Purely Minority In the Iowa primary election of the Republi- can party which resulted in the renomination of Senator Smith Brookhart -something like 25 per cent of the electorate of the state partici- pated. Brookhart was nominated by somcthing like thirteen per cent of this electorate. If the inarticulate majority of American voters, wit- ness within the next few years, a. government by chaos, with foreign influences and un-repub- Jican European theories predominant, it will be very largely their own fault. They have con- sented, to the primary system, and then by re- maining away from the polls they have . con- mented to the use of that system to destroy party responsibility, nullify representative govern: ment and substitute therefor the European sys- tem of government by blocs and cliques» The Republicans of Iowa, if they are misrep- resented by Smith Brookhart in the United States senate, have themselves to blame. If the Republicans of Iowa like him so well why don’t they keep him at home where they ean get his counsel and advice first hand. The Republicans of the remainder of the nation are not enamored of such a blatherskite. He has his influence upon other on that concern peo- le separate and apart from Iowa. : Asai Wine is sibs every time the Republicans of Iowa send such a man to represent them they are encouraging a dangerous brand of radical- ism, they cannot, in any sense, approve. About the best thing Iowa Republicans can do for their country ia to get out and yote the real Republican ticket at both primaries and elec- tions. Too Much Law The trouble in these times is not that there is not law enough, but that there is too much law. Assemble a body of men, elected for the purpose of passing laws and they will go at it with a will. Make it a business. Turn out laws upon every concejyable subject regardless of any de- mand or of public sentiment respecting the sub- ject of the law. Law making has developed int a highly organized industry. It ,would, in fact, be more profitable to the state and nation if the lawmaking machine could be thrown into reverse and the efforts of the law-makers be directed to repealing measures others have passed and clear some of the clutter off the statute books. The country groans under the burden of stat- ute law and every legislative session simply adds to the load. Every conceivable topic under the sun is looked upon as meriting some sort of a stat- ute or other. Th® most trival subjects demand the Zime and consideration of our law-makers and become translated into a law. We are the most marveloug tinkerers in the world and the Americans have 2 childish faith in the efficacy of the law. Not that we are noted for respecting the law, for we are not, but it seems to soothe our self-respect if we legislate along the path of righteousness even if we don’t follow the path ourselves and don’t intend to, Performing His Duty The president has been told that vetoing the bill to increase the salaries; of postal employes will deprive him of anywhere up to a million yotes. He vetoed and unflinchingly stated why he did so. There will be many who will sympathize with the postal employes. Some of the latter profess to be especially offended at these words of the president: “but an organized effort by a great body of public employes to secure an indiscrim- inate increase in compensation ,hould have the most searching scrutiny.” But he said something which needed to be said. This resentment is at first to be expected. We have never known any manager to make himself popular in cutting down expenses right and left, xmong those who experienced the consequent pinch in their own affairs. It is very evident that the president way not influenced by his own neé@ of votes when he vetoed that bill. It also is equally evident that congress has done little for the entire session without regard to votes, That is both a differ. ence and a distinction. Blaming the president Is hardly fair, because congress made no provigion for raising the sixty: eight millions annually that this increase called for. Do they expect to gather figs from thistles? We don’t know just what the “organized effort” referre:l to by president was doing. It should on general principles, be subjected to serutiny It will be difficult to take exceptions to the president's statement: “It is apparent that the matter of increasing the salaries of postal em: ployes should be considered in connection with the ways and means whereby the postal revenues may be correspondingly increased, not apart therefrom.” Coolidge on the Constitution On the oceasion of recent oratorical contests held in Washington President Coolidge sounded a note of warning when he said: “There is no greater obligatio n the community than that of properly educating it's youth of training its future citizens for the duties which in their time they must assume, The world has always con: .card the fundamentals upon which our national ‘ gly d termined minority. of human atta irs by, tearing down everything that-tas thus fer been erected: It seems‘as if well-nigh“every generation in mod-| try some of these:e: eh -ganiza only assurance against their machinations.is to be found in the incul- cation’ among the people of ‘sound ideals of gov- ernment.” \ poe SET ‘ ‘ This (isa fair . cc nt.on the trend df th times‘and-the weakness of human nature/and hu- man society. In American history, every, period has had its discontented factions its, profession- al reformers. The adop' ¥ tution was a battle against those who refased'to profit by experience or to learn from the léssons of history. The struggle to establish and work out.the