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

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

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

dtject to the same program.
