Sticking to Calvin Distinctly an encouraging sign of the times is the enthusiasm with which Republicans have flocked to the state primaries and registered their approval of President Coolidge and de- elared him to be their choice as his own suc- cessor in the presidency. It proves that despite all the eyil prophets and designing soothsayers in political cirtles a very large proportion of the voters have not been induced to stray from the true faith. They are setting their faces against false gods. Of course, it is rank heterodoxy for the popu- lace to reject the tenets of the woozy creed of the political moderhists and cling to the good old faith of the foreiathers, but we feel that it must be acknowledged that they cannot be blam- ed seeing that, though they have put much gold into political fiery fuvn: stoked under the direction of the progressives there has come forth nothing but this political calf of a thing Hiram calls a real god, but which .they are} now refusing to fall down ind worship. In other words, having been fed uy on political hootch that blinded them for a time, hoi polloi have decided to return to straight goods. If the day of the false political prophets in this land is still here, there are encouraging signs which go to prove that its sun is sinking in the west at least. It is apparent that a very large number of the people of the United States, divining that the White House holds a man of great good sense, lofty patriotism, deep courage and a dis- like of things impractical, foolish, experimental subversive, paternal.and not calculated to work for the best interests of the whole people, have decided that it is the part of wisdom to keep him there. Of course, the “progressive” souls will never be able to understand why this is so but being “progressive” explains all inability to compre- hend the obvious and practical. But we shall always maintain that it is a fine and heartening spectacle when a great people manifests a deep love for the antithesis of demagoguery. Why the Tnidlerance The forces and agencies. who stand for the Volstead law, ought not to assume that every person who does not agree with them is whol immoral and a fit subject to be cast into out kness. And yet the outbursts against Dr. icholas Murray Butler, from certain quarters indicates just that degree of intolerance. Dr. Butler in an address recently said: “The national prohibition law cannot be en- forced. “It ought not to have been passed. “No liberal can support it. “It is no more moral or immoral to drink or to refrain from drinking alcoholic liquor than it is to eat or to refrain from eating roast beef or buckwheat cakes. That is Dr. Butler's opinion, He is entitled to hold it if,in his wisdom he believes it to be correct. It is not so unusual that it deserves so much heated condemnation as it has recei h Many persons believe as Dr, Butler believes. The Volstead law far from being a unan ijmous proposition, Of course, so long as it is a law it ought to be observed. But it is not being observed by a large part of the people of this country. All the millions of dollars that are be- ing spent to enforce it have not brought about its univer observa for that rea others besides Dr. Butler thing it unenforceable. And because it is unenforceable it ought not to have been passed, You can’t make people moral by declaring by law t the thing they have been accustomed to do is immoral. Sometime we may get a prohibition law which Will be enforceable. But that time won't be has- tened by intolerance and fanaticism. This Year's Issues »slie M, Shaw, former governor of Iowa, former secretary of the treasury, is one of the learned exponents of the protective tariff in the United States and an authority on muny gov ernmental matt He was recently invited to address the Young Men’s Republican club at Seattle. His address was so admirable that we reproduce a portion of it: The Republican party, national in its thought and purpose, has been the majority most of the time for sixty years, and should be kept in pow er. On the other hand, the nation needs, and alw every purpose, quick to investigate ev and instant to raise its ery at every ¢ vered fault. mld become of us but for the Democ rty, playing its predestined and le?

