A Vague Distinction

We think do not quite follow an argument of Galveston News against the candidacy of former Senator Bailey nomination for governor of Texas The News the right of MT.

Bailey has called Socialist rather than Demo crat nc ideas of League of Nations he opposes.
 We can only understand then that who does not admit headmanshp of the president who takes with the president to any policy has claim upon the party In short 1t appears to us to be the opinion of News that theory put forward by the president however fallacious. be accepted by Democratic party orthodox so long as Mir Wilson is White House And afterward?
 Now Mir Bailey has been very outspoken against the president and he minced no in his utter ances and communications to the Democrats of Texas before primary when he received more Democratic votes than any candidate for the ceive enough so that he participate in "run-off"

Campaign Ag01nst
 R0ca0I PreJud1ce

Evidence of a foreign conspiracy to inject racial and religious issues into the impending presidential campaign has been uncovered in the United States through the activity of several officers of the American legion.
 Two religious sects. Catholics and Jews, are the principal objects of at tack, being jointly accused of plot to overthrow the existing social order and seize control of the world.
 Russell G. Creviston, director of or ganization of the American legion. has ordered all the documents transmitted for investigation to the Anti-Defama- tion league, a national organization for combating racial and religious preju- dices, which maintains headquarters in New York
 For several weeks an inquiry has been in progress; and Adolf Kraus, president of the nti-Defamation league, announced today the leagues decision to give the matter publicity.
 Despite the fantastic nature and manifest absurdity of the charges" he said, the propagandists have suc- ceeded in gaining a rather wide hear ing among the uneducated classes of England and other European coun- tries"

 One of the pamphlets recently dis seminated by MT.

 It appears that the agitation has not attained as yet it's full intended scope, for among the publications most lately circulated from London is a pamphlet seeking to involve the Catholic church and Germany, assisted by the Inter national Jew" in a plot to subvert the league of nations-a variation of the propagandist' original theme
 tThe precise motive behind these ex- hibitions of insanity said the presi dent of the Anti Exclamation league, lis difficult to define until it's origin is fixed, and an investigation is now be- ing made to that end. There seems lit tie doubt however that most of the propaganda has a common source. A series of attacks now being published in a middle western weekly. owned by rich manufacturer with political as pirations, have the same general back ground as the propag ganda sent out from abroad, and if there is no connec- tion between the manufacturers ad- visers and the agency which is delug- ing the American legion with it's lit erature, certainly their minds are working in an astonishingiy similar way"

Where the People
 May Have a Hearing
The Grand Canyon

To the editor The Republican:
 It has been said-and with great deal of truth, no doubt-that "one half of the world does not know how the other half lives" Is it not true, also, that one half of the people of these United States do not know very much about just what is in the other half of this great nation? For instance, how small a number of the American citi- zens east of the Mississippi river have ever seen the Casa Grande Ruins, in the beautiful Casa Grande valley, and the first wonder of the world, the Grand Canyon in northern Arizona? I can not find language to adequately express my feelings when I stood upon the point of the broad mountain plateau and viewed the length, the width and the depth of the Grand Canyon, with the mighty Colorado river, seen in the far distance, rolling on to the rushing rapids at the bottom of the Grand Can yon. Truly, my eyes have never be- held such a wonderful sight. As I stood and gazed with surprise and wonder at the grandest of al: Grand Canyons in the wide world my thoughts turned to Him who laid the foundations of the earth and again, I remember that the Armament discloses His glory and the earth shows his handiwork.
