The study of nature is elevating, and mi, its material value is the highest, yet it is neglected. The masses ru appear to be unaware of the most obyious facts and phenomena annot be said to have an acquaintance with the most elementary truths of science. In everything that re es to the material universe und them, they are blind. Many are hostile, as witness the Scopes trial, but inbdre u indif ut to the wonderful growth and extent of 'sci- entific knowle and live in a paradise in which curious fan- cies are of more importance than actual facts, In Sir Richard Gregory’s Discovery, 2 book about the spirit and service of science, there is a useful catechism: of nature, and “Do you wish your childrens’ education to cultivate su- preme regard for truth? Then let it include the study of na- ture, for in dealings with her every false coin is xorably is nailed to the counter.

Re ‘ ligion offers no inore than this. ‘ Blanton the Blah Mr. Thomas L, Blanton whe represents the seventeenth district of Texas in the lower house of congress, and who is uiever quite so happy as when telling the world what is wrong with it, is now gunning for Frank W. Mondell, former repre- sentative in congress from Wyoming and late Republican floor leader. It goes without the saying that Mr. Blanton is a Demo- erat. The specifications of his present assault upon Mr, Mon- dell are that he is a “lobbyist” and has organied tax clubs particularly in Texas and Iowa, the object of which was to gain some sort of control over the expenditure of state and local tax money and likewise the assessment of such burdens upon the taxpayer. Mr. Blanton further complains that these tax clubs through their officers have made plain statements to public officials eyen to members of congress that if they are not more devoted to the people’s interests in the expenditure of their money they will “encounter dead earnest opposition to re- election.” Mr. Blanton thinks this is all wrong and even sin- ful and ought to be stopped. We are not informed as to Mr. Mondell’s activities, but if he has been engaged as Mr. Blanton represents he has beeu engaged in a laudatory work. He has been a good Samaritan in the interest of taxpayers, and we wager they will uphold him. We of Wyoming know Mr. MondeJl. And if he is occupied in forming tax clubs, we are certain he will not roll down his sleeves and put on his coat again until there is a live working tax club in every county in every state in the nation. It is exactly what we need and Frank Mondell is above any other man in the nation to bring such a thing about. It all fits in with national economy now being enforced by Calvin Coolidge. We are pleased to know someone has noticed the saving at the federal spigot and the waste at the state and county bunghole. More power to Mr. Mondell and his tax clubs. Coddling LaFollette There were times when United States Senator Robert M. LaFollette was a Republican, but we have no record of the times when United States Senator Robert LaFollette, Jr., acted with the Republicans. And yet the supposedly real Re publicans on the Republican senate committee on committees have assigned the younger LaFollette to standing committe places as a Republican, although they were refused to his father. The day may come when a man is invited to join a church with whose creed he has no sympathy, although the \ proper procedure would seem to be to convert him first; the day may come when proven traitors are allowed to enlist in the army, but the day has not come yet; the day has come when a traitor is welcomed into full fellowship at Washing- ton. “God give us men” was not written of certain United States senators, but it could have been. : Not All Alike Chairman Green of the house ways and means committee has written an open letter to the people of Florida in which he says! “You never can make a really great state through col- onies of tax dodgers and money grabbers, parasites and coupon cutters, jazz trippers and booze hunters.” Whatever got Mr, Green in such a frame of mind we can vever guess. Let Florida have her fling. While she is enter- taining the class of citizens, he complains about, in such st uumbers, other portions of the country are enjoying 1 brief respite. Florida is quite a step away and who know: hether all can return to their former habitations in the ex odus bound to occur next spring. Aside from the class enumerated by Mr, Green there are nun r of fine enterprising citizens attracted to Florida by - the nd rush who are good citizens in any. section of the 2 country, even In Council Bluffs, Towa, : The Sugar Harvest a Initial payments aggregating $15,450,000 have been made 2 To sugar beet farmers for the rop by the Great Western r Ruse companys Colorado $7,250,000; Western Nebraska = ae Sten Montana Wyoming district 0,000 und Belle 3 Pour S.

We stand amazed before the marvel of today, which swiftly becomes the commonplace of tomor- row, In this connection certaln conclu- sions and experiments made by an East [ndian scientist appear to bring us nearer to the supreme harmonies and sacredness of being. This delver into the mysteries of nature affirms, with a calm finality, that plants ean feel like humans, The discoverer of sensibility in plant Ife contends that there {s no senaitiveness {n a human being which is not also found in plants, The mimosa, for éxample, has a highly developed muscular system, which contracts when struck, Plants also sleep, have thelr per- tods of consciousness and uncon- sclousness—they drowse,. sleep and awaken, refreshed.

