The greater the degree to which there is realization that the people own the United States in the sense that they have a widely diffused and direct finan- cial interest in its business undertakings, the greater will be the safeguards against pernicious action in the framing of the laws governing com- mercial and industrial activity. Banks and in- surance companies which engage in campaigns of publicity to show their depositors and policy holders how their money is invested are to be commended, The lesson is one that cazns' be too forcefully impressed upon the public mind. It is fair to state that here ia work which is making progress, but there is ropm for exten- sion of organized effort to get the’ picture in all its details before the eye of the public. How often does the passenger in the railroad car or the man at the telephone, think of the railroad or the telephone company as, after all, an organiza tion of wh great numbers of people like him self are, either directly or indirectly, the pro- prietors? How are the facts to be brought home to him? For one thing, the men behind these cam- paigns of education should bear in mind that an| appeal to the love of the romantic always gets attention. It is not enough ‘to tell how many} millions of dollars have been invested in this| or that eat. enterprise. Figures in great to-| tals make appeal to the imagination, but there} are stories of fascinating interest back of the} ures. The winning of the west was made pos- sible by the savings of the east. Today, the savings of the clerk in a Boston} store, deposited in a savings bank, may properly be counted, perhaps, as his little contribution to the rying out of an undertaking in which s have altered the face of nature. De ption of the wonders they are achieving, | linked up with the fact that he is one of the owners, might do much to inspire him with a disposition to demand that this enterprise, what ever iti might be, get a square deal. i Nothing to It Bit by bit the subtle political strategy of the} LaFollettes and the third partyites is being un folded to public view. Rashness and premature ure attempted. It is a me of watchful waiting that is to be played. The pol ieies around which the heart ts of the peo- ple are later to rally are not to be framed un-| til mal and domestic treason have done their worst in the national conventions of the two great parties. The plan is to go first of all to the Republican national convention’ with a set of demands and principles which the band of twen- ty-nitfe delegates from Wisconsin know in ad- vance will be spurned. Then the gallant Wiscon- sinites will remove the Cleveland dust from their shoes, journey hence and go into a cam- pa of their own on the very platform which the yublican platform builders have rejected. Specimen planks to be offered at Cleveland iderately been allowed to come to pub: . One of them is to consint of a 11 Republican confession of corruption, in with the oil scandals and other with a solemn promise to drive out the} great number of scoundrels who sill unhappily infest the party. Another plank would be a sort of denunciation of the course of Republican ad ministrations in tying themselves up with un-| scrupulous oppressors of the poor. Then the next | step in tactics would be to leave the convention} hall, bearing these and other symbols of Repub-| lican wickedness and to mass all the rejected and discontented into a sort of grand army of | discord. Not large, nor with an appeal other than to the discontented. This is the LaFollette program, It has been tried before and never | got anywhere and it will be tried again with a} similar result It is a pretty scheme, but seems a bit too sen timental. Americans have not been noted for ar impulsive readiness to take to their hearts men whose chjef title to affection is that they have been scorned by those to whom they originally love. not to be ction Want the Right The president appears to be. the sort of an ex- ecutive who calmly and withou firmness and lfastness adheres to his prin- ciples. Tt concerns him, least of all, as to what the political effects will be, 10 long as he is certain that he is pursuing the right. And as it happens, that is the very kind of a president the | American people diuire and are willing to tie te Whil ' el men will 1 Among service | the eto, probably the ma will most jority thinking citizer While the Pacific coast is hot for immediate execlusion, most th nking citizens can see why Japan should be treated with due concideration, wnong t 1 . prove—a rancor, but with |} Sab cone Tans IF cat eanneeee Lett And eager as the American people are for tax. | reduction, they want a sensible and business- like plan, rather than one devised of, for and by politicians. They would hold the Democratic- Radical coalition responsible for the delay, and through their endorsement of Mr. Coolidge give congress a mandate to reduce taxes fairly and with due regard to the effects on commerce and industry. If this is a reasonable prognosis, the efforts of the politicians and trimmers to “put the presi- dent in a