AMERICA'S ELDER STATESMAN.
Linking the present with the past, Joseph
0. Cannon has a inost useful place in the
congress of the United States. Forty-four years
in national affairs is a record not often equalled,
and few men, in or out of public life, maintain
the hearty interest and hale constitution of this
veteran elder statesman. Back in 1872, Uncfe
Joe was sent to congress from Illinois "with the
same vote that elevated Gen. U. S. Grant to his
second term as president. In the twenty years
that followed before Uncle Joe was temporarily
retired, he saw the rise of the Granger party, an
insurgent movement of 1,500,000 farmers back
ing measures to curfi the railroads and trutts, to
prevent discrimination in rates and prices, and
in all ways to further the interests of the farm
ing class. He witnessed also the exposure of the
whisky ring; the currency act somtimes known
as the "crime of 73" f Grant's veto of a bill to
inflate, the, currency; the Sioux wars; tfre disas
trous financial panic of 1873; the Tilden contro
versy; railroad strikes and riots throughout the
country; resumption of specie payments; a third
term movement for Grant which was defeated
by Garfield; a bill suspending Chinese immigra
tion for 20 years; the beginning of civiL service
reform and the rise and fall of numerous radical
and independent parties. '
In all American history since those days this
man has had his part, and with what strange
feelings must he regard the eternal recurrence of
the same situations. In spite of the seeming
fewness of many national problems, most of
them pust have come to jhe attention of Uncle
Joe and the people of those other days, who may
have thought that they bad solved them, un
thinking' that they" would rise again. From the
procession of time this old man emerges, admit
ting that he is a standpatter, which some one
hat denned as one who believes there is a future,
but does not believe in trying to ha.ul it into
the present by the neck. !
There is room for such, a man as this in the
natidnal councils. May Uncle Joe Cannon live
to realize his hope of more than half a century
in congress. i

'' The Voice of the Fanner.
Iowa newspapers are claiming that Henry C.
Wallace, editor of a farm journal at Des Moines,
has been selected by Mr. Harding as the 'new
secretary of agriculture. The certitude with
which this is asserted is not backed by any pub
lic announcement from Mr. Harding, and poor,
indeed, is the western state that has not a con
tender for this office, Nebraska entering the lists
with C. H. Gustafson, president of the Farmers'
Union. - -. .
Whomsoever may finally be chosen for the
cabinet position, it will be a man of similar type.
One has only to .review the qualifications of
another leading contender for this place to
realize the sort of man' who will sit in the
chair made famous by "Tama Jim" Wilson.
This other one is W. F. Therkildson, also a prac
tical farmer, operating two farms in New Jersey,
and specializing in seed production. In" a recent
x number of the Christian Herald is to be found an
article in which Mr. Therkildson discusses the
need for new methods of market jng as the first
farm problem. Here is what he says:
My opinion is that the present methods of
marketing are antiquated and in no way
equal to the task of properly supplying the
great mass of the - consuming public. Re-,
gardless of the efforts and desire of every
one to see better conditions both of production-
and marketing, present methods have
certainly proved inefficient. Otherwise, why
do we face lowest prices that the farmer has,
received in a long time, and on the other hand
face a consumer s price that is equal to the
highest of the war-time figures?
The interests of farmers everywhere are iden
tical, and the fact that Mr. Therkildson is from
the east in no way prevents him from speaking
'what is in the minds of farmers everywhere.
Mr. Therkildson sees, too,-that the issue is not
',up'to one c'a?s lone, but to the whole of in
dustry, as is shown in these words:
What are yon going to do. Mr. Business
Man? Are you going to sit idly by and see
this producer of the fundamentals of exist-
ence take the only course open to himthat
of producing less food for a population which
: is constantly increasing? Or are you 'going'
to recognize him as a fellow business man
. . ;, . and make it reasonably easy for him to secure
w wv..; .UU HMlblicua Willi W U 11,11 lJ KjyZl-
, These principles in other days might have been
, considered heretical and radical, but today are
"-recognized as part of a larger wisdom in which
vies hope of national progress and well-being.
