There is a row on and a sizable one at that, in which the Honorable Charles W. Bryan, present gov- ernor, and also Democratic candidate for vice president on the Democratic national ticket. The Honorable Bryan is the*Democratic can- didate for governor, selected at the primary xome weeks ago. Since he cannot be the candi- date for the governorship of a state and a candidate for vice president of tha United States at the same election, he will resign the eandidacy for the governorship and the Demo- cratic State Central committee will fill the va cancy thus created. ; Altogether there are some 20 deserving Democrats who \desira the yacant place on the ticket. The Honorable Bryan has been in- discreet and impolite enough to demand of the state committee that it fix it’s choice upon one of four gentlemen named by him. And here crops out a Bryan trait that runs through the family. The Governor not only wants to pick his successor, but wants him picked from the family. His modesty demands that his brother in law, Thor Allen, be placed at the head of the Democratic state ticket. This is not pleasing to Mr. Gilbert Hitchcock, former senator and an opponent of the Bryan family ambitions for long years. The suggestion creates no warmth in the heart of Arthur Mul- Jen, Democratic national committeeman from Nebraska, who rather sympathizes with Mr, Hitcheock and shares his antipathy for the Bryans and their works. : Meanwhile, the other 19 candidates for the yacant place are making remmrks about the honorable governor and going so far as to de- clare that they will do some things to the Demo- cra ndidate for vice president wholly dis pleasing ‘to him at the November election. However, Nebraska Democrats haye trouble on their hands which involves the Bryan fam- ily and the state central committee. Let us hope that it will have a bearing upon the re- sult in Nebraska later on. The Value Demonstrated The point whether it is desirable to encour- age the devolpment of a new industry by utiliz. ing the principle of protection is illustrated by the failure of on attempt to establish an import- ant glass industry at Hamilton, Ontario in Can- ada. Tn 1918 a Canadian company with a capital of $2,000,000 began the erection of a factory in Hamilton designed to produce enough flat glass to meet about two-thirds of the consumption in Canada. At that time glass was scarce and dear. The company started operations with the benefit of a tariff of 1842 per cent; it was presently employing 600 hands directly in glass produc tion and another 300 in the production of raw materials. It also gave considerable employment to the Canadian railways—a matter of the hand- ling of 60,000 tons of materials and finished products a year. Then, when some time after the war, ocean rates slumped, the Belgian glass industries cut prices 40 per cent, in the Canadian market. The Belgians had the advantage and the deprecia- tion of their currency had reduced the Canadian duty on their products to a small fraction. An appeal was niade to the Mackenzie govern- ment by the Hamilton company for an adjust- ment of the tariff which would work out at an ad yalorem duty of 18 1-2 per cent on the basis of only 15 cents for the Belgian franc, the same tariff on wh the company had based its cal- culations when starting business and about the tariff which protects the United States glass industry. The government took no action on this appeal, though since it obvious that the Belgian producers, who combine for export trade, planned to kill the new Canadian in dustry, the anti-dumping clause of the tariff might have been eyoked inst them with some propriety. So last year the Hamilton glass factory closed its doors. Canada lost a new industry, and an investment of $2,000,000 was wiped out. Im- mediately the “Belgians abolished the discount of 40 per cent they have been quoting and added to 17 1-2 per cent basis of the fran now charging the’ Canadian consumers more than if the Canadian company had been able to add the whole duty it asked for to its prices. And any prospects of lower prices through com petition are gone. Stands by Coolidge One of the most significant announcements to come out of the northwest is that of Thomas uhausen who was the political manager Hiram Johnson in the pre-convention cam- aign. Mr, Neuhausen speaks for many of the 000 Republicans of his state who supported Johnson against Coolidge in the Oregon pri- maries. He is careful to say however, that he does not assume to speak for Senator Johnson. He has no wish to anticipate a announce anent that California’s imilitant leader in_ the seuate may be preparing on his own behalf, their old pric 20 cents the On the Selgians are Four years ago Senator Johnson