It will be remembered that at frst the gas explosion was blamed upon wicked Democrats, who sought in this way to kill off or stupify the patriotic Republican senators who were valiant- ly battling against the boss tactics of Lieut.

Toupin, it will be recalled. insisted upon the elimination of the “rotton borough system” in the state coustitution, whereby the country towns with slight population were able to outvote the populous cities in the senate, and in | order to bring about action he and his Democratic colleagues engaged in a filibuster.

A POLISH GENIUS Had Joseph Conrad been able to travel the seven seas on Polish ships. and had he thus been able to retain his ties with his native country, the literary genius who has just died would have returned to [oland when he retired from the seas, would have written his novels in the Polish language, and would neyer have known as a great English novelist. But because there were no Polish vessels of consequence, the young Cra- cow adventurer shipped upon 1ish ships; and through long years of {dentification with became a thorough Britisher in speech When he retired from been and manners, the gea and decided to draw nupon his vast experiences upon the de gtranga lands for the ‘teiling of tales he nate that were to thrill humanity Lurally settied in England and wrots In the language that is understood by the largest number of readers, But Peland will claim him as her own despite his expatriation.

We are told that they wilt be “natural,” or “placed very low."” ’l"hlsI gives the impression that in order to appear natural, corset staves will not be permitted to interfere. The corset trade has been dealt many a sad blow | by whimsical fashion the past few years, and it looks as if it will be un- able to recover until something is done to influence the fashion dictators in its favor.

This is entirely different from the experience in the wheat and corn country the past few years, The com- plaint has been general, borne out by figures from agricultural colleges and all investigators we have ever heard of, that their produets did not bring the cost of production. Undoubtedly a goodly proportion of tarmers could operate their farms efficiently and make more profits, But nothing in the claims of the most ardent advocates of soll- tiller efficlency ‘suggests such bonanza profits in a season as this Florida bank reports, No use paging Mr. LaFollette about it, however, unless Florida desires him as a citizen. And with such condi- tions existing in Florida, perhaps that is why W. J.

Sir:—For. audacious misrepresenta- tion, the attack upon Senator La Fol- lette issued in the name of the Swed- ish Republican league at the meeting here on Saturday last is about the limit. For nearly forty years, La Follette, backed by the Scandinavian farmers of the northwest, has stood in con- gress the feared and hated enemy of the machine politiclans of the old parties, To him, perhaps more than to any other man, the people of the country owe the spread of the direct primary, which in the west has given the voters in large measure real control of their elective officlals. In the easf, by means of the con- vention system which ILieut. Gov. Bingham so heartily commends, e political machines have been able for years to defy or defeat public senti- ment, In 1920, both national conventions declared for the sales tax. This was a unanimous declaration, as Mr. Bingham would have us be- lieve, of the sentiment of the parties. But congress did not enact the sales tax because the congressmen did not dare to do so. Even the machine leaders dare not affront public senti- ment beyond a certain point. La Follette with Senator Burton K. Wheeler (who exploded the oil bomb which drdye Daugherty from office) as candidates for president and ylce- president offer the people of the coun- try an opportunity to vote against the political machines. To Mr. Bingham and the politicl; this is treachery!! Of course. Just such treachery as Washington and Jefferson were gullty of in 1776 and Roosevelt in 1913. As Lincoln said, “You cannot fool all the people all the time,” What is needed now {s the forma- tion of bi-part{san committee to nom- inate candidates for congress fit to back La Follette and Wheeler, broad gauge men who will maintain the tar- iff, men'of resolution who will take ofiective measures to enforce John Sherman’s anti-trust law to curb un- lawful combinations in restraint of trade whether managed by ‘“malefac- tors of great wealth” or by malefac- tors with their fortunes yet to make. And tax exempt securities, the refuge for retired bootleggers and other retired millionaires must be taxed as the constitution provides. Yours truly, . J.'B. ALLEE. P.

There is no prosperity in working against each other or considering those who are not in our claes as enemies to soclety. 1t is as necessary to undérstand every class and their motives of labor as it is to understand, forelgners. The curse of any number of people, or any group of people, is isolation and provincialism. What makes a class dangerous to a country is what makes one country dangerous to another, that is to say, the two convictions; one that we are superior to others and the other that we should be afraid of others. Every was has sprung from these two things, whether it be a war of classes or a war between countriés. The sensé of of fear have been the two moving motives of war. superiority and the sense The more we understand each other and the less we fear each other Lhe less occasion there.is for conflict and the more occasion there is for cooperation. 3 The motto, “Blessed are the peacemakers,” is not confined te the Church, but to members of all classes and of all dountries who understand others. 1t is their business to make all those others friends afnd 6o-workers instead of enemies and competitors.