hole” will react apon their own proj- ects of self-adyancement, . The Ones ‘Attacked When the LaFollettes and Brookharts attack the railroad as a popular means of attracting votes to continue them in office, just what docs it means to the general public? Simply this: The interstate commerce commission is authority for the statement that there are 777,132 railroad stockholders with an ayerage holding of less than one hundred shares each. There are over 1,000,000 bondholders ranging from $100 upward. Now consider this fact: Insurance companies and savings banks are in particular large hold- ers of railroad securities. There are 21,414.085 savings bank depositors, 17,663,000 life insur- ance policies in force, as well as additional mil- lions of industrial and accident policies. These stockholders and bondholders, depositors and policy holders are the people who bear the bur- den of attacks directed against the railroads by "| political demagogues. It’s a thought, startling enough to arouse each’ one of us. A : . ‘American Thrift According to the Mechanics and Metals Nat- ional Bank of New York, the American nation earns $200,000,000 every day and saves in excess of $30,000,000 every day. Savings approximate one sixth of national income. Total income for 1923 was placed at $70,000,000,000, representing an increase of $5,000,000,000 and $10,000,000,000 respectively over 1922 and 1921, Annual increase in America’s payroll, if record of last three years is any criterion, is $3,000,000,000 a year. Total savings for 1923 were $12,000,000,0000 of which $9,000,000,000 went into automobiles, buildings and r s and $2,500,000,000 went into railroad additions, power plants and public utilities. Au- tomobile, according to this calculation, is a form of thrift, and buyer of an automobile is actu- ally accumulating wealth. Without inquiring into the absolute accuracy of these figures, it may be said that they repre- sent substantially, not only the huge stake which the plain people have in the business of the coun- try, but that they indicate, further. that not- withstanding the waste and extravagance which are properly deplored, the nation is much more thrifty than some people would have us be- lieve. A Call to Duty A writer in the Boston-Transcript sounds a note of warning that well may be heeded. the country over. While it is true that Mr. Coolidge will be nominated on the first’ballot at the Cleve- land convention and his election may look cer- tain, there is no certainty in a political contest anymore than there is certainty in a horse race, The writer talks: good political sense and his words sound a fine call to duty. It reads: “The self-assurance of the rank and file of the Republican party,“ that whether we yote or not” President Coolidge will be elected to succeed himself is as fatuous and short-sighted as the proposition now yocal in the land of “No more war!” “The one will bring sure defeat and as unfor- tunate awakening in the domestic political field as the other will weaken and expose us in inter- national diplomacy. “Like Ger which never knew when she was whipped, many Republicans today with ill- judged appraisals do not seem to realize that only by united and determined action at the polls of every intelligent man and woman of the land, | can we today be hopeful, that there is enough |common sense left in our country to check the ominous tide of radicalism, which is swelling and threatening our land and its cherished in- stitution. “Propaganda ig not confined to international matters, nor does it depend as formerly upon radical publications in newspapers, but its field of contact has been vastly increased by broad- casting, cinema or movies, the most potent means of propaganda, because it is frequented by peo- ple too frivolous to read newspapers and study politics and because it lends itself to insiduous methods. “The danger of a sudilen change to Bryanism and the silver craze was at its worst not to be compared to the present threatening situation in congress and country; of a sudden oyertufning of x whole system of beliefs and government. upon a theory, ursupported by basis of facts; and this result if it should occur, will be pro- moted by the cock-sureness of those in the Re- publican party who acting upon the theory of President Coolidge’g election if nominated, be- ing ‘dead sure,’ and who neglect to cast their ballot upon this hypothesis or upon any ground. ‘ormer outbursts of, social unrest were spor: adic and ineffective because they had not per- manent organization, It is tho accepted theory of revolution, that it never requires more than a small minority to become effective; a large or- ganization is inherently conservative, “The self-assurance of many of the Republi- cans today is perhaps as menacing as any other condition and it is only the part of wisdom to | realize that a great political battle is now upon us, whose issues are of transcendent importance to every fireside in the land.” A Useful By-Product Tt is well known that the principal source of asphalt used jp road construction is as a mere by-product