br Herbert Corey. 1 cut down. Not a road will be made. The existing buildings in the park which may be replaced, will be replaced with buildings better adapted for their purposes and which instead of restricting the playgrounds for the children will expand them and add to their facilities. Nor should it be forgotten that the selection of this site will leave the entire Memorial fund intact, every dollar of which will be spent for the erection of a structure that will not only be an ornament to the city but that will nobly fulfill the mission for which it is designed the undying commemoration of our boys, who in the most dreadful of wars, fought and died that we might live.

The which would otherwise be expended for the purchase of some other site in no way so suitable will thus be saved to the building fund and will enable the Commission to erect such a Memorial. To say that it would detract from the beauty of the park instead of greatly add to it, would be to say that the classic structures at Berkeley and Arlington mar the beauty of those grounds. THE IMPOSSIBLE CUT-OUT The Courier-Journal docs not doubt the sincerity of the men who met at Lexington this week and voted for a "cut-out" of the Burley tobacco crop next year. But it docs doubt their wisdom. For it knows that they can-'not effect a cut-out by voting for it.

It knows that they cannot commit their sections to such a programme; that they do not represent the full mass of the tobacco growers for whom they would like to speak and have no power to commit them to such an undertaking. It knows that evtn if the facts were otherwise and they could bind all the Burley growers of their districts U) that plan. It would nevertheless be impracticable; that inevitably they would merely tempt others who are not now growing tobacco to take it up and profit at the expense of those faithful to their obligations to raise no tobacco next year. The Courier-Journal knows, further, that if Ibis cut-out project could succeed to a far greater degree than there is any possibility of its succeeding it would play into the hands of the tobacco buyers. They would be glad to see thi3 proposed cut-out project carried through.

They know that there would be plenty of tobacco for them outside of the co-operative pool and that the co-operative Association would suffer a blow which would demoralize it if it did not kill it. The Courier-Journal has sympathy for the motives which prompted members of the Fayette County Farmers' Union and other growers to propose a "cut-out" as a remedy for conditions which last summer they believed themselves to be facing. There Is no questioning the fact that a 100 per cent "cut-out," if it could be conducted harmoniously and effectively, without disturbing economic conditions and without danger to the Burley Tobacco Growers' Co-operative Association, would afford the tobacco planters a splendid opportunity to demontrate how diversified farming pays. However, as the situation stands today, the "cut-out" movement is fraught with grave danger. In the first place, Nature has largely come to the rescue of the Burley growers.

Bast spring's prospects have not materialized. An enormous quantity of tobacco has been fired by drought and thousands of acres have been cut green through fear of frost, which actually has damaged considerable leaf in Southern Kentucky. The Government's crop report says the leaves are small for the most part, which operates to cut the poundage. Separate Burley figures are not yet available, but the total State crop is fixed at 385,433,000 pounds, which is nearly 100,000,000 pound3 less than the 1323 total. Thus, the fear of a huge surplus is in a measure dissolved.

Any movement for a "cut out" on the part of Kentucky growers will be the signal for doubled production in other States even in localities not now growing the weed. Georgia, Tennessee and Missouri farmers have been encouraged by the "Big Four" tobacco corporation interests to try Burley, and if the 100,000 poolers and others in Kentucky should quit, they might find it harder to resume their place as the chief tobacco producers. Everyone who lived through the dark days of the 1907 night riding outrages will realize how very difficult it would be to enforce a "cut out" In 1925. The threat of armed bands riding abroad throughout the growing districts should be enough to give pause to those who contemplate this move. The temptation to grow tobacco, no matter what pledges are made, is too great for some who stand in need.

For these, as well as for others who refuse to sign, there is trouble ahead if this unwise step be taken. Finally, such a move would threaten the death of the pool. The growers cannot afford to kill the goose that laid their golden- eggs. The Association, If a "cut out" should be declared, cannot afford to maintain a vast system of receiving stations if a comparative minimum of tobacco growers, raise crops. Yet, under the contract, the pool must be ready to accept a member's crop at any time.

If the pool, because of its members' action, would be forced to suspend operations for a season, violators of agreements would sell over the Independent floors and they would be for ever lost to the Association.

MEMBER NORTH AMERICAN NEWS PAPER A1.T.I ANTE NOVEMBER 19, 1324 AX IDEAL SITE Central Park is an ideal site for the Troposed Memorial Auditorium.

The 'Commission having charge of this 'undertaking lias faced many difficulties which have long delayed the consummation of the Memorial plans, but has at last overcome them. Not "the least of these difficulties was the "selection of the place on which to and it lias been most happy and 'Onost fortunate in the solution of that problem. There is not anywhere available a location so suitable as Central Park. Of course there are some objectors the action of the Memorial Corn-emission and the Park Board in reaching this decision. But no objections "have been made which have not been I and clearly met by the statement of the Commission published yesterday morning.

