WOOD Oy ECOXOMJ8T6 In a recent interview printed in the Tale News. General Wood spoke of "the active interea* which Tale men are taking In political affairs as a decided stop in the eradication of one of the greatest faults that the country has today • • • the Indifference of so many educated men of the right sort aa to national affairs.” There are these days a good many educated men who are not of ”the right *ort/' and it was of these that Wood mast hare been thinking when
ha said:
While in college n man should lip stress on the. study of political science, civics and sociology. The Uttirerefties should take great care in selecting the men who teach these subjects Broad-minded and fair men. not quibblers. should be employed. A good man in the chair of political science can do great good, and a quibbler. with his narrow-minded, destructive criticism can do a corrs-
sponding amount of harm.

In Nebraska, ooe-third ef the preetneta are yet to report, but their vote la not likely to change the result materially. Here, again, though Johnson ha* a plurality of 14.000 over Wood, he ia 7,*S® votes short of a majority, the combined Wood and Pershing vote exceeding by that margin the vote tor the senator. This i* rather remarkable In view of the nature of the campaign, under the inspiration and leadership of Fenator Norris, that was made for him. It is known, too. that the Noqpartlsan League is strong In KebraAkA. and it backed Johnson. Yet it !« demonstrated that there is a very robust conservatism in the state — else the senator would have had a heavy majority. Perhaps the fact that Bryan, though elected a delegate to the Democratic national convention, was the lowest man on the ticket, points
the same moral.
It ia more than likely that the American people generally have come to the conclusion that they ftsva'liad enough trouble, uncertainty and confusion. and decided that what they need is peace with some measure of stability. They can get such reforms as are needed, aqd put through the work of reconstruction without in any way unsettling conditions. Indeed, reconstruction must be largely the work of the people themselves effected through economy, hard work and greatly increased production. It ia well therefore that the people should look to themselves rather than
to the government.
HIGH COST CAMP At OX TO EXD The department of Justice is reported to be preparing to abandon its campaign agaihst the high cost of living, because it ha* been unable to accomplish much. The newspaper file# show that, the department of Justice made many brave assertions of what. It intended to do. Last August Attorn*y-Ge n « r hl Palmer promised vigorous action against profiteers, large and small. In the same month he said that definite progress was being made against the high cost of living. In September he sent word to Indiana that profiteering should be made unpopular, and in October he was warning beet eugar wholesalers that 10 cents a pound was enough to charge. In December, he asserted that food prices might be expected to deeiine with the advent of the new year. He issued a statement when the live big packing houses were "dissolved” assuring the country that much more had been accomplished for the American people through this oompremise than would have been possible in a l mg-draws out legal battle. The promises made were full of encouragement but they were not fulfilled. The attorney-general would have made a great record had the handlers of necessaries taken him at his word and reduced their prices. Instead of that many price* were Increased. So the time has come, it seems, when premises will be reduced to a minimum. The attorney-general Is engaged In seeking the Democratic nomination for President. Meanwhile, It must not be expected that he can give too much attention to cutting the living coats. The whole campaign df the department to reduos food prices Is somewhat reminiscent of the king of France who marched pp the hill — and then marched down again.
the anti-Wood cabal. . There is no direct primary in the state and manipulation by the organization was
easy.
When the presidential campaign was yet young, the word came from the inspired senatorial sources at Washington that Iowa would be safe
fM6 *»• for Lowden. That Iowa ia now in-
structed for Lowden shows that the senatorial group that is opposing Wood knew what it w-as talking about. Sometimes public sentiment interferes with such predictions, but public sentiment is a thing for which the political machinists have little regard. The prophecy was made in the east several weeks ago that at the proper time Pershing would be brought into the campaign in order to prevent Wood getting a plurality in Nebraska. This was another prophecy that came true In detail and the delegates from Nebraska are expected to follow the preference plurality and support Johnson as long
as he Is a possibility.
Senator Kenyon, of Iowa, ofie of the senatorial crowd, may be assumed to have considerable political influence In his own state. He is touring the country in the interest of Johnson. He has been speaking in New Jersey for the California senator and is scheduled to speak for Kim in Indiana. As fhr as known. Senator Kenyon made no effort to campaign for Johnson in Iowa. If hts service* as a Johnson speaker are deemed valuable in New Jersey and Indiana, they should be much more so in Iowa. The rather obvious Inference is that if Kenyon did not appear actively as a Johnson campaigner in Iowa there was a good
political reason therefor.
The plan of the senatorial group from the start—and Senator Kenyon U certainly In a position to know its desires —was to stow Iowa safely away for Lowden. In other states where the sentiment for Leonard Wood is strong, the group resorted to various means to hold down the vote of Wood and one of these methods was to promote the candidacy of Johnson. So Senator Kenyon spoke for Johnson in “certain places," but
not In Iowa,
The voter who has watched the game may understand that Kenyon by his course is contributing his share to the ingenious methods that have been devised in the fight ef the “allies" against Wood. Any candidate will do if he servea the purpose. In New Jersey and Indiana It may be Johnson who aids most in the fight against Wood; in Iowa, Lowden. The idea Is to "mix things up.” That may cause some apparent inconsistencies; but what ia inconsistency when politicians are scheming to perpetuate
their power?

Reports from Nebraska say that Mr. Bryan, elected against great opposition to the Democratic national convention as delegate-at-large, owes hia success to the decision of the Qer-man-Amerlean voters. TheT are "wet." but they are anti-treaty. They wanted te vote against Bryan because he does not llks bser, but they had to vote for Johnson because he doe* not like the treaty. They let the "dry" into the convention by turning from the Democratic contest to vote for Johnson in the Republican. HIGH WATER RECEDING; RAIL SERVICE MED DAMAGE NEAR CONNERSVILLE LESS THAN FEARED.

One of the difficult phases of the union labor movement Is the opposition of union leaders to laws sped!cally requiring voluntary aaaociations to establish legal responsibility and Mm right t© *u* and bo *ued. Four ■late* now have such laws, but Jadtll four they were opposed aa working a hardship on the unions. Gther states are being urged by the National Association of Manufacturers to enact similar* laws, and the union leaders are etili active 1% their o*poaition.
