Editorial Correspondence
Rockford, I1L, July 14 Back to the "Old Homestead."
It is almost the only one left on "Main Street" unchanged
since 1888. Four of the old homes to the south, all in a row, have
be n torn down and carted away. On the area left, Sears-Roebuck
will erect the largest retail store in Illinois, outside of Chicago,
with a river-bank parking place 100x1000 feet. To the north a
huge apartment house of red brick has just been completed and on
the corner of Main and Fisher " avenue, the Standard Oil will
soon erect a super-super service station.
So "Time Marches on" and right over the "memories so dear
to our childhood." But you can't stop progress not for long
at least.
And this is "progress," according to the local C. of C. .
The "head of the family" would not have thought so. Nor
Ralph Emerson whose "old homestead" several blocks to the south,
with its 3 ugly stories, basement and cupola, is another landmark
resisting the tide of commerce.
Ralph Emerson was the founder of Emerson-Talcott comp
any, at one time the leading manufacturer of farm machinery in
the middlewest but later bought out and merged with International
Harvester.
Mr. Emerson was not only the richest and most respected cit
izen of Rockford, 50 or 60 years ago but the most impressive in
appearance. He was tall, always dressed in black and carried a
gold-headed cane. His abundant white hair and flowing white
whiskers gave him an Old Testament 'appearance except for
his black silk hat there was a strong suggestion of Angelo's "Mos
es." And as Mr. Emerson was not only a pillar of the Congrega
tional church, but a regular attendant. there in, we have an idea
he did nothing to discourage the Biblical impression.
..
The undersigned when on the staff of the "Rockford Repub
lic" once interviewed Tycoon Emerson. We walked up the steps
and to the third-story "office" determined NOT to be impressed,
but failed completely. We left, not only with the knowledge that
Ralph Emerson was a direct descendant of Ralph Waldo Emerson,
but the close personal friend of Abraham Lincoln, and in all likli
hood had it not been for Mr. Emerson's guidance and frequent
advice, this uncouth country lawyer would never have been elect
ed to congress, much less have been the country's saviour and
the immortal founder of the Republican party!
That may give a wrong impression. Ralph Emerson of Emerson-Talcott
was not a vain man nor a boastful one. But he was
the most impressive human being we have ever come in contact
with not only in appearance, but in what he said and the pontifical
way he said it. Had he been a reincarnated "Moses" we doubt
if the youthful city editor .would have been more convinced that he
had been in the presence of true Greatness that the message
had been delivered from a sort of Midwest Sinai. Youth and the
small-town view of "Citizen No. I" may have had something
perhaps a great deal to do with it. But it was an unforgettable
experience.
Since leaving Medford we have failed to talk with a single
Taft supporter; in Washington there was a strong pro-Taft atmos
phere but we never happened to converse with any. In New York
there was even a stronger pro-Eisenhower atmosphere,, and as
remarked then, everbody was for the General or everyone we
met.
But not in Rockford, Illinois, the county-seat of Winnebago
county! We took a walk around the business section this a.m. and
talked with several old friends. (There are a few left perhaps
half a dozen out of the 125,000 inhabitants.)
The pro-Taft batting average is to date exactly 1000. They
were not only 100 per cent for "Battling Bob" in the recent con
vention, they still are.
And hold everything! They not only believe everything Col
onel McCormick of the Chicago Tribune has said, they use the
exact phrases he used in the recent dog-fight. We could hardly
believe our ears.
In our considered judgment the Chicago Tribune politically
speaking is the worst newspaper in the United States, but never
again will we question its influence. Never before, in fact, have
we observed first-hand by word of mouth such evidence of the
tremendous influence the editorial page of a newspaper can. exert.
We are still staggering under the impact.
'
What is the answer? .
'
Is this section of the Midwest so bigoted and isolationist BE
CAUSE of the Chicago Tribune; or is the Chicago Tribune that
way, BECAUSE of innate ignorance and provincialism of the
Midwest?
In other words which came first: the chicken or the egg?
As our friends happen to be reasonably intelligent and en
lightened in NON-political directions, we have to believe the Trib
une must be given, the credit. In other words the egg came first
a bad egg that hatched out! "
Everyone asks what we thought of the convention, and one
person, a bit more discriminating asked Ye Editor's opinion of the
GOP platform. .
