COOPERATION WITH FARMERS. Th- suggestion in the Country Centleman thai larrm-rs be l-t in no.re fully on the public administration of matters In which they are eomerned, deservt s corsiilcratioti. One co.!ii: lain t along ihi line is ihat. while the secretary of c 'i i ulture and the federal horticultural board are giv.n wide powers in the checking of insect pests, natlv or fot iign. th sc powers are not clearly dctmed .; that state organizations or individuals may understand thorn. As a result, efforts are sometimes made to block quarantines or measures winch sh iiilu hi- enforced for th iomnton gooti. "No law r.f otcenicnt ." says the articl . 'rin get für without a constant campaign of edua.tlon and enlightenment conducted right aloir; with tlu xtf'!iiuo of law." Another sour e of triujble is th.it the farmers have no vo:ce in impo-i';.' nuarantines or instituting eradication campaigns, and the federal authorities have smelimes acted without consulting, or in direct opposition to th- (pinion of l.uo entomologists in states where insert pests have been found. "Yet it might seen but common s--. n.-e that the men who have to foot the bilks or those who would be uppesed to be familiar with actual conditions ought To hae some voice in the decisions." It is proposed as remedy for the situation, in addition to the clear d tinition of policies and tk campaign of enlightenment, that the agriculturists of the country be represented on the federal horticultural bvard by perhaps one farmer and one nurseryman. If thi- ropo. fails, it is suggested Unit advisory croups o farm representatives, me?tinsr at stated intervals, could do much toward accomplishing the tl"sind purpose. r.u: the former plan is rightly preferred.

PARTISAN CONNIVANCES AND OUR PROPOSED WOMAN'S CIVIC LEAGUE. The movement of the L-agm of Women Voters to organize !oca.Hy a sort of wo mans' civic league, may or nu not b. a it p in the riuht direction: this dependent upon wh ther it is in tho right direction that the ttep is taken. The announced purtiov, pj to vori lor legislation in which tranun art particularly interested, in city, state and nation; and, in municipal matters especially to concern Ojme'iVts reg.rdle -s cf party, with law enforcement, and work for the nomination of candidates who ar fit timber for the olhcea to which they aspire. Such purpose is ccmniendaide. Believing in tho honesty of Women, their ambition to be right and do right, th hih-raindedness of their undertaking must pass unquestioned. The only question H what will the r.uua Ly "reg.udle.s of party" when it corr.e.s to redjeing- their program to practice? Will they, due to party influence, pique, prejudice, bo honestly able to condone the wrong: Ttfrard'.es.s of party" when it is their party, and minimize or discredit tt right. "regardless of party," when it U the opposition party this after the manner of some, very good men. ikor Carsou coiuitiut; tho rt.cnt election of

