It is unkind, tc say the least, that the republican leaders have upset the democratic prophecy of a split in the repablican ranks that would make the casting of baliots in November merely a perfunctory operation, so sure were the @smocratic leaders of a hopeless division in the republican party. They can not be blamed for their display of petu- lancy that Mr. Taft, Senator Borah, Sen- ator Lodge. Senator Johnson, Govermer Lowden, General Wood and all the ele- ments in the republican party are unit- 3, in suvport of Senator Harding. n their own party, the demoeratic ‘®aders see Mr. Bryan dubious abqgt Jov. Cox. Senator Reed silent after &aring the candidate's speech of ac- gentance, with fifteen or twenty other jgnators’ uncertain where their duty B¢ The once solid south is, rent by g differences. It is beginning to ome to the perceptions of demo- @atic campaign leaders that a 'sub- sta nd powerful part of their par- gainst the Wilson regime and #shamed of the record of his administra- @eon. Whatever advantage the leaders foped to gain by the recogmized anti- Wilson action of the nominating con- e was nullified by the trip that date Cox made tp the White House and his ‘as ome” surrender to the Wilson autocracy. Sensing Seorge #bou the situation, Chairman White, & shrewd politician, set o win back the wavering ones ford no, re declared The Natio; not to be the rount issue of the campaign.

Vill consumers be adversely affected by crease of 25 to 40 per cent in If so, what will be the 1 in the case of z given le—for example, & pair of shoes/ a of sugar, a suit of clothes? Will wofiteers take unfair advantage of the ~emmission’s order by swelling still fur- t3er profits already inordinately high. “The railroad managers, realizing the pread interest in these and similar ions, have issued a statement iowing by mamy illustrations just what ae in prices is justified by the in- ase in prices is justified by the in- ¥ have placed 2 powerful instruments the hands of consumers exposed to ‘he profiteering evil. It costs a trifie over 40 cents to ship 2 suit of clothes from Chicago to Seattle. When the new rates take effect the cost will be 53 cents. It costs about 2 cents to ship 2 pound of coffee from New York 1o Seattle; it will cost 2 1-4 cents under the new rates. Shoes shipped from “h! to Seattle may justifiably ad- vance in price about § cents to meet the added cost of transportation. These sample fizures serve to show that the rate advances allowed by the interstate zome commission furnish no valid reason for burdensome additions to the ost of the necessaries or comforts of ife. Any substantial advance on the dlea of increased freight rates will be subject to the suspicion of profiteering ind will justify opposition as such. The benefits of improved transporta- facilities of new and fairly ample *quipment and gemerally better service— hese benefits the public now has a right @, expect—should outweigh before iong iny small sacrifice demanded of consum- re. It remains fer the public author- s to see that these benefits are duly sbtained by the people. LLOYD GEORGE'S ANSWER There was little doubt what answer Premier Lioyd George woyld make in re- ponse to the bold threat of the labor . 'pokesmen that a general strike would ‘ollow declaration by Great Britain of var upon soviet Russia. There was but {me course open to him and he has taken hat course when he defied the spokess nen of the laber radicals and has given i hem to understand that the gevernment i¥ins when it comes to be a question ef he supremacy of government or the su- remacy of labor. Great Britain is not vet quite ready to turn over its govern- ment to the radical labor leadeps. | Behind this threat on the part of la- sor it may be possible that they realiz- @ there was little likelihood of war myway and they could see ‘the advan- 2ge of making a demenstration that reuld give them the opportunity to fiaim credit for forcing the government o desist from war. The government would have found itself greatly weaken- *d if the impression had been allowed to ro forth that it had vielded (o dictation, 1o that the premier was abliged to re- um an answer in which there should % no ddubt of ita meaning.
