It might have been possible to accomplish the work earl- jer, but the various elements composing the party had some sort of notion that they were not engaged in selecting a man who might be the chief executive of the nation, but rather that they were assembled to witness a national prize fight. They behaved strictly in accordance. If there were any unsettled questions, or dis- putes of any character, disagreements of any kind, or soiled linen that required laundering, we believe at one time or another they appeared ” in the proceedings. Never in the history of the country has there ~ been such a convention. So much humiliation and disgrace brought to a great party. The per- . formances staged by the adherents of McAdoo and Smith, with their full knowledge and consent and with their participation, in a hand to hand contest for the great office of president, will remain a blot upon convention history as long as the republic endures. . There have been other conventions and other distressing scenes, but nothing to compare with this convention. The proceedings and actions throughout the two weeks’ session have not only brought general condemnation upon the party, but have also made certain its defeat in Novem- ber. The American people will never*look with favor upon any party that has shamed them so outrageously as the New York convention. John W. Davis is a good enough man to come out of that bedlam as the party’s nominee for president. The only wonder is that he accepted the place of standard bearer for the mob. And it is a rather strange situation that Charles W. Bryan, the brother of William J. Bryan should be the vice presidential selection to run upon the Davis ticket, when throughout the long ses- sion William J. Bryan, lost no opportunity to berate and abuse the final presidential nominee, with all the invective his scurrilous tongue could command, Well, the Democratic ticket is in the field. We don’t know that it makes any real difference, one way or another. Nothing good could possibly come out of such a convention. The defeat of the ticket is a foregone conclusion. The same fate awaits LaFollette and his hypocritical and dema- gogical policies. The people of the United States have not and will not take leave of their senses. They have clearly indicated that they desire Coolidge and Dawes for their president and vice president and the sanity that they will impart to national government. So that ends the mat- SOCOLOCODEAGEOURESTRLSUAEESIASS LIT RREeEaRD It Is the Bunk Never before did a party platform contain more partisan cant and political bunk than the Democratic platform of 1924. Take other pronouncements of that convention, the keynote address by Senator Harrison and the assistant keynote speech by Permanent Chairman Walsh. They were as bad as the plat: form with reference to cant and bunk, if you do not choose to use harsher terms. Senator Harrison repeated the thread-bare falsehood that the tariff of 19 adds $4,000,- 000,000 annually to he cost of living, a statement which the platform is unwilling to endorse, so it cuts the figures down to $2,000,000,000. The Har- rison statement and the platform statement are both false, differing only in the extent of the misrepresentation. In this connection came the Walsh statement that everything which the far- mer buys is “held at the war level by the tariff.” The three statements are all of a piece and aro all contradicted by official statistics, One ex- ample will discredit them all. Every farmer in the United States knows that the price of sugar during the war ran to twenty-five cents, or more per pound, while the price now is from six and a half to eight cents. There are thousands of other instances that might be enumerated. Right off the bat Senator Harrison declared that the duty on raw wool under the Payne-Al- drich tariff was eleven cents per pound, while the duty on raw wool under the present law is thirty-one cents per pound. Never was a state- ment farther from the truth. The duty of thirty- one cents per pound in the present tariff is on the “clean content” on the scoured wool. The duty of eleven cents per pound in the Payne-Aldrich tariff was on “wool in the grease,” while on scoured wool it was three times that amount, thirty-three cents per pound. Senator Harrison and other free traders would do well to study the provisions of the several tariffs before they presume to discuss them. he statement that the present tariff is pro- tive is disproved by the statistics of the bn- 1 of foreign and domestic commerce. Due to increased production under protection and to the increased prosperity of the people as a whole, imports have increased rather than decreased Nor has our export trade suffered on account of the tariff. On the contrary it has markedly in- creased, especially during the past year. Practi- cally the only export trade which has not in- creased during the life of the tariff of 1922 is that of wheat. The tariff, howevesx, is in no wa bi responsible for that. The first responsibility lies 4 & directly with the Democratic administration, which unwisely indulged in a policy of price-fix- ing and then turned around and swindled the farmers out of the profits derived from the ad- ministration’s wheat handling corporation. The responsibility is partly. the farmers’, for they might have known that the war prices for wheat and the war demand for wheat could not be main- tained during peace times. The drop in prices was: the inevitable result of the working out of the law of demand and supply. When the war ceased peace time pursuits were resumed, and agricul- ture was among the first. The wheat producing nations sowed millions of acres of that cereal to supply the local demand, with the result that there was a world-wide overproduction. - Naturally that led to a decreased demand for American-grown wheat. Nevertheless the expor- tation of wheat from the United States during the life of the tariff act of 1922 has exceeded pre- war exportations. So a little common sense con- sideration furnishes a complete answer to and refytation of the Democratic charge that the tariff ig responsible for a decrease in wheat exports. The tariff act of 1922 is by no means perfect. Even