They would not scruple from any sense of moral obligation or party responsi- bility to support LaFollette for presi- dent, although their own names are on the ballot below Coolidge and Dawes and although they claim the right to the Republican name and to Republican sup- port. It is expediency and nothing else, and surely not party loyalty that will hold them to Coolidge, they are held. If the position which these men have taken, of individual freedom with no ac. countability to party, and no loyalty to it, is permitted by the Republican or- ganizations throughout the nation, we may as well abandon party government and proceed to honor and elevate trait- tors dishonorables and assassins and permit ourselves to be used as stepping stones by person who ean develop the necess ggerated ego, Checking Up In one of his outgivings LaFollette has said: “Within the last twenty-four yaers it has. come about that powerful groups through the control of markets and prices, have doubled and trebled the cost of sustaining human life—of hous American people.” Let us see whether or not LaFollette knows what he is talking about. We would rather trust the authentic figures for it than LaFollette’s mere unsup. ported assertion. Dun’s Index for whole sale prices of commodities in 1900 places the figure at 91.415 while last year the stood at 188.711 and prices this year ¢ lower than last although twice what they were in 1900. So instead of doubling and trebling they have simply doubled. But whit has happened to wages during th same period. Why not give all the fac that enter into economi conditions, instead of merely some of them. Si prices und wages have some relation j; the general scheme. Here is a fair com parison in more ways than one. In New York state in the year 1904 the average annual wage was #500, In 1919 jt was $1,187. If prices doubled wages more than doubled. In Wisconsin in 19014 the average annual wage was $73. In 19%) — it was $1,100, Wages in monopoly ridden | New York and in progressive Wisconsin rose in exactly the same ratio, It may be conceded that farmers have suffered in comparison with the rest of the community, but there is an excellent reason for it, and it is associated with over production, failure to diversify crops, and the operation of the immut- uble law of supply and demand. But eyen | so, the farmer's dollar in purchasing | value s worth 86 cents in 1900 and so cents in 1922; and from 1909 to 1918 it ranged from 100 cents to 112 cents, i The value of all farm property in 1900, of riotous wealth, f tions of monop- jues had risen to} 1,000,000,000, ) the value of farm} property was $738,000,000,000. Concede to Brookbart has claim of “criminal defla-}| tion” to the extent of $32,000,000,000 and the farm wealth of today is more than! double what it was in i900. The value of all farm preducts in’ 1905 was $6,250,000,000; in 1919 it was nearly) 4,000,000,000, In 19 it was $14,250,- 000,000. Here, too, there has at least been} a doubling. La Follette may find some who will 22 accept his statements without question, | the real purpe but he is surely taking a long chance in| making irresponsible’ assertions with reference to matters that can readily be confirmed or as in this case. Let us go further. The number of s ings bank depositors in the same period of twenty four years increased from a little over 6,000,000 to nearly while their savings increased from less than $2,500,000,000 to more than 200, 000,000, There is perhaps no better gauge of the condition of the people than is shown by the number of sayings bank! depositors and the amount of their say- ings, and the figures show a trebling of the amount of such vings. ll another step to show that LaFol- lette is enly barking to hear himself . The number of policy holders in nsurance compar IML to ne while iner 000,000 to § nd loan ter advance p were les the numb se of almost fi hip. nked with the socialists, as the can: y of LaFollette is, he has too will- accepted as e figures that ingly g le Tannot substantiate. Due to the exist- ing prote riff, by no means wholly adequate in its protective provisions, ad to the ion of wholesale, immi- ution, the ers of the United ates know t they are infinitely bet- ter off toc in eyer they have been. yen the farm are vastly better off now than they were a quarter of a cen- tury ago, and adherence to protective tariff will keep them better off in times to cdme, despite all of the foolish mis- representation that has been made of conditions in farming communities. During the past few months, since President Coolidge increased the protec- tion of the wheat growers of the United States, under the flexible provisions of the 1§ tariff act, by advancing the dnty on wheat from thirty to forty-two ce a bushel, the price of wheat has risen fully twenty per cent, with every promise of further r i sponding prosperity among the growers of that great food staple, and corn, too, is incre; g steadily in value, all of which is contrary to the desires of the apostles of de: Tit for Tat, It is understood that the forces of rad- icalism are to support LaFollette by the assessment of one dollar on each mem- ber of sympathetic labor unions. By this means the Wisconsin radical will be able, he hopes to get the necessary cash with which to Tight the “interests.” The opposition—the hated “interests” —could draw from the LaFollette crowd its loudest yowl of protest were it to announce that it would proceed to col- lect money—even one dollare from each bank, business firm, corporation rail- road association or friendly business man in order to obtain the sum it must have if it wages any sort of a