NOIUTOe
It mutt bo understood that toil alone
makes for accomplish ment and ad
vancement, and righteous possession
la, the reward of toll, and Its Incentive.
There la no progress pxcspt In the
stimulus of competition.
The chief trouble today Is that tho
world war wrought the destruction of
healthy competition, loft our store
houses empty and there Ih a minimum
production v. hen our need Is maximum.
Maximums, not minlmums, Is the call
of America. It Isn't a new story, bo
cause war never fails to leave depleted
fttorehiMiScs nml always Impairs the
efficiency of production. War also es
tebllKboH Its higher standards for
wages, nnd they abide, i m
higher wage ti abide, on one explicit
condllli'n that tho wamo earner
give full return for tho wages received.
Greater Production Neewsary.
I wunt, somehow, to appeal to the
sons nd daiig.htors of the republic, to
every producer, to Join hand and bmin
in ,im,Mi inn. more produc tion, honest
... i..,l..
to a recommittal to simplicity of liv
ing, to that prudent and normal plan
of life which Is the hoalth of the re
public. New conditions, wtilch attend amaz
ing growth rind extraordinary indus
trial development, call for a new and
forward looking program. The Ameri
can farmer bad a hundred and twenty
millions to feed In the home market.
jand heard the cry of the world for
food and answered it, though he faced
an appalling task amid handicaps nev
er encountered before.
Contemplating the defenselfissness of
the individual fanner to meet the or
ganized buyers of his products and the
distributors of the things the farmer
buys, I hold that farmers should not
only be permitted but enoouraged to
join in cooperative association to xeap
the just measure of reward merited by
their arduous toll.
Aid to Farmer Pledged.
Our platform Is an earnest pledge
of renewed concern for this most e
senllal and elemental industry and In
both appreciation' and interest we
pledge effective expression in law and
practice. We will hall that coopera
tion which again will make profitable
and desirable the ownership and op
eration of comparatively small farms
Intensively cultivated, and which will
facilitate the cnrlng for the products
of farm and orchard without the la
montable waste under present condi
tions. America would look with anxiety on
the discouragement of farming activity
either through the government's neg
lect or Its paralysis of socialistic prac
tices. A Republican administration
will be committed to renewed regard
for agriculture and seek the partici
pation of farmers iu curing the ills
Justly complained of, and aim to place
tho American farm where it ought to
be highly ranU-d in American activ
Hies and fully sharing the highest good
fortunes of American lifo.

ject arc tho policies of irrigation and

The menacing tendency of he pres

unsettled and fevered cond tlnns caus
ed by the war. The manifest weak
ness in popular government lies In ho
temptation to appeal to grouped citi

Government Should Protect Sonde.
I believe UiIb govornment should
make It liberty and victory bondi
worth all that its patriotic citizens
paid in purchasing them. I believe
tho Ui burden imposed for war emer
gency must be revised to the needs of
peace and hi the interest of equity irt
distribution of the burden.
I believe the negro citizens of Amer
ica Bhould be guaranteed the enjoy
ment of all their rights, that they have
earned the full measure of citizenship
beatowed, that thel sacrifices in blood
on tho battlefields of the republic have
eHtl0 JJl 9t (Cgedom and
opportunity, all of sympathy and aid
that the American spirit of fairness
and justice demands. I believe there
Is an easy and open path to righteous
relationship wtth Mexico. It haa'eeem
ed to me that our undeveloped and
uncertain and infirm policy has made
us a culpable party to the pevernment
al mlsfwrtunos In that land. Our re
lations ought to be both friendly and
sympathetic. We would like to ac
claim a stable government there and
offex a neiRhborty hand In pointing out
the way to greater progress. I be
lieve in law enforcement. If elected
I mean to be a constitutional president
and it is Impossible to ignore the con
stitution, unthinkable to evade the
law, when our every oommltal Is to
orderly government.
TJne four million defenders on land
and sea were worthy of the best tradi
tions of a poeple never warlike in
peace and never pacifist in war. They
commanded our pride, They have our
gratitude which must have genuine ex
pression. It is not only a duty, it is
a privilege to see that the sacrifices
made shall be requltted and that those
still Buffering from casualties and dis
abilities shall be abundantly aided and
restored to the highest capabilities of
citizenship and lta enjoyment.
American Womanhood Praised.
.The womanhood of America, always
Its glory, ft a inspiration and the potent
uplifting force In Its social and spirit
ual development, Is about tobe' en
franchised. Insofar aa congress can
go the fact is already accomplished.
My parr edict, by my recorded vote,
by personal conviction, I am commit
ted to this measure of justice. It Is
my earnest hope, my sincere desire,
that the one needed state vote be
quickly recorded In the affirmation of
the right of equal suffrage and that
the vote of every citizen shall be cast
and counted on the approaching elec
tion. And to the great number of noble
women who have opposed In convic
tion this tremendous change In the
ancient relation of the sexes as ap
plied to government I venture to jjjead
that they will accept the full respon
sibility of enlarged citizenship and
give to the best in the republic their
suffrage and support. This is not only
a fortunate people but a very common
seuie people with vision high but their
feet on the earth, with belief in them
selves and faith In God, whether ene
mies threaten from without or menace
from within, there la some indefinable
voice saying "Have confidence In the
republlo; America will go on."

MOST POPULAR GIVEN NAME
"John," or Its Derivative, Common In
All Languages Explaining Size
of Jones Family.
John Is the most common given, or
Christian, name we have. Its history
Is curious. It came originally from the
Hebrew Jehohannen, "God Is gracious."
The Greeks made It Johannn, and In
the feminine it .became Anna and Han
nah. The name was unknown in Sax
on England and was seldom used
nmong the Normans. In the Dooms
day book the record of the inhabitants
of England which William the Con
queror had compiled, only two Johns
are listed, and one of them Is a Dane.
The German form Is Hans, and some
times Johnn. From these we have the
surnames Hanson and .Tohnnson. The
diminutive is found in Hanks, Hankln,
Hanklnson, Jankln, Jenkins, Jenson
and Jennings. . Shane is the Irish form
of John and Jean the French. Consid
ering the popularity of the name John
and the fact that at this time It was
spelled "J-o-n" and pronounced "Jone,"
the size of the Jones family will be ex
plained. The name means "son of
John." John Jones Is found In almost
every community.
Nothing Green In Death Valley.
The natural vegetation of Death val
ley is scant and stunted. There is not
a green thing that grows there natural
ly. The thorny mesqult trees nre of a
yellowish-green tinge; so, too, are the
crease bushes, while the sagebrush is
either a yellowish gray or the color of
ashes. A little round goaird lled tne
desert apple grows In some of the can
yons. It turns yellow when ripe and
has a thin meat within that Is exceed
ingly bitter. The cactns that grows
beyond the valley in abundance is
rare here. In short, the vegetation of
Death valley Is. terribly scant, even In
comparison with the Mojave desert.
