S. Young La Follette and Wilcox stood for something distinct and opposite, and the folks didn’t care a hoot for a mere party “mame. Result: Great doubt as to there ‘being a democratic party in Wisconsin, legally speaking. 4 The democratic party must stand for omething democratic. It must abandon “regular” republican attitude toward popular issues, in congress. It must quit hari-kari over whisky and religion. It must refuse to perform as‘a little yellow d bg running between the rear wheels of progressive political thought and action.

Answers to Your Questions ? ? | THE AIRCRAFT PROBE (Ei line with this newspaper's often peated suggestion, President Coolidge has named a special board to probe into air service requirements and incidentally to attack cognizance of Colonel Mitchell's crusade against the war and havy depart- ments, The personnel of the board makes for optimism. Both sides of the controversy appear pleased ‘ith it, particularly Col- onel Mitchell, whose charges served to bring the issue-to a head, Both the army and navy are sented, the one by a retired general, the other by a retired admiral, both with fine records, Being on the retired list, they can say and do what they like. Both houses of congress are ‘likewise repre- sented, the upper house by one senator, the lower by*two representatives, Air- men will be represented by a man who saw active flying service in the world war and three civilian technician-engineer-ex- perts will look-after that end of the in- quiry, Finally there is a member of the federal bench to give judicial tone to the hearings. By the appointment of the board, the army is relieved of attempting to prove the truth or falsity of Colonel Mitchell’s chaxges against it and the navy ~a delicate job which would have placed it in the position of being both judge and jury in its own case. Trial of Colonel Mitchell on insubordi re repre- special nation, or similar charges, is not likely until he had told all he knows to the spe- cial board before which he will appear as star witness. In any event the president who, as commander-in-chief of the army and navy, must pass upon the findings of the Mitchell courtmartial—if any—will not do so until he has the board’s report to guide him. Thus does Mitchell seem assured of jus- tice to himself and to the cause.he advo- And perhaps more important still, out of it all congress, at the beginning of | its next session, ought to be able to form a pretty clear idea of the needs of our national defense and take some long-post- poned steps toward realizing them 5-CENT CIGARS COME BACK ‘ HAT the people of this country really need is a good 5-cent ciga the late Vice President Thomas R. Mar- shall once remarked. Cigar manufacturers are now begin- ning to see the truth of the witticism, but not until their business had been cut into pretty considerably. They are going to revive the 5-cent cigar. “War-time profits induced them to look upon the old relaible 5-cent smoke as an object of charity arther than of busi- ness,” the Wall Street Chronicle observes. So they discarded it.” Whereupon sales dropped from 8,000,- 000,000 a year to 6,750,000,000. That was in 1921. Since then sales have never mounted higher than the 4,000,000,000 mark, whereas, in a period when every- thing else was booming, it should have increased far beyond the pre-war peak. Restoration of the 5-center, cigar mak- ers believe, will soon do the work. At least they are in a better position than the beef trust. When the packers de- manded such high prices for meats, folks | began to eat more and more vegetables— | and liked ‘em. Now, when the packers would like more trade, these same folks, having discoy- ered vegetables, are inclined to keep on eating them.
