Wood of In diana, by virtue of his chairmanship of the Republican National Congres sional Committee, is chief spokesman of his party. Like Alice's famous walrus, therefore, he often finds that the time has come to talk of many things. And so he talks much of ships, and rather less of shoes and sealing wax. Also he finds occasion to give the country the benefit of his views on the tariff, the budget, farm relief, Philippine independence, Nic araguan intervention and other burn ing questions of the day. In such a position, Mr. Wood ob viously ought to know everything, whether it's so or not. Usually he discharges his role with eclat, but the other day. while conducting a committee hearing in Washington on the affairs of the Radio Commission, he was guilty of a break which may possibly have far-reaching political consequences. The matter of de veloping short-wave transmission was under discussion. Mr. Wood was skeptical. He feared it would not facilitate the progress of air trans port. Airwaves will be needed to reach them! For the average every-day Amer ican sucn ignorance might be excus ed. But not from a mouthpiece of the Grand Old Party, when there are 15,000,000 radio fans in the coun try, and most of them voters, or soon will be. Can the party brave their resentment? The administration should summon its best minds to Washington at once to devise ways for convincing the hosts of radio en thusiasts that despite Mr. Wood's lack of elementary knowledge of their favorite sport, the G. O. P. is still the party fit to govern. :o: LONG AND USEFUL LIFE Thomas A. Edison, who passed his eighty-first milestone a few days ago says he is really 162 years old, be cause he has done two days work every day of his 81 years. Comment ing on Mr. Edison's statement. Ar thur Brisbane has this, to say: "Mr. Edison did 10,000 years' work when he changed man's lighting sys tem from kerosene to electricity. His habit of working two days in one, accounts for the fact that mentally he is 40, not 81. An active mind stays young, in man or woman. Wo men grow old prematurely because badly organized civilization gives them nothing to do except talk and dress, when their children are grown up." It might be said with equal truth tha Mr. Edison did several thousand years' work when he gave to the peo ple the phonograph, and other thou sand of years' labor when he com pleted some of his other inventions. Always a busy man the great in ventor has not permitted the year to cloud his geniuB or slow down his interest in life. Mr. Edison, riding to his eighty- second anniversary, Btill remains one of America's greatest men and one of the world's brightest lights. i i v J 1 for best results U i your Same Price for over 35 years 25 ounces lor 2,5f? Use less than of higher priced brands Guaranteed Pure LOOKING FOR A LEADER Senator Burton K. Wheeler, the energetic young man from Montana who drove Harry Daughterty out of the cabinet, is discouraged about the American people. The nation, he believes, is selfish and inert. If Lincoln himself were to appear today, the Senator declares, he could do nothing because the peo ple would be too indifferent to follow him. It is hard to blame the Senator from being pessimistic. He courageously made war on corruption in high places, and was rewarded by being indicted on trumped-up charges; nor was there any great outcry of popu lar indignation over the treatment he received. Yet it is possible to disagree with him. It is true that we seem far more interested in baseball, criminal trials, airplane flights, and new flivvers than in our governmental leaders and their problems. But this may be our fault as much as the fault of our leaders. As a matter of fact, there is no country on earth where the average man looks so longingly for a capable leader as in America. Our trouble is that too often, of recent years, we have learned that our idols had feet of clay. We have grown somewhat suspicious; we have become clever at detecting shams. But let a really great man arise, or even a half-great man, and we are ready to go where ever he asks. This explains, undoubtedly, our tendency to idolize our industrial captains. We look up to men like Ford, Sloan, Farrell, and Du Pont be cause we recognize that here, for all their shortcomings, are men who are in their own way genuinely big. They may move in narrow fields, but in those fields them loom large. We are hungry for leaders, and since our politicians so often have failed us. we are turning to the business men. The American does not readily lose his capacity for giving himself to great leaders. There is grounded in every heart an inarticulate idealism. shy but ardent, eager to take com mand if only there will arise a cap tain capable of making the right ap pear. On every battlefield from Lex ingston to Chateau Thierry there are American bodies to testify this. Sir Bertram Hayes commanded the big liner Olympic during the World War, aid helped transport many English and American troops to France. In his recently published book of reminiscences he comments on the contrast between the troops of the two nations. The English sol diers, he said, were carefree and jov After Winter's Colds It Is Wise to Check Up on the Kidneys. WATCH your kidneys after cold and grip!

Whatever the historians may have discovered regarding the causes of the war; whatever may have happen ed since then in the rooms where treaties have been signed; the fact remains that we entered the war be cause the common American was con vinced that by so doing he was serv ing a loftier cause than he could know otherwise. We were asked to give ourselves for an ideal, and we responded. Is that spirit dead, then? Have we lost our capacity for rising to high ideals? We have not. We are still looking for leaders. We have had a dearth of them of late. But we are read for them. Let a man arise again a man of genuine greatness, with a call to real service on his lips and there will be a response to shake the world. America is waiting, now as always. Let every politician remember it. :o: Blank booKs at the Journal office.
