porting President Wilson or apollo
giving for him. but that this Is tho
year when they can examine the re-
cor dand place responsibility. 1t is
worth while to note that democratic
leaders like MoCombs seem to have
been in the same frame of mind.
They have had the additional In
Centive of fearing to rock the party
boat as we'll as the fear that dissen
sion in times SO critical might also
wreck the country. But is concciv
able that they would now prefer de-
feat to the autocratic leadership that
has been ruthless with friends and
foes alike and that makes puppets Of
oil who have accepted service under
Its administration.
1t looks now as II there would be
some plain talk at the democratic
convention by bunch Of one time
leaders who are not averse to telling
Mr.. Wilson to go way back and sit
down.
Mr.. McCombs spoke his mind. He
also spoke the minds Of q very large
number of democratic voters.

DEMPSEY'S "ACQUITTAL."
[Des Moines Trihunc.l


Jack Dempsey has been acquitted
Of the technical charge OF Stacking"
and the jury seems to have been en-
tirely satisfied that he did no more
than claim his rights under the draft
law.
That has all along seemed the like
ly outcome. but It has little to do
with the complaint against Dempsey.
Whether Dempsey went the limit
in claiming exemption or not,
whether he strained the truth in
putting his claim on paper, whether
he posed az a patriotic shipbuilder
when in fact he was nothing Of the
sort-these are incidentals.
The important fact is that Demp-
sey. fighting man by profession,
with youth and wonderful physique
as qualifications. with proven physi-
cal courage OF the kind that serves q
man in ring. and with no real de-
pendents who would be put in the
way Of suffering by his absence. did
not go to war.
1t is not that he had to so under
the law. 1t 10 that he could hav
gone and didn't. 1t is, above all, that
he Is n fighting man.
The public feels that a fighting
profession has obligations, and that
the first one Is not to shun fighting.
Carpenter. the F'renchman, will
not have an unfriendly crowd when
he steps between the ropes to meet
Dempsey. For Carpenter fought.

FISH OR CUT BAIL.

Webster City Freeman Journal
At the very beginning of the de-
bate we might as well get one
thought in mind, our great periods
of national progress have como when
we had great presidents. and our
great presidents have not come to
us out OF congress. at least not
directly out Of congress.--Des Moines
Register
And at the very beginning OF the
debate the Register ought to let Its
readers know just where it stands.
Thus far 1t has very successfully
concealed it's preferences. If 1t Is for
the republican ticket II should say go
and II 1t is against that ticket 1t
ought to have the courage and
honesty to admit 1t. Nobody knew
where II stood during the senatorial
contest and now 1t Is weighing
around and sidestepping in such
awkward and crooked fashion thF
nobody knows whether 1t Is for -
against the republican party. Why
not have this question settled at the
very beginning?"

THE CONVENTIONS HONEST DUTY

Suggestion that the republican
convention may or should 60 outside
the four leading candidates for the
government nomipation should stop
where 1t IL. 1t has been suxs estei
that Charles Rawson be nominated:
but so far a. that Is concerned II
there Is anything which Mr.. Raw
sons friends and admirers haven't
suggested MT. Rawson for, 1t escapes
recollection. Now from Manchester
comes tho proposition that because
Ned Hoyt was beaten In the primary
by Burbank Mr.. Hoyt should be
nominated by the convention Tor
governor as q sort OF rebuke to Bur
bank and the methods he 10 alleged
to have used in the campaign 80
as q "vindication" Of Mr.. Hoyt.
In all political and party honor
and decency the nomination be-
longs between the candidates who
made the campaign for governor.
Without doubt that is also the intent
Of the law. Mr.. Rawson nor Mr..
Hoyt were before the voters for that
office. There IL no reason to believe
that either Of them Is better fltted
for the office than the candidates
who made the race and divided the
vote 20 equally that the choice be-
tween thom falls upon the conven-
ton. The suggestion that Mr.. Hoyt
q defeated candidate for the Office,
should be nominated governor be-
cause no failed to get votes enough
to nominate him for state treasurer
IL utterly ridiculous and childish.
Mr.. Hoyt should call of his faithful
but neurotic political susgestors.
They are doing him no good by ad-
vancins such political baby talk In
his interests.
Neither he nor Rawson have the
slightest claim in priority to con-
sidsration by the convention.
Further than that they haven't a
vestAge OF q claim.

