' j “The Supreme Statesmanj
>*»......,...____.........______
From the London Times.
When Lord Grey of Fallodon was speaking recently at the
Armstrong college, Newcastle, he allowed his “Thoughts on Public
Life” to travel back nearly 40 years and found that in 1884, before
the franchise was fully developed, the dominant questions of poli
tics were simpler than they are today. Whoever looks yet4farther
into the history of England will discover at least apparent reason
to believe that it is a record of problems which have become suc
cessively more cqmplcx; Yet to speak, in this connection, of sim
plicity and complexity is to risk misunderstanding.
It is a trueism among military historians that a campaign seen
in retrospect has sometimes so deceptive an air of simplicity that
a gift of chance may be mistaken for the reward of foresight, or a
fault in local tactics be wrongly regarded, because diraster hap
pened to follow in its train, as significant of strategical error.
The eye bent upon the map of history is an Olympian, not a
human, eye. It sees the ultimate wreck where an admiral saw only
the bow wave of a frigate leaving harbour: it measures the distance
between Moscow and Borodino with the help of a pair of dividers;
and, turning from battefield to parliament house, is able to dis
tinguish, among the detail and passion by which contemporary
vision was obscured, the prevailing motives that inspired statesman
and the inward spirit that brought political causes to triumph or
decay.
So it will be when the eye of posterity considers the present
age. It will perceive in the turmoil of contemporary Europe a
dominant issue stripped of administrative complexities. <Hir prob
lems will seem simple then. It will be understood, in the light of
events concealed from us, at what stage the development of public
opinion is now arrived, Ts the name of supreme statesman which,
as Lord Grey said., has been applied to it, to become more truly
applicable? Is the problem of our age what he conceives it to he—
the education of this great force so that upon the existing basis of
representation, it may be not only supreme, but statesmanlike? Or
are we to look, as some would have us look, to Russia,' and say that
public opinion is dead, or to Italy, and believe that public opinion
is entered upon a new phase, in which it shall no longer depend
upon the representative machinery for its expression? Is our task
to perfect an old instrument or to invent a new one?

j A Farm for Everybody.
t 2
Vernon Kellogg in The Philadelphia Ledger.
The United States department of agriculture, Avhich issues
many useful bulletins from its various scientific and economic bu
reaus, every noAV and then issues an interesting one. Such a one
is Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1,271—that number, by the Avay, suggests
how vigorously the department is giving first educational aid to the
farmers. This bulletin is devoted to pointing out and describing
the land in the United States still a Available for settlement and to
telling the prospeethre settler something about the conditions he
may expect to meet, the types of farming prevailing in the different
districts, and the agencies to Avhich he may apply for information.
There are, one learns, about 1,000.000.000 acres of these United
States not in farms. Probably the author of the bulletin does not
mean to suggest that most of our cities are to be scrapped so that
their acreage may be tilled, or that all the rest of these billion
acres are aArailable for farming. In fact, he points out that “40,
000,000 acres of this large area are absolute desert, other parts are
too rugged for cultiAation and some of it is covered with infertile
soil.”
But most of the rest of this large acreage is suitable for some£
kind of agricultural use. Of the arable land, about 270,000,000
acres are forest and cut over land, or land needing drainage or
irrigation, or other unimproved land. We have approximately
113,537,000 acres of land, most of it in the south, noAV too wet for
cultiAation, but 91,543,000 acres of this land can be reclaimed for
agriculture if Ave will spend the money to reclaim it. Also, Ave have
51,000,000 acres of irrigable land, mostly in t*he Avest, of Avhich a
considerable part is already under irrigation. More money Avill
irrigate more of it. About 600,000,000 acres are in the semi-arid
Avest and fit only for grazing purposes. “HoAvever, there is no lack
of acreage for the would be farmer who Avishes to acquire raw
land.”
Very encouraging, this, as to the supply of land. Less encour
aging, perhaps, is the outlook for “Would be farmers.” There
seeyi to be, in recent years, more Avould be frequenters of the urban
bright lights than shouters of the “back to the land” slogan. Or if
they shout, they let it go at that; they don’t really go back.
HoAvever, Avith some millions of acres of still unused farm
land, Avhat with government farm credits and Avhat with a con
gressional “farm bloc” Avith a lively eye out and a solid vote ready
for the farmers’ interests, the American who really wants to be
farmer seems to have no valid reason for dallying longer where the
bright lights burn but do not Avarm. Uncle Sam still seems to have
a farm—and a farm credit—for everybody.

vinced that the charge is a smoke
screen devised to hide what use was
made of the $24,000 and more of the
league’s funds which the New York
district attorney is trying to trace.
Anderson’s assertion that Raymond
B. Fosdick is concerned in the plot
is absurd. For the good of the pro
hibition cause, it seems, Mr. Ander
son should be handed his hat.

exposed in the strong sunlight of the

by using the electric mercury vapor

WAS THE FIRST AERIALIST
Flying Squirrel May Be Said to Have
Been Forerunner of Parachute
and Machine.
No, we nre not referring to birds,
we mcnn that shy creature, the flying
squirrel. He was the first aerialist
and was the forerunner of the para
chute and the flying machine, asserts
a writer in Our Dumb Animals. It is
probable that he taught enrly experi
menters as much about flying ns did
birds. Do you know any other four
footed animal that flies? Tills squir
rel is by nature a fly-by-night, ns he
d >es most of his flying after dark, al
though he will fly in the daytime if oc
casion arises. Woodsmen sowing
down trees have seen them • appear
from a hole in a dead limb and fly
out to safety before the tree fell. This
little animal uses his tall as a rudder
to guide him in his flight. He 1r nblo
' i fly becnuse of'membranes connect
ing feet nnd legs on either side. Some
flying squirrels are reddish colored,
while others are gray. They are said
to make good pets.

A traveling man got a letter from

“But why do you keep that stuff?”
asked a friend. ‘Td tenr it Into a

“Well, they made some good points,”
he explained. “And I've gotta write to

“And why should I give you a kiss?"

HOW TURTLES FIND THE SEA
Explanation, According to Harvard
Scientist, Is Their Tendency to
Travel Down Hill.
Why loggerhead turtles readily find
their way to the sea toon after hatch
ing. 1ir« been discovered by George FI
Parker of tlie zoological department
of Harvard university. These rep
tiles nr> hatched Inland, and soon after
birth crawl out of their nests, lie ex
plains. Then with a few exceptions
they Immediately start their journey
In the exact direction oT the sea.
The most Important reason for this
behavior of the turtle Is* their ten
dency to go down hill, Mr. Parker be
lieves. They nlso show an inclination
to move toward regions In which the
horizon Is clear nnd unobstructed by
large masses. And blue areas seem
to attract them more than other colon.
Their actions should lie regarded more
complex than a simple response to
light, for the retina of their ey^s re
spond to the details, such as blue
eol-or, rather than to the image as •
whole. ,
