In"1 lf isJs 8 '"''Sand,'" Substantiatl'KwMuUv-a----W 'I'Q tir In his message to congreSi the president has outlinrj a constructive governmental policy. The political' advice of Oh a policy counts for! little for the essence of the program' no needful now to this country ia thep important thing. His open mind on what is best to do tvjth the railrouds ie highly commend able and if tfi president refuses to be switched to ang of th,e several J plana outlined until 3ch has been , , . , , , I eRelittloua.elana, every TOuAdvy,' thoroughly considered by CJ'ngressi. p UB v ' uu 03 ue believe hewill uphold the yisdom thi undoubtedly appears fti his lat est ational progDam. mlvucuty of irnnicdinte rcBunt)i- tion of jll public works, the0egcour- aging oMjuilding tf improving, both it? u-jmljjjc and private' woy, means employment of labor which, in turn, n id win national prospntrity and a sat isfied people. . Altfng 4ith the naify instructive jolicies mentioned 'y tbe president is government aid and construction of irrigation projects, swamp landand cut-over lands. From a sclffch stand point the great west and northwest is decidedly interested in this, and every encouragement win be given the ad ministration to pwecd along any line that will bring about such de velopment. Taken as u whole the president's stand on tho all-important reconstruc tion issues, the issues that arc bound to gvo perihaucnt, progressive ad vancement if followed, fs moct excel lent. A standing army of half a million regulol' soldiers is none too stoall. Make it a million until we ace ho' much good faith exists in this talk nhout universal peace. If Mooney is given a nejf trial, and there is ontc foason to believe he deserves it, the court should announce firmly that this is his last trial. Sheepmen like government price control. They have asked to have ft ontinued. Wheat rancjiers will not dtject to the same program. n Khisor JVillinm aHending church is in ironical as Jwhq James teaching n Sunday school class.

' Why wouldn't it be a good idea for '.he kaiser to board one of his fuvor Iv suhinaViiies, float out into the m til -lie of the Atlantic and settle down?
