LaFollette’s attempt to destroy the party which for years has been heaping honors upon him, is find- ing vent in speeches and resolutions as the lines for a bitter fight in Wisconsin are drawn closer, Recently, when a Coolidge and Dawes club was organized in Milwaukee, a res- olution was adopted dedlaring “any candidate for public office who styles himself a Republican candidate and does. not support such platform and openly advocates the election of Coo lidge and Dawes is a wolf in sheep's clothing and is perpetrating a fraud upon the voters. In Walworth county, a rich farming and dairying region, where the apostles of discontent and socialism have been able to make little progress, the regu- lar Republicans have built up a strong anization under the leadership of 66 committeemen, two for each precinct. At the latest meeting this shot was di- rected at LaFollette: “We condemn radicalism in all its forms, whether under the cloak of com- hr One munism, socialism, progressivism or any other guise, ag dangerous to the constitution, to industry and to the liberty and welfare of the people. We believe in government by the people, not by the individual.” The gathering also condemmed the administration of Goy. John J. Blaine and indorsed the candidacy of A. R. Hirst, who is opposing the governor for the Kepublican nomination. Similar ae- tion is planned by the regular Republi- cans in each of the 71 counties. The regulars fear La¥ollette, through the peculiar primary election !aw he placed upon the statute books, may try to pre- vent Coolidge electors from being placed upon the Republican ballot. Former Goy. Emanuel L, Phillipp is urging regulars to call a platform con vention apart from the one that may fall into the grip of LaFollette, for the purpose of placing Coolidge electors before the voters, on the theory that the senator is not a Republican. Philipp is outspoken in his belief that the third party will make an attempt in Wiscon- sin to keep the President’s name off of the Republican ballot if LaFollette dom- inates the platform convention which will convene im September after the state primary Keeping Us Out of War Governor Charles W. Bryan is anoth- bird who wants to keep us out of war. Like some other distinguished pptriotic posers, in days gone by, he wants to keep us out of war by destroy- ng the means of defending ourselves against some other power who hasn't destroyed its war implements and vould like to exploit our country be- ause we were defenseless. That theory would hold water if al nations united in military unprepared- ness. But where one nation. failx to maintain Itself; as George Washington said, “in a respectable posture of de fense,” and some other nation, with greater belief in force, keeps prepared Jor war, the pious intentions of pact fism are poor means of defense against aggresion. The attitude of Governor Bryan re calls that of his brother, William Jen lings Bryan, who in 1916 was touring the country telling the American peo ple that the way to keep out of war way to refuse to prepare for war, ‘The m didn’t work so very well, As the result of that policy billions of dol lars and thousands of American lives w lost that would not have teen ed if the American government had faced the situation squarely and made the necessary preparations for a war nto which we were drifting while Col onel Bryan was preaching the “he kept us out of war’ bunk. s country worth preserving aud Is 1t true that we have # people in this country who seem to think it is not. They accept, with complacency, the fact that soviet Russia is urmed to the teeth and plan- ning world conquest. They see no sig- nificance in the fact that Europe has larger aggregate standdig mies tor day than before the World war. They choose to ignore the fact that the wealth of this nation is the envy of the world, and no conscientious scruples would prevent any one of several European and Asiatic nations from mpting conquest of this country if they thought they could get away with it. Colonel Bryan has been describing the terrors of “militarism” for many years. He saw in the z tion of the Philippines the beginning of an era of American conquest, yet the United States has attacked no nation since that time except in actual self-defense. Col- onel Bryun saw in our, little standing army of a dozen years ago a force that capitalists weae assembling to shoot down the workingman, yet Amer. ican regulars have not shot a working man in all the years that have inter. vened. The opposition to reasonable prepar edness in this country is both stupid and unpatriotic. The argument tuat unpreparedness for war will prevent war is as logical as the statement that to burn down all our hospitals and kill all our physicians would bring an end to disease. The lesson of the last few Years see to have been lost on some people. We were backed into the Eu ropean