Bryan was not the last, by ‘any means, to raise the dismal wail. It’s a thing that is handed down in the Democ from sire to son. From candidate to didate, from year to year. It is prized among the membership of the Democratic party as a great piece of ammuniti and besides it explains de t afterward rushed by money power. rue to Democratic form William G. McAdoo is the latest lamb about to be devoured by the} wolf. He changes the actual text of the ery but| its meaning is the same. He says “Democratic | reactionaries are conspiring with Republican} capitalists to prevent me from receiving the presidential nomination.” | William’s statement is entitled to no more re- spect than hundreds of other outgivings of the same general tenor that have added gayety to past and gone campaigns. It was old stuff when | it was invented. Never fooled anybody, and so ly knows never gained a vote. It} has long since ceased to be ingenious. Was al-| s politieal piffle. William MeAdoo has made | ploy it way unfitness for the presidency obvious by Go-| ing to the political boneyard for a slogan—*Wall Street is agin me.” The great conspiracy is of course,,a myth. He is flattering himself when he even dreams that | he is of sufficient consequence, to be the object | of deep and dark plotting. So far as Republican capitalists” are concerned, we don't know of | any Republican capitalist or otherwise, who} would not be delighted to have William’s party | make him its standard bearer. It would make the opposition’s work very easy. And his alibi is ready and waiting for him, “Crushed by the! money power.” William is not unused to being | thus crushed, as his ‘friend Doheny once testi-| fied. Speaking of Quitters Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, also men- tioned among the Democratic possibilities for nomination for president before the New York convention, asserted in a Philadelphia speech that “if he were president and his veto of a bonus bill were over-ridden, he would resign.” This country had enough of “quitters” when it was well rid of William G. McAdoo. If a president is under obligations to resign | any time his veto is overridden, then we can} have no stability in government under the sys-| tem established by our constitution, Our form of government specifically gives congress power to pass a bill over the presidential yeto by a two-thirds majority. If the constitution had con- templated that as a sufficient cause for th? res- ignation of a president it would have declared the office vacant upon the passage of a bill in such a manner, Eyery occupant of the presidency has taken an oath to fulfill the duties of the office. Those duties continue even after one or more bills may | he passed over his veto. A man who would quit | in a fit of pettishness because he could not have his own way all the time—because he felt un willing to have constitutional processes observ- ed—bhbecause his egotism set him above a two- thirds vote of congress, would not be a suitable man to place at the b 1 of our government. He could not be safely placed in control of the ad- ministrative branch of any large private busi ness. Every large private business has its board of | «lirectors, Such a board has general control over its administrative officers. Sometimes the be of directors dis: es with the policies of its| chief executive and overrules his decision. It is not the custom for an executive in private enter. | prise to resign just because on one or more mat ters of policy he has been overruled, Broad minded men do not arrogate to themselyes ex clusive possession of wisdom They concede that | a two-thirds majority may be right, and, even| if not right, that in the 1 it is best that a two-| thirds majority be permitted to prevail over one- | The man who won't play the game unless he ean have it played his way all the time has no place in our system of public or private busines | Senator Glass has the consolation ot knowi that he is not the only man of the quitter type | in the United States. There are men of that class in all political parties and all sorts of organi-| zations. They are self-opinionated and stubborn, They e supreme confidence in their own om nipotence and have contempt for the opinions of all others. They refuse to be loyal to any part unless all the rest of the membership of the party will yield to them. But such men count for littl: when it comes achievement. They may fig ure in the h ud serve very effectively in works of obstruction, but they never help to bhild The framers of our constitution knew that such men existed and would continue to exiat » they took the precaution to 1 e that in copgress he may*impose hia veto, y h u | shouts be effective unless the congress, by a two-thirds vote, shall still be of the opinion that its pro- posed legislation is sound. There is no wiser pro- vision in our constitution. The man who is not willing to abide by that provision and con- tinue in the performance of his duties, is un- worthy of a public trust. Could He Be Blamed? If Secretary Mellon were to resign because his tax reduction program has been all gummed up by a hostile congress and his constructive work negatived, cofld he be blamed? ; ‘To merely hold the treasury portfolio and be unable, because of the obstructionist tactics of a hostile congress, to acquit himself after a man- ner of a capable and highly efficient incumbent of thal important post, can haye no attractions for a man capable in a fiduciary way as he is. Secretary Mellon is above the necesstiy —real or imagined—of thinking about the desirability of the $12,000. year he gets as secretary and can therefore, afford to be careless about his tenure of office. In this particular regard he is as un- like the average congressman as in every other desirable characteristic. In that difference lies one of the greatest ills that afflict the country today. Little men, to whom small pay looks big, are the curse of politics. If Mr. Mellon were to resign—which we do not think probable, seeing that he has the qual- ities of a fighter, and a patriot—his act would but re-emphasize how perfectly impossible it is for any sane business man to work in harmony with the majority in the present congress. But is it necessary that greater emphasis be given to the incompetence and partisan bone- headedness of the congress that has already been made manifest by its flouting of practically all sane public measures and its open and -un- abashed defiance