On the Job Again

Delivering labor to the Demo-
cratic party is the regular biennial
job of Samuel Gompers and the CO.
terie of fellow Democrats who have
managed to get control of the mach
inery of the American Federation of
Labor. Being a strong partisan
Democrat with a son on the admins
tration payroll and having been the
beneficiary of all sorts of political and
personal favors at the hands of the
administration, being, besides, an
alien-born advocate of the un-Amer-
icanized covenant of the league of
nations, it is not surprising to note
that Mr. Gompers is rather more en-
thusiastic than usual this year in his
efforts to hand over the ''labor vote"
to his fellow Democratic politicians.
Doubtless there is ample warrant for
the statement of the New York
World, Democratic organj that no
matter what happens at San Fran
cisco, Mr.. Gompers and his coterie
will be against the Republican ticket
in this campaign as they have been
in all previous campaigns, no matter
what the candidates or the issues.
But it is pretty clear that when Mr.
Gompers has made his usual partisan
fight for the Democratic ticket, and

For Dormtories in State Schools
C. W. MILLER, SR.

s'There will be 1900 girls IN the
state schools without accommodations
next year if the dermitory bill fails
in the legislature" said Mrs. w. H.
Kerr, dean of women at the Kansas
State Normal School in Emporia,
when she returned from a meeting
of the Special Dormitory Committee
composed of five deans of women OF
the state schools, who met in Tope-
ka, last Wednesday. "The need has
become so pressing" continued Mrs.
Kerr. "that a very special effort is
to be put forth before and after the
primaries"
The Federated Women's Club in
meeting at Hays passed the follow
ing resolution: Resolved; that the
question of dormitories is the most
important to come up for considera-
ton in the next legislature.
The Kansas Council of Women,
The Federation Of Women's Clubs,
w. C. T. u, in fact all women's or
CARNATIONS of the state, both past
and present as well as the Rotary
Clubs and Chambers of Commerce,
are to be enlisted in the statewide
campaign for dormitories according
to Mrs. Kerr. The state has been di-
vided into districts and these subdi-
vided until there will be concentrat-
ed effort in every county to bring the
need for dormitories before the vo-
tiers, so that only men in sympathy
with the need will be sent to the
State Legislature.

of your letter. I have received many
hundreds of other communications
from friends advising various courses
with respect to the situation that
eventuated at Chicago, for undoubt
eddy many of the Independent and
progressive Republicans, like myself,
are greatly disappointed over some
tendencies that were apparent at Chi
cago. The Chicago platform is not
radical; the greater part of it is con-
structive and progressive; nothing
prevents the compromise planks on
labor, the league, etc., from being
given a forwardlooking interpreta-
ton; some things, including a reor-
ganization of our election expendi-
lures and the primaries, are not ade-
quately dealt with.
GO In these times when the great
problems and issues created by the
war are new and are so complex, we
must expect a wide divergence of
view among the members of the party
oO " CAAC ny LuSy are
to be met. It follows, therefore, that
if there was to have been unity in the
convention, there had to be large
measure of compromise The COM
promises on the platform, and the
candidate are proof that we have not
arrived at an era of new political and
social tendencies for this same
reason, the same divergent groups
and the same attitude of compromise
will be found in the Democratic con-
vention.
L" Nothing could be more disastrous
than the development Of several party
representing the COM
plexion of every group in the coun-
try. With the legislative and execu-
tive functions more widely separated

than in any other democracy, the
whole process of constructive govern
ment will come to an end if we have
more than two dominant parties. If
we should come to this position, there
will be no possibility of the American
people securing an expression of the
will of the majority and we shall be
entirely ruled by log rolling minor
tiles or sterile political coalitions.
4 am convinced that those of US
and I believe they are the majority
of the party-who hold more definite
views, could not, even were we so in
clined, successfully effect the con-
summation of such views outside the
party, and that our duty is to en-
deavor to bring them to realization
within the party organization itself
as the issues on which they bear arise.
The tendencies of the party will gain
their meaning only from actual ad-
ministration.
-" I am convinced that unity of ac-
ton among the liberal thinkers of the
party, especially if they exert them
selves in the current of congressional
elections, will insure the country
against legislative reaction.
" IF the Republican party is not to
be irrevocably split cannot conceive
that Senator Harding will for one mo-
ment submit the administrative side
of the government to the domination
of any group or coterie. Furthermore
We have the possibility of having ad-
ministrative measures and policies de-
termined by full cabinet responsible
ity, and of having cooperation re-
stored with the legislative side of the
government. l need not reiterate my
conviction that the constructive abil-
ity so critically needed for the vigor-

as a Washington lobbyist as a last

Republican labor unionists, of whom

Herbert Hoover Issues Statement in
Support of Senator Harding

Herbert Hoover Issues Statement in
Support of Senator Harding
Herbert Hoover was in Washington
last week and called upon Republic
ans generally to support in every way
the candidacy of Senator Warren G..
Harding. Mr.. Hoover's statement was
issued following meeting with the
Republican nominee which was held
at Mr.. Harding's suggestion, but it
consisted in the main of a letter
which showed that the former food
administrator already had taken steps
to insure party unity at the November
election.
The text of Mr.. Hoover's statement
follows:
''I breakfasted with Senator Hard
ing this morning at the Senator's in
vitation. I presented the views which
1 believed were held by a considerable
group Of independent and progressive
Republicans upon various questions.
The Senator stated that it was his
most sincere desire to be the instru-
mentality for bringing the divergent
elements of the party together; that
the views of both the conservative
and progressive wings of the party
would be fully represented in the ad-
ministration: that he represented no
particular group, but that he consid-
cred it was his first duty as leader
of the party to consolidate all ele-
ments into a united front. He will,
of course, issue no statement until
after the Democratic convention, and
then after consultation with all sides.
'My own position on various issues
is well enough known, and as to the
party situation I cannot make it more
clear than the following letter which
I sent to friends in different parts of
the country ten days ago and before
l had any communication with Sena-
tor Harding:

Gus business reorganization of the

For all these reasons, I believe
that those of US who look upon party
organization, not from the point of
view of partisanship, but solely from
the point OF view of its usefulness as
an agency OF maximum service to the
country, should support the Repub-
lican party at the polls.

Poison for killing hoppers is very
scarce this year, and the supply will
probably not be sufficient for the
needs. IF the hoppers are numerous,
arrangements should be made to Sc
cure the poison as early as possible.
Every farmer should have his poison
