Company Arranged to Double
Its Plant

One reason why gloom settled over
the various conventions in Chicago is
to be found in the fact that business
conditions and the precepts OF private
avarice which under Mark Hanna be-
came Republican principles are no,
more in harmony than the Justice and
the Colonel.
For example, on the very day that
the regulars were ca-Ang loudly for
subsidies to remove the awful blight
from the American mercantile marine,
the Cramp Shipbuilding company OF
Philadelphia, overwhelmed with or
ders, was buying an ISLAND for the pur-
pose of charging its plant. Hereto
fore It's activities have been confined
to d plot of 81 acres. Without waiting
for the triumph of a party that learns
nothing and forgets nothing, 1T mas
now acquired at a high valuation 40
acres additional.
How do the Cramps or anybody else
expect a faithful old subsidy party to
make Roadway against the United
States treasury on the plea that the
shipbuilders are impoverished, when
they indulge in such extravaganza?

Wilson's strenoth in the West.

Reference has already been made to
the remarkable vote polled by Presi-
dent Wilson in western primaries, not
withstanding the fact hat there was
no Democratic contest to arouse the
interest of electors. The Montana
vote repeats the story told by Wiscon-
sin, Illinois and other states. The
president, running without opposition,
received 1S,00S votes to 1920 divided
between Cummins, Roosevelt and
Hughes, whose rivalry might naturally
have been expected to take the Repub-
licans to the polls in large numbers.
1t is not difficult to prophesy where the
electoral vote of Montana will go ins
November. And there are many 9TH
er states in the same boat.-Philadel-

FadinQ Issues.


The merging and smothering of ira
ditional issues will give us a new kind
of campaign this year. Aside from
foreign policies and the policy of ma
tional defense. we are likely to hear
little indeed about issues. The battle
will be fought over administration. If
the foreign questions and prepared
ness could be kept out of the contest,
the country would benefit from the
campaign. For it would lay the bust
ness of government before the people
as they have never had a chance to
behold 1t. If some profit does not flow
out of the controversy, in the way of
better government, whether the ms
stay in or the outs remain out. we
should be surprised.-Toledo Blade.

LOnQOn.--RuSSldn troops nave Gull
quered all of the Austrian crownland
of Bukowina, and the Austrians are
falling back into the Carpathian Noun

tinue their advance.
Kimpolung, in the southern part of

captured from the Germans trenches
west of the Thiaumont redoubt north

the Verdun region, but the lombard
