The old serapheap is all along the way of human progress, leading back to the dawn of civilization. It-is made up of the fragments of discarded theories and policies, tried and found wanting. It is the history of acti in governmental matters, that every so often some self- appointed prophet s in the land stirs up:the junk pile, seizes upon a fragment, polishes it up, surrounds it with plaus- ible propaganda and lo and behold, he becomes a Moses with orders from on high to drag the people out of the pit, where experience and well being have placed them, and where prosperity and contentment haye been theirs. By and large the Moseses have been numerous, but the regular ones haye been few. Mr. LaFollette has been Mosesing around for something like forty years, and he has led the children is Israel nowhere, except further into Egypt. The Wisconsin formula is all old out- worn stuff. It is simply that govern- ments should tax the thrifty for the bene- fit of the thriftless, that business enter. prises like our railway system are dam- nable and should be hamstrung and that by political fiat—governmental edict— prosperity can be madé to camp on the doorstep of every last one of us, no mat- ter how shiftless and incompetent we may be. In brief, the Wisconsin idea is defined as radicalism, which does not take into account the experience of hu- mantiy, nor profit by its successes and failures. It cannot succeed at the polls. Some people believe that the radicals may be numerous enough in the mid-western states to make the outright election of either Coolidge or Davis impossible and BSW ose LaFollette will draw far more from the Democrats. than from the Republicans, and that the November election will re- sult in a very comfortable majority in the electoral college for Cdolidge. Tue only states in which there is any belief that the third party ticket may prevail are Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Montana. But seven in these it is not considered at.all certain that such will be the outcome. Not in any western state is the opinion expressed that there is a possibility of the Democratic ticket winning. The Spirit of Radicalism The Reds of Europe, backing the Reds of America, are seeking in many v and under many disguises to develop socialism and: communism in tffis coun- try. Kecognizing the fact that if they can plant their doctrines in the minds of immature youths, male and female, in colleges, they will be able to secure re- sults which otherwise it might take 1y years longer to accomplish, there is a distinct movement on the part of the Reds and the Bolsheyfsts, and the So- cialists, and the Communists to develop through one phase or another, one move- ment or. another, a spirit which would look to the breaking down of all order- ly governments to carry out the doctrines of the Bolshevists, “to hell with all gov ernments, all churche: We are atheists! We are anare’ That is the spirit in which the of radicalism are seeking, in many ways, to undermine the 1 government, and one of the means adopted is to work their way into the colleges and bore from the inside. The Extremes It will be interesting to compare the campaign speeches of Messrs, Davis and Bryan. The two men look upon many public questions from wholly different viewpoints, and contradictions are li ly to be frequent. But, at that, the m I 1 will be perfectly consistent with the spirit in which the two men were Never was a more complete ed than when hed from a de- e of the usons that t Davis y before Davis-Bryan ticket. inspired the Commoner to indie and eulogize his brother the the nomination was made will move miny thousan of other Democrats. Candidate Davis not likely to stultify thus throw the presidential selection in- to the house, where most anything might happen. At present it does not appear that such a contingency as we have outlined will eventuate. The LaFollette move ment is that of an individual. He has following in a large geographical area, but numerically his supporters are not many. Heretofore the radical movement has shown itself to be more injurious to the Democratic than to the Republican vart ‘ At any rate, whatever the prospect of congress choosing the president to suc- ceed Coolidge, the issue is definite, “Pro- gressiveness,” which is but another term for radicalism, is represented solely by LaFollette. i Sanity, safety, constitutional govern- ment and the preservation of those things which are dear to the people are assured by the election of either Cool- idge or Davis. An Early Forecast Reports received by a national non- political interest from Republican edi- tors throughout the count giving a re- view of the political situation in their several localities are extremely favor- able auguries of a splendid Republican victory in November. The reviews of the political outlook were not given for political effect but as an accurate statement of conditions soon after the three tickets were named. Local public opinion as gathered by edi- tors shows the line of reasoning voters adopt. The fact that Republican editors do not underestimate the possible effect of the third party ticket shows that their statements have been made with an ef- fort to. picture the situation accurately rather than for the purpose of building up a spirit of optimism. Briefly summed up, the concensus of opinion gathered from hundreds of let ters from editors is that Republicans generally are not only satisfied but highly pleased with the nominees of their party; that there are many Democrats who are dissatisfied with one or two other of their party nominees; that there are many Democrats who will vote for Coolidge and Dawes but no Republicans will vote for Davis and Bryan, that there are both Republicans and Democrats are whe will yote for LaQollette, but that the system is contrary to the public ins free under the himself by altering