Chinese SIX in America.

The American demand for silk In
China has greatly increased In the
last few years until AT the present
time about % per cent of the Chinese
silk is sent to the United States. This
Is the result of American enterprise
more than that of the Chinese. The
japanese silks had been in favor for
q long time with the manufacturers
of this country but it was well I'M
derstOod that the quality of the Chi.
nese was superior, but 1t was not
adapted for use in this country be
cause of the manner in which II was
woven An American manufacturer
secured n moving picture reel show

men were induced to change theirs TO
system to conform with the demands
of the occidental customers. and the
industry has accordingly taken II great
jump.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Republican organization in jefferson
County will do all it can to discour-
age Gus A. Johnson from becoming
a candidate to succeed himself this
fall, we have it from good authority
that this will not deter him from be-
ing a candidate The Republican
organization are attempting to dis
courage him believing that if he runs
they don't stand a ghost of a show
for electing their candidate, whoever
he may be. On the other hand, the
Democrats are proud OF the record
made by Johnson and Cruise on the
board, as majority members and are
only anxious to present them to the
people again. While it is practically
certain that Johnson will receive the
nomination and accept it again, with
out opposition in the primaries, Mr..
Cruise has not said that he will be
candidate, on account of personal in
terests to be considered. Both men
deserve great credit for the loyal snd

NoN.PARTISAN LEAGUE MAY
REcOME STRICTLY PARTISAN

That the Non-Partisan League Is
to have party all its own in county
and state, at This juncture, is with'h
the pale Of possibility. When TINS
happens what is the status OF the
"non" we respectfully inquire! 1t
could hardly have been expected that
either one of the old parties would
be 10 short-sighted as to hand the
esyel over to member Of the new
and untried organization, notwith-
standing the fact that the "Non-Part-
izans" may have many points in their
favor as far as certain platform
blanks are concerned. Both parties
unquestionably recognize that it will
never do to turn deaf ear to all oil
the principles that are advocated by
the League, but at the same time the
pendulum must not be allowed to
swing TOO far in one direction.
Radicalism abounds in all reforms
and in all new movements. The goal
Of any reform is not reached by a
single mound, and should not come
until the country is prepared to re-
ceive them.
Many good cause has been lost
because of the over-zealous leaders,
who apparently want to turn the
world upside down by the simple
twist Of the wrist.
New parties bring with them new
burdens to be borne by the taxpayers
and the minority party gets no where
and in a large measure have merely
furnished the money for some of the
radical leaders to spend in the man.

q conservative amount to defray
personal expenses. Another thing,
it helps to bring out many ex-party
leaders whose feet have slipped be-
cause of undue activities in some Of
the other parties and gratifies their
personal ambitions to at least be con
sidered leaders" again.
Many Of tho members of the Nom
Partisan League really feel that
they have championed great cause
for the people They are really good
at heart, and the cause would be per-
fectly safe in their keeping, for they
would learn to crawl, so tospeak, be-

GOVERNOR cox VS.. BUSINESS

The fact that Governor Cox has
record Of executive forcefulness be-
hind him, in times of public stress, is
believed by some of the big newspa-
per editors of The country, regardless
of political complexion, to be reas-
suring to the business interests which
in former campaigns have been won't
to decry Democratic candidates for
president and howl that unless the
Republicans win the country is going
to the dogs. Added to this acknow-
ledgment concerning the Governors
qualifications Is the splendid record
of six years achievement of Demo-
cratic administration in which the ma
ton was submerged in tempestuous
sea with all the elements surging
against the grand old ship of state
in a supreme effort to dash her upon
the rocks, but thru which she sailed
majestically on into the harbor of
safety, but for the political typhoon
that still will rage till after the No
vember election.
The old gang dowr in Wall Street
used to be able to throw fit every
four years, or threaten to in order to
CONTROL the political situation, but
it did not take Democratic admin
istration long to put the kibosh on
that sort of thing by taking the mon
ey out of their vaults thru the fed
eral reserve, and scatter it about the
country SO they could not get at it
so easily. A few of the old school
are still afraid of a panic, but we
have gone thru the worst possible
stages attendant upon the war with
