la TOILETTE CAN BE ELECTED

Some of the papers opposed to La
Toilette and Wheeler are adopting a
line of argument more clever than
convicing.
The New York World argues that
the "only effect of the La Toilette
campaign will be to throw the election
into the Ilouse of Representative,
where the confusion would be ap-
palling." ,,
In its opinion, progressives should
have waged only a congressional cam
paign this year and in 1926. By 1928
they might have captured one or
another of the old parties.
Wrong all along the line.
In the first place, there is no IN
herent reason whatever why the best
the La Toilette forces can hope for
IS to throw the election into the House
of Representatives
The people can if they will elect
la Toilette and Wheeler.
If they do not, and if under our
cumbersome Constitution the election
Is thrown into the House of Represen-
ta+ives that is not the fault OF the
progTessive movement, nor Will the
resultant confusion be so great as to
nullify the gain of an outspokenly
progressive campaign.
That this is not the time for action
is ALWAYS the cry Of the timld or OF
the insidious enemy Of progress.
The World knows better than to
believe that by 1928 one or another
of the old parties may be captured.
The attempt to capture one OF them
has been going on for years. The re-
suit, in spite Of progressive galns IN
certain local elections, was the nomln-
alton of the Siamese twins, Coolidge
and Davis, by the two old parties.
And neither party after all the
many attempts to capture them Tor
progressive purposes could be per
euad-d to adopt even a moderately
progressive platform!
Inertia, money, the power Of organ
ization. the vested interest in jobs all
combine to make our parties mere
vote getting machines, in which dl-
yergent elements are held together
bv the sole desire for office and ma
nipulated by the interests which pay
their bills.
The times are ripe and more than
ripe to challenge the unreality and
pfvocrisy of our sham political con
tests bv the one most effective meth
od-a nationwide presidential cam
piagn. -,
The man or woman who for the
sake of some imaginary immediate
gain as between Davis and Coolidge
votes an old line ticket this year IN
preference to supporting La Toilette
and Wheeler is like the man in the
old story who shut out the sight OF
the sun by fixing a nickel firmly be-
fore his eye.

FIGURES FOR FARMERS

Fifty-seven farmers in New Hamp-
shire kept an accurate account of
their expenses and income in the year
ending April l, 1922, for the state COL
lege. They averaged an income of
S700 on an investment Of S8,140, af-
ter paying expenses. Deducting in
terest no the investment at $50, they
received 1928 each, that year, for
their labor. Their average taxes
deducted as eXpense-were $3.50, or
34&o Of the labor income and taxes
combined.
Compare this with the federal tax
on other incomes, or with the Massa-
chusetts tax Of go on income from
intangible property.

HANDS MADE TO FEED MOUTH

Whereas, God Almighty, has given
to every man one mouth to be fed
and one pair of hands adapted to fur
nish food for that mouth, if anything
can be proved to be the will Of heaven
it is proved by this fact that the
mouth is to be fed by those hands
without being interfered with by any
other man who has also his mouth to
feed and his hands to labor with. !
hold, if the Almighty has ever made
a set of men that should do all the
eating and none of the work, He
would have made them with mouths
only and no hands; and if He had
made another class that He intended
should do all the work and none of
the eating, He would have made them
without mouths, and with all hands.

KLEIN FOR SUPREME JUDGE

Labor organizations and progress
sives have started a campaign to pu'
Nicholas Klein of Cincinnati on the
Supreme court bench for the short
term, by filing a petition with $500
names with the election board. Two
years ago Klein lost the election by
only Is votes in the entire state.
Klein has been attorney for numer-
our labor organizations and has been
a consistent fighter against monop-
oily, graft and greed.

CHILD LAW IN RHODE ISLAND

Rhode Islands new child labor law
went into effect Sept. l. This law
prohibits children under Is years of
age from working in any manufac-
turing establishment or commercial
place between the hours of p. m.
and 6 a. M, in other words forbid
ding night work Children who have
not passed sixth grade grammar
studies are also forbidden workers
papers. The new law is very unsat-
iefactory to organized labor. 1t
strikes only night work of children in
the textile mills but day slavery goes
on for the children and the parents
wages are beaten down towards the
level of the children's.

