THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) ACCEPTANCE The inference might be drawn from the acceptance; SPEECH speech of John W. Davis, the Democratic nominee for the presidency, that he was talking more to LaFollette sup- porters than to any other class mineing of words in the address. of votes. There was no It was not the speech of . “soft hands of Wall street” as some of the opponents of Mr. Davis at the New York convention might have expected. The Democratic nominee, naturally, places his party in the field as the candidate of the the Jeader of the onslaught against the party in power. opposition and himself as In doing so he assumes much of the political thunder claimed for LaFollette, a candidate of the forces of discontent with! Mr. Davis takes the position that hon- existing conditions. esty and ability in office alone can right many of the things of which some vcters complain. He seeks to place upon the Repubjican party, including President Coolidge directly. blame for the oi] scandals. Said Mr. Davis: “I charge the Republican party with corruption in administration; with favoritism to privileged classes in legislation. also with division in council and I charge it impotence in action.” Throughout Mr. Davis’ speech there is strong denuncia- tion of the Republican party and its leaders. The character of the speech of Mr. Davis is such that it presages a cam- paign which is likely to rob Senator LaFollette of the hope; his supporters felt when Mr. Davis was nominated, that he, too, could be charged with being a candidate of the interests. The plain of campaign indicated by Dr. Davis emphasizes the issues between the Republican and Democratic parties. It. will Have the effect of making the main show the fight between Coolidge and Davis, with LaFollette on the side- lines thundering challenges at both. PRIVATE OPINION PUBLISHED For some years past it has been part of the writer’s daily labor to at least “scan” four or five dozens of the country’s newspapers and it can be truthfully said that no event since the breaking out of the World War has received half the is now receiving. 2 Most of the papers are recei = attention of reeders that the Leopold-Loeb case at Chicago ving “cards” of individual “opinion by th> bushel and the variety of opinion is very in- teresting. Herewith, some of the more striking opinions are given, that. this paper’s readers may see how they fit with theirs: | Cleveland—‘‘Leopold and Loeb are mere boys, without! mental, physical or moral maturity, and their youth should; They should be incarcerated , until their maturity shows what they really are and their degree of guilt.

RIFTS IN THE LUTE The third party, that isn’t third party, is a singular mis! n, as Hugh Latimer and Mayor | or used to say, of Incongru- elements artificially and tem- porarily held together. ‘There is} such a play of cross-purposes among them; there are such alter-! nate strains of opportunism and | fanaticism, of present and opposed ultimate object in it, that only the name “progressive,” so ironical inj view of Mr. LaFollette’s attitude in 1912, unites this motley com-} pany. Republicans like Senator | Ladd and Senator Frazier of North Dakota, who cling to Mr. LaFol- lette and yet remain, or say they remain, in the Republican fold; a Democratic Senator like Wheeler, who takes the “ sive” nomination for Vice ident yet works for the re-election of his Democratic colleague, Sen- ator Walsh, and for the Montana Democratic ticket, add new wind-}{ ings to the political maze. Many inconsistencies and com- plications must arise in many Siates out of this curious and es- sentially insincere situation. The Radger Boss has too many strings to his bow. In Mr. Wheeler's own State an incident trivial enough in itself, is not without instruction to students of this rambling coali- tion. Mr. Dewey Dorman has been appointed the Western &dminis- trator of Mr. LaFollette’s political fcrtunes. The Honorable “Sam” ‘Yeagarden, a name to resound for ages, swims into our ken as “a probable candidate for * United States Senator on the ticket of the LaFollette Progressive Party of Montana” Now wrath is directed against the wretched, rash, intrud- ing Dorman, who invaded Mon- j tana, according to the Honorable “Sam” Teagarden, “at the urge of Senator Wheeler to aid the candi- dacy of Senator T. J. Walsh.” Such is the reward of Mr. Wheel- er’s ambidexterity. The Montana LaFollette Progressive Party takes! a queer remedy for its grievances. ; To punish Mr. Wheeler for abet- ting a Democratic candidate for Senator, the young party is trying to substitute the name of the Democratic nominee for Vice President as Mr. LaFollette’s a3- sociate. Representative Nelson, Mr. LaFollette’s national cam- paign manager, disowns the too independent anti-Wheeler, anti- Dorman “progressives.” ' The: Montana rw “is probably the work of some local organization which hus nothing to do with the nation- al LaFollette campaign.” The! Montana situation has been mud- dled “by people who have nothing to do with our work.” Such mud- dling is inevitable in the cireum- stances. It isn’t and won't be con- fined to Montana. Other “pro- gressive” foundlings will be leit on Mr. Nelson’s doorstep.

