NO DANGER OF EXTREME RADICALISM. The Cincinnati Enquirer says “conservatism and sanity dominated” the German election and “it is not unlikely that in France and the United States the popular response will be much the same.” That is true in the United States no matter what politi- | cal party might control the election, and it is ulmost; certain that in France they will continue to have ni conservative coalition Government no matter which{ party might win the plurality in the parliament. None of the parties or political factions of im- portance in the United States are really radical as they understand radicalism in Burope. And none of the important political parties of France, includ- ing the Socialist, is radical in the sense that they} have radicalism in other leading European powers. | Great Britain and Germany have already chosen conservatism, and other great countries will do so‘ before the year is out without doubt. BACKYARD GARDENS COMING BACK. This spring and summer, if predictions come true, there will be more gardens in backyards and city lots than in any year since the World War. By a vegetable garden, however small, the family hard hit by unemployment can often eke out the neces- sary food supply. Many localities have planted “Subsistence gardens,” planned to provide jobs for men out of work, as well as food for their families. Thousands of acres of idle land, it is said, lie in vacant lots within the boundaries of our large cities. In smaller cities and towns there are more back- | yards and probably better soil than in large cities. Owners and tenants have been planting many of those spaces to grow food they can not afford to buy, and for the same reason community gardens are developing in many cities. All this is officially announced by the Department of Agriculture. It is easy to see, says the Bureau of Home Econ- omics of the United States Department of Agri- culture, that by raising some vegetables people can provide a part of their food supply which they may not have the money to buy. In one group of well- cultivated community gardens some years ago, the average return from a tenth of an acre of land was about $50 worth, of vegetables, on the basis of present prices. This represented 100 hours of work—four hours per week—which was all the time that the gerden needed throughout the season. ‘There is another advantage in having a back- yard garden. When the housewife must buy every- thing for the table, in a home where funds are short, there is often a serious lack of minerals and vitamins in the family diet. This is true because vegetables and fruits, which are rich. in minerals and vitamins, are among the most expensive kinds of food. The backyard garden will provide, at very little cost, the foods—the vegetables, at least—which not only improve the flavor and variety of the dxmyl meals, but also furnish the minerals and vitamins | necessary for a balanced dict. CONGRESS SCARED ITSELF. The House of Representatives almost scared itself to death when it defeated the sales tax. The wail that went up from the country through fear that the budget would not be balanced had not ceased echoing until a budget balancing tax bill went through, and ‘the Senate announced that it would practically immediately pass the House measure with little if any change. The new low level to which stocks sank after the defeat of the sales tax looked like a multitude of ghosts on a dark night to Senators and Representa- tives,—Democrats, Republicans and Progressives. Everybody hastened to get under covel as completely as possible. One Washington correspondent said the sales tax bill would have passed unanimously if it had been possible to get another vote on it a day or two after its defeat. Congress was ready to tax anything in order to bring in enough money to bal- ance the budget. DOLLAR IS WORTH MORE. ‘The investor's dollar today buys 125 per cent. more assets, 1325 per cent. more surplus and 17.6 per cent. more earnings than in 1926, according to an analysis of 30 high grade common stocks made by Administrative and Research Corporation, New York. A comparison of the above figures with the investment purchasing power of the dollar in 1929 shows that at year-end prices a dollar would pur- chase 79 per cent. in assets, 90.2 per cent. in surplus and 90 per cent. in eranings as compared with 1926. The companies included in the survey were: Al- lied Chemical, American Can, American Radiator and Standard Sanitary, American Smelting, Ameri- can Tobacco, Borden, du Pont, Eastman Kodak, General Electric, International Harvester, National Biscuit, Otis Elevator, Proctor and Gamble, Union Carbide, United States Steel, Westinghouse, Wool- ‘Gas Improvement, Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, |has the advantage of being, in a diplomatic sense, |{entirely respectable. |the frontier or putting them to death. Then comes |the old school, proud of his profession, and having Natter's fate was, however, another tragedy of the New York Central, Pennsylvania ‘Railroad, Union Pacific, Standard Oil (Indiana), Standard Ofl (New Jersey), Texas Corporation. The sympathy of hundreds of friends he made during his residence here at two sessions of the Legislature is freely extended to Representative Joe McDonald of Ester on account of the fire that destroyed his home and store. The Associated Press dispatch said that his loss would amount to $15,000, of which only $5,000 is covered by insur- ance. In re-electing Mayor Judson to be City Manager the City Council carried out the expectations of the voters who gave the Mayor almost a two to one majority. Mayor Judson has been City Manager for five years, and the people still like him Gov. Roosevelt is to make a campaign speech in the Middle West. It will probably be a good speech. That is the kind that Gov. Roosevelt makes. A New Mode of Conguest. (Manchester Guardian) Japan has evolved a new mode of conquest. It You begin, as with other