HOPELESS OUTLOOK.

There is a significance in the plea that is made by Governor Smith of New York that cannot be overlooked Governor Smith has been renominated by the democrats and he has accepted but in his acceptance speech he asks with considerable display of earnest ness that the state campaign be kept free from national issues
 Think of it! The governor of the great state of New York wants to have his campaign for reelection, which cam paign is to be conducted at the same time that the presidential campaign is one kept free from national issues. There is only one inference that can be attached to that and that is that he, is not in sympathy with the democrAtic attitude on national issues, that he can not conscientiously support them and consequently he doesn't want to get mixed up therein.
 That seems like a body blow to the supporters of Governor Cox, for when the candidate for the governorship of ! the most influential state in the coun- 1 try believes that he can be elected ii efforts are not made to help along the democratic national campaign it is a
 telling commentary on democratic pros poets in New York state.
 Governor Smith has apparently beer
 listening to the sentiment as expressed
 throughout New York state. It is nof 1 improbable that he has been studying
 the result in the state of Maine where
 even if it was state election, the na
 tional issues featured the campaign
 When the governor of New York con
 siders that the national issues of hi. party are a lodegtone about his neck
 it adds one more and an effective strav
 to those which are showing the politica l tendency throughout the country. Suci
 an attitude on the part of a democrats
 state executive is but preparing his par ty for the coming election of a repub lican president, a stronger republican
 congress and in all probability 8 repub
 lican governor in New York state

Now oswald.- said the pretty wife as she fastened her gloves you just order what you want for dinner Hilnla can prepare almost anything. I'm dreadfully sorry that have to go but I just must. "
 What you want for dinner?" came the question from the doorway where Hilma stood expectantly.
 "Beefsteak and onions." said the mas ter of the house unconcernedly as he puff ed at his pipe.
 'Now Oswald, do think little about what you want and don't be so offhand about it. always think and think and plan what we'll have-what goes best to- gether''-said the pretty wife with a pout
 Whats the matter with beefsteak and onions?' asked the master of the house.
 Nothing, only I always" the pretty wife wrinkled her forehead in an intense effort to think.
 T suppose I had better just wait few minutes and plan it out myself shs continued. Usually I take more than 2 few minutes, but" she paused and he, eyes seemed to turn themselves inward as she examined her mental index o suitable dinners. How would chicken { la King be? Hilna can do that quit, welhand then the chicken that's left over giblets and all can be used in q Iittl, chicken hash for tomorrow night" T don't like hash, especially that stuf that Hilma labels as hash" said tn master of the house.
 Yes, but Oswald. we can't waste any thing. you know. And there's alway quite a good deal of the chicken Jeff And besides, we have some mushrooms il the house. They're canned ones, but l that that they're still good. Hilma nigh l open them before she orders the chicken. The pretty wife looked toward the mai l questioningly.

MUST PROTECT OURSELVES.

It has been intefesting to note what efforts are being put forth in Europe 10 get back to pre- war conditions It is appreciated what sort of a struggle is ahead and there is being displayed the disposition to meet it. There it is rec ognized that there must be restoration Of production, and foreign trade is be- ing looked for as the market in which 10 get the business for reducing the in- debtedness that has been piled up. And in the struggle sight is not lost of the fact that long hours and low prices must prevail for a considerable period and that through such industrial condi- tions it will be possible to expect a con stantiy increasing trade in all countries and especially those where the standard of living is higher.
 Europe is going to look to the nations to which it owes money to furnish the business that will make it possible for it to pay it's debts. Just what this means was well pointed out by Senator Harding at his speech in Baltimore this week when in calling attention tt the fact that we are the creditor coun try today declared: Larger exports oi IneICndHdlSe rom the QeDIOr 10 thf creditor country remains as the line o, least resistance; and to this course ", must be prepared to see Europe bend ing every effort. It is the natural wal in which restorations from war must b' wrought Put a flood of imports iron debtor countries intent upon stimulatin, ihec productive output. and aided, evel thorgh undesignedly, by an unfavorabl foreign exchange, would be a bitter experience for the creditor country. W mean to deal considerably, we want t help. but we do not me ar to paralyz America to effect a restoration"
 He further inoisted that it would b letter that cur credits remained unccl lected than to have the liquidation eor1e in the form of flood of under mining products that would crippl, American industry degrade America labor and weaken our whole economi fabric"
 The importance of being alive to thi situation and its danger can be well ar preciated. Certain efforts were mad through the merchant marine act t safeguard our position but the presider has refused to abide by the provision Sf the law. The nation, however. wi not fail to be on it's guard for the pro tection of it's own welfare by tariff law that will prevent the dumping of chea European goods on the American maj ket.

INEFrEcrTyE HANDFUL.

Much is being made by the democrats of the fact that certain number of progressives have come out in support of Governor Cox. They seem to regard this as evidence that they are leaders of a large number and that their action indicates that many of those who fol- lowed Roosevelt in 1912 are going to fall in line and give their support to Cox. That is unauestionably ethe desire of these bull moosers but there is noth- ing whatever to warrant any such as- sumption.
 The seven or eight bull meosers are doing no more now than they did four years ago. They were enthusiastic ad- vocates for President Wilson in 1916 and according to the course they are following now they are desirous that there shall be maintained at Washing ton those very same policies which the Wilson administration has been prornot- ing to the great disgust of large number of democrats as well as other partisans and independents.
 Pretty good evidence has been fur nished throughout the country thai there is desire for a change, that the
 Wilson policies must be brought to ar end instead of being continued and tha the United States remain under tht Stars and Stripes instead of casting it l lot under the flag of the Wilson leagu' of nations.
 1 Such bull moosers as are working fo i Cox are simply doing what they dit eight years ago in electing Presiden
 Wilson and four years ago in keepinl
 him in office because 'he kept us out o
 war" The assistance gained from thes I bull moosers is not likely to be large l but whatever it is evidence grows
 that it will be much more than offse | by the democratic votes that will b
 thrown to the republican ticket becaus l of Wilsonism and the determination t
 see that Cox has no opportunity to con tinue it. Progressives are, not going | be wheedled into following any sucl ] leadership. They are back right wher
 they belong in the republican party.

DO A COMPLETE JOB.

From the testimony that has been given and from the confessions that nave been made by the players there gan be no question but what the Chi ago players were offered and accepted eribes amounting to something like ys0, 300 for throwing the last worlds se- ries. They were willing to do what was necessary to carry out their part of the crooked scheme and they succeeded ir their object. Some got all they expect ed while others got less. The inquiry by the grand jury appears to havt found out about what the ballplayers received for their dishonesty to tht management, their teammates and tht pdblic in general.
 But there is more to this crooked bus Iness than the part the members of thu White Sox played They did the dirt, work. There were those who suggested he plan to them, who lured them o1 by the bribes and who arranged the en

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Prolific Pole Beans From France

MT. Editor: I was reading in The Bulletin yesterday about the great pump kin yield of J. B. Palmer, which I thought was the largest I ever heard of Now I have nothing to say about pumpkins, but friend of mine who went to France in the world war gave me eleven pole beans that he brought from France. I planted two hills, five in one hill and six in the other. From those two hill picked 2lz pods and I shelled out 1912 beans, which I think was very good yield. I am saving them to plant next year as they are four weeks earlier than any I ever planted. ! am sending some so you can try your luck another year.
 Yours respectfully.
