transforming.

October will be the busy month.
Both parties are preparing to use every
one of the thirty-one days that com
pose it. The campaign will be in full
swing. Very likely, by that time both
Mr.. Harding and Gov. Coolidge will be
in full swing, too. Gov. Cox and Mr.
Roosevelt are already swinging, and
will, of course, keep it up.
Transforming, properly so-called, has
never been proposed. 1t would not
comport with the occasion. The equiva
lent of cart tail oratory is not expected,
and would not be effective, from a
presidential candidate or his associate
Mr.. Bryan in his first campaign for
the presidency rushed about good
deal and made many speeches. But
he was not transformer, nor a fly
by nighter. His itinerary was we'll ar
ranged, and carried him through de-
batable territory in a dignifed way.
He stopped at places of importance, and
spoke to large crowds
1t was the proper course for him to
take. He was young-the youngest
man ever nominated for the presi-
dency-eloquent and engaging, and his
party was torn by dissension. The
democratic national administration
was against him. On every account he
was an object of interest. The people
wanted to see him; and he gratifed
the wishes of as many as he could
reach.
He was not elected. But his defeat
was not aseribable to his stumping
tours while his opponent remained at
home and addressed visiting delega-
tions. If he had returned to Lincoln
after his nomination and remained
there during the campaign, the ma
jority against him would have been
much larger than it was. His party
needed stirring up, and he stirred it.

1896.
stability.

The campaign of 1896 is often re-
ferred to. One might suppose from
some of the comment that the victory
that year was bought outright with
spot cash. A few things that are be-
yond dispute negative this contention.
The issue was "the full dinner pail"
which had not been full for several
years. The second Cleveland admins
tration had proved disappointment.
Business of all kinds: was greatly de-
pressed. Manufacturing was going on
one wheel when going at all. Many
establishments were closed. Great
numbers of men were idle. Both labor
and capital were complaining, and
labor was on its uppers.
The republicans promised relief, and
their platform specified policies that
warranted relief. The high money
standard was to be maintained. Pro-
lection to American industries was to
be restored, and this would open the
mills and stimulate production. Wage
workers would once more draw wages,
and be able to fill their dinner pals.
Their candidate for President was
highly esteemed for personal character,
and had achieved great distinction as
a national legislator. He was the fore
most champion of protection in public
life. He was elected, the platform
upon which he had stood was put into
operation, and the country in a short
time rose from a condition of extreme
depression to a condition of high
spirits. Four years of wretchedness
were followed by four years of unex-
ampled prosperity.
Does that record suggest the use of
a colossal campaign fund for corrupt
purposes' When did people render a
more intelligent decision at the polls,
or get better action on a decision rem

Gov. Cox has coined the phrase
Senatorial oligarchy," and hurls it in
defiance at Senator Harding. The SEN
ate and the House of Representatives
have from time to time been so bitterly
assailed that to the impressionable
mind it seemed scarcely worth while
to have United States Capitol. And
yet the representative feature was con-
sidered by founders of this govern
ment its most hopeful and essential
attribute.

But the wind shifts. 1t bloweth

The Campaign Funds.

zone story's good until anothers
told SO runs the old saw.
Gov. Cox has told his story about the
republican campaign fund, and next
week, before the Kenyon inquisitors,
the republican managers will reply.
Part of that reply will be story
and to that, of course, the democratic
managers will reply.
And the proposition is made that the
campaign funds of the minor political
parties-the farmer-la party, the So
cialist party and the non bipartisan
leagu>be investigated.
A good proposition. Why not7 The
minor parties are not collecting as
large sums as the major parties, yet,
whatever the amounts, they should be
placed upon record.
There is neither news nor surprise IN
the fact that the parties-all of them
are raising the wind for campaign pur-
poses. 1t is matter of necessity. A
party which should neglect to provide
we'll for its work in campaign year
would deserve to go out of business,
and soon get its deserts.
The real point relates to how such
money is spent. If spent for corrupt
purposes, or collected through corrupt
promises of patronage or legislation,
a party so transgressing loses public
respect and becomes powerless to meet
its reprehensible engagements.
1t is clear that the Kenyon commit
tee is scheduled for a star part in the
campaign. 1t will share the front page
of the newspapers with the presiden-
tial candidates. What they say will
make no stronger appeal to the read
ing public than the testimony taken at
Chicago, or wherever the committee
may sit in the performance of its
duties.

With a suspicious eye;
The autumn feast will be at hand
Ere many days 60 by.
The quail has whistled as she saw
Her family increase.
The crow sounds forth doleful cav
But where's the dove of peace9
The jacksnipe fits along the shore.
The sparrow chatters harsh.
The reedbird soon will come once more
to revel in the marsh.
And many another bird will raise
The calls that never cease,
For use to hear with blame or praise.

Active Week Supplying Farm
Laborers.

The calendar says spring and
farmers of this section are making
their preparations according to the
custom and not the idiosyncracy
of the season. Farm labOrers are
in great demand at the Illinois
Free Employment bureau. and the
local Office has been kept busy dur
ing the last week supplying help to
the farmers of Rock Island and
Mercer counties. ILL.,, and Scott
county, Iowa. A few requests for
assistance have also come to the
Rock Island department from Hen
ry county. Superintendent Fred
W. Rinck announces that he has
been able to fill nearly, if not quite
all. of the demand for this kind of
help with a slight surplus.
Demand for skilled laborers as
we'll as shop hands has been most
brisk, greater in fact than the sup
ply. Common labor for construc-
ton work as well as for govern
ment work at the Savanna proving
grounds has also been called for
without avail. The United States
engineers Office also needs men for
river improvement work being
done at the rapids above Rock Is
land.
Women for factory and domestic
work are needed. During the week
ZIG men and As women accepted
positions.

ators overman and Williams have
openly charged the Republicans
with conspiring to give the country
that impression. On the other
hand, the failure of the president
to appoint . railroad labor board
as provided under legislation pass
ed more than q month ago has Civ
en- concrete excuse for the renewed
argument that Mr.. Wilson ought to
delegate some Of his authority. The
White house explanation is that the
president has had difficulty getting
men to serve on the labor board.
Mr.. Wilson has had his troubles
continuously with appointments.
Nearly. ten men declined to serve
on the federal trade commission
when it was first organized and the
president had several destinations
when the federal reserve board was
established.
Skepticism Not All Partisan.
But the interesting and regretta-
BILE truth is that throughout Wash
ington skepticism about the stories
of the presidents ultimate recovery
seems to be extending even to
friends who could not be suspect
ed for a moment Of permitting the
wish to be parent to the thought,
as is charged Of opposing political
folk. Perhaps the White house will
shortly issue a clear statement
about the presidents condition to
refute the gossip and give an &C
curate statement of facts, past and
present.
