The minds of many go back to that Joyful period, now rapidly fading into the past, when war's red riot ceased, the guns no longer boomed and peace returned to the nations. Most of us remember thie exuber- ant celebration which followed the news, no matter where we happened to be. Joy reigned supreme. Spontaneous hilarity amounted almost to hysterics. All of us were glad to be free from the burdens of war. We looked for- ward to better things. At last, we thought, the world would truly be safe for democracy. How mistaken were those ebullient’ teactions we have long since realized. ‘We know, too, that not everything was hilarity on that momentous oc: casion, Those who choose can real- ize that many were not, perhaps! never will be, free from the burdens of war. The dead can never return. gq] ment, they have managed to find plains to everyone why the counsel: of such men as Milo Reno was not widely accepted. For few of those who made—and _ }Still are making—the most noise are farmers. They are men whose chief training and occupation is that well- known pastime of “farming the farmer.” For years some of these men have made their living from the fruits of agitation. By inducing the farmer to join this or that organi: tion, contribute to this or that move- soft pickings and a place in the lime- light. They have enjoyed it and have prospered. Whatever the c Tent ill, they have seized upon it and tried to twist it to their ends. It has been, essentially, a racket of which ry the farmer has been the victim. This farm strike may have been the last gasp of those individuals. It may represent a final effort to keep their own peculiar fleshpots. Slowly but surely things are im- Proving, and with improvement go their places in the limelight, their, system of living by talking instead of by working, ‘When prosperity, peace and con- tentment return to our countryside, as it surely must in the end, the blatherskites, the rabble-rousers and the agitators will find themselves out of a job. There no longer will be a Place for them and they will—oh, sorry day—have to go to work. Then there are the politicians, many of whom are distinctly in the same class. They have enjoyed pre- senting themselves as friends of the down-trodden people, as champions of the under dog, when in fact all of their activities have been calcu- lated to keep the people in poverty and to hold the under dog just where he is. These are the people who agitated this farm strike at a time when agri- cultural America needs, as it rarely has needed them in the past, all of the common sense and grit with which God has endowed it. ‘There is more than a little evidence that the real fear of some persons in the present situation is that Presi- dent Roosevelt's farm program will jucceed, that they will find them- selves out of a job with no place togo. An Expert’s Advice ‘The maimed and torn will never be wholly healed. For them the war ‘will exist until the end. Neither is it over for us. Many of the ills from which humanity still suffers were caused by the war. The peace we have is a brittle thing, likely to break at any moment. Immediately after the war no one wanted further hostilities. The world had fought itself out. Its hardships and miseries were too apparent. Now it is different. We know we have never had a real peace. Ver- sailles brought only a new planting of the seeds of strife. All they need- ed was a new generation to bring them to fruition. That generation now is approaching manhood and war appears to be marching with it When Spike O'Donnell, Chicago Gangster, buttonholed Senator Royal 8. Copeland to tell him what ought to be done “about this crime busi- ness,” he at least spoke with the knowledge of an expert. And although his recipe was brief, it sounds very good. What the gang- ster told the senator was simply this: “All you need is honest cops and a little cooperation from the courts.” That, really, is all there is to it. Follow that formula and you can clean up almost any crime situation —Provided, of course, a little intel- ligence and energy are available in suitable quantity. The only trouble is that figuring out why cops do not always cooperate leads you to the very heart of the to a new destiny. The evidence is all about us in a bitter and aggressive Germany, a sus- Picious France, an upsurging Russia, © restless and ambition-ridden Japan. ‘Where or when the next war will break out no one can be sure, but that it will come is as certain as that the sun will shine. For the world as whole there appears no escape. For America it is different. Be- cause of the enlightenment of our people and our favorable geographi- cal position, war for other nations need not mean war for us. Nations which harbor grudges against the United States—and there are some—| “miracles,” he told the nation a week| bitter about the nervous imopsition will find it difficult to make their enmity effective if we maintain a sane will to peace. ° To do so we need not be ultra-pa- cifistic, Above all, we should not vender ourselves defenseless. The new generation in America should be taught the rudiments of how to pro- tect the nation. We should present to the world the picture of a strong man, clad in righteous armor and blessed with a tolerant spirit. In that direction does comity and well- being lie. These things should we keep in mind lest, at some future date, there be need in this land to celebrate an- other armistice. It is the only way we can keep faith with those who sleep beneath the poppies of Flan- ders Field and the white crosses, row on row, that mark the resting places of the dead our last war cost us, Behind It All News that has failed on many fronts and rapidly is ‘was expected by everyone who pad a true appreciation of the EpREESeE ee Most difficult and complicated prob- lems our democracy faces, Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the |} trend of thought by other editors.

