If candidates write platforms to suit the exigencies of the campaign, it is evident that the party has been swallowed by the candi- s is autocratic, not democratic If America is to have that continuity of policy essential to progr there must be a return to responsible party government. President Harding spok this and I lent Cooli sized it in his recent acceptance. This means that men of character as- sociate themselves together to advance policies which have stood the test of ex- perience. Thoughtful Republicans and Democrats alike are recognizing the soundness of this principle and are giv- ing their support to candidates who stand squarely by their party platform without veering to every passing breeze of passion or prejudice in an endeavor to catch votes. To a degree a political party is like the organization of a great army, re- quiring loyalty in all its smallest w if the principles are to he succes: other y in opposi- ertly and honestly its opponent, Ps ither. a contract ¢ It is the privilege andidates to stand and upon the s written by the convention re- doubts which Mey entertain as to indi vidual candidates in favor of supporting the political party with whose policies they in general sympathy and to which they belong. In this a far greater degree of co-operation is secur- ed and party unity and strength is built up for the service of the entire nation. In the final analysis the strength of any party must rest upon its strength in each town and county of the nation, as it is absolutely dependent upon the local or- Pe tion for insuring the proper pre- sentation of its case to the voters. In the present situation of national affairs, the sober second thought of the people is turning more and more to Cal- vin Coolidge and Charles G. Dawes. The people know they are ®=stworthy, and 1 judge by their pa rds what per formance they will re in the future. John W. Davis and Charles W. Bryan are hopeless as a combination and hope: as individuals, Robert M. LaFol- and Burton K, Wh cannot be sted with the institutions of the re. public. They would wreck them, The platforms of the Democratic and Socinti es cannot be approved by and the candidates es are ignoring the forms upon which they stand. When they do this they are at sea so far as policy is concerned. They become es. And it is not + when the peo: four years, it sident avd the presidents’ party fulfilling the promises contained in the platform, and which the people either favor or disap: prore. less Free Speech and Jat satae 7 That un-American association, querading under the misleading title of the American Civil Liberties Union, has circulated pamphlets containing the fol- lowing bald assertion, betraying its po- sition to dd the government of the United States: “No alien should be deported merely mas- for the expression of opinion or for membership jn ¢ revolution ary movement. * nship papers | should not be refused y alien becanse of expressed radical views or activities in the cause of labor. There should be no prosecution for mere expression of opin jon on matters of public Lic concern how 1, however violent. * * * The 1 of all opinions, however ob Siould be tolerated. * * * For noxiou instance, the advocacy of murder, unac. companied by any act, is within the leg. itimate scope of free speech,” There can be no such thing as abso. lutely free speech. It must be so eyen _|any perfec! “| time the religion of Christ has made the within the family circle. No father would be allowed to endanger the mor- als‘of this children by freely speaking of matters which civilization has de- creed shall be taboo under such circum- stances as referred to. All decent men and women, friendly to the United States, have the feeling that they have all the liberties they long for in the matter of speech. It is only those who would destroy the very fabric of society and tear down the flag who com- plain of restrictions. The quoted extracts from the pam- phlets cirenlated by the American Civil Liberties Uniorm reveal the hideous na- ture of that organization. It i induce the people of the U: to vote for Robert M. LaFollette and Burton K. Wheeler. In LaFollette and Wheeler, the men and women of the Civil Liberties Union who believe in such damnable doctrines as are set forth in the literature from which we quote, feel certain that they. have found candidates for the presidency and vice presidency respectively, who share their views. They are right. All good Americans will refuse to give sanction and support to such doctrines and subversive beliefs and will repudiate at the polls the can- didates f6r important political places favored by such a traitorous crew. Preachings and Practices John W.

