A Hope That Is Only Foam

The gentle sage from Kansas, Will
lam Allen White, has been roaming
among the delega es in San Fran
cisco and getting the distilled spirit
CT their thoughts. He writes;
THE pure immoral politics OF the
situation points to the wisdom OF the
Democracy going wet. II is the real
hope of Democratic success
THE South and East plus one
Middle State, like Ohio, Indiana or
Iknois,. and one Western State, like
California, which Is normandy wet,
would produce a majority in the
electoral college There it lies, the
Presidency for the picking"
The calculations of Mr.. White are
not new. They have been brewing
in the brain Of every wet Democratic
Icandidate-and some dry ones-for
months. Long ago the followers Of
Tammany Hall came to realize that
without one issue which appealed to
somebody somewhere their candidat-
es for Congress- and Governor were
beaten before the battle opened.
The trouble with thier he pes and
with William Allen Whites figures
is that there is too much of balance
on the other side of the ledger. When
the voter, assuming that he longs for
moisture, looks back at the Demo
cratic record of war waste and unfair
taxa ion, of Burlesonism and Baker.
ISM Of Wilsonsian pretence and u'oc
racy, is it likely that he is going to
forget I. for a promise, Democratic
promise, of glass of beer?-New

OF the senators whose terms expire
on the fourth of next March, seven
teen are Democrats and fifteen are
Republicans. Should every one Of
hese fifteen Republican senator's be
replaced by Democrats there would
still be thirty-four Republican sena-
tors, or more than third OF the total
membership of the senate, and the
reaty could not be ratified, The
fifteen Republican senators Will not
all be defeated Furthermore the
seventeen Democratic senators whose
terms expire are not likely to all
come back, Eleven OF them are from
surely Demo cratic states, mostly in
the South but aside from these eleven
there is a probability of electing Re-
lpublicans to succeed them, SO there
is no possibility of electing senate
that will ratify the Wilson compact
II the Democrats are sincere in their
demand for the treaty and league they
should cast their vote for the Repub-
lican candidate for president.
If there is Republican victory the
ratification of the treaty and league
covenant with reservations will be as
sured. Senator Harding voted fer
such a treaty and league and would
champion it before the next senate.
Former President Taft sums up the
situation well when he says.
The nub of the referendum to
which Mr., Wilson invites the people
of the United States really is whether
by voting for the democratic candi-
date, we shall supper an impossible
ideal and have no league at all, or
whether, by voting for the Republi.
can candidate, we shall actually en-
ter the league and help the world"
Senator Johnson concentrated the
Americans who desire no league and
secured only about a fourth Of the del
egates to the Republican convention

American people to vote for man

Sure Death fer Treaty

There is every indication. the Demo
cratic convention will fully endorse
the stand of President Wilson on the
treaty OF peace and the league of ma
tons and that whoever it dominates
will be committed to the treaty in ex.
actly the same terms that President
Wilson brought it back from Paris. 1t
will be in the same form the senate
rejected. The Wilson treaty and
league will be made the supreme is
sue of the campaign, probably under
the championship of new man but

Vermont farmers complain that
they are unable to get help to harvest
their crops. One reason is that they
do not have the conveniences of
hunting up available men and do not
know how to go about it. Just now
in many cities and larger towns there
are men out of work or not employed
on full time. Some OF these are Will.
ing TO go out and help on the farms.
The farmers should advertise for help
just the same as an industrial plant
does. II there is any farmer in Ben
nington county unable to get help for
ihaying who wants to advertise fer a
man. The Banner will insert an .ad-
yertisement for him without cost
The advertisement must be plainly
written and give the name and adj
dress of the person desiring to hire.

Vermont hotels like Vermont roads
are sometimes abused and equally
without sufficient reason. No doubt
there are a few hotels in Vermont
where rates are too high fer what
they offer and where the service Is
not what il should be, but this sort
are few in number and should not
bring discredit on the scores OF really
good hotels with which Vermont Is
provided. During the recent moor

was Hyde Manor at Sudbury. This
beautiful summer hotel is not on tbs
main line Of travel but 1t has his
tory and distinction seldom or never
equaled. 1t has been in the Hyde
family since the place first became a
hotel in 1901 and is now owned by the
fifth sir. Hyde in direct line. This
is believed to be the frs hotel in the,
United STATES which made business
of entertaining summer bqarders.
Starting 800 years ago as little more
than large farmhouse on the old

STRIKE WILL NOT
MAKE SUGAR SHORTAGE

HONOLULU, T. H., Apr. 8. (By
MaiD Danger of damage to the
1920 sugar crop of the Island of
Oahu, from the laborers' strike has
passed, according to Royal d. Mead,
secretary of the Hawaiian Sugar
Planters association
"All the mills on Oahu are run
ming more than half time" Mead
continued, "and are turning cut two
thirds of their sugar-making capac-
ity. That is close enough to normal
to insure the safety of the crop"
T. Tsutsumi, membership secre-
tary of the japanese Federation of
Labor, is reported to have told a re-
cent meeting of striking sugar cane
workers here that the walkout would
be extended from the Island of Oahu
to all islands.
According to published transla-
tions of Tsutsumi's remarks, he in
formed his hearers that the fedora
tion could hold out in a four-year
strike if necessary.

WRONG DIAGNOSIS

TOXIC, March IS. (By Mail. y
When the influenza epidemic pene-

Formosa and began to PROSTATE the
fierce head-hunters, they called a
meeting of the tribe and diagnosed
the difficulty as a gas attack by Jap
anese, who control the island In
revenge the head-hunters made a
sudden descent on the nearest police
station and a considerable force of
Japanese troops had to be dispatch
ed to disperse them.
