This feeling with reference to the president is not confined to localities. There must haye been something like it in North Da- kota to induce that hotbed of radical experiment to send a Coolidge delegation to the Celeveland convention. It must have been strong in South Dakota, for something brought out such a Cool- idge vote that Johnson, the winner, who had ex: pected a walkover, could account for his rela- tively small lead only by raising the pitiful cry of corruption. When states like Illinois and Nebraska roll up overwhelming endorsements for the president like they have in their primaries it shows the ex- isting state of mind. In point of fact, however we are not left to surmise or calculation on this point. From coast to coast there is a positive, definite ring in the press whensover the president is spoken of that is an expression of public feeling. It is not so much an expression of support for Coolidge as of demand for Coolidge. The support is there, but it is, so to speak, the reverse of a medal, the face of which portrays insistence upon the con- tinnance of the present service that is being given in the White House, The impressive raily- ing to the president springs from his being wanted. The president’s nomination is all but a fore- gone conclusion. His election will be the same thing, once the campaign is under way. While such a result is not exactly anticipated there will be no surprise if the November election shows some such overwhelming landslide as oc- curred in the Harding campaign. A New Order Hoot Mon! What's the matter of these Scotch folk? Simply because of the elevation of James Brown, a Scotch miner. to the place of Lord High Commissioner of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and residence in the state apartments of historic Holyrood Palace, is no cause for @ social boycott by the members of Scotland’s exclusive circles, It is carrying snob- bishness to the extreme. The real cause for the dissatisfaction so freely expressed must be sought deeper. It is more probably found in the fact that the social reign of the Browns will be intensely dry, both James and his good wife being ardent prohibitionists. This is smashing all precedents, and the Scotch do not take kindly to such things. Not to obtain a “wee drap whuskey” at*social functions is wholly unpopular with the Scotch nobility and all other dignitaries of church and state. So it is apprehended, in the absence of any positive statement on behalf of our Scotch cou- sins, that the complaint is not so much on account of the social humbleness of the Browns, as it is because of their views with reference to a prod- uct of the country with a world wide reputa- tion for excellenca Wheeler's Refusal to Act The American Civil Liberties union has come to the rescue of Senator B. K. Wheeler, of Mon- tana. That organization has broadcasted an at- tack upon the Republican National committee because it recently gave to the public the facts respecting the activities of Wheeler and his gang in Montana. The statement of the Civil Liberties union contains the following: “According to the press dispatches, the state. ment (of the Republican national committee) says ‘the decent, patriotic Americans of Butte took the matter in hand, hanged one of the lead- ers and ran the others out of Butte’ This re fers to the lawless hanging of a strike leader, Frank Little, on July 31, 1917. It is incredible to us that a responsible organization of the Re publican party can condone lynching and. mob violence. The hanging of Frank Little was one of the many outrages committed by the Anaconda Copper company against their employes, and was solely due to Little's activities as a strike leader. No charges of sedition or treason were mado against him or any of the strikers. * * * The state of Mogtana, politically and indus- trially, has long been dominated by the Ana- conda Copper company, which is controlled from New York City. The company’s record is one of lawlessness, bloodshed, bribery and corruption. Mr. Wheeler has vigorously fought the power of the Anaconda Copper company and espoused the cause of the plain people of the state. Mr, Wheeler should be commended for his activities in behalf of the American rights of free speech, | freedom of the press and freedom of assem blage.” The haste of the American Civil Liberties union to rush to the defense of Senator Wheel- er only proves the truth of the old adage that “birds of a feather flock together.” The state- ment issued by the Republican News bureau of the Republica natjonal committee regarding part of Wheeler’s record in Montana did not condone lynching or mob violence. It merely stated the fact that the patriotic citizens of Butte, Mont., took a man by the name of Little out and hanged him. The statement of the American Civil Liberties union to the effect that no charge of sedition Was made against Little is a lie. The facts are wpe Casper Wap Crioune Not Attributed to the Tariff ‘The charge that the tariff is re- sponsible for the increase in ‘price of food receives a knockout blow in reports just issued by the depart. ment of agriculture and the depart- as follows: Frank Little was not a resident of} ment of labor relative to the high Montana. He was not an employe of the Ana-| cost of bread and its causes. conda Copper company. He was not a striker. The department of agriculture He was an I. W. W. organizer and agitator.

