Addressing himself to the farmers of the United States, Senator Harding, speaking at the Minnesota state fair, has lucidly set forth what the republican party plans, to do for -the ad vancement of the interests of our greatest basic industry, the production of food. It is a definite, practical program, one capable of achievement, and which will be of service from its inception,, without waiting an indefinite time for the de velopment of sprne hazily visjoned Utopian con dition which may be brought to pass through ': the application of the magic words that will be i pronounced by the-' supreme council of a super s' nation. '' - :?.-;'.;.'"'!.'''.'.'. J 'Categorically, the republican party proposes that the farmer is to bave a voice m the govern ment; that co-operative-marketing is to be fos f tered and brought to a point of real .service to '! all; that an effort will be made to effect a sta 'j bilization of prices, at home and abroad, so that V farm products will no longer be subjected to 'i sudden, violent, and at times inexplicable fluctua tions , in selling values; that the unnecessary ;j price-fixing and arbitrary depression of farm , prices be done away with; that the farm loan act be extended to make it serviceable to the .. man who is trying to buy a farm as well as to the man who owns one; that the elimination of i the speculative element from transportation be ; continued because of its great benefit to ship pers, particularly the farmers; and finally, in the v revision ,of the tariff along lines that will protect t agriculture as well as' other industries.' ' f Nothing visionary can be noted in this pro gram, It is clear, gncfeasily understood by any. Moreover, each proposal is capable of ac ) complishmcnt, and will bring direct and im i mediate benefit to the farmer and through him i to .all. Under the application of the plan much , ' of the uncertainty and confusion that atterids . J the operation of food production and marketing J will be done away with, and the business of i feeding the world can'be carried on with far 'f greater efficiency and without in any way in- creasing the cost of living. 1 ... One other feature of SenaW Harding's ad dress deserves attention. He emphatically dis- clain" ,ny ppelj'to'",the farmers as a lass aparti,h says -:v; I verv much denlore the present day ten dency to appeal to the- particular group tin American activities. . . If America is to - go on and come to the heights of achieve ment, must of necessity be "all for one and one for all." , . His plan is not for a group, not for a class,, but for the good of all., No appeal to (He selfish ness of any, but to stir the patriotism of every- body, that is the aim and purpose of the repub lican campaign, Its program is comprehensive and reasonable, its promises dehnite, ana us sdii-i ity to redeem its pledges undoubted. That is 1 why ,the voters are turning to Harding and Coplidge for relief from undesirable conditions. ' A Soldier Importer. Our boys' brought home many clever ideas i from their war sojourn in Europe. An American ' ' always has his eyes open for profit at home of ' abroad.' One of them in the army of occupation in Germany has been doing quite well on grease ( paint from Germany making 100 per cent hand le ily on all he can handle. The actors and actresses. 'V are crajay for it, because we have not yet made it so well as they do over the water. This particular young soldier has also been Importing German razors. They cost him $1,25 ) landed in "this country, and he. sells them in il. Quantity at $2.50 each. In tnany places they i retail at from $5 to $8. The barbers mourned for German razors when the war was on ana would not be comforted. But almost without exception they declare the German product the only one reliable for shaving purposes. - We do not know why. America ought to produce as good a quality of steel as any coun- try oniearth. We incline to the belief that it I does, but the barbers we have come in contact with ridicule American razors.s Since 1916, when the shortage 'of German razors became acute fc in this country, we have bought about three j 4iors a year, and none have been satisfactory, It'i the same way, with penknives. The English t and German products seem to give better satis, f faction than our own. This should nt be true, ,1 JSnatchinf Maids. I Maid snatching is not peculiar to England, . where they ihave dubbed the covetous woman j who lures heV friend's rnavd to his own employ, l "the domestic servant thief.". There are many women jn this country who are not above bribing servants in homes they visit to change to their own establishments,, Of course such women have no sense of per-, soial honor or friendship for others. They are simply piratical in their instincts, and of the t same low grade of morality as those who steal silverware, linen and other utilities from fine hotels, and when caught in ther dishonesty refer to the articles taken as "souvenirs," Pick pockets wear diamonds and flash morvey in ex actly the same class of souvenjrs." ."iV;; . V Nothing can be moref disconcerting than the diacovery thara woman In good society, re. ceived into the' home of. respectable people, is in fact a thief. But the missing articles of great value taKen irura muy iumuuj " bif parties make the conclusion inevitable that worocn may possess social graces, refinement rad "education, and vet commit penitentiary of fenses. Indeed, it is habit in many palatial resi dences before entertaining large parties, to col lect and lock up for safe keeping, all the smaller articles of value scattered oven the house. It must be an unhappy reflection for ladies who are compelled to do such things to think of the sort of people they associate with. Steal ing servants is so readily detected that a woman must be all but abandoned who will do