Wheeler Supports LaFollette If it ig of any interest to the country to know the position assumed Ly B. K. Wheeler, senator in the United States congress from Montana, offi- cial prosecutor for the Daugherty investigating i Roxie Stin- comunit friend of Gaston Mes son, Al Jennings 1 I yate to the Democratic national vénvention from Montana, well known sympathizer with and member of the Red contingent of Montana, and other things that might be enumerated, since the New York convention by his own announcement, it is this: He will support LaFollette. He says: “I do not see how [ can support John W. Davis. In view of my past position, I could not ask the people of my state to vote for Mr, Mor- gan’s personal attorney.” That's Wheeler for you. He accepted a com- mission from the Democrats of Montana to rep- resent them in their national conyention and then repudiates the nominee of the convention because that nominee was not of his own choos- ing. The man he repudiates is so high above him in everything that goes to make up manhood and character that it would be an insult to Mr. * Davis to even suggest a comparison between them upon any point. Wheeler is simply gravitating to where he be- longs. Into the party of LaFollette, The sur- prise ix that he stops there, and does not go at onee into the party of Foster and the rest of the communist If Wh r really means to desert the Demo- eratic , to which he has clung for some years, in order to gain elevation to office, while at heart « Réd radigal, that party is really to be congratulated upon being rid of him, He has brought nothing but disgrace upon the respect- able element of- Democracy and is one of the factors contributing to its present low estate. What to Do With Them There was once a great mystery in this coun- try. What became ed safety razor blades? That was in the day befo yY successful scheme had been devised for resharpening them. Aside from the few that were required for corn paring purposes, the remainder were waste ma- terial, When some genius struck upon a plan for resharpening them the great waste was obviated, Now the burning question in every city, town and village in this country, even in the rural dis- tricts, is, what becomes of discarded automobile tires? It is presumed that the junk des a percentage of them and mixed with new mate int they return to us in the form of new tires. That is prefectly right and proper, But the junk dealer evidently does not get all that he should get, for everywhere about the countryside, about the repair shops and elsewhere the disearded tires clutter up the scenery, The children play with them, and that’s the point we are coming to. They are not suitable for play things, They gerous articl They ure unwieldy, es- the larger sizes, The smaller children they frequently t away and do damage if not directly endanger life. A case in point, is where an old truck tire es: caped from a small boy and rolled ac: street crowded by automobile traffic, i the sheerest good fortune that a enabled to prevent a serious collision and get the old tire out of the way with but a second to spare Now the question becomes most pertinent what shall be do with the discarded automobile tires, the junk man does not get and which are left lying about promisciously for children to play with, ally find them unmanageable and Protection Profits Tn 1620 the population of this country con- sisted of a few colonies sparcely setéled by Euro- peans and the very existence of these colonie: was threatened by bands of Indians. Today the population ix about one hundred and twelve mil lions of the mont prosperous people in the worlil. This tremendous growth in population indi cates a tremendous influx of immigrants. A good part of this immigration has not been from the cultured, wealthy classes, but from those classes which have enjoyed few privileges in their na- tive country These people have not only become prosperous on the whole but so well educated. We find their immediate des: nts living in fine homes and engaged in pro ions requiring a high de- gree of mental training. What has been accomplished is to provide work for all those who have come to our shores and also unequalled public educational, facilities. It would have been entirely out of the question to have done all this if there had been no protec: tive tariff. ider these have come have come for protection ¢ they could earn in their mmigrants who have come better themselves, They net the low wages land Suppose, however, this county had adopted in the early years of its cxistence » free trade rather than a protective policy, Then instead of bringing immigrants here we would* have brought the goods which they produced. This is His theory is that goods should be produced where they can be produced at the lowest cost. In other words, they should be produced not in this country, but in those countries from which we have drawn our immigrants who have come to ose because of the higher wages and better living conditions they can enjoy here. Tf those immigrants who have become citizens of the United States had remained in their na- tive lands they woold have been forced to con- tinue to live as they were living when they de- cided to come to our shores. They would not have enjoyed the higher wages, the better living conditions, the educational advantages for them- selves and their children they have enjoyed since taking up their residence on this side of the ocean. Is there any profit in this uplifting of the people? Would it be better to leave those people where they were, have them produce goods at less cost to us, let us compete with them at the same low production costs, and all be brought down and kept down to the same low level, or to proceed as we have proceeded? Any out-and-out free trader who cannot trace his ancestry in this country back to the period prior to 1800 may find if he analyzes the situa- tion carefully that, had this country adopted free trade rather than protective tariff that has made this nation the haven of people of low estate and little opportunity the world over, his ancestors never would have settled here and he would have been living in some other country than this, enjoying a much smaller income and upon a much lower social scale. How would he like to exchange his present condition for that which most probably would be his had this coun- try been a free trade country? Let him go back to the country from which his ancestors came, let him study carefully the present condition of the average person there who is descended from the same class of people that he did and answer this question. The profit in the protective tariff has been much more than a mere money profit. There has been a great social and great human profit. This is a country of common people. There is no rul- ing class. Anyone can take an active part in the government of this nation provided he is a good citizen, All that is required of him to hold the highest office is to be born here and owe allegi- ance to no foreign power. 