There Is a balance which each of us must strike, between the demands of bread and butter and the call of that which Is higher. There is a void In the least of men which a bank roll cannot fill, writes Uncle Dudley In Boston Globe. To be sure, tho.-v who recognize the fact are usually unhappy at first. The demand is so Insistent for production and there is so little call for that which we would like to work at overtime. The happy life must make a space out In the back yard or in the attic if need be for Its very best. Sometimes It can be accomplished by spending very carefully and saving for the daj when time Is a man's own. Sometin.es it may be done by shifting to some other Job where there Is a better chance for real expression. The American unrest about which so much Is said today is not due, in most cases, to lack of necessities. Nor is ltulue entirely to pay scales. The workman, In whatever class, Is separated from the Ideal which he seeks. That Is why labor turnover remains heavy despite high wages. Teople are really seeking to find n place or to shape a world where they may wort: "for the Joy of working." ' "Our next president will be cither the jcn of & farmer or the son of a country doctor. The country has pnluced most of our presidents. Of the -7 men who have been -elected to be the head of our government, 10 were born on the farm. The list Include George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe. John Qulncy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Huron, James Polk, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Simpson Grant, Jumes A. Garfield, and Penjamin Harrison. Twenty-one preIdents have lived to complete their terms of office. Twelve of them retired to the farm. Twenty-two of our presidents have belonged for a part of their live to the- farming class.

TERSE TAGGARTISMS

I favor & liberal but business-like economy. Economy is itself a great revenue. Fint lee If our revenues are fluQcicnt, It not,, then cut off every useless appropriation. Sometimes more attention Is paid to spending, money .than to economy. 1 believe the taxpayers would like a rest . . The power to tax means the power to destroy. We do not want to destroy the earning power of the people by overtaxation. , . Let us not merely seek to find things on which to place taxes; let us seek diligently for those places where we may economize without in Jury to the public service. Let the future generation bear its ahare of the preparedness burden. I do not believe the people can be made prosperous by taxation, be it direct or indirect. There is much in the budget plan to commend k. I have been a member of the senate) 9 but a short time, but be my stay here long or short I shall always be found using my best efforts and judgment in cutting off what I consider useless or extravagant appropriations. From speeches made by Sena tor Thomas Taggart in his famous memorable fight in the senate, 1916, against "pork" raids on the United States treasury. M'CULLOCH COOL UNDER FIRE "Dr. Carleton ? D. McCulloch was one of the coolest men I over saw under fire," said C. D. Iteitenour of Union City in discussing some of his experiences overseas while serving with the Democratic candidate for governor. Mr. Iteitenour, now a student in the : Indiana University School of Medicine, was a first-class sergeant in the United States medlcal corps and was with the doctor from the time the latter entered the service May 23, 1917, until he was mustered out April 17, 1919. "I have seen him perform operations while shells were dropping about the hospital and while enemy aviators hovered overhead," said Mr. Iteitenour. "Dr. McCulloch ,was in command of operating team No. 19 attached to the Third French army at Compiegne when the Germans, crashed through the front. Although ordered to leave he stuck to his post as long as the stream of wouuded men poured ir After he had seen the patients safely on board barges he sent away all of his men with the exception of "a few" who remained with him. "It was that nfght that one of the hospitals was destroyed by aerial bombs and Dr. McCulloch had a very close call from a bomb that killed six horses not many feet from him. "He stood at his post operating on the wounded soldiers for thirty-six hours at. one stretch. It was for evacuating the hospital full of wounded men underfire that won for him the croix de guerre." James V. Fesler and those who supported him in the Republican primary race for governor charged before the Republican state readers that Warren T. McCray was unfit tc be governor. If they can substantiate these allegations they owe it to thi people of Indiana to make them public. Mrs. Harry S. New, wife of the United States senato frpm Indiana, referred to the league '6t nations as a "useless rag" in a political address at Indianapolis. But then Mrs. New had no son overseas, nor one who might be called In the next war. Governor Cex Relieves that American soldiers performed a better serv. 4 Ice overseas than a "campaign of bad manners," as charged by Harding, and has endorsed the American legion fourfold plan for readjusted compensation. The Republican national advertisement, "Warren G' Harding Constructlve American," will undoubtedly undergo some remodeling now that ' tho senator has admitted that' he Is "without a single constructive idea." I Warren T, McCray, the crown rrlnco of Goodrlchlsin, thus far has not referred in any of his numerous Beeches to the charge that he xnado sfortune oc the Chicago board ot during the war.

