That is the battle.cry of the Dem
ocratic standard bearers today.
In matters of legislation, in all
matters where government re.
lates to the constituent elements
ofthe government, the Democrat
ic platform conceives that the
people themselves are to become
not merely the beneficiaries but
the determinants also. They
shall not only receive the good
things at the hands of the execu-
tive and judicial and legislative
forces of the country, but they
9ust determine the powers of
these forces even. The people
are the bosses according to the
Democratic point of view. They
are the masters of government.
They are the soyereings, the
kaisers, the cars and kings, and
princes in America.
On the other hand, the Repub.
lican party is standing today for
the same old government beliefs
that it has ever stood for. The
party is being led about by the
halter now by the very men who,
during the past eight years, have
fought stubbornly every reform
proposed by the Democratic
administration which
made for the emancipation and
alleviation of the masses. We
shall not take the time to emu.
merate these, but they can be
enumerated. And the party is
appealing to the voters today to
enthrone these very men in pow
er and restore the government
to a party that has always held
the people as mere pawns and re,
garded their rights as suborned
to the rights of the few.

The Difference Between 4 RspnhIltan And
A Democrat.
. charlotte News)

The difference between a Re
publican and q Democrat is age
old, traditional and irreconcilable.
That difference has been made
only the acuter in the present
presidential campaign by reason
of some new forces and some
new species of idealisms which
have been brought to the surface
We can dismiss entirely the ques.
ton of personalities in the cam
paign, If we will. The candidates
will have their individual appeals
TO make to the voters, no doubt,
but their personalities are not
decisive in the contest. There Is
a world of difference between
them as men. Governor Coxis a
fiery, progressive, alert, npstan-
ding and forward looking states
man. Senator Hardingis more dig
nifled, polished in his utterances,
modest in his department and is
behaving himself with the prud-
ishness of an old maid in the
leadership of the Republican cam
paign, but the difference in the
personality of the men is imma'
terial aud will not become at all
important.
The difference between a Dem
ocrat and a Republican in t h S
campaign is the difference be-
tween ideals, between politics
and between principles. A lot o.
shouting is being done over some
incidentals. Much is being said
for instance, as to how these can

Whole Colorado Basin One Imperial Valley

THE formation of plan for the
! development Of the entire basin
of the Colorado river at a cost of more
than $1O0,OOO,OOO was the principal
business of the recent annual conven-
ton of the League of the Southwest,
held at Los Angeles. The governors
of eight southwestern states-Cali-
fornia, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada,
Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas
participated, together with the heads
of city and county governments in,
these states and representatives of
civic, patriotic, educational, industrial
and commercial organizations.
There is bill (H r. 12537) pending
I'm congress which provides for an ex-
animation and report on the condition
and possible irrigation of the Impe-
rial valley in California.
The Imperial valley is an example
of what the lands of the Colorado ba-
sin can do under irrigation. The to-
tai production of the valley even now
under irrigation exceeded in value $780,
100000 in 1913. The population in
1910 was, in round numbers, 1900,
and in 1919 exceeded 10000. The

Diamond lake is a feature of the
addition. 1t lies at an elevation of 81
200 feet, is about 5 by miles, is
comparatively shallow, affords good
bathing and is an ideal camping

The area to be added is properly part

connecting Diamond lake with the Rim
road around Crater lake is a natural
development. The enlargement is
needed because of the big game, which
