His perseverance makes one wish that he would lift the cup and take it home with ae who have been following a very interesting series of sketches, as related by Sir Thomas, in the Saturday Evening Post, sense the fine character of the man and his perennial good nature. a} has shag been a good loser. It is estimated that the various challenges have cost Sir Thomas some ten millions. Some of it he can charge up to very profitable advertising but not all of it. Despite the fact that he is a keen businessman, he is also a game sportsman—he is not always thinking in terms of tea, hams and bacon which he markets on & grand scale for he probably is father of the chain store idea and one of the first merchants to realize the great pulling power of newspaper advertising. ‘Whatever the results of the Newport races, Sir Thomas has the best wishes of millions of Americans and there is just a wish among many that he “lifts the old mug.” 3 When the Bayous Voted Just when it looked as though Heflin and Blease were to be benched politically, Louisiana decided to send a tyo- jea] fighting representative to Washington, one who doubtless will out Heflin a Heflin and out Blease a Blease. How do they get that way in\the bayous? Governor Long promised every voter a job if he got to Washington and between pledges he punched newspa- permen and was charged with complicity in kidnaping. ‘The high spots in his campaign were fisticuffs and vitu- peration. Here probably is the primary at its worst, while lately in Texas with the defeat of “Ma” Ferguson, the primary operated at its best to relieve a tired and harassed elec- torate. ‘Those thousands and thousands of plain people “back “up, the bayous” were for Long. They evidently like their “likker red” and their senators bold, reckless and pugna- cious. The dignified, useful, seasoned Senator Ransdell steps down. He just drifted too far from the’bayous and the turpentine swamps—where they like to hear the welkin ting and heads crack. Long may give them the kind of amusement they are looking for and even Heflin and Blease won't bé missed at Washington. Ruth McCormick’s Weakness Decidedly the chances of victory in the Milinois sena- torial election are with Ruth McCormick but there is an inherent weakness in her appeal to the voters. of that state. First she was to be dry. Her statement said she would have plenty to say on that issue later. Then the post- primary campaign managers went into a huddle. Illinois is militantly wet. It had so spoken in a referendum not long ago. After the usual thimble rigging so prevalent in political headquarters, it was decided to remove the issue from Mrs. McCormick’s campaign completely. She was to be neither wet nor dry, but with a resignation heroic, she would abide by a referendum which her back- ers have arranged. Relegated, as it were, to a delightful Umbo. £ If Illinois goes wet in this referendum, she is wet; if the mandate is dry, then dry will Ruth become. That takes the irritating issue out of the campaign but where does it leave “Ruthless” Ruth. It gives a rather anemic tinge to her entire campaign. This’ twentieth | century crusader, the first woman to be nominated for the United States senate with more than a Chinaman’s chance to win, is now the ordinary issue-dodging politi- ¢ian. We had hoped she was different. If politicians are going to be relieved of vital issues in this way, where is the zest of battle; where is the glory of victory? Real Progress ‘Newspaper readers who tire of reading stories of mur- der, fire, robbery and blood-curdling events of different kinds, probably found considerable refreshment in read- {ng of the achievements recounted at the: various scien- tific meetings held recently. ‘The findings reported by the men who work with test- j to the layman it is apparent that even a major 4s only an incident in the history of the world. tific discovery may be an epoch. af if ib ito being.

If one is to keep up with the world today he must have some knowledge of what goes on in the world of science. It doesn’t interest us much to read of a new theory on the extent of space or the fourth dimension, but’ it may have the effect-of inspiring some other individual to de- vise a new way of making “ships or shoes or sealing wax” which will relegate present practices to the limbo of the industrial past. 3 Low Interest Rate Interest rates charged Uncle Sam have reached the new low record of 2 3-8 per cent. This reflects an abundance of money minus any other place activity. When the federal treasury gets such a rate of interest for a year’s period, it merely indicates a great amount of idle money. The situation also reflects the use| a demand for safe investment and the shifting back from Ay, tke, * stocks to bonds, ' $ MW yy 7 It will be remetnbered too, in this connection, that only w Wi f ye ’ @ year ago the federal government paid 5 and 6 per cent for short time loans. Trade speculation then was at the peak. Safety is the keynote today. 5 What a difference just twelve months makes. Wages Up, Costs Down Workers in the building trades enjoy, on the average, very high wages. Very often people who complain of high building costs blame these wages, and assert that everything would be lovely if only the wages could be materially reduced. ‘ A recent bulletin from one of the largest, industrial construction firms in the country, does not seem to agree with this thesis, however, This company reports that industrial building costs today are the lowest in eight years. Except for a period in 1022, they have not been so low since 1916. The bul- letin remarks: “All of the decline is due largely to falling prices of materials and greater efficiency of labor and construc- tion equipment. Wage rates at 185 per cent over the 1913 level continue at the peak for all time, while all building costs, including labor, are less than 40 per cent over 1913,” state elections of the next three|rage, a direct popular vote for presi- years candidates were nominated by |dent and vice president, a sound cur- the party, but received relatively fewjrency and encouragement of immi2 ‘votes, p RET STEIN Today Is the - Anniversary of peril ‘The national. convention met in In the ensuing election, the party’ THE PROHIBITION PARTY | columbus, O,, Behruary 22, 1872, and : On September 12, 1869, the National| nominated James Black of Pennsyl-|The organ of the Prohibition Prohibition Party was organized at ®/vania and John Russell of Michigan|The Voice, wastascaubahea Sipser : itary. og ue convention in Chicago. as the prohibition candidates for |ber 25, 1884, and published in Chicago.
