Special Washington Correspondence

Washington, D. c.. June 2.--The vot-
ers of the country will have an oppor-
tunity to express their opinion OF the
plumbers of the Wilson democratic
administration at the November cleo
tons.
Among many costly thoughts on
view in the national democratic plat
form of 1912 this Is still precious, says
the New York Sun.
THE high cost of living Is a serious
problem in every American home. The
republican party tn its platform, at
tempts to escape from responsibility
for present conditions by denying that
they are due to protective tariff. We
take issue with them on this subject

suit In large measure from the high
tariff laws enacted and maintained by
the republican party
The high tariff laws have been laid
low. The citadel of protection mas

WHERE IOWA LOSES.


The good state of Iowa has lost
population while other states that are
not nearly so rich and present fewer
opportunities for getting rich, are
steadily growing in population, II not
in per capita wealth. The reason is
advertising.
Iowa, with countless reasons for
singing its own praises to the world,
is SO fearful that 1t may be put into
the "braggart' class that it lets out
siders, and insiders, too, find out for
themselves the good things that are
here. The growing states are not so
foolish.
Utah, for instance, seized upon the
destruction Of a great irrigation dam
and an accompanying loss of $125,0OO
for telling the world about the mag
nitude of Utah's irrigation work and
how thousands of acres of arid land
are being made tillable. Iowa has no
irrigation to tell the world about be-
cause it doesn't need any. The Gre
ator made Iowa chosen spot and the
proper amount of sun and rain comes
here from the skies to grow crops that
are not surpassed in any other state.
Iowa might well afford to do a. little
Dragging about it's lack of irrigation
projects.
California yesterday had a volcanic
eruption in one of its mountain ranges.
1t will not be many days before Cali
fornia will be using this eruption to
advertise the state and the stories
that will be told about beautiful
mountains and sights Of awful gran
deur will make many people believe
that California is about the one place
in the world to live in. Iowa doesn't
lose anything by reason of volcanic
eruptions because there are no volcan-
oes in this state to breathe out fire
and destruction. Iowa might we'll at
ford to advertise it's lack of volcanoes.
The point we are trying to make Is
that other states use their very dis
asters to bring new people there, paint
ing them up in such way that they
draw attention to some favorable or
supposedly favorable condition in the
state. 1t is advertising with a VEN
geance, but it gets results.
Iowa with world Of things to ad-
vertise, Is silent.

In OUNCE OF FACT AGAINST
POUND OF PSYCHOLOGY.

President Wilson tells the business
t,en Of America that while there is a
rade depression it is merely psyche
bgical."
Can an extra dose Of psychology give
lack to 100000 railroad owners that
les. 100000 which their properties have
ost IN eight months this fiscal year
compared with the year before the
Wilson regime started?
Is 1t only dream or concrete
fact that 100000 workmen are now
but. OF a job?
! Can a mental state account for the
amazing reversal In Americas inter
national trade figures, where monthly
excess OF exports ranging up to $780,
100000 has turned into balance
against us of $1O,000,00O for April?
Does mere sentiment reduce our
gseel mill output to 60 per cent of its
!capacity? Was it hysteria that blew
out! $4,000 Pennsylvania coke ovens ?
NO, 1T was not e merely psyche
logicaI' notion that unloaded Ameri-
can.made traffic from 100000 freight
cars and put them out of commission.
Baldwin's didn't discharge more than
half their employees out of pique.
Building operations in the United
States have not fallen greatly simply
to create political sentiment Our
bankers are not sending shiploads of
gold to Europe to spite some body.
When securities have been liquidat-
ed in eighteen months to level ST..
100000, 900 below their former value
the country is not suffering psychology
ically but concretely.
1t is an outrageous mockery for
those whose excessive legislative med.

who are out Of work are themselves
to blame.

VETERANS OF WAR !.
BEING DISPOSED
VII SON BLAMED ~ q. A. r. FOR
pisMIssALs OF OLD SOLDIERS
FROM FEDERAL SERVICE.

Washington, d. G., June 1.-The
split between President Wilson and
the G.. A. r. was widened here last
night when great public mass meet
ing put the responsibility for the dis
missal of old soldiers from the public
service directly up to the president.
Resolutions were adopted demand.
ing that he order Postmaster General
Burleson to restore all old soldiers
dropped from the postohice throughout
the country during the last few
months. A specific resolution calling
for such action with regard to the
Washington postofiice was adopted
also.
While the meeting resolved itself
into a republican roundup, AZ far as
the speakers were concerned, tho senti-
ment expressed by the audience was
,nonpartisan.
washington Gardner, commander In
chief of the G.. A. R. and formerly
representative in congress from Mich
igan, declared old soldiers are being
dropped in Chicago as we'll as Wash
ington and that they are being de-
NOTED from one end Of the country to
the other.
Democrats Join Critics.
while the speakers attacked the
president largely on political grounds
upbraiding the G.. A. r. for following
democratic leaders In the 1912 election
because Of the passage OF the Sher
wood pension bill, northern democrats
tonight were open In their criticism OF
the presidents attitude toward the old
soldiers.
Several OF the leaders Of the north
ern wing of the party have told him
pointedly it is time to demonstrate
that he is president Of the whole
United States and not OF the remains
OF the confederacy.
Arlington Demonstration Planned.
It developed today that the demon
stration against the president at Ar
l,neton on Saturday was deliberately
arranged after the G.. A. h. leaders
learned he had accepted second invi
tation to speak before confederate
Gathering following his refusal to at
tend the Arlington memorial.
Until they discovered that the pres.
dent had promised Secretary Daniels
to attend the meeting OF the women
Of the confederacy at Raleigh, N. y.
June 10, the g. A. r. committee wae
inclined to accept his change OF mind
al an evidence Of sincere desire on
his part to be present at the Arlington
exercises. But on learning OF his IN
tention to go to Raleigh they con
Guided he turned about from political
motives only, and they set about to
prevent his captilizing his address. II
word was passed around to give MIN
as little applause as was consistent
with his high station and to start q
real demonstration for Speaker Clark
Cheer at sIur to Wilson.
The G.. A. r. fell In line solidly foi
this scheme and when the president
concluded his speech few Of the sol
diers applauded. The visitors. observ
inn the GOODNESS OF thew eterans, DID
not prolong the applause.
When Speaker Clark was introduced
by Commander Gleason with a direct
siur at the president, Col. John Noel
row, chairman Of ene committee which
presented the invitation to Presiden,
Wilson. and other leaders leaped to
their feet to lead the cheering.