its strongest adherent makes no claim that it is. But its main fault is that it is “free trade in spots.” That was mostly due to the fact that deplorable conditions under free-trade forced its enactment before the foreign situation had cry- stalized and no man could predict what the con- ditions were to be. Indeed, no man can with certainty predict what the economic conditions in foreign countries will be a year from now, nothwithstanding that there has been great im- provement. Foreign affairs are by no means settled. There has been no lack of employment, no clos- ing down of industries, no lack of prosperity among those industries which were afforded adequate tariff protection. The farmers suffered from an influx of Canadian wheat until Presi- dent Coolidge increased the duty on wheat to forty-two cents per bushel, since which time there has been a cessation of such imports; except un- der bond for milling and re-exportation, Not- withstanding the jeers of the free traders, the domestic price of wheat has substantially risen since the tariff was increased. The tariff act of 1922 has brought a high de- gree of prosperity with only sporadic exceptions. It has not yet been in operation for two years, and it was not to be expected that it could rem- edy all the ills inflicted upon the country by the mal-administration and wickedly foolish legis lation of the Democratic free trade party. The recovery of economic health is still progressing and full recovery is assured, so long as no change of physicians is made during the period of con- valescence. Of course if we again employ Dr. Democracy, under whom the patient nearly died, we may expect a relapse and a lingering, death. But the people, we trust, will exhibit nd such signs of mental aberration. If they do, they will deserve all the ilis which fall to their lot. They may expect unemployment, breadlines, soup houses, want, suffering and despair. That is what the party of free trade has always brought on when it for a short time secured the rein of government. Democracy is a party of promis: but not one of fulfillment. It is now loud in its promises, but every promise would be broken in the future as in the past. Not An Issue There are some devoted. drys who complain that neither party platform is sufficiently strong to please them on the matter that they regard as paramount. What they desired was explicit dec- laration of belief in the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead law. The parties very properly took the ground that the question is a settled one. In our belief the drys should be well satisfied with the action of the conventions. The platforms accept prohibition as a firmly established prin- ciple, so far removed from peril of repeal that it needs no specific emphasis. They propose no modification of the Volstead law. In spite of the clamor of the wets and the confident predic- tions that one or the other party would espouse a light wine and beer program, neither -party dared to hint at any lowering of the barrier against alcoholic beverages, All of this indicates clearly that in the belief of the politicians prohibition is here to stay and may not be tampered with safely. It will not be an issue in the campaign—which is tantamount to saying that it is a settled question. The wets, indeed, are about the only group of any size in the country to which one or the other party did not make a bid, direct or indirect, of any kind. They have a right to be aggrieved. The drys have every reason to contemplate the situ- ation with a pleased sense of being safely on top of it. Philippine Independence There is a direct and definite issue between the Republican and Democratic parties on the question of Philippine independence. The Demo- crats declate specifically for “immediate inde- pendence.” The Republican policy is thus stated in the Republican platform: “The Philippine policy of the Republican party has been and is inspired by the belief thet our duty toward the Filipino people is a national obligation which should remain entirely free from parties and polities. In accepting the obli- gation which came to them with control of the Philippine islands, the American people has only the wish to serve, advance and improve the con- dition of the Filipino people. That thought will continue to be the dominating factor in the Amer- ican consideration of the many problems which must inevitably grow out of our rela onship to the people. If the time comes when it is evi- dent to congress that independence would be bet- ter for the people of the Philippines with re- spect to both their domestic concerns and their status in the world, and the Filipino people then desire complete independence, the American gov- ernment avill gladly accord it. A careful study of the conditions in the Philippine islands has convinced us that the time for such action is not yet arrived.” Unprejudiced consideration of the subject will conyin most men that the Republicans are right in their assertion that the Filipino people are not yet ready for full self-government. They are ready for a Iarge measure of self-govern- ment, under the guidance and protection of the United States. This they are now exercising. While there are many of the Filipino people who are perhaps fully prepared for the exercise of the | dut of citizenship in a republic, there are who are not. Independence of the Philip- pines would not mean government by the best qualified; it would mean government by a ma- jority of.all. Such a fovernment would suffer all the changes. the destruction, the revolutions that have cursed the republic of Mexico in recent years. There could be little hope that life, liberty apd property would be reasonably safe with the supporting and defending arm of the United States removed from the\ Philippines. it is worth while to note the language which the Republican statement emp] the interest of the Filipino people “with respect to both their domestic concerns and their etatus in the world.” There is a hint, well justified, that if the Filipinos were turned loose to organize government of their own they wounld not only suffer the ills of internal strife but would be- come the prey of selfish outside interests.