Floyd O. Jeilison to the oillce of prostxutlng attorney. W. Albert Slick to the orlice of treasurer, in J IjuIs Duck to the office of sheriff, as a popular lndoraeme nt of hia administration in the city. He admits that, they were the candidates of the city hall machine, exactly a it was presented to the public before th election, but. of course, denied until after the ttes were counted. The fact was plain enough from Mr. Jellison's mode of campaigning, and ids announced platform of 'cooperation" with the city hall crowd by "cooperating with the police," but a great majority of the voterj seem to hive thouxht that such "cooperation" would i,e fine and so they are going to have it. Now. about February, mark the time Just before the primaries. another great "clean-up" is to be staged, and they say. with the "cooperation of the prosecuting attorney'. ofiice, the victims will do Jailed." IVrhnps sol Hut if he vi dims are jailed it will have to be on a different quality of evidence than they have had many times in the past; evidence never' obtain, d, or perhaps, turned from whisky Into water at the critictl moment; evidence thai will be good, we are told, because the. ladies are going to be instrumental in getting It, and so on. and t-o forth evidence to be gathered, not by tho police at all, hut only to their credit when the administration wants to assume it, and to be denied when for ;he purpose of getting primary votes the denial will be more beneficial in the particuler neighborhood. Why wait ladies, until just before the primaries, to bring about this "clean-up," Jf it is true, as nsserte! that you are to have any hand in it? " Fventüallv ! Why not now?" The staging of a series of raids next February means simply that it will be used as a club over the heads of the accused men, to make them do the bidding of the city hall gang at the primary, and that if they do that; well, there won't be another election for year and they may be allowed to get off. If they don't do it, and the; citv hall gang is defeated, they can go to jail. On the other hand to. it will of course be used to beguile the mere virtucus people of the town, and particularly the women who believe in elecency and law. into thinking the administration is really with them. In the hope of securing their support also. "Ah. yes." they will say, "this is what we wanted to do all along, but until now we haven't had a prosecuting attorney who would 'cooperate with the police r " That has been their eanmuflage system nincci Mayor Carson took otlice; frequent raids of disreputable resorts, getting it into the newspapers, and then, s'-curing no evidence with which to go to trial, blaming the prosecuting attorney because obliged to dismis the cases, or for being unable to secure eonvictions. They didn't want convictions. What they wanted vu a record for making arrests on their part, and of failures to convict on the pari of th prosecutor, all for party effect and to beguile and befool the voters. A woman's civic league in South Iiend, intelligent ami non-partisan enough, net to be humbugged by such camouflage methods, can be of great service te the city and should be encouraged. It can be of great service not only in matters of public morality and law enforcement, but In a number of other things. To be worthy of the name and worthy of support, however, it nmst not permit Itself to degenerate into a j.artisan aid society, 'employing its announced non-partisanship to strengthen its partisan force. What the women say they have in mind as a program for their proposed civic league, is exactly what the women may well do, but there are women politicians well as men politicians, and expecler.ee; in other cities and states where female suffrage has been the vogue longer than here, it is notable that these women politicians are quite as wily and unscrupulous as some tu the males; just as susceptible to intrigue and connivance as are their brothers. We pass thk comment along as a word of warning, rather than of suspicion; warning to those women who really mean to be right, and ! rieht, and to whom non-partisanship doesn't mean mono-partisanship in ellsguise; who care -more for the public welfare generally, than for partisan victories. Tlu women of every community, now that the k haw the ballot, should be the heart ef !t; indeed, the very soul. In fact, they always have been, but with the ballot in their hands, they ought to be able to use it to strengthen tin- community backbone; its moral srine. "Men of Massachusetts." said Charles Sumner, in slavery tlays, "we neeei three things. The first is Uickbone; the second is backbone, and the third is backbone," and it is the tame now as then. The cry of the age is for women of moral courage and men of moral trength. If a womans civic league can generate these things, and place the end to be attained above the mtans. eliminating partisan selfishness, and working for the public good, very well. Everybody should be for it. Wo will be.

Many a business man, sliding down from the peak of high prices, finds himself landing in the valley of despair. And yet he might have considered that a pleasant, fruitful valley if the air of that mountain reak hadn't turned his head. o ef all the stories of plutocratic, ostentation we've hard lately, the worst is that yarn about the Maine lumberjack who ate 4 .eggs at a sitting or. if you prefer, a setting.

OUIl COUNTRY'S FUTURE. I want to see my country the first of all the earth A land where genius may glow 1 wherever it lias birth, A land of sturdy manhood, a land of women fair. Where opportunity's a job which every man may share. I want to see my country supreme on land and sea. An inspiration and a guide to all who would be free, America an honest land, a happy land and true, The guardian of a glorious past, the seeker of the new. 1 know my country's courage can blaze the paths afar, And carry hope to faltering hearts, no matter where they are; I know her genius can shed its rays from pole to pole And build of her a nation strong, a nation with a soul. Beyond the horizon of time her rising glories glow, A promise of the splendors that her future shall bestow;

Great wisdem shall be cradled here, with each succeeding age Great men shall rise te write their fame on history's fhining page. I want to see .my country grow greater with the years. With more that makes for laughter and less that brinpra the tears; America the free land, the land of mirth and song, Too great to do a selfish deed, too big to shield a wrong. . (Copyright. 19 JO.)

TpHIS is the time of the year when our Budget Plan is most helpful You ought to come in right away and find out what it can do for you. J In the first place, it will put a New Edison beside your Christmas tree, (how the family will rejoice!) In the second place, it will stretch your Christmas dollar so that youll hardly feel the purchase. The Budget Plan treats the New Edison as on essential of life, such as a home, and arranges payments on the sound "time" principle. It combines modern business practice with thrift, f This way of treating a dollar actually makes it go farther. Let us explain how the Budget 11 an brings the longed-for New Edison for what" an. extremely ordinary gift would cost, and makes 1921 thrift pay for the balance