of crude ofl. The expansion of -the good roads movement is best shown by the report of the American As- phalt association that in 1910, 18,800,000 square yards of asphaltic pavement was Inid, while in the figure reached 108,000,000 square yards Asphaltic types of pavement in 1923, on all classes of highways and streets made the as- tonishing gain of twenty per cent over 1922 con. struction. Paving consumes more asphalt than does any other industry, Roofing in recent years has be- come a close second, The rapid growth of these industries has necessitated a marked increase in production United States geological survey shows the growth of the asphalt industry from about 400, 000 tons in 1910 to nea 500,000 tons in 1 while the estimated consumption for 1923 close to 3,000,000 tons, ~~~ is ¢ One thousand women will attend the Cleveland convention, 850 to 400 of whom will be delegates and alter- nates, according to an estimate made by Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, vice chairman of the National Republican Committee. Ninety-three women delegates with full voting powers have already ben listed at National Republican headquarters and there are ten states that as yet have not sent in their reports. In addition, there will be roughly, about 250 wo- men alternate delegates, o Tho associate members of the Na- tional Republic: committee, mem- bers of the Women’s *«iional Repub- ican Executive Com:.ittee and other prominent wome: will also attend the convention. Among them will be Mrs. Charles Summer Bird of Massachusetts; Mrs. Medill McCor- mick of Illinois; Mrs. Corinne Roose- velt Robinson and Mrs. Charles H. Sabin of New York, and Mrs. Bryant B. Brooxs of Wyoming. Women legislators are to have a prominent part in the convention. Mrs. Nettie M. Clapp of Cleveland is chairman of the women’s advisory committee for Cleveland, which ts arranging for the entertainment of the women dele- gates and yisitors. A meeting of the National Republi- can Committee is scheduled for June 4, preceding the convention. Among the prominent women who will not be delegates but will have an im- mense influence with the delegates are Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt of Wash- ington; Mrs. Bessie Parker Bruegge- man of St. Louis; Miss Sarah Schuy- ler Butler of New York, Miss Betsey Edwards, the woman manager of the Coolidge forces and Miss Marion Parkhurst of New York. Blaborate arrangements are being made for the eniertainment of the women. The auditortum in which the delegates will be seated is a new structure housing 14,000 people. The seats are all comfortable and the stage can be seen from eyery seat, There are no posts or pillars, Open- ing off the auditorium are a number of rooms for committees. The assist- ant sergeants at arms will come from various states and the ushers will all be from Cleveland. There will be wo- men in both groups. Steamers have been arranged to take the delegates sailing on Lake Erie. There will be special perfor- mances in two of the theaters and residents of Cleveland are furnishing automobiles to take the Visitors sight- seing. The national headquarters for worhen ‘will be with the men’s headquarters in the new Federal Re. serve Bank, which has just been com pleted and which Is as yet unoceup!- ed and was offered for headquarter: for ‘national, state and local com- mittees. This bank ts but two blocks from the auditorlum where the con- vention sessions will take place. At the women’s headquarters will be Mrs. Leonard G. Woods of Pitts- burg, second vice chairman of the National Republican committee, and Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, vice chairman of the National Republican Executlve Committee. Beginning with Saturday after- noon, June 7th, preceding the con- vention, @ convention tea will be ser- ved each afternoon at the Hollenden Hotel with Mrs. Woods as hostess. Ghe Casper Daily Cribune Women ai the Republican Convention On the evening of June 7, members of the National Committee will be entertained by the Cleveland com- mittee. Among the speakers will be Mrs. Woods, Mrs. Corinne Roosevelt Robinson and Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton. Women will in all probability make the nominating and seconding speeches for the candidates. Among the youngest delegates will be Miss! I wish we could get the United States senate, with the present in- vestigating committees in the front row, to give up just one short 30 minutes of their valuable time, and devote that time to a slow, careful and thoughtful reading of one of Kipling’s most remarkable poems— “Tomlinson,” There are in that poem so many direct comparisons, so many re- markable similes, so many things #0 very, very much like what the senate is doing today with its whole- sale investigations, that I believe it Would come closer than anything else that I know of to stemming this tide of “investigations” via the gossip route. This character of Kipling's whose name was Tomlinson, died and went to heaven's gate, and there St. Peter met him, to give him his examination, and asked him to stand