THE OUT-OF-DOORS

The out-of-doors is calling these
days and it's call should be needed.
The lengthening days afford an OPP
p%ortunity of spending more time in
the open while the sun is shining.
This opportunity should be made most
of by all. Now is the time to fill ones
lungs with pure air, to indulge in
proper exercise and to store up health
and strength against the long days of
winter which will be upon us again
in a few months. 1t is fortunate for
jewellers in villages, towns and cities
that they can get away to the noun
tains for a couple of weeks or a month
and come back with the tan of health
instead of a hectic flush on the cheek.
Sleeping under the stars is advocated
by the physicians and also lighter eat
ing of heating foods. The war DEM
onstrated that a large percentage of
our youth under thirty are below nor
NAL. These affected can build them
selves up by careful attention to diet
and exercise. All kinds of games are
now in season and every baseball field
ought to be kept working until frost
comes. There is no time like the sum-
mer time for health and happiness.

~SUFFRAGISTS IN N E

Something is added to the Congress
of Women for International Suffrage
in Geneva by the fact that it was
opened by a sermon by a woman
from the very pulpit from which John
Calvin and John Knox once thunder
ed. The overturn of four centuries
is indicated by the fact that this sue
cessor of the great Protestants has
lately been pastor of the City Temple
in London, one of the great churches
which has sprung from their preach
ing, and that she in her turn is pro-
testing against a discrimination of
which those great divines heartily ap-
proved and whose abolition they would
have regarded with even greater hor-
o than they would have felt at the
thought of a woman in the pulpit.
The chief American representative
in the international alliance is Mrs
Gait, who is also the president. She

PLATFORM.

The national republican party plat
form is = fine, outstanding, American
document. There is no Wilschian So
cialism, bolshevism, idealisn OF, autoc-
in it, and the American people
should be glad Of that America, IN
turning back to the republican party
for a government, will return to san
ity. A safe, sane and orderly govern
ment: a business-like, economic gov
eminent; a government free from the
thousand and one forms Of imbecilic
and speculative economic and polite
al creeds, with waste and squander
run wild, which has marked the DEM
ocratic administration for seven years.
When the people of the United
States turned to the democracy seven
years ago they thought they would
better themselves by securing a more
progressive and effective government;
that is, the minority of the people,
those who voted for the democratic
candidate, did; the republicans and
progressives who voted for Taft and
Roosevelt, did not think so, and they.
of course, were not fooled. This coun-
try is progressive, and it wants pro,
gressive government.

SHOULD PAY THEIR DEBTS.

Nations, like individuals, should pay
their debts. Credit is an asset in
business life which it is mighty handy
to possess in East of necessity, but
credit should never be strained if it
is desired to make use of in the flu
ture. During the war several nations
on the other side of the big pond Sc
cured immense loans from the United
States of America and at the present
time it is beginning to show up that
several of them at least had large
amounts of their own at the time these
loans were negotiated, which is now
making the American people sit up and
wonder just why it was necessary to
borrow money from us while they had
plenty themselves. Take Great Brit
ain for instance, it's capitalists have
purchased immense tracts of forest
lands in Canada on which is sufficient
pulp timber to control the print paper
output of the world for many years.
1t is estimated to have required sew
eral billions of dollars to put this pur-
chase across. British capitalists are
even now in this country, and are
getting mighty busy in an attempt to
put in operation an air line and it is
limited that if successful, they will
endeavor to secure control of several
distinct air courses to be followed by
their flyers on which none may at
any time trespass. These pulp barons
and airship promoters should have
been thoroughly investigated by the
British government at the time that
government needed money, instead of
coming to America for their loans,
and if the British government is as
friendly to America as we were to
them, they would even now make the
most strenuous efforts to pay their
debts first, ever though it be neces-
sary to borrow the money from their
own capitalists to do so. The sooner
these debts are paid the sooner this
country will get back on a normal ba-
sis and the sooner u people will be
relieved from the present excessive
burden of taxation.
AS an evidence of "good faith" of
our friends across the sea, the aerial
transport company is to be an Ameri-
can institution but fifty-one per cent
of the stock is to be owned by Brit
ish stockholders, who will turn over
airplanes to the value Of two million
five hundred thousand dollars in pay
ment for such stock, and it will be
wise for American investors to keep
their eye open while this little scheme
is being put across.
We would have more faith in Great
Britain and France were they to pay
their honest debts first before either

