BRIEF PARTY PLATFORMS.

Mrs. Ben Hooper of Oshkosh, Wis,
Democratic nominee for the United
States senate, is advocating brief,
plainly worded party platforms. 1t is
a needed reform
The thing which determined Mrs.
Hooper's stand is that she took the
trouble last winter to read both the Dem
ocratic and Republican platforms for
the election campaigns of 1920" She
found that each of them contained '.22
pages of printed matter" She thinks
that the tendency of so much language
is to conceal rather than clarity thought
and so comes out for the short state
ment of party principles.
There is precedent for her opinion
The Ten Commandments, the Sermon on
the Mount, the Lords Prayer the Dec
laration of Independence and Lincoln's
Gettysburgh speech are a few of the evil
dences that any statement of principles
can be expressed in few words without
losing effectiveness.
Aside from her timely suggestion of
breyity, Mrs. Hooper unconsciously of
fers another idea to the thoughtful She
read those party platforms, even if they
were long. How many voters follow the
same practice?

WELLS. Nj. p

II. @. Wells has been chosen as the
Labor candidate of London university,
for the next general election. 1t is re
ported that Wells himself does not feel
complete confidence in his qualifications
for parliamentary career, because of a
poor speaking voice and nervousness
when speaking publicly.
1t will be interesting to Mr.. Wells's
readers on this side of the Atlantic to
note the success of his campaign. He
is likely to receive the support of many
friends who do not necessarily share
his political views The Manchester
Guardian believes his chances of success
are not unpromising.
Not many prominent authors in this
country run for congress. Neither do
the heroes of American novels round
out glorious careers by becoming mem
bers of the house of representatives, al
though the heroes in English novels are
frequently leading NJ. P's.
One thing is certain, Mr.. Wells has
an active mind which he is not afraid
to use. If he is elected to parliament
he will not be idle there. And after
wards he may write a book about it a.
stimulating and enlightening as the
books he has written on PRACTICAL,
every other subject.
