UNFAILING SIGNS

' Signs that the country is not
overly-much pleased with the
Harding brand OF normally have
been very much in evidence OF
late. First a Republican con-
gresham was elected in Maine
by a greatly reduced plurality
and then followed a congress
sional election in New York
State in n district that went Re
publican by 10000 in 1920. The
Republican candidate was elect
ed-with majority of less than
5000. over his Democratic OPP
ponent.
But these examples OF fast
failing G.. O. p. strength were
nothing, said the Republican,
soothsayers. According to their
particular brand of political as
trology, Republican stars were
undimmed. They claimed to see
no significance in the fact thai
both congressman pulled through
by the narrowest of margins in
districts which normally are
overwhelmingly Republican.
A short time later, however
Mr.. Beveridge, aided and abetted
by his Indiana cohorts, somewhat
ruiiled the SNUG complacency OF
Old Guard leaders in the Hoosiei
state by defeating one Mr.. New
close friend of Mr.. Harding, foi
the senatorial nomination. The
Old Guard, however. while net.
tied over such proceedings
quickly recovered its composurt
and was quick to assert that tn,
Indiana result was of no unusual
significance. Serenity reigned il
The Old Guard camp. And ther
came Pennsylvania and Mr.
pinchot.
The powerful blow delivered
10 the Kepublican machine IN the
Keystone State by Mr.. Pinchot
was of such force as TO even
cause the Old Guard to gasp il
wonderment. But not for long
The Alibi Club, headed by Gov
Sproul, obstinately refuses TO see
in the Pinchot victory evidences
of the unrest and displeasure over
Republican rule at Washington
which are rapidly sweeping the
country. Some members of the
Old Guard are even bold enough
TO claim that the licking handed
10 it by the former Bull Mooser
is actually "a party victory" All
of which reminds us of the habit
of the ostrich, which buries its
head in the desert sands and
thinks its whole body is safely
hidden away.

THE BUSY DOLLAR

In the old-time school the class
in mathematics felt that it had a
mans job when it was wrestling
with the division i'll the arith-
metic devoted to partial pay
ments." And a similar state OF
perplexity often is presented in
business.
Partial payments continue to
be big problems. and the temp
tation comes in the time of a gen
eral slowing down in business
conditions to postpone payment
of an entire obligation when the
money with which TO pay all OF
it is not easily accessible. But
such a course is a dangerous
policy for business to pursue.
1t must be borne in mind that
1t is the dollar that is moving that
helps, and the greater the NUM-
Der of partial-payment dollars
put into circulation the greater
will be the impetus given to
business.
The school-boy of a generation
ago found that when he had mas
tered partial payments" he had
gained much confidence in his
own accuracy, his systematic
method of work, his ability to
stick to problem until it was
Solved. 1t is SO with business.

LETTER TO EDITOR
Mr.. Douw Makes Further Reference
To The New County Commissioner
Law And His Position Concerning IL.

Law Anu his POSITION concerning IL
To the Editor Of EUeniHg Capital:
Mr. Editor:-It Is extremely hard to
express ones self in a manner which
will not be misunderstood. when writ
ing letters TO a newspaper, owing to
the effort made to make the communi-
cation in as few words as possible.
regret that you place the construction
you have in regard TO my question in
my letter OF May 18th, in which | ask,
How many knew the act in question
had been introduced and passed until
the movement for referendum was
inaugurated?
! wish TO state that had no inten-
ton of giving the impression to you.
or anyone else, that there was no pub
lication OF the introduction of the bill
reducing the size of the County Com
missioners' Board.
In your editorial you make state
ment that at is undoubtedly safe To
say that the act in question has been
read by very few, If any, of those
who, fon one reason or another, are
attaching their names to the referen-
DUN petitions being sent around the
county. In other words, they literally
don't know what they are doing, any
more than many of the persons who
are Directing to the bill know that
they are talking about" This state
ment is a general one and is state
ment of personal opinion on your
part. My statement, which you have
construed in a manner never intend
ed, is also personal opinion. My in
tention was TO convey that about as
many persons read and digested the
press accounts, as you claim have
read and understood the law upon
which referendum is being asked.
Now as 10 the question of factions
and the Progressive" wing OF the
Democratic party. If fighting against
what | do not consider for the best in
terests of the county and of the party,
then | am a nationalist of the great
est degree. If it so happens that it is
necessary to make factional fight in
order that the county may get the best
laws and the best men for it's govern
ment, do not hesitate TO do it. From
! my standpoint, which / pointed out in
my letter to you, published May 18th.
| am opposed to decreasing the Coun-
| ty Commissioners from seven to three.
| If opposing this or any other law
makes factional matter OF it, | am
willing to stand on it, | have no oh
lection to using any legitimate means
10 gain my point.
In closing, Mr.. Editor. | quote your
editorial of the 18th, in which you
state. at is not contended that the
law is free from any objection at all.
Whether il be wise or unwise legisla-
tion,-whether IL be an improvement
over the present systom.-is a matter
for honest difference OF opinion" |
thoroughly agree with you. The only
way it can be settled is By a vote OF
our people II they want three Coun-
~ Commissioners or seven. they are
At liberty to decide; provided the
question is placed on the ballot. In
any event. this controversy will. per-
aaps. result in more persons taking
interest in the political affairs OF their
county, if nothing else
Very truly yours.
