LA FOLLETTE"s WAR RECORD

Prior to the primaries Bro Sher-
man of the Herald felt quite confident
that La Toilette would win the nomi-
nation but thought the Senator lost
considerable support by stressing his
war record. Then in other words, the
voters would have made it unanimous.
-Cassville Record
Nevertheless, Record, the Herald
sees no reason to change it's state
ment in the slightest degree. La Fol
lette won not on account of his war
record, but in spite of it, because no
one against him was as strong, astute
and capable as he was and is.
The war record could have been
better left out of the campaign. No
one brought it up but Bob, himself,
and his constant reiteratiOns made one
wonder whether or not he wasn't try
ing to convince himself.
There is plenty of right and some
wrong on both sides of this question.
La FoIIette undoubtedly had a legal
and constitutional right to vote
against the war. Perhaps time will
prove that he was right and that the
majority of the people were wrong.
Nevertheless, we firmly believe that
once in the war had all Of congress
acted and voted as La Toilette did we
would have lost the war. That is, we
believe, the reason for his injecting
his war stand into the campaign.
Majorities, votes Of confidence, etc,
have not the slightest jot or little to
90 with the Justice of this or several
other matters.

ARMENIAN RELIEF

Another drive is being made for Ar
nenian relief. Those Armenians must
be a Iong-Iived and sturdy race. For
the past 80 years we can remember
drives for Armenian relief and appar-
emily the Turks have not been able to
exterminate them all even as yet In
the meantime some of the more civil
lied nations have been shedding tears
over Armenia's fate while sturdily
hanging onto possessions that were
literally lifted by them. It's worth
having, sometimes-so something to
grow sympathetic about while we hold
onto stuff behind our backs.

That press has an interesting his
tory. In 1912, it was taken to Wis
consin and on it was printed the
Grant County Herald. Afterward 1t
was taken to st. Paul, and it printed
the st. Paul Pioneer, the hrst paper
in Minnesota territory.
In 1858, the same press went TO
Sioux Falls, in Dakota, and the first
newspaper in that territory was
printed on it, the Dakota Democrat.
In March, 1862, the Sioux Indians
burned the town and this pioneer of
American civilization persisted in the
flames"

THE GRAND OLD TRAIFF

The Harding administration has
followed time-honored precedent ana
put the tariff back into politics (that
is if it ever left). A tariff made, IN
many cases, to pay back for hand
some campaign contributions is not
starting on very honest basis re-
CARELESS of the resonant defense we
hear about protecting American LABOR.
The stand of the manufacturing
barons is rather unique and worth
noting as we pass the point. On one
hand we hear the barons abusing Ia
Dor because it is unionized and aple
to demand a lions share Cor more)
of profits. To take profit away from
big business is nothing short OF h1gh
crime. On the other hand we see the
barons waxing fearful about protect
inc American labor from that awful
pauper labor of Europe.
The fact is that American labor IS
pretty well able to take care OF Itself.
Too much so, we often think. Inc
fact is also that capital is really
worrying considerably more about ex-
torting high prices from the public
for its own benefit than it is about
protecting labor from European low
wages. The old argument IS stlll
used although it is getting pretty
thread-bare.
A tariff TO reasonably protecE
American capital and American LABOR
IS good thing and should be adopted
An extortionate tariff made Tin many
cases) to pay campaign debts, is not
likely to stand. Well, We'll see.

THE MOBILES HIGHEST MAN

News Item-Henry Ford has passed
John D. Rockefeller and is the richest
man in the world, according to an
article published Wednesday by The
Wall Street Journal.
Henry Ford has in the Ford Motor
Co the largest income and, if capital
lied. the largest fortune in the world, .
said the newspaper. His profits be-
fore taxes for 1922 are deducted will
exceed $125, 100000 After taxes they
viii be $110.000,000, about 500 a car.
With these earnings the Ford Motor
Co, could be capitalized at $2,000.000
and pay per cent on that capital.
Henry Ford, with his income Of
$4,000 a day, probably unequaled in
history, is a Wall Street in himself.
If he continues to pile up cash at this
rate he cannot long denounce Wall
Street or the money power Of the
country. He will be that money
power"
The above may be exaggerated but
the fact remains that Henry Ford is
one of the worlds richest men and
another fact is that everybody calls
him Henry" and his car Lizzie. "
This is as it should be and all very
democratic. No one we ever talked to
begrudged Henry a nickel Of his
money. Everybody comedies he made
it honestly and through superior abil-
ity and organization Americans don't
hate wealth where they know it is
honest wealth. We do hate wealth
when we know it has been created by
extortion. Incidentally while making
all his money Mr.. Ford has enriehen-
ed thousands of others. Made lives
fuller, happier and far more comfort
able. More power to him.

