The list may satisty him, but it certainly would not be able to stand up under a referen- dum. Dr. Robinson is conscientious. He gives plausible reasons for his| selections, but no more plausible reasons than could be given by any other clever writer advocating the claims of a thousand persons. No one of the “fathers” is included. Not Washington or Franklin, or Jefferson, or Hamilton; nor Morris or either of the Adamses; not an administrator or a soldier who helped to create America. Lincoln is the earliest of his “great”? men, and perhaps the only one upon whom a majority of his readers would agree, althoush Ed-) ison, who is in his list, might be selected by a vote. The other five are Theodore Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller, Mark Twain, William James and Professor John Dewey- Now, if Dr. Robinson had set out to select the greatest of our literary men, Mark Twain would be not only eligible but a favorite; or of the ablest of our phychologists little doubt would be left about John Dewey, but that is not his an- nounced purpose. He designates the seven “greatest” Americans./ Mark Twain was great; a genius but he was not “great” as Wash- {ngton was—and Hamilton. We are ready to accept Edison, although he has very crude ideas upon some vital subjects—the char- acter and function of money, for instance, and Lincoln tops the list without exciting argument. But the other five are not, in our judg- ment, five of seven “greatest” Americans. MERCHANT MARINE PROBLEM AND THE NEW CONGRESS When the new congress convenes, next December, it will discover that the merchant marine problem did not expire when the filibuster in the last congress defeated the ad- ministration’s plan and offered nothing in its place. It is an- nounced from Washington that, early in the next session, the ship- ping board, will ask for an appropri- ation of $24,000,000 to build two Atlantic liners of the Leviathan type. The choice lies between the building of two new ships and re- conditioning of the Agamemnon and the Mount Vernon. To put the two old liners in condition for serv- ice would cost nearly as much as the building of new ships, the ship- ping board says. Furthermore, new ships patterned after the Leviathan would receive much larger patron: age than the Agamemnon and the Mount Vernon. The shipping board will argue that the Leviathan alone will not meet the demands made up- on that class of liners. If the Unit- ed States does not have more ships of the same type, the business will go to the large ships from other countries. The new congress will have to adopt some kind of a merchant ma- rine policy early in its career. The ultimate solution of the problem may be costly; but no one can deny that the unsolved problem alsa is costly, TREES AS WINDBREAKS Snow, every winter, causes very | serious trouble along the D. & R.

R. were instrumental in arranging this co-operation, and Division Superin- tendent Deuel of Alamosa and Mr. Johnson of the Forest service will handle the planting. AGRICULTURAL BLESS- INGS IN DISGUISE For many months, according to government reports, there has been a general shifting of the population from farm to city. The attraction in urban districts has been an abundance of employment at good pay- The federal government says two million persons turned from agricultural purslits and moved to towns and cities last year. This was not the net loss, however, for some 900,000 urban dwellers moved to the country during the same period. Of course the movement from farm to city indicates a lack of ag- ricultural prosperity. On the other hand, the reduction of the form population will eventually operate to restore prosperity fto farmers who remain at their work. There- fore, the statement that farmers are moving to town may be regard- ed either as good news or as bad news according to the point of view. In the south, there are many cot- ton growers who are rejoicing that higher prices were brought about by reduced production. Some of them have decided that the widley- advertised distress which followed the war was really a blessing. En- terprise, Alabama, may very proper- ly be awarded the gold medal along that line of reasoning. This Ala- bama town has erected a monument which bears the following unique inscription: “In Profound Appre- ciation of the Boll Weevil as the Herald of Prosperity, This Monu- ment Is Erected by the Citizens of Enterprise, Coffee County, Ale- bama.” The farmers of this com- munity decided that the boll weevil was more of a blessing than a pest because it compelled them to turn to diversified farming which they found more profitable than the rais- ing of cotton exclusively. Farmers in all parts of the United States should not be dis- couraged. Many natural forces are working to restore their pros- perity.

