The Radical Subdivision.

Chicago has been the scene of q
somewhat familiar process this week
in the meeting Of group. or group of
Called together as the farmer-labor
party. with delegates from a widely
variant range of individual organiza-
tions, the 500 or so delegates found
themselves unable to agree upon a
platform. Certain highly radical fac.
tors soon appeared and endeavored to
take charge of the gathering. One of
these was w. u. Foster, who was re-
Gently tried in Michigan for participa-
ton in a subversive movement. with
the result of a hung jury. Another
was his associate Ruthenberg, who was
convicted in that state on the same
charge. These and others, who always
turn up at meetings of the discomfort
ed, manipulated the preliminary COM
mittee meetings and presented plat
form resolutions so inflammatory in
nature that the more conservative
delegates. particularly those of the
some hours of maneuvering and pro-
testing the meeting split, and the
farmer-labor forces held their ground,
while the more radical factors with
drew to organize the federated
farmer-l labor party"
Again and again has this phenom-
enon been presented in American po-
litical history. The radical elements
cannot and never have been able to
agree. For there are only a very few
who want the extreme, and they can.
not sway the majority. There are de-
grees of dissent. The Foster Ruthen-
berg dissent is of the violent type,
communistic and sovietist. The true
farmer dissent is more constructive,
and seeks a betterment Of conditions
without the destruction of the funda-
mentals Of good government.
Even in the ranks of the extremists
who now form the so-called federated
party are differences. There are those
who want the full and final plunge
into sovietism Of the Russian kind.
Then, again, there are those who
would go only half way. Eventually
these will clash, and q break in the
federated" lines is to be expected.
1t has often been said that it would
be we'll for the United States if all
the radicals of the extreme type could
be brought into the open and counted,
by means of an election, with an un-
mistakably conlmunistic platform and
candidate presented. Perhaps as a re-
suit of this Chicago breakup and of
the later disintegrations in the radical
groups that are almost certain to oc-
cur there will be such a lineup in
1924 that will present dependable
reckoning of the real strength Of
ultra-radicalism in the country. That
it will be a very small percentage of
the people is well assured.

that state told the President that they
would dare to lay an irreverent finger
on the bronze effigies Of Andrew Jack
son and his horse.
President Harding said that there
had been no official proposal to move
Jackson to Washington Circle and that
no such change would be made with.

The picture of u st. Bernard dog,
its head being stroked by the friendly

caught his eye. For a moment he
stared at the paper in Amusement.
Then the gloom passed. There was

If the owner had not been found

because during be-kind- to- animals

because he happened to be the second
