called parochial school bill
amendment to the constitution
OF Michigan. II we thought for
a moment that the amendment
would receive the approval or
the voters Of this state, we would
consider it great menace But
the mere fact that certain sec
tarians may be arrayed for or
against the project has nothing
to do with our attitude.
The Free Press cannot see that
all virtue resides in the RANKS or
either capital or labor Both
make mistakes; both are guilty
Of misdeeds; both sometimes be-
have admirably. Primarily this
newspaper is for the great gen
eral public. Consequently. il re-
serves the privilege of criticisinS
or commanding capital and labor
impartially; and dares TO think
that it generally succeeds in be-
ing fair.
But We are not endeavoring to
enunciate all our beliefs in de-
tail While the whole world is
making platforms and stating
principles, we are merely indi-
eating in general way what is
our conception of the proper atti-
tude for an American newspaper.
We warn the reader. however,
that our belief in independence
is a belief W holly hostile to
pussyfooting or hedging, and that
we may sometimes speak out in
meeting in a rather direct and
emphatic manner. Liberty that
merely produces silence or color
lessness is not real liberty at all.
1t is desuetude
The Free Press endeavors to
be alive to its enormous respon.
sibility as forum of some con-
sequence. and it never will de-
scend to the expedient of print
ing either news or opinion for
the mere purpose of getting cir
culation or Increasing profits.

STRUGGLE FOR POLITICAL EQUALITY

It is not strange that the struggles for po-
litical equality having eliminated, agitation
should be directed to economic equality. Equal
ity in benefits, equality in economic distribu-
ton, is sought but in a society which is essen
tialIy cooperative, where the SUM total of pro-
duction is the result of the joint efforts Of the
entire community, it is unavoidable that distri-
button shall be based, by some system, upon
the contributions of each individual to the total
sum-
1t is said that conditions are going to be diff
fcrent in the future from what they have been
III the past; that in the division between capital
and labor labor viii receive more and capital
less than in the past. But the economic law
will be the same in the future as in the past.
The man who is industrious and attentive to
his work, whatever it is, will fare better than
the man who is ndolent and Indifferent; the
man who is thrifty, who has the resolution to
deny himself in order to and invest for in
creasing production will fare better than the
hnan who does not deny himself and saves moth
ling. The man who has executive ability, who
lean plan and organize and direct others and SC
tmake industry more productive will fare bet
Her than the man who does only what he is told
AL this is as it must be in the interest Of soca
progress. One cannot interfere with the work
lngs OF these economic principles without reduc

A CURE FOR EGOMANIA.

New light is thrown ON the possibilities of
amnesia by the experience recorded by recent
sufferer from it. It seems a professional man,
discouraged by the lack of money and worn out
by working to increase his income, fell into a
lapse Of memory lasting some three months.
When he recovered, he found himself possessed
Of new clothes, Liberty loan bond or two and
several hundred dollars; ia short he returned
to his former sound mental condition much bet
ter off than before ha; amnesia experience.
There is food for thought here. Perhaps am
nesia by bringing stay to too much self-consid'-
Grafton, too much brooding over personal rights
and wrongs, too much egomania, mi ght do lot
for certain people who make major share Of
their own troubles Here is man xhs, by for
getting all about himself for time has solved
his difficulties.

and stick to it though the heavens
fall. He has a keen sense of human
needs. His experience as news
paperman of attainment, as a lawyer
OF marked ability and as public man
have taught him how necessary it Is
to keep in touch with the dominant
thought of the people
The republican party has nomi-
mated real man, man Of brains
and OF common sense, a genuine
American, to head it's ticket and to
be the next president of the United
States.