This statement apparently had not been read by some of "the objectors who appeared before the rPark Board yesterday to voice their for they asked many of the questions "which had been answered conclusively by the statement. Indeed, The Courier-Journal is unable to conceive of any protest which could be made to this use of the park which is not more than satisfied by the statement of the Commission. That body evidently foresaw, every argument which would be urged against the plan. Among the reasons which actuated the Commission in deciding on this site are that it "permits the fullest and most appropriate development of the Memorial plan, makes for a and dignified environment, provides a free site for the project, looks "to the needs of the city of the future as well as today, provides adequate accessibility, gets away from the 'noises of the uptow'n section and the traffic congestion and 'confusion that would frequently result in the store, office building and theater district." There is no question tha.t the location of the Memorial here will insure the construction of a building far more impressively beautiful than 'would be possible on any other site that could be obtained, and incom-parably more so than it could be made on any site in the more central districts. The spacious grounds here available afford perspectives absolutely Indispensable to the attainment of the imposing artistic Cignity and symmetry desired in such structure.

These effects are always more or les3 sacrificed where such are placed on cramped lots, on or near streets. No beauty which the genius of the architects may de-Sign for this Memorial will be lost diminished by its erection on these 1 grounds. And certainly it is the tin-, pardonable sin in providing, for the and for posterity, such a Memorial, to sacrifice artistic effec-. tiveness. But the reasons for this action of the Commission and the Park Board ere as cogent from the material view point as from the aesthetic.

The Rite's accessibility, yet freedom from the noise of traffic; its ample parking spaces, avoiding the congestion that would be inevitable to any downtown location, are strong considerations in its favor. There is no force in the argument, that it is too far from the business center of the city. It 13 nearer that now than it was when the two old frame Auditoriums prospered in that region; nor did the Exposition a third of a century ago suffer be-cause' it was located there. The protests against the site on the Allegation that it would Impair either the beauty or the utility of the park must have been made without due onsideration or -without adequate in formation. It will not the park Washington, Nov.

18. On the whole, there has been little open recrimination as a resul of the rout of the Democratic party in the electio- but under the surface there is plenty of soreness and it is going to take some management to keep It from breaking out if anybody cares enough to cry. Evidences are multiplying of Will-lam Glbbs McAdoo's reaching out for control of the organization with an eye to 1928, and every time the noise of the building of his machine disturbs the people who are trying to clear away the ruins they sputter out that McAdoo's contribution to the Campaign consisted of a trip to Europe, a hospital operation and $500. vWhat amounts to the launching of the new Mc5.doo boom has been published by National Committeeman Urey Woodson in his newspaper, the Messenger of Owensboro, Ky. After pointing out that the defeat of the Democratic party began with the "stupendous mistake" of holding the convention in New Vork, Mr.

Woodson adduces that it took a combination of fifteen candidates to prevent McAdoo's nomination and mentions that the leaders in this movement "deliberately trumped up the Ku KIux Klan issue as a last resort." "If the Democrtic party is to live," concludes the editorial "and it must live for the salvation of the American people it must not suffer Itself again to be dictated to by an element that makes it its business only to prevent the selection of candidates in Democratic Conventions that the people really want and then lie down or actively join with the Republicans with their means and Influence to continue Republican tuie." This last Is probably a slap at Tammany Hall, though It may have been intended to have the s.hot scatter sufficiently to rake the John W. Davis organization as well, despite the fact that McAdoo men were in most of the key positions during the campaign. A lot of this rock-throwing is to be looked for in the near future, ns the rebirth of the McAdoo boom Is likewise the signal for counter-measures by those who blame McAdoo's hang ing on until the MadLson Square Garden Contention turned sour enough to damn whoever linally got the nomination. The McAdoo contention is that if he had been nominated lie would have carried all the States that Davis got at least, and in addition a lot of the Western States: that La Follette would not have been a candidate, etc. To which the retort is made that had AI Smith been nominated he would have carried all Davis carried, witli the addition of Maryland and Delaware.

New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut and maybe Massachusetts and Illinois, which total more votes than the other list. Out of this exchange of reproaches is developing; a plan to have a meeting of Democrats of all factions but emnracing zealots or none to attempt to bring order out of chaos and get the party back into such shape that it can function again. The primary idea is to get both Smith and McAdoo to eliminate themselves for the sake of the party, the argument being that they are irreconcilable and that a continuation of their ambitions can only bring a repetition of the row that turned an excellent chance for Democratic victory into a certainty of defeat. As indicated, this Idea is only nascent; theoretically it is all right, but it does suggest the old vaudeville frag: "If ne had some ham we could have ham and eggs if we had any eggs." -ine more immediate conundrum concerns the 'preservation of the National Democratic organization. It came out of the election $200,000 in debt, and nothing in politics is harder than paying for a dead horse.

However, Clem Shaver seems to be a game scout, and the understanding is that instead of scuttling he means to go on being National Chairman and to essay the task not only of raising the $200,000 but enough more to keep the headquarters going and so hold the craft afloat for future voyages. It is to be assumed that somewhere along the line the McAdoo forces will try to take the establishment away from Shaver and John W. Davis, who by virtue of his candidacy is the titular leader of the Democratic Party. Naturally nothing very definite can be done until Mr. Davis returns from his vacation abroad and lets it be known whether he has been completely disillusioned or only temporarily stunned.