' ' Answering the last question
Chicago platform.. Why should
party platform when immediately after the . election everyone in
cluding those elected, forget all about it?
More than that. It is hard to form definite judgments of any
thing so" INdefinite as this 1952 declaration of political faith.
It reminds us of Senator Taft in the recent primary campaign.
Our old friends here still uphold the myth that Taft is so honest,
so uncompromising and so outspoken one ALWAYS knows just
where he stands. He. may- be right or wrong but he is never on
the fence.
He ISN'T? . .
' Robert Alphbnso has been nowhere else since he succumbed to
that bite of the presidential bee so completly, and his record as
officially transcribed proves it.
He has been against isolation, and for it.
He has been against McCarthyism, and for it.
, . He has been for the UN and AGAINST it. '
He has been for the Marshall plan, and against it.
He has been for the Korean war voted for it and against
it.
He has been on both sides of practically every important
issue, and except for the issue of sin, the GOP platform takes
a similar bewildering course.
But the undersigned finds it hard to get very indignant about
it.- We will be surprised if the Democratic platform is much better.
.
Whatever else happens in the U.S.A. during the year 1952,
it is hard to see how one of the greatest bumper crops in history
can be avoided. Never before have we seen such corn, not quite
"as high as an elephant's eye," but it soon will be, and without
exception, mile after mile, a delight for sore eyes even if the
eyes belong to a rank outsider, who never walked behind a plow
and never expects to. v
' ' We know one dirt-farmer not far from here, however, who
is CONVINCED that if the detested and wicked Democratic party
should remain in power, not an ear of decent corn will be harv
ested after the 5th of November! Don't laugh. SHE honestly BE
LIEVES it! R.WJt .

Matter of Fact
TRUMAN'S CHOICE
Washington In the next great
drama to be staged at Chicago,
the most important actor will
remain in the wings (or rather
here in Washington) until the
grand climax. By an authorita
tive estimate, Harry S. Truman
can swing at least 400 Demo
cratic delegate votes to any can
didate the convention likes; and
can give - at least 200 delegate
votes to a candidate the con
vention doesnot like.
Such, at any rate, is said to
be the President's measurement
of his own power in his party.
All those close to Truman agree
that the President is dead-set
against being drafted himself.
And they also picture him, at
this decisive moment, as being
in the mbod of a cheerful trav
eler happily surveying a Swedish
smorgasbord table.
It is quite possible that the
President has already made his
choice among the bewildering
variety of Democratic candidates
who constitute the smorgasbord.
If so, he has only whispered it
to one or two confidential agents.
In any case, one can venture
a highly informed guess as to
where the choice may fall, and
where it will not fall. Proceed
ing by the method of elimina
tion, the candidates who are
highly unlikely to get the Presi
dential nod are the following:
SEN. ESTES Kefauver of Ten
nessee. Truman's low opinion
of Kefauver is unchanged, al
though those close to the White
House say the President will not
interpose a veto if the conven
tion goes Kefauver's way.
Sen. Robert A. Kerr, of Okla
homa. Kerr is a Truman crony,
and is supported by other Tru
man cronies, but his associations
are too oily, and Truman thinks
he has no national standing.
. Sen. Richard Br" Russell, of
Georgia. Truman likes and re
spects Russell, and is grateful
for his cooperation in the effort
to work out an agreed civil rights
plank: But he feels Russell can
not carry the big northern states.
AMONG THE serious, active
candidates, therefore, the
President's choice may be con
sidered as lying between W. Av-
erell Harriman and Vice Presi-
dent Alben Barkley. Each of
these two has his own special
attraction and drawbacks in the
President's eyes.
Harriman is a 400 per cent
Fair Dealer, who would fight it
out with Gen. Eisenhower on
domestic issues in the hammer
and-tongs manner Truman ad
mires. Harriman's candidacy was
strongly encouraged by the
White House. It did not begin as
a serious candidacy, but Harri
man has made it into a serious
candidacy by his own sheer guts
and determination. The Presi
dent has been much impressed
by reports recently received of
Harriman's performance in Colo
rado and other Rocky Mountain
states. Moreover, he likes Harri
man best of all the candidates.
The objection to Harriman is
that his nomination would com
mit the Democratic party to an
extreme and radical strategy.
Initially, the President favored
such a strategy against Gen.
Eisenhower.' The South was to
be cast to the winds. A strong,
aggressive fight on home issues
was to win the northern states.
