce. Those trucks standing in the street represent millions of dol- lars of property. Their delay each day represents hundreds of thous- ands of dollars loss in missed freight and steamer. connections, Wages and overtime paid to drivers IN NEW YORK and helpers sitting there waiting for things to move.’ | Out of, the city’s showbound im- potence ‘arises oné heroic figure— the horse, These clever engines devised by man have met their equal in the white host of ‘tiny flakes dropped from the sky. The horse lunges in his traces, slips, slithers and half- falls, yet moves ahead’ with his load. Then, too, a stalled auto engine cools. off and breezes, while old Dob- bin turns his rump ‘to the wind and lets it blow. When I look out the window in the gray light of dawn and see a herge patiently waiting, shivering, hunching himself up-under his blan- ket while the wind whips. stinging sleet-about him, J think of the paint- ings of Washington, Crossing the Delaware, of the soldiers at Valley Forge, of, a sentinel patrolling a post—just some “dim, sentimental connection of hereics.
