SHENANDOAH PASSES.
TOO FEW OWN HOMES.
|1 A LADY VICE-PRESIDENT.
THE PEOPLE'S INDEPENDENCE.
The airship Shenandoah, sailing
toward Albany, above the Hudson,
last week, passed the Twentieth
Century, the fastest New York Central
train, coming from Chicago.
The airship carried 120 human
beings, the express train many
more. The passengers on the fast
kg train bent their necks looking upward,
and thought how strange it
was travelihg up there in the air.
In a few years that well-appointed
express train will be out of
date as the stage coach is now.
The young Vanderbilt boys and
George F. Baker, real boss of the
New York Centra!, would do well
to begin planning r.ow for transportation
through the air. They
a-,., .a. . ?
?h'c vuc ici iiiiiiaia, van raise niuiicy,
and should aee the warning written 1
in the sky by smoke from the ex- a
haust pipes of the big flying ship.
pi President Coolidgc tells real estate
men he wants to see this coan- i
try a home-owning nation. That's
better than Henry Navarre's wish
that every Frenchman should have
a chicken cooking on the Btove. 1
La Poule, au poto. <
Frenchmen, seven million* of
them, own the soil of France,
thanks to the revolution. '
That's what helped them to hold i
Verdun.
The peasants own Sweden. That 1
enabled Charles Xn. to masch with
only 12,000 of them through Peter's
great armies.
Too few own their homes and the
land, in this country. ,
The Agricultural 'Departttfent reports
the worst crops in many
years. That's bad news for those i
who eat the crops, but may meaif '
better prices for farmers not able
to make a living recently. ;
The Chicago Poard of Trade exwv-'A
.. ? -- i and 1
with the wheat crop cut more than A
forty million bushels something
ought to hsppen.
Federal District Judges Carpenter
and Wilkerson act aside President
Coolidge's pardon of Philip
Grossman, in Chicago, denying the
President's power in civil cases and
adding: "To allow such power to p
the Executive is to strike a death
blow at the independence of the
judiciary."
That's a good saying and coura- ,
geous. All Federal Judges depend
on the President for appointment '
and promotion. ?
It'a alto a saying for the people i
a ramamkoe in !?? ??-?
w vuiEiuusi in vaoc vucj iiap^cu, ,
some day, to get ml era that repre- |c
sent them, and nobody else. ! 1
At present our system "Allows >
such power to the judiciary as to t
endanger the independence of the
people." You see it when the cast- s
ing of one single appointed Su- I
Kme Court vote, in the majority, y
i power to over-rule an elected .
Congress. And when Congress is I
ruled by a bare majority, in a court 1
beyond the people's control, that is t
not democracy. f
If there exists any power t
. .greater than the people's power, t
then what we call self-government I,
is a joke, as when a farmer lets
his baby "drive the horses," the '
farmer, however, holding the reins, t
while the baby only thinks he is j
liriving. .
? Well thought out power to recall
every one of their public servants, 1
k whether elected or appointed by an <
W elected official, is what the people jj
r will have eventually. That will
come when they really take an in- *
terest in their government and thus t
prove their fitness to govern them- .
salves. i.
Mrs. Genevieve Allen, of San |?
Francisco, suggested that som.i ! ?
woman be nominated for VicePress
dent. It i.-n1! necessary to say j ?
what old politicians think of that ;
^^Nevertheless, young politicians will r
live to .see things in politics moro
surprising.
The time hasn't come yet, however,
for, strangely.enough, at thiii i
moment more women than men
Would be shocked at the idea of n
woman on the President :ai ticket.
Perhaps, pome day, the world will
blcas the big war, although it did '
cost 250 billions and 20 million liver.
Poison gas will Jo more good
than it has ever done harm; it ha I

And row, in the-Ckraine, Trotzky
orders his army fliers tu use gai

The Board of Agriculture in Cleveland
County is now working with the
county home and farm agent in gatting
the people to name their farms.
Bvery farm in North Carolina should