KEEPING A HABIT

Eli Frazer, "a, inmate of the Polk
County Home at Des MOines, quits
chewing after 80 years use OF the
weed because his wife, go, asked him
to. Wen say Eli is foolish. Anyone
using the weed for 80 years and still
finding a solace in it shouldn't quit.
Wen bet that by this time Eli is back
with his cud regardless of what the
old lady says about it.

League of Nations, MOrtuis Est.

corning Turkey, GTeece, the Balkan

war on a small scale has already be-
gun and the conflagratiOn is likely to
spread 1t begins to appear that the
days of war are not yet over. And
what will become Of the boosted pol
icy OF isolation" for the United States
if the Turks win some real victories
and encroach on Christian territory?
That is a very likely happening and
will bring a big demand for action Of
some kind on the part Of Uncle Sam
"a demand that hardly can be denied.
Doesn't it seem probable, or at least
possible, that a powerful League of
Nations could prevent such interna-
tional difficulties before they get a
fair Bloomington Record.
Veiy likely, Friend Bish, a powerful
league of nations would have now
been sending American boys into
Asia Minor to fight England's battles,
something like Wilson sent American
boys to northern Russia to freeze
nobody knew why.
league Of nations with teeth in it
would have been: "A league to en-
IOrce the supremacy OF the Anglo
Saxon branch of the white race"
Called by that name most of us Che
ing born pro-English) would have
supported it, However, we couldn't
quite stomach the unctuous platitudes
and idealism surrounding the League
OF Nations"
In his last paragraph Bish asks the
world question. For the world we
swer-"No!" Events since the war
and the gradual extinction of the
feeble league has proved it.

ARIsTOCRACY or INTELLECT

News Item=-Hanover, N. H.-Op-
portunities of higher education ought
10 be increasingly restricted to an ar
istocracy Of brains, composed Oh the
intellectually alert and eager, IL
democracy is to become quanty
product rather than one OF quanIty'
president Ernest M. Hopkins OF Dart
mouth college said in addressing the
student body at the opening OF the
academic year Thursday. TOO many
men are going to college" he de-
clared. 'The opportunities for OBJ
tanning an education by way OF the
college course are definitely PRIV.
lege and not all universal rlght'
President Hopkins said.
The above makes US fear that Presl-
dent Hopkins belongs to the school OF
college educators who bar out worthy
applicants for college work Where
thev fail to produce ridiculous little
high school credits.
There is a growing tendency IN thls
country to beat the poor but strug-
Cling youth out of the advantages OF
an education. 1t now takes ABOUT
nine wears to be an M. d. Most
schools require four or five years Tor
an engineering degree. Law isn't so
had but the bars are being put up
there to. The whole tendency seems
TO be to tax the whole people for
higher educational schools but TO re-
serve the advantages of these schoois
for the children OF the rich or we'll
to-dO.
This "aristocracy of brains" idea is
a thin veneer for an aristocracy OF
class. In Hopkins school men IKE
Abe Lincoln, Thomas A. Edison,
Marshall Field, Andrew Carnegie,
Charles M. Schwab, R. T. Crane ana
a multitude of others including most
of the old masters Of art, science ana
literature. wouldn't have had show.
Not having been through some little
ierk-water high school they "oulu
automatically have been barred from
attending high-brow university
1t is perfectly obvious thai no one
can be the judge. Of who are ana VINO
are not budding gentuses. Out OF the
ferment of the race, constantly work
ing up, aye, even from the very bot
TOM. come the brightest minds VINO
shall form this aristocracy ana by
what mystic passwords does the neo-
nbvte cain entrance to the sacred cir
Gle?
Bv surrounding themselves with an
aura of sanctity and preference the
colleges are losing chance to claim
credit for some Of the WORLDS pest
minds. Hopkins should remember
the adage: HE who can does. lie
who cannot teaches"