:i Fiume Goes to Italy. , '
The curtain has been rung down on the farce
of Firnne. It was raised on the first act when
Woodrow Wilson, as dictator at Paris, decided
the port should go to Jugo-Slavia as its "window
on the Adriatic." The first act witnessed the
indignation of the Italian populace, which only a
short time before had changed the names of
streets to honor the American president, had
. stood in drenching rain to hear him utter, words
the meaning of which they could not compre
hend,' and whose disappointment equalled the
exuberance of its welcome. D'AnnunzIo is "dis
covered" as the second get opened, carrying on
'an opera bouffe government in "defiance" of
' Rome; operations which followed remind one
strongly of some of those "wars" of the Middle
Ages, wherein mercenaries marched and counter
marched Suit never struck a blow, True, some
blood has been shed, but not much. The Italian
troops were instructed not to fire unless they had
to, and Fiume fell, with scarcely a shot fired, and
if Jugo-Slavia looks out on the Adriatic it will
be through 4 window over which Italy may draw,
the curtains at any time. "Italia Irridenta" has
been redeemed, the councils of the great at Paris'
have been set aside by other councils held since,
and we have another illustration , of what we
escaped by not being involved in' the politics of
Europe through the League of Nations. A few
more of these examples and the "senatorial oli-.
garchy" will be provided with a magnificent
monument.

A Plea for Coasting.
Who cannot remember his joy as a child
when Santa Claus brought him a bright new
sled? It does not always happen that nature
provides a bountiful snowfall as it has qp, this
holiday season, and great must have beth the
glee of the boys and girls who found a coaster
among their presents this Christmas. Into this
atmosphere of pleasure the cruel death of 8-year-old
George Jensen, crushed on his sled beneath
the wheels of a speeding automobile, has brought
the cloud of tragedy. .
A motorist, not pausing for safety at a streel
intersection, but driving ; ruthlessly across- St,
Marys avenue in a heavy touring car, struck this
happy lad and drove swiftlyaway. That he
did not stop to attempt to. save this childish life
by carrying .the boy to a hospital, but fleds'in-
stead,, is confession of guilt, 1 ; i v
This is a deed to rouse the indignation of
every parent One has only to look out ."his"
window and watch the children at play, in the
snow to realize the havoc that could be wrought
by a single careless automobile driver. The
manly pride of the boys guiding their sleds down
the hilly paths is goodto see. Joy such as theirs
is all too rare in this world, and it is unfair-to
deprive them of this healthful sport Accidents
of various degrees of seriousness-are bound to
occur, of course, but such heartrending casual
ties as that caused by careless driving can be
eliminated.
Parents may warn their children of the neces-i
sity for care, but against the disregard of all pre
cautions by adults nothing has thus far been
done. It may be possible to reserve certain
blocks for the exclusive use of the children in
coasting time, but until something such as this
is done, the idea' of safety first will be best im
pressed by each man in a. car remembering his
own days of real sport and taking thought of
his successors on the slide. 7 m -. V
When Henry Ford Slipped. ,
What part the general fear of shortage in the
supply of various necessaries of life, including
coal, had in running up prices cannot be accur
ately measured at this time. It must be true,
nowever, tnat tne eagerness ot the public to make
sure of having adequate supplies before a short
age or other unfavorableTievelopments caused
prices to rise, had considerable effect on , the
markets. ,
Not even purchasing departments of the great
corporations were free from this panicky rush
to make ure. An example of this was given by
George H. Cushing, secretary of a wholesale
coal association, in his testimony before the
senate investigating committee. Actuated by the
fear that there would not be coal enough to
go around, firms with pkanty of money were
said by their unchecked competitive bidding to,
have made it impossible for the average con
sumer to get anything like a reasonable price.
Mr. Cushing said that Henry Ford sent 10
agents into the field to buy coal for his plants-.
Three of the Ford agents entered into direct
competition with each other, not being aware
of the situation. The first is said almost to have
completed a bargain at $9 a ton, when the second
bid $9.50, and the third raised the price to $10.
The first . Ford agent then, according to Mr.
Cushing, bid $11 andUhus secured the coal for
Mr. Ford at $2 a ton more than would have
been necessary. The order was so large that
the loss to Mr. Ford ran into hundreds of
thousands, but the loss was also felt by the pub
lic, which had to bid against the price set by
such a farcical blunder.

