No one will go that far. For, ok you, we have elected women gover: nors of Texas and Wyoming, a woman secreta of state in New York, a congresswoman in New Jersey, and long since a woman supeme judge in Ohio. Women members of state legislatures are com- mon in many states, while women county and city officials are too numerous to mention. The lady member of congress from New Jer- sey and the New York secretary of state are the first to break into high office in the east. The Jersey congresswoman makes the sixth woman to be elected to the lower house. ; We may be approaching a political evolution that may ultimately result in the male and fe- male parties. It is not an unreasonable expec- + tation as things go. While women can best serve any purposes for good they may, entertain, by allying themselves with one or the other of the existing political parties, they may not think so. And being entitled to change their mind at pleasure we may find ourselves up against a male and female division in politics, some bright day, with nothing but sunbonnets in one ring and Stetsons in the other. That will be our busy day. Prospective Tea Party Tea has always been an important item in the Englishman’s bill of fare. At one time it was also an important item in American domestic af- fairs, but that was before the occurence of a . certain function known in history as the “Bos- “ ton Tea Party.” If memory_serves, this affair was the outgrowth of a disagreement with the taxing authorities of the time who seemed un- reasonably arbitrary in their methods. London and the English generally wasted little sympathy upon the Boston colonists’ tax plight which forced them to forego the use of tea. We are not so unfeeling, now that time has moved on and after a hundred and fifty years or so the tables are turned and somebody else is soaking our English cousins with an unusual tax upon the makin’s of their ehonored beverage. The foreign ten producers’ have put up the price away beyond the reach of the average English family and the howl is heard ‘round the world. From where we sit and the way we feel about the matter, we would advise another tea fune tion, this time to be held in London, and all importations of the article in question to be dumped from the London docks into the bosom of the Thames river and be permitted to float onward to the sea without so much as a glance from any tea drinking Englishman. We set the example long years ago. It worked effectively. Use Not Abuse The resistence to radicalism, if it is to be per- manently effective must go deeper than mere argumentative resistence to its sophisteries. Cone servatism does not mean reaction or stagnation it means constant effort to eliminate evils, correct injustices and develop existing institu. tions into more beneficient forms. It means that those who stand for existing institutions must not abuse their rights, privileges and opportu- nities under the institutions. It means that there must always be kept in mind the general welfare, rather than merely the satisfaction of the selfish purposes of those who achieve suc- cess under our social and governmental forms. Those who enjoy and benefit by the right of private property must realize that ‘the evehy abuse of these rights is a contribution to the de- velopment of those destructive forces which would abolish private property. The strength of the appeal of those who play upon the spirit of unrest*depends upon the justification created for their assaults upon the existing order, e Hang Over Investigation Another senate investigating committee — a hang-over from a session in which investigations superseded all other business—is grinding. This » headed by Senator Couzens, of ged in probing the bureau of in- . Experts of the committee ure in- vestiga ting 1,000 corporation income tax reports with a y y to discovering methods of evading the law that the purpose of this pro- cedure is to aid congress in legislation, but as all revenue legislation must under the consti tution originate in the house, such a purpose may be described as academic, The campaign being oyer, public interest in , investigating commit tees is not acute, nor have the foes of the admin istration the motive of discrediting it which fur. nished most of the inspiration for last winter's orgy of exposure. Perhaps the Couzens commit tee may 11 in developing recommendation that will improve the efficiency of the bureau of internal revenue; if so, the cost of the inquiry. will be justified; otherwise it may be charged up, as most of last winter’s investigations were, as a campaign contribution. Resuming Old Situation The djsintegration of the radical party is under way. All talk of a permanent third party is merely talk. Wheeler himself, the most blatant of them all has returned to the Democratic fold and what few Republican deserters there were are already seeking seats upon the ‘mourner’s bench” and asking that their sins be forgiven. More damaging to any hope any radical may have had of keeping the third pa alive has been the action of union labor. The labor chief- tains were the third party's chief asset, But they stood alone. The members of union labor did not go with them. There