In time of peace we pay no attention to these traitors and a emies, but permit them to perform their dastaré - ly work without hindrance. A traitor is a trait- or at any time and under any circumstance. He cannot be trusted in either time of peace or time of war. The only reason peace time traitors are not hung, is likely because of the inroads it would make upon the voting population of the country. It would reduce the census of the ‘na- jon by half. . oiewe peace time traitors and enemies of their country are those who oppose its best interests at the ballot box. And those who render aid and comfort to these enemies are the ones who fail to discharge their duty as citizens by not exercising the rights conferred upon them by law and vot- ing at every election. ‘ The man or woman who fails to take his place at the ballot box and in the primaries, caucuses or conventions of one of #he parties and by his action repudiates and drives from power any control of government by undesirable persons or interests, is an enemy to hig country, ‘because he has failed her in an hour of need when the interests of government and society were in jeopardy. He is as guilty of treason as the man who shoots at the flag. The only difference is, one is guilty of treason by omission and the oth- er guilty of treason by commission. There are many estimable men and women who will resent being classified with traitors of any kind or degree. It is easy for these to re moves the stigma by simply doing their duty as citizens, By participating in the affairs of the party of their choice, selecting the best possible candidates for office, obtainable, and by sup- porting them at the election. nnn n ene ———- $780 So long as they neglect or’ refuse to perform | these simple duties of citizenship they must rest under the odium of disloyalty to their country. Pe ere Beware Overconfidence Simply because Mr. Coolidge was practically handed the nomination upon a silyer platter by the admiring Republicans of the nation is. no sign the election will come to him in the same manner. Many a splendid candidate has gone down to defeat because his army of supporters were over-confident and deemed it unnecessary and superfluous to do the things that would in- sure his triumph. ° Even if the Democrats fail to nominate a man for the office who does not measure up to Mr. Coolidge in character, firmness in wisdom and popularity, is no excuse for holding back upon any and every effort that will contribute to his success. Even if we believe that the LaYollette effort, now under way, will result in no danger to our candidate, it is no reason why we should not guard every approach to our camp to ayoid sur- prise and possible danger. There is no end to the work we can do and vigilance we can exercise for the cause we be. lieve in. We have in rather unanimous fashion inyited Mr. Coolidge to be our candidate and party lead- er in matters in which we profess strong belief. Our one further duty is to make his election def- certain by our work and our devotion. Tt is unfair to ask him to lead us and then not be led, and not carry out our part of the compact made when we nominated him. This overconfidence stuff is tricky stuff. Don’t fool with it. Avoid it by pushing forward into the collar and doing the real things that bring certainty. No Longer a Curiosity Have bobbed-hair girls made good in business? “Yes,” is the opinion expressed by employera generally. The distraction she caused when she first introduced the style has worn off, and nhe has long since been accepted os she now ik. Many employers seem to prefer the bobbed hair applicant. They say she arrives on time and gets over a day’s work with less fuss than f merly, and aside from an sional request for an extra hour or so in order to get her hair curled, or wayed,’or something, she causes no disturbance to business. She is altogether an im provement on the girl of some years: back who wore rats and chewed gum. She is neat and trim and snappy and receives the public in clever style and the public is obviously attracted to her, All the talk about a bobbed head having no brains in it is the veriest bosh. . The long haired girl is now the back num- ber. She causes more wonder in business places adays than the bobbed haired girl did when made her first appearance at the office leay- ber tresses at the barBer shop or at home. 1 know, it is largely a matter of becoming omed to things. In the first place we allow our prejudices for or against a style or mode rule us, without really inquiring into the mer its of the thing. We all held up our hands in holy horror at the shortness of some other things i brief while back, and then when bobbed hair came the rage, we were just about finished. We have survived and grown rather to admire the shortness of everything affected: by the. female of the species. 