Thia survey has time of war. He had been in Arizona only the month before he was hanged in Montana. Ac- cording to one of Little’s own speeches made in been instrumental in tying up certain mines in Arizona. To quote from Little’s'speech made in Butte, Mont., at the baseball park: “T had an interyiew with the governor of Ari- zona June1. The governor asked me what would happen if the companies would not yield to our demands. I told him we would call every man out of the mines. Then he said if we did he would place them under federal control. I laughed at him and told him if he did that we would call every worker in the country, lumbermen, mu- nition workers, miners and all classes of work- ing men. He said ‘Why man, you would not do that! This country is at war!’ I said, ‘Governor, I don’t give a damn what country your coun- try is fighting. I am fighting for the solidarity of labor.” Further on in his Butte, Mont., speech at the ball park, Frank Little denounced our soldiers as “Uncle Sam's uniformed thugs,” and again he referred to them as “Uncle Sam's uniformed scabs.” He denounced the American soldiers as tools of the capitalists. He urged his auditors to rise up and in a great rebellion overthrow the capitalists. He said that the war in which the United and his associates, that what they were inter- ested in was a world-wide revolution and that they were going to tie up the farms and the in- dustries and tte mines in this country in order to bring this revolution about, and then he stated if the mines were taken under federal control “we will make it so damned hot for the government that they won’t be able to send any men to France.” The Little speech at the Butte, Mont., ball park was a sample of speeches being made in Butte at that time in public-places. During the war the |federal government prohibited public meetings of the I. W. W. Butte, Mont., was one of the four places in the United States where the gov- ernment’s orders in this respect were not en- forced. Sedition was constantly preached pub- licly in Butte at that time. The I.,.W. W.’s met in a public hall. They had speakers on the streets. They worked their propaganda openly to hamstring the federal government. Threats were made that the mines would be blown up in order to stop their production. At other points in Montana the I. W, W.’s and reds were ac- tive. At one town they had run up the red flag. The patriotic citizens of Montana reported these affairs to Wheeler. Little’s baseball park speech was reported to him. They insisted that he take action. He refused to do so, The radi- cals on the streets bragged that he was their friend. It was brought out that his law partner was the attorney for many of the men who were fomenting trouble. This was the feeling in Montana, and par- ticularly in Butte, just prior to the hanging of Frank Little. He was hanged because the citizens there felt that they had no protection from the federal authorities in that state against the preaching of treason such as Little had ut- tered at a public meeting-in a ball park, and for which he had not even been called to account by the federal authorities in Montana. ; The statement of the facta set forth in the recent news release of the Republican News bu- reau was not a condonation of mob law and lynching but a condemnation of it, particularly a condemnation of the deplorable conditions | which brought it about, conditions which the citizens of Montana at that time attributed to Burton K. Wheeler's failure to perform his duty as United States district attorney and to stop in a lawful way the seditious activities that were going on in the state at that time. Dill Celebrates | April fifth, just past, was the seventh anni- yersary of America’s entrance into war for the preservation of world civilization. Senator Dill of Washington, was a member of the house of representatives at that time. : He voted against the declaration of war. He voted aaginst the selective draft act. He voted against the army re-organization bill to increase the standing army. In the course of his oppo- sition to the draft act Dill said: “I voted against declaring war and am one of those who will be subject to go, too, because of my age and my not having dependents.” But Dill didn’t go. He neither volunteered nor went under the draft. On the other hand, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., who was married and had dependents, and was not liable to the draft, did go. So did both of his brothers, Kermit and Archie. All the Roose- velt boys were on the fighting front. Theodore and Archie were wounded. Kermit was killed. Dill celebrated the seventh anniversary of America’s entrance into the war by fothering a resolution attempting to besmirch the reputa- tion and neme of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and calling upon the president to “fire” Roosevelt out of the service of the government Need anything more be said? In the Event of Walsh Tf it so transpires that our Democratic friends select Thomas J, Walsh, of Montana as an of- fering to the country as the exponent of the kind of government inquiry that has been going on at Washington to the exclusion of the public busi- ness, as the representative of what hag clearly become disorderly legislative conduct, we fail to see the need of Republicohs walking the floor in apprehension. And Mr. Coolidge, who will in all human probability become the opposing can- didate may rest secure and leave the whole mat- ter to the people of the nation, who will gather. at the polling places in November, to enter the voting booth alone with their God, their con- | science and their trusty lead pencil.