Hope to Place Homeland Project on
SociaIistic Basis.
BY Associated Press.
London. June 23.-Public owner
ship Of land, a cooperative common
wealth. and equal rights for all. were
advocated here today as the three
leading principles in the social pro-
gram American Zionists desire in
corporated IN, the project for n Jewish
homeland in Palestine. by Jacob de
Haas. executive secretary OF the
Zionist organization OF America
Mr.. de Haas arrived in London to-
day with United States Supreme
Court Justice Louis -. Brandeis hon
orary president of the Zionist or
ganization Of America: Judge Julian
W. Mack, president: Nathan Straus,
Mrs. Mary Fels. Professor Felix
F'rankfurter, Cap. Abraham. These
are the advance guard Of the 80 dele
gates of American Zionists to the
World Zionist Conference, converting
In London July 4.
American Zionists will make q
united effort to have the Ptttsburgh
program. which they adopted In 1918
as the guiding social principles for
, the Jewish homeland, approved by
the world conference. In the pro-
| gram it will formulate for the policy
to be carried out In Palestine. Mr.. de
Haas in the statement he gave out
on the eve Of what is considered the
most significant Jewish world con-
| ference ever held. stressed the pro-
! gressive tenets OF tn Pittsburgh pro =
gram declaring:
The Zionists are not going to be
satisfied with a Palestine or land OF
Israel. which will be a mere dupli-
cate of the numerous small states OF
| Europe or South America. They be-
lieve that the 1000 years Of suffering
and martyrdom OF the wandering Jew
has given to our race wealth Of ex
| perlence which. added to the ancient
heritage Of the Jew. can be made
fruitful in the creation Of model
! settlement in the land Of our for
| fathers.
The Pittsburgh platform may be
summarized as follows:
| l.-Public ownership OF land; g the
cooperative commonwealth; 3, equal
rights. The fist is expressed in the
phrase that the land of Palestine
shall be owned or controlled for the
benefit Of the people OF Palestine as
a whole. The Zionists Of America
have resolved that the benefits which
come thru increasing land values re-
| main community values which will
go into the public treasury.
The second principle indicates
that the Zionists of America are re-
solved to encourage cooperative
enterprise to the largest extent pos
sible, so that cooperative com
| monwealth may be gradually evolved
without however. crushing individual
initiative There Is no simple formula
by which the cooperative common
wealth can be achieved-it must be
a development thru struggle and ex-
perimentation. In any event, we have
set the goal!
! THE third principle Is one with
which all Americans are familiar
! at least In theory. tho we may fall
short In actual practice Whereas. We
contine our program OF equal rights
to the narrow field of politics, the
Zionists of America would apply /,

queen with no eggs in the royal

Second-Why does the owl fly
noiselessly?
Nature has taken especial pains to
enable the owl to fly softly and ST.
lently. because the creatures IT
preys upon are small and wary. and
never venture far from their holes
She has not shown the same caution
in the case Of the crow. because the

WHEN DEMOCRACY ISN'T.

A dispatch from Waterloo states
that out Of the many democrat
women who will be at the Frisco
convention AZ visitors only three will
be allowed the freedom of the floor
by the masters at arms. All others
will be verboten. The three are Will
bur Marsh's girl Of Waterloo and her
guest. a young woman from Grand
Rapids and Miss Augusta Glass Of
Virginia. Carriers daughter.
Shades of ancient and democratic
democrats. what is democracy as
represented by the democratic party
coming to when tho privilege of the
floor Of the convention 10 denied the
commonalty to the creation Of an ar
istocracy Of privilege. In this coun-
try where every woman 10 IL good as
another and q darned sight better,
what feelings will surge in the palpi-
tating bosoms OF the plebian women
outside the bars as they see tho po-
littcal grand duchesses saunter at
will among the delegations while
they are warned by stern masters at
arms to keep their places and re-
main within their class. Somehow II
reminds Of old feudal days before
there was any democracy and eonse-
quently before there was any DEM
ocrat party.
It may crafty and please the girls
but It's poor politics at that. Women
and women voters are dead sat
against special privilege unless they
get 1t themselves. The democrat girls
in the galleries don't mind being kept
Off the floor. But they'll get wild eyed
watching tho three distinguished by
privilege and crowned with coronets
Of q party peerage.
But then. what's It to us? Let 'em

GOMPERs REELECTION.


The proposal to slaughter all pub

force labor's views on the whole peo-

down to defeat in Iowa. 1t went down
to defeat in Washington. The re-
Spouse OF the people to the challenge
Is that labor has it's rights. but SO
have the other 80 per cent of the
population. Mr.. Gompers, either to
retain his leadership or TO save his
organization from destruction went
so far towards the radicals that pub
lie hostility Is aroused.
His reelection does not mean that
the battle against him and the dyna-
hitting Of the federation from within
will cease. 1t only means that the
opposition believes it can accomplish
more with him honored Dy re- election