rhodes conguest, by taking possession of a piece of ter- itory and by either driving existing authorities over the variation. Instead of hoisting a flag and an- nouncing to the world, “Whereas this was once part | of China, it is now part of Japan,” you establish an independent State, cajole, bribe or kidnap some un- employed royal personage, name him King or Em- peror or President of the State, create Ministries and discreetly bestow portfolios, and invite the Powers to recognise your State, mentioning that, for your own part, you have not quite made up your mind in the matter, but that on the whole you are in- clined to take a kindly attitude towards any people rightly struggling to be free. The plan has worked admirably in the case of Manchuria. An ex-Manchu emperor was transported to Mukden and now there | is a Manchurian Ministry whose members, though obscure, appear to have a high sense of duty and to be inspired by excellent ideas. One says obscure, but there is an exception in the person of General Ma Chan-shan, who, after taking part In what now seems to have been rather spurious fighting round the Nonni River, has accepted the portfolio of war. Unless he is assassinated, he should go far in the Manchurian State service. The forces under his control, being entirely Japanese, may be relied upon to serve him faithfully and to protect him in the event of any of the thirty million or so Chinese inhabitants of Manchuria failing properly to respect their Minister of War. What the British Govern- ment intends to do about the new State of Man- churia remains to be seen. On Monday Sir John Simon stated that “present information would make it premature” officially to recognise the State. But there will be more information presently. The Little Big Horn Tragedy. (New York Times) General Edward S. Godfrey of the old army died in a quiet little village in New Jersey on Friday at a ripe age of 88. He was a typical West Pointer of certain standards of behavior that are rather uncom- mon in this age of political influence. He never at- tained higher rank than that of Brigadier General, but he was retired for age loi before the World War. General Godfrey was at the time of his death the oldest graduate of the Military Academy and the only surviving officer of the Little Big Horn cam- paign, in which Colonel George A. Custer and 277 troopers of the Seventh Cavalry were killed to a man by Indians ten times their number, who were better armed with repeating rifles. i In the Little Big Horn campaign Edward S. God- | frey was a Lieutenant in Captain Benteen's force, which, with Major Reno's troops, was operating in support of Colonel Custer’s main body. When scouts had reported an Indian village in an unexplored country, Custer divided his command into three “bat- talions.” Reno was ordered to begin an attack on the village; Custer was to proceed up the river to reinforce Reno; while Benteen had orders to scout to the left and deal with bands of Indians he en- countered. Major Reno had only 112 men, and, finding in his front a greatly superior body of the enemy, halted, took cover, and finally retreated across the river. Godfrey severely criticised the tac- tics of Reno, holding that if he had engaged the In- dians their concentration on Custer might have been prevented. Reno had his defenders, among them General W. E. Edgerly, who was also a Lieutenant in Benteen's command. Judge Advocate Graham also championed Reno. In spite of a distinguished Civil War record, Reno was dismissed from the Army. There is no doubt that General Godfrey did his duty “as he s&w 1t" in condemning Reno. The Little Big Horn campaign. Lloyd George Adds Interest. (Manchester Guardian) With Mr. Lloyd George's return, politics take on a much more interesting aspect. He took the oath in Parliament yesterday, and on Wednesday delivered a speech which, in its liveliness and vigour, seemed like a return to the Lloyd George of the great period. It was a searching and devasting criticism of the National Government as a sham, a trap into which Liberals had been led by unskillful leadership. Mr. Lloyd George did not spare the Liberal Ministers and the plain moral of the speech is that they must leave the Government or be left behind by the tide of Liberal feeling. The party organisations are grow- ing more and more restive at the continuance of Free Trade Ministers in a Protectionist Government. Mr. Lloyd George endorsed Mr. Baldwin’s prophecy that there will be no election for four years. His appeal to all men of progressive mind to combine against the “hard barren materialism” which ap- pears to have triumphed, looked beyond immediate policy and the confines of his old party.

I could run an ac- count at any store in the city and they’d stand for it, they know I'm coming into a lot of money some day.” Kitty had turned away to pour fresh coffee. Gar could not see the quick color that flamed to her face, the way she bit her lips together. She'd been dangerously near to a retort that would have made Gar angry. When she an- swered, it was in a steady voic2 soberly. “T don’t want it that way, Gar And T want us to get ahead on om own. And we will” “Sure we will. And you're not to stew about money. Where arc those bills? Give them to me, I'T take care of them.” “But how, Gar” “Oh, T've got a deal on. If he keeps his eyes open a man in busi- ness can tum over a thousand any time he wants to.” She gave him the little packet of bills and he put them in his pocket. “After this, I take care of these matters at fthe office. I'm not going to have you fussing about them.” His manner was all tender. He kissed her, put on uis coat kissed her again. Kitty began nher with a light heart. Oh, what 2 goose she'd been to worry To have been afraid to talk to Gar about their finances. And what a man of the world Gar was get- ting to be.

But Gar was not in his office. Old Jona- than told her that Gar would nmot be in until four o'dlock.
