The National Civic Federation looks for a hot campaign, dating from about mid-September, and a good turnout at the polls in November, though this presidential ys Stirred by John Hays nd to do its utmost toward inducing every retor to cast hi lot, the Federation will-seon launch a series of 11,000 meetings against vote slacking. No part of the country will be over- looked. It, is, @ nonpartisan organization. “How you vete doeh't matter, motto, “but vote.” With the backing of the American Legion, all the leading women's. clubs, the chamber *of commerce of the United’ States and dozens of assorted societies, the federation management is confident of getting real results, ight votes are the rule in “off years,” but there never has been a drive of the proportions this one is expected to be. The primaries, too, have promised well. In spots there have been complaints of lavish use of money, but at least there were evidences of interest on the public's part in the choice of candi- dates, The voters may-not consider that they have much | choice between parties, but they do have a choice be- tween candidates, The very lack of a vital national issue has forced the latter to concentrate on those which seemed likely to have the maximum appeal in their various communities, and the voters know what they are voting for and against. Prohibition probably hus the broadest general | apeal, pro and con. The dominant question in a, score'of states, it is at least an important secondary | issue in most of the rest. ’ | Farm relief is paramount in the corn: belt. State rights, somewhat mixed with prohibition, and the tariff, complicated with farm relief, loom largely in their respective territories. The world court has bees sectionally. Just what the world court an uc of nations mean may. not be understood ‘in detail, but, as “for- eign entanglements,” they play their part in the cam-" paign. In some places war debt settlement has been emphasized. Primary election expenses will be a factor in two or three states. t ° The vital issue in one corner of the country is not the vital issue in another corner, but each. has its’ vital issue, calculated to bring its voters to the polls, <3 In the issues, the National Civic Federation, as a body, is not concerned. Its concern is in having is- | sues sufficiently interesting to the eleqiorate to bring out the vote. If it gets a record vote in an “off year,” its work will have been well done, so far as this campaign is concerned. is not is ie Mme.

And' until the waterways are equipped to restore its eco- nomic equilibrium, the middle west will be handi- capped and the victim of an unequal struggle. And, while it has always been considered that! river traffic could only handle slow-moving, non- | perishable freight in a lumbering sort of way, the newer developmdnt of high speed craft designed to run in a few feet of water point to the evolution of | a type of boat whidh would be able to carry a large | quantity of perishable freight, yet navigate the shoal waters of some of the middle western states with | safety, surety and adequate speed. It is along this | line that future develépment of waterways in the middle west: must come. The Ederle Criticism Grave doubts are being expressed on the other side of the Atlantic concerning the conditions under | which Miss Gertrude Ederle swam the English chan- nel. Observers and experts on‘channel conditions are at a losg to account for the fact that Miss Ederle | ‘suffered no tidal drift and they claim that she was convoyed in such a manner as to shield her from the force of the sea and that she was in a Measyre aided in*her swim by the suction of one of the tugs. This is to be sincerely regretted. If these dharges 4re untrue, they still serve to cast'a cloud over what most persons consider a sterling and successful ef- fort. And if they are true they cast a grave doubt *s sportsmanship, Of course, some criticism is to be expected. A certain amount of jealousy is.to be expected, jeal- ousy of a character not tempered with good feeling. Perhaps it is this that is being vented through the medium of the editorial pages of variou: yen and French newspapers. Or perhaps. it A ven 4 international Jealousy manifesting a resent- that an American girl should accomplish what English and Krench girls had failed to do, and in their home territory, But whatever it is, it is regrettable., ‘To those who have followed, the tof Miss Ederle and her conduct of herself in the glare of the publicity She has obtained, both before and after her success- ful swim, it seems impossible that she would have been capable of anything but the most sportsmanlike conduct in what to her was the supreme effort. Our sympathy and our loyalty must be with Miss Ederle until the contentions of the foreign criticizers have simmered down to a saner basis. We must be- lieve that she accomplished her aim and upheld the best traditions of true American sportsmanship, A doctor in Vienna has invented a process for printing flexible glass beads into a fabric so that the bead will net become loosened unless it is torn out. Editorial Comment Why We Are Disliked (St. ,Paul Dispatch) Lord Rothermere has disclaimed responsibility for the Shylock campaign against America which has been going on in some of his newspapers, but that is only poor reassurance for Americans who have been disturbed by thé plain evidence ota growing ill will in Europe towards this country. It is to-be| feared that Lord Rothermere is speaking only too} truthfully when he says that the resentment to which his newspapers have given expression does exist. And the unfortunate part about it is that the debts really are not the root of the trouble. The situa| tion would be greatly simplified if they were. The debt question is only the outlet for an antagonism that has a deeper source. This feeling dates from the moment when it be- came apparent that America declined to hitch it- self to the apron strings of this or that European diplomacy. The parting of the ways was reached at the peace conference. The American delegation | alone among the victors had taken seriously the fine professions of idealism during the war. The Euro- pean conception of the peace was ‘a conquest, and America’s part in the league was to be that of an ‘acquiescent and self-denying member in, a club of victors. But America refused, and the result has been that the whole disillusionment and disappoint- ment of the peace has been taken out in blame of America, In modern war there are no victors; That doesn’t make sense the first two or three times you read it, but it has a meaning just the same.

