ROOKLYN, 202 Washington bat Fultap ihe s VOTE THE TICKET. HERE are no names to scratch on the Demo- cratic ticket this year. It represents the best party judgment, and beyond that it repre- sents the people, which the list on the Republican hallot does not. The wiggly-wabbly Administration in Wash- {ngton, the tariff privilege selling Senators and Congressmen deserve full-faced rebuke, and the man who should be most heavily slapped is Sena- tor William M. Calder, who typifies the kind of man who poses as a public servant, while all the time aiding private ends. Royal S. Copeland, his Democratic opponent, is fot that kind of a man. He will go to Washing- ton to serve all of us. See that he is sent! RECKONED IN REAL VALUES. N the headlines the financial deficit of the Ger- man Government for the current year looks formidable indeed. The figure 440 followed by hfiine ciphers represents the tale in marks. In all truth the deficit is alarming, but a little hrithmetic will help to make it more readily com- prehensive. When this statement was issued the New York price for marks was about forty for a cent. Trans- lating the German deficit into real money as rep- resented by United States dollars, the amount would be $110,000,000. The average yield of German wheat before the war was about 130,000,000 bushels per year. At the prevailing world market, an average wheat crop would balance the deficit and leave some- thing over. ‘Such a double translation of values is about the only way in which financial statistics of the countries flooded with paper money can be made real for persons who think in terms of sound cur- tency. A few ciphers one way or another do not mean anything in dealing with marks, rubles and crowns. Wheat, coal, iron, and the products of labor rep- resent real value and might be used in barter Wilhelm’s imperious orders bearing on the upproaching ceremony at Doorn are beginning to make the kindly Dutch ask themselves whether the Netherlands has changed rulers. “OLD DEVIL HIMSELF.” N the Party Backbone, bulletin of the Prohibi- tion Party State Committee, we find the fol- lowing: ADVICE TO REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS BY A WELL KNOWN MEMBER OF THAT PARTY WHO CLAIMS THAT HE 18 NOT IN POLITICS. “Our advice to Republican politictans, trou top to bottom, is to keep quiet on the question of Prohibition enforcement and let the enforce ment record of their candidate for Governor do the talking. William H. Anderson in a press report. Old Devil himself could not give his foliow- ers, the Republican politicians particularly, better advice than does this worthy representa tive of church inaction. “Drys" wanted a dec laration in the Republican platform. The “Wets” wanted a declaration. “Silence” is the result. The cohorts of hell work most effectively when they work silently. It is all too rarely we are privileged to hear Prohibitionists talk frankly to one another The Prohibition Party comparing the State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League to “Old Devil himself” leading “the cohorts of hell’ is a joyous campaign product that nobody should miss A man swapped his wife for a filvver and then lost the latter through foreclosure of 4 mortgage thereon.