WSOfJ DODGED HUT HEKSURES

Record In Senate Shows He "MUsecT 165 Important Roll Calls Opposed War Ban on Liquor. VOTED AGAINST PREPAREDNESS The record of Senator James E. Watson, who Is campaigning for reejection to the senate by alternately declaring that the United States never declared war on Germany and that "We should make a separate peace with Germany," was placed under fire this week by a series of articles sent out for publication by the Indiana Publicity Bureau. Watson is shown to hare acted largely in accord wita Senator Harding, whose primary campaign in Indiana was managed by the Watson headquarters and whose nomination was brought about at Chicago through the influence of Watson and other members of the famous "cabal." On many important measures, particularly those relating to prohibition and patriotic measures, Watson found it convenient to be absent and he is credited with not voting on 165 out of 600 roll calls. Opposed War Prohibition. For Instance the Indiana senator, along with Harding, voted against an amendment regarding the use of liquor in military establishments and both voted to table an amendment offered by Underwood which would have included members of Congress within the provisions of the army prohibition act. He failed to vote when the Reed amendment preventing the sale of intoxicating liquors was passed on. Harding and Watson supported a motion to strike out the provision preventing the use of agricultural products In the manufacture of intoxicating liquors, and both opposed Sheppard's amendment to have the Reed bone-dry law apply to the District of Columbia. Watson, of course, supported an amendment offered by Harding to make the constitutional prohibition amendment inoperative unless adopted by the required number of states before 1923 and both Of the senators voted for a measure that would require the government to pay damages to property employed In the manufacture of liquor. On patriotic measures the Indiana senator opposed the administration preparedness bill before war was declared; although since he has' had a good deal to say about what he terms was the lack of preparation for war He also voted against the establishment of a National Council of Defense, the creation of the UnKed States Shipping. Board, the bill to erect a governmep plant to manufacture armor plate and the wire control bill. Failed on War Vote. For somj reason Watson laileu to vote when the United States declared war on Austria-Hungary. He supported a resolution authorizing the President to prescribe rules 'for the censorship of the press during the war, and voted against an amendment to prevent disclosure of information regarding military operations, and also opposed that part of the 1 espionage act that placed heavy fines upon persons guilty of disloyal and seditious acts and utterances. He was absent when a bill was Introduced giving all soldiers, sailors and marines who are permanently helpless $100 a month and he opposed an amendment providing that no civil service examination should be required of wives of military men applying for positions with the government during the war. He also failed to vote when Senator Smoot made a motion to proceed to the consideration of a bill increasing the rates of pensions for soldiers and sailors of the Civil war. The senator's antipathy to labor was evidenced by his vote for the anti-strike clause in the Eich-Cum-mlos railroad bill and his support of the stop-watch system In government plants. He failed to vote on the Adam8on eight-hour law along with Harding. He was aratn "absent" when the child labor law was passed and also did not vote on a bill designed to "protect the lives, health aid morals of women and minor workers in the District of Columbia , and to provide for the fixing of a minimum wage for such workers." Opposed Sugar Grant. Watson is having a good deal to ay to the farmers and in particular Is criticizing the administration for the high price of sugar. Yet when President Wilson asked congress for authority to purchase the Cuban sugar crop Watson voted against considering the grant. He also opposed government relief In the shape of small loans to farmers in drought-stricken regions and failed to cast his ballot on a bill designed to create a standard form of investments oi farm mortgages. He stood by the Lodge reservations to the league of nations, but opposed others that meant substantially the same thing. Since taklag the stump Watson, along with Harding, has "scrapped the league," and is basing his plea for re-eltctlen oa a separste ptace. J

WORK AND SAVE. The world owes no able-bodied slacker a living. He must go out among his fellows and earn It. The character of that living depends solely upon the mental and physical equipment with which he has been endowed, aided and developed by his own unceasing efforts. The work slacker in peace times is as much a menace to his country as his prototype In times of Mar. He is costing his country millions every year, and he It Is who Is pushing ever upward the cost of living through reduction of output and effort. More Individual effort and more production will bring down the cost of living and thereby remove distress, says Washington Post. Thrift Is the lever through which this warworn world Is to be stabilized, for uelther the nation nor the individual can get back to a rational basis so long as the desire io indulge In reckless spending controls It. "Work and save" should be the slogan of the rising generation, for upon the character of those now entering upon man's estate depends the future of this nation.

The colleges are producing graduates trained in practical and scientific farming, and these young men are In demand for farm managers and ranch superintendents at salaries ranging from $1,S00 to-$3,000 a year. This looks llko fine business both ways. It is well that the colleges recognize the Importance of husbandry and it is well that a student who painstakingly adopts such a career should find inistaut appreciation and reward. Agr iculture N Inclined to fall Into two lines the one-man farm where the owner can take care of production without much worry, about help, and the large ranch where, most of the work is done by machinery. Into either of these the college-trained farmer should fit to advantage. In a report made puITlic recently the Increase of suicide aAong children Is noted, a particularly sad feature of contemporary life. The ages of these child . self-murderers, boys and girls, average about fifteen and sixteen years. The lack of discipline and the consequent failure of character making, the inability in the yelf-indulgence engendered by the bringing up of youth, is, no doubt, largely responsible for the inability to endure any unusual strain or disappointment among the young. Whether or not this theory is correct, the increase of youthful suicides is a matter demanding urgent and earnest investigation and thought. nra to

A picturesque gathering of Japanese children waiting to be admitted at one of the primary schools in Tokyo. The little scholars are almost pathetically alike In dress and appearance. Most of them arc wearing the typically Japanese print gown, although here and there may be discerned u more elabx orate robe. The little boys have their heads closely shaved.

Authorities on the Bible are not agreed as to just how tall Adam was, but any boy could tell you if Adam had been a prize fighter. The volcano of Popocatepetl in Mexico is showing signs of activity, but President Huerta probably won't be able to make terms with that. What has become of the old-fashioned merchant who sold sugar merely as an accommodation to his customers and gave 20 pounds for a dollar? Dancing teachers want jazz done away with. The dance threatened to become such a go-as-you-please affair that teachers could be dispensed with.
