THE BANKRUPT OPPOSITION.

It HERE is no parallel in American politics Tor cam
pagn like the present one. Walk into the first
crowd OF you and ask each OF them what the
issue is and you will receive practically as many d'i-
ierent replies as there men in the group One will
say is the tariff another Mexican affairs still anothe'
foreign policies and down the line, No two will be
agreed upon the paramountcy of any question
The phases OF the campaign equally unique Here
is Mr. Hughes the candidate aspiring the chief cxccu
tivcshp of the nation and the time seeking to
slip in through the votes of element which bears rs
chci allegiance a foreign power He has uttered no
word to offend the hyphcnatcs sensitive Mr. Wilson,
ON the other hand has incurred their ,mpacable hostility
because he has stood up ot America at all times upon all
occasions.
Colonel Roosevelt is speaking for Candidate Hughes,
with we take it, his cordial approval Of all that is said
At least the expectation is profit thercirom Colonel
Roosevelt talks OF and its gprics and Is simply
"rarn go" MI Hughes declares he is man Of peace,
but repudiacs OF the Golone, utterancesg Is he
for war peace? Can anyone tell where he stands on
this question or for that matter any other question aside
from the tariff?
And Colonel Roosevelt, participation in the campaign
precipates another unscemy feature lie is very hostile
toward the German Americans much so in fact that
he studousy avoids all German American communities
in his speech making tours for fear .Q alternating that
vote for llugkS So cgalcd with the spectacle OF
the candidate pandcrng to the hypheuac vote and his
Chief iuglcman ducklng and dodging them for fear OF
tCadug on their tender toes
But we could overlook these unscemy features OF
the campaign ii We able to find a modicum OF as
the heterogeneous cougomeration of element,
comprising the reunited" republican party that it could
accomplish something in OF its Roosevelt
and Perkins and Robins OF leaders headed in
adiametrcaly opposite direction from Penrose and Smoot
and Cannon and Fordncy9hc other set Which will
dominate, Which will Hughes train With Seeking
with the hare and trail with the hounds will he
not make a sorry mess of it in either case
The simple truth is, the campaign has brought out
the ugly fact that the G. o. p is a bankrupt organization
1t has issues, unity OF purpose leaders who
agree The only policy upon which 1t command har
mouy and complete coordination OF elements Anything
10 beat Wilson" Is that consideration OF such transcend
importance that afford to make a change at a
time when the world i, atamc with war and VIC are at
peace with all and enjoying prosperity the like OF which

CONTRACTS THAT BIND.

THIS CITY has many men whose word is as good as
their bond, Other cities have the same kind Com
munities which honorcd with that class Of citizens
generally leaders.
l'u, occasionally encounter whose word is no,
viewed as OF binding nature. Witness that man who
wished TO buy suburban tract The owner of the tract
vas satisfied with the cash offer made for the property
but before accepting it said that he would consult with
his tcnan, who had contract to the place year
WELL can't you break the contract and make the sale p
said the eager purchaser
"Wcll this contract is a verbal one replied the own
cr Of the land and don't make practice OF breaking
contract regardless of whether it is in writing or by
verbal agreement Unless the sale suits my tenant we
can't trade"
Here is illustration OF the type of man that its a
pleasure to do business with He believes that contract
IS binding and he is safe man with whom to transact
business.

GODD WORD FOR DANDELIoN
Americans Gould Save Money by sys-

Flowered Plant.

1t is astonishing To most of us to
learn, from an authoritative source.
that our annual supply of dandelion
roots comes chiefly from Germany.
Austria and France. BY the way. who
started the notion that this highly dec
orativc yellow-flowered plant should
be baniShed whore the owner makes a
preteNt of "a well-kept lawn?
Well. dundelionS were made before
lawns, and, luckily, they persist in
flourishing. The leaves supply us with
early greens" and the roots with
something renowned incidentally as
good for the liver" But why should
our truck gardeners stand idly by
while the makers OF drugs import tons
of dandelion roots every year from
Europe?
For the same reason, very likely,
that American sugar-beet growers buy
or did, before the war-their seed
from thrifty and enterprising German
and French farmers. For the same
reason that we have been sending good
money to Europe for many another
necessity that we might have produced
ourselves without waiting for world
war TO cut off the supply.
Just what the reason is il might be
hard TO say. Probably n part of il is
something we overlook when we boast
of our national characteriStics-she

Want Hens In Enalish Parks.

In the hope of saving large part of
the S40,O00,000 spent every year for
foreign eggs. an agitation is on foot
60 throw open London parks for poul-
try breeding. The scheme is receiving
serious consideration from the authori
ties because it is one of the latest war
time economies suggested on a large
scale. The promoters of the idea have
asked for part of one park TO start
with. The plan provides for n site
of about three acres and accommoda-
ton for 600 hens. The leading poul-
try breeders Of the country will be in
vited TO send six selected fowls of the
same breed and strain. Scientific feed
ing tests are TO be made. All the eggs
will go to the wounded soldiers and
prizes will be awarded TO the owners
of the hens laying the most eggs.
