THE MIDDLET0N CONCERT. , Ye Smudge Pot J ' By Arthur Perry. Wanderers returning from Califor nia, report that state wicked and pros- porous, and everybody tending to their own business. . The two leading Irish factions have established a branch of their 700 year war In New York City, the Free Stat ers and the Republicans, having one of their native, Impromptu squabbles over the possession and management of the Irish Republic consulate.

RAISINS v! ; (Congressional Record) I have here a little notation that 1 made In conversation with a man who came here from an lrrigatod section In Nebraska where they raise immense, crops. Ho is a banker thero, and ho told; me just yesterday that in his vicinity one man had produced 20,000 bushels of potatoes. The man made a mistake in raising potatoes this year. He said that If that man had produced sugar boets, while ho would not have made much, lie would have made some thing, but he produced 20,000 bushels of potatoes. Ho did not have money enough to harvost them. He hud to borrow some money. The man .who was l (talking with mo was one of tho offlrtfrs of the bank In tho locality that loanfi Jilm $2,0M(,on his potatoes. Thoy were, jiarvesico caroruny ana stored in a' cdfw, whorSMfiey are now. Ho Is unable to soil them for a price that will pay anything like the cost of pro duction, .i. . Mr.'-STANLEYi . Mr. President- Mr. NORRIS. I yield to tho Sonator from Kentucky. ; .Mr. 8TANLEY. Tho potato crop is always uncertain. Ouo yoar it Is a big crop and the next year It Is a little crop,. The famines In Ireland are at tributed to the capriclousuoss of this crop. - Whero thero Is a full crop it will produce more of ossontlnl foodstuffs to the acre than any other crop known, and the noxt year It Is liable to bo n complete failure. In dormany thoy have equalized this soasonnl chango by turning potatoes into alcohol, which Is under normal circumstances just as Balable a commodity as gasoline. . Does not the sonntor think that a sane regulation of the manufacture and sale ot alcohol would relieve tho farmer very much and find a market for tho potntoos? Millions pf gallons of that alcohol could bo unod in color ing everything we use, In driving auto mobiles. In making automobile tires, In 600 different essential articles, but that' business is practically at a stand still on account of the arbitrary, Inde fensible, and absurd rogulutlnns of tho government In controlling the manu facture nnd salo of alcohol. Mr. NORRIS, Lot me say In answer to the Senator thnt no legislation would cure all the evils. The market for potatoes. Ilka tho market for other products, will go dp nnd down. Thero is no question about that Neither is thcre...any question but what the charges for potatoes, as they travel from tho man who produces them to the mun who consumes , them, ..are many,, many tlmos the original cost of i the potatoes. ,. j ,,v . . ' j Mr'STANLKY. 4Flvo or six years i ago they were selling rnlsln grapes In SVesno county for 1 com a )und. ' After the enactment of certain KRlsln-' tlon here a great farm organizer of the west statod thnt those grapes went I nr to SO conts n pound.' (Irenes went I up within six months on the Orentj Lakes from $10 or $-0 a ton to $1-0 a ton, The difference Is this: The home brewer is utilizing the grapes to make beverage alcohol, and we can not uso imtntocs to make industrial alco-' iiol. NEXT Momlny niht nt tho Pnpo Theatre tho Artists' Course closes with a recital by Arthur Middlcton, the famous Metro politan buritone. The Mail-Tribuno has ured support of this series before for tho Mile reason thnt it regards tho encouragement of the bettor class of entertainment, in the nature of a public obligation, and it also re gurds tho success of this course, us imperative, if Medford is to re tain its reputation of artistic appreciation and is to enjoy tho finer tilings of tho future, particularly in tho musical line. A small group of Medford people have guaranteed this course, nnd unless this final concert is well patronized they will not only lose some money, but they will completely lose heart, and conclude that this community simply doesn't want anything in tho musical line, really worth while. ; Is that true? We are inclined to doubt it. Unfortunately the backers of the series have been unable to afford any extensive ad- xertisinff, and we believe public indifference has been largely due to luck of information. In an effort to overcome this handicap The Mail Tribune again urges the people of this city who like music, who want to hear the best