THE SCALE AGAIN BALANCES.

Before the Chicago convention this
seemed to be a Republican year, but
a great change has taken place dur
ing the past few weeks. The politl-
cal scale is again in the balance, will
good prospects for a favorable turn
toward the side Of Progressive Dem
ocracy.
The reason for this change can be
briefly stated. The exposure OF the
schemes of big money to purchase
a nomination for its candidate at Chi
cago, and the actual control OF the
convention by the old conservative
standpat wing of the Republican
party has caused the reaction.
This much.is unqualifiedly true. The
Republican platform and the Republic
can candidate give the Democrats an
unexpected opportunity to win again
this year. They will win this yeal
if their representatives act wisely at
San Francisco.

THE HIGHEST BIDDER

(rTOm the New 10TH WoIlu'J
While the Tribune is bitterly lament
ing the defeat Of Gen. Leonard Wood,
"a big man.. about the biggest the
country possesses" DR.. Nicholas Muir
ray Butler Of Columbia, who was a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for president and delegate to the
Chicago Convention, dispassionately
remarks:
THE chief task of the convention
was to prevent the sale of the Presi-
Dental nomination at auction to the
highest bidder, Had this not been done
the party faced not only certain de-
feat fby crushiag dishonor."

To put up Presidential nomination
for sale at auction to the highest bid
der is a step toward putting up the
Presidency at auction. 1t cannot be
done in these days, not even by the
Republican Party. AS the Tribune re-
covers from it's disappointment over
the outcome of the Chicago Conven-
ton it must recognize that the Wood
campaign methods raised a moral
issue that it was neither expedient
nor honorable to try to ignore, and
that cannot be -obscured by dwelling
on its candidates "flawless transpar-
ency of character and motive"

PARTY DIFFERENCES SHARPLY
DEFINED,

Ordinarily the electors Of every
country divide into two groups, one that
is progressive, the other conservative.
The progressive group fayors new
legislation calculated to improve ex-
listing conditions. The conservative
group is satisfied with existing con-
ditions and is opposed to changes.
For many years the Republican
party was the conservative party Of
this country, but a desire to progress
on the part of many Republicans
caused party dissentions. Those who
belong to the conservative faction were
called Standpatters and those who
followed the leadership of Theodore
Roosevelt were called Progressives.
Since the Civil War the Democratic
party has, as a rule, been the Progress
sive party of this country, and on most
questions the differences between
Democrats and the followers of Roose-
Welt were less than the differences be-
tween Progressive Republicans and
Standpat Republicans.
The death of Roosevelt gave the old
Conservative Republicans an advan-
tage this year, and they used that ad-
p = 2 = q u L.. u
vantage at the Chicago convention to
the limit. They disregarded the wish
es of the Progressive Republicans and
kept closely within the bounds of con-
servatism. That gave the Democrats
the undisputed possession Of every
progressive position in the politics Of
the country. That is why the Repub-
hcan newspapers have stopped talking
about this being a sure Republican
year. That is why all newspapers
are earnestly considering party pros
poets since party lines have been thus
sharply defined.
The following extract from the Des
Moines Register is fair statement OF
party allignments in this country at
the present time: s.

SAyERY.

More thapf half a century ago the
slavery witch compelled human beings
to woEs for masters was abolished in
this kry, but new form of slav-
er, - fosm, the opposite of the old
slavery but quite as obnoxious, is one
Of the biggest problems the country
has to deal.with at this time.
The new form of slavery assumes the
right, not to compel men to work, but
to compel idleness. Most of the labor
unions undertake to legislate for their
members and require them to refuse
to work when majority so orders.
Such orders are as destructive of
human liberty as the orders of the old
slave drivers and much more damag-
ing to the general public.
To prevent man from working
when he wants to work, and for whom
he wants to work, is as great trespass
upon natural liberty and human rights
as the slavery system that was cut out
of our country's life by the arbitra-
ment of the sword
Under our form of government all
laws must be Of general nature and
applicable alike to everyone. While
those engaged in particular occu-
patton have an unquestioned right to
organize and adopt lawful rules and
regulations, they have no right to con-

Every member Of labor union has
a right to quit work when he or she
wants to do so. That is freeman's
privilege. And right of equal i'm

persons, to work whenever and for
whom they want to work.

The Importance of the dairy industry
is indicated by the facts that during
the calendar year 1919 approximately
80 billion pounds of milk were pro.
duced in the United States, enough
to provide nearly $50 pounds for every
man, woman and child or practically
1-3 pints per day. On the basis Of
the average 1919 prices this milk had
cash value to the producer of more
than $4,000, 100000.