WHAT HAPPENED TO CLAUDE

Cedar Rapids Republican: They
treated Claude Porter, of Iowa, rather
roughly at the San Francisco conyen-
ton. Claude is something of an
orator, and he was selected to pre-
sent to the astonished delegates the
name of E. Il. Meredith, who was re-
Gently appointed secretary of agricul-
ture, but who has spent most OF his
time running for other offices or run
ming about something else. But
Claude, who is himself one Of the
federal officeholders, a member Of
find a ready market for his wordy
wares. The correspondent of the Des
Moines Capital sends back the fol
lowing description of what happened
to Claude:
Special writer's for the San Fran
cisco papers are Kidding Claude Por-
ter over his nominating speech. Had
Porter made good On his promise to
make short speech he would have
won undying gratitude. But he weak
ened and insisted upon giving long
winded introduction in which the
democratic party was lauded and the
republicans excoriated. BY the time
he reached the Meredith end Of his
address the galleries were all but
booing' him. This is what Damon
Runyon has TO say about Mr.. Porter:
There were sundry second speeches
and then Claude R Porter got ire
mendous cheer when he said he
would take just few minutes. but
he did not keep the promise. Not
very long winded gent. Porter
And this is the way Peter Kyne
describes him in the Examiner:
".Claude r. Porter, of Iowa, said
he'd be brief when he rose to n0mi-
nate Meredith, but he double-crossed
us and won the undying hatred of all
present He seemed trying to con-
ceal the identity of his candidate I'M
til the hoarse demands of an over
strained audience forced the unwiil-
ing admission from his lips. If Iowa
grew corn as long as Porter nomi-
nation speech, starving Armenia
would rise up and call her blessed. :
Our Claude, who has been used by
the democrats from times imm emo
rial to run for offices that no one
expects him to winnie has been the
yicarious sacrificiaI offering. but he
has made them repay him with sun
dry federal appointments-Claude
we repeat, is all right, but he is af-
flicted with what afflicts many men
who have the gifts of tongues
length, and probably at San Fran
cisco it was length without breadth
or depth. And he couldn't help that.

Tammany's Victory.

Ottumwa Courier: The nomination
of James r.. Cox for president by the
democrat convention spells triumph
for Tammany and reasserttan of the
reign of Murphy and his cohorts in
the councils Of the party which boasts
that it traces its lineage from Thomas
Jefferson.
Murphy, Tom Taggart and others
whose names do not rebound particu.
lar!y to the credit of the party they
honor with their memberships die

able to conceive . To form use.
full alliances abroad--to establish a
wise government at home-to in
prove the internal resources and
finances of the nation-would be the
generous objects of his care. He
would not allow his attention to be
diverted from these to intrigue for
personal connections to confirm his
own influence; nor would he be able
to reconcile it, either TO the dclieacy
of his honor or to the dignity of his
pride. to confound in the same per-
son the representative of the govern
ment and the little member of trad
ing company In council or de-
bate he would discover the candor of
Ia statesman, jealous for truth; and
the integrity of patriot studious of
the public welfare; not the caviling
petulance of an attorney. contending
for the triumph OF an opinion. nor
the perverse duplicity of partisan,
devoted to the service of cabal.
Despising the affectation of superior
wisdom, he would prove the extent
of his capacity by foreseeing evils

Knoxville Journal: 1t will be many
a long year before any man is ELECTED
president OF the United States be-
cause he is wet.
Reinbeck Courier: If there is a
man in this state who believes that
Iowa's black dirt can be made into
acceptable roads for automobile traf-
fic, we wish he had been with US one
evening this week when we drove
fourteen miles over wet, muddy
roads If that sort Of test doesn't
convince man of the need for hard
surfaced roads, let the undertaken be
called and his body be given a de-
cent burial. for his brain is dead.
Waterloo Courier: We agree with
Vice President Marshall that a plat
form framed to lure this or that ele-
ment or class OF voters, rather than
one which is built in the interest Of
the American people as whole,
should lose out, and the party that
stands on it, as we'll
Des Moines Capital: Many million
people will be glad that ex-Secretary
NcAdoo was not nominated. Had he
been chosen, every issue pertaining
to President Wilson would have been
I'D for debate. AS it is, the country
may decide to go forward IN meas
ure forgetting the presidents desire
to rebuild the world
Marshalltown Times Republican:
Cox is a direct appeal to appetite as
well as to special interests. If the
wet plank failed to reach the plat
form, plenty OF moisture came with
the candidate-for Cox is wringins
wet, confessedly so, and was the raj
living point of all the wet forces IN
the convention
Waterloo Times-Tribune: With
Wilson platform, on which Cox
stands. and a candidate not OF the
Wilson administration, the democrats
may be said to have worked out a
pretty strong combination. HIS
friends say of Cox that he has q
dynamic energy, level head, and an
almost uncanny faculty OF sensing
public opinion. All Of which means
that there is going to be real po-
litical battle.
Webster City Freeman-Journai:
Third party cand idates will, OF
course, land in third place on cleo
ton day. That is where they belong,
and the people will insist upon them
keeping their place"
Monticello Express: The primary
law is getting its semi-annual Kick.
and as usual it comes out OF the
melee well battered. Notwithstand-
ing its general discredit, state legis'
Iators persist in keeping it on the
statute books The time may come
when lawmakers will give more heed
to the general welfare than they no"
give TO their own prospects. 1t does
not appear to be in sight, however.
Waterloo Times Tribune: When