refused to declare for the nominees of the Chicago con- vention until Mr. Harding in his speech of ac- ceptance had placed his own interpretation of the Chicago platform. It would be in entire con- sistency with kis course four years ago should Senator Johnson withhold any announcement bearing upon the battle of 1924, until he Mas had an opportunity to read the speech of acceptance which President Coolidge will shortly deliver. In the meantime the announcement of Senator Johnson’s Oregon manager is receiving consid- erable attention throughout the northwest. Mr. Neuhauser says in his statement: “In taking a stand for the-election of Presi- dent Coolid; I do so for the simple reason that I 1 Republican and believe in the principles of the Republican party. In national elections one votes for principle, not for men, nd for that reason I am for President Cool- idge’s election, even though he may not be as brilliant a lawyer or as able a diplomate as the Democratic nominee, John W. Davis. The battle is between Coolidge and La Follette, any- we n advocating the continuance of the Re- publican party in power, I do not assume to speak for Hiram Johnson, although I am con- fident that he has no more intention than I have of leaving the Republican party, either to join the Democratic party, or to follow La Follette’s leadership. The principal point on which Sen- ator Johnson and President Coolidge differed was the World Court, the senator holding that to join the World Court was tantamount to entering the League by the b door. Iowever the Republican platform now puts a different aspect on that question by affirm- ing that our government, while endorsing the Permanent Court of International Justice, has definitely refused membership in the League of Nations or to assume any obligations under the covenant of the League. Furthermore, the plat- form h urged that ‘we are unwilling to enter mto political commitntents which would inyolye us in the conflict of European politics.’ “The principal drawback to national pros- perity at present is the depression in agricul- ture, but the Republican platform definitely promises a solution to this great problem through adequate tariff protection and the en- actment of measures which will place the agri- cultural interests of the United States on a basis of economic equality with other industries to assure its prosperity and success. I firmly believe that this promise will be kept, provided a Republican majority is elected in both branches of gress, because President Cool- idge has a trait of character which will impel him to insist that the platform pledges drafted under supervision be scrupulously fulfilled. “As the campaign progresses, the very fact that La Follette’s candidacy endangers the selec- tion of our chief magtstrate by popular vote will work to Coolidge’s advantage. The people wish to elect their president themselves and do not care to have the election taken out of their hands and turned over to congress. As Cool- idge admittedly has the best chance of election, enough votes are likely to be cast for him on this score alone to make his election a certainty, 1 predict President Cooiidge’s election.” City and Country Partisans A certain traveler who enjoyed studying man- kind found himself in a great city and there ac- costed a man on the street. * place,” said the traveler, ‘seems a little crowded, and I miss the green grass and the trees, Why do you con- tinue to live in the midst of so many noises when are free to move to the*count 2 “I couldn't live in the country, id the man. “Tt would bore me to death and it’s so quiet it gives me the creeps. I enejoy mixing with crowds of sophisticated people, and in the country I would be forced to spend my idle hours with gnorant, narrow-minded hicks who would yearn to reform me. There’s nothing to see in the coun- try, anyway, and here we have a splendid art gallery and a wonderful library and things like that. We are generations ahead of rural people in culture.” “Perhaps you are right,’ said the traveler. “And I suppose you spend much time in the art gallery and the librar; “Well no,” said the man. “My work keeps me tied down. As a matter fact I’ve never been in- side of either. Some time later the traveler stopped at a farm- house for a drink of water. A man in overalls drew the water from a well, and the traveler began to make conversation. “It seem rather lonely out here,” said he. “Dop’t you get tired of it at times and yearn to live in some great city where there e libraries and art galleries and things like that?” ot 1,” said the farmer. “Cities are noisy, wicked places, and the milling crowds get on my nerves. Out here in God’s great out-of-doors vice is almost unknown and there