by the bosses for such a purpose. 1t
makes the whole business seem I'M
speakably sordid and mendacious. Mr..
Bryan was at least sincere in his ad-
vocacy of platform plank approving
the prohibition amendment, and he
reasonably held that it's adoption would
go far toward assuring effective en-
forcement of the law. But the "Met"
bosses did not dare to adopt an anti
prohibition plank, but left the platform
silent on the subject so that the party
could say "Good Lord!" and "Good
Devil" according to its plight, and
then nominated man whom they
could exploit as 'swet" for home con-
sumption.
1t was, they doubtless thought, a
smart performance. 1t was; about
as smart as that of the man who tried
to sit upon two stools at once.-Har-

Already Too Large.

1t is estimated that the 1920 census
will show population of 105,000,0OO
for the rty-eight states. If the
present proportion of population to
representation is continued this will
mean an addition of some sixty-nine
members to the house roster. The
present house has 435; the new one
would have 504. The additional men,
bership would come from thirty three
states. Ohio would get three more
than she now has.
The house is already too large for
the efficient conduct of~official bust
ness. If any change in membership
is made it should be in the direction
of reducing the number of representa-
tives rather than increasing it.
A body of representatives number
ing 400 or 500 chosen on partisan
grounds cannot constitute an effective
deliberative assembly. It is too big
to function efficiently. Inevitably we
have legislation by committees hand
picked from partisan motives. There
is scattering of responsibility.

Mixing Politics and Religion.

There has been a great deal Of in
teresting newspaper comment through
out the country upon the testimony
taken in the hearing Of the charge of
violation of the corrupt practices act
by Rev. Mr.. Kvale, the nonpartisan
league candidate for congress in the
seventh Minnesota district. Interest
has conferred in two questions asked
Congressman Volstead by Attorney
Manahan. To the first, ode you be-
lieve Christ made wine out of water?"
the witness answered Eyes" He was
excused from answering the second:
do you think it was right for him
to make wine out Of water?" The in
terweaving of prohibition politics with
religion is quite obvious.
The Philadelphia Record, with DEM
ocratic and prohibition proclivi-
ties, holds the view that it was right
to excuse Volstead from answering
the second question as he was merely a
lawyer and a layman and could not
speak as an expert; but that an an
swer from Kvale should have been in
sisted upon as minister and prohibi-
zionist. Here again is the political
touch. The idea, Of course, is to get
an expression of the ministerial view
and the Record is not strictly within
!! the fact in saying that no minister
however much he may clamor for en-
forcement of the eighteenth amend.
I'ment, will answer the question which
was not pressed upon Volstead.
In this connection it is interesting
to announce that under the title Of

A "Wet" Catspaw.

Governor Cox, we are told, is wet
candidate. That is to say, he is against
prohibition. He may not, indeed,
abrogate the eighteenth amendment,
nor reverse the decision OF the SUI
preme court. But he is "Wet" and his
nomination was triumph Tor the
"wets" and his election would make
the "wet" victory complete. So we are
told, not by his opponents but by his
friends, who chortle in their glee at
the way in which they put it over Mr..
Bryan and the anti-saloon league by
nominating him for the presidency.
Now, we do not know nor particular
ly care what Governor Cox's personal
amendment and the decision OF the
supreme court have disposed OF the
matter, excepting, of course, so Tar as
it is RENTED to congress for possible
changes in the enforcement act. But
it does seem to us that in so volubly
and vociferously exploiting Governor
Cox's alleged humidity the various
local bosses who nominated him are
simply using him as a catspaW to pull
their. own parochial chestnuts out of
the fire.
They know perfectly we'll that the
election of "wet" president would
not and could not reopen the saloons
and breweries and distilleries. But
they also know that the turning
the playing of so gigantic and cynical
down" of Mr.. Bryan and the nomina-
ton of reputedly "wet" candidate
will greatly enhance and confirm the
local prestige and power of Mr.. Muir
ply in New York, Mr.. Nugent in New
Jersey, Mr.. Brennan in Chicago and
the other machine-operating bosses in
the large cities. That is why all those
gentlemen were in favor Of Mr.. Cox
and why they got together at French
Lick and laid plans for hornswoggling
the convention into nominating him.
1t will confirm their grip upon their
local and state machines, and perhaps
it will embolden their followers to sell
convictions on the subject are, nor
what his attitude is toward the eigh-
teenth amendment, nor yet what it
would be if he were elected president.
To our mind the ratification of the
booze on the sly with little more as
surance than they would have felt had
a "dry" candidate been nominated.
That is all there is in it. Of course
a bunko game upon the "wets" is not
a self-redeeming performance, nor
does it invest with the beauty of holi-
ness the nomination which was made

OF One Accord.

The democrats say that they are
well satisfied with the selection of Cox
of Ohio as their nominee for the presi-
dency. The republicans are also we'll
satisfied with the nomination of Mr..
Cox. In fact he will be an easy man
to defeat. The democrats might as
well make up their minds right now

THE OPEN COLUMN
Loyalty and Dlsloyalty.

Editor the Missourian: When the
question of organizing a branch of the
American Federation of Teachers was
discussed by teachers in attendance
at the 1919 Summer Session Of the
University, including the faculty, de-
cision was reached to appoint a COM
mittee to prepare new constitution
for the Missouri State Teachers Asso-
citation instead. That committee, COM
posed of three University teachers,
drafted a new constitution for M. s.
T. A.. and it was adopted by the asso-
citation with very slight notifications,
at the annual meeting last November.
At present the Missouri State
Teachers Association is so organized
as to promote the purely professional
interests of teachers and also serve as
an effective agency for advancing the
cause of education in Missouri, in
cluding better financial support for
schools. Why then have the Teachers
Union? Why do some of the Univer-
sity faculty place so low an estimate
on the State Teachers Association
that they support and conduct propa-
ganda on behalf Of an organization
Of teachers affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor, although that or
ganization has been condemned, by
implication at least, by the Missouri
State Teachers Association and the
National Education Association? Are
they not showing disloyalty to the
teachers of Missouri and the Univer-
sity. of Missouri as part of the pub
lie schools system? Are they not pre-
pairing trouble for the University for
which all their colleagues and the en-
tire University will be made to suffer?
would suggest that all teachers in
The University join the Missouri State
Teachers Association and acknowi-
edge allegiance to no other calling. |
They will find in the work of that |
association abundant opportunity for
he display of professional spirit.
and all the fine qualities of |
that the Teachers Union
Processes itself anxious to support,
md that without exposing the Univer-
ity to attack from partisans pitted
gainst the partisanship which the
Teachers Union represents. As a
eacher I am ashamed of my COL
on the faculty who have sold
heir birthright as teachers to the
Federation Of Labor, and l
rotest against their effort to sell the
reedom of this University.