is no group among our elec- torate that at all times displays level-headed judgment like the rank and file of organized labor. They refuse to be misled, and uniformly vote their own individual sentiments, regardless of what the chieftains may be attempting to deliver. If there is any one interest more than another completely sickened by the political experiment they tried it is the labor chieftains, despite their protestations that they are satisfied with the outcome of the elections. Their influence politi- cally with congress has been great because they were supposed to be able to deliver. The election showed that they could not, that the rank and file of labor would not take orders but voted as they saw fit and preferred to go with the old parties. Not only was their political prestige impaired but, having fought a majority in the new congress, they cannot expect Yayors from it. They had counted on passing the Howell-Bar- clay railroad labor bill. They know now that the course they pursued in the campaign has made that impossible. As a result, the bulk of the la- bor leaders desire to free themselves from the third party connections and get back to their old positions of playing the old parties off against each other. Friend of Enterprise The Republican party is frankly the friend of business enterprise, not because it holds a brief for the rich, as its foes allege, but because it be- lieves that all elements in our citizenship have something at stake in the maintenance of gen- eral prosperity. This does not mean that it is ready to put the seal of approval upon the ex- cesses practiced by greedy, speculative elements which are the parasites of productive industry. This is evidenced by the fact that practically every effective national statute for the regula- tion and control of business abuses has been tht fruit of Republican statesmanship. Petroleum Production That world petroleum production passed the 1,000,000,000-barrel mark for the first time last year is shown in government figures, and pro- duction in the United States attained a new record. The world output reached 1,018,900,000 barrels of forty-two gallons each. The United States produced 732,407,000 barrels, 71.9 per cent of the total world output. Mexico, second, had an output of 149,585,000 barrels, or 14.7 per cent of the world total. To Speed Justice In order to speed up the business of. the fed- eral courts Chief Justic Taft urges judges to dis- miss cases which are not brought’to trial within a year, allowing thirty days grace; district courts to rule against continuance to another term by agreement of counsel; ail courts to permit con- tinuance only for good cause on affidavit; courts to fix times for hearing of motions at frequent intervals; district judges alone to examine pros- pective jurors, except on submission of special questions by counsel to the judge. Unattainable Perfection Society could reach no state of perfection in which the cry of discontent and the appeal to the destructive spirit would de hushed. It always has been and always will be heard. it is by no means true, as is so often carelessly asserted that the removal of causes of disconent would serve to eliminate discontent—for there is much unreasonable unrest, based upon the limitations of individuals which the individual is ever ready to blame upon society, 5 How Come? It is announced that Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Senator Borah and Senator Norris will be among Senator Wheeler's attorneys,) when he appears for trial under an indictment for selling his official influence to a fraudulent oil company. It seems strange how a man with no evidence against him feels called upon to employ such a battery of senatorial attorneys to prove his pal- pable innocense. Whatever may be the official outcome of the contest over the election of Senator Brookhart in Towa, the people of the country will be in- terested in seeing how many votes were marked for his opponent But not counted because of a technicality. If a plurality of the ballots were marked for his opponent, the people will not be satisfied until the real winner gets his seat, The action of the National Grange in asking that the government conduct cost-of-production inquiries recalls the fact that it was a Deino- cratic administration that put a stop to such an inquiry and a Republican administration that renewed it. Political ornithologists are somewhat both. | ered about the classificiation of Mr. LaFollette at the opening of the national zoological collec-: tion at Washington. The question seems to be is he a bobeat or a bird. . a a Those who believe that the harboring of rene- gades in a political party increases the size of the party would be capable of believing that coax- ing a polecat to a Sunday school pienic would heighten the popularity of the picnic, _ Canada’s trade with the United States steadily increases. Thé pessimist who thinks that Canada sends us nothing but boreal blasts and bootleg booze should look over the trade satistics. The last election. gave the Republican party ample grounds for divorce from Senator LaFol- lette on the grounds of desertion, cruel and in- human treatment and non-support.

