Today If the Dead Could Hear. Standards Important. As the Pig Sees. Worse Than Beavers. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE If the dead could hear, Woodyow Wilson would have heard yesterday these words of the 39th Psalm, read by Bishop Freeman at his burial. “And now Lord, what is my hope; truly my hope is even in Thee.” Our acts live as long as the earth lives. But how dead we are in dividually, when the heart stops beating. “Man walketh in a vain shadow and disquieteth himself in vain.” You come to the end of a book, read the word “finis” and know all that the book has to say. It is not so with the life of an active man. His last day comes, yet for him you cannot write “finis,” not after a year, or the next; perhaps not for 1,000 years. Woodrow Wilson, who held in his hand more material power than any individual has ever held on this earth, went back into the ground yesterday. But how long the effects of his active life will be felt on this planet no man can say. One great thing is to establish the right standards, individually, and nationally. From Pekin comes news of a young Chinese woman who, with her needle, supported her mother-in-law and her daughter, 5 years old. The mother-in-law died, the daughter-in-law, impelled by Chinese traditions of duty, sold her own child for $30 to pay for the mother-in-law’s funeral. In China they call that admirable. Not so here. It’s a question of stand ards. This conservative nation might learn something from the labor party in England. They are ac tually going to use public money to provide living quarters for those that haven’t any. Here we would call it “hideous paternalism” if public funds were spent to provide homes for the public. To pack them 10 in a room, or put them out on the sidewalks, in big cities, seems to us eminently “respectable and democratic.” But, to build houses with public money? That’s worse than beavers, that help each other, building. Health officers in Montana want permission to destroy all mountain goats, because they carry more than any others, the “ticks” by which human beings are infected with the deadly spotted fever germ. The American Game Protective association denounces the sugges tion, saying all sorts of rodents, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, also carry the spotted fever tick. It may not be fair to pick on the mountain goat, an interesting animal and most pleasant to shoot— if you can’t tte hc.ipy unless you are killing something. Nevertheless, it will be well for the human race—when the time comes, as it will—and all of our inferior animal brothers and sisters shall have disappeared from earth; also all the inferior tribes of human beings. Providence and nature will know how to get rid of them gradually, but surely, and will do so. Ramsay Macdonald releases Ghandi, at the same time announc ing that he won’t stand any revolu tionary nonsense. Ghandi’s followers have learned that they were too enthusiastic about their leader. They circulated posters showing that he could lift Mt. Everett in his hand. Now they know that he couldn’t even lift the roof or push open the door of a British prison. Facts count. The brairt alone counts and the spirit that lives in it. Doctors will plant the entire eye of a pig in the empty socket of Allfred Lemano , wits. The nerve that carries to the brain pictures of the outside world is alive in the blind man’s head, and doctors hope that he will be able to see with the pig’s eye. If so, he will see as men see the beauty of sun and flowers, beauty in kind faces—many things that no pig ever . saw. There are human beings here and in Europe that have two per fectly good eyes and yet see just about what the average pig sees. "Two men looked out from be hind their bars, One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.” The latest revolution in Mexico appears to be dying. Mexicans are energetie, but shipping United States arms to the established Mex ican government, and permitting Mexican soldiers to march through United States territory, appears to have discouraged the most recent revolution. This country doesn't wish to in terfere with anybody’s revolution but would like for Mexico’s sake and ours, to see the Mexicans happy, going ahead without inter ruption. In a race against American cars at Stockholm, last Monday, a Swedish motor car driven by Swed ish motor alcohol, beat all the American cars. The latter used gasoline imported from the United States. That’s good news. Unlike oil wells, the supply of alcohol never can give out. We could get enough alcohol out of the corn stalks in the United States, and other vegetable matter, to run all the machinery of the United States. There is power inexhaustible. And the in side of an explosive engine is the right place for alcohol, not in the inside of a man. (Copyright. 1924 > NEBR1N' STOPS I >lds Pains ' cadaches _ Farm Relief Is Expected in Few Days •* N. B. Updike, Back From Washington, Says Sincere Effort Being Made to Help Northwest. "A sincere effort to help the farm ers of the northwest is being made In Washington." This statement was made yesterday hy Nelson B. Updike, who returned Thursday morning from a week's visit to the capital city. "It is the common belief of those who have been in touch with Presi dent Coolidge and Secretary Wallace,” continued Mr. Updike, "that plans now under consideration will be really effective in relieving the condition of the farmers. “First, the statement of President Coolidge that he is keeping in close touch with the tariff commission in dicates early action toward an in creased tariff against Canadian wheat. “The president stated that he hoped the inquiry by the tariff commission would allow him to advance the wheat tariff by at least 15 cents a bushel. "Those who have been in close touch with the situation look for the tariff advance somewhere between the 18th and 20th of February. The president is hopeful that this will at least help to, advance the price of wheat. “Also there is a general feeling on the part of both the president and congress that something will be done to advance the prices of all farm products to a parity with the cost of living. The president has been asked to appoint a general committee com posed of western men to advise with him concerning the legislation need ed to accomplish this. The appoint ment of this committee will be made soon." The McNary bill, which would set lip an export corporation, seems to be In favor If It can be changed so as not to Interfere with the normal activities of the owners of grain ele vators, including those elevators pri vately owned, those owned by line companies, by farmers' companies and the elevators in terminal markets. There seems to be a willingness to so modify the measure and early pas sage of such a bill is looked for. "Further, the proposed 112,000.000 corporation to aid the banks in the northwest will help. The corporation will probably buy considerable of the notes, and maybe some second mort gages held by the northwestern banks, which it will turn over to the War Finance corporation or some other federal agency. “The capitalization of this corpora tion tolll enable It to handle about 260.000.000 of these frozen credits, and thus suppy the banks in the northwest with liquid capital."