principles of the constitution was against the strong tide of so-called reform, determined simply to,change “what is.” Olvil government, like life itself is a process of development beginning with fundamentals in- herent in human existence. No princple’has ‘en- dured that is sateen to human welfare. No social or political organization among nien is‘ or eyer can fect but that which endures builds on what is worth while already. Our own ‘federal constitution “was well-ni; wrecked in civil strife, because a minority de-| sired to:destroy what already existed and ‘start something new. This obsession “has ‘not departed: altogether; and even now nota few seek to dis- structure is reared and again expériment® with’ what have hitherto false. « There are minorities or “blocs” in Rear ahem and minorities in sections, filled with discon- tent and imbued with the false notion that con- gress can wave a magic wand, cure all political and economic ills and create wealth by a mere “be it enacted.” In many of the ‘committee rooms: in congress today repose hundreds of bills of- fered*by these minorities, which, if enacted into law, would striké at the very foundation of. our institutions and~ overthrow ‘the financial. and congas principles upon which’ the republis’is built. There never was a greater need of properly educating and training the citizens of the land in the basic principlés of the ‘constitution, th: powers of ‘congress under ‘the constitution and the duties and obligations “of citizenship, than now. i Sound ideals of government: must be in har- mony with sound ideals of human ‘existence, individual liberty consistent with duties and-ob- ligations to others, the commion defense and the general “welfare. Sound ideals “include sound money, sound morals and sound: patriotism. After all,’ whatever ‘success this nation has enjoyed is due to the self restraint and modera- tion of the majority, and the silent yet effective determination of. that’ majority to check the tendency toward destructive and radical-notions. Our public. schools and bigher institutions of learning should teach the simpler ideals, found: ed on conscience, confidence and comman sense. Often it: seems.as'if our modern education was altogether cold. and, scientific,” too far temoved from the human side of life.and too much ab- sorbed in materialism if not’ agnosticism’ and atheism. ‘ tel nate ft Ideals ofgovernment must be saturated with human. interest; ‘self-sacrifice ant personal no- bility. They are not mere theories or scientific formulas,.Citizens are not mere. people to be cat- alogued and classified according to .some . sci- entific dogma. They are the living and throbbing heart of the republic. To them, the, constitution is not a rule of law but a guide to personal con- duct and personal relationship, to each other. Best Possible Ticket “Sometimes political nominating conventions ‘get the bit in their teeth.’ That is what happen: ed at Cleveland,” notes the Boston Transcript: “The delegates made a choice of their own—a choice which no prophet had predicted. By. an éverwhelming vote they nominated Charles G. Dawes for. vice ise ree of the United States, against the leadings of the politicians, . against the warnings of the timid. There was neither locality nor class in this nomination. All sec- tions, all elements save the LaFollette bloc, par- ticipated in it. “By this choice the delegates hve spontan- eously presented to the country a-ticket of the highest grade. They have put before the ple two men who are real, wko’are human, who are keen, sensible and strong, who-are independent and safe, and very able. They are men who are American to the last drop of their blood. No sounder two pieces of American; manhood have ever been put her. They are brave enough to do what ‘they think is right in any and) every situation. Moreover, the things that they. think are right are the causes and purposes it’ the American people have believed in since thelr in- spired representatives formulated the national principles in 1776, They constitute a joint appeal such as has seldom’ been embodied in a presi- dential ticket. “We are told that the Cleveland is a ‘static’ document, which means that it lacks movement and action. This may be true, since such documents, particularly when they are as long.as this one,.raust run rather to weight and balance than to formance, But if the platform ia static, the ticket is amic. It is rich in the suggestion of-action ani progress. In that quggestion, the ticket becomes the plat- form. There could not’be a better. Child’ Labor ‘Amendment Congress has submitted to the states an amend- men to the constitution providing that “congress shall have’ the power to, limit, regulate and: pro- hibit the labor of persons under eighteon years of age.” The chief defect of the proposed amendment is that it sets the age at which labor ceases to be child labor at eighteen. What. would ‘our fathers and forefathers, hayer'thought of that? In the good old American days every live boy of eigh- teen had’ been mixing “work with \play, so ‘suc- cessfully for several years that he had:not only earned a good bit of money, but—what is far more important-—had learned how to. work and how tq appreciate the blessings of ‘work. This age is different..We epend time and money and thought teaching our children-how to play. We build plerbrpunds for them, hire play\in- structors, invent new games, contrive play ap- paratus, The r dears must not work—that would be a) crime.’ The boys, must do no chores about the honge, the girls must not help mother with the housework, They can be children only once, you know!