over our country. Great Britain
to be mistress of the seas and
is even now attempting to secure a
on the air over our country.
Should any country ever secure the
privilege of using our land and the
air over it, we might as well give up
a title to the United States at once,
for with the opportunity to fly wher-
ever they wish all over our land, it
would be no trouble at all to take full
possession of our entire country. Our
authorities will be wise to refuse any
concessions to any outsiders to estab-
lish a base for such enterprise and at
the same time it may also be wise to
insist on the early payment Of their
national debts. If these countries are
honest they will need no urging, if
dishonest, they should be compelled to
"come across" and there are still
enough Americans left to do the COM
pelling, Notwithstanding the bombastic
statements that Great Britain may
fight with America next.

GLASGOW POST OFFICE
OCCUPIES NEW HOME
In Coleman BlOck-Presents a Neat
and Well Equipped Appearance
Building R~emodeled.

The Glasgow post office has been
moved this week from the building
with the pale-green front on first av-
enue to the red brick Coleman hotel
ing further east on the same avenue.
This new location has been remodeled
by adding a new front which has been
extended out to the street and will af-
ford an excellent protection from the
winds and rains.
Beautiful new fixtures of a mahog-
any finish have been added which
gives the room a tasty appearance and
makes quite an inviting place. There
is, however, no more room than at
the old stand, but they will have the
added advantage of a warmer home,
new and better fixtures, and steam
heat. The matter of a warm place for
business is one to be considered when
we remember where the thermometer
goes in the months of January and
February.
The office now employs six helpers

~augurating clearing out sales at lower
prices in order to realize on the same.
Many concerns in advertising reduce
sales affirm that their stock cannot
be replenished at the sale prices. If
concerted action is taken by retailers
they can force down prices from whole
salers and manufacturers. Unless
they do this, high prices will remain.
A reduction in the variety of goods
carried may form a solution to the
high cost problem. Chicago haber-
dashers have found it possible to cut
down their stock one-half without in
jury. Too large stocks are really car
ried as a whole throughout the coun-
try. With smaller stocks there will be
lessened call for merchandise which
will result in a ~lessening of the pres

and a better control of labor.

FORCED TO SHELL OUT.

There is a time for everything and
the time has apparently come when
hoarders of Injuries must be compel
led to sell their wares. An examina-
ton Of the records of imports show an
enormous increase in the amount of
furs, laces, lingerie and cosmetics
which have been brought into the
country and stored in order to force
up the prices. The demand for such
goods from the rich and from the
working classes, who are getting high
wages, has enabled importers to reap
tremendous profits.
Loans for carrying these goods will
be reduced, and the warehouses will
be emptied during the next few
months. Dealers in clothing and ladies'
wear throughout the country are in

Warren G. Harding is . man OF un-
usual strength, initiative, and answer
wing He has already blazeo
his own trail. There is moderation and
~liberality, two essentials needed TO
blend the divisive forces Of the nation
al life.
Governor Calvin Coolidge OF Massa-
chusetts is a man of sterling qualities
and quick DECISIONS man OF actlonl
as evidenced in the Boston policemen
strike, at which time he made himself
a national figure by his successful
handling of a question that was per-
picking many a state executive. He
is a fit running companion for the
presidential nominee.
It is we'll that the men have been
nominated, for they have no $200,0o0
campaign fund to be investigated by
some congressional committee sue as
others have had and which have been
an embarrassment to the leaders In
after days. Witness the Michigan
debacle!
The Courier has been q warm ad'
mirer Of General Leonard Wood and
would like to have seen him at the
head Of the ticket, for he has . clean
and sane record covering his entire
life. but we humbly bow to the choice
Of the Chicago convention and feel that
thew have after all made . wiser
choice. We trust that the days to come
will reveal this fact. The standard
bearers are men Of high class ane
fine public careers.

Glasgow has made a good showing
and with the rains a better figure will

THE GERMAN ELECTION.