it. Cer tainly her guilt must lose her the respect of all she robs if not from society in general. "Self-Determination" in the Campaign. A thoughtless listener to James M. Cox i St. Pant interrupted the candidate long enough to inquire his attitude as to Ireland, and Mr. Cox promptly replied "Self-determination." Thus does another of the abstractions of Woodrow Wilson bob up to save the candidate from possible embarrassrjvint. "Self-detemina-tion" may mean much or littte, but in the present instance it fulfills the 'little girl's definition of a lie: "An abomination before the Lord, and an ever present help in time of trouble." It lets Br'er Cox out of a narrow hole, may satisfy his followers, will give some a chance to spout as to his wonderful devotion to the Irish cause, and finally engages him to no definite or specific at titude, promise or policy. We wonder right now why the sponsors of the Cox candidacy did not make a little allow ance for his views, that he might have something of self-determination on his own account. But it was left to the president to make up the Cox mind as to the League of Nations; Bosses Nu gent and Murphy helped him reach conclusions as to the Volstead act; he has in a. general way announced other conclusions, all (reached by someone else, yet in none has he distinctly de clared what he is going 'to do'. His evasiveness goes beyond mere astuteness, ) or even crafty cleverness it amounts almost to a gift. Governor Cox will find out, however, that the voters of the great northwest are not going to be caughtiby. smooth' promises,' or softly worded phrases that meananything to anybody. What the people want is A clear, straight declara tion of principles, a firm stand on defined issues, and that is not what the democratic candidate 'fqr president is giving. He is calling his op ponent's ugly names, himself weaving through a mazy of half-truths, vague statements, and sub stituting noise for force in his arguments. Self determinations might have led him into a dif ferent attitude, but the "Big Four" adjusted all this for him. ' " - , Over There Without a Harp. . . "If I am wrong in thinking the soul immor-. tal," wrote the Pagan philosopher Cicero, "am glad to be wrong; nor will I allow the mistake which" gives me so much pleasure to be wrested from me as long as I live." Rev. Dr. Joseph Cook, who delivered a series of Monday lectures some forty years ago in Boston, that attracted wide attention, later lec tured at many other cities.' Of all his lectures, the one called for everywhere was entitled "Does Death End All?" . Interest in that subject is universal. ' . When our friends die we all lovTto think o the separation as only temporary. The efforts of scoffers at religion to suppress the nope and stop the preparation jfor another and better ex-, istence beyond the clouds cannot be. made suc cessful by such smart sayings as "one world at a time," We all have quite enough time after the aily performance of our duties on earth, to give attention to the hope for a happy future, "where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary is at rest" and time so spent never made any man or woman less efficient for this world. . i ' But within fifty years a great change has come over the f popular ideal of immortal life. It is no longer that of a lazy, blissful, idle rest, but rather of a busy, wholly joyful and useful progression to constantly increasing, powers, knowledge and achievement. Whf n we think of the dead as being "at rest," we mean only at rest from the injustices. and limitations of the present mortal life. ? ; . - V Training for a Politican. In one of Lord Chesterfield's letters to his son, knowledge of whose aspiration to become a politician had' reached him, lie specified some of the minor qualifications, among them , An absolute command of your tamper, so' as not to be pfovokfd to passion, upon any account: dexterity enough to conceal a truth, without telling a lie: sagacity enough to read other people's countenances: and serenity enough not to let them discover anything by yours; a seeming frankness, with a real re serve. The major, qualifications were to become a master of ancient and modern history and languages, to know perfectly the constitution and form of government of every nation, and to know the strength, riches and commerce of every country. ' . That would be quite an order for American politicians and we may add, for our statesmen. The great majority of them do not know their own country any too well. The Spirit of Young America. A 14-year-old boy, husky and tall" for his age, enlisted in the United States regulars seVen years ago at Elizabeth, N. J. Since then he his. seen service at Vera Cruz, Brownsville, at the Galveston flood, in the battles of Chateau Thierry, Vesle sector, St. Mihiel and the Ar gonne offensive. He carried, the American colors into Coblenz, participated in the Victory parade in Paris on July 14, 1919; and carried the colors in the London parade five days later. Now he is waiting to cast his first vote in November. ' - Isn't that Young America for yon? M ; A Zanzibar News lUrrw , Strange things come from the' ports of the world.

How easy It is to be a colyum conductor is shown up In embarrassing fashion by h. N. Flint of the department of Journal-, ism, University of Kansas, in ,J'The Para- grapher's Sprightly Art." Mr. Flint takes the profession under analytical ) scrutiny, and, after classifying all known paragraphs into separate specials, pitilessly exposes all the tricks of the trade to public view. It almost seems as if anybody ought to be a paragrapher after reading Mr. Flint's book indeed, the author opens the subject with tho observation that r"Everybody Is a par .agrapher that is to ' say, everybody likes -to make concise and pointed comments on the news of the day."