But millions have suffered unemployment the worst calamity that has yet befallen Ameri- cans, through the incompetency of a great polit- ical party. Unemployment is the most serious calamity, entailing more hardship if prolonged, even than war, that has ever confronted a people. The pay- roll of the United States is greater than that of all the rest of the human family, and we all live from, and thrive upon it, For its preserva- tion the Republican party stands forever pledg- ed. For. its destruction the Democratic party promises to repeat its past performance. Facing conditions as they were, and knowing that agriculture suffers first and longest, and that all business languishes when men walk the streets in vain for work, the administra- tion set itself to correcting economic conditions. First the flood tide of immigration was checked, ther the importation of farm producta, and mer- chandise of a thousand kinds which our people were fully equipped*to produce, was stopped. If five million additional men were to find em- ployment, and be kept employed factories must be enlarged, and new ones built. To that end cap- ital must be relieved from excessive taxation. To accomplish this an international conference for reduction in armament was called, and as a re- sult, instead of spending hundreds of millions each ‘year in a fruitless chase for naval su- premacy, we have scrapped partly constructed war vessels and some conipleted ones, and other nations have done the same. A few years ago, Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state under President Wilson; who had been even then a zealous adherent of all known po- litical parties, asked me what I considered the distinctive difference between the two great par- ties. I promptly replied. “The Republican party fosters industry.” He turned and after gazing out of the window for an impressive moment re- plied. “T think you Wave correctly stated the dis- tinction,“ Let us see. The Repub ture, by grants of land for agricultural colleg the homestead and tree claim laws, the agri- culture department, experiment stations, farm bulletins dikes or rivers to protect farms, great irrigation systems, protective tariffs on agri- cultural products and more than by all other that had enabled the United States to manu- facture more than any other five nations, with the resultant payroll which ia the farmers’ best market. “The department of commerce reports that manufactures represent thirty-eight per cent of their value in food products actually con- sumed.” © The Republican party has fostered mining by permitting pre-emption of mineral land, and by requ g the importer of competing ores and minerals, both crude and refined, to pay into our treasury such portion of what he receives as will | give the American miner an advantage in the American market. reau, with its signals of approaching storms, and finally it fostered the commerce of the world by building an inter-ocean canal. ture, by requiring the importer of all competi- tive products to pay into our treasury an amount at least equal to the excess in wages and other costs, which the American has to pay, thus giving the American an advantage in the Ameri- can market. |' The Republican party has fostered labor, first |and foremost by the protective tariff, then when | this resulted in higher wages in America than elsewhere the Republican party excluded con- tract labor, and later oriental labor. The Demo- | cratic party has never taken issue with these | while it keeps out the oriental laborer, it insists | upon giving the products of oriental labor such an advantage in the American market that it may be imported solely for the revenue. I in- sist it would bt better for the American farmer to let the coolie laborers than the products of coolie labor. At the time the Democratic party won its first victory in a stretch of twenty years, 1912, our farms were producing more than the farms of ny other country on the map. Our mines yieli- 1 gold by train load annually. We were bring- ing from the great northwest iron ore in such quantity that the little left on the soil of Ohio alone exceeded the production of any other na- tion. We were pvinping twice as much petroleum as all the rest of the world, and out of every gallon taken from mother-earth our people con- sumed three quarts and fourteen times as many people, elsewhere in the world, had less. thai one quart, and were satisfied therewith. During these fifty years our people builded practically as many miles of railroad all the rest of the world, which in turn carried our freight for one- third what government owned roads charged for like service. Because of the prompt exchange of our unparalleled payroll for the comforts of life, and the immediate return thereof to labor, our | domestic trade had become five times as large as | the aggregate international trade of creation. Our shops and factories were turning out more, finished products than all the shops and all the factories of Great Britain and France and Ger- many combined, plus five thousand million dol- | lars worth every tweive months, and we were paying to ourselves, and receiving from each | other as much in wages as all of the rest of the | human family. ‘ | I make the broad assertion that not one of the industries, that have contributed to the great- ness of our common country, had its origin in Democratic legislation. Keep ever in mind that | during Mr, Cleveland’s first administration the senate remained Republican and prevented the passage of the Mills tariff bill thus saving us from economic disturbance. More than a hun- jdred times I have offered to give my check for any suggested charity if any man could name a private industry, then in successful operation, from pearl buttons to locomotives, the inception }of which had been made possible by Democratic | legislation. Any well-informed person can read- ily enumerate a score of industries with aggre- gate payrolls reaching into the billions, that can- not survive twelve months of tariff for revenue | only, | Democracy and Depression Democrats, there are some notable tributes to | the statesmanship of Republican leaders. One memorable instance is seen in the record of the treasury department during the early years of the administration of William G, McAdoo, The | Wilson administration came into power in March 11918, largely on an economic issue the concrete form of which was described by the phrase “high cost of living.” The Wilson administration had pledged itself to reduce the cost of, living. This necessarily meant lower cost of production, ac complished by opening our trade gates to for- eigu products.

The working of this featue of our industria! finances is indi- cated by a paragraph in the report of Secretary | McAdoo for 1913 in which he syid: “A special session of congress convened on April 7, 1913, and immediately began to consider the important questions of tarift and currency reform. In the early part of June complaints began to reach the department fron: many parts of the country that credits were being restricted and that it was increasingly difficult to secure funds for the normal needs of legitiniate busi- ness.

