meaning of that JUNCTION This
Is republican year," 1t means,
to those who cling to it, that this
year Americans will not vote dis
criminately and that therefore
any candidate who pledges a
change-even a change back to
old days of invisible government
and boss rule and sectional tariffs,
and pork pot pies will be elected.
This is. the whole psychology
of the nomination of Harding.
No one knew better than the
Chicago auctioneers-the power
full. close corporation of Old
Guard politicians that Harding
was not the popular choice and
would not be a popular candidate,
but they reasoned that since the
people were for anybody that
bore a republican label, they
might as well .get what they
wanted. too. So they nominated
the sort of a man they wanted and
wrote the sort of a platform they
wanted. The people don't care,
they reasoned; they are discon-
tented and disgusted and dis
gruntled; now is the time to
bring back the good old days.
Of such a psychology was born
the phrase This is a republican
year. There is no more basis
for it than for any soothsayer's
prediction. 1t is predicted upon
the false belief that the Ameri-
can people are going to take a
years vacation from thinking
for themselves and be hived like
bees by the ringing of bells and
the use OF smudge pots. Putting
It bluntly, the republicans base
their expectations of winning
upon their ability to anaesthetize
the public consciousness.
1t is an insulting estimate of
the intelligence of the American
people. 1t smacks of the con-
tamptuous statement of the faith
er of the republican party-Alex-
ander Hamilton, a contemporary
of Jefferson. the father of the
democratic party, Hamilton and
Jefferson. were guests at a BAN
quet and jefferson had respond
ed 10 the toast THE People. I"
Flushed with wine, Hamilton
rose unsteadily and declared
The people the people-your
people are a hydra-head, d
beast!" If Hamilton was right,
this may be "a republican year. !"

HARDING'S JUNKERISM

The objection to Candidate
Harding's first utterance on the
subject of Americanism is not
that it was addressed to a phono-
graph or that it is to be repro
duced mechanically. Notable
speeches have been canned in
this way, but in the present case
the thoughts and words of the
orator had been subjected to in.
tellectual embalming so ancient
that the instrument which re-
produces them might almost seem
to be delivering a communication
from the dead.
Nothing in Mr.. Hard n rs pane
gyric on nationalism would be
amiss in the choicest circles of
the Junkers who lead the Pan
Germans. {. His heroics in behalf
of America as a hermit, with
drawing itself from outside asso-
Citations, coincide exactly with
the theories and practices of the
old regime in Japan and the
Manchu dynasty in China, which
retained its hatred of foreign
devils TO the day of its extinction.
The bearing of the candidates
eloquence, of course, is upon the
League of Nations. of which he
says that we require no council
of foreign powers to point the
way of American duty" Amer
lea is to preserve the peace, pro.
tect small nations and give good
counsel on a grand scale, but al
ways le-handed. And yet
Elihu Root, who wrote the treaty
plank of the republican platform,
is now in Europe attempting to
establish a world court of justice
at whose bar the United States
may some time have to plead.
Mr.. Harding is in thorough &C.
cord with the war lords of Prus-
sia, whose idea of an al-sufficient
nationality defeated two confer
ences at The Hague and led
straight. to the most wicked of
all wars. The fixed records of
his talking machines apply un-
deviatingly to the great Republic
the very doctrine that brought
the German Empire to ruin. -

SOUTHWEST THRIVING

Not long ago the Kansas City
Star printed a story about the
effect of winterin Canada on live
stock. 1t told of the tragedy of
farmers in Alberta who shot their
starving cattle so that they
might not freeze as well as stal We.
One farmer is reported to have
shot himself after shooting his
his cattle, such was his despair.
More than 1000 head of cattle
froze in Alberta last winter.
Cattle raising is one of the big
industries of. the Southwest.
The progressive people who have
settled up this country have ban
ished the once famous longhorD,
and the Southwest is covered
with hundreds of thousands of
sleek, fat Herefords and other
choice breeds. In winter, the
climate is mild alike to man and
beast. The number of cattle
from the northwest fed in Texas
last winter was 175,000. The
number of sheep. $50, 900.
Progress has been made in
things other than cattle raising.
Where once the rattlesnake and
the cactus held unmolested sway
a SIS. 600, 600 corporation is now
growing cotton in Arizona. The
Goodyear interests, known as the
Southwest Cotton Company, have
30, 900 acres under cultivation
and plan to acquire rs, 900 more.
Other companies are watching,
for the cotton grown by this con-
cern is the finest anywhere.
This same company is operating
a pony blimp service for its own
people between Phoenix and Los
Angeles. Ten years ago Who'd
a believed it"
Next to mining, which is Ariz.
ona's first industry, and to cot
ton growing, which may become
Arizona's second. dairying is
coming iii for most attention.
In northern Arizona, where many
rd-headed pioneers said it
couldn't be done, is one of the
largest dairying centers in the
world. Just the other day five
carloads of specially raised Salt
River milk cows were sent into
northern Arizona to form part
of the dairying industry there.
There is already a hint of a m TX
condensing factory up there.

the angora goat industry, is

POLITICAL COMMENT
JAMES MIDDLETON cox

III nominating GONeIHOI udtHSs
Middleton Cox of Ohio for pres
ident of the United States the
Democratic party undoubtly pick
ed the strongest man in the race.
The national convention is to be
congratulated upon its good
judgment, particularly so be-
cause of the trying circumstances
under which final action was
taken.
Gov ernor Cox is qualified in
every way for the high office OF
chief executive, and he is a can
didate upon whom virtually all
discordant party elements can
unite. His nomination should
be acceptable to all factions with
the possible exception of a few
followers of William Jennings
Bryan. who do not appear TO be
very influential, Judging from
the balloting on the Bryan plat
form planks at San Francisco.
The fact that Governor Cox is
not a member of the national
administration should be pleasing
to those Democrats who feared
the effect of a campaign cry
against perpetuating the Wilson
dynasty" while the staunchest
supporters of the administration
can find nothing Objectionable in
either the Ohio governors policies
or record. He is liberal enough
in his views on prohibition en-
forcement to suit the eastern
democrats, and at the same time
not wet" enough to displease
any but the most fanatical
"drys." Besides, the action of
the convention IN eliminating
prohibition as an issue in the
campaign did much to clear the
air regarding that subject.
Another factor of Importance
els that Governor Cox is from
Ohio. which also is the home
state of Senator Harding, the
republican nominee. Ohio un-
doubtly will be one of the pivotal
states of the campaign and the
democrats recall jubilantly that
Cox three times has carried the
state for governor. They claim
he can carry. the state over
Harding in the presidential cam
paign and also that he can carry
New York and New Jersey.
On this basis the nomination of
Cox was sound politics, for three
northern states of the size of
these in addition to the ''solid
south would be almost enough
to mean a democratic victory.
By a rather singular circum-
stance. both Cox and Harding
are newspaper men, thus making
it certain that next March, for
the first time, a newspaper man
will become the official resident
of the White House. Cox. how
ever, has been more active as an
editor than Harding, whose ex-
perience has been entirely on a
comparatively small country
newspaper. Cox has worked in
almost every capacity on metro
politan newspapers and has been
the owner and editor for two
years of two important Ohio
daily publications.
Cox has had plenty of exper-
ience in public life. He served
three terms in congress and is
the only man ever elected three
times to the governorship of Ohio
with the sole exception of Ruth
erford B. Hayes, who left the
office to become president, which
may also be said to augur we'll for
Cox.
On the whole, the democrats
have done well. Despite innum-
cradle complications they manag-
ed to frame a satisfactory plat
form and out of the ruck and tur-
moil of a deadlocked convention
they picked the best candidate.