war by an administration head ed by pacifists elected on campaign pledges to avoid war. Our unprepared ness did not save us; it exposed us to the insults and attacks of a power which would never have driven the United States into the war against her except that our display of weakness in Mexico had led to the belief that we were too proud to fight. There is more of the threat of war in the agitation of the pacifists than in the activities of the militarists, On National Defense Mr. Coolidge has won the applause of all real defenders of the nation by his spirited reply to a representative of one of the various aid societies for the abolition of war, who saw fit to criticise the president for his indorse- ment of the observance of National De- fense Day, September 12th next. The president states that while “un- qualifiedly sympathetic with the aim and purpose to make war, so nearly as might be, an impossibility in this world, T cannot see any inconsistency in giv- ing my approval to the program of De- fense day.” The president never uttered mone sensible or logical words than when he wrote: “I wish erime’ might be abol- ished, but I would not therefore abol- ish courts and police protection. I wish war might be made impossible; but I would not leave my country unpro- tected meanwhile.” 5 It is unalterably true that “our gov- ernment is compelled to confront the realities of the world.” Of prepared- ness the president wrote “there can be no doubt that failure to prepare for the possibility of war at a time when that possibility was imminent, resulted in great hardship, unnecessary expense and the unjustifiable prolongation of the World war. To say this is but to state what everybody knows.” There is far greater peril to the na- tion from the non-resistance doctrine of the various groups of pacifist organ: izations in the land than from any sort of a celebration of National Defense doy . Those who would abolish our army and sink our navy and destroy our coast defense guns and forts, are but misguided allies of other nations that might be our active enemies. Professional pacifism is one of our greatest dangers today. It is a disease. If carried to its logical conclusion it will lead to national impotence and decay. Lesson of Rising Prices There is one outstanding lesson from the rise of prices that has occurred in grain, hogs and cotton, which ought not to be lost. It is that the low prices in all of these products were due simply to excessive supplies, a condition that Gould be remedied in only one way, viz.: by smaller production, Legislation can do nothing for a state of over-produe: tion, Measures to support prices arti- ficially have the effect of continuing the over-production instead of correct. ing it, and no matter how rich a coun- try may be it cannot afford to subsi- dize people to produce things that are not wanted and which cannot be sold on the markets in the usual way at remuneratiye prices. There is no end to such subsidies, except in final aban- donment, because the situation does not naturally correct itself so long as they are continued. They influence people to Keep on with operations that are un- needed by the public and unprofitable to themselves, Let It be clearly understood that there never is a state of general overproduc- n. It is absurd'to say that the world can produce more of anything than it wants. If the reader has any doubts upon this point, let hint consider how much he, nfayelt, lacks of having every- thing he wants, employment and un remunerative prices always result from unbulanced industry. Something is wrong with the exchanges; too much of some things are offered and not enough of others, or some of the groups In the industrial circle are trying to “hog it” by insisting upon terms of exchange which throw the siluation out of bal ance, Prices supply the silent, never. falling influence which restores the balance, Industry will recover jis balance most readily without regulation or artificial inducements. In view of the heavy stocks of hog products in storage in re cent months, the inability of packers te Che Casper move them even at low prices, and fi- nally the rush of immature pigs to mat- ket when the farmers realized that pig production had outrun corn production what folly it would have been to have subsidized hog production by the Me- Nary-Haugen measure! Now the situa- tion is correcting itself, and a supply of hogs corresponding to the supply of feed for them will be marketed, at re- munerative prices. The price of hogs has advaned naturally, practically to the goal set in the MeNary-Haugen bill. It is evident now that ‘no great sur- plus of any of the farm staples has existed, and that only a moderate read justment of production was required, The alarming statemeiits to the effect that agriculture was a ruined indus- try which was about to be generally abandoned, leaving