rage.
But where, then, was the weakness
in his armor that would make La Fol
lette and his great cause vulnerable =?
Where could the Republican-Demo-
cratic Party get the slogan that
would confound the Progressives and
confirm Republicans and Democrats =?
At last! At last they found a
spot in the armor of La Toilette and
the Progressive Party which could be
made to appear vulnerable to the
public eye. In the platform adopted
by the Progressives at their Cleveland
convention was the vulnerable spot
Their own platforms are just so
many words. They mean nothing,
Their speakers are not expected to
quote them, not even to read them.
They are inherited, oft-repeated,
meaningless. But the platform sub
mitted to the Progressive convention
by Senator La Toilette and unani-
mously adopted by it represents set

atOr shares with La Toilette the rep
utation of ability, integrity and fear
lessness, recognizes the evil, but
proposes a remedy differing from
that of La Toilette. Borah would in
crease the majority necessary for a
decision of unconstitutionality. La
Toilette prefers an amendment to the
Constitution which will give Congress
the power to annul, by two-thirds
majority, a decision of unconstitu-
tionality by the Supreme Court, and
thus make constitutional law previ-
ously declared unconstitutional.
Both Borah and La Toilette are
perfectly honest in their desire to
remedy a genuine weakness in our ju-
dicial system. Neither of them has
the faintest desire to destroy the Su-
preme Court. They desire nothing so
much as to increase the respect which
the Supreme Court enjoys with the
American people. But they do not
overlook the Weaknesses inherent in
all human beings, Supreme Court
justices not excluded. They remem-
ber how vigorous was Senate opposi-

No One Can Control
Trade Union Vote

New York-"No man with an ounce
of brains believes any officer of the
American Federation of Labor can
deliver the votes of labor" said
Samuel Gompers, president of the A
f. of L., IN a newspaper interview.
We have never attempted to do
what our critics say of us-deliver
the labor vote. The only vote | con-
troll is my own. That will be cast for
La Toilette and Wheeler" Mr.. Comp
ers said.
1.-The claims of the old-party candi-
dates since their conventions are
wholly at variance with the declara-
tions of the two platforms. They
are made because people are aroused;
because organized labor has spoken,
these latter-day declarations have
been made.
"They are not binding on the
parties. AS now constituted, neither
party is responsive to the will of the
people"
President Gompers said no English
court would dare annual mandates of
the people, as have courts in the
United States.
after years of effort" he said,
we lLlaIiy prevailed upon congress
to enact laws to safeguard the well
fare and interests of the people. In
every instance in the last, Is years,
dspite our efforts, the courts have
annulled them. No English court
would dare take such an attitude to-
ward any law passed by parliament.
"lt is a strange situation that an
attempt is being made to place
stigma upon congress, as though the
members of that body were the
wrongdoers. AS matter of fact,
congress in the last year has been
more responsive to the public than
any congress in decade The defec-
tions of both parties have worked to
the benefit of the people,"

Last Cut Made in
AutOmabiIe Licenses

Columbus, O.-Absolutely the last
and final cut in prices Of automobile
license tags for the year was made
at midnight Tuesday. The cut is rs
per cent for cash customers, and only
this kind is considered, and comes in
the regular way as provided for by
the law which makes the cut Of rs
per cent every quarter.
Col Thad H. Brown, secretary of
state, who is in charge of the auto
license division doesn't expect any
great rush of applicants for he thinks
that the demand has been supplied
for the moment, but with new ma
chimes being purchased every day, and
the used car market picking up,
would not be surprising if 5000 more
tags were sold before the end of the
year. And if this proves true Ohio
will come mighty close to ranking
first in the number of automobiles
owned by its population. Already
more than 1,050,000 have been sold
and paid for. License tags for the
rest Of the year will be just one
fourth the original price, and will be
good until January 1, 1925.

Senator La Toilette and the Constitution

ton to the appointment by President
Wilson of justice whom the money
ed classes accused Of having Social
istic tendencies. The moneyed classes
thereby publicly declared their belief
that Supreme Court justices can be
prejudiced. Why shall not Socialists
believe that capitalistic justices can
be prejudiced against Socialism, il
capitalists may believe that Social
ist justice will be prejudiced against
Capitalism?
La Toilette and the Progressive
platform declare in express terms
that their remedy must be Submitted
to the people, for their considerate
judgment" (which is a highly consti-
tutional proceeding. Now, it must be
remembered that the most powerful
hackers of La Toilette, the American
Federation of Labor, have declared
that while they are backing La Fol