But the recent performance of
Gen. Eisenhower and the Re
publicans in general, has made
this strategy less attractiver And
because of the southerners' op
position, a Truman nod to Harri
man would be almost sure to
split the Democratic party.
AS FOR VICE President Bark
ley, he is the candidate of
the Senate and not of the White
House. Truman does not have
much love for Barkley, despite
the faithful service Barkley has
given to him. Yet Barkley is a
vigorous campaigner. He would
unite the party instead of divid
ing it. He has a -surprising
amount of hidden northern sup
port. The objection to him, both
6 Roland Coe
By Joseph an-
Stewart Alsop
I in the eyes of Truman and of
jthe party in general, is simply
age. Because the Vice President
is seventy-four, he looks, inevit
ably, like a caretaker candidate.
And since Truman and most oth
er Democrats now think the
party can win against Eisenhow
er, a caretaker candidate is not
a tempting candidate.
If all goes as now planned,
the President will weigh these
pros and cons until the appropri
ate time (unless he has already
made his decision). Then, when
the right time comes, either
Harriman or Barkley will bene
fit by the laying on of hands.
If Barkley is the choice, the lay
ing on of hands can easily be
enough to put him over. If Harri
man is chosen, the outcome will
be more doubtful, because of
the southerners.
In short, despite the greatness
of the President's potential in
fluence, and his present inten
tion to choose a candidate of his
own at the right time, the final
decision of this Democratic con
vention is still unpredictable.
The plain truth is that the dele
gates will perceive the same ob
jections to either of the Presi
dent's choices as the President
himself has noted. And if the
convention thinks that these ob
jections are insuperable, a kind
of basket-of-eels deadlock can
still result, and the convention
can still turn to Gov. Adlai Ste
venson of Illinois.

Oregon Grain Export
Reaches Record High
Salem (U.R) More than 46,-
000,000 bushels of export gram
shipments were inspected by
state men at Portland and As
toria in the year ended June 30,
the State .Department of Agri
culture said Friday.
The annual report was made
by C. W. Wright, chief of the
division of grain inspection, to
E. L. Peterson, director of the
Department of Agriculture.
At Portland, wheat accounted
for 36,824,569 bushels of the to
tal. Barley made up the rest with
3,589,478 bushels. More than 6,
000,000 bushels of grain, mostly
wheat, were in the export ship
ments inspected at Astoria. .
These figures hit .an all-time
annual high for export activity
by the State Grain Inspection
Service and were 14,800,000
bushels over export grain ship
ments from Fortland and As
toria in 1950-51. - ,

National policy note:
In Virginia's Democratic pri
mary U. S. Senator" Harry F.
Byrd, a bitter foe of New Deal
Fair Deal spending, won a
SMASHING victory for renom
ination to the senate.
(In Virginia, as elsewhere in
the South, the Democratic nom
ination is equivalent to election).
BYRD SAID the major issues
in the rough-and-tumble pri
mary campaign was "Truman
ism." He opposed "Trumanism"
on every point.
His oppenent, Oxford-educated
Francis Pickens Miller, SUP
PORTED "Trumanism" on every
point. He led off his primary
campaign with the statement that
on EVERY ONE of the great is
sues which have confronted him
President Truman has made the
right, decision.
As these words are written,
Byrd is leading by a vote of 210,
000 to his opponent's 124,000.
w
HAT IS "Trumanism?"
This, I'd say, is the OBJECT
IONABLE part of it:
1. Spending consistently more
than we take . in and running
deeper and deeper into debt:
2. Removing more and more
of government from the city
halls, the court houses and the
state houses and concentrating
it in Washington.
WHAT IS THE meaning of the
Virginia verdict:
I'd say that in Virginia, at
least, it means that a strong ma
jority of the people want less
spending and more of their gov
ernment kept at the home elevel.
T1HAT RAISES an interesting
policy question:
. Here at the beginning of one
of the most critical campaigns in
the Republican party's history,
what should we Ike people
pledge ourselves to do if our
side is victorious in November?
I think we should make two
flat promises:
1. We'll BALANCE THE BUD
GET.
2. We'll start bringing govern
ment back closer to the people.
rTHOSE ARE simple, funda
mental principles. They go
to the root of nearly everything
that is wrong with us.
They're easily understood.