are few temp- tations for our children. I suppose a city man would feel lonely here, but I’m used to it and my work keeps me too busy to worry about the lack of company. Anyway I'd rather have the pei and quiet of my home than anything the city has to offer.” rhaps you are right,” said the stranger, “At any rate, no city can offer a view as won- derful as this you have down the valley, with the river in the foreground and those purple hills in the distance. It is very beautiful; isn’t it?” “Well to tell you the truth,” said the farmer, “Yd never noticed it.” “Organized Wealth.” “We stood in front of the Chamber of Com- merce,” says the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. “There was a trench in the street. A lot of negro men were digging the trench. Alongside the trench were long copper tubes. These tubes were about two inches in diaméter, We asked one of the colored men who was doing that job. He said the Western Union Telegraph company doing it. : The Western Union Telegraph company wants to get connections with its branch offices. The money for this work will come from the money which you, I and thousands,of others and busin concerns pay for messages. The tele- graph company with this money will buy the copper tube. It will pay the mechanics that put the tubes in the ground. It will pay those hard-working negro men a decent wage for dig- ging the trench. ' the Western Union Telegraph company in this case is an organizer of the wealth” against which Mr. LaFollette ¢ “The raw copper for their tubes was mi Montana and made in New Mexico. ‘Organized wealth’ paid the miners. These tubes were fa- bricated the Lord knows where, but ‘organized wealth’ made this fabrication, possible. ‘They were brought to Memphis on cars. ‘Organized wealth’ built the railroads and the brakemen and engineers who hauled the copper had jobs made possible to them because of the wealth that the railroads had organized, Then we looked actoss the street at the new ‘all the grand divisions of the Che Casper Daily Cribune Lowenstein building. is made of brick, glass copper, steel, marble, granite, paint, sand gravel and lumber of high grade, In it are insulated wires, electric light globes and masses of machinery. On it there is a water tank. 0 “Mr. Newman of New Orleans and some others organized the wealth that put this build- ing up. It will be operated and owned by the Lowenstein company, inc. Lowenstein’s is an organization. . “That building, they tell us, cost around $1,000,000. Its creation. brought about the em- ployment of a great number of workers. It used the product created by the labor of men in orld. It will be a depot for goods brought into Memphis from probably every country in the world. “An institution of this sort is impossible without organization. It is impossible without “organized wealth.” foe that is what Mr. La Follette does not ike. “We are dictating this editorial to a young woman sitting at a typewriter. The paper comes from Maine. The machine comes from—well, we do not know where it comes from, but it comes from somewhere. Over in the corner there is an electric fan which revolves. It is a wonderful fan. Every two seconds it shoots a breeze across the desk and against the young woman at the machine. Every two seconds it fans the wind through the thinning hair of us who dictate. It was made by the Western Elec- tric company (no extra charge for this). These things—the machine, the paper the electric fan are products of ‘organized wealth’ and these things Mr. La Follette would not have because Mr. La Follette is against ‘organized wealth,’ “If Mr. La Follette were true to his convic- tions he would stop riding on trains, stop sleep-|. ing in hotels and stop wearing clothes. He would go naked and get his food from nuts and roots and rabbits that he might kill with a club. % “Isn’t it funny how absurd some of our states- men are when they are out.for the favor of the people?” What We Owe Although it is not a pleasant pastime to face what we owe, yet a time comes when we are com- pelled to look over our assets and bilities when we want to make a new venture to see if we can afford it .