Hoover, president of Better Homes in Amer- fea, in an opening statement con- cerning Better Homes week demon- stration for 1925, which will be held May 10 to 17. i Mr. Hoover's statement is made in a foreword to the Better Homes Guidebook, issued” by the organiza- tion of which he is the head, which tells “how communities may be or- ganized for Better Homes demon- stratiors. In the last three and a half years Better Homes in America has been able to arouse a steadily increasing number of communities to the importance of encouragihg home building and Jhome owning; and the Guidebook for 1925 contains much information based on past ex- periences of many communities, both large and small. “Tt $s in the home," says Mr.Hoover, “that character and high ideals are best developed. Tho right kind of home-life makes for true success in life, and ‘means progress for the Nation as a whole, “To own a home anG@ to make it convenient and attractive, a home where health and happineds, affec- tion and loyalty prevail, brings out the best that lies in every member of the family. “Saving for home ownership, for instance, develops thrift and self- denial; a thing of lasting value is kept in the foreground,—and all energies are bent toward attaining t. Hours devoted to keeping a home in good repair, in making tmprove- ments that beautify it or Mghten the burden of housekeeping, develop persistence and thoroughness, and bring more direct returns as well. tness, order, and cleanliness are invaluable habits, and the careful observation and forethought needed to insure lasting ‘satisfaction from money spent for decoration, furnish- ing and equipment can be applied in many other ways. “Parents who save in order to own their own home are able to look for- ward with confidence to a happy old age, whereas the great majority who do not saye become dependent on samecone else as they grow older, It is by the familiar experiences of family life that thrift, honesty, stragihtforwardness and self-discip- u are best instilled. “In the crowded life of today there is danger that we may lose sight of the high standards for the home and the stimulus they afford. We all do better when we have a high ideal to live to. ‘The Better Hom n Améfica movement aims to give practical demonstrations of comfortable, healthful and attractive homes and to direct attention to the means, by which family life may be elevated. It recognizes, however, that it fs not the wish but the will not sentimental desire, but vigorous, well-judged leadership, that moves our national life forward. The cam- paigns provide a means by which the men and women and children of our citfes and of our farms may co-operate to encourage and facili- tate home building, reduce needless drudgery in household operations, increase good sense or balarfce in furnishing or decorating the home, raise standards, where necessary, in housing and family life, and, espe- elally, foster the fine ideals of the American home. - “As we enter the 1925 campaign for better homes, I hope that, every American community will ,consider articipatign.* The movement con- ns ev€ry householder, every home-maker, every. citizen. I be- speak active co-operation with the local chairmen on the part of all persons or groups interested in the home—of public officials, schools, churches, local civic associations, trade associations, and clubs. The home is the concern of all, and everyone should welcome the oppor: tunity to contribute to its welfare.” Mental Vacuums The General Defense committee, a radical group with headquarters in San Francisco, is circulating 2 pam- phiet that, for pure, unadulterated victousness, class hatred ‘and envy is the last word in a would-be sor- did_ propaganda. Unfortunately there will be those that read this propaganda that will take it in all serfousness. There are at all times people taking for gospel truth whatever they seo in print, without considering the char- acter of the author. The pamphlet is called the “Pen- alty of Progress.”” Its one and sole motive is to cause enmity and class hatred. It is the age-old cry of PUZZLE ‘SOLUTION [zJARS| 7 @ <|2]>| [0] 0] P| 1} LAN @ [m|"o}o|r| On a IO | 2] A] iG LA] Iw} LE | AI IN BRO} BO Hat Be OO Baa Bao GENRE OE Bo Ba He [>| fe a IN} IR] 1H] 1} rola) E [a] Ba HP] OEGWR BODO BEQRE OeWAo Al 6 | [A] fl [A] lo} | Infclop | HEEE SEOs Vy unionism versus capital.