political fight. We were interested to observe not long ago in a magazine devoted to the inter- ests of organized labor the picture of LaFollette and underneath it an adver- tisement to the effect that union men could always safely vote for him because he never failed to work for eyery last measure they desired. It was a plain bid for yotes to be eventually paid for by the enactment of laws favoring selfish in- terests. What would LaFollette say if Coolidge or Davis were to boldly advertise that all the business men of the country could be sure of getting special consideration at their hands and that, therefore, the forces of busine: supporting them at the poils Would there be any protest? Would “the forces of spec privilege” be damned and condemned from the zenith to the nadir? Would they! t when radicalism acts politically it always does boldly what it would con- demn iv the opposition were the latter to imitate its example. Radicalism appears to think that inherently it has political rights and privileges that belong to no- body else. We take it that LaFollette with the aid of Johnstone will now proceed to put into effect the check-off system of cellecting campaign funds from each member of the radical unions, who will be required to step up to the cashier's office and make good or give his consent hat his contribution be deducted from pay envelope.

Unduly Alarmed What a lot of foolish people there are in the werld? And among them let us in- clude a lot of pacifists who are protest- |ing against the observance of September 2 as Defense Day. The objection ap- pears to be chiefly because the war de- | partment has set this day for the con- structive mobilization of the armed j forces of the United States. These pro- testants have assumed that it is the pur- in 1910, after ten' pose of the war department to actually mobilize the regular army, the national guard and the organized reserves on Sep- tember 12, to make a big show of our military strength. They think the ef- fect of this upon the world will be bad. As they see it, it will be “a warlike ges- ture” on the part of this country at a time when such gestures add to the fear the world has of another war. These pac- ifists think such a mobilization will have a yery bad effect in general and so they want the war department to cancel its plans and call the mobilization off. Much of this comes from ignorance of e of this constructive mo- bilization. It is not intended as a “war- like gesture” or anything of the kind. It is merely a test and a lesson for the disproyed by the records officers and men of the nation’s armed forces. It is carrying out the last part of a problem which the officers of the army, the national guard and the organ- ized reserves have been working upon than six months. All of this is plain, ordinary common sense. ‘It is like a company in the fire department assuming that a fire alarm has sounded so as to discover whether its plan for making a quick run to a fire 8 perfect and if every man knows what he is to do if such an alarm comes: The United States had no mobilization plan when the Great War came.

We succeeded after a fashion, but there are many graves filled with the best youth of America because we had no mobi ion plan and because | young men were called to the colors be- fore they could be properly clothed fed, cared for and trained for service. That will not happen again. The paci- fists are needlessly alarmed. They do not know what the ing 7 We do not wi “warlike ges | ture” and will not do it, But this coun- try will not be caught again as it was in 1917. If the need comes we will at least know what must be done and some peo- ple will know how to do it. We are wondering just what would be wrong or unwise in all this Safeguards “Ain't nature grand!” cries the flap- and for once the young lady is right. | Nature knows her stuff. Consider the emotion called fear. With- out if man would spend his days invit- ing aster and all the jitneyites in the land would race locomotives to the cross- ing. It is a safeguard to prolong man’s days. To fear death is to avoid it when possible. Yet when man’s end draws | near and his strength ebbs ay nature reverses herself and removes the fear of death in order to make the business of dying less dreadful. Consider fever The layman dreads it | He thinks it an enemy, whereas it is a | Stimulant provided by nature to speed up his heart and give him stamina to fight the bugs that have assailed him. Observe how quickly blood clots when is exposed to the air. W1 the big It is another of nature’s little schemes. When the apple of her eye is wounded the blood that escapes dries quickly to prevent further flow and to shut off germs. And consider man’s stomach, that is so frequently more dependable than his brain. Many times his brain if any, per- mits him to take aboard a cargo that will do him hurt but his stomach, thanks to nature’s wisdom sends it back. There is also the matter of choosing a mate. If sawed-off gentlemen delightéd in diminutive ladies, and the rangy chaps who stand six feet four in their soc were enamored of ladies as tall the race of men would divide itself into two groups—the one knee high to a duck andthe other as tall a door. Nature, however will not tolerate such goings on. She causes opposites to attract. The giant falls in love with a “cute little thing” and the short man selects a state- ly spouse, and neither realizes that he is a pawn in the game nature pla Finally, consider love. If all persons could see clearly there would be little inatrimony. Nature blinds ther children in order to get them mated and keep the race from dying out.