The party is pretty groggry, naturally, though not any more so than when Harding came in, and as- the poignancy of the defeat diminishes with time it will come back somehow. It isn't in the condition in which La Follette hoped to put it where it would disappear and be engulfed in his progressive organization. Instead, it is fairly evident that the La Follette party is the one that is going to do the disappearing. There is a more or less sporadic effort to hold the State organizations created for the campaign alive, but actually there is little left of the movement. Nobody anticipates that La Follette himself, who will be deep In his mellow seventies by 1928, will try it again, and there is nobody else of sufficient prominence and Interest to rally around.

The completeness of the eclipse of the Wisconsin Senator is evident by the subsidence of the sentiment to read him out of the party and leave him marooned. The Republicans will simply ignore his desertion in the Senate while pressing their effort to take Wisconsin away from him and return It to Its normal Republican status. Really the Republicans owe him a measure of reward; hJs platform, giving them the Constitution and the Supreme Court to defend, made it possible for them to Ignore the oil scandals and other corruption of the past four years and to drown the John W. Davis Issue of honesty In government by appealing to the voters to elect Coolidge as the one sure way to save the country from the abyss of an election In Congress and the peril of having Charles W. Bryan In th White House.

On the Democratic side there Is no suggestion of disciplining Senator Wheeler for his Hallowe'enlng with the third party. Had La Follette gone big. Wheeler possibly might have succeeded to the radical estate, but, as it Is, Wheeler relapses into his status as a Democratic Senator and doubtless will function very much as he did before he went on that political bat. The Capitol guides will point him out to tourists, and in the years to come eomething of the pic-turesqueness will attach to him that casts a halo of Interest about those elderly pillars of certain Western com munities of whom awesome stories are told of what wild devils they were in the six-shooter days of the Territories. There was an Idea that if the La Follette movement attained great vol ume this time its leadership might ap peal to Senator Borah, who in the popular estimation is always hunting fpr a horse to ride in a tourney against the intrenched interests.

Vain hope! Borah may be having his dreams of 1928. but they appertain to the regular nomination. At that, no body has yet said that Mr. Coolidge will resist the prayers of a pious electorate that he do not abandon them four years hence. The publication of communications under this head does not editoriaJ approval.

1S, that because the Democrats were beaten in the late election the Lord had nothing to do with the election. That is a common error. God is busy on all sides In every election, every war, every epidemic. I have this authentically from preachers of the Lord on every side who know exactly what the Lord is doing.

It Is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that pro- eedth out of the mouth ot tiod. Matt. 4:41. This was Jesus' reply, after his long fast in the wilderness, to the temptation that he "command that these stones become bread." In other words, he threw the emphasis off the mere act of physical hunger, and at the very moment when lie most craved food and might be excused for surrendering to that need, he was recalling the condition of man's spiritual life and ranking this above physical existence. Not that Jesus ever showed himself an unpractical dreamer.

He recognized and dealt with secondary needs also. It is not without significance that the first personal petition in the Lord's Prayer is for daily bread. And there are many beautiful illustrations in the Gospels of Jesus' concern for the temporal things of life especially on behalf of others. The real' distinction between materialism and the spiritual view of man is not to be found In exclusive concern for "material" things on one hand, as opposed to exclusive regard for "spiritual" things on the other hand. One of the obvious conclusions from Jesus' life and teaching is that this is an unreal distinction.

The true issue is whether or not the ultimate reality is those things which perish with the using or those things which abide beyond material forms. We begin at the wrong end with a material abstraction called the "economic man." Jesus teaches that. In order to live as a man, far more than bread is needed. It may even be necessary to die In the material sense to live In the spiritual sense. That Is what It means to be a man.

It is a bit of the Old World, survived to lend color to the language of the new. America has been figuratively called a melting pot.

It is from the literal melting pot, however, to which in a bygone day people sent their old or broken pieces or shavings of silver and gold to be melted down and sold, sometimes for coinage, that we have the. phrase "gone to pot." It was not uncommon, in the Europe of the Middle Ages and later, for families finding themselves In as extremity to send their precious metal ornaments and trinkets "to pot."

The West in the days of the gold rush, the cattle rustlers and the Vigilantes remains a green memory of romance generations after the "law came to the frontier." That a vast wilderness, remote from courts. sparsely settled with adventurous spirits, should temporarily be ruled by the simple code of "every man for himself" is easily understood; but the loot of the frontier outlaw and the boldness of his operations pale in comparison with the deeds of gunmen and crooks under the electric lights of America's great cities, protected by thousands of uniformed policemen and plainclothes detectives.

Chicago caps the climax with the O'Banion obsequies. The funeral of an old-timer, who died with li is boots on. would not have called together all the stage coach bandits, cattle rustlers, gamblers and man-killers of the gold camps. But, then, none of them ever was shot through jealousy of his growing political power. Nannie Leo Frayser was a woman of whom it was said: "She never failed to answer a call." Thousands in Louisville, from 7 to 70, had fallen under the spell of her charm and had grown to love her for her kindly deeds, as well as for that genius which attracted little ones to her as naturally as flowers turn to the sun.

Hers was a generous spirit which will be missed.