i A Mighty Good Start
Perhaps the action of the appropriations
committee' in dealing with the sundry civil ap
propriation bill may not be taken as 'final, but
it is a mighty encouraging sign. Cuts in the bill
reduce it to a little less than half the total asked
for in the estimate. . A purpose to put the ad
ministration of the government on a pre-war
basis is indicated, and to this the taxpayers will
say amen. Many extensions and expansions of
the pay roll were tolerated under the guise .of
war necessity-these have no reascjn for existence
now. A great many experiments undertaken
then have proved useless, and their continuation,
means needless expense.; The committee has
ruthlessly swtpt these into the discard. It also
has put'.a tto on a number of requests for the
continuation of activities that have merely meant
expenditure without adequate return in service.
From whatever point the report is viewed, the.
effect must be to encourage the people to hope
for a full redemption of the promise of economy
in governmental expense.
Also the Lieutenant-Governor.
As suggested several weeks ago, Mr. Harding
has declared his intention of inviting Governor
Coolidge to sit in with the cabinet after March 4
next This will add real dignity to the office of
vice president, giving its incumbent a definite
place in the executive branch of the government
He has no share in the legislative, his position
as presiding officer of 4he senate being entirely
divorced from the law-making function of that
bodv. This anclies also to the lieutenant -srovi'Tnor
r Of Nebraska, whom it is now proposed by some to
clothe with the new dignity of additional duties.
Just what form these will take is not as yet. dis
closed, but several members of the approaching
general assembly have declared an intention to
do something to lift the office above its present
character of fifth-wheel. The experiment seems
to be worth trial and results may eventually
justify tjie attempt
The fuel administration under Dr. Garfield
cost the government less than $5,000,000, but the
Lord only knows how much it cost the people.

' THE WILL TO BE STRONG.
To continue good health, private
or public, something more than pro
tection against disease is required.
A health department might clean up,
vaccinate, quarantine and an indi
vidual might use the services of the
meet skilled physicians and results
might still be disappointing. In ad
dition to all the activities before
mentioned, it Is necessary that there
be a high degree of physical vigor.
The old Greeks and Spartans knew
this and they developed co-operative
and competitive games as a means ot
building up the physique of the peo
ple. - In recent years the ' Scandinavian
racea have gone farther In reviving
the methods of Sparta and Greece
than have any- other people. Know
ing this, we are not surprised when
we turn to statistical tables to find
that the Scandinavian cities have
among the very lowest death rates
and that the people of Scandinavian
birth and Scandinavian descent in
this country have low death rates
and low Infant mortality and that
tbey grow tall and broad.
In an article on Swedish athletics
written by Erie Bergwell we are told
that gymnastics have for a long
time been compulsory in the publio
school curricula. This has been the
law so long that the Swedish adults
of today themselves had the benefit
of this and their parents also went
through it In alt probability.
However, the encouragement of
physical development does not stop
with the children in the schools. The
government builds stadiums in va
rious parts of the country. The ath
letic meets are supported in part by
government grants. The amount of
state appropriation for the promo
tion of, sports in 1921 is 150,000
kroner.' There are voluntary agencies
for the promotion of sport such as
the Swedish National Gymnastic as
sociation i and the Swedish Central
Association for the Promotion of
Sports.
We.might gain much from them
right now by developing and foster
ing such wholesome winter sports as
skating and various games played on
the ice, snow-shoeing and skiing. I(
we could get our peoplo to play out
of doors in-wlnter we would have
less pneumonia.
It's Subject of Experiment
. S. Li M. writes: "I have read that
removal of the thyroid glands caused
insanity. If the sound thyroid re
moved from a person recently
hanged should be planted In an in
sane person would tt cure him?". .
reply:
When all the thyroid or an exces
sive proportion of it is removed the
subject develops a peculiar kind of
low mentality which is easily recognized.-
A common name for this con
dition is cretinism. There are various
kinds of insanity. The accepted
treatment for persons with the type
o mentality present in cretinism
(possibly it might be called insanity)
is thyroid. This is Injected or given
internally. In a few cases the gland
has been implanted. This treatment
has been in more .or less general use
for a quarter of a century. In addi
tion some investigation is being madr
to determine whether the use oi
various ductless glandl may not be
of service In other kinds of insanity.