the nation without an adequate food supply, were prepos- terous, as everybody might have known. The story of the development of har- vesting machinery, to which another chapter is added by the combined har- vester and thresher cxplains why there has been a constant move- ment from the farms to the cities without any resulting scarcity of farm products. The truth is that people do not move from the farms to the other industries as readily as they should. The natural increase of population on the farms, aided by the improvements in machinery, has had a. tendency to keep the production of the farm staples uhead of the growth of the country’s population and the foreign demand. ‘The war provided a temporary demand which gave ‘an additional stimulus to production, and the return of peace has required a corresponding readjustment. The rise of prices now witnessed shows how small that readjustment needed to be, and incidentally how inherently strong is the actual position of agricul- ture, with the population of this coun. try increasing at the rate of 1,500,000 per year. 4 In His Home State The Butte, Montana, Daily Post, pub- lished in Mr. Wheeler's home state and in the midst of Wheeler's past activi- ties, has this to say in the present situ- ation: In Butte and elsewhere in Montana Senator Wheeler’s acceptance of second plae on the LaFollette ticket is news that is no surprise. To be sure, he did some posing about it—that as a matter of course. The only surprising part of the thing is that most Montanans as- sumed, quite as a matter of, course, that the LaFollette ticket makers could do better; it had not been suspected out here that the Wisconsin senator and his associates were so mighty hard up for a man for second place. Senator Wheeler's public career has a conspicuous feature in the fact that, when it comes to a nomination, he is ready and willing to accept it from any old thing in the shape of a party, real or alleged. In 1920, at a non-partisan league convention, when he wag in com- radeship with Dunne and other reds, he announced, as then was published, that he’ would accept the nomination for governor on any ticket—it was all the same to him. He ran and was de- feated. With the story of the fluke by which he captured the federal sen- atorship, all Montanans are familiar. How will Senator Walsh, himself a third-term candidate and a conspicu- ous trumpeter for the Davis-Bryan ticket—how will he relate himself to the LaFollette-Wheeler ticket in Mon- tana? Naturally he would, in common consistency, be expected to repudiate an offer of LaFollette indorsement for his senatorial candidacy. Besides, State Senator Anderson is regularly in the running for the federal senatorship as a Farmer-Laborite candidate. Will the LaFollette campaign managers, in their Montana operations, permit him to be ignored—of all things for the sake of Senator Walsh? , However, this is exlusively the af- fair of Walsh and Wheeler and the Montana Democracy; this state's Re- publicans have nothing whatever to do with the entanglement that is thus pre- sented. For them the only practical factor in the new development is that, beyond a doubt, the rivalry over presi- dential candidates, under the leadership of Montana’s two Democratic senators; will make Coolidge doubly sure of this state’s electoral vote. Thus the LaFol lette-Wheeler campaign is, quite as a matter of course entitled to the appro- val of the Coolidge supporters in Mon tana. Fistic Solons By ELDEN SMALL Human nature is apparently much the same when. it sits in congress or in national political conventions ag it is outside; it has the: same tendency to emotional stress and outbreak. Occa- sional fistic exhibitions between sena- tors and congressmen make their way into American history—as in every other country on the map, Precedent for the battles of statesmen in ‘the halls of our nattonai legislation was really established buck In the win- ter of 1798, when congress saw Its very first fight during a seuslon, The star of this first fight was Congressman Matthew Lyon of Vermont, who, in the heat of a verbal scrap, walked over to the seat of a Connecticut conferee who had insulted him, and spat in his face. An immediate fight wos averted by other. members, who led the nutmeg state solon out of the hall, ‘ Effort to expel Lyon for the tncident failed the required two-thirds yote, although it earried 52 to 44. Some days later the Gonneettcut man attacked Lyon in the House with a heavy cane, while Lyon selzed a palit of tongs from the fireplace near and fought back. Another attempt te expel Lyon failed, and the fight beeame historic, There are said to be seme politicians who were sorry ta see the price of wheat go up, Ji causes their stock to go down, Story of John Smith , By IDA OLIVER John Smith was a farmer's son—hon- estlic : His nyther called him Jack—affece tiouutely.