When the old parties were disrupted by the revo- lution of 1918, Dr. Koch, who was then a member of the Retclistag, undertook to reorganize the Demo- eratic party by uniting the left wing of the National Liberals and many Independent Democrats. The chief obstacle which fronted the establishment of a coalition cabinet wag the attitude of the People’s party to the soctal and economic reforms demanded by the Socialists, Dr, Koch has had considerable experience in munict pal affairs, having been prominent in the council of the Democratic party since the National Assembly was convoked in 1919. He fs an authority on city administration and housing reform. Dr. Koch also. was minister of the Interior of the (irst post-war governments.

Ottawa, Canada, with wages nearly one and two-thirds times those of I ondon, Sidney, Aus- tralla, with wages almost one and a hal? times those of London, this Is what figures compiled by the [nter- national Labor Office show, accord- ing to the Ministry of Labor Gaz- ette of England. In Lisbon, sPortu- gal, wages are less than a third of those In London. while In Amster- dam, Holland, they are only slightly more than three-fifths of those in London. 5 ‘These figures show the relation of real wages and not the actual money paid; ‘That ts they are cpmpfiled on the basis of what these wages will buy. They show beyond a question of a doubt that real wages are being pald in these United’ States. They, answer the question, what does the working man get out of the pro- tective tariff. It requires a protective tariff to pay such wages as this. It doesn't require very much logic to show that If English goods were allowed to come Into this country free of duty and in any quantities the English manufacturers ‘desired to ship them it would not long be possible for American manufacturers to pay dou- ble the. real wages being pald in England. In England they can build just as Jarge plants, equip them with just as perfect machinery and can man- age them just as efficiently as they are managed here. The only advan- tnge the American. manufacturer would have would be in transporta- tion, He couid reach a part of his market {n quicker time and at less cost than the English manufacturer could ship here. If the American factory {s located on the Atlantic coast, however, the cost of shipping goods to the more remote parts of the United States would often be greater than the cost of shipping goods from London to New York. It surely would be absolutely im- possible to maintain the present wage senle figured {n real wages and not fn dollars 1nd-cents If this coun- try had a free-trade policy rather than a protective polley. “No two concerns doing business under the same general conditions and selling in the same market {n competition with each other can’ continue to have that difference in the wage scale. Conditions’ would be” bad enough if there was free and unrestricted competition between the manufac- turers of Engthnd arid those of this country. What would happen though, if our wage earners had to compete with those of Portugal where the real wages are leas than one-seventh ot the real wages paid in this coun- try? Tt is obvlous that the wage earner who would insist on free-trade must prepare to live on less than half his present real wage, must be content to enjoy only ‘walf of the good things of life which he now has, if free- trade becomes a fact in this country. After all. it {s. the wage earner who gains most, Our Industries have been ‘prosper- ous, they, haye been profitable. a srent many have made large for- tunes In them, Yet the number of wenlthy business men and manufac- turers In this country ts not so much greater per 100,000 of population than ts the case in other countries. The fortunes acquired are also not so much greater. There {s also an- other thing to be considered. Wage earners are not only receiving more liberal real wages than are being paid in‘other countries, but they are to an Increasing number sharing In the profits of the industries through ownership of »stock. This makes them more than twice as prosperous as those of other countries. They are not only the best paid wage earn- ers in the world, but a higher per- centage of them are also capitalists in’ thelr own right, If their employers make a lot of money they have to pay paft of the profit to them because they own so much stock. Had we turned to free- trade most of these wage earners neve? would tave owned this rtock for the very simple reason that they never would have had enough money with which to pay for it. When wage earners nct only can live on the scale upon whieh our wage earners live, when they can own and drive automobiles, when they, have pianos, phonographs and expensive radio sets In their homes, when they live in spacious and com- fortable homes and still have enough money left to buy stock, they indeed are prosperous. This, however, is not all, The children of our wage earners are attending college in ever increasing numbers. As a matter of fact the demands upon the col- leges are so great that these colleces cannot accept all the students that are offered them. Instead of living In poverty at these colleges as many students In Germany have to live, these children of our wage earners arg Hving ‘In comfort, in what might be consider- ed luxury by the people of other countries. The protective © tariff gurely is resulting in real wages for our wage earners. History proves that a certain por- tion of the people of any country will live in ease and comfort even though a large portion of the population Ix enslaved, It has remained for the Tinited States to prove that virtually the entire population may live ease and comfort and there be no slaves, There Js every Indication that the nrotective policy has developed this country to the point where there will no longer be low wages paid for any kind of tahor or of service, “Te have already ceased to import cheap labor as was done not long ago. We are now In an era where we demand hetter and more intelllgent labor and are paying it higher wages, ‘There {s no question about the pro- tective tariff belny in main respon- sible for this.