[f we ignored the liability side of our financial record, it is altogether likely that the sheriff would be in charge of our busi- ness in very short time. It will probably wake the average person from his dreams when he learns of the huge amount of.money owed by national, state, county and city governments, While the national debt is being reduced reg- wlarly under the present administration, the annot be said of the debts of other polit- 1Ons. g to the bureau of census the gross debt reported for 1922 including long-term and serial bonds, special assessment bonds, tempor- ary loans, outstanding warrants and other debt of every character, amounted to $82, 22,000, or an average for each person of $301 Annual interest on this gross debt, computed at the rate of 4 per cent, would amount to $1,311,- 476,850, or $12.06 per capita. At 444 per cent, and 1 per cent sinking fund the totul charges would be $1,803,280,710 or $16.59 per capita. The actual amount lies some- where between these figures. Of the total debt the national government represented 68.7 per nt; the te government, 3.5 per cent; the counties 4.2 per cent; incorporated places, 17.8 per cent; and all other civil divisions, 5.8 per cent Taking the net. debt—that is, the gross less sinking fund assets held for debt re- tirement—we d that it was $4850,461,000 in 1912 and $30,852,825,000 in 1922, an increase in the ten ars of 5386 per cent. The e for cach person was $49.97 in 1912 and $ in 1922. As to the distribution of this debt we learn that the net debt of the federal government gr during the decade from $1,028,- ; that cf the states from $ of counties from $371,528000 to # 211,000; that of ineorpor- ated places from $2,884,884.000 to $4,708,940,000; and that of all other civi} divisions from $219,- 545,000 to $1,797,245,000, The Forces Behind. La Follette is endeavoring to marshal the forces of discontent. He is succeeding to a more or less extent. Many of these blocs, have heretofore had no hope of accomplishing any- thing, but like their kind have continued to agitate. The advent of La Follette as a leader of the isms induced them to throw in with him, If he had a well defined policy or program tov 1 higher and saner things than those pro- posed by the Republicans he would haye better ground upon which to found his independent crusade. Were his followers concentrated upon coherent ‘and really progressivesaction he might receive some measure of approval from sober- minded people in the country. But he repre- sents a motley mass of all forms of radicalism that is a downright danger to the welfare of the nation and to its progress and to its very existence. Therein lies the danger to which the serious attention of thinking and respon- sible people is directed, There are‘a few of La _ Follette’s milder policies that the country could stand without collapsing.- There are many more so fatuous that they tend to destruction, not to progress. When to these are added the wild theories of Socialists, Anarchists and I. W. W., and all the other organized elements of discontent and ruption, the man who leads them, whose can- for President of the United States is pported by them, becomes a really dangerous ent in this campaign, 40000 to Mr. Bryan’s Enthusiasm. The Commoner, after it is all over, gives no great evidence of enthusiasm mepen he says: I prefer to make my fight with the Democratic party and to correct within the party any mis- takes the party may muake.” If candidate John W. Davis will read care- fully he cannot help gathering the impression that Mr. Bryan still regards him as‘a mistake, which it will be the Bryan purpose to correct as far as possible. At best this may be con- idered commendation with a rather serious qualification. But Mr, Bryan makes the matter rather worse by saying “this is the position I took in 1904 when Judge Parker was nominated.” This seems to imply that the nomination of Mr. Davis is precisely the same kind of a mistake that his party made when it nominated Judge rker. Apparently the indulgent position that Mr. Bryan took in 1904 did not help Judge Varker notably, Notwithstanding his merits It is about complete.

Mr, Davis has no occasion to become over- een ldent in thus being put in the Judge Parker class.

By ELDEN SMALL Queer things happen often in national political conventions, upsetting the schemes of party lead- ers and the “dope” of political wise-acres and prophets. More than once candidates who held majority votes for many ballots have been beaten out of presidential nominations by the two-thirds rule, in Democratic conventions. When the delegates from Wisconsin staged a bolt in the second day’s balloting for president at the Democratic convention in Cincinnati in 1880, the spectacular movement swept plans and prospects off the map and nominated General Winfield 8. Hancock, who had been trailing along far behind the leaders. The latter included such powerful men as Tilden, Thomas F. Bayard of Delaware, Field of California, and Morrison of Illinois. John Kelly, Tammany boss, had given warning that New York would not again sup- port Tilden. The result was a deadlock for two days, broken by the Wisconsin bolt to Hancock over the pro- tests and pleading of party leaders and bosses. Hancock was beaten at the polls by a very slen- der margin.