EADERS: Well, Readers, this “Izzat So?” {s a Hot Skitch as a Conversational Bon Bon, as we French has it; and I will state to all and Sunday that I do not know what the world will do without it! It is the Great American Comeback, all right, and it is a very Tough Argument to win against! I am a great hand for giving this phraze a play once in a while myself, but I do not ever realize what a hold it has got on a guy's vocabulary and how good it can be used unit! one time back in New York. Well, I am sitting around at my tipe writer, wondering how is it that @ magazine editor can never think up any Original Ideas when he re- jects your stuff, and can not tell you why it {s “not available,” but must always bounce it right back at you with a little printed slip saying that the Return Trip it is making does not imply lack of merit and a lot of Bunk like that which nobody believes that can spell his own name. A magazine editor is a man of a very few words and about half that much intelligence, do you ask me. It would be a great world was all gu to adopt magazine editor's waze of doing things, hey? Guys will be sending back the Tough Steak to the Butcher's Shop which tries to sell it to-them with a Note saying “the steak has been carefully considered by the family and is not available for present uses; but this does not neces- sarily imply that this lump of P. house shoe-leather lacks meri It will be a fine life if everybody is around giving babies which sell stuff the Work this way—it will be I do not think! Ambassadors and coun- sels and magazine editors, fortunate- ly, are the only people which say what they do not mean so regularly Some day I will like to see a maga- zine editor which dares to Seem as Dumb as be is and sends a note to the hard-working Author saying This Story is very Punk and he can not see it at all! Only, of course, it will be just my hick that the first gus to try this scheme will work it out on me—and I do not deserve it, writ- ing Unpublished Qassics mostly However, this is more or less besides the point I guess! ‘Well, Reader, as I am saying, I take it out of the offace on the Hasty Lam pretty soon, and go down to a Tea Dump in the Furious Forties— which streets is as full of Tea-rooms s Ireland is of Fight Fans—and I am not there very long before in come a couple of Humorists which I know slightly, and sit down at the table right next to me. Well, two birds is always so Sad that the: make .a Three Ring Funeral look Amusing; but of course guys which is naturally Light Hearted and Happ: when born get that way after they are writing funny columns on news papers for a few years. I think it would be a great thing would some- body organize a Club where Profes- sional Humorists could go and get Cheered-up—only most of these guys would not want to admit what they are doing for a living. ‘Well, these two Cuckoos are very Tough, as I am saying, and are as Sour as Home made wine. One of them is a great Circulation getter for his Rag, or Pape, because the publi keeps on reading his stuff to seo can {t possibly get any Worse, and every day they buy the paper they find that it can and are very Astonished and Interrested! The other one is a bird which always wears Climbing Irons and a Spiked Hat, and ts around making himself famous pull- ing wise Cracks about other guy's mistakes. I see these two birds together bo- fore several times, but I never seo them such Sore Butchers as they are just then, although always very Sad! Of course it 1s obvious to a Observant bird which is wise to these Humorists that nalther of these babies has got ® Idea in the world to write up in his column for the next day—and this makes them madder than ever! ‘Well, they sit around some timo Snarling at each other like the Snarl- ing Children of Dissatisfied France which we hear so much about in the war, and finally one says something to the other—or at lenst he lets ‘Words come out of his mouth, and the other one says “Izzat Bo?" and the first guy then says A fine Come- back that {e—it is America's ono Surefire Repartes!

The first guy says Adam makes the remark originally, and that he is the one has the Idea of Using it! Well, Reader, if you ever see two Humorists which is Shy of Thoughts fighting over One Idea between them (which {s more than they will Aver- age, at that) you will know what I mean! These babies are at it Teeths and Toenails, and are hollering the:r heads off about what a Fine Idea this is—and do you ask me it will not net them both together two inches of Intelligent Peaces in the Public Prints, let alone Funny Ones; but (Noah, I think) so quick it will make Humorists will “Grasp at a Straw” & Drowning Man seem Indifferent!