The recent election in Germany was
q victory for the majority socialists
and the coalition government domi-
mated by them, but it brought several
changes in the relative standing Of
the different parties that will consti-
tute the parliamentary majority nee
essary to govern the country. The
most surprising result indicated by
the returns to date has been the drop
Of the Center party from second to
sixth place. The most significant
shifts r shown IN the gain Of the
independent socialists and the Ger
man people party. %.
The vote Of the independent social
lists indicates the extent Of the dissat-
isfaction with the majority socialists
because Of their failure to adopt a
more radical program. A balance is
struck by the winning Of second place
in the new Reichstag by the peoples
party, which made a strenuous cam
paign, appealing to the more conser-
vative. middle class voters for economic
stability. The peoples party has been
described as q ~capitalistic organize
ton, n Of the principal hackers be-
ing Hugo Stimmes, who owns many
newspapers and has extensive mining,
industrial and shipping interests.
The peoples party doubtless secur-
ed may of its votes from the old DEM
ocratic party, which held third place
at the last general election, that for
the national assembly. It is worthy
of note that the nationalists, who have
as candidates Captain Won Muller and
General Won Gallwitz, created little
interest among the voters, and that
the communists won but two seats in
the Reichstag. An incident which will
have plenty of dramatic interest later
on is the election Of Matthias Wrz-
berger from Wuertemberg and DR..
Karl Helfferich from Hamburg.
More important than the detailed
report of this election is the fact that
it was peaceful and that the most bit
ter opponents of the majority social
lists and the present coalition govern
ment went to the polls to record their
votes instead of waiting for a chance
to use force. President Ebert and
Chancellor Muller can now breathe
easier. They a go on with their
peace program with less anxiety, and
should be able to make better prog
ress than has yet been possible in
getting the country on it's feet.

we find no free literature Of Harding

if the people would turn away from
the republicans, it would give the
people progress. The people, divided
by the split in the republican party
ranks, gave the democrats a plurality,
and the latter took the reins of gov
eminent. Then we received the sort
of advance called progress by a dem
ocrat. It has been a crab-like ad-
vance sideways and to the rear. Every
kind Of political and economic lunacy
that a democratic form of government
could be stretched to include was tried
out by the democrats.
The result has been that the vast
majority of the people of the country
have suffered a diminution of we'll be-
ing; they are worse off than ever they
were; they have, under the "idealism"
Of the Wilsonians, dropped to a low
er and poorer level. It was loudly
claimed for years by the democrats
that they were for the people, the
dear people, and that the republican
party fostered the wealthy, the cor
porations and the classes. Can it be
said truthfully by anybody that there
ever was a period in the history of
America In which the classes, the cor
porations, the trusts, the wealthy, the
profiteers have had such rich pickings

Wilson, the altruist, the dreamer, the
"friend Of the people!"
The Wilsonian reign Of seven years
at the White House has, been the gold
en- era of privilege In America. The
people have grown poorer under VIII
son, while the favored classes, aggre-
cations Of industry. trusts, monopo-
lies, special unionized groups Of labor,
and hordes Of politicians and office
holders have fattened and battened
upon the substance Of the people and
have grown well off or wealthy. It
may be that Wilson did not intend to
bring about such results, and he may
plead the excuse that he could not help
it, but that does not relieve the Amer
lean people.
The republican party platform pro-
poses a return by the American gov
eminent to a brass tacks condition Of
safety and sanity; a business like ad-
m~inistration; a re-affirmation of the
republican principles Of government
and the doctrines Of the forefathers;
for the vindication Of the constitution
and the tenets Of liberty; for America
for Americans and not for Armenia
or Europe. The platform revives hope
in the breasts Of all men who read it
and are sick of the Wilsonian demo-
cratic waste and lunacy.
The democratic party functioned
with dreams for seven years, and the
rats Of politics and economy swarmed
into the granary and ate the substance
of the people while this happened;
the republicans will deal with facts,
and will put the house in order, and
will give all of the people of the Unit
ed States a fair deal. The platform
of the republican party u this
policy, and that it will be carried out
is assured by the enlightened senti-
ment and the practical wisdom that
controls the party, which has been
purified and strengthened by it's dis
sensions and difficulties, and whose
leaders have the horrible example of
the democrats before their eye to
warn them and guide them in their
task.-Record- Herald.
