ing FORMER saloon sites. particularly the high priced
corners on the best business streets, for at least as
much as the saloon men paid? We shall be pleased 20
publish reports on this subject. and invite replies.
As a matter OF fact, known of all men who have
been the most meager acquaintance with real estate
conditions, the closing Of the saloons has not caused
an adverse ripple anywhere. On the contrary. it has
been a genuine boon, a blessing unalloyed. The est
locations have been snapped up al increased rentals.
whole buildings have been remodeled to relieve the uni
versal famine in ONCE accommodations, and everywhere
the room contributed by the retiring saloon or whole
sale liquor house has become a constructive asset. Good
business has been exchanged for bad, and at a time
of slowing down in the construction Of business build
ings ii IS of the greatest general advantage that the
property formerly occupied BY saloons has been made
available for legitimate business demands.

AMERICANISM THE ISSUE.

Even attempts OF the democratic press TO at once
paint Harding as an ultra-conservative who would not
appeal TO the country and a rabid opponent of the Viii
sonian peace pipe dreams have been % weak and fiat
as to have no doubt that the republican party has
nominated 2 national ticket that meets with the hearty
approval OF every citizen who desires relief from the in
tnlerabIe conditions which the United States has en-
dured under democratic misrule.
Rugged Americanism is a dominating character in
Eardlngis makeup. Many will recall his famous speech
On the night war was declared. The fearlessness of
Governor Coolidge Is a matter OF recent record.
With a platform that clearly defines the purposes
OF the party and candidates who can be trusted TO
carry out that platform, there is every reason why every
republican should be enthusiastic over the prospects
for the November election. while there are many demo-
Gratis Who have seen their party made the plaything
OF one man who will be glad to get back to a govern
ment OF. by and for the people.
The task this year is to rid the country Of Will
scnisr and everything that is tainted with wisconsin.
The chance to accomplish this is presented IN the
republican national ticket and platform
The call goes out TO all Americans-to all who love
America and who aspire to keep America alive-to
support Harding and Coolidge and labor to bring about
a triumphant victory at the polls in November.

DFNOcRAcY VS. ANER1cANIsM

Missouri democrats refused TO send Senator James
A. Reed to the san Francisco convention. Holding
the views they do. that IL exactly what they should
have done. Nevertheless. 1t was Reeds duty. as a
courageous. uncompromising fighter, to submit himself
to the decision Of his party. and secure that partys
endorsement if he could. Reed stands Tor unauthorized
AmericaEism. The majority Of the democrats of Mis-
souri,. hypnotized by Woodrow Wilson. are advocates
Of a league OF nations-a sort Of super-government to
which they would subordinate America. Senator Reed
could not be their spokesman, and they very properly
rejected him. Thus they have drawn the lines Of cam
paign in Missouri. The democratic organization IN
that state in the coming campaign viii stand for the
doctrine Of surrender. The republican party viii stand
for Americanism. and, in order TO be true to their
principles-placing principle above party, Reed and his
followers should, and probably will. throw their sup
port to the republican candidates. On minor issues
on inoonsequential matters man may and usually
should defer TO the judgment of the majority of his
party members. On a matter as vital as this. where
one group stands for the league covenant without the
dotting of an 81 or the crossing of a Il" while the
other stands for reservations which will maintain Am
erican independence and protect American rights. there
can be no compromise. Reed and those who stand with
him for continued American independence have been
read out Of the democratic party. There is no place
for them to 90 but to the party that stands for Ameri-
can nationalism. Fortunately, the Wilson democrats
Of Missouri are not a majority Of the people Of Missouri.
even if they are seemingly a majority Of the democratic
party in that state.

arguments Of the rummies and their advocates were
that prohibition would work a horrible hardship on
labor By throwing the millions of ~barkeeps. brewey and
distiIlery workers. wagon drivers. ETC. out of Employ
nent The other was that property values would be
ruined If all the saloons were closed. On prominent cor
ners and IN other choice locations the saloons paid high
rentals, higher than other lines could afford, SO it was
declared, and thus the forced closing Of the saloons
meant inevitable disaster and a general arrangement OF
real estate values, says the Manufacturers Record.

Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON
JAY WALKERS

The men who drive the choo-choo
boats are pinched and fined some use
full greats, when they're discovered
speeding; and all the witnesses ap-
plaud when Justice soaks them for
their wad-they get just what they're
needing. The motorists are much to
blame, and folks are always crying,
"Shame!" We daily hear their drool-
ings; but half the trouble on the street
Is caused by jays who ply their feet
without regard to rulings. The man
on foot breaks all the laws, breaks
every rule that ever was, nor cares a
cheap suspender; and when my auto
runs him down, and spreads his frag-
ments through the town, find I've no
defender The people gather round
my car and talk of feathers and of
tar in tones that throb with passion;
the man on foot's a sacred jay; the
motorist is wrong always: and stiff
fines are the fashion. / drive my car
with ceaseless care, and yet I'm al
ways in despair, jay walkers are so
busy; they get before my chugging
vain, as though determined to be
slain, they are so brash and dizzy
They cross the street where'er they
please, between the moving cars they
squeeze, they dodge at every angle;
and when I've driven for a mile 1 can
no longer sing and smile-my nerves
are all a-jangle.
