RINGING DECLARATIONS.

Whatever else may be approved de-
nounced by the national conventions. 1t is a
safe bet to say that both viii in some form
include ringing declarations against profteer-
ing No matter who the candidates named. or
what may be the stand on the league of nations
no one will be satisfied with platform that
does not make noise like twisting the tail
OF predatory bugaboo OF the Both parties
will seek TO capitalize the indignation OF the
people against the men who have robbed them
through corners and manipulation OF markets
and both viii demand measures looking to the
reduction OF the cost OF living.
This kind OF platform making is perfectly
logical and dsual II you can't remedy an
evil, talk about mending It and let the people
draw their conclusions This is no new
process. Contessedly profiteering is largely TO
blame for high costs without doubt we all
desire TO buy the things we need at reduced
costs. Therefore, as matter OF course, we
are all opposed to profiteering--except our own
private snap II we have one--and wiil seek
to profit I'm votes by denounring them. The