Secretary of Commerce Hoover gave voice toa Pertinent fact when he pointed out tp an audience in, Hammond, Indiana, that the setthkment of the middle west was due peculiarly to the natural water: ways, and that, while railroads had subsequently su-|' ~ perseded the lakes and rivers as avenues of trans- portation, the west has now reverted to a status in rivers could again be used with of agricultural and industrial are many contributing causes for the ‘changes affecting the mitidle west, one ¢ ongs is the migration of industries seaboard, chiefly to the disadvantage of agri- Another.is the fact that our-chief agricul- west has been | everyone loses. Europe has required a scapegoat to assuage the bitterness of the disillusionment, She has found one in America. It is not a part of human nature to admit so ghastly a blunder as Europe made in 1914 without first trying whether the blame may not be fastened elsewhere. That misery loves gompany is platitude, but it is no less true for that reason. Were America as unhappy, as poverty-stricken and as troubled as Europe there would be none, or only little, of this resentment. There is jealousy and envy in the feel- ing which Europe bears America, and we do not see what can be done about it. Under any other cir- cumstances the debt settlements-would be regarded obligation wéuld not greatly help matters. It would add a contempt to the string of other hostile emo- tions, What makes the situation so difficult to and an emotional state of mind. Aufericans must realize that they are not confronted with a rational antagonism, a thing of the intellect, but of the emo- “|tions. As an Englishman, a little more frankly in- trospective than most of our crities, once wrote, the real reason why Europe hates America is because America is the happiest country and the Americans the happiest people in the world. Automobile' Thievery (Duluth Herald) ' A local article in The Herald last night reflected a growing impatience on the part of the Public with the nuisance of what is apparently a widespread and systematic stealing of automobile accessories, chief- ly tires, from parked vehicles. In the main the stealing of automobiles is done by thoughtless boys who ‘run off. with other people’s “pe to ore themselves joy-rides. stealing of tires and other is plain larceny, a nes io as weaik oo tee been repo it would indicate that it is-a sys- business, with some regular outlet for They’re Easily BEGIN HERE TODAY MRS. PRENTISS sees lights mysteriously appear and disap- pear in the HEATH househgld next door one night, and the negt day Harbor’ Gardens, Lae Island, is’ agog with the murder of MYRA HEATH and the dia, appearance of her husband, PERRY. Houses sents of the, Heaths, are LAWRENCE INMAN, hefr to Myra’s fortune, and BUNNY Moore, vi lous, =golden- haired, to whom suspicion points” because of her refusal to answer-~ questions. Myra Heath was peculiar. She never used cosmetics, never wore colors. She had a mania for col- lecting glass, and it was a rare old whiskey bottle from her ‘col- lection that the murderers wu: to kill her.

The peculiar thing about Heath’s disappearance is that all the windows and doors had been locked on the inside the night before and were found that way in the morning. ‘Finger prints of Bunny Moore and Inman were found on the bottle. At, the Country Club, the mur- der is discussed by SAM AN- RSON, Heath's rival for th club presidency; AL CUNNI} HAM, who is trying to solve the crime, and others. Some believe: Heath the murderer. Anderson disagrees. TODHUNTER BUCK, nephew of Mrs. Prentiss and in love with. Bunney, suggests to Cunningham that Heath also , may have been murdered.

Heath was not man of affairs, i s was simple—merely the his pictures through deal- i to private buyers.

And some of them must have knowledge of Heath, Yet Cunningham was by. is, A busitfess man’s ciates would know about him, but an artist is a different props sition.