The margin re- celved by bakers over the cost of the flour ranged from 4 cents on an eight-cent loaf in New Orleans to six cents on a ten-cent loaf in Chi- cago. This margin covers operating expenses and cost of other making ingredients. i “The producer received for the flour content in his wheat approxi- mately 1% cents of the retail price of the loaf, whereas from six to Seven and one-half cents on each loaf went to pay the cost of trans- portation, elevator handling, flour milling, baking and retailing. “The elevator’s margin ts the next item of cost in the route from pro- ducer to consumer, averaging about 0.07 of a cent for all cities. The cost of transportation from the local ele- vator to the mill caried from 0.13 of a cent in Kansas City and New Orleans to 0.59 of a cent for the San Francisco loaf. The range is Railroad Ex The most optimistic predictions in regard to Jmprovements in the condi- tion of railroads that were expected to take place during 1923 have been far surpassed by the actual results. Improvements in facilities, new con- struction, new equipment and large |enonomies in operation all made rec- jords that were quite beyond any- thing that had been anticipated when the year opened. _ New track construction alone amounted to nearly 1,200 miles or more than twice the amount In 1922.

There is some tendency for the reta!l mar- gin to vary inversely with the bak- er’s margin the retailer receiving a low margin where the baker's per- centage margin is high, and vice versa, In rebuttal to this bakers charge that the wite margin which they receive is necessary because of *he paid bakers and’ other bigh in the baking business. In re- ply to this, the department of labor shows in a report upon the baking business covering a survey of the elties of Baltimore, New York, Phil- adelphia and Washington that the la- bor costs for bread In the four cit- ies named are as follows: 0.21 of a cent per pound loaf in Baltimore, 0.48 of a cent in Philadelphia, 0,46 of a cent in New York and 0.65 of a cent in Washington. H According to this analysis it is very apparent that the tariff has nothing at all to do with the high cost of bread. By the same process, it 1s easily proved that the tariff has nothing at al to do with the high cost of other food products. A beom to make General Charles G. Dawes the Republican vice.presi- dential nominee has been started. The idea is good on more than one count. General Dawes should make a bang-up vice-president.

The nomination of Gen- eral Dawes would strengthen the Republican ticket, and in the event of a party success in November, the president would have a real asset in the general, assuming that. he would follow the example of Presi- dent Harding and make the vice president a consulting meniber of the cabinet. If‘it is poswible for any man to put life into the vice-presi- dency General Dawes ought to be able to turn the trick. Serious suggestion of a‘ man for the vice-presidential nomination as far ahead of the date of the party convention as this is, may seem to be considerable of a novelty. The departure from ordinary custom may even shock some of the polit!- cians. But as q matter of logic and common oense, the selection of a vice-presidential nominee ought to be considdred quite as carefully as the selection of a presidential nom- inee. It really is monstrous for a party to choose the man for second place on its national ticket, almost |' on the spur of the moment, at the tail end of a long and wearisome convention, and as likely as not, for mere geographical or campaign rea- sons.