Winter, of Wyoming, speaking from the floor of the house, said: In becember, 1906, ® deep-seated humanitarian and patriotic purpose an party has fostered agricul-|in the minds and hearts of the American people produced in con- gress a bill to put jan end to the labor. The progressive and constructive instinct of America spoke in that bill. Ten | years later the best thought of the land crystallized in the passage of a federal child labor law prohibiting the shipment of products of child |labor in interstate or foreign com- merce. The United States supreme court in June, 1918, decided that the power of congress under the Con- stitution to regulate interstate com- merce was not broad enough to in- clude the provisions of the act. In February, 1919, the convictions of our people again found expression in an act which sought by a plan of a tax to prevent violations of certain age and hour standards pro- vided therein. Again, in May, 1922, the supreme court found that the constitutional limitations on the tax- The Republican party has fostered commerce, |'S Power had been exceeded and by dredging rivers and harbors, the weather bu-| the act was unconstitutional, It has become necessary, there- fore, to attain this great and vital end of limiting, regulating, and pro- hibiting child labor to give to the of the Union, speaking through their legislatures, the op- portunity to ratify a constitutional amendment. This joint resolution should pass this house by an over- whelming vote. It should be adopted by ratification of the legislatures of the various states and not by special conventions, for the same reasons that thus have been ratified all the nineteen amendments, No sufficient reasons appear why there should be any change in this procedure. The test of a century and a quarter has put the indelible stamp of approval on this method. It should suffice te say that the Republican and Democratic plat- forms in 1920 advocated a federal child labor law, but the, fact that there has been a nation-wide and persistent demand for this amend- ment is of itself the strongest argu- ment that it is needed. This is no ephemeral, ill-considered, sudden proposition. It has, it is true, had behind it the irresistible power of | eeling, emotion, and sympathy, the heart force of a great enlightened people; but it has at the same time alw it sound, clear-visioned reason’ and statesmanship. Neither the sentl- ment nor the reason can be denied. I am a believer in the evenly theory of government, promulgated by the founders, whereby the reserved rights of the states. shall be jealously guarded against encroachment. The supreme court respected such rights of the states, Though there had been dif- ference of opinion on the ‘constitu tionality of the two measures here- tofore enacted the decisions of that and are accepted ax the true int retation of the or- ganic law, The question now ts not one of constitutionality, but whether there is reason for conferring on the certral government also the right. which has hitherto been re- served to the separate states. It is now proposed to confer that power by the constitutional method. Sub- sequent to the first 10 amendments which were for the purpose of clearly fixing certain safeguards for the individual, based upon the natu- ral, inherent rights of man, nine amendments have been adopted. Some of them have protected fur- ther and ex.ended rights and in- trusted government more and more to the people, such as the suffrage amendments, gand Uy pular elec: tion of senators. Some of them have given the federal governmerit more power, such as the income tax and prohibition amendments, The equilibrium of the governmental structure has been maintained, Our government is so formed that there is the centralizing, centripetal power, corresponding to the sun in the solar system, and there is the ex- panding, centrifugal force, corre- sponding to the earth's tangent- seeking momentum in the planetary system., Thus liko the earth the government is kept in its proper orbit, equally balanced between een- tralization on the one hand and in- dividualism and state rights on the other. The result is orderly Uberty. This proposed amendment recog: nizes and protects this theory: Sec. 1, ‘The congress shall have power to limit, regulate, and pro- hibit the labor of persons under 18 years of age Sec. 2. The power of the several {sy unimpaired by this article, ept that the operation of state laws shall be suspended to the ex- tent necessary to give effect to legis» lation enacted by congress, The states have had the sole right to deal with this question of child congress in spe cial session on April 7, 1913, for the purpose of revising the tariff. That such a revision would mani'est as soon as the votes were counted in Noyve.ber, 1912.

Br at Thus from a high Democfatie authority we have the story of ion coincident with the peovess of tariff reduction and a measure of reassurance given by the announcement that re- course could nnd would be had to the provision of tht Aldrich-Vreeland act, a Republican mea- sure which had been subjected to severe criti- cism by the Democrats. Twice during the Wilson ministration a financial panic was ayerted by resort to this same measure. In the last six months of 1912, under Republi- can administration, the exportation of gold amounted to only $14,000,060, while in the first six months of 1913, four of which were under Democratic regitme, gold exports amounted to $63,800,000, and for the year ending June 30, 1914, exports of gold amounted to $112,000,000. It was a repetition in some measure of the history of financial distress experienced during the low- tariff period of the Cleveland administration.
