Call to Loyalty

GOVERNOR of Kansas missed a great
~ opportunity at the Republican party council
at Topeka, in the view of the Kansas City Star.
Being governor and party spokesman at a party
gathering, what a chance he had to make a party
speech, full of platitude and praise-the regular
convention speech, in short, in which the state il
on having the party and the party
is congratulated on having the state.
Governor Allen overlooked that opportunity and
chose TO speak as an American and on a subject so
apart from partisan considerations as the neces-
sity of unfolding the law in America end even in
Kansas. He was bold enough to say that was a
more important matter than the partySs own meas
ures now an issue in the campaign.
"The need" he told the convention, sis for a real.
isation of our responsibility as citizens toward or
DERBY government and respect for the law
If the governor had stopped there his hearers
might have supposed he meant this need was ap-
parent elswhere than in Kansas, and among others
than Americans. But Governor Allen missed an
other opportunity in not stopping there.
ct am not speaking here of the aliens,n who
come from other Countries" he said, " nor of the
red radicals who are among us. I am speaking of
hearts of Americans and Kansans. 1t is the man
who says, Il am an American citizen and then
snaps his fingers at American law, that is the real
menace to American government"
That is a new kind of language to hold at a party
meeting whore, as everybody knows, all political
tradition calls for the heartiest ladling of oil and
treacle. But If 1t was unusual language Governor
Allen is an unusual party leader and the occa-
sion was unusual. Tho occasion in Kansas ard
America, calls for a new language, not of party
but of Americanism, and not from q party leader
but from a leader of the nations patriotism, citi-
zenship and sober reflective thought. There are
plenty of political leaders to tell Americans that
the country's troubles are all from alien reds, and
too few national leaders to tell them q good share
of these troubles como from themselves, their own
heedlessness, selfishness, patriotic indifference.
Many Americans will be glad Governor Allen
missed his opportunities at Topeka and spoke these
novel words instead OF the commonplace ones that
might have been looked for. Plenty of political
LADDERS will make up for the governors oversight.
He can afford to miss such chances and Kansas
and the country can afford to have him miss them.

Power in White Coal

TN tho midst Of the anxieties over
getting coal out OF the ground and
getting it transported where II Is

toward the mines OF white COAL" says
the New York Times. "They lie upon

not an abundance of black coal for
generations TO come. There are 20
billion IONS of anthracite and 1900
billion tons of bitEminous coal stored
below the surface IN the United States

1T is this responsibility, and not

tion was revived and recognized by a
law which was vetoed by President
Wilson just before he retired from the
executive office. and It was passed
over his veto.
Another plank in the Democratic
state platform says:
1--WE recommend the same consider
alton for the farmers against tho low
prices Of their surplus exports as II
is granted to manufacturers against
the low priced European imports"
This was characterized In the Demo
cratic party council as the tariff
plank" In their platform. Ono dele
gate declared that this was the only
plank in the platform that he could
take back home and tell the farmers
was intended for their relief.
Here again the Republicans are
pointing out that the Democrats
adopted the plank without knowing
what had been done by congress on
the subject. The emergency tariff
bill, now in existence. provides a very
high tariff On all agricultural prod
ucts. including livestock and meat
The now tariff bill Just PISSED by 10th
houses Of congress. but not yet out Of
conference. leaves the high rate or
agricultural products. but not as hisf
as the emergency tariff bill now pre-
vailing. Indeed. one OF the objection,
made against tho tariff law. it Il
pointed out. is the high rates 1t estab
fishes on agricultural products.

Platform Jokers

The Republicans appear to have n
joke on the Democrats as the result
OF the platform drawn by that party
IN Kansas.
The Democrats declared. as one Of
their offerings for catching the votes
of he farmers in the coming cam
paign, for the following.
I'VE urge the reorganization and
continuation Of the war finance cor
poration as a permanent credit
agency for the service of agriculture"
Tho Republicans point out hat the
war finance corporation was revived
and reorganized in February. 1921.
and hat it has been doing business
since that time for tho very purpose
demanded by the Democratic plat
form, an agency for the service Of ag-
riculture.

The students like the knickerbockcrs
because they are more comfortable than
