THE REPUBLICAN HOMER NODS
Next to the President himself, Re
presentative Will R. 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.

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.

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

It Is Wise to Check Up
on the Kidneys.
WATCH your kidneys after cold
and grip! When the kidneys
slow up. impurities remain in the
blood and are apt to make one tired and
achy with headaches, dizziness and
often nagging backache. A common
warning is scanty or burning secretions.

ial en route to France; the Amer
icans were sober, serious, "like cru
saders." That was it. "Like crusaders."
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.
