Women Are Learning Trickery

1t looks like the women in Missouri
in both parties are learning the ways
that are dark" in political trickery
early in he game. Be careful, girls.
1t does not pay. Things are just be-
ginning to happen which will soon
purge the two great parties of crook
ed politicians and officeseekers. Hon.
esty is always best. Some of our po-
litical crooks have gotten by" (as
some say) for long. long time, but
they are turning on the search lights
and what the light is showing in both
parties is a plenty. There are more
good people in this country than
there are bad. Don't forget that

has issued its slate. and told the vot-
ers whom they should. ard should not

this organization to force through the
Eighteenth amendment are now well

FIRST SNIPE FROM THE LISTEN
ING POST

Senator Harding is conducting his
battle from his advanced listening
post'--his front porch and If his
subsequent shots are as wild as his
first broadside from this listening
post" the shots as returned by Gov
ernor Cox and Franklin Roosevelt are
likely to drive him from his exposed
position to the cellar.
1t is likewise equally patent that

believe that stronger ticket could

their doubts will vanish with their
perusual OF the Cox and Roosevelt
retorts to the Harding assault. The
democratic nominees not only repelled
the somewhat slow and heavy as
sailant but they scattered him over
the landscape. 1t was the finest ex-
hibition Of unconscious and premedi-
tated team work that ever was pre-
sented in American politics,
Governor Cox, by the senator's own
words cOnvicts him OF being "as far
removed from the running current of
progressive thought as the senatorial

Smoot has been removed from the
heartb,ats of the American people for
a year or more"
As.
characterization, and one that will
sink into the consciousness Of the
American people.
without question Senator Harding
is now convinced that he should have
thought twice before he said that a
democratic victory means the treaty
and the league will be ratified" That
is precisely what the democrats have
been coutcudiug: it is the promise
they purpose TO base their campaign
upon, and it is what republicans have
denied and branded as absurd. Sena-
tor Harding, AS the standard bearer,
admits it, And as by unmlstakable I'M
plifi.atioD he declares that a rcpubli-
can victory means there will be no
ratification. Roosevelt promptly takes
up that challenge and says:

thus becoming early and clearly
drawn, A democratic victory means

WHAT BUSINESS MAY EXPECT

platforms have been promulgated.
ore of the most important of the
things that so to make up the pros
perity OF the United States comes to
the forefront and that is, what has
business to expect from the candi-
dates and the platforms.
In the first place the league of ma
tions has been thought of particular
Iy as a political issue. 1t Is no less
an economic issue. II there is to be
no league, no international police,
the United States must constantly
prepare for war. With the country
already crying for relief from an on
erous burden of taxation still heavier
dues will have to be levied to build
stronger armaments. If the game of
international politics is to be played
according to the old rules It must be
played harder than ever before.
AS counterpart of this nationalic-
tic program there would have to be
expected a recurrence of tariff wars,
of Subsidies and Of economic imper-
Ialism in every form. To favored
groups it would prove highly profit
able. On the mass of business 1t
would impose a tremendous burden.
James VI. Cox is pledged to sup
pert the Versailles treaty. including
the league OF nations covenant. Mr..
Harding Is pledged to nothing. His
platform allows him to take any po-
sition on the treaty he chooses. on
this issue business interests favorable
to the league will prefer Mr.. Cox.
In the field Of business organiza-
tion the republicans have definite
proposal. The zone Of doubt" as 10
What constitutes violation Of the anti
trust laws is to be eliminated by re-
quirinS the federal commission to
make decisions in advance, The
commission has repeatedly asserted
that such a practice was impossible.
The democrats indorse the work of
the commission and recommend that
its control over business be extended
to the use of patents in the restraint
of trade.
on the subject of taxation the Chi
cago platform makes no definite
recommendation. Any ideas which its
authors may have had as to the prop
er way to adjust the war time tax
program to peace time needs are safe
ly concealed in their language.
The democrats propose changes in
the direction Of simplification and
modification after a complete survey
has been made Of tho existing tax
machinery. Governor Cox has already
committed himself on the subject Of
national taxation, He opposes the
| excess profit tax as a measure repres-
siyo 10 industry and "a considerable
factor in the high cost Of living"
It comes down to a question of the
| degree Of confidence business men
have reason to feel in the candidates
and the platforms, Harding has
never been tested in an executive po-
sition. In his six years as governor
Cox has proved himself a clear-head-
cd business man. His administrator
has been marked by fairness thai
has brought him the cooperation Of
business men Of all parties. There is
nothing in his record TO suggest tha'
as president he would be anythinl
but fair to business.