If we get ourselves all snarled
up with promises, we'll become
confused and uncertain ourselves
and will get everybody else con
fused. Let's stick to fundamentals.
JET'S QUOTE some history.
In 1896, the Republican party
first came to grips with the un
derlying philosophy of the New
Deal-Fair Deal which is SOME
THING FOR NOTHING.
Bryan proposed free coinage
of silver at a ration of 16 to
one. Stripped of its oratorical
flimflammery, that meant de
liberate inflation of the currency.
McKinley stuck to sound money
which then meant money back
ed by gold.
In his campaign Bryan one
of the most colorful characters
in American political history and
a gifted orator to boot ran the
whole gamut of rosy something-for-nothing
pledges, but the Re
publican leadership was wise
enough to stick to and hammer
home these fundamentals:
McKinley is for SOUND
money.
Bryan is for FUNNY money.
McKinley won.

Babson Discusses Farming
Babson Park, Mass. (Special
to The Mail Tribune Al
though the present Real-Estate
Boom is ending I don't want my
readers to sell "sustenance"
farms held as insurance. When
we gaze upon our bountiful din
ner tables, it hardly seems pos
sible that our grandchildren
may have to face semi-starvation.
In spite of the fact that the
U.S. is rated the best-fed nation,
there are signs of "starvation";
that is, certain diseases even
now are due to a deterioration
in our diet.
Shortage of Crop Land
Since 1880 the population of
the U.S. has increased threefold
from about 50 million to
about 155 million in 1951.
Available crop land, on the oth
er hand, has increased less than
two and one-quarter times
from 188 million acres in 1880
to about 408 million acres in
1951. Furthermore, the net pro
duction of available crop land is
both lagging the growth in
population, and comparatively
has been leveling off since 1920.
The increase in crop land
from the late 1800's to its peak
in the early 1930's came pri
marily from the release of graz
ing land for horses and mules.
This source of increase in farm
land, however, is passing out of
existence. With the trend to
wards greater use of livestock
and dairy products, more crop
land will have to be used for
raising cattle, sheep and poultry.
This will further reduce avail
able crop land.
Outlook for Future Crop Land
Moreover, since 1930 long
range Government planning has
provided new sources of crop
land. The draining of swamp
land, together with new irriga
tion projects, to reclaim desert
wastes, has already added 38
million acres of crop land to our
economy. Looking ahead anoth
er 25 years, 45 million more
acres may be added.
Thus, in 1975 we should have
a total of 500 million acres of
crop land. At the present rate of
population growth, however,
many more millions of . acres
will be needed to feed our na
tion on present-day diet stand
ards. This means that certain
farm and pasture land may be
the safest investment in which
to have our money even if acre
age prices decline.
The Role of Research
x ortunateiy, agricultural re
search has brought forth fertil
izers, insecticides, improved
farming machinery and tech
niques, such as crop rotation.
This has enabled farm output to
continue to rise even after the
increase in available crop land
has leveled off. Continuing re
search should do much to help
reduce the anticipated deficit in
crop land; and, in addition, it
should make our available crop
land even more valuable, espe
cially in case of World War III.
. Unfortunately, many farmers
fail to realize that fertilizers and
insecticides will not provide a
solution to the problem. They
are merely supplements, the
same as vitamin tablets are only
supplements to human diet. De
spite improved fertilizers and
insecticides, and despite improv
ed agricultural techniques, thvi
fertility of our crop land is de
clining, in some sections as
much as 1 per cent a year, or
perhaps 15 per cent in 20 years.
Farmers have not been able to

sion, and soil deterioration re
sulting from the abnormally
high crop production during the
past decade. The effect of this
"mining" of crop land is a very
serious factor.
Farmers Bewarel
Here are some practical sug
gestions: (1) Urge your children to stay
in a farming community instead
of settling in some city which
will be bombed in World War
III.
(2) Temper demands upon the
soil and conserve what crop land
you already have, and at the
same time nurse the depleted
soil back to normal. Our foreign
aid program should point more
to making other nations self
supporting as to food.
(3) It is important to cut our
waste of food. The "Johnny-clean-your-plate"
attitude must
return to every household. This
is a job for the parents; and it is
just as important as the "Three
R's."
(4) Don't sell good pasture or
timber land to take a profit in
paper dollars. Such land should
further increase in value; while
paper dollars and many bonds
and stocks will become less val
uable. Sen. Cordon Says