Washington, Feb. 7.—A hope that "every encouragement" will be given the co-operative marketing movement was expressed today by President Coolidge in a message to the national council of farmers' co-operative mar keting associations at the opening session of a three-day meeting here. The president added that there also was a need for organizations of urban consumers "to give like benefits" and declared a close working arrangement between these two groups is the Ideal toward which present economic ef forts should be directed. The message from Mr. Coolidge was read as a part of a program which Included addresses by Senator Capper of Kansas, head of the senate farm bloc, and former Governor Frank L«owden. of Illinois. Robert W. Bing ham of Louisville presided and opened the conference. The president’s let ter was addressed to Walton Petcet, secretary of the council. One of Needs "I have many times declared my conviction that the development of a powerful co-operative movement In this country Is one of the needs of this period of economic readjust ment. Much has been accomplished along this line In many American communities but it cannot be said that the co-operative idea has found a very firm lodgement In the actual practice of the great majority of the American people. "Yet the examples of its advantage which have been set before us In this and other countries are so numerous and impressive that one cknnot but wish that every encouragement may be extended to such organizations as your own, which are seeking to es tablish a national co-operative pur pose and spirit. Great Opportunity "Especially In regard to agricul tural statements, when we consider how high a price the consumer pays in proportion to the price the pro ducer receives, we cannot but feel that here Is a great opportunity for service to both the consuming and producing groups of the public. "W> are all included In one or the other of these groups, and most of us in both of them. In the long run w* will all be bettered of we can lesser, the burdensome costs of conveying our necessaries from the producer to the consumer. "There Is need for co-operative or ganizations among agricultural pro ducers to help them both in selling their products for a better price and buying their requirements more cheaply. There is likewise need for organization of the urban commerce, to give like benefits. The establish ment of a close working relationship between these two groups ought to be the ideal to which the larger co operative movement of the country should aim."

Just because McAdoo was mentioned In the same breath and by the same witness, there was a confusion on this point most detrimental to McAdoo. It is now perfectly understood, so far us the record shows, McAdoo did only what any lawyer might do. There still remains the question of the propriety of McAdoo's taking a fee to represent in Washington his client's relation to the Mexican gov ernment at a time when his father in-law was in the W’hite House and his former cabinet associates were in power. This is the point McAdoo's friends hope he will be able to clear up. Political Strength Question. But, even If he should clear up all this personal and professional as peot of the case, there will still re main the question of his political availability. As one democrat, a friend of McAdoo, put It: "Can we take Doheny's lawyer as our candi date and then go into the campaign next summer and make an issue of the republican administration's rela tion with Doheny?" To this question, any accurate record of the judgment of political Washington today would say the an swer Is "no.” Those who have seen McAdoo since he came to Washington report him as showing little concern about his capacity to re-establish hirnself by the bearing he has demanded. He was naturally in the somber mood of the funeral of his father-ln 'aw and former chief, but, aside from tnat, he bad all the buoyancy and gallant dash and frankness that his friends now rely on. , As to the possibility or probability of the McAdoo forces finding a new leader, there is literally no one in sight, although for four days the Mc Adoo and other progressive demo cratic leaders have given much thought and discussion to it.

"If he were not a Catholic," but If you are to deal in the realities of present American politics, you must record the fact that religious prejudice plays a part. It Is a thousand pities. Walsh 1* a very great senator, and hia quali fications for the presidency are not limited to his admirable management of the sensational investigation which will probably provide the Issue in the coming election. Walsh's present elevation is no ac cident. At all times, during his 12 years of service, he has been one of the 10 leading senators. With the experience he has acquired, he has recently easily been among the first five. If some able group of party leaders had the courage to face the religious prejudice squarely and take Walsh as a possibility in hand, he might readily win. Aside from Walsh, when the Me Adoo forces are discussing a new leader, they occasionally turn to men who have high ability, but are under the handicap of not being widely known such as Senator Robinson of Arkansas and Senator Glass of Vir ginia.

Feb. 7.—"If Lloyd Georg* will produce a secret agreement be tween Wilson and me, I will pay the reparations," said Former Premier Clemenceau today after reading the text of the statements ascribed to to David Lloyd George concerning secret pact l>etween Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson in regard to the oc cupation of the Rhineland.
