If ye shall diapise ray statutes, or

shall flee when none pursueth you.
I will punish you seven times more

"Big Business" was the chief vic

large businesses lost money', a con

find more sinkholes for income tax

The arctic regions used to have a
warm climate. Fossils proving this
were brought back by Explorer Mac
Millan. When the experts on weath
er claim the climate doesn't change",
they really mean that it changes so
extremely slowly that it takes thou
sands of years to observe any differ
ence. The change seems to be tak
ing place faster of late years. Many
part3 of central and northern Can
ada report that "queer winters"
have nearly exterminated field mice
and squirrels. . .
SILENCE THE BEMEDY
John W. Davis described the sit
uation when he said at Baltimore
"No one can deny that the chief
characteristic of the present admin
istration is silence.
"If scandals break out in the gov
crnment, the way to treat them is si
lence.
"If petted Industries make exor
bitant profits under an extortionate
tariff, the answer, of course, is 6i
lence. "If the league of nations or for
eign powers invite us into confer
ence on questions of world-wide im
portance, again the answer is si
lence.
"If race and religious prejudice
threaten our domestic harmony,
again the answer is silence.
"If a wandering secretary of the
navy plans a speaking trip in the
west, as soon as the fact is discov
ered he is brought back to Washing
ton and reduced to silence.
"Occasionally there are those who
have been in the cabinet and are no
longer there, and therefore are not
subject to discipline, who break out
by writing a letter. I had one the
other day myself.
"But in the main, silence, vast,
mysterious, portentous, broods in
solemn majesty over the entire ar
gument of my friends on the other
side."

LITERACY TEST FOR VOTERS
The New York state election laws
have laid down that all new Voters
must pass a literacy test. Now, some
learned persons there are endeavor
ing to determine just wnat a poor,
benighted alien must know before
he can be declared literate. Alfred
E. Rejail, supervisor of immigrant
education of the state department of
education, has produced a formid
able list of words. 4.000 in all.
which he would like to see the sine
qua non of admission to the full
rights of citizenship in the Empire
State. A few will suffice to illus
trate the problem that faces the ali
en. If Mr. Rejail has his way,
among other things, the aspirant
will be asked what is
A democrat?
A republican?
A boss?
An amendment?
Probihit (but not prohibition)?
Liberty?
A tax?
Loyal?
Independent?
A Job?
A holder?
Constitution?
If the alien can answer these ques
tions he will be doing better than
the persons who ask them.
o:o
LOW EARNINGS
It is a dark picture the depart
ment of agriculture draws cf agri
cultural conditions covering the past
few years in a report which it has
recently made public. The studies
of the department "bear out the pop
ular impression that American agri
culture since the slump of 1920 has
not yielded a commercial interest
rate on Invested capital or a fair
wage for the average farm operator
and his family."
Such a condition would not long
exist in any other industry. Capital
would be diverted to other employ
ments and the heads of small busi
nesses who found their annual In
comes less than they could earn by
hiring out would abandon them. Ad
justments of that kind are constant
ly being made in non-agricultural
pursuits.
The trend of agricultural popula
tion to the cities that is reported to
every period of farm depression and
the abandoned farm problem are
signs that similar adjustments are
being made in agriculture also. But
their extent in this field is much
more limited. It is much simpler for
a man to close up his own small shop
and hire himself out to another em
ployer in the same town and in the
same or a similar occupation than
for a farmer to sell out and move to
town. For the latter such a change
involves not only an occupational
change with the risks of unemploy
ment but the moving of his family to
town at considerable expense and
without definite assurance that the
family fortunes will be repaired as
a result of the change.
The saving grace of life on the
farm in America, or almost any place
in the world, is the fact that there
is a living to be made there. The
Interest on the farmer's capital In
vestment may be all, his money in
come inconsequential but almost any
farmer who makes a reasonable ef
fort enjoys his three simple meals a
day and has no fear of being ejected
by a landlord because he cannot pay
his rent.'
Compensation-of this kind may be
wholly inadequate. Anyone familiar
with the conditions which have char
acterized American agriculture dur
ing the past few years will wish the
American farmer a better lot than
has lately been his. But these com
pensations, nevertheless, along, no
doubt with the risk involved in mov
ing to the city, do keep many fami
lies on the farm and thus aggravate
the farmer those of over-produc
tion and unremunerative prices.

The three major candidates for
