OUR KEYNOTE SPEECHES

Senator Harding Of Ohio had an
impossible task, which he performed
painfully, in making before the Re-
publican convention at Chicago the
keynote speech of his party.
The insuperable trouble under
which Senator Harding labored was
that he did not know how the oppo-
sition to the Democratic party was
going to come out in the matter Of
candidates-one or two; could not
see clearly ahead of him either
union or disunion.
Former Governor Glynn Of New
York had a grotesque task, which he
performed dolefully, in making be-
fore the Democratic convention at
st. Louis the keynote speech Of his
party.
The insuperable trouble under
which Governor Glynn labored was
that he knew altogether too much
about the candidate and the plat
form Of his party, both of them
already having been made in the
White House in Washington and
sent out to st. Louis merely for
understanding by the convention.
We had thought until yesterday
that in the great Campaign Handi-
cap for the Keynote Sweepstakes the
BOBBY prize must go to Senator
Harding. Now we must declare that
he has not earned 1t. And yet, even
at that, it cannot be awarded to his
rival, Governor Glynn. It is a dead
heat.

DARTMoUTH's NEW PRESIDENT

Dartmouth college in selecting
Ernest M. Hopkins to succeed Mr..
Nichols will have the youngest col

Slightly under forty, Mr.. Hopkins
has received training which should
be most useful to him. For several
years Immediately following his
graduation he was secretary to
President Tucker, one Of the ablest
executives that has ever headed the
New Hampshire institution.
Since that time Mr.. Hopkins has
been connected with various cor
porations as an expert in Industrial
management and social relations
and leaves such a situation with the
American Bell Telephone Company
to take up his new duties.
Mr.. Hopkins long connection with

THE SENATORIAL DIVISION

Most of the reporters who covered
yesterdays preparedness parade
failed to note one salient feature.
That was the Senatorial section.
Now our legislators should not be
overshadowed by the executive and
judicial elements of the procession.
Congress has a great deal to do with
preparedness. So here Is an ad-
dition to the accounts of the pro-
cession:
The Senatorial section march
ed with dignity. II seemed i'm
pressed by the significance of
the occasion. 1t indicated the
deep interest our legislators
have in a great patriotic move
ment. The Senatorial section
carried flag, and after reaching
the White House It disbanded.
II was made up of the following
members of the Senate:
Morris Sheppard of Texas.
He was the only Senator in the
Congressional division any observers
have spotted so far. If any others
show up The Times would be glad
to add their names to this Flag Day
Hall of Fame.

Wilson's present tariff law, and our
wage-earners sent to the breadlines
as they were going to the breadlines
up to the minute the war put an
automatic check on Europe's in
creasing shipments Of surplus prod
uct to us--for electioneering pur-
poses only, this bogus platform
would be put out only to be re-
pudiated at the very closing of the
ballot boxes, just as the bogus plank
four years ago pledging the Demo
cratic party and It's candidate
against q second term for Mr.. VIII
son was disowned at the very in
'stant he became elected.

DEMOCRATIC AMMUNITION

President Wilson has acted very
wisely in directing his campaign
managers to, "cut out" the attacks
based on Mr.. Hughes having been
drafted from the Supreme Bench to
be candidate for President. With
keener sight than many of his fol-
lowers, Mr.. Wilson saw what pure
buncombe such criticism was and
realized that the calling Of Mr.. Par
ker to oppose Mr.. Roosevelt was
just as much a faping Of the judic-
larry as could be charged in the case
Of Mr.. Hughes. Between Mr..
Hughes positive statement and Mr..
Wilson's negative commands the
Democrats are getting short Of am
munition mighty early in the battle.

Hearst polled 749,0o2. In 1908 he
ran again and, opposed by powerful
race track interests, he got S04,651.
In 1912, year Of hopeless division
for the Republican party, Wilson got
only '655,476; something like $4,000
less than Hughes got at his weakest
and in an of year.
If Champ is going to bet on the
"hoss race" that's q tip on how to
place his money.

TWO INSPIRING FEATURES

There were two most inspiring
features Of yesterdays parade. One
was the President Of the United
States, unattended and unguarded,
walking at the head Of the column;
the other was the group Of veterans
Of this country's wars, some Of them
feeble and hating in step, but
stanch for the colors. President
and veteran alike know what pre-

AGAIN THE STATE RIGHTS
TRADITION

Our dispatches from st. Louis
note that the Democrats, or an i'm
portant faction Of them, take it as
rather an unkindness that the Re-
publican convention should have
written into it's platform q demand
for unification and LIBERALIZATION Of
the regulative authority over inter-
state carriers.
What the Republican platform said
on this point Is: Interstate and in
trastate transportation have been so
interviewer that the attempt to apply
two and often several sets Of laws to
its regulation has produced conflicts
Of authority, embarrassment in OPP
GRAFTON, and inconvenience and ex-
pense to the public. The entire
transportation system Of the coun-
try has become essentially national.
We, therefore, favor such action by
legislation, or, II necessary, through
an amendment to the Constitution Of
the United States, as will result in
placing 1t under exclusively Federal
control"
1t would seem that a half century
Of efforts at regulation Of interstate
and intrastate transportation, using
the same media, and yet one being
controlled by Federal and the other
by State authority, ought to have
convinced all human intelligence that
the thing cannot be done. II has
been expensive to both the carriers
and the public, and yet has accom-
plished so little that the most i'm
portant development from it is the
demonstration that it cannot be made
to work.
The same train, the same car, the
same human agencies, the same
roadbed and right Of way, handle in
trastate and interstate commerce.
The only possible way to handle the
regulatory problem is to handle it as
a unity; to make the traffic a single
stream, and then to apply the same
rules to it.
Intelligence, indeed, has long ac-
cepted this as the right solution. But
hidebound prejudice and unalterable
tradition, dating back to times be-
fore there was such an institution as
interstate commerce, or indeed, as
any commerce in the ordinary mod
ern sense, still enters its protest
against exclusively Federal regula-
ton on the ground that it would cur
tail the rights and authorities of
the States.
liberalization is not radical step
at all. It is a highly conservative
one, for 1t will stave off the other
wise inevitable crisis in which Gov
eminent ownership will at last be
demanded. The railroads and the
public suffer together from presen,
conditions, which ought to be ended
and that soon. Doubtless the plan
of constitutional amendment is the
one sure way to get exactly what il
wanted. Any other plan would re.
quire long years of legislation, liti.
cation, amendment, and adaptation.
If the party stands against thi.
simple measure Of good sense, anc
prevents its adoption, 1t will in tn.
end pay for its policy of mere con
struction, and pay dearly, in the LOST
of public confidence.

To meet her. the accusing shapes of these