Set down in simple language, it is as dramatic as any of Joseph Conrad's inventions. Of course, if Mr. Cbnrad, had in vented it, the drama would have been utilized merely for the purpose of throwing a psycho logical light on the character of the commander of the sub, or the third assistant engineer of the S. S. Alanthus. . Add Mysteries of Journalism (From the P. M. pa per.) The TJ. S. Transport General Goethals, plow ing her course off the Delaware capes, heard the bell of the telephone buoy and sighted a buoy where the mar iner's charts showed there should be no buoy. A boat put out, and when the buoy was reached the buszer de vice could be heard. The Goethals flashed the news by wireless and f then started the work of rescue alone. The a. S. Alanthus was the first on the scene to help her. M-, pa- (From the A When vthe Goethate, arrived the commander of the .Alanthus , In formed him that he had arrived three hours earlier .... His at tention was attracted to the submarine by a pole sticking out of a small hole near the stern, through which the Mien had rigged a wire with a shirt lashed to it. "We did not see any buoy," Capt. Swensen added; "neither was there a buzzer anywhere haajiy to rnmmiinlcflto with th? imprisoned, crew." NOW, there are two storresj, in such eittire disagreement that, familiar as we are with the mysteries of journalism, shiver our timbers if we can gjess out this one. Perhaps Mr. Flint can explain li. - s. .- HE MAT HA VB HEARD IT IN VAUDEVILLE Sir: Two fairly intelligent looking young men on a atreet car were discussing th& likelihood of all monarchies throwing their kUigslnto the discard and becoming democracies, one of the young men announcing that even now England calls her , king Lloyd George instead of King George.

Kansas Citv itn ' ! ' 2 ' KIDS NEED. LOTS OF SLEEP. A question that is not infrequently asked is how long should a child sleep. Dr. R. M. Smith is brave enough to outline a scheme for the division of the time of boys between t and 12 years of age. This scheme answers these questions definitely, though not every one will ngree with the answers. He says a boy 6 years of age should sleep 12 hours a day; at 8, 11 1-2 hours and at 12, 10 1-2 hours. During the school year school chil dren must be awake by 7 in order to dress, at breakfast, attend to a few duties around the house and . o to school. This schedule means that a 6-year-old boy must begin to get ready for bed not later than 6:30 in the evening, an 8-year old boy. not rs old not later than 7:30 and one 12 years old. not later than 8. This schedule allows half an hour to u nd resstf quiet down, and get'to sleep. Even if tho boy can sleep a half-hour later in the mornin'aiul still carry out the morning's sched ule and get to school in time he must commence getting readyfor bed at 7 if he is 6 years old and at 8:30 if he is 12. x This means no picture shows arid no play on the street after the evev nlng meal. There are those who think We need a crusade to get chil dren, in bed early in the evening more than we need nutritional clin ics. ' . " V . '-;' i Dr. . Smith's study schedule calls for J 4 hours a week in the iaafe of boys of 6, 17 for boys of 8, 21 for bbys of 10 and 22 1-2 for boys of 12. Since ' study out of school has no place -on his program this schedule means two hours and forty-eight minutes a school day of actual study for a 6-year-old boy, three hours and twenty-four minutes "for a boy of. 8, four .hours an twelve minuts for a boy of 10 and tour hours and a half for a boy pf 12. y, In order to get the length of the school day for school administration period the time given to recess pe riods is added, v ' In some schools all of the hour and a half shorter study period of the boys of 6 as compared with boys of 12 is consumed by--longer-recess periods. .

To the Editor of The Bee: There are several old sayli'gs applicable to the candidates ror presidency in tnis campaign: "Give the calf plenty of ropo and he will hang himself."-fotice how ousy tox is wnn tne rope. "The man that does too much talking usually convicts himself."- Cox is sure going some. "Watch the man who cries thief first." Cox is sure busy accusing everybody but himself. i . A million dollars used to be a lot of money, but not much nowadays, and perhaps $7,000,000, or even S15,00,000 wouldn't be a bad in vestment after all to shut off the squandering tof billions and electing a real man en the Job. The Talker, the Boa.ster the Ac cuser and Promlser never Hoes much more than to create a. hell-lot of trouble and the good Lord knows we have our bellies full of that dope. America is slowly returning to san ity again after about eight years of democratic misrule, extravagance, bolshevism, I.W.W.s, radicalism and high platitude Wilsonism. Looks as though we simply have .to or go aroke and acknowledge to the whole world tnat tne runaamentai princi ples of our republican form of gov ernment have been found wantirfg a failure after nearly 150 years of trial. It is surely pleasing- to note the difference of character of , the two men asthe campaign progresses, one sane and conservative, the other wild, unreliable, and radical. The time to know -Cox well is a trifle short but .he is showing us fast enough. 1 OLD DOC YAK. ii' children , are dismissed earlier. The younger boy should have more -frequent recess periods than the older ones. His attention cannot be held for long-and if he does 'not get a recess he takes it by looking out of the window. , ' Dr. Smith does not advocate study at home even for 12-year-old boys. All ; authorities agree that younger children should not study at home. I do not know that I agree that 12-year-old boys should not Study at home. He divides the remaining houiA hours per week given to excise in five school, days: For a 6-year-old boy at school, seven at school and 7-1-2 at home, w For a 12-year-old boy, 12, at school and. 12 at home.
