LAB0RS RIGHT.

Iowa Republicans In State convsn-
ton In Des Moines defined with clar-
ity and soundness tho rights Of or
ganized labor and OF the individual
citizen.
The platform recognizes "the right
OF labor TO organize for its own pro-
lection and its right to act collec-
lively in a lawful manner" but the
Constitution of the United States
guarantees TO every citizen the right
of life. liberty, property and the
pursuit Of happiness. and every in
div.dual who wants TO engage in any
legitimate employment. whether he
be member OF a labor organization
or not has the right TO do so with
out being inundated or molested."
It would be impossible 10 maintain
Just and continuing government
upon a contrary principle or theory
of human rights. AS the individual
owes an obligation to the Govern
ment. so the Government owes 9
counterbalancing obligation TO tn,
individual. A government. whether
/ it be Federal. State or local, which
neglected or refused to protect tn,
individual in his constitutional ant
lawful rights would be worse thai

UNDEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT.

Voters who go to the polls find
omissions in the lists Of public offices
to be filed. They find no place TO vote
for tanitor of their courthouse nor
bailiff Of the district court. For in
explicable reasons the people have
been denied control Of the important
and rather lucrative Office Of district
court photographer. The offices OF
deputy county treasurer and OF county
physician. say nothing OF overseer or
the county poor farm, have been plac-
ed beyond control Of the people and
given over to the appointment Of some
central tyranny.
Voters are given no voice in filling
the very important Office OF clerk OF
the Supreme Court, neither are they
allowed to elect the stenographers of
the supreme judges. No wonder the
machinery of justice goes haltinsly.
Among other important offices in the
| filling of which the voters have no
voice are those OF Deputy State
Treasurer, the several members OF the
great State normal beard. the chancel-
lor OF the university, his numerous
utuIlN anu louI liNo hNiiNii w PiN-
fessors and instructors. The voters
are denied the right TO elect the super
Ilntendents of the State asylums for
the insane, the warden of the State
prison, the sergeant-at-arms OF the
House and Senate, TO say nothing OF
the chief clerks and their assistants
and the pages and stenographers and
custodians of cloak rooms. Foremer
of State road building gangs are Sc
, lected without the advice or consent
OF the people. How long can We
| tolerate this denial of Democracy?
On the whole, we should say there
are not less than 5000 State ant
! county offices which voters are denied
the right TO fill by direct election
{ Logically the six feet Of ballot which
S we handle should be 600. Yet there ar

STRANGERS.

Strangers very often greet you
Just as though they're glad TO meet
you.
Smile the way the home-folk do.
Shake your hand and talk to you;
Now and then they'll walk beside yau,
In a friendly way they'll guide you.
But they've passed along the way
At the ending OF the day.
Each OF US who plays the ranger
Is to all he meets 4 stranger,
But the CHEEKY voice and smile
Vanish in little while;
And although kind hands assist US,
As a stranger they shall list us.
We have met and gone our way.
Travellers Of a summer day.
Favors many they will show us.
But they never come to know US, 20
And they're different from the few
Good old loyal friends and true
Who have known us through the
years,
Shared our laughter and our tears;
Bright the smile and kind the deed,
But IT'S friendship that we need.
Though ten Thousand strangers chez
us,
Wait upon US and stand near US.
Smile and comfort and are kind,
Still the old friends left behind
VIII be calling. day by day,
! And along the dusty way
We shall yeran. where'er we roam
For the smiles of those at home.
Kind though strangers are and CHEEKY
OF them all we soon grow weary
And our steps we would re-trace
| To the old, familiar place
! Where the smiles and all their bright
/ ness
Are not merely mems politeness.
It's upon the old-time friends
That our happiness depends.

GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK.


A political question of much inter-
est at this time is: Who will be the
next governor Of New York; The
Republicans Will rsnominats Governor
Nathan Miller, who has made an ex-
oellent record, but the Democratic
nomination Is, involved In doubt
Some Tammany leaders insist upon
the nomination Of William Randolph
Hearst, a suggestion most intolcrable
to all good Democrats. Hearst, how
ever, is more inclined TO the nomina-
ton for United States Senator, but
pertly announces he would accept II
only on tho condition OF Mayor Hylan
Of New York City being nominated
for governor. And that suggestion also
is disgusting to good Democrats.
The most popular suggestion for
tho Democratic nomination for gov
ernor Is Ex-Governor Alfred Smith
He was defeated In 1920, but while
President Harding carried the State
by more than a million plurality
Smith was defeated BY Governor NIL
Ter by barely $4,000. A candidate WIFI
can make such q showing IL worth
considering. to say nothing OF tn,

SUCCESS Is ASSURED.

Assurances of Democratic success
at the forthcoming Congressional
elections have been greatly Increased
by the Inclusion In the Fordncy-Mc-
Cumber Tariff bill of provision giving
tho President authority TO increase
or decrease tariff rates, according to
Democrats who have studied tho reao-
ton that has followed the senate's
grant o. legislative power TO tho ex-
soutive.
These Democratic observers believe
that the Observation-Disclosures bill. al
ready highly unpopular with \ large
section OF the Republican press and
electors, has been made much more
obnoxious to tho people OF all parties
by this attempt to transfer tho powers
and responsibility Of Congress- to the
President. The result TO tho Repub-
