THE KNOW HOW
i A few years ago a man I knew
in Iowa had a business, a patent
he marketed, he sold it out for
$20,000. I remember well how
he blew off about the hong price
he got and how he told some of us
Jhe business could never bring a
profit. Just a few' days ago, I saw
■this man again and he showed me
a clipping from the old town, in
which it stated the business had
made a net profit of $83,000, that
last year, and $2,000,000 had been
offered for the company by the
eastern capitalists. “See what 1
let slip through my fingers,” he
moaned in utter despair. This
man was just a fool dreamer, im-
practical and no business man.
He never could have made $10,-
000 out of the business in 100
years. He would ve/y probably
have been bankrupt three years
ago. The reason this great price
was paid for ,his former holding
was because the men who paid
him $20,000 for it knew how to
make it pay $83,000 profit and
this “know how” made it worth
$2,000,000 to men who wanted to
put their money behind such
brains. It must be great to have
money making brains.
ALTERNATION OF PARTIES
It is already evident that the
cry about Republican corruption
will not be raised with much ef-
fect' this year’s campaign. When
stump speakers can think of noth-
ing else to say, they will, of
coufse, shout: “Turn the rascals
cry. But most people will re-
flect that the big Republican ras-
cals have already been turned
out, and that no one accuses the
candidates in 1928 of rascality,
or of any purpose to cover it up
or condone it. This is not to say
that the scandals of the Harding
Admistration are not a continu-
ing reproach to the Republican
Party, or should not cause Ameri-
cans to buslh with shame when-
ever they think of the sorry busi-
ness. Particularly must Ameri-
cans living n Europe feel as mor-
tified as Lowell said that they did
when news of the misdeeds under
President Grant filtered across
the ocean. But it will be impos-
sible to make headway for the
Democrats this year by charging
that the Republicans are rotten
all through. Governor Smith has
already made it plain that his
chief attack and appeal will not
be of that kind.
Even if the Republican Party
cannot he shown to be a sinner
above all that dwell in Manhattan
or Jersey City, there is a valid
argument for depriving it of pow-
er at Washington. This lies in
the nature of our theory and
practice of government by party.
It implies two things: first, that
there always must be an alterna-
tive party fit and ready to take
the reins of Government; and,
second, that any party having too
long a lease of office is apt to
grow Btale and inefficent and not
sufficiently responsive to the de-
sires of the country. This is the
grftat trouble with the Republi-
can? today. They have allowed
themselves to ’fall into the delu-
sion that they alone are able to
conduct the affairs of the nation.
This has made them too complac-
ent vgith themselves and too arro-
gant in their attitude toward the
public.
WeJcnow that it is a bad thing
for a man in any important posi-
tion to com* to believe that he is
indispensiabfe. It is just as bad
for a political party. After one
set of politicians and public men
have been at the head of the Gov-
ernment ’for eight years, it is fat-
ally easy for them to acquire a
fooliah notion of selfBufficiency
and to assume an intolerable air
of superiority to their party oppo-
nents and to everybody who dis-
agree? with them. Lord Rose-
bery said that “office is an ac-
quired taste," but he added that
jit is, after all, made up of falli-
jble mortals.
For the Democratic Party, and
i may be said for the country, i
is important to have it demon-
strated that the Opposition can
become the Government without
causing shock or disturbance. A
road clearly open to high office
would be a needed encouragement
to the Democrats. And surely
the people as a whole cannot
benefit in the long run by having
it supposed that one of the two
great parties must be forever ex-
cluded from power. 1) change is

en from office to do a little need-
ed examination of conscience. It
may satisfy the country, by let-
ting it know that if an Admin-

And it is obvious that a party
newly installed in office is under
a great stimulus to show by its
deeds that it deserves and hopes
to contiune to merit the confi-
dence of the country. In short,
an effective balance and ex- i
change of political parties is in
the United States desirable if we
are to hold to our old ideas about!
setting one party to watch an-!
other, and to heat it if necessary, j
when there is danger of harm i
coming to the Republic.
This argument cis admittedly !
only on general principles. It is
sound so far as it makes against
overweening assumptions by the
Republicans. But it could easily j
be broken down by extreme Demo-|
ciatic blunders of follies. Of
the comcon charge that the Re-
publican Party is both corrupt
and contented, the worst part is
the second. If eight years in of-
fice is the second. If eight years
ir offee have made it impervious
to reason and drunk with power, j
then, it is, indeed, time for a
change.—New York Times.

WHAT GOES UP IN SMOKE
Every year in the Unittd States
fire consumes property valued at
over half a billion dollars. It is
an impossibility for imagination
to appreciate adequately the
magnitude of such a waste. A re-
cent news item adopts the excel-
lent method of driving home the
lesson by practical example.
With five hundred dollars, a
four hundred mite paver! road
could be built at a cost of $25,-
000 per mile, and a $5,000 house,
containing $2,000 worth ot furni-
ture, erected every 100 feet on
both sides. Each house could
have an operating fund of $2,000.
Further, it would build a $500!
garage for each house and place!
a $2,000 automobile in each gar-
ge. And after all this was done, j
there would still be several mil-;
lions left over that could be dis-
tributed among the occupants for j
spending money.
The inestimable value of prac-!
tical fire prevention is well j
brought out by this example. It
is a public and personal duty, not |
to be avoided. Anything we may |
do to help abolish fire wa.ste will

Mr8. J. H. Nichols, who lives at

Ky., says:
"Some few years ago, my health
was bad. I had very severe pains
la my sides. My nerves were in
a terrible condition. I could not
rest
"The lower part of my body
was very sore. I did not feel like
eating, and did not sleep well at
all at nights.
"A friend of mine recommend-
ed Cardui. I began taking it and
eaw quite an improvement in my
condition, I kept it up until I
felt strong and well”
About a year ago, Mrs. Nichols
says, ehe found herself in a ner-
vous, run-down condition. "I took
Cardui again,” she adds, "and it
helped me wonderfully. It is a
splendid tonic.**
