Frank Knox, the Republican vice presidential nominee, has gone in for color in a big way. Signifi- cant as it may be, his favorite at the present writing is yellow. His Chicago Daily News recently broke out in a rash of color theme. The Colonel, or one of his| top hands, tenderly approaches the world with thought that “yellow is a color to delight God.” Apparently imbued with his subject the writer goes on with this flow of words: “Behold the kingdom | of light. How wonderful is the golden sun! How | lovely the yellow corn and- the sunflower.” | Doesn’t it just capture your imagination? Ah, yes, so touching. It even mdves the Cincinnati En- quirer to wander mentally into the field of numerology. | Says a writer of that journal, commenting on the| Colonel's passion for yellow “In numerology, if we are to credit a rather dis- credited science, yellow is said to vibrate to the num- ber, 2. Incidentally, if we may be allowed to dwell on the subject, numerology also has proven that the| name Alfred Mu:,"m\n Landon also vibrates to the same digit. Hence, devotees of the subject explain, the choice of the sunflower as a campaign emblem is highly fortuitous. The number, 2, it seems, represent- ed a peace-loving ¢! life ruled by tact, and 8 personality likely to succeed by than by force.” And now that all editorial writers appear to be a| little “tetched” at this season, perchance from the| sun, perhaps we may be pardoned for going just a mite further into the subject If, as the Enquirér points out, yellow vibrates to the number, 2, would it be unreasonable to go further | and assume, as most of us do, that the number, 2, a means second, and as such it follows the number, 1 | the latter meaning first? Then, not being a student! of the discredited science of which the Enquirer! speaks, would we be presumptuous to suggest l)ml! Mr. Landon is doomed to finish second? It is con- ceded by a great many that Mr. Roosevelt vibrates | very nicely to the number, 1, or first. the | ingenuity rather | NO FEAR OF DICTATORSHIP The cry of dictatorship is often directed toward ‘Washington these days. But it is difficult to imagine any President becoming a dictator whose re-election | depends upon the votes of the people. Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes brought the point out rather forcefully in an address before the Institute of Public | Affairs of the University of Virginia. The Secretary | at that time said: I challenge the assumption that the social, economic and political system as existed in this country just prior to March 4, 1933, was a government representative of the people. It might not be so difficult to prove that our government at that time was representative of money. And I challenge anyone, on the basis of the actual facts, to prove that there exists in WasHington today either an actual or potential dictatorship, as charged by my Old Guard friend, the Republican platform craftsman, Senator Hiram Bingham of Con- necticut. Your thorough-going dictator generally is a single personality, but there can be just as effective and ruthless dictatorship by a group. ‘This latter type is the kind of dictatorship to which this country submitted so complacently until our dictators, in their porcine greed for ever greater wealth and ever more power, over-reached themselves. In the panic of fear that overcame them when they saw their colossal fortunes and their cherished power threatened with extinction, they forgot even to leave anyone on guard. The result was that when they came out from under the bed where they were hiding they discovered, to their consternation, that the American people, under a leader of their own choosing, had cap- tured the citadel and were bent on the ex- periment of running their own government in their own interest. It is interesting to note that a certain type of citizen did not begin to tremble for the safety of our institutions until there came into office in Washington a government that ad- vanced the shocking theory that taxes ought to be assessed in proportion to ability to pay. ‘Then it was that the American Liberty League was organized by those liberty-loving duPonts, their compatriots and their satellites. Accord- ing to them, the Constitution was being jeo- pardized by a man whose supreme concern as President has been to equalize oppor- tunities. If President Roosevelt should yield to the importunate demands of illiam Randolph Hearst and his kind and substitute a general Federal sales tax for all income, inheritance and gift taxes, he would be acclaimed the greatest patriot in the whole calendar of American patriots. The duPonts would dis- band their Liberty League over night. Who are they who call Roosevelt a dicta- tor? Are the workers complaining? Are the farmers afraid of the President? Are the miners, the steel workers; the factory and railroad employes, men and women in the professions and the vast white ‘collar legions alarmed? ‘The very fact that the money power of America is so bitterly opposed to President dvance, $6.00; v will promptly notify | 1 sition for so long a period, and having resisted policies |office for four years and after the Republicans had | |vigor and power,” said the Democratic platform of | | strengthened. But does this newly acquired interest Roosevelt is proof enough that he has not and will not make terms with it. There