5 These common people who compose this great nation have for the most part come here to es- cape oppression of some sort. Some came here to enjoy religious liberty. Some came to enjoy po- litical liberty, Some came to enjoy economic lib- erty. Some came because of the wonderful op- portunities they could give their childrey here and could not give them in any other country. All this has been possible because the pro- tective tariff has protected the people of this country from, the economic aunnlone existing in the countries from which they came. Had it not been for the rapid growth of our industries those who came in such vast numbers could not have secured a livelihood. Only a very limited number could have come for religious, political or economic liberty because more than a limited aac would not have been able to earn. a living. : None could have come for economic liberty be- cause free trade would have meant that every- thing would have to be produced here at as low a cost as it could be produced elsewhere, This would mean that it would have to be produced at as low a labor cost which in,turn would mean that the Inboring man would be ho better off here than he would be in his own land. Let us glance at the matter from another angle. The better conditions that have existed here have had their influence the world over. We have at- tracted people for generations from all parts of the world, They have written home about the conditions they have found here. This has given the people at home the courage to demand better conditions for themselves. The lot of humanity has been made better because of the influence this country has be@® able to exert and whicl could not have exerted had not the protective tariff been used to protect our people from the conditions people have come here to escape, At “Our Expense” The politicians and agitators who are con stantly attacking established business, industry and government, care little ubout the ultimate effect of their inflammatory preachings so long as they gain the temporary advantages or yotes which they seek; Do you see any of the reds of half reds or so- clalists goiig to Russia on any other country where the establishment of their revolutionary doctrines has made the ordinary citizen a mere slaye working to pay salaries to an army of pub- lie officials? No you do not, the agitators stay right in a prosperous country like this where they can keep their bellies full while trying to ruin the nation that feeds them, It will be a sorry day for our people if our gov- ermment is changed so as to launch it into indus- trial undertakings rather than confining its functions to purely governmental affairs as the founders of our country intended, Agitation for government or state ownership of various lines of business and industry is really for the benefit of the office-holding class only as it cuts off the right of the private citizen to do business in every line taken over by govern- ment. In the agitation for state development of wa- ter power resources, monopolistic state laws coy- ering casualty insurance under workingmen’s compensation laws, and constant agitation. for government ownership of railroads, we see the entering wedges which the destroyers of safe and sane government are trying to driye into our solid constitutional form of government, The farce of the whole proceeding is that the proponents of ‘all destruitive measures claim to be carrying on their activity in the interest of the “people” by attacking industries and corpor- ations, They refrain from "saying that if they are suc- cessful jp their plans they will not only destroy the corporations but they will “destroy the right of private citizens to build other corporations, companies, organizations” or whatever you wish to call the: When you remove the right of eiti- zens to do business in groups you remove or limit the right of the citizen to do business as an in- dividual. Our forefathers fought to make a free people. Will we quietly allow our rights and freedom to be taken away due to our lack of interest in the matter? It is up to each of us individually to defeat the predatory socialistic interests seeking to usurp our rights today through various camou flaged schemes to put the state or government in- to business at “our expense Nothwithstanding the fact that the American people are rapidly growing sophisticated, there e still those snong us who believe in_ special delivery stamps. 5 ihe {automate The position which the United States should take in foreign affairs is always a matter of the greatest public importans President Wilson went abroad and negotiated a treaty at the close of the World War which after a two-year discussion our country did not see fit to ratify. After rejecting the league and adopting a pol- icy of isolation, we have witnessed the develop- ment of a feeling of depression and hopelessness in European affairs. Our country has become unsatisfied with its decision morally, There has been a great under- current of doubt and questioning as to whether we have done our duty in world affairs. The economic breakdown of Europe has ex- erted a bad influence in our country politically, socially and financially, Destroying a free mar- ket for gold in the world left prices wtihout an regulation in America. 