out of the Knights of Pythias hall
just as he was starting to speak, but
accumulated an audience in a dark
and musty hall on Seventh Street,
where he proceeded to tear into the
other parties and denounced Senator
La Toilette as a "reactionary."
Gitlow's speech unloosed a flood of
political oratory in the capitol with
the result that both President Cool
idge and Senator La Toilette have
now jumped actively into the cam
paign via the radio. The President
makes his speeches to various ma
tional organizations meeting in the
capitol while La Toilette spoke di-
rectly for the radio, his first speech
having been delivered on Labor Day.
Senator Wheeler has been selected
to do most of the cross-country
stumping for the Progressives, just
as General Dawes will do it for the
Republicans. Wheeler is now in New
England and after he winds up there
he will strike westward.
Returning from a ten-day vacation
in Vermont, President Coolidge will
remain in Washington for some
weeks, although he plans to make at
least one speech in the Middle West
before November, probably at Kansas
City or Chicago. For the next week
or so he will be engaged in organiz-
ing the federal commission which will
investigate the farming industry.
Although the Democratic national
campaign is being directed from
headquarters here, Nominee Davis
has not put in his appearance here
this far. He is expected to stop off
in Washington during his campaign
ing, but finds this city out of the
beaten path in his trips East to West.
Edward, Prince of Wales, has come
and gone, his brief visit to this city,
serving to forge another link in the
chain binding the two great English
speaking nations. Aside from having
luncheon with the President and few
officials at the Executive Mansion,
the Prince had no other engagements
here, leaving for Long Island to wit
ness the international polo matches.
Capitol debutantes, who had expect
ed to have an opportunity to meet the
Prince at some social affair, were
therefore greatly disappointed.

y more than a thousand dollars

outtoned uniforms, the Federation de-
,lares that their motto is to be 'less

tics adopted by the so-called in
surgents" in forming alliances
with the minority. Party har-
mony is seemingly at its lowest
ebb. 1t is also a fact that the
Democrats are not in perfect
agreement on party policies.
The Walsh report on the oil
investigation was surprisingly
mild in view of the sensational
testimony adduced before the
special Senate committee during
the winter months. II is said
that the Democrats were disap-
pointed because the Walsh report
was not in keeping with the
character of the newspaper &C
counts of the investigation. and
as a consequence failed to pro-
vide what would otherwise have
been an excellent campaign docu-
ment. The Republicans have
adopted the Il told you so" atti-
tude on the report. The oil scan
dals will continue to provide cam
paign arguments as the public is
interested in the final outcome of
the sordid affair.
An effort will be made during
the campaign period to deter
mine the attitude Of the public
toward tax reduction. In sign
ing the Tax bill last week the
President indicated that he would
ask the Congress at the December
session to bring out a new
revenue bill in keeping with the
original Mellon plan. There is a
general agreement that the rs
per cent reduction feature must
be retained but the President is
not satisfied with the present
law. Further revision of taxes
depends upon the sentiment ex-
pressed to the various Congress
men in their home districts dur
ing the next few months. An inn
portant legislative measure
which went over to another ses-
sion is the so-called railroad labor
disputes bill. Spokesman for or
gained labor have announced
that they viii make it a campaign

support of the beneficiaries or
the class Of voters effected by
these bills. On the other hand,
the claim is advanced that Con-
gress passed these measures be-
cause it was regarded as legisla-
tion highly essential to the pub
lie welfare. 1t is. at best, an
open question upon which the
American voters will render
their decision as to the zeal of
the present office holders.
The abandonment Of various
plans for agricultural relief indi-
Gates that this subject will be an
important campaign issue. The
major proposal for legislation of
this character is known as the
McNary-Haugen bill which was
subsequently rejected by the
House. The time was all too
short for an agreement on the
substitute measure which would
meet with the approval of the
spokesman for the agricultural
interests and the Administration.
Several bills intended to solve
the difficulty were introduced
during the last week Of Congress
but consideration was denied
these proposals with the aban-
donment of a plan for general re-
lief. Not even the influence of
Senator LaFollette and his band
of so-called insurgents" could
stay the fate of farm measures.
The Congress voted overwhelm-
ingly to adjourn preferring to
explain in their home districts
rather than endure a long and
tedious session during the sum-
mer months in Washington. Ac-
cording to those well informed
on agricultural subjects the fu-
ture of Congressman and Sena-
tors seeking reelection will
hinge largely upon climatic and
marketing conditions. The state
ment is made that the farmers
win know the condition of their
crops by November and their
opinion of legislators will be
governed accordingly. Voting is
matter of sentiment. II has
been customary to regard the
farm vote as normally Republican
but the Democrats say that 1924
is not a normal year politically
and that the campaign will not
be a cut and dried" affair.
A controversy as to who must
share the credit and blame for
the transactions of Congress is
already developing to an interest
ing point. The Democratic Ma
tional committee in its free edi-
torial service to newspapers
claims that the bills which have
attracted most attention are
those which the President has
urged Congress to defeat, that is,
the Pension bill, the Bonus bill,
and the immigration bill. The
first two he vetoed. Likewise
they claim that the Tax bill as
it was passed was not Republi-
can but a Democratic measure in
its essentials" The Republican
campaign book claims the Demo
cratic party overreached itself in
crediting this legislation to their
organization. They in turn &C
cused the Democrats of obstruct-
ing essential legislative measures
for partisan gain. 1t appears
that the organization Republi-
cans are bitter against the tao