3 If there are other thrills to come we are as keen to remain on earth and await their arrival as we once were to get off the earth and avoid the coming of the vanguard. Your: Vacation. The season of vacations and outings ap- proaches. These if indulged for beneficial re- sults, mentally and physically, mean rest, recre- ation and exercise. They do not imply long jour- neys by rail, boat, or motor car along tlie beaten paths with the mob. For by this means vacations and outings are made miore of work than of play. And besides’ what is there to contemplate or learn by fushing through the country -by rail or motor stopping only for feed, gas and water? Boy Scout or Girl Scout upon the art of getting the most, out of an outing. They do it, they know how to do it. They can point out to you on foot more about the wonders of nature in a very limited area, then you will ever learn traveling hundred of miley by motor car. The things will be worth while too. , You don’t have to go to Europe or any dis- tant part of the country to enjoy an outing. All that is needed is time and inclination to spend your vacation at home. There is a lot to learn all about you. Safe For Democracy The powers of New York City, which means of course, Tammany, announee to the country that no effort will be spared by-the police to make the city safe for Democracy on its visit to those precincts next week. s It is a kindly precaution and one that ought to be appreciated by the visiting delegates. But why all this elaborate care on account of stran- gers? . Those powers who lie in wait and prey, such as pickpockets, bunko artists, dealers in. various varieties of gold bricks and other supposedly metropolitan products, have better pickings at home every day in the year than can be found in the hosts of roundtrippers who attend the convention. The visitors may well resent the imputation made by this movement to guard them and their possessions, that they, are easy marks,. green, and unwise to the ways of the world. Possibly most of them have read in the papers of the easy marks found every day in the convention city who are relieved of all kinds of valuable proper- ty and money by persons whom they have met and employed not earlier than twenty-four hours before. The visitors are entitled to wonder why this temporary protection applied to transients for a week, is not applied to the home folks the year round? There seems to be more necessity for it. Looting native New Yorkers is a well defined business, engaged in by experts. Grabbing off a dollar or two or a return ticket to Buttermilk | Bend from‘a stranger is small business engaged in only by amateurs. We trust everything will be done to make the old town safe for Democracy even to insurance against Tammany itself. The Gall of Wisconsin By its rejection of the proposals of all the planks submitted by the LaFollette faction, the Cleveland convention acted in the interests of sound government even if it brings about a third party candidate. The Wisconsin and North Da- kota delegates took no part in the proceedings and it is intimated that those whom they repre- sented will ‘take no part in the Republican cam- paign. It is clear that they were determined to force the issue, and also that nothing Jess than complete surrender to LaFollette would have kept his followers in line. And surrender was, of course, out of the question. Many of the de- mands of these men were utterly unacceptable, not only to the convention that rejected them, but to the great mags of the American people. The question presented was really whether this government should be practically made over—on the Wisconsin model. The Republicans refused to be a party to any such enterprise, and it is to be hoped that the Democratic convention will take the same stand. It is time to get back to the old traditions and to uphold the old principles, which are none the less sound betause old Farmer Corntassel One of the prime jokes of the present political season which is approaching a climax in New York City, is advancing Governor Al Smith as an agrarian candidate before the Democratic convention. Think of it. Al Smith with his East Side heritage. The idol of the mob of densest ignorance. Who represents just what this cos- mopolitan city and population stand for. A man of more and greater limitations than any candi- date mentioned in the great convention. A man who even favors the restoration of ‘a curse upon humanity, To pose him as a friend of farmers, or as a person in any sense understanding their prob- lems or sympathizing with their ambitions and ideals is no less than an insult to the inteélli- gence of farmers. - Yet, New York City, of all places in the land, is doing this very thing, and doing it seriously. How the delegates from the farming sections of the country will receive this presentation in their behalf remains to be determined. A man, born, reared and residing all his life in an environment of concrete, cobblestones and Tammany hall, is an ideal candidate for farm- ers to grow enthusiastic about. We see the wheat farmers of the northwest, the corn growers from the west, the cotton growers from *the south, the ranchers and cattle potentates and sheep barons |from thé west, southwest and the Rocky Moun- \tain region all rushing to hiv support with the |salutation—*You Know Me Al!” Silence and Mystery The LaFollette Broup with hazy ideas of form. ing a third party with the Wisconsin renegade at the head of it for president, is remaining’ si- lent and mysterious until after the Democratic convention in New York has concluded its la. bors. They will have representatives at the con. vention but so far as known no delegates in the convention and possibly no one to present the La Follette platform for adoption in whole or in part. In this respect the proposed party will be at a disadvantage over the position they held in the Cleveland convention. But their hope is the same. ‘All they desired in the Republican con- vention wag rejection of their pronouncements, That is all they want at New York. ‘They are as certain to get it from the Democrats as they wer |from the Republicans.
