What Cummings
Said at Hyde Park
Notification Ceremony

Hyde Park, n. Y. Aug 9.-The
American people have paid stag
gering penalty for the Republican
victory at the polls in 1918. Homer
S. Cummings declared here today in
formally notifying Franklin D.
Roosevelt of his nomination as the
Democratic party's candidate for the
vice presidency.
Undisputed in the material and
moral leadership of the world" when
the armistice was signed. he said,
who will deny that our title to that
leadership has been grievously i'm
paired if not completely lost?"
What has happened to account for
this lowering of morale and the for
fixture of the place of honor which
had been won by American arms and
American craftsmanship" Mr.. Cum
mings asked.
The answer is NOT far to seek.
Practically coincident with the publi-
cation of the armistice came the
news that the Republican party had
been successful in the Congressional
elections of 1918. From that moment
American progress stopped. PARTISAN
ship took possession of public affairs
ana Republican leaders became
more interested in political success

Farm Assistance That's Available.

The farmer is getting around sixty
five per cent more for what he sells
and paying in some instances 1s5 per
cent more for what he buys, if con-
illusions Of some of the investigators
are accepted. A Long Island farmer
could get but s4.25 a barrel for pota-
toes selling across the Sound in New
York for 50 a barrel. one day last
week. And there need be no occasion
to go to New York for illustra tons.
They are numerous hereabouts.
OF course the first conclusion = is
that wicked middlemen are milking
the farmers. No doubt they are in
some instances, but perhaps not as
badly as at first appears. The middle
man takes some chances Of loss. Evil

performs the functions of the middle

is too busy to look after his market
ing as he should. He has neglected
to cooperate in associations Puz-
zled by his difficulties in obtaining
help on the farm he has been de-
TERED from attempting wider func-
ton. Has il occurred to him that
while it is difficult to hire for love or

would be glad of chance to work on

. Pleasant and Euphonious.

Those who care for that sort OF di-
version will find in the speech OF
Franklin D. Roosevelt a pleasant
spoken, euphonious message implor-
ing the faithful to look up not down.
TO look toward the faraway horizon
of an interna tional millennium rather
than at the broken fragments OF
Democratic endeavor cluttering the
ground under foot.
This must not be hcrrrit nation,
he tells US Such seclusion inks the
buoyant spirit OF Mr.. Roosevelt. We
don't really suppose he would fit into
the seclusion of a hermit nation, at
all. and doubtless all will agree with
him that a hermit nation We will not
be.
1t is regrettable that he interrupted
his paans Of hope to express disap-
proval Of what he was pleased to term
archaic" shortcomings of our gov
ernmental machinery. We had sup
posed the parlor bolsheviks had tink-
cred the governmental machinery
sufficiently by this time, but this ap-
pears to be an erroneous conclusion.
Further effort must be made: We
must not be archaic. Perish the
thought.
It is possible that in doing the
chores, which the Democratic admin
istration has left undone. Republicans
may again be exposed to the criticism
of hermit" and archaic" but you
see the chores must be done in every
well regulated household. In fact so

Education in Russia.

Those who were leaders Of educa-
ton under the old regime in Russia
are very emphatic in their protests
against existing conditions. This, of
course is to be expected. There is
ample data produced to support their
complaint. Indeed there is no lack of
so-called data from that country
about various matters other than
education. Considerable difficulty,
however. has been experienced in
connecting the data with results.
On the other hand the soviet re-
gtme-now soviet only in name and
military oligarchy in fact-boasts Of
cultural work in the ranks Of the Red
army. One might suppose the mill
tary adventures were a cultural
Chautauqua. The kind of culture
may be seen in the excuse of the
government that it could not stop the
army short Of the capture of Warsaw
because the soldiers had been prom

the culture Of the youth Of Russia to-
day. taught to be adopts in pilfage

Something very vital must have