Forgetting His Dope, The Howling Dervish of the United States senate, Robert M. LaFollette, is neither howling nor deryishing in the same key as he was, say sixty days ago. He as taken cogn nee of the fact that old jazz rankly rendered is no induce- ment for good dancers to dance. For instance he fails. now to mention government ownership of railroads and the LaFollette program to make it pos- sible for congress to overrule supreme court decisions on the constitutionality of laws passed by congress b: thirds vote. Neither has he an} y on the proposed measures for farm relief which have been before congress. Lesson For Some The Soviet government of Russia has not only decided to manufacture more goods at home in lieu of importing them. but has also determined to limit impo tations to 90 per cent of the exporta- tions. Both of these plans will operate lop home industry and the latter ill servie to ure a balance of ei favor of Rus: trade Whiftever may be. thought of the plan to gauge imports by exports, it is cer- tain that it is good policy for any nation to produce at home everything natural to its soil and climate, instead of depend- ing upon foreign countries therefor. Tt provides employment for its inhabitants and tends to make it economically inde- pendent both in peace and in war. That is a lesson which the free-trade Demo- erats of the United States haye yet to learn. Protection leads to increased produc- tion, which, in turn, leads to prosper- ity. Some of us, at least, can learn of the Soviet government. Dawes to Tell Them General Dawes has never lacked the courage to carry the war into the enemy country. And he has never lacked the courage to tell the enemy, what, in his opinion is good for them. Therefore, when the general visits Milwaukee on tember 15, to address the hosts of La- Pollette, he is certain to tell them some- thing they should have known a long time ago about the cause for which they have been fighting these twenty years, These people are due to learn of the falseness of their cause and the false- ness of their leader ag viewed from the standpoint of a loyal and deyoted Amer- ican, What they hear will be good for their souls, whether they can see it and feel it or not, The Nation's Basis True religion has built this nation. Eternal spiritual realities have been the fountain that has nourished it. Its ideal- ism, its sense of responsibility for oth- ers, sacredness of per and reve ence for the common task have come from the type of its religion. The New Testament has been its (marter of rights. The found lieved in God and dared kings in Europe and unknown seas and wild conditions in this ting land that they might worship God according to the dictates of their conscience. They wor. hiped God but insisted finally on the separation of church and state. The first thing they did when two or more fam- ilies settled close together was to meet on Sunday one-of the log homes and hold a service. Soon they started a school for their children and met.to talk over the common interests, likewise in a home. Through all the generations since that nation strong and true and in so far as the people have failed to follow its teach. distance of several |.\” Che Casper Sunday Cribune ings the record has been marred. Indif- ference to spiritual relationships, tasks and responsibilities are the threatening dangers of today. Keep the fires of true religion burning ‘on the altars of the homes and churches and there will be wisdom, courage, patience, sacrifice and howe for whatever the future has in store for our beloved country. Constitution Threatened Careful students of present day condi- tions are concernedtor the constitution and the high civilization which it has nourished. Hon. James M. Beck in his recent book on the constitution gives a startling arraignment of the disintegrat- ing influences at work in the United States, in the commercialized press, in the brutalized spirit that supports prize fighting, in the type of conventions of our political parties and the lower type of men who seek the office of president of the ited States, in the lawlessness. and graft whjch have become a science, and in that “pleasure has become the great end of life and work but a means to that end.” There are thousands in this land who deliberately seek its ruin —they receive their inspiration from Moscow. Thirty tons of literature cap- tured by the government in Michigan, was prepared in Russia, and urged the workers to destroy all belief in God, the nation ,the home, the school and the rights of property. Bootleggers—Two Kinds Aliens are run into the comtry along ast line and our borders. So prevalent had th form of bootleg- ging become that President Harding ap- pealed to the executive branches of the ion to stop this lawless entrance of housands of undesirable persons. Boats have bene captured with fifty persons of this kind on board for the landing of whom Nie owners of the ship received $500 per capita. Bootleggers of liquor ve defied our law and our constitu- ional amendment, and there are those who purchase the liquors. A man who deliberately breaks a law for profit or to gratify his appetite is as much a trai- $ Arnold, and is more . He undermines the law-abid- The indifferent citizen endangers the country, The officers of the law will not go, in the enforcement of our laws, far beyond the sentiments and demands of the citizens. During the war we we: ere against the eyader of responsib it It is even more important that a stern justice be meted out to those who Uefy the nation’s authority. The convie- ti ind co-operation of the people are conditions of law enforcement.— Eye: conununity should build over against i self. This sentiment is growing in the United States, and the days to come will nereasingly hard for the law-breaker and the scofflaw. The World’s Gold The stock of gold in the United States is shown by the August 1 report to haye risen above $4,500,000,000, this country now owning one-half or more of the world’s gold supply. This opinion was based on the last report by the director of the mint, in which it’ was estimated that the whole world’s stock of gold at the end of 1922 amounted to $9,210,007,- 000. It was pointed out, howeve' the conclusion did not necessarily low. At the date for which the world’s stock of gold was estimated at $9,210,007, 000, the gold holdings of this country were figured at $3;933,000,000, or “4234 per cent of the total. Our own holdings have inereased since then, but the tend- ency of recent years has been for thé gold holdings of the world at large to increase even more rapidly. During the calendar year 1922, for instance, while the American. stock of gold increased 273,000,000, the mint estimate of the}: world’s total stock showed an increase of £520,000,000. 