CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Constructive Leaders Needed Constructive leadership would do more for American agriculture than all the laws congress can enact for farmers, for in legislation in behalf of the tiller history reveals repeated application of nostrums, because the farmer as a class has been more susceptible than any other to buncombe. There always have been political mountebanks more than willing to supply him. About ail the gains agriculture made up to the passage of the farm board act was in the aid given the farmer in the formulaticn of more scientific methods of sowing and reaping. Now a real economic attempt has been made to prosper the industry of the soil, but it is in its initial stages and its outcome still simmers in the alembic of cooperative test. What can legislation do best for the farmer, because there is in it common sense and the limits of possibility are not overstepped? Samuel R. McKelvie, a member of the farm board, considered this question at the com- mencement exercises at South Dakota Agricultural col- lege, Brookings, Friday evening, when he made the lead- ing address of the graduation program. He said the best that legislation can do is to bring about equality of op- portunity for the farmer and as soon as possible leave with the farmer the responsibility for doing things that the government is now assisting him to do, That, he said, demanded constructive leadership in the ranks of the tillers—unselfish leadership of men and women who are not controlled by prejudice or prompted by expediency. This is what the farm relief act is striving to do. If it can attain to deyeloping a leadership of vision as broad and deep as that of Tom D. Campbell, the big machine farmer of Montana, it will succeed. With such leadership that essential cooperation to scientific mer- chandising of the produce of the farm can be established, and this has been the feature of agriculture in which it always has broken down. "Leading the farmer out of the wilderness is going to ‘be a slow process. And in that slowness the pessimist and demagogue will find their opportunity to seek the ‘continued befuddlement of the tiller. Meanwhile; in the ‘arm board, the agriculturists will find their leadership. Eventually they will develope leaders of their own. When that day comes the farmer can come to the relief of the (government, free it of its guardianship and stand on his jown feet, economically as well as politically independent. {That is the goal which agriculture has been seeking. | For the present the experiment of the farm board j safely on its course with the retention of Alexander as chairman. Legge stipulated when he accepted ithe chairmanship of the board that he was not to serve ‘more than a year, but with the expiratign of that period has been induced to allow reappointment. ‘: second year with the farm situation originally appointed with the . As the St. Paul Dispatch says “With this prospect ahead, both farmers and farm ‘board need the services of the energetic, resourceful and Mfearless Alexander Legge. Farmers may be skeptical ‘about the efficacy of the agricultural marketing act, ‘but they have confidence in the man. The traders are ‘against him, but the producers are with him. “Surplus production of agricultural products promises to be the major problem of 1930 as it was for 1929. If the Hoover program for farm relief contains the pos- sibility. of a solution of this difficult situation, the farm with Legge at its head and the cooperative organ- out of their swaddling clothes, are now in better Ahan before to give agriculture its expected Chicago Celebrates Vanity Chicago had a blatant celebration the other day. Its les tied down, flags floating from pole tops, bells and people holding mass meetings, it screamed clamored, screeched and reverberated to the fact that jit had become a city of 3,373,573 persons, or 672,000 more approximately than it had 10 years ago, when the 1820 [eensus was taken. Leading citizens made speeches and cheers were given. Long festoons of ticker tape shot of office building windows in the Loop, and the took on a carnival air. Chicago had broken a record, and her citizens were not at’ all backward rejoicing about it. ‘ "What other city celebrates its growth in that man- Not even Los Angeles, supposed to possess the most boosters alive. Nowhere on earth, probably, but e: Chicago do things happen in that exuberent way. | } Was Chicago justified in celebrating her bigness, see- ing that so much of it also is badness? For at the same ‘time Chicago was celebrating so exuberantly, her police detectives were running around in circles trying to these typically American traits are focussed all together in Chicago. And the things that go with them—misgovernment, rotten politics, inefficient defense against crime, an un- tamed underworld—these things, too, are very American, | and inevitably they are centered in Chicago. That is why Chicago is interesting. Her surprisiig growth, her pride in her bigness, her newness and raw- ness and lawlessness—these are America. They are Chi- cago. They combine to produce a life that is quick, bois- terous and sometimes rowdy—but never dull. So, whatever they do there, they never do it by halves. In many ways Chicago is extremely admirable, and in some ways it is a portent for the thoughtful; but either way, it is a 100-percenter. Restraint is never one of its watchwords. Whether it be headed in the right direction or the wrong one, at least it is not standing still. It is going somewhere with all its power. / A Floating Power House Some months ago a severe drouth in the state of Wash- ington reduced the supply of hydro-electric power and threatened the electricity supply of the city of Tacoma. By ‘special arrangement with the Navy department, the big airplane carrier Lexington was docked at’ Tacoma and her turbines were used to generate electricity for the city until the crisis had passed. Now