Principles and Personalities as Features in Presidential Campaigns and Peculiarities of

Nothing at all. thank you' We borrowed the idea from Michigan's rn- t i t r c. I i c ropublb-an (Jaily the Detroit Free Pre s-s. partly owned by Sen. Truman II. Newt-err;, convict, and revoieed, since the San Francisco convention, in numerous republican orpar.v Pray te 11 us what it is that they would shield? It Is a poor uuj.icion that cannot work both ways, but If you can avoid being suspicious, the Idea li still a good one. "Principles are eternal. Personalities aro only transitory. The. question is not half so much who 13 going to do a thing for h'.3 country as what he is Koing to do for it. It is not even so much a question cf how he is going to do It. Of course, the character and reputation of a man la hound to throw fome light upon the probability of his executing a principle, and for that reason such things are difficult to avoid particularly with tho.se men and women t whom things that savor of the unsavory are the teeming limit of their comprehensions. Presumably ours la a government by law; crystallzatlorj cf varying modC3 of political faith. Men fuprly enly the at.ncles of crystalizatlon and tho executive force. To be pure, w must have men who are dependable, but after all isn't it the character of tho crystallzatlons, at least as much as the characters of the men, that should give U3 deep concern? Assuredly It 13 easier to throw a brick-bat at a man than at an idea; perhats even easier than to throw a bouquet at them but that Ls merely a matter of predominance of animality over mentality in the makeup of those who indulge in it. Intellectual incapacity, unwillingness and the inability to comprehend, laziness In the matter of studyingup, incompetence In the acquisition of rellablo information, going to tho bottom of things, analyzing them, and thinking It over, arriving at one's own conclusion; such is tho reason that so many peoplo have to be fed on personalities, enabling them to exhibit their assumed brightness by throwing bouquets at this candidate, if he's theirs, and brickbats at that candidate, if he isn't theirs. Inheritance, environment, self-interest and personalities, accordingly have always played a very prominent, if not the most prominent part cut the greater figure, In our American politics. What proportion of the people do you suppose have read the republican and democratic platforms, carried by practically every newspaper In tho country, that they might have them and get acquainted, nearly as possible, with what tho two parties have been promising to do, and not to do? Experience dictates le.xa than 10 percent. Everybody, however, took notice that Cox and Roosevelt and Harding and Coolidgo had been made the party nominees. Oh yes, wo talk about ''government by consent of tho governed." but consent as to what? Mainly consent to this or that man, dependent somewhat upon his own shortcomings and virtues, and otherwise whether or not he ls of the same party as our fathrs havo been, varied occasionally by matrimony, social cast, or the politics of our more acceptable s neighbors. Thl may not bo a very glowing j icture of the political Intelligence and sagacity of the average American citizen, but it is th truth, and if you oro one of tho school whom it hits which, pardon us. of course you are not, hero is hoping that your anger at the slap In your face will drive you to do a little investigating of something else besides candidates. Make a few investigations of the principles Involved In the campaign along with your listening for tho splatter of mud that you may help spread it. when it pleases you so to do, and bo there to whitewash it over. If unsuitcd to your own party choice. and this comment will not havo been In vain. We have too many people In this country who are prone to leave their politics to tho oliticians, much fcfter the same fashion as they leave their legal difficulties to their lawyers, their diseases to their physicians and shoulder their sins upon their Sa.vior. Politicians like It too, quit as well as Jo the lawyers, medics and clergy. Iawers. are not Jerone to encourage study of law by tho masses; nor do medics favor the family doctor book. The clergy have always condemned as heretics the thinkers in matters of theology who hae prope-s-d any adance. and tho politicians are just a. keen as the lawyers, doctors and clergymen, to keep tho masses tinder their thumb?. They e'o not er. courage the Tank and file" to study platforms and principles; are. indeed, largely Instrumental in the inauguration cf the rnud-hurhng contents sometimes to detract attention from the platforms and principles. This is particularly true, for instance, when It is a platform like that bullt in Chicago und in a few rr spect., or cr wo I'tohAS. like that other one at San rr.tnclsco, and not intended for too cl.se inspection. It 1 high time that we people of America ccass this subserviency to the politic, iiis i:i these matters. Thlr.RS vou!J not be in the 1 h.iotic condition that they arc today were they not pl.nir.g the people for fools. Congress woul 1 not have dared to let a (.ir sl;p by without at least an atteir.pt at reconetruction lr cislation, contenting itself with throwing mud at the prtsi.lc nt and tho league of Nations.