4 Economic Drift Countryward “Economic mecessity, it seems, is at work even today with the problem of righting the ance of our overgrown cities,” notes the Boston Transcript in the editorial on ‘Back to the Land’ in which the Transcript quoted Mr. Ford as saying that ‘the modern city has done its work and a change is coming. it was said that ‘up to the present moment the correction of the tendency (to over- growth) has not manifested itself? but the quotation from Mr, Ford may be amended and perhaps this statement modified. There are some evidences of a change taking place, or at least prepar- ing. ew York, the most outstanding ill- ustration of overgrowth, is today feeling the effect of uneconomical conditions. The printing industry is a notable ex- nple, The notoriously extravagant ba- s of things there has created an arti- i and unsound attitude toward things economic among all classes, ap- parently, and the natural laws have been defied to the breaking point. Many pub- lishing houses have found it impractic- able to continue in New York under the conditions, and are establishing their manufacturing plants in smaller local- ities, where the stress of life is not so great, and wage demands. are lighter, though other overhead costs may be the tame. : “Even executive work cannot all be concentrated in wne place, and we have a recent striking example of change from the status of factory in a smaller y and administrative offi in a center, in the case of the Indian Refining company of Lawrenceville, Il, Up to this year this firm did its manu facturing in Illinois and had an execu- tive force of 450 people in New York. An office building was erected in the smaller town, of reinforced concrete, at n cost equal only to one year’s rent in ‘New York, and the force moved there, The head of the company has found, after a test of several months that this concentration of forces is ‘conductive to efficiency’ and he believes it ‘the solu- tion of one industrial problem,’ ‘| of this sort and after all, the move per- “There is also the case in another city of the removal of the offices of the -American Woolen company to Shaw- sheen village. It might not be considered a move toward concentration, because of ‘he great number of plants of the com- pany spread over a wide territory. And yet it does bring the administrative force close to leading units of the company, in Lawrence. One can_trust Mr. Wood for making an economical move in a case from New York. Only a “ew days ago a writer in New York, in a special de- spatch to the Washington Star, stated that ‘there is a distinct movement under way toward a closer contact between production and administration and dis- tributing ends of many basie indus- tries.’ “In the great cities one is apt to get far away from the fundamentals of life. The collar is used somewhat as a‘ thing of magic and, by so much, a dangerous ‘token. The dollar bill, if rightly con- sidered, might be used as a healthy sym- bol, for the bit of paper which chiefly composes it is a product of the soil and of labor. It should be accepted“as a pow- er of exchange for other things which are the product of labor and the soil in like manner. By getting the dollars, regardless’ of what effort is. given in return for the same, the uneconomic mind feels that it can be assured of the necessaries of life. There is little con- sideration in the artificial atmosphere of congested cities of the essential fruth that to procure these necessaries an ef- fort must be made somewhere that will compensate for the toil put into their production. The piece of paper termed a dollar is thought capable of conjur- ing up what is needed, so ‘Why worry?* A *back to the land’ movement, therefore might help to bring enlightenment upon economic subjects through contact with natw as well as mitigate a top-heavy condition in our monstrous cities.” “ spe Adams “Frail By ELDEN SYALL Accounted today one of the ablest men who ever filled the presidential chair, Jdhn Quincy Adams was in his day the ter of a bitter and long-lived polit- feud, His long service for the na-| tion in diplomatic and legislative fields did not prevent his ‘having many anil earnest enemies in leading statesmen of | that day. It is not generally remembered that Adams was actually placed on trial in the house of representatives on a charge of “treasonable intent,” and faced ignominious expulsion from his seat in congress, more than a dozen years after ! his occupancy of the White House. Receiving a petition signed by a citizens of Haverhill, Mass.,” pr: that the union hit be dissolved, the e: president, as a firm believer in the right of petition, presented the memorial to congress, with a motion for its denial. This was January 24, 1842, and Adams was past 70 but mentally the outstanding figure of the house. A motion to censure him and impute “treasonable intent,” calling for punishment, was made, and the forensic battle waged for twelve days. Congressmen Wise and Gilmer of Miller Breaking Point.

Gypsying in September LILIAN LUCENE ELGIN Let’s you and I go gypsying Out where the wilds are beckoning; We'll take the path that reaches far Thru mists of purple haze. September days are graying, ‘Tho’ summer's long delaying Why should we not be straying Midst joys of wildwood ways? A wayside road is calling, Long shadows cool are falling, Where the sunlight gleams and dimples On the surface of a lake. A meadow-lark is singing, His song so sweetly ringing, With the music he is flinging Over mountain-side and brake. The golden-rod is nodding, Where corn reapers are plodding, , Down the serried paths so narrow Thrue the fields of ripened grain. A quail is piping gaily, The song that he sings daily, He thinks perhaps to scare us With his prophecy of rain. So let’s you and I yo questing, From cares and duties resting, Adown the road that reaches far Thru golden mists we'll roam. Oh! such a day for straying, Thru forests cool and playing, That we are two free gypsies With the wide world for a home.