it becomes apparent that private capital has read a lesson in the episode. According to the Industrial Bul- letin issued by Arthur D. Little, Inc., the New England Public Service company, Which supplies power to sea- board Maine and New Hampshire, has spent $1,009,000 in transforming the old cargo ship Jacona into a floating power house of 20,000 kilowatts capacity. This ship will be used up and down the coast. When- ever there is a shortage of power in any coast city, the Jacona will come in, cut in on the city’s high tension system and begin grinding out electricity. The operating company’s power supply thus becomes highly flexible— and private industry has learned another lesson from the federal government. Motorists and Freight Trains A New Jersey motorist named Ludwig Lanther was driving along a highway the other day when he came to @ grade crossing, blocked by a lengthy freight train which had stopped there and apparently had no inten- tion of moving on again. Mr. Lanther stood it for quite a while. Then he got out and uncoupled two of the cars. Presently the train started up, slowly. Because it had been uncoupled an opening appeared, and Mr. Lanther sped through it and went on his way. i Now the gentleman is being held on charges of violat- ing a state law relating to freight trains; but he pro- tests that what he did was justified, and he'll probably get the sympathy of a gré&t. many motorists. Any driver who has had to fret and fume by a grade crossing while some deliberate freight train camped in front of him will feel a glow of fellow-felling: for this Jerseyite who took matters into his own hands, | Editorial Comment | Opposition to the Treaty (New York Times) When Lesseps was promoting the Suez Canal com- Pany, a Frenchman who must have been 100% French, applied to him for shares. He said he understood that they were “railway shares in the island of Sweden.” ‘When it was explained to him that the enterprise was not a railway, not on an island, and not in Sweden, the Prospective investor replied: “Never mind, it is to spite the English, so it is all the same.” Something of that magnificent inconsequence appears in certain of the op- ponents of the naval treaty at Washington. They are not very sure of their ground about battleships and cruisers and airplane carriers and submarines and de- stroyers and guns and armor and airplanes, but they are confident that their hearts are in the right patriotic place as respects England and Japan. If those countries desire the treaty, or even agree to it reluctantly, then we don’t want it. This is the great thing that was to be demon- strated, and now has been, in the judgment of most of the senators against ratification of the treaty. ——|____ Success and the “Breaks” (Milwaukee Journal) Always it has been bad advice to tell a boy to trust to luck, instead of work, and always it will be. None the less Newcomb Carlton, president of the Western Union Telegraph company, strikes a responsive note when, ask- ed for the great secret of success, he answers: “Bah! It’s the breaks!” For it has grown increasingly weari- some to hear from the lips of someone who has made a fortune almost overnight, in some one of the ways known to our times, plus remarks to youth, attributing their ‘success to nothing but the fact that as boys they worked, were faithful, did a little more than was expected, “al- ways told the truth” and give the other fellow a square In an age of debunking, nothing is sacred, but here is one thing that ought to be debunked. Mr. Carlton says: “There are a dozen men in our plants who could fill my Job as well as I do. But they probably won't have the opportunity. They won't get the breaks that give them the chance to show what they can do.” That is iconoclas- tie, it would be terrible if a politician said it; but it is an industrial leader who says it, and it has a ring of Shall we then give up our time-tested philosophy that says to youth, “Be honest, work hard, try to make your employer's interests your own?” Not a bit of it. Mr. Carlton doesn’t suggest that those dozen men, any one of whom could fill his shoes, prepared himself without hard work and faithfulness. But if some of our great captains of success, solicited .for the formula, are moved by a sense of humor not to say to the small boy or the school teacher that they made $100,000,000 solely working overtime and saving pennies out of day wages, their sound advice may be listened to. And what Mr. Carl- ton says he tells the messenger boys when against his will he is forced to speak, is worth considering: “Go run around the block, fill your lungs with fresh air and find out things for yourselves.” North Carolina Back in the Fold (Chicago Tribune) : Senator Furnifold M. Simmons has been defeated for renomination by the Democrats of North Carolina, Josiah | W. Bailey, a Raleigh attorney who ran against the sena- tor more in sorrow than in anger, has defeated the venerable statesman by at least 60,000 votes. The state has confessed its sin, punished the responsible author of it, and has returned as a penitent to the temporarily fragmented solid south. Thus North Carolina has done the Republican party all the good it could and much more than it would confess as an intention. Tt had listened to a traveling man and had left home, but is back again and nothing more will be said about it. It has a new pair of shoes, a fresh frock, and will live quietly for a while. A great many of the good people | of the state regret that it was necessary to punish Sena- | tor Simmons, bui when he Hooverized in the presidential | election, he misused the trust a confiding state reposed in him and in spite of his able and long career, full of good works, North Carolina felt that the incident needed ‘an example as a warning that it should not happen again. f The benefit given the Republican party is great if the party management and the administration will convert d out who killed a reporter.