of the program of sanity and common sense proclaimed by President Cool- idge? R The public understands. It already knows all that it needs to know about congress. In time it will put that knowledge to good use. In the meantime we trust that Secretary Mel- }lon will restrain stoutly any impulse that he may have —through disgust—to quit the post he fills with such signal and conspicuous ability. y Parliamentary Insanity We may believe we have a helluva congress on our hands, and our impressions may not be far wrong. but there are others that may be worse. Parliaments are running amuck elsewhere and in some places they make our performers re- semble pikers, Over in central Europe it is called a disease and named parliamentary insanity. It had its origin in the German Reichstag and seems to be epidemic throughout central and eastern Europe. Scenes rivaling those in Berlin haye occurred in the Czechoslovak and Jugo- slay parliaments, In Prague, the German deputy, Hahnreich made contemptuous remarks regarding Czech treachery in the World War and was promptly delivered to the courts. Whereupon the German deputies broke out with screams and yells of protest, and when the president of the chamber rebuked them for “behaving like wild animals,” the Germans stormed the governmental benches, hurling books, inskstands and paper pads at the minister of justice, who was forced to leave the chamber. The president was unable to restore order, In Belgrade, where the Croation deputies, fin- ally sworn in, gave the opposition a majority, Premier Pachich read the king’s ukase adjourn- ing parliament. When he left the room, opposi- tion deputies took the floor and protested against “the travesty of justice, seeking to maintain the present government by a trick,” and prompt- ly reassembled parliament taking up business despite the royal ukase. When the Pachich party learned the deputies were sitting, it hurried back to the session and interrupted it with deafening and whistling, which, after, an hour, fore- ed adjournment. On thi» side we may not have developed the violent symptoms noted in European cases, but the disease is equally malignant and dangerous. Please Remit Since the passage of the bonus bill a measure has been introduced in the house to compel France to pay its war debt to the United States of some $4,000,000,000. The author of the bill had the right idea in mind but was somewhat too drastic in his methods. The United States will never “compel” any of the nations indebted to it to.pay up, but the need for money just now is acute. The bonus will reqtire close to $3,000,000,- 000 before the treasury has completed the con- tract with the veterans, and our taxpayers d not take kindly to seeing their money used for foreign governments for soldier relief while there is so much need of it for a similar purpose at home. The debt refunding commission has Sec- retary of the Treasury Mellon as one of its mem- bers. He can be relied upon to keep the commis- sion informed of the situation, and undoubtedly every proper means will be resorted to to induce debtor governments to repay what they owe. ‘Taxes and Money If Henry Ford were to double the price of his car he wouldn’t make as much real money as he is getting now. The people would buy some other car, or, if they could get no other, they would go without. Along the same line of reasoning, it is clearly seen that by placing an exorbitant tax upon large incomes, the government inspires every possible form of evasion and then furnishes the easiest method itself by authorizing the sale of ipt securities, ‘y time the government has advanced the tax on large incomes, the volume of money gath- ered from that source has shrunk. There would be more money in the national treasury and more business and activity for com merce and industry if every dollar was out at work in some industrial enterprise earning a modest tax upon itself, Likewise it would be better for the taxpayer if the issuance and sale xempt securities by cities, states, school boards and civie commis: sions were made less simple and popu Principally Piffle A magazine that aspires to be known nation ally has made itself ridiculous by publishing an article by a professor of economies at a school f ris in which the assertion is made that “Mr. Mellon knows naught of economics.” It is difficult to determine which is the greater fool, the man who wrote the article or the editor who accested it. When this government ceases to put men of the Mellon type in control of finance and begins to follow the leadership of professors of ‘ mics “at schools for girls, we shall be on the e of learning some leskons—one of avhich will be that experience is a dear teacher, Election Contests A new procedure for deciding contested elec- tions of members of the house of representatives is suggested by Congressman Dallinger, in a bill which provides that whenever any person in- tends to contest an election of any member of the house, he shall within thirty days after the result of the election has been determined by the authorized board of canvassers, file an ap- plication, with the Court ofeAppeals of the dis- trict of Columbia to determine the question of his right to such seat pending the final, de- cision of the contest by the house. It is made mandatory upon the contestant to file with the clerk of the Court of Appeals a brief showing the grounds upon which he bases his contest and also to send a copy of this brief to the member whose seat he is contesting. A returned member with whom a copy of con- testant's position is filed would be required to file with the clerk of the court an answer, ad- mitting or dettying the facts alleged and enum- erating any other grounds upon which he places the validity of his election. The court would be authorized to prepare and establish such rules and regulations with refer- ence to he taking of testimony, ete., as it may consider necessary, and these would have the fotce of law. The findine of this court would not be sub- ject to judicial review or appeal, but nothing in the bill “shall be construed as intended to re- strict or in any way impair the right of the houre to judge ofthe elections, returns and qual- ifications of its members.” The Most Joyful Work Editor Tribune—My idea of leaven and hell is quite different. from that of the orthodox churchman, or rather, I should say, from the idea as taught in the orthodox churches, We do not wait for the change called death to fly away