AMERICA in SPLENDID SHAPE.


One OF the sanest men whom Mr..
Wilson has had in his cabinet has been
franklin X. Lane, who occupied the
post OF secretary Of the interior with
great ulster for several years.
Mr.. Lane was author OF many prof.
cots Of conservation which did much to
lit the interior department from the
doldrums Of the Ballinger- Pinchot con-
troversy period. His plan of land for
the returning soldiers was a we'll con-
ceived one. After his retirement from
public life his interest In America has
no whit decreased.
Mr.. Lane is now connected with q
Baltimore banking house. and in this
capacity he has made n report to that
institution as to the present condition
OF the United Stats. This nation. ac-
cording to Mr.. Lane, is in the best con-
dition OF any nation in the world. His
report summarizes the report OF some
300 correspondents. and is not merely
tho spread eagiing OF an ''all 10 well'
speaker. 1t is based on facts.
Labor shortages are being equalized,
according to the former secretary. Only

In the east for certain technical crafts

Industrial organization Ii that we "are
not yet masters OF the art Of distribu-
ton Of products. and that too large q
proportion of cost goes TO others than
the actual prducers OF staples" This is
a problem that has been before the ma

Campaign declarations either mean
something or nothing--most generally
tho latter In order 70 determine, they
should be subjected to the natural and
usual test OF analysis Mr.. Harding de-
clares his purpose OF making the gov
ernment "the friend and partner OF
American business" Just how this is
to be done he does not state, but the
Inference is that something positive is
| contemplated-some favor 10 be shown
beyond simply letting business alone
and allowing II fair field along with
| other institutions.
II is probable that Senator Harding
did not himself know just what he did
mean. He possibly wanted the travel
ing men to think that he liked them
and the interests with which they
were identified a little better than other
folks and other interests. It is custo-
mary with republican leaders when
speaking Of business 10 have in mind
what is generally termed big business
the kind that contributes Literally to
campaign funds. In this connection,
however. workingmen will probably re-
member that, on last Labor day Sena-
tor Harding assured them that he had
no special consideration TO OFFER them.
A reasonable deduction. therefore,
from Senator Harding's speech Satur-
day. when considered in the light OF
other speeches, 10 that II meant moth
ing In particular--that he was merely
Joilying the drummers-either that or
that he considered II necessary for the
government TO so into partnership with
business in order fhat the latter be able
to get along well. Mr.. Harding has no
political record by which to determine
tho issue except his votes in the senate
which conform, In the main, to the lat
ter Interpretation. He seems TO favor
being good TO business.
On the other hand. the democratic
candidate is not making invidious dis
tinctions among classes. II he has no
special favor or consideration for the
he would put business on |
the same broad basis. He would hold |
the scales evenly. II pressed for a
choice, he would not. as Mr.. Bryan has |
so well and 30 often phrased II, put |
the dollar above the man. He feels
that men and women and children are
at least equal to goods and machinery |
and houses and lands--and his record of
works proves his faith
Gov. Cox has enforced the law IN
Ohio. But he has not uniformly as
sumed in advance that the worlsingman
was wrong in his contentious. He has
NOT threatened the use OF the bayonet,
but has taken It for granted that there
are two sides to nearly every ques-
ton. He has usually tried to bring the |
two sides together He has discouraged |
violence on either side, and has en-
deavored TO develop a sense Of respon-
slbility for preserving order In every
community. Gov. Cox has written his |
philosophy into a constructive record