They know nothing of development *be- cause of the great mental gulf which exists between honest and sincere thinkers and themselves. These lower mentalities of tHe hu- man family have nothing in com- mon with higher social and intel- lectual deve'opment. We in this great United States of ours have developed a strength, a magnificence and an undoubted promise which overshadow the fame and achievements of any former civillzation. f The average mental ‘development of these constant croakers is less that that of a child of 6 years. They howl and they wail and tear thé! hair, all to no purpose. These tconoclasts are unsurpassed for unintel’ectual and unintelligent activity. Where their brains should be there exists a vacuum; and all history has never produced their like. To criticize, condemn and com- miserate, is their chief stock in trade; while the whole truth is that these men and women who pretend to represent organizations have not the cranial capacity to lead anyone any place. Pride In Craftsmanship Addressing a recent meeting of the New York Building Congress, E. J- Mebren, of that city, heartily advo- cated the revival of- the mediaeval guild system iu the building trades as a means to the re-creation of the old-time spirit of craftsmanship. Such a movement, he pointed cut, has already been launched in this country with the endorsement of the most powerful and imaginative builders and architects. The most successful experiments along this line are credited to the Builders’ Congress of «Philadelphia and the Builders’ Congress of Port- land, Ore. Portland has a Guild of Building’ Handicrafts, which. selects workmen of outstanding competence, and, after examination of their work by a jury of experts, awards to them, if the report of the jurors Is favorable, the title of “guilds- man." The Oregon State Board of Vocational Education was so ‘favor- shly impressed by this-movement that it has arranged to present each Kuldsman with a gold button bear- Ing the seal of Oregon and the legend, “Guild of Building Handi- crafts. * In this connection Mr. Mehren re- ported that “at the recent formal installation ‘ceremonies one of the recipients made the very pertinent remark: “For forty years I have been a mechanic, and this is the first time I have been honored as such.” Mr. Mehren thinks “there is tremendous hope in a movement waich will bring out such an ex- pression,” and he is right. Warm praize wat given also to the Philadelphia Building Congress for its announcement that on the first of January next it will present certificates of competency not only to workers, but to architects and engineers, to contractors and sub- contractors as well, who prove them- selves worthy to receive them. to be hoped that In the all-in ness of this plan the main the revival of pride.in craftsman- ship will not be smothered by top- hamper. It is the mechanic, the handicraftsman, after all, who is most in need ef encouragement and honor, It is this that will most ad- vance the muth-desired roturn of the old craftsmanship, or guild, spirit. Such q revival, says Mr. Mehren, would stimulate creative in- stincts and desire for self-expression, tone up the whole outlook of ‘the workers and be a leaven in our industrial system. When Unions Employ “The American Federation of Labor's threat to boycott the various enterprises of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers unless its president, Mr, Stone, re-employs anon miners in the Coal River collieries will enlarge the issues in one of the most interesting labor controyersies that the country has witnessed,” notes the New York Herald-Tribune. “When tho dis- pute between Mr. Stone and Mr. Lewis, of the United Mine Workers, first arose it was regarded as a slightly amusing instance of labor being holst with its own petard. not appreciate the fra- grance of a Melachrino.

F, of L. cannot go into the matter without bringing up the whole questidn of the traditfonal union philosophy upon -which the labor movement has so far been enoducted. “Mr. Stone's crime is not the com- paratively minor one of refusing a wage contract; it is really the much worse one of showing the funda- mental weakness in that division of humanity into Wage earners and employers upon which the classic unionism has always rested. The union is supposed to be an organi- zation of wage earners, but it is be- coming more and more difficult to find people who are wholly and entirely wage earners. The pro- letarian is dissolving into the same mists which overtook the economic man of the last. century.~ What has happened is really very simple. The ‘war cheats” of earlier days, raised by the’ unions to enable them to fight their battles with the capital- ists, have become important aggre- gations of capital themselves and are beginning to follow the usual aceumulations. collieries and history of capital Mr. Stone's banks, other enterprises are by no means the only investments made by wealthy labor organizations, and in- vestments of this sort seem*to be in- creasing. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1924 4 ‘The old idea that labor problems are to be solved by destroying the imions has vanished; the newer one that they are to be solved by de- stroying the managements is getting into all kinds of difficulties. T! unions are here to stay, but the philosophy upon which they are apt to conduct their disputes appears to be facing a considerable alteration in coming years. The conversion of the laborer into the capitalist was one of the least expected conse: quences of the unfon movement, but it seems, with all that it in- volves, to be perhaps on: cf the nibst inevitable.” TEN WELLS COMPLETED LOS ANGELES, Calif., Dec. 2.— ‘Ten new wells were completed in Los Angeles basin oil fields during the week just passed.