3 We have participated in the reparations set- tlements and adjustment of foreign loans in a kind of haphazard half-hearted bootlegging man- ner ,trying to get results but avoiding respon- sibility, The moral duty of going tothe relief of such injured, wounded and prostrated nations of Europe should not be confused with any question as to the kind of a vehicle we employ to send relief. Whether our country shall join a league of na- tions or a world court is of minor importance compared to our obligation “to aid in the restora- tion of the world politically, economically and morally.” The foregoing is a fair summary of an address by Owen D. Young before Harvard on the oc- casion of receiying an honorary degree from that institution. Mr. Young made his remarks as a “private citizen” and not as a member of the recent experts committee on settlement of the ms question, nid: “I object to having the Ereat moral tion of what America should do confused y a discussion of the merits or faults of the |machinery through which she should make*that decision effective. Whether T should go to the re- Jief of my friend and comrade in a hospital and render what nid I could is one question, Whether I should go in a Buick or a Cadillac or a Ford is another question, I object to delaying my decis- ion or to be diverted from my main purpose by the sales talk of promoters of different vehicles. The first thing that I want to do is to send word {to my friend in the hospital that I am coming and then T will go by the best conveyance which expediency pits at my disposal, and if there be no other way, I will walk to his relief. That is what I should like to have America declare to] Europe. “I am not interested in going to the Ameri- can people on the question of whethédr we shall join the league or whether we shall join the world court or whether we shall make foreign loans, officially or unofficially, but I am inter- ested in going to the American people for the answer as to whether or not we intend, by every resonable means within our power, to aid in the restoration of the world, politically, economi- cally and morally. You ask hot this can be done? I say it can be done by frank and definite declar- ation of policy on the part of the United States. We need make no treaties at the moment. We need make no entangling alliances. We only need a definite and authoritative declaration of where America stands in order that isolationists may be rendered mute at home, monarchists and com- munists may be crippled abroad, and movements for democracy and peace in every country of the world may be given the encouragement which they ought to have from the United States of America, Europe is confused, She does not know what the spirit of America is. In fact, I think we have confused oursely He suggests that if we will all lay aside for the time being our talk regarding various forms of political methods of action, our country may yet fulfill her glorious duty to the world. The Simple Life People who complain about the increasing bur- dens of life do not always use plain, common sense to ease themselves of these burdens. We do not have to have many of the things that we now enjoy and pay for, It might riot seem easy or pleasant to sacrifice some of these encum- brances, but we could do it. More frugal fare at the table, with a smaller variety of viands, is one way. Another is the wearing of clothes a little longer than the ar- biters of fashion decree, Then there are the places of amusement that claim our too frequent attendance, And how many other forms of indulgence there are that have no real purpose to serve, the lack of which our fathers never seemed to find a | deprivation. Simplify your life, Quit paying the tax on excess baggage that adds no ettin benefit. Do it openly and above board as a frank confession that you cannot afford to do otherwise, and not with the half-ashamed air of one who is apolo- gizing for being alive. This course will do more to relieve the situa- tion than all the wailing over high prices by people to whom the thought of Gurtaiting some of life's incidentals never seems to occur. Furthermere, this would be the course of simple, plain, common sense, How True Now and then there comes an honest confes- sion from a Democratic statesman. It may seem a surprising statement to some in view of the re- cent session of congress, but even so truth crops up in strange places once in a while. The statesman in question, who by the way was one of the instigutors of the oil investigation, when asked what there was really behind and underneath the great hub-bub replied in two words that more aptly described the aims and objects of the great fiasco than any other reason yet assigned, The statesman’s reply was—politi- cal fertilizer, How true. Another Coincidence “Following a long series ef coincidences,” says the Baltimore Sun, “we have been led to the con- clusion that the less politicians say about farm relief the greater the improvement in grain prices. To recapitulate: “When the McNary-Haugen-bill was being ser- jously considered grain prices were down. “When congress adjourned grain prices went up. when the Democratic platform makers proph esied a liberal plank for farm relief prices went down. - “When the ‘liberal plank’ failed to material ize prices went up. “When the LaFolletie platform announced ‘lef. juite federal aid pricos weny down. “Yosterday was no exception to the rile, Cull el upon for a statement of their polimes. the Deinoeratic nominees, Messrs Davis and 2 yan, Chi Board of Trade.’ ‘Qaximum gaits of tive conte bushel were registered, values being a trifle shaded at the {nish pit attained a high pitch. majority does not necess: make dent.

Houston has a constructive article which shows that this country is sound in spite of the work- ings of pessimists, agitators and demagogues. Those whose comparisons are with the heroic days of George Washington are reminded that he was by some of his own day called a hypo- crite, an impostor and a murderer. Those whose political demigods are the Clays, the Websters and the Calhouns are told that Cleveland, Wil- son and Richard Olney were more worthy to be followed than these statesmen of the former days. And to those who do not look back at all, but only about th in bewilderment and disgust upon scandals ¢lass conflicts and blocs, Mr. * ston brings the conclusior that no one cla “bloc” has sense enough to govern all the other classes, and that present “blocs” will disappear even as did the ones against which Washington warned the people. There is, with a safeguarded economic stabil- ity, a spirit in the people which will insist upon a clean national household from cellar to attic, and which prompts this financier whose roots are deep in the soll of America to advise the pub- lic that “the United States is today the safest investment in the world.” .