Mr. Roosevelt has no taste for attempting economic ago. His own plan, the Agricultural Ad- Justment plan, is an outright experi- ment. Under it a sum approaching half a billion dollars is being paid by consumers in processing taxes for di- rect payment to farmers who reduce their crops this year and next, Thus far the experiment has been helpful. Cotton prices, for instance, are about double what they were a year ago; wheat prices are up. None of these new and higher prices is yet high enough to restore prosperity to agriculture, our basic industry. And no one knows this better, nor states it more frankly than the president. It was undoubtedly a bitter pill the farm state governors were given in the White House refusal at their “miracle” Plan. But such a statement as that made by one of the governors on the ‘White House is ridiculous. “The farmer is the forgotten man,” he said. “Everybody else has been here before him, the banker, the in- surance man, the railroad man, and got all the money.

He could not longer) work, play or take the interest in life; that he formerly did. He complained of the general symptoms that don’t mean anything in particular, and '80-0-0-0 he finally went to the family own version and the version of his son and wife and others, and told the patient he was suffering from—The Old Hokum Bunkem, or in quack doc- tor language “nervous prostration.” On this trick diagnosis the family quack treated the patient for several taonths, and the patient kept feeling @ little no better right along, s0-0-0-0 ‘one day some gilt edge stocks fell off several more points and the patient sneaked around and put his case up ‘o another doctor who had been highly recommended by one of the patient's gambling acquaintances. This hotcha practitioner informed the patient vaguely that his nerves certainly were in bad shape. So-0-0-0 — now lis- ten, Graham, this is going to be a The patient's son became indignant. Seemed the callow youth had been reading something that made him feel that the “nervous” diagnosis was ridiculous, and he persuaded the old man to go to a young doctor he knew, one who had gained a reputation as @ good diagnostician. This young doc- tor examined the patient carefully. Then he told the youth privately that the old gent had a serious heart im- Ppairment and in his opinion would not live long, and left it with the family whether to inform the patient of the gravity of his condition. With- in six months the patient died. Who is responsible for his death? asks his son. The young man seems the quacks practiced on the patient. The physicians who were in at the death informed the family that had the patient received the right care for the two years of his last illness nis life might have been appreciably prolonged. I don’t know about that. We doc- tem prognosis—when we are reviewing other doctor's work. But the bitter- hess of the family of the patient is quite proper. It would be well if peo- ple were more given to expressing bit- | terness about that sort of thing. The | plain truth is, as I have repeatedly stated here and no one of any stand- in has ventured to dispute, that when | @ doctor tells a patient the trouble is! Just “agrves” or “nervous exhaustion” | or anything of the sort the man is unworthy of the patient's confidence, | for there is no such condition as “nerves” or “nervous exhaustion” or ‘nervous prostration,” and nobody knows this better than the quacks who perpetrate the trick diagnosis on the gullible public. This trick diag- nosis is used sometimes by honest Physicians to satisfy public curiosity about the nature of some famous or notorious individuals’ illness — and when 80 used the trick is justifiable, for of course the nature of the pa- tlent’s illness is none of the public business.