artists' coming to the coast, to attend this recital by Mr. Middle (on. Uy attending they will not only have an evening of genuine enjoyment, but they will open the way for still finer musical attrac tions in the future. THE PRESIDENT'S VETO. THE ASTONISHING thing is not that President Harding vetoed the liursum pension bill, but that congress ever passed it, by such an overwhelming majority. - Such a bill allowing a widow or any woman who had "cohabited for two years" with a veteran of the Mexican or Civil wars, a pen sion of fifty dollars per month, would be indefensible at any time, but today with conditions demanding rigid economy by tho govern ment, such a proposal appears utterly iniquitous. Nevertheless, no close student of political practice will be sur prised if the measure is passed over the president's veto. The habit of voting for pensions, indiscriminately, of shouting "aye" to any inensurp that promises to bring in n few votes, regardless of its in trinsic! merit, has become so ingrained in the professional politicians' psychology, that courageous, conscientious statesmanship in con gress lias long since been expected only from a politically negligible minority. 'j( Nevertheless there must bo scores of Civil aud Mexican war vete rans who will commend the president for his courageous action. For rightly viewed such a measure is an insult to their record and their service. Quill Points (IimhI neighborhood: Any place where the rents are too high.

Keeler died Mon day nt his home in Brooklyn ut tho age of GO after a lingering illness. ' DUBLIN, .Jan. 4. (By Associated Tress). Joseph McGrath, the minister of industry, commerce and labor, is believed to owe his "life to a strange error In Identification mude last night when two youths gained an entrance to the ministry on the pretext of hav ing a mossago from a prominent lubor lender. Upon entering the room they point ed revolvers at a man resembling the minister who was there for a confer ence with him, the Invaders sharply ejaculating "you're McGrath!" A sec ond glance showed the youths they were mistaken In the identity of the man they were covering, and quickly pocketing their weapons, they turned and fled, managing to escape pursuit. A man is old when his arteries begin to harden or his purse strings begin" 'to tighten'. !';.,"'. .." . Tho best argument in favor of light wine and beer is the fact that the TuVk is a teetotaler. , That economist who suys tho cost of necessities is coming down, hasn't bought his license tag. - Breeding counts for much, bftt it isn't the fact that his father was a man of leisure that keeps the mule from making an ass of himself, Nature evens the score. And as a rule the man who isn't loved by bis fellows, loves himself enough to make up tho deficit. In this free and glorious country any poor boy can climb to the top and learn to refer patronizingly to the "common herd." Wo cuss diplomats for malting wars, but never yet have diplomats made a' war without the active co-operation of national prejudice How unfortunate that the only men who know how to handle world problems should waste their time in villages whittling goods boxes. Correct this sentence: "Willie," said the mother, "this is the fourth timo I have told you, and you know Mamma never speaks to you but onco." ' ' ' RipplingRhumes Walt Mason A COMMON FAILING ON FOOT James Kickshaw is polite, a Chesterfield is ho; ho. always treats his neighbors right, he's thoughtful as can he. If ho should step upon your corn, by some unhappy chance, his breast by bitter pangs is torn, remorse is in his glance. I've seen him ehnse for half a mile, upon n rodhot dny, to capture some old fellow's tile tho wind had blown away, lie has his gracious bows aud books on tap for young and old, his courtesy to either sex is something to behold. Put when ho climbs aboard his bus, and steps upon tho gas, ho is another sort of cuss, his charms of milliner pass, llo knows tho traffic rules by heart, he knows they're safe nhd sane, and yet ho seems to think it smart to treat them with disdain. He cares no hoot for others' rights, he owns the right of wayj he runs without his lamps o' nights, ho hogs the road by day. Ho travels like a house afire, and as ho crosses lowu lie seems to have a strong desire to run tho voters down. And when he's parked his deadly van, and left it for tho night, he is-n:;ain tho siniling"mnn, most thoughtful find polite. Ho gives assistance to the lame, helps out tho human wreck, nnd bows to girl and withered ilame until he sprains his neck.