principles. or habits tc ommodate W. J. Bryan, and Candidate Bryan is not likely to depart from the stand that has made him pop- ular with Nebraska Democrats. A lot of intelligent Democrats in the ez and in the west are not so facile in their po- ’. J. Bryan has proved and will find it i ible wernor Bryan or Mr. Dayis, as the case may be. They are more likely to turn from the whole ticket in disgust and yote for Coolidge and Daw whose record they know and whose minds run along together. Business and Crops Business sentiment is bettex than thir- ty days ago. Considering the usual mid- summer dullness, consumption is well maintained and seasonal demand should resui‘ in improvements in trade during the autumn months, Production ben further restricted in some lines and while there is no shortage of merchan- dise, it is felt that the time is not far off when reduced stocks will justi higher rate of industrial output. The agricultural outlook continues to be the largest single factor in determin- ing the prospects for fall busin The wheat estimate of July 1, is for a total crop of 740,000,000 bushels, 47,000,000 bushels above the estimate of June 1. The crop is moving at a profitable price and trade will be better in the main wheat growing sections during the au- tumn months. The lateness of the corn and cotton crops has deprived the July estimates of much of their usual value. The out-turn of both crops is yet a matter of conjec- ture. The condition of corn on July 1, was 72, the lowest eyer reported. With extraordinarily favorable weather and a late frost the yield might even yet be much better than the forecast but un- fayorable weather and an early frost would probably result in the smallest crop of merchantable corn harvested in a generation, A high price for corn is no compensa- tion for a poor yield on a large acreage. Except in limited areas, corn is not a h crop. It is marketed as hogs, cattle, dairy and poultry products. According to the United States department of agri- culture, during the last five years an average of only 19 per cent of the corn crop left the county in which it was produced and a large part of this corn was eventually used for feeding live stock within the United States. Many factors besides the price of corn will have a bearing on the prices at which livestock sell and the corn belt not be assured of prices high enough to offset the disadvantages of a short corn crop. Dollar corn does not neces- arily mean prosperity for those farm ers whose major crop it i Pittsburgh-Plus After a long and stubborn fight, the federal trade commission has ordered the United States Steel corporation to aban- don the Pittsburgh plus system of deter- mining the price of steel. The commission held to be an unfair method of competition the stem b, which the corporation and its subsida ies put prices on rolled steel products manufactured by and shipped from the plants outside Pittsburgh at a Pitts burgh base pr! plus an amount equiv- alent to what the ight charge would be from that city. The practice thus was found to be a violation.of the federal trade commission act, and further to con- stitute a means of price discrimination in violation of the Clayton act. The commission held specifically that sper he { terest, not based on the law of supply | and demand, is the price fixing system | sueceeding the old steel “pools,” “Gary | dinners,” and other methods and that it }is made possible by the alleged domina- ‘tion of the steel industry by the United States Steel Corporation. It also held that the Pittsburgh plus system lessens and eliminates competition, retards busi- ness ha all steel centers except Pitts- burgh and adds greatly to the cost ef steel products. It adds $30,000,000 a year | to the cost of steel to farmers in eleven western states. Summarizing in the announcement of its order what it believes would be the effect of abandonment of the system, the commission id it would build up all | steel producing and consuming sections outside of Pittsburgh; return to the west- |ern and southern steel users the natural adyantage of their location; decentralize the steel industry and industries using steel products, enforce price competition among the steel producers, and elimi- nate other alleged evils in the industry. The commission in its order, forbade the United States Steel corporation or its subsidiaries from quoting any steel price without listing separately the price of the steel and the transportation charge. Thus ends one of the greatest econ- nomic abuses the country has ever known. The Air Mail In the’ first trip eastward from San Francisco the air mail planes carried than 8,000 pieces of mail, and | paid in revenue for the | service. This was about $540 more than | the service cost the government, That is the Republican way of doing business, even new business. If a few planes can show such a profit, what could a larger ‘number show? Tp connection with the trans-continen- alair mail service, an interesting story is toll by the post office department. |A man in San Francisco, desiring to get ja little extension of credit by way of check-kiting, drew a check on a New York bank, thinking that by the time it returned to be honored, he: would® be able to meet it handily. However, the New York bank returned the check by air mail, much to the gentleman’s sur- prise, and three or four days before he had looked for its return he found him- se!f up against a protested check. He will be more careful in the future. Pride in Industry The first thing a union looks at when he receives nouncement is to see if it bears the union Jabel. He will look at your hat to see if it was union-made. All of us should adopt't attitude toward goods “made in Aner! and we should include in our “pride in industry” movement in ad- dition to the manufacturer and retailer, the laboring man, who is one of the