WHERE TO HIT.
UCH has been ald and written as to the cau3es
and reasons for the high cost of living dur
ing the last three years. Numerous investigations have been started at several points and shown more or less speed for a time. Some of these Investigations are yet going, and some are gone. But no dccrea.se in tho cost of living has been noticeable. A few dealers in life's necessities have been prosecuted, found guilty and have paid lines. And the high cost of living goes merrily on. Tho prosecution and conviction of a few small profiteers semi-occasionally will not bring down the cost of living as long as present conditions which control the supply of necessities exists. Neither wholesale or retail dealers In foodstuffs and wearing apparel in the cities and towns produce any part of that in which they deal. Every article, from tho greatest to the smallest, comes originally, in some form, from the farm. Many articles of food and clothing nee put through many processes of manufacture, refining, etc., before they reach the ultimate consumer. Nevertheless, they are the product of the farm not of the manufacturer or the refiner. A concentrated effort on the part of the country's Consumers to get and keep more people interested in farming will solve the problem of the hlgq cost of living. Tenantless stores or dwellings in any city or town bring about low rents, and the longer they remain tenantless the lower the rent of necessity goes. On the other hand tenantless farms bring about high prices of foodstuffs and wearing apparel. And the longer farms remain tenantless the higher go prices of these commodities. The war called our boys from the farms. Thousands of them gave up their lives for their country. Thousands were disabled for life and other thousands have found other occupations more to their liking. Consequently wo have thousands of tenantless farms. Just as long as these farms remain tenantless, Just so long will the cost of living soar skyward, though wo hang a profiteer every morning before breakfast. And not alone in the agricultural sections does this Condition exist. In Allegheny county, Pa., tho county in which lies the industrial center of Pittsburg, for instance, there are 200 tenantless farmr, according to a report of the state department of agriculture. It kays: "State ngricultuaral experts who have been going over reports In regard to ten.mtless farms believe there are over 200 In Allegheny county. Almost 100 have been listed and in some cases photographs have been taken of the buildings on idle farms which are In a good condition and could be worked at a profit. In Armstrong, Uutler, "Washington and "Westmoreland counties there are also a number of idle farms, some of which, state reports sav, look as though they havo been abandoned entirely by their owners. How any thinking person could hope for worthwhile relief from th high cost of living with conditions like this existing is not quite clear. It Is not a matter of legislation and litigation so much as adaptation. Every encouragement possible should be offered able-bodied men and women to take up farm life. They are needed on the farms today just as much as were our boys in France in '17. And they will find the task much more pleasant and particularly more remunerative than did the boys over there, despite the absence of movies and the snob veneers of city life.
MENTAL1SM VERSUS MILITARISM. TIIEIiE is good doctrine in the CJreek ideal of a sound mind in a sound body. Those who oppose military training for th youth of America, fearing It would make us militaristic, can not havo the same objection to physical education. Draft examinations which showed deficiencies in physical development emphasized the necessity for health supervision and Instruction as well as development of the mental lowers of our youth. So somebody wants to know: "When an epidemic is threatened or disease gets a foothold all preventative measures and precautions are invoked to suppress it. Might it not be far cheaper to the nation to develop Found bodies to resist disease than to take steps to eradicate It after long neglect has invited its entrance?" Certainly! Certainly! Put to do that you need rot mould our millions of young men into so many bricks cast after the same models of sweet subFcrvicncy to a few mm "clothed in a little brief authority;" mere military- scoundrels, perhaps, mon Intent upon maintaining their positions, and training to kill rather than keep well.