to a far off heaven, or to be thrown bodily, as it were, into the burning pit of hell. No! Heaven, or hell, is a “state” or “condition.” We live day by day in a heaven or a hell of our own creation, We are living in heaven to the de- gree that we devote our lives to service and are striving to bring about a recognition of the “Brotherhood of Man.” We are living in hell to the degree that we permit our baser passions to control, to the extent that we partake in or acquiesce in graft or corruption in any form. Thought the great creative force, and by the right use of thought we can build for our- selves a heaven whose glories are only limited by our ability to conceive; or we can by thoughts of hell and hellish things create for ourselves a hell as real as the other fellow has created for himself a heaven, But as lang as there is a single impulse for good in a human heart man may raise himself from hell to heaven and by “Living the Life” become “One” with the father in heaven, When we lay aside this mortal vesture at death we do not change; we are still the same ego, and in heaven or hell as the case may be; but this hell is not eternal, for as long as that one impulse for good remains, as long as one thought of love finds lodgment in the heart (or soul), that soul will eventually break the bonds of hell, for God is love, and love is God, and the gates of hell can not perveil against it. And it matters not one iota whether we are on this side or the other side of the river called death. The most joyful work that mortals ean perform is loving service to his fellow man; and the greatest joy of heaven, to me, I fancy, will he to act as a ministering spirit to those struggling in a darkness deeper than my own. F. L. MARTIN, Casper, Wyo. Disloyalty to Party In a recent address, President Coolidge said: “History shows that there must be party or- ganization if government is to be conducted upon the lines laid down by the constitution. I don’t know if anything that has represented the real ideals of America any better than party loyalty, either on one side or the other. Men of the type of Lincoln and Grant, no less than the type of Cleveland and Wilson, have been loyal to their party and desiyed to have party support and party government for the purpose of giving an efficient administration.” The growing tendency of what is called inde- pendence in politics is a bad sign. Instead of building, it destroys; instead of promoting it retards. To say that the great issues of the day “transcend political parties” is to admit the in:- potency of government and the failure of a rep- resentative republic. The greater the issues, the greater the necessity of political parties, It is the only method of co-ordinating and vitalizing any great issue. It is the way togive expression to public thought and to translate that thought into action, To plead “neutrality” and “non-partisanship” is to occupy a wholly false position, to invite political and governmental disorganization, It is-the weapon of those unable to comprehend the genius of American institutions unwilling to perform their civic duties and unworthy of any great trust. If there ever was a time when political par- ies were needed, it is now. Partisanship is the only pathway to social unity and national safe- ty. A man or woman without a party is like & man or woman without a country, A neutral is not only negatively useless, but positively dangerous. The men and women who have built America have recognized the necessity of polit- ival parties and avted through them. While it is true that a poltical party has no charter rights and no vonst:tutional authority, itis equally true that the'civil obligations of the citizen to his conntry can be exercised more ef- fectually through a political ty. Such an y ; m is for the public good and the gen are, : Political parties must represent great prin- ciples, elxe they are built upon the sand.

Party organization must and will continue.” a. party It will bring good or evil in proportion to the intelligent and unselfish interest the voters themselves show in the great task of self-govern- ment. So-called “non-partisanship” is a snare and a delusion and will result in evil days and national decay. - A “non-partisan” is a “non-American,” and a “non-American” is an undesirable citizen. Amer- ica will wax strong under intelligent and broad partisanship and loyalty to party, or grow an- emic under flabby “non-partisanship.”—Wilson Edwards. 4 Calvin Coolidge Sane he stands, despite the slander; Sane he stands despite the rot Vended by each red outlander Who would cool the melting-pot.

Thus, an unfortunate phrase or an apt characterization or nickname may haye astonish- ing influence on election results. ’ When General Benjamin Harrison was nomi- nated by the Republicans of Indiana for gov- ernor in 1876, he had a fine reputation as a lawyer and soldier. His Democratic opponent, J. D. Williams, appeared at a public gathering largely attended by farmers during the cam- paign, and he wore a pair of blue-jeans working trousers. His supporters pointed out that as a real farmer he dressed thus, while Harrison, as a “gentleman,” wore only broadcloth and fi lmen. Williams, who was immediately dubbed “Blue Jeans,” was elected, but Harrison was sent to the United States senate five years Jat- er and then became president. - The Populist party sprang into sudden im- portance in the 1900 campaign when it swept Kansas and Nebraska, casting a million votes for president. In the former state an important figure was Jeremiah Simpson, elected to congress in a strong Republican district. He called his opponent a “silk stocking,” and declared he was too poor to wear hose at all. He remained “Sock- less Jerry Simpson” in the public mind and print to the day of his death. Liquidating War Property Property in the hands of the Alien Property custodian is being liquidated as fast as opportu: nity offers. President Coolidge recently author: ized the sale by that official of a large blockof oil stock owned by aliens and the investment of the proceeds in United States government bonds. ‘There is no reason in the world why this govern- ment should not have the use of that moncy pending the time when the alien property ac- counts are finally settled. There will be no loss to the owners by the conversion into governmerit rities, which yery likely will advance in price before the time comes for a settlement. Lines and Angles By TED OSBORNE.