They were Republicans who bolted the nomina. tion, declared for civil service and other reforms, and be eee Grover Cleveland, Democrat, with all their power. The Mugwumps included many noted literary men and reformers not theretofore particularly active in politics. The name is from the dialect of the Algonquin Indians. Their leaders included General Carl Schurz, editor and former senator, cabinet member and eg George. William Curtis, Rev. Henry rd Beecher, Edward Everett, Theodore Dwight Woolsey, former pres- ident of Yale, and others, who wrote and spoke in the campaign. . ‘When the votes were counted, Blaine and Cleveland, were practically even without New York state, where a difference of about 1,100 votes gaye the victory to Cleveland, a result for which the Mugwumps claimed much credit, What Is Modesty The propriety of the ladies appearing in places of worship with the comeliness of their arms and necks exposed to the -weather and public gaze is a matter for the: ecclesiastics to deal with in such manner as they deem fit. Bishop Baggia, of Brescia Italy, thinks so too, and hus deemed fit to post. warnings in the churches wi: der hig authority that ladies appearing in such nudity will be expelled. But 98 good bishop makes an issue of bare arms and necks not only fromthe standpoint of propriety, but drags in ‘the iavestion of modesty, Which is something else again, : Modesty is such a mutable abstraction one wonders if even a bishop can give it a definition that would last more than twenty-four hours. Trying to reduce it to a mathematical formula governing the exposure of cuticle has been tried before with but indifferent results. Before all the champions of this state of mind called mod esty even can agree on whether or not bare arms affront it the ladies likely as not will be wear ing mutton-leg sleeves and exposing the dimples on. their knees. Thus do they drag the aniseed bag across the trail. They send the moralists yapping after dimples unadorned; and when the = my ENT too close-they lengthen their skirts qeyeneareS upper: dia} a La And so it goes until one. what modesty, ig anyway. At Atlantic City it'is bounded on the north by the lower hem of ‘a bathing suit four inches.above the knee. In Borneo no lady would be received in polite company Who appear- ed in public with’ young thing may’ parade in short; skirts’ and. scanty waist without attracting attention but if.she un- covered her ears she would be talked about and followed by crowds of horrified: citizens. Somebody has said that ete A ‘is. merely a matter of what you are used to. That, probably, is as good a definition as any. The only trouble is, modesty changes 90 quickly we seldom have time to get used to it. The Golden Rule When the Golden’ Rule becomes the law of hu- man life all this.will be changed. The employer will ask how much he can r the worker, not how little. The workman ask:how much he can do, not how little. We-may not be able.to reach this condition, but: the war can be »re- stricted. and its evils: ameliorated..Our people are at heart of a most friendly disposition to- ward workingmen and women. We have our Gradgrinds snobs. aad eae! oe sons of arti; san fathers, our dudes and butterflies, but the mass of the rich, as well as those of only moder- ate means, have a genuine hearty sympathy, and fellowship with the honest sons of toil. The chief trouble is. not want of heart but to hold busy men long enought to hear the tale of wrong and to discriminate it from false appeals for aid. On the other hand, American workmen are as a body, intelligent, spirited and patriotic. They will not bear patronizing, but they are hungry for fraternity. The lodges and chapters greatly outnumbering the churches, express this longing, The. working people, if we give the ‘term its roper scope, are the civil bulk of the nation. Peaevehtug sesveeapeit social order, produc- tion, commerce—is borne up and along by then. They formed the great bulk of the union army. Why cannot they be called comrades. now, as during the war? Why cannot the touch of el- bows. and the cadenced step be had in civil life with all who love our free civil institutions? They are needed. They give strength and secur- ity as well as fellowship.—Benjamin Harrison. Trebles Your Wants Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum, it makes one. If it satisfies one want it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a truce proverb of the wise man, rély upon it: “Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and trouble’ therewith.”—Benjamin Franklin. The Minority Idea Senator LaFollette’s demand that “the will of the people” shall prevail is an hypocrisy and the proof thereof is his determination to sup- plant majority rule with minority rule. Unless one party can poll more votes. the other two (or more) parties combined the .winner of, the election must necessarily represent not “the will of the people” but the will of a minor- ity group of the people. ¢ Lines and Angles By TED OSBORNE ECONOMICAL, is another dressmaker bill sixty Wifie—“Here dollars.” Hubby—“But Mary, I paid one last month for eighty dollars.