When parts of the south broke from tradition and old loyalties the motives were not admir- able and the consequences threatened to be worse.

It was from his mother, an accom- plished musician, that young Gounod received his taste for music. age of 18 he entered the Paris con- servatory, where he won in his first year the second Prix de Rome. Three years later he won the Grand Prix de Rome. His first appointment was as an organist in Paris, but it was not until he produced his opera Sappho in 1851 that he attracted attention. After superintending the instruc- tion of singing to the communal schools of Paris and directing the choral society connected with them, Gounod wrote his noted opera, Faust, his greatest success and one of the ‘|most enduringly popular operas of the modern stage. His next greatest suc- cess was the opera Romeo and Juliet.

Even so she was care ful not to mention Alan's name, mindful of the girls in the outer office, She did not want them to know —it it could be avolded—that she kept the fact of Natalie's presence there from him. He told her that he would not return to the office again that day, and she was so thankful to have him stay away that she did not even ask when she would see him. He thought it was sweet of her to let him alone, and hung up the receiver with a feeling of grati- tude toward fer for not insisting he come to her apartment for din- Der. After that Phillipa was able to apply herself to her neglected work with sufficient diligence to get enough of it done so that she could soon turn her thoughts again to the winning of the man she wanted for her husband. Natalie bed gone, Phillipa had smiled triumpbantly over her de parture. She had seen penitence in Nata- Me's eyes, knew that she was ready to plead with Alan to forgive her.

She ran them over with perfuno tory interest until she came to oné of odd shape and distinctive color ing. Quickly she put the others aside and tore this one open. She knew. that it was from Bernadine Lamont. Many such had come to the office, Phillipa was always keen to them. She wanted to know as much as she could about the re lations of her employer with his 4& very definite idea that Berna out that she would welcome it ... «| most colorful client.

She had received @ tip on it, she said, from @ most reliable source, and gave! initials. that few in the Street would have had any trouble in identifying. : Phillipa’s lips curled in scorn over Bernadine’s lack of business acumen, “If I got a tip from that source, I'd be darned careful how I peddléd it around,” she sneered. “Lucky thing for her that Alan's honest or she would soon initial herself right out of tips.” She thought, too, that if she bad some money she would play the tip herself, But it was against the rules of the office, and it wouldn't be worth ‘the risk of incurring Alan's displeasure. The biggest moves on the market were not tipped off in night clubs, even to the favorites like “The Lamont.” However, she sighed over it, for sbe was something of an oppor: tunist and hated to pass up what she knew was a sure bet. Berna: dine had had these tips before, and always they had netted her a sub- stantial profit. She got up and took the letter, together with other papers, into Alan's office. Just inside the door she stopped and looked around. Natalie bad been doing things to the room.

It seems that is a subject which could best be decided at an arms con- though Phillipa could not recall baving sepn them before. The flowers were not in water. Natalie might have forgotten them there. With a quick pounce, Phil- lipa grabbed them up and threw them into the waste-basket. Then she saw, beside the basket, a handkerchief. Easy to guess that it belonged to Natalie. Gingerly, Phillipa picked it up and dropped it om the violets. She wiped her fingers fastidiously. The handker had left it as evidénce of her weep- ing. It would have been an effec: tive touch had Alan found it, she thought, Over the handkerchief she threw opened the window. An elusively faint trace of perfume hung on the air.

She opened another window and only when the room had grown chilly, did ahe close them. She had been, for several mo- ments, indifferent to the change in the temperature. For she was warm with the excitement of « scheme that had popped into her mind all of a sudden while she was thinking of Natalie's visit there. She was working it out with magical ease. She could tell Alan that Natalie had come in after he telephoned, and that she did not know, what she wanted. She could say that Natalie had acted as though she’d come to renew the quarrel, Ts rest—well, there was always @ chance that any plot would fail. But this one was worth try- ing out. She took up the letter from Bernadine and scanned it carefully. Yes, it could be done! . She got up and started to lock the door . .. better to get her own things. She went out and got what she wanted. Back in the pri- vate office she locked the door, with as little noise as possible. Then she flew to Alan's desk and seated herself there. She be gan her work with infinite patience. Should Alan interrupt her—be was Nkely to, but should he—she prepared to say: that she'd herself in for a little cry, did not take long, with all to complete her task. She Ginished product up be fore her and studied it with grow. Ing satisfaction and elation. Certainly Alan would not dis- cover what she had done, sho as- sured herself, “It's fortunate that I could pick 8 bum stock that would fit in the same space,” she reflected gloating: eee evidence that the gubstitution of names had been made at Alan's @esk—where Natalie had sat aloze 80 long! Satisfied, now, Phillipa went to type furiously on some jetted statements. She left Bernagine’s letter in a drawér of Alan's desk. They were not to buy the stock she wanted until the following moraing. Phillipa felt she had an- other point upon whieh to congratu- late herself. Had Bernadine fol- lowed the usual procedure and di- rected Alan to buy when the stock was,a certain figure, it would have been difficult to substitute another and pick one that was unsafe, But, with a definite time set for the buying, it was easy for Phil- lipa to carry out her plot. Sheuld Alan not come in the next day be fore ten o'clock she would see that the order was executed. She pre ferred Alan to handle the letter and have no doubt of its genuineness before its instructions were car ried out; then he could attach no blame to her for falling to detect, even more certain to go it he did not know about ewer &@ moment Phillipa changed her mind and wished that she could carry out the. order immediately. Well, it didn’t matter, one way or the other. Bernadine would be loaded with some worthless stock, and Alan would be wild.
