ticn for equalization. Others point to the war production of our farms as showing what they tan. do if promised reasonable reward, and that even the war production kept pace with American consumption. Yet others ask whether with the reconstruction of Europe and the decline of the foreign demand upon our farms profitable prices can be maintained and are met with th rejoinder that falling prices will supply more labor to the farms and provide an automatic adjustment.

THE COMING CONVENTION. A3 the time draws near for the national republican convention nest week, the interest in what the delegates will do is cumulative and speculative. The first ballot or two, it is admitted, will mean nothing. The tactics oi the.s candidates wU! be to rush the fighting in the aru':;s slates ami capture a sufficient number of delegate.to carry the convention on the initial or second !.';; h, having failed, the great struggle which will ! i:-t. from now until next Tuesday is centered on three points: ( I To win the maximum number of uninstructed

K '. h in- his own way, srme times quietly and un:nrusiveiy; sometimes with acts as beautifully staged i as well timed as the succeeding phases of a play, but

with the main thing in view of winning the of the arriving delegates, the foremost aspir-

:-s for the honors have commenced to make their bid.

A POPULATION FROBLEM. Ten years a?o 7 per cent of the population of the T'nited States was in the country districts and 46.3 in the urban communities. It was then predicted that in a few years the drift to the cities would soon place more people in the towns than in the rural regions. There is no doubt that this condition has leng ago beer, reached. Forty years ago seven out of every 10 Americans lived in the country sections and but three in town. Twenty years ago there were four town dwellers to every six ruraSists. It was as has been seen almost ."ii-5 0 a decade ago and at the same rate of progress a 33 per cent increase in the number cf urbanites and only an 11 per cent increase in ruralities, the ratio between 1D00 and 1310. the city folk were yearly tippinir the farm folk higher in the air. But that was not all. The drift to the towns has been increasing in the last 10 years by leaps and bounds and Torse than that, the war shut off immigration to replace the lost farm labor and today the census calculators, noting the growth cf urban coram unities, are looking for a sensational drop in the rural ratio. This is much more than an academic question. The remarkable decrease in the number of food producers, f'upled with a remarkable increase in the number cf those fed away from the farms, threatens to become rn acute problem. Some look to the greater use of rt.achinery in the fields and to more Intensive culriva-

A RELIC FOR MT. VERNON. A new relic has been added to the historical collection at Mount Vernon. It is the sash worn by Gen. Hraddock when he fell mortally wounded. Next November there should be added the defunct peace treaty, a.i typifying the mantle of internationalism worn by Mr. Wilson when his political prestige was mortally wounded by the voters of the country in reaffirming their allegiance to the brand of Americanism set forth in Washington's Farewell Address. COLBY "GOES ALONG." The impassioned plea fcr sympathy for the invalid of the white house which Secretary of State Colby made before the New York Press Club must satisfy the distinguished patient that Mr. Lansing's successor is following the Wilsonian mind while the political waves are dashing high. In fact, if Mr. Wilson applies his academics to the Colby address with the analytical force he has applied at other times he may conclude that the new secretary cf state is imitating the Wilson mentalit ya shade too well. When Mr. Colby asseverates that civic events in the United States should have taken a different route because "the great issues of the war are still undermined" he is confusing the issues of the war with th issues of peace. Unless there has been a complete revision of aims the "great issue" of the war was Prussian militarism, its program and purposes, whether the "world were to fall under its conquering heel, or save itself by defeating the monster and insuring peace for all the nations. The great issue of the war was a militaristic world or a world without militarism. Prussian militarism was defeated and the nations relieved of its menace. The world was "made safe for democracy." It was the great issue of the peace that brought President Wilson into conflict with his fellow Americans who have in different ways, in congress and without, expressed disapproval of his share in the peace. The great issue of militarism has been pushed to one side by a scramble for territory and long drawn squabbles over disputed frontiers. Whatever has been directed against the struggling man in the white house was because of his connection with these secretive means whic!i would have drawn us into the distribution of territorial loot. The "great issue" of the war was settled IS month? ago. The unsettled issue is the division of the booty which Sir George Paish says is cause enough for Amrrican disgust with the brutalities of European militarism still rampant, but which Americans believed they had done so much to destroy. It is only the great isue of peace that remains undetermined.

WHAT OF THE HARVEST? An Impressive cartoon by "Ding" in the New Y-n k Tribune pictures the farmer on his knees today pleading with th farm help not to go to the city where $7:30 per day is the chief attraction, and the city wage earner, next fall, on his knees at the farmer's door pleading for food, ( nly to be met with the reply that "we raised only what we needed for ourselves." Like most cartoons, the picture is an extravaganza, but it is not s'o far from the truth as some might think. There are too few producers and too many consumers.

THE ELECTION" of Senator Underwood as minority leader of the senate is another bit of southern domination that northern democrats protest.