The Coolidge Rabbit-Foot The recent advance in the wheat mar- ket, which is a very conspicuous piece of commercial news has all the appear- ‘ance of an additional example of {Cool- idge luck.” It comes at a time to give ef- fective aid to the Republican party’s prospects at the beginning of a cam- paign when. the sentiments of the people are in the formative stage. Envious op- ponents in the LaFollette camp and else- where are contemptible enough to claim that the adyance is purely artificial and brought about by manipulation. of friends, but let “the galled jade wince.” Such is not the case, the advance came from natural causes and is proper and regular. = Quite naturally it affects the very sec- tion where the party is most in need of more reassuring conditions, and the northwestern farmers will inevitably feel new hope for their future and less hostility toward the federal administra- tion because of their brighter prospects. Perhaps it should not be so, but it is instinctive for us humans to blame the government when things go wrong and it is equally instinctive to let well enough alone when things are going righg. If it should prove that the wheat mar- unge is lucky for the Republicans, ery it will be only an instance of evening up the breaks. In this very mat- ter of wheat prices luck went hard against the G. O. P. last year. The Chi cago quotations dropped under a dollar u bushel at the climax of the Magnus Johnson campaign in Minnesota in July 1923, and although the: a few days, the slump probably did more to elect him than any other one influ- enc Hiram Johnson used to compfain pit- terly about the luck of President Cool- idge during the presidential primaries this year. Something always happened to help Coolidge whenever he needed it, the Californian said. It begins to seem possible now that Senator LaFollette may have to repeat the experience of his predecessor as a rival for Mr. Coolidge. if the wheat farmers get to feeling more cheerful he will lose his most powerful support in the campaign. Progress Versus Radicalism “The Republican staté committee has pitched upon the true issue of the presi- dential campaign in Oregon—it is sane progress versus radicalism,” proclaims the Portland Oregonian. The part of radicalism is not to be en by the Democratic party or candi- date. That party’s platform may be lib- eral, its candidate for vice president may be .visionary, but the conservatism of its nominee for president, and his nomi- nation despite the opposition of the ele- ments t wrote the platform, create az ing in appeal to thoughtful voters. ng of Oregon by Davis and Bryan youl optimistic hopes of the most optimistic of informed Democrats. Let there be no self-deception elsewhere. If any candidate other than Coolidge has chance to carry Oregon it igs LaFol- lette. “To say this is to speak of possible, not ‘ uly laid out. It is to rry the truth to the remotest parts of yed-——populism whose blight was long ] ng those communities which through appro’ of it obtained only business and industrial distress. It must be made clear that a vote for Davis is half a vote for LaFollette and half a vote against Coolidge. “There is need that all may understand that victory for LaFollette in the west nnot conceivably elect him president. It may deprive any candidate of a ma- jority, throw the election into the house and produce a chaos and bitterness dam- aging to American political institution: It can produce no good. In the end it would be conduciye to election of neith- er LaFollette’nor Davis.” Morey Letter By ELDEN SMALL This has grown to be such a large and respectable country that those new vot ers who watch the deodorized political methods now in yogue can hardly im- agine the old bitter partisan battles when scandal and personal attacks fea- tured largely the struggle for ballots. ll, the old order passed away only camparatively short time ago, If one lets his recollection go only so far back as the Garfield-Hancock cam- paign of 1880, he will find an excellent illustration.