and tell what he had actually DONE while on earth. ; And Tomlinson’s answer came: “This I have read in a book,” he Samuel Adams, Failure BY ELDEN SMALL More than any other Individual, doubtless, Samuel Adams was re- sponsible for the Revolution and sub- sequent achievement of independ- ence by the colonies, now the Unit- ed States. He was a_ powerful writer and an adroit politician, and he used every talent he possessed for several years to bring about the break with England. Broad plans and details he worked out and put ito effect so deftly as to practl- cally remain himself in the back- ground and give the “spotlight” to. somebod, He controlled town meetings and legislative assemblies, his political writings shaped poll- cles and history, he selected other and proper men for the most im- portant positions. Yet. he was, in his own affairs, a complete failure. He did not know until he was 42, after he had failed in all his business ventures, that he possessed power as a writer and politician. After peace and freedom came to the colonies, Adams failed as a constructive statesman as completely as he had in business, Yet there was no more potent factor in bringing about that freedom. Strangely enough, too, while he was a religionist of Puritanio strictness, his political achemiwg often became trickery if not arrant misreprésenta- tion. and U: S .Senate Dora M., Sisney of Tucumcari, New Mexico. Mrs. William Lowell Putnam of Boston, president of the Coolidge Club of America, ‘s an alternate at large for Massachusetts. ,Many wo- tien who have been at the heads of Coolidge clubs and Coolidge cam- paign committees in various states |* will be delegates to the convention. Fort Madison, Iowa, associate chairman of the Coolidge Committee for Iowa, ig one of Iowa's delegates at large. ‘said, “and that was told to me, and this I have thought that another man thought of a prince in Mus- covy.”” “Oh, this I have felt, and this I have guessed, and this I have heard men say, and this they wrote that another man wrote of a Carl in Norroway.”* “And this I have heard,” quoth Tomlinson, “and this was nolsed abroad, and this I ha’ got from a Belgian book, on the werd of a dead French lord.” And so on, went Tomlinson’s story of the things he had done. See the point? Repeated, thrashed, hearsay gos- sip that has gone from Ip to lip and back again; things that dead men who can't rise up and speak for themselves are alleged to have told; with all the innumerable op- portunities and possibilities for de- rangement by reason of human memory, human frailty, human tendencies to forget,, to exaggerate, to transpose, to substitute, to He— all these things are being permitted to find Usteners in official position, and to go into the public press, blackening thé names of men, and casting shadows over reputations that can never be erased. And all this is happening in official Wash- ington, at the capital seat of the greatest nation the world has known; one that since the day of its inception has guaranteed to every man equal rights, trial by jury, the privilege of facing ‘his accusers and the recourse of the courts in de- fending himeelf against defamation of character, I am not interested in the guilt or Innocence of any particular man who has been drawn into this con- troversy. I, am interested in a square deal for every man vfho claims this flag as his foundation of freedom. And the “evidence” that has gone before the commit- tees at Washington, and into the public print, destroying man after man without trial by jury, compares most favorably with the evidence that Eipling's Tomlinson gave be- fore heaven's gate. IT know not what the law of tm- munity is covering those testifying before governmental committees, but I trust it is possible to make every human who testifies before these committees prove the things they have sald, or else learn in some unforgettable manner that men's reputations are still things of value in this country, and not to be destroyed wantonly’ and with impunity. Read What This Famous Scientist Says about Coffee Professor SAMUEL C. PRESCOTT, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, after threeyears’ scientific research, says Coffee gives comfort and inspira- tion andis the servant of civilization “It may be stated that after weighing the evidence, a dispassionate evaluation of the data so compre- hensively surveyed has led to no alarming conclu. sions that Coffee is an injurious beverage for the great majority of adults, but, on the contrary, that the history of human experience, as well as the results of scientific experimentation, point to the fact that Coffee is a beverage which, properly prepared and rightly used, gives comfort and in- spiration, augments mental and physical activity, and may be regarded as the servant rather than the destroyer of This statement, coming from such an unquestioned scientific authority, will be a source of satisfaction and relief to every true lover of Coffee and estab- lishes the fact that Coffee is a wholesome drink for civilization.” the overwhelming majority of adults, For Better.
