THEODORE AND FRANKLIN

The Democratic candidate for the
vice presidency has started on a
speaking trip through the west in the
interest of his candidacy and that of
Governor Cox. He is. after the vote
Of the members Of the former pro-
gressive party.
Franklin, who Is cousin eight or
ten times removed, Of the illustrious
TEDDY" is accompanying his ap-
peal with tribute to the former
president and is making an effort to
convey the impression that had Theo-
dore Roosevelt lived he would have
supported the Democratic ticket this
year. =
There is no doubt but there are
thousands of Republicans who would
be glad to follow the advice Of TheO-
dore Roosevelt were he here to give
1t, but there will be few who will care
to accept Franklin ID. as an interpre-
ter Of what Teddy" would say II he
were living. The program with which
Woodrow Wilson became obsessed
while the pampered guest Of royalty,
Is the same program to which Frank
lin d. Roosevelt Is committed, along
with Governor Cox. This program
President Wilson brought back with
him from Europe and tried to stuff
down the threats Of the American
people, without giving them chance
to find out what 1t was all about, and
It is the same program which public
irrespective Of party lines,
has rejected by big majority.
And now Franklin Roosevelt Is en-
to make the followers Of
Theodore Roosevelt believe that If
their leader were alive he would be
the Wilson program which
Includes the ENHANCEMENT of this
country in the intrignes and quarrels
Of the European states. At the time

Of the war. endeeversd In some cal
pacity to get into the army, President
Wilson and HIS mouthpiece, Secretary
Baker, because OF "Teddy's" out
spoken criticism OF Wilson's official
course, refused to permit the colonel
to enter as a private soldier or other
wise. Theodore Roosevelt had a.
ways insisted on the protection Of
American lives, and was a strong ad-
vOcate Of preparedness at the time
Wilson was keeping us out of war"
and at time when preparedness
would have done some good and
would have resulted in the saving of
many American lives.
Theodore Roosevelt would have
had to perform complete reversal
to have brought himself into a posi-
ton Of approving Wilson'S lop- sided
League Of Nations. But Franklin
would have the voters believe other

things anticipated in such clear and
forceful language.
First and foremost the Harding

all attempts to. Change European

DON'T SCRATCH TICKET

The people of the United States
4 are thoroughly Disguised with what
II generally termed "WilsOnism.'
And yet in many states there are
evidences that although the people
Will vote against wisconsin as 1t IL
represented by the Democratic can
didate for president some will anever.
theless vote for wisconsin as 1t is
represented by candidates for the SEN
Hte and house. Because OF some per-
sOnal preference they will vote for a
Democratic candidate for the legisla-
tive branch Of the government al
though voting against Mr.. Cox, who
has placed himself in absolute har-
mony with Wilson.
Voters who contemplate scratch
ing their ticket should reflect that II
is the Democratic legislative organi-
ration which makes wisconsin posi-
BILE. When the Democratic party Ia
I'm power and the two houses Of con-
gress select committees to form q !
Democratic organization, 1t inevitably
happens that the South absolutely
dominates the organization. This Ia
due to two facts: First, that the south |
always has majority Of the Demo
cratic membership; second, that the
members from the South have had
the longest continuous service on the
Democratic side. which insures them
the most influential positions under
the rule of seniority to- which they
rigidly adhere.
A Democrat elected to congress
from Northern state, however indie
pendent Of mind he may be, is
mere tool In the hands OF the South
ern antocracy. The Northern Dem
ocrat goes into the party caucus and
binds himself to stand by the caucus
action knowing when he does so that
the South will dominate and that the
great majority Of the committee
chairmanships will be held by South
ern Democrats. He may deceive his
home constituents by pretended indie
pendence Of mind, but in actual prac-
ice he votes to establish an 0rgani-
sation which perpetuates sectional
SIN In our national government.
These are facts which voters should
xeep In mind as they prepare to !
mark their ballots in November. ,

In his speech Of acceptance Sena
tor Harding declared his opposition
to government ownership Of rail
ways. Discussing economic problems
he declared that, when competition
natural. fair impelling competition
lis suppressed whether by law, com.
pact, or conspiracy, we halt the
march Of progress, silence the voice
OF inspiration, and paralyze the will
for achievement thus indicating
his confidence in individual effort as
the secret Of progress.
It will be remembered that Mr..
Cox has expressly declared his advO-
cacy Of government ownership Of all
public utilities except agriculture.
While It will be the effort Of his cam
paign mana gers to ignore or depre-
cate this assertion Of policy, yet II
will be apparent to the voters of the
country that such Is the Cox concep-
ton Of the proper prerogatives Of the
government, and that, so far as 1t
lies In his power, he will extend the
authority Of the federal government
with its attendant increased cost Of
operation, decreased efficiency, and
Of individual enter
prise.
Mr.. sCox would entangle in the
endless mazes Of red tape almost
every line of industry. Mr. Harding
would set business free under "na-
tural, fair. impelling competition" In !
order to encourage "a joining Of
hand and brain in production. more ,
honest production, pa
triOtic production" The Cox program
will be to let everybody else quit and
let the government do 1t.

SHIP WHEAT TO OTHER STATES
Local Farmers Didn't Take The

Kansas farmers are overlooking
something good and meanwhile the
farmers Of other states are coming In
and getting the seed wheat Of the
famous Kanred variety. J. H. Taylor
Of Chapman, who had over 5000
bushels Of the tested Kanred wheat to
sell this year, advertised in the Re-
fectOr, and three cars went out Of
the state. This left only small
amount for local farmers.
J. II. Taylor and sons produced
5000 bushels Of Kanred wheat on
their farm this year. It was good
clean seed Of the genuine Kanred
variety and 1t was offered for sale
to farmers who wanted a start in the
new wheat. Orders came from I'LL
nOis, Missouri, Oklahoma. South Da-
kota and Wyoming. II Is shame
to see seed going out Of the state
when farmers here should be getting
it,
Kanred wheat was produced at the
experiment station at the Kansas
State Agricultural College from
single head from Russia 1t has been
tried out on the college farm and for
three years has been tried on farms
in various parts Of the country. 1t
is now past the experimental stage.
A general average shows that 1t
produces about five bushels more per
acre than any other wheat under the
same conditions. 1t natures earlier.

where few days often makes a great
difference and 1t will stand harder

for the northern wheat grower. 1t is
also practically immune from dam
age from rust.
Thorough test by millers has
shown that 1t is the equal of any
,ther wheat in milling qualities. An
Effort is being made to secure the en-

who is growing in public esteem
with every constructive utterance he
makes. Furthermore, let 1t be re-

by their constituencies as delegates.
They were not there by self 0rdina-