They were having a wonderful time on their vacation and were willing to go any place at all that Weeny suggested. “Who's there?” called Mister Rhino when Weeny knocked on his door with his trunk. “Company,” called Weeny. “Well, I can’t let you in. I’m taking a bath,” said Mister Rhino. “All right—we'll wait on your doorstep,” said Weeny. “We're not in any hurry.” 5 “Oh, I'm not in my house. My bath-tub’s in my front yard,” said Mister Rhino. “Here I am,” and he appeared dripping wet right out of ja big mud puddle. “Goodness!” said Weeny. “Why, you're as muddy as a potato, Mister Rhino. That’s.a funny way to take a bath.” “Oh, but it feels so good,” said Mister Rhino. “And it makes my back stop itching. It’s as itchy as a mosquito bite all over.” “We'll scratch your back 40 times a day if you'll just let us stay a while,” said Weeny eagerly. 50 and T'll say it’s a said Mister Rhino, “Just hang it on my nos take it in for you,” Rhino cordially, So Nick hung the satehel on the and and I'll said Mister horn on Mister Rhino’s nose they all went into the house. “Do you play casino?” asked ter Rhino when they got inside. “We do,” said Nancy and ‘Nick, “and ‘Old Maid,’ too.” But ‘before Weeny could say scratching party!” demanded Weeny. “Why that’s only three times and you said 50,” said Mister Rhino.

That’s where the old men hide bunions, gimpy legs, rheu- matic muscles and corpulent bellies behind an abbreviated dance floor. They complain that there is not enough room to dance and_ their colorful companions agree. After all, few of the older generations can jig without tramping on toes ard bruising an ankle or two. The manager of @ supper club that boasts of a well-known orchestra re- lates that when he opened his club with a large dance floor, the guests were few and far between. Instead of taking out tables, he added many. And he placed them on the dance floor. Business immediately picked up. | Within a week it was impossible to dance in comfort, but the club was packed.

ADVENTURES IN DREAMLAND - so By Albert Apple a DE SN moaned The ‘Brownies, delightful creatures of fairyland, live on j though. Palmer Cox, who created them, died recently at his ' home in Quebec. Palmer Cox will be forgotten. But the Brownies will not. They may be eclipsed at times by new fairies, yet their pop- ularity will revive and continue for generations, maybe cen- turies. » No man is great. The fiction people of fairyland are well nigh imperish- able. Quite naturally. They represent life where all is a round of pleasure, with few cares. Their atmosphere is one of good fortune and happiness. These are the things people want—the things that are rare in our humdrum mechanical civilization and which, ‘when they do come to us, are briet., and fleeting like the sweet aroma of forests wafted to. the tired, dusty traveler on a train as he longingly watches through ‘the open car window. 4 We are not quite sure what things are like in the Here- after. - But surely;it.will be a place abounding in delightful Mother Goose, Santa Claus, the Brownies, creatures like Old any greater than his works. Few are as "i No Tom Sawyer (for he was almost a fairy), the Wonderful Wizard ‘of Oz, Jack Daw, Hansel and Gretel, Jack the Giant Killer, Water Babjes and all the other mystic people who thrill the imagination of all children under 90. It is good that, in our matter-of-fact world of alarm clocks, sordid scandals, labor strife, politics, tight,shoes, thin wallets and rules and regulations, we have the fairyland of fiction with its romantic adventures. Life would be dull and drab without the mystic cregtures, shadowy phantoms, the things that dreams are made of. That harsh and merciless.taskmaster, the efficiency expert, is forever pranting that we are not practical enough. Ah! we are too practical, and that is why life at times becomes monotonous, We do not dream enough. For, after all, we ourselves are dream creatures. ‘We rise from the dust, have a brief and bewildering kalefdoscopic experience called life . . . then vanish into the dreamland from which we came. : In sleep with its‘dreams and in fairy tales only do we find life as we yearn for it, life as it could be, should be. At times we envy the inventor of such devices of human enslavement. as the steam engine, the wheel, the'dynamo and the factofy. But possibly greater are the achievements of the whimsical, kindly brains that created Santa Claus, Old) Mother Goose, the Brownies, Alice in Wonderland and the other lovable folk of the World of Make Believe. . “Look out for: averweight,” Mr. Jones’ -phiysical~adviser warned him, when Mr. Jones was reaching middle pig i 5 : It is. overweight, that, figures ‘so prominently in insurance sisks when men of middle life are, considered.
