The game law is wide open on poli- ticians from now on; they have got to believe all you tell them and have got to come through with the money; you can bunk 'em and you can hook 'em--it is the great American sys- tenn. Ain't it the real joy of life to soak some feller you don't like; what do we care for efficiency? This is a free country and it's up to us to soak 'em now. We don't care a whoop about competency--we want revenge. (Soliloquy pour humanicas del wallop em, no matter what cost 'em.)

It is one of the amusing things to see democratic space filters lament ing the fact that Hughes speeches have been so disappointing on his tour of the west. The real disap- pointment resulting from the speeches he has made on his tour will engen- der much more democratic disappoint- ment in November. While most westerners would not attempt to hag- gle over a horse trade in the middle of boggy stream, most of them have sense enough to use bridge when they see it.

Wilbur W. Marsh, the new treasur- CT of the Democratic National Com mittee, declares that he will get the money to beat Hughes. The only trouble with this programme is that it will take much more than money to do the trick. That the Democratic war chest will brim over with coin has long been known-and discounted The new agencies of government which the administration has set ur with such profussion all have theii bearing upon the raising of cam. paign slush fund. But the plans will not work out. There will be money galore for the Democrats--but tho votes will be lacking.

IT MAKES THE WISE BOYS
 IAIIGH.

There is a great deal of amusement in running newspaper, much of which never reaches the public They give much and freely, paying the printer and the paper house for the paper. The Sun receives bales of stuff every day from poverty-stricken corporations, complaining of the treatment they are receiving from the people, when they are only trying their best to do them good Just re- gently we received letter from the Bethlehem Steel Company which con- tained about ten dollars worth of their advertising to prevent the gov ernment from making their own ar nor plate. This, of course, was a live subject among the cattlemen and sheepmen and ranchers in this vicin- ity; they would have forgotten all about cattle, sheep, grass and crops if we had printed the article.
 Since we have peculiar idea of a man getting the full value of his la bor, and that in receiving it he should do the work and pay his honest debts, we advised the steel corporation of the fact and that it would be wise idea for them to get down among the people and tell them their troubles also pay for it like other people are doing.
 Lately we notice they are advertis- ing booklet that will be sent free to the people if they will send for it.
 The average newspaper man gets his amusement all tangled up in joy fulness when he realizes that the poor corporations must mooch on him in order to get hearing before the dear people.
 Evidently their money is not to be spent scandalously for stating their case to the people; it is for the meas ly owner who may be cut short in his dividends.

The ten questions asked by the thirty-seven distinguished authors, of next President Hughes, reminds us of the well known statement: "That a d--- fool can ask questions that 8 wise man can not answer"
 This same old remark will cover the same questions of: "What would Hughes have done"
 Asking questions is a good stunt when you do not know what else to dc but, what t'll Wilson do?
 Wilson was playing the cards-ht held the hand, you get the results.
 The average man figures that if you don't deliver the goods, they can't af. ford to stake the same fellow tc play the game for them the mex, time. Pure business-plain facts
 What would you have done?" is only complaint from a good com. plainer, who can complain better than he can compile.

In spite of Senator John Sharp Williams and his Democratic associa- tes, the New York National Guards men, who are down on the border pro- tecting and otherwise enriching the citizens of Texas, are not to be de- prived of their vote. The attorney general of New York has ruled that the Empire State Guardsmen may vote under the section of the state constitution which provides for such "in time of war" Mir. Wilson claims to have "kept us out of war;" but surely nothing is lacking from war fare but the word itself. There are 17,000 New Workers down on the Texas border to help out Mir. Will son and his party-and when they come to vote in November, as their attorney general has said they may they will doubtless help him out in q very literal sense.

CUSTOMERS IDEA OF
 THE AVERAGE PRINTER

The ideal printer from the custom CTS standpoint is described in the Ben Franklin Monthly" by a Chicago business man, in these words: "The kind of printer I like best, and 1 be- lieve that most buyers whose pur- chases of printing are similar to mine will agree with me, is the one who knows his own business well enough to conduct it at profit, who has an exact record of his real costs and bases his selling prices on these costs; who will undertake only that kind of work that he can do well, and who has feeling of responsibility when he makes a promise of delivery. l want prices that are consistent, one with another, rather than high today and low tomorrow. l want reasons that I can understand for extra charges, and I want allowances and discounts when l think that l am en- titled to them or I want to be con vinced that am wrong. l can see a great, improvement in the business methods of printers over those that prevailed even ten years ago, but there is still much room for improve ment, and it should be the purpose of the printers organizations to raise the standard of the trade, so that g criticism like this would be incom- patible with truth"

According to the latest returns of the economic bureau we discover that there has been 12,000 new jobs creat- ed by the present administration out side of civil service regulations, and the salaries that go with them amount to the sum total of thirteen million dollars. This is fairly competent evil dence that President Wilson believes in making hay while the sun shines.

"A fool can ask questions that a wise man can not answer" seems to be the national democratic policy at the present time. They desire to befog the game by asking questions instead of proving to the people some of the things they have actually done in the interest of the people.

President Wilson was notified of his nomination by the democratic party at Shadow Lawn Saturday. Shadow Lawn?" Don't it remind you? In the shade. Ephemeral, in the fog, vast vestas of verdure. He came accidentally, returned inten- tionally to the mosquitoes who first bit him-the old New Jersey home.

We all have sympathy for the man that gets stung once-politically or otherwise, but when he goes back and gets stung again in the same way, he is only entitled to a laugh-loud like a horse.

Italian territory could no: be less than zoo miles and possibly as much as 400. So that the aerial journey of these French planes at a high windy season with at least a few pounds Of explosives as cargo in ad- dition 70 the crews and the fuel :or tue long trip becomes another Of tbs rsnarkable exploits to bs added to the list of wondars which the wer has brought about
 A noteworthy thing in oonnnpeioo with the Journey Is that the nsws of It was gwen to the world from Berlin. The raid did no damage. AS military exploit 1t had no value so far as we know. But Berlin thaught t noteworthy enough to be sent nv which the inference follows that the trip of the French aviators excited admiration n the German breast and with true sportsmen spirit, appreci+- ton of an emeny echivement was duly expressed by heraiding the event to the neutral world.
 one or two things connected with the disaptch sent 10 the nugget re main to be elucidated Now, for ic . stance. could the Germans know that the notilla was commanded by Captain de Beauchamp2 The dis patch made no mention of any of the planes being brought to earth and yet the Germans knew about the fleets leadership. The German spy system is of course most thor ough and they know many things the source of which they do not di- vulge. They may have brought Cap tam de Beauchamp down and fail d for reasons of their own to say so. or they may have fore known al about his trip from their own sources of information. In either case the French aviation corps has a re- narkable exploit to It's credit

It seems time that America ceased laying the Ilat,er.ng unction to her soul that she IS the benevolent healer Of wounds caused by the war. We are not even Feeding Belgium" IS so many have fondly thought Count ing our endre population at one hundred million. we have gwen about 10 cents per capita.

France and England have given the other nine-tenths." With cold statements like these, the New York Times strips of the mask of our self -complacency. and 1 adds that If America had given 1 thirty times as much to this one fupd as she taa gwen, tha familiar ! expression, America IS feeding Bel | gum" would be based on fact ln. stead of on a superstitious. the reit- CT alton of which has given a sor: of emotional satisfaction even to those q us who have not contributed any 1T ng to any fund.