chief beneficiaries of a protected market. | The Issues , _In the Republican platform there are thirty-four different issues; running from such vital ones as further reduction of taxes down to such minor ones as gov- }ernment promotion of commercial ayia- | tion. | In the Democratic platform are forty- | five issues, from tariff revision and hon- sty in government to ones so compara- trivial as extension of the proba- tion system to federal courts, or so re- mote as drafting property as well as man-power in time of war. La Follette’s platform has forty-four issues, from such fundamental ones as public ownership of the railroads and ending the power of the supreme court declare tutes unconstitutional down to such remote ones as requiring a popular referendum for the declaration of war, and such undisputed ones as the collection of the debts due us from Eu- ropean nations. , During the campaign these various is- sues will be sifted as to their import- ance and be elaborated by the partie: Upon them and the ability of the par- ties to enforce them, either through leg- islation or administration, will the bat- tle be fought out. Pans Tariff Plank “Tf there was statesman worthy of the name at New York, he certainly was not placed on the platform committee.” This is the opinion of G. T. McElderry, of Birmingham, Alabama, a Democrat and president of the Farmers’ Educational and Co-operative Union. Mr. McElderry particularly displeased with the tariff plank of the New York platform, and, in expressing his views of the plat- form and the convention did not mince words, In part he said: “It has been truly said that ‘donkeys and fools never change,” The Underwood low, tariff permitted vegetable oils to come into this country almost free, re- sulting in the impoverishment of farm- ers, bankrupting’ merchants, destroying the cottonseed oil industry and solidify- ing bank eredits. Hundreds of millions of pounds of peanuts, peanut oil, soy bean oil was imported from Manchuria, absolutely destroying our market for cottonseed, peanuts and fats. There was practically no demand, and farms were sold for taxes and the doors of mer- chants were closed because the farmers could not cash their products to meet their obligations. “The Fordney emergency tariff raised the price of cotton seed to $60 per ton and the p: of peanuts to $140 per ton, with practically an unlimited demand, and yet the Democrats at New York were foolish enough to denounce the Vordney tariff, which had saved the south from | bankruptcy, | “All credit to the Repoblican leaders for having patriotism enough to save the south from Democratic bungling and asinine theorists who pretend to rep- resent the south in congress.

General Chester A. Arthur, be- came president of the United States be- cause he was fired out of a federal ap- pointive job during a reform clean-up a few years before. Arthur, principal Roscoe Conkling po- litical lieutenant in New York state, was for six years collector of customs for the port of New York City, 1872 to ‘IS78. There were complaints about the conduct of the office, and when a special investigating commission headed by John Jay, noted civil service reformer, demanded a clean-up. Arthur was asked by Secretary John Sherman to resign. He declined and was removed in 1878. Two years later, Sherman was a presi- dential’ candidate, but was defeated in convention supporter, General dames A. € yas nominated. To salye Conk] ew York, Arthur was named for second p) ‘ot long after the inauguration, Garfield was shot, and Arthur became president. To the Poets of Wyoming By JULESIE STEWART We hear of “Poet Laureates” Throughout these states of ours, How some good folks are striving To wear all of the lowers. vainly against Mt. Everest, comes to the rescue of the enterprise and de- clares that the Royal Geographical Soclety does quite right to encourage these successive attempts to scale the terror of the Himalays. Aside from the fact that English- men, whenever they see a high mountain, “ache to get to the top of it,” and that the supply of un- scaled mountains is fast diminishing, Captain Finch asserts that the Mt. Everest expeditions, though unsuc- cessful, have already proved of the greatest interest and value to sci- ence. For example, the Everest climbers learned, what nobody knew before, that the human organism can gra- dually become accustomed to rarified atmospheres. Twenty years ago the Thibetans and Nepalese, hardy mountain folks, stuck closely to their customary altitudes of 15,000 feet; today, says Captain Finch, they were carrying weights at 25,000 feet. The English, thanks to their con- finual mountaineering experiments, are now moving troops about the Himalayas with a freedom undream- ed of a few years ago. Life is still impossible on the top of Mt. Everest, but life on the sides has a freedom and flexibility never before achieved. Not only the natives but white men and women—sometimes semi-invalids —establish themselves comfortably at heights in the Himalayas hitherto reserved for the ‘most stout-earted surveyors. In fact, the Himalayas are destined to be another playground, like the Alps, in the judgment of this ex- perienced mountaineer. Nevertheless, the way of the pio- neers is painful in the extreme. When Leigh-Mallory, the young English hoolmaster, and his companion Ir- vine, the one-time Oxford oarsman, lit their noonday campfire at 26,000 feet to thaw out their scanty rations, the fire had so little oxygen to con- sume that it raged and leaped sev- eral feet h'gh with, however, so little actual heat in the flame that the two men held their hands in it without discomfort. And the'coldest wind in the world blew likega steady hur ricane. ‘The conquest of Mt. Everest is ap- parently no Christmas holiday. ea The Most Used Room The bathroom is really the most used room in the house. It is also the most important.
