GOOD DOCTRINE.

Cedar Falls Record: The demo
cratic platform takes the same ground
on the railroad situation as does the
republican. Referring to the Esch-Cum-
Minis law the platform declares: "There
should be complete and fair test of
the law until careful and mature ac-
ton may cure its defects and insure a
thoroughly effective transportation
system under private ownership, with
out government subsidy at the expense
Of the taxpayers" That's good doctrine.
What the country needs is to get back
to the old time habits of work and
efficiency. The government operation
of the railroads with its subsidy has
affected transportation in much the
same way that the cost plus system did
labor. Both We're demOralizing in the
extreme.

What kind of a campaign would the
Republican party now be facing had

Tense from the start, trying to explain

damn Senator Kenyon for what he did,
but the fact remains that he served
well his party and his country as

tons of large responsibility there
would be fewer things happen that look

THE ECONOMIC LAW.

Geo. E. Roberts: Karl Marx, the
great prophet of socialism, founded his
argument on what is called the Eco
nomic Interpretation of History" the
theory of which is that the whole
course of social evolution has been de-
termined by economic influences. He
held that every form and system
through which society had passed, or
which it had used, was necessary in its
time; that everything which has been,
had to be in it's stage of social history
as a result of what had preceded and
preparatory to what followed, and
that the economic needs Of society dom
mated the development. This philos-
ophy affords no support for the pro-
posals of modern socialism, except as 1t
can be shown that in the course Of this
natural evolution the time has come
when the maintenance of the social
order and it's noymal development are
dependent upon their adoption. Marx
thought such was the case seventy
years ago, but all his predictions have
failed of realization.
Thus, Karl Maryx, inpatient and
radical though he was, proclaimed the
Supremacy Of the economic Law"
which interpreted in everyday langu-
age is that society tends naturally and
inevitably to adopt from time to time
those institutions and policies and
methods which yield the largest eco
nomic results. Not the largest results
for day, but in the long run. Not
the largest for an individual, but for
society as whole.
In these days a vigorous attack is
made upon private property in land.
1t is said that since the use Of the
land is necessary to the support of the
population, private ownership of land
is in contravemion of public rights.
But private rights in land are based
upon the theory that land will be better
cared for and made more productive,
and therefore yield larger economic
results AMI contribute more to the pub
lie welfare, under n system which vests
absolute control, such as is assured
by title deeds, than under any other
system that has been tried. Both argu-

demonstrated, ,nobody. gan guess What
combination viii take place."
The News Department of the Repub-
lican National Committee furnishes
the following:
This was the position taken by
Gov. Cox during the campaign of
1916, when he was running For Gov
.ernor on the ticket with Woodrow
Wilson, stated both on the stump and
editorially.
Every indication now is that tens
of thousands of these splendid people
(Germans), still sympathizing with
the Fatherland, Still believing in the
righteousness of the German cause,
still hopeful that Germany will win
there Is every evidence that they
will vote for President Wilson for re-
election as the BEST MEANS OF
AIDING GERMANY, as well as be-
cause the reelection OF President
Wilson will be an aid to the United
States.
"Our German friends are coming to
understand that it does not just hap
pen, that most of the rabid anti-Ger-
man people in this country are for
Hughes. From Theodore Roosevelt
down the enemies of Germany are in
the Hughes band wagon. So it is evil
dent in this instance, as in all others
Woodrow Wilson has been the real
friend of the American citizen who
sympa thizes with Germany"
Ina speech in Cincinnati in October
1916, Gov. Cox said:
Two of the leading sponsors fol
Justice Hughes are Elihu Root of New
York and Theodore Roosevelt Of Oys
ter Bay. In his first speeches Mr.. Root
declared that the president should have
interviewed. when the Germans went in
to Belgium. 4EA
Theodore Roosevelt said this gov
eminent should have seized every shil
in American harbOrs. Both have criti
cised the president for not doing the
things which would have embroiled us
in a war with Germany.
THE Germans are getting their eyes
opened, and about one more speech
from Teddy and the German-Americans
will join In a'triumphal victory fol
Woodrow Wilson in November"

must be. ratified or the. president will
block action on it during the next four
years, If Gov. Cox is elected. If he
favors ratification with reservations,
then in justice to the public, he should
set out in detail what reservations
he favors, so that the public may have
the facts upon which to base its judg-
ment. If he favors only those which
bind the United States more specifical-
Nv to the league associated" as the plat
form favors, then he is opposed to the
reservations which the Republican
party has submitted and which it was
found commanded in different degrees
the support Of a majority of the demo-
cratic senator's. 1T is clear the senators
will not approve the league with such
reservations, as those proposed by the
Democratic convention, because they
would bind closer instead of release the
United States. Then, no matter what
Gov. Cox stands for in the way OF
Democratic reservations, it will be i'm
possible to settle the league contro-
versy and ratify the peace treaty dur
ing his incumbency as president, should
he be elecetd, for the senate will not
change sufficiently by the process OF
ELECTION of new members to bring two
thirds of its members in line with the
governors policy during his term in Of
fee. On the other hand, if Gov. Cox
favors such reservations as will insure
approval by the senate, he steps square
lily upon the Republican platform and
accepts without equivocation the poll
cies it uphOlds.

NOT MEN BUT PRINCIPLES.

Eagle Grove Eagle The county is
to be congratulated on the character of
the nominees of the two great parties.
There is no occasion for personalities,
in the coming campaign, on the presi-
Dental and vice presidential candi-
dates. They are a credit to the country.
The issues of the campaign will not be
men but principles, records and gen
eral character of the two great parties.
Each will Of course criticise, distOrt
and condemn the platform Of the other,
but that will have little weight in de-
termining the result of the national
ballot That will be decided by the dis,
position Of approval or disapproval of
the Democratic record under the domi-
ma ton Of Wilson during the last eight
years. The nominee or the platform
can't get that party away from that
unacceptable and ting determine
Ition. The convention most tactfully did
|all possible to turn attention from the
party record but it was an impossible
purpose, unavoidable and of sure de-
feat The administration horde of
|beneficiaries, boxers and barnacles had
|easy control Of the San Francisco con-
vention up to the nomination balloting,
when it was completely unhoresd, ut
terly ignored and glaringly repudiated.
But the presidential campaign is too
near to cover the unacceptable record of
the democratic party with forgetful-
ness. 1t will be compelled to face the
sure light of thorough campaign,
which will leave nothing covered or
levaded. The democratic party will
have to face its eight years record I'M
der President Wilson No Republican
believes it can do SO and win farther
lease Of power, and the desperate effort
l0f the Democrats to get from under
that record in their refusal to nominate
McAdOo Palmer or any Wilson par
tisan is a confession they realize they
cannot win under it. But clean as
their nominees are, the record Of per
verted government, orgy Of waste and
flagrant departmental incompetence is
upon them with all its Inevitable dis
aster and defeat.

~
ments therefore recognize that the So
lcia1 interest must control, and 50 1t be-
comes a question not Of theory only
but of practical results. And every
question Of public policy comes to that
issue.
The public. interests are paramount
but they are best served by obedience
to the economic law.
The Economic Law is the law Of COM
mon interest and common necessity. 1t
tends to establish that adjustment and
balance of interests which promotes the
highest social cooperation, and It is the
supreme fact Of the social order that
there is a natural tendency to such a
state of equilibrium. The Economic
Law and the Moral Law are one, and
if we can know it and follow it, we
will have something to guide us amid
the conflicting demands.