So far as congress is concerned the Re- publican regime until March 1921, did the Republicans get con- trol of both branches of government. Neverthe- less, the Republican congress began wholesale cuts in the demands for appropriations as soon ag it came into power. The Democratic requests for funds were slaughtered to the extent of $3,890,000,000 in three sessions to which the Dem- ocrats had submitted estimates. made to manage the affairs of the nation accord- principles, The results speak for themselves. Ap- propriations have been. reduced, have correspondingly ds reduced, the public debt and the interest charge have been lowered, the budget has been: balanced each y on the surplus side, the number of employes has been cut, and the country has been given a bud- get system. f accomplishments. The past few years have been critical in the affairs of the nations of the world. The present favorable situation of the United States is due in no small measure to the sound ment of its affairs. While otherenations are struggling with overwhelming public debts that national wealth and are crying for relief from people of the United States are enjoying the eco- nomic benefits which arise from sound financ- necssary appropriations to the lowest limit con- sistent with service and by avoiding the creation of new sources-of demand upon the public trea- su just closed, aside from the adjusted compensation sels and the necessary personnel in the coast guard to enable that service to cope with the the prohibition laws.

But in his ad- dress notifying the Conference for Progressive Political Action of his to accept its nomination for the presi: without discarding his Republican label, which has. proved so use- ful, LaFollette proved singularly unenlighten-' ing. What he said and what his words really mean, while bearing some recognizable relatiov to each other, suggest to the constructive critiu. that a little interpretation might prove helpful “For example, Mr. LaFollette declares: ‘I should be unwilling to participate in any politi- cal campaign at this time which would imperil the steady advance of the p’ ive it,” ete, And again: ‘The people already have given proof, by their election of progressives to the con- gress and to state offices, that they recognize thé real issue that confronts them. This lang- uage is almost cryptic, until it is explained that when Mr, LaFollette uses the word ‘progressive’ he really means ‘socialistic.’ Substitute the one word for the other—occasionally throwing in ‘communistic’ for good measure— and the: in- tent of the candidate is clear. Nor have the peo- ple recognized the evils LaFollette alleges in any such manner or degree as he would have the coun- try think. A minority of the voters of some of the Northwestern states have elected a handful of LaFollette Socialists to congress who happen | to hold a balance of power, but the overwhelming majority of. the people, ay represented faithfully in the two major parties, have no more use for LaFollette than they had for Lenine. A Roose- velt progressive was an upstanding American with no use for foreign models, “The senator is obscure in another direction. In his campaign to undermine the bases of Amer- ican industry and initiative and to substitute a system as foreign to the American idea as So- vietism, he charges that the government is in the grasp of the ‘predatory’ interests. That will sur- prise some gentlemen, like the railroad ‘mag- nates’ for example some of whose properties have been practically wrecked by the system of goy- ernment control for which LaFollette has so long contended, and who have found themselves helpless to protect themselves against an advanc- ing Socialism the net result of which—covering the period of Mr LaFollette's service in the up- per house—has been poorer service and higher rates. One has only to recall that every time government control has been tightened prices have gone up to the consumer, to measure the beneficience of the LaFollette panaceas. The ‘predatory interests’ do not control anything in Washington, at the present writing, glthough it must be admitted that they have turned to and helped out the western wheat and livestock far- mer when no one else could or would. The con- trol LaFollette recommends is political control as opposed to that of level-headed business men. “When Mr. LaFollette can convert the coun- try to his own belief that he and his ‘progres- si ce are the only honest patriots in the land, he will -have a broader following. Until that time we believe that the sober second thought of the country will have no use for him. The platform adopted by the ‘Conference’ at Cleveland must complete the determination of the people to that effect. It proposes government ownership of pretty much everything. It turns down every im- pulse of the average American's individually en- terprising heart. It would knock down all the proved usefulness of the Federal Reserve sys- tem. To crown all, it proposes absolutely the de- struction of the United States constitution by the abolition of the Federal courts’ power of pronouncing on the constitutionality of legisla- tion. Such an abolition of the power of judicial review would absolutely nullify all constitution- al restrictions, opening the floodgates to every whim of legislation.

Soldiers’ Monuments BY ELDEN SMALL Most of our older cities have “soldiers” monu- ments.” dedicated to the heroes of the Civil War. Nearly every New England town, in particular, has so-marked a park or square in or near the center or business hub. Perhaps we are becoming too busy a nation or too deeply engrossed in our own personal af- fairs to appreciate the feeling with which our fathers and mothers contributed time and money toward erecting these mute testimonials to the warriors of the 60s. They are ordinarily small and not too inspiring pieces of sculpture, for we did not then know the great statuary creations now erected. But it is not. generally known that the first Civil War “soldier's monument” was erected while that war was still in progress. In the city of Bangor, Majne, stands the first of these tributes. It is over 28 feet high, and was dedicated in June, 1866, the oration being by former Governor Edward Kent, whose name fig- ured in the once famous campaign song of how “Maine went hell-bent for.
