Party Golfers.

We are told-we usually are told at
this. stage Of every national cam.
paign. congressional or presidential
that party managers are finding col.
lections difficult: that the country
seems filled with tightwads: that lid"
passers are returning with lids
empty. Nothing doing.
1t is good dunning maneuver and
usually succeeds The effect is to
wake up men with party pride. There
are many such. Probably the most
liberal contributors to>eampaign funds
are men who seek no office-could not,
indeed, be induced to hold Office. They

tion Of the word; study the game.
know what is necessary to play the
game legitimately and anxious to see
their views triumph at the polls, assist
with money contributions to pay
legitimate. campaign expenses.
These men would not contribute a
dollar in any. cause to be used for
corrupt purposes. Their aim is to
promote good government, by the
adoption Of sound policies and the cleo
ton of good men to office to carry
them out.
It would be idle to say that money
Is never improperly used In elections.

The First Herrin Indictment.

After more than two months a
grand jury is at work at Marion, ILL.,,
Investigating the atrocious crime at
Herrin, where on the 21st Of June last
a mob of men descended upon coal
working and slew more than score
of miners and mine officials. Yester-
day the first indictment was handed
Of killing the superintendent Of the
mine. simultaneously with this an
nouncement came a statement from
Frank Harrington. president of the
miners union Of the state, to the effect
that that organization will spare no
expense in defending its members" !"
That statement alone is not calculated
to challenge criticism, but back of it
lies a persistent attitude on the part
Of the leaders of the mine workers
in obstruction rather than in aid of
justice. Ever since the crime was
committed the leaders. ofsthe strikers
have shown q disposition to hamper
the prosecution Of any. inquiry, ~.
1t is, of course, proper for, the mine
workers organization to contribute to
the defense -of it's members who.n,ay
be accused Of completely in this crime.
But It would have been much more
sasacious for the leaders to urge
rather, than deprecate investigation,
to the end Of finding those who were
guilty. There is no question whatever
that murder was committed, on a
shocking scale Of magnitude and with
abomihable "ferocity. The only ques.
tion is who committed 1T. That those
engaged in the attack upon the mine
were themselves miners on strike ia
a fair assumption. for they alone. had
a motive for putting stop to the op-
erations at Herrin. There H. ground
for belief, too. that tho attack jwaa
planned. that the mob. armed itself by
systematic raids upon shops where
munitions were sold, that there Was
leadership and definite course Of
action. * $50

Is Blease Coming Back?

The strength shown by Cole L.
Blease in the South Carolina guberna-
torial primary surprises outsiders. AS
he had. twice tried unsuccessfully for
the Senate. opinion had obtained that
he had shot his bolt and could not
come back in any form for any place.
But on Tuesday he led the poll and
so will, be in the 'run-eff which takes
place September IL. ~, --.
AS The Star pointed out a short
time ago, Mr.. Blease's radicalism does
not today shock as 1t did some years
since, when he figured in the news as
the author Of the exclamation, ITO
hell with the Constitution" That. ex-
clamation has not become common,
but it is heard here and there, now
and then, along with many extreme
suggestions about making the govern
ment over in the image Of a new
democracy preached by new men,. Old
things, it is contended, have passed.
New things are. at hand and should
be seized and applied.
AS Mr.. Blease has twice served his
state in the governorship. he will not
be stranger in the office If now re-
turned to it. He will, however. find
the times quite different from those
he knew and dealt with when in COM
mission before. and so it is useless to
speculate about his course during a

A Survey of Russia.

II the soviet government at Moscow
will agree to the suggested economic
survey Of Russia by a commission OF
American experts the world may at
last know the truth about conditions
in the land which has been isolated
from the rest Of humanity by the
misrule Of Lenin and his associates.
Certainly, until some such survey is
made it Is idle to talk of American
assistance in the restoration OF Rus
sia. American dollars will not be sent
beyond a veil which American intel
ligence cannot penetrate.
1t is typical Of the grotesque con-
ception which the soviet authorities
seem to have of international affairs
that there should have been advanced
a counter proposal for a reciprocal
survey of economic conditions in the
United States by a commission OF Rus
sian experts. AS the United States
has made no attempt to borrow Rus
sian rubles the purpose of the pro-
posed counter survey evidently would
dollars were good enough for Russia.
The State Department gives as
surances that the suggested survey
would have no political character or
significance, and makes 1t plain that
it Is not to be made possible basis
for recognition of the soviet govern
ment. If it is undertaken it is to be
an economic and financial inquiry, and
nothing more.
That some such survey is needed
has long been recognized. Something
must be done some time to restore
productivity in Russia and bring her
back into the community Of nations.
But so long as lies and propa ganda
constitute almost the sole Russian
export there is nowhere to make a
beginning. The United States Is one
country which could make such sur
vey without being under suspicion OF
Interior motives. We have no direct
political interest in Russia and our
financial interests there are so small
that we would not be accused Of col
oring our report to meet selfish ends.
The traditional and lately redemon-
strated friendship Of this country for
the Russian people ought to make an
American survey welcome to the Rus
sian masses.
Were the survey organized and di-
rected under such auspices as those
of Secretary Hoover. for instance. the
report would be a document which all
the world would accept as authentic,
and it might well be a real beginning
of the gigantic task involved in the
salvation Of Russia.

A Road to Fortune.

1t would appear from the findings
of Miss Ethel NJ. Johnson of the
minimum wage commission of Bos-
ton, that wealth is accessible to almost
any one. and that poverty can soon
be abolished from the confines of the
nation. After looking into working
conditions among women Miss john
son reports that 80 q week Is enough
for q working girl to live on and that
SIT a week will supply her with all
the luxuries.
II this Is true, any working girl
who gets $12 a week can save 50,
which. put out at compound interest.
will soon become an important ac-
cumulation. If she earns $50, as
some stenographers do. fortune will
soon be hers.
Working girls eat as much and re-
quire as many clothes as other more
NAL human beings. If they can live
on 50 a week other people can, and
the saving that can be effected by
clerks getting $25 will insure opu-
lence.
OF course, II this schedule is adopt-
ed there will not be any business for
the dry goods stores except the sale
of calico and cheap shoes and stock
ings, and there won't be any theaters
or movie" shows. or automobiles or
anything else that makes for pros

NEW YORK, Oct 7.-Roofed- over
shipping districts will be common
sights in American cities within the
next few years. From those roofs
giant airplanes and airships will be
flying on railroad-like schedules, car
rytng passengers and freight from city
to city.
Commuters will think nothing OF
coming to business daily from a dis
lance Of 100 miles. San Francisco
will be only a days ride from New
York.
The city will project itself into the
country, and the country will invade
the city-with many advantages to
both. Billions of dollars will be
added to the rural real estate values
of the United States; whole new
areas will come in for development;
and city congestion will be largely
reduced.
I say these things from knowledge
of what has already been accom-
plished. There is nothing of the fan
tastic in these predictions.

Flying costs are bound to come
down as the public learns it has moth

airplane tickets will eventually bring

slower rail travel.
1t is conceivable that the day may
come when airplanes will be punched

one. l am more inclined to the belief,
however, that the immediate develop
