T If but 50 per cent, of our people were enough interested in government to go to the polls in our last national election, may it not be due in large measure to the fact that leadersh : p is grasped by men of babbling tongues rather than by those of functioning brains? It was not always so in America. It has nr/ver been so much so as today. And it is due to one of two reasons—to the inability of the leaders to think, or to a moral cow ardice which persuades them to con ceal their thoughts. Men are seeking the Presidential nomination—as leaders if you please —who, on vital issues, positively re fuse to lead or to even think aloud. This means an utter lack of essential qualities; for if they have no idea* , ox plana they Jtro. not fiW aod if thay, . have ideas they daps not:! uttaE^lhap- -s’ are unfit. They lack either the men tal capacity or the moral qualities for which the mass . of the people are waiting—and thus far in vain. Little wonder that 50 per cent, of the people are too cynical or indiffeV- ent to vote when the issues that vital ly concern millions, the success of our institutions and the good of *o- city ant utterly ignored by the very men who aspire to the leadership of the Nation. I^t the candidates remove their mufflers and their rubber heels, and like statesmen of the days when statesmen were leaders and thinkers speak out and tell us where they stand on the Farm problem, Prohibi tion, Immigration, Flood Rolief, Tariff, etc., etc., etc. Then will the P|pidential campaign mean a real debate to which the pub lie interest will respond. Allendale "Tax Levy Shows Big Increase Allendale, Nov. 1.—There has been a decided increase in the tax levy of every school district ' in Allendale County over the tax levy of last year, according to thci annual report made by J. Stoney Sanders, county auditor. In the school districts of Allendale, Appleton, Baldoc, Beech Bf&nch Bennett Springs, Bull Pond, Cave, Riverside, Seigling, Lawton, Syca more and Ulmers—those districts making up the Allendale Centralized High School District, an extra levy os six mills has been added in every district. In the school districts of Brunson. Harmony, Kline, Fairfax, Union. Sand Hill and Shady Grove, a 3 3-4 l«vy has been added to each district. Fairfax district bears the greatest burden of all, with an additional levy of 29 3-4 mills over that of last year. This, of course, is due to the hand some new school building which Fair fax has recently completed.

Sooner or later national organiza tions will lewrn that a real grievance or issue cannot be brushed aside. F »r a fact it is almost an impossibility— because sooner or later it will assert itaelf here or there—and maybe in a new dress not quite as mild a* in its original form. All of this has to do the action- of the ing a place on its convention program for a discussion of the farm problems. It was hardly a wise decisiqn. . There is no more vital or impor tant question before the ^nation to day than our farm problem—and of a financial nature too. Millions of people art involved—representing not only a basic industry—but the most has ic industry. What if the spokesmen of the banker group interested in agricul tural relief had submitted a few un > sound theories or unjust attacks upon the bankers? Isn’t it always better to destroy such reasoning in the arena of open debate than to give them ex tended life by refusing a hearing? Over the long haul the Bankers will find that through talking things over with the farmer they will icome to understand each other better.