never has been and there need not now be fear of any President becoming a dictator who refuses to bow the knee to these economic royalists and whose continuance in office depends upon the votes of the people. No, there need be no fear of dictatorship so long ;ns you and I and the other fellow rule at the ballot| |box, and do not neglect to exercise our right of franchise, i Those Washington Huskies are just as good as (advance reports indicated, it would appear from their spectacular victory at the Olympics which made them | world champions | | If the weasher is as nice at Seattle as here, one| can’t blame the newspaper boys so much for striking The salmon hit hard in Puget Sound, too. | | | Among other things, sunflowers are used for chicken | | feed | el The Ins And The Outs (New York Times) | In one important respect the campaign of 1936 | begins with the traditional roles of the two major | parties reversed. The advocates of centralization and the apostles of home rule have shifted sides. It is the Republican party, historically the advocate of a| strong central Government in Washington, which now complains that the Roosevelt Administration is |“constantly seeking to usurp the rights reserved Lo\ ,Lhe States.” It is the Democratic party, traditionally |the champion of States’ rights, which ins that | |there are many activities that “inevitably overflow | State boundaries” and thereby ‘“call for both State and Federal treatment.” That a shift of emphasis has occurred is obvious enough. But it would be a mistake to believe that a sharp line has always been drawn between the two parties on the issue of States’ rights. No such line was drawn in the case of national prohibition. On |other asions the attitude of the two parties toward States’ rights has depended in large part upon whether they were in or out of office. Consider the record of the Democrats. the Democratic party had been out of power in Wash- ington for sixteen years. Having been in the oppo- | | which successive Republican Administrations had sought to accomplish by expanding the powers of the national Government, the Democratic party found itself a staunch defender of States' rights in 1912 Its platform that year vigorously denounced Republi- can efforts to “usurp” such rights and vigorously d manded “the full exercise by the “States of their re: served sovereign powers.” But four years later the Democrats themselves had been in power for a term in Washington. During this period they had created a centralized banking ystem which ignored State lines and greatly increased the autherity of the national Government through the enactment of such laws as that which established the Federal Trade Commission. Do we find the Demo- crats, in 1916, still insistent and still eloquent on the question of States’ rights? The subject is not even mentioned in their platform. In fact, it was not; until 1924, after the tide of political fortune had! turned again, after the Democrats had been out o once more begun to shape the platform of national legislation, that Democratic interest in the issue |of States’ rights suddenly revived. “We demand that the States of the Union shall be preserved in all their 1924. “They constitute a bulwark against the cen- tralizing and destructive tendencies of the Republican | party.” | In 1936 it is now the turn of she Republicans to | seek a bulwark against the “centralizing and destruc- tive tendencies” of the Democratic party, and there- fore to demand that the rights of the States be of the Republicans in the issue of States’ rights spring primarily from a changed Republican conception of the powers of the national Government, or primarily | from Republican dissatisfaction with the way in which | these powers have been used by Mr. Roosevelt? Cer- tainly the latter explanation seems more credible, considering the fact that the Republicans themselves now propose to expand the powers of the national Government in such matters as farm relief and regu- | lation of monopolies, provided this is done in a man- ner satisfactory to Republicans. There is a natural and almost inevitable tendency for the “in” party to use the powers of the national Government as a short-cut to the achievement of its purposes and a tendency for the “out” party to |emphasize States' rights as a means of resisting the ‘purl._v in power. Democrats who have bitterly pro- tested against Republican invasion of State preroga- tives have invaded the same field.

To the bitterness occasioned by the refusal of the Rightists to carry out the social and economic reforms needed by the country when they were in power has been added a new unrest stirred by the inability of the government of the Left, now holding power, to make these reforms, particularly |such as concern the redistribution of the land among |the pleasants, swiftly enough to appease a hungry, | enraged people. Hence the death roll from violence mounts steadily with more than 300 killed and 1,000 | im)ured since March, with plot and counter-plot, with assassinations and destruction of property increasing. Spain is heading straight into a revolution of the type France experienced in 1789 and Russia in 1917- 21. The speed with which the present regime takes command of the situation now will indicate whether |that affair is to outdo France and Russia or whether it can be moderated.