Husbandettes and Other Husbands By Helen Rowland Through a Widow's Lorgnette
"uh dear!" sighed the Widow. "It would be so much easier to givo delightful House-parties, if one did not have to invite all the liltle annexes and appendages, and supernumeraries." "Meaning stray bachelors, I suppose, and other driftwood on the tide of life?" suggested the Bachelor, as he watchtd her address thu last lavendar-tinted cnvclonc, and carefully lick all the mucilage oT the flap before closing it. 'No, Mr. Weatherby," corrected the Widow. "Meaning all the little grey moths to whom the m.ott brilliant men are invariably married, and all the husbandettes' and husbands and liances of the most fascinating women? Why do interesting, attractive people always seent to draw such perfect blanks in the marriage lottery, anyway? Why do thj peaches always seem to pick prunes In the garden of love'." "Perhaps," said the Bachelor, "be-cause they have so little time to give to that sort in thing. It takis. concentration to rind a really desirable life-mate. You can't do It in a summer afternoon, or on the sidj or bitwein flirtations," or between danci s." The Widow shook her bronze head, ruefully. "No," die declared, "it's not that, at all. It's because they hae such bad taste, such astonishing caprices. For instance, I've seen a beautiful, fascinating girl, with dozens of suitors, deliberately choose the runtiest, stupidest, must colorless, umntevesting specimen out of the lot. Thev always do. And the most strikingly brilliant men invariably pick either brainless gctse, or little drab frumps lor wives. That's what they want " "Then, ir..aybc, they arc more to bo scorned than pitied," put in the Bachelor, cheerfully. "After all, if your husband or wife suits you, isn't that all that is necessary .' "I suppose so," acquiesced the
they would submit to it. Lots of people would be perfectly satisfied with what tliy have married, if tho rest of the world would only let them!" "And maybe," exclaimed the Widi-w, with sudden inspiration, the women who have married the most 'desirable' and 'successful' husbands and the men who have marrie-d the most 'perfect' wives, aren't the happiest in the world, aft r all!" "Von said it!" muttered the Bachelor fervently. "It's no sinecureliving with somebody who ls so

flawlessly superior that you feel like a. worm
most of the time." "And perhaps," continued the Widow, "if the average disappointed wife Mould only glance around appraisingly at the husbands her friends have drawn, she would discover that, after all, she had gotten the one she wantetl, and would stop envying other women their 'luck!' If several women could exchange husbands for a day, no doubt they would all be around before sundown, trying to get back their nice cemfortable 'old thoes' again. Most wives

" "No doubt of it," agreed the Bachelor with conviction. "NthiiKg but a imachy piece of human mess would cling to the man of granite, anyhow. His wife rarst be either a parasite or a shadow." "And the wife of the human-dynamo must lead the life of a tirem.an." rejoined the Widow. "She has to be ready to jump ever tinn the door blows open. .hr. never knows what is going to happen next." "Which goes to prove," concluded the Bachelor, '"that matchmakers are alwas trouble-maker. Yen nc or can tell by appearances just what sort of mate will make any man or woman happy." "Nor by looking at a marriage frcm the outside, just uh it the rt- i in it!" laughed the Widow. "After all." she added, "the sct t of a happy marriage doesn't consist in getting a perfect husband or an ideal wife, but in getting one th it is a perfect lit for your temperament, and an ideal match for jour tastes." "Your own ideal." interpolated the Pachelor, decisively. "And when ycu havo a difficult temperament and luxurious Last es." continued tho Widow, "no doubt a bit of bric-a-brac, like a husbandetfe or a toy Pom is metro soulFatisfying than something s'did. l:kc a coh renter.
