My nelchbor baa a garden fair and all
the beds are neat and trim,
liut he has hired a stranger's hand to
come and do the work for him;
He walks among his shrubs and vines
and proudly he admires them
there.
But he who'd eomo to know the
flowers must give a garden con
stant care.
My neighTHir has a trar.lcn fair and
all his beds ure neat and trim,
Rut all the blossoms that are there
are merely pretty flowers to
him;
He never knows the fight for life a
struggling- little rose bush
makes
Xor sees the new shoots spring up, be
cause he never hoes or rakes.

(Copyricht. ls21, by Edgar A. Guest.)
WE NEED A REAL FOREMAN ON THE JOB
THE following comment on affairs political and commercial,
and which contains more truth than poetry, is from the
Salem Capital Journal.
Quotations of standard sticks on tho New York stuck exchange have
dropped to the lowest level in 20 years and the market generally shows a
collapsing tendency bringing ruin to thousands. And the stock panic follows
Immediately after the adoption by congress of the fake resolution for sep
arate peace with Germany, which accomplishes nothing but gratifies the sen
ate cabal which rejected the peace treatvv
Had the treaty of Versailles been ratified, and the peace of the world in
sured, the industrial and economic crisis would long since have passed and
Justness been on the mend. The probabilities are that the present low mar
ket level would never have obtained.
Liberty bonds, which President Hirdtng promised to restore to par. con
tinue to depreciate to new low records, as a reward for patriotic sacrifice.
Nothing has been done to maintain the credit of the bond issues, and no plan
formulated for their restoration to par. The only action taken Is that of the
federal reserve bank, which side-tracked them in favor of non-taxable se
curities and these further depreciated them as collateral.
The emergency tariff proposed as a remedy for the farmers' ills, is in ef
fect. It includes a duty on cherries and yet cherries are selling at 4 cents
a pound, or less than the tariff duty. I-ast year, without a tariff, cherries
fcold for 14 cents. And other products besides cherries given protection in
the emergency measure, continue to sell at less than cost of production, il
lustrating the folly of the tariff cure-all.
The white house passes reconstruction up to congress and congress has
r.o remedy except the old tariff bunk of 30 years ago by which contributors
tu the campaign fund are rewarded by protective duties on their manufac
tures. , And the nation is left to drift from bad to worse with the peace of
the world unsettled and foreign markets vanishing and taxation for mili
tarism leading to bankruptcy.
The chief trouble at Washington thus far has been lack of
leadership. The president's views, as far as they have been
made known, have usually been sound and broad. But he has
not attempted leadership of the sort practiced by Wilson and
by Roosevelt. The government needs a vigorous minded fore
man, capable of shaping policies and driving them through.
It is the president's natural task and it is a task that cannot be
handled by any congressional soviet such as now seems to be
running affairs. Congress is noted more for its incapacity than
for its efficiency. It cannot even control itself. We are now
hearing from various sources opinions to the effect the senate
oligarchy has proven a failure at constructive work. We are
going to hear that more and more unless there is a change in
affairs. The president should assert himself before it is too
late.

WHY BUSINESS IS SLOW
THE Chicago Tribune makes the following interesting com
ment on the farmer and the business slump :
Approximately half the population of this country lives nn the farms
rr In rural communities Inimfd.ately dependent upon the farms. Half the
normal buying power of the country, therefore, is on the farms. More than
one-quarter of this buying power, or more than 12 per cent of the total buy
ing power of the nation, has been wiped out entirely by -decrease in the value
of farm products. Twelve per cent is probably above the average margin on
bunauesii throughout the country. Itouglily. therefore, wc may say that all
the normal margin of business has been destroyed by the sudden -decrease In
value of farm products without Corresponding decrease In other commodities.
Naturally business can hardly survive.
The extent of the blow to the farmers and to those lines of business de
Dendent noon the farmers te revealed in some Illuminating figures prepared
by Prof. (J. F. Warren of the Xcw York State Agricultural college and in
dorsed by the federal devilment of agriculture. He says the product of an
,,r n,o,.n ,1,1 thia vnr will brimr only CI uer cent of the Quantity of
ceneral commodities that it would have brought as a five year average be
fore the war. In spite of an exceptionally large yield of corn per acre last
vear on aere's yield, if. sold this year, could be exchanged for only 73 per
rent of the average quantity of other commodities that it would have brought
as a five year average before the war. An acre of oats would buy 74 per cent
of the usmil quantity of other things and a bushel of oats would buy 63 per
cent, the least In fifty-five years. Wheat would lead with 81 per cent, the
lowest in twenty yesrs.
It la evident that the purchasing power does not exist to give employment
to the wage earning population at the present rate of industrial production
costs. This is made especially empltatic when it is remembered that nearly
all the raw material indusyies are in virtually as bad a state of depression as
agriculture. '
The remedy, according to the Chicago paper is to develop
markets, both domestic and foreign. It contends that if de
mand does not elevate the price of farm products the only al
ternative will be to bring the price of manufactured products
down to the level of the farmers' commodities.
THE OTHER FELLOW AND HIS RIGHTS
tions has already cleared away many
misunderstandings. Neither the peo
ple nor the government of Mexico
have any grievances again.st either
the people or the government of the
L'nited States.
"For ten years Mexico has suffered
all the hardships of civil wars and
revolutions. There has taken place a
great spiritual and moral cleansing.
though it has been terribly costly.
Half a million of her sons have been
killed, and much of her material pro
perty and treasure have been wreck- i
ed and ruined; f
Protection is ;uara!itcl.
Today Mexico Is ready to receive
foreign investors anrl foreign settlers i
and give full protection to their
rights and properties. Claims for
properly damages suffered during the
revolution will be submitted, and a
decree has already been issued fixing)
a certain term for submission of these
claims. Mexico has no desire or in
tention to evade her responsibilities."
The Mexican president then went
on to say that Mexico is taking sli ps
to meet her foreign financial obliga
tions. He continued:

DOINGS OF THE DUFFS
T N connection with traffic eases many unpleasant incidents
1 occur from lack of simple human courtesy on tne part 01
npiinlp. Thpre is the driver, for instance, who races swiftly
along a street, blaring his horn at a pedestrian and laughing
when the latter jumps to safety. Such a driver is always a
prospective defendant in a manslaughter case and has no busi
ness running a car. But insolence . not always at the wheel.
The average motorist is considerate of others, having no desire
to annov or endanger people., But such a driver often finds peo
ple on foot who have little sense of caution and little courtesy.
They make trouble and cause danger when there is no neces
sity for it.
If people, in cars or on foot, would think first of the other
fellow and his rights there would be few traffic accidents and
the world would be the happier.
