Does it mean the yice president who shall have been recently selected by the senate— that is, Dawes or Bryan—assuming that the senate will not be deadlocked and will select one of the two? { Or does it means something else? Does it mean that the man who has all along been vice president shall be president? In the present situation we have no such pre-existing vice president, for Coolidge who was vice president, has succeeded to the presidency. There is a school of thought which in- sists that the constitution does not mean that the vice president newly selected by the senate (that is, Dawes or Bryan) shall be president, but means that’ the presidency shall be filled ’in the ordi- nary manner of succession in the case of disability of the president. If this school Hiundreds of farmers, anticipating tries, are holding their wheat for the gain they feel sure will be theirs by not marketing it at once. x4 No one section is cornering this wealth—the condition is similiar throughout the entire wheat belt, com- prising the western two-thirds of the state. But the contrast with last year’s conditions is especially pronounced in the southwestern part of the state, where “busted” farmers of fourteen coun- ties last year appealed to grain dealers; chambers of commerce and other organi- zatious throughout the country for as- sistance in buying the seed necessary to » another crop possible. st year, unable to buy a few bushels of wheat to seed their crops, this year they are shipping in thousands of dol- lars worth of new implements, building material and automobiles. There also will be a bumper. crop of corn, according to the estimates of crop conditions by statisticians of the state and federal departments of agriculture. i SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

Reg: efore 8 0 The Matter of Voting For once we would like to s¢ expression of the voters of this at the primaries in August and the el tion in November. We would like to » the voters se the best men and women offered as candidates the prim and then see them placed in office ber. We would like to see Republi cans yote for Republicans and Demo: crats vote for Democrats, but in any event we would line to see a big vote polled. . The man or woman who does not t part in public affairs—and expres’ his choice of candidates for office one of the princi parts he must play —forfeits all conside ion at the hand of his fellow citizens, who do vote, when it comes to checking up the perform- ances of the chosen office holder. Yet it iny ibly follows that the per- son who does not yote is the loudest in criticism and he rather blames the per: son who does yote, for the kind and q 1 ng is ity of officials who are ¢ non-voter does not stop to that his own negligence is the cause of ninety per cent of the inferior quality of public office holders.

If you don’t vote and don’t take part you are entitled to no kick if things are not conducted to suit you. ___The Kansas Wheat Crop There is a mighty cheerful story com- ing out of Kansas this harvest, and it may be said that Kansas is not alone in her optimism. She is joined in her cheer fulness by such sister states as Minne- sota, the Dakotas and Montana. It all arises over bumper wheat crops in these commonwealtls. And not the least good the joyfulness is accomplishing is kick- ing all the sawdust out of the Lalollette calamity propaganda, It is most dif- ficult as Me . LaFollette and Wheel- er haye already discovered, to combat prosperity with gloom. To oppose the benign program of high heayen with false doctrine. But to the Kansas story—the story thut tells of the replacing of oil by wheat us a source of rapid wealth in the sun- flower state. Poor tenant farmers, who have strug: gled for years, many of them in the southwestern part of the state who were compelled to appeal to the publie for d wheat loans last fall to seed this rs crop today find themselves althy, Many others who had purchased farms with small payments and who ex pected to have mortgages hanging over them for years, are in u position to pay off those morts » buy more land, build new houses and barns, or purchas: motor cars and other things they have denied themselves for, year Kansas’s unprecedented wheat lias produced all this wealth, and \ rising prices, promises to conyert this of thought is correct it would seem to follow that, since there is no ¥ presi- dent now in office, the succession would descend upon the secretary of state, ac- cording to the presidential succession act of 1886, which provides that the succes- sion passes down through the secretary of state, the secretary of the treasury, Resent Use of Term Friends of Theodore Roosevelt resent the use of the terms “progressive” by LaFollette. They see a marked differ- ence between a “progressive” and a so- cialist and soviet sympathizer. They re- call that LaFollette was a foe to Roose-| velt when he advocated progressive prin-| the secretary of war and soon. ciples.

This is the same Senator Wheeler whose | exploitation and championship of such noteworthy paragons of pure white truth and virtue as Gaston B.

One Man Party Tt is announced that there will be no official notification for Senator LaFol- lette, socialist candidate for, president. That, indeed, would be quite superfluous for Senator Lalollette notified the Cleveland convention of his nomination even before it was held. However, should the senator change his plang in this re- spect, we suggest that both the notifie ation speech and the acceptance speech be delivered by Senator LuFollette. | | I { t ‘ter instead of own to find a can’t be too careful in times 5 You decide to sleep with your gat under ‘our pillow. ya x You don’t sleep well.

President Madison remembered as a diplomat of ability, was able to “talk up” when nee- essary. While this country and Great Britain were at the verge of open war over Brit- ish insistance upon the right to search American vessels at sea an‘l impress sailors, George Canning, England's for- eign minister, after offering this country studied insult, sent Jackson, fire-eating diplomat as envoy to this country. Jack- om, received by Madison, bore himself so tolerantly and made such ‘insulting in- sinuations against this government that he sternly rebuked in a letter by the president, who requested his further ications be in writing. nm reiterated his allegations, when Madison wrote him curtly: “Sir— Finding that in your reply of the 4th inst. you have used a language whick cannot be understood but as reiterating and even aggravating the same gross insin- uations, it only remains for me, in order to preclude oppértfinities which are thus abused, to inform you that no further nunciations will -be received from The situation led to war some time Lines and’ Angles By TED OSBORNE Gwendolyn Embarrasses me Sometimes.

On the basis of this percentage Wyoming will have close to 1,500,000 lambs compared with 1,300,000 in 1923 and 1,000,000 in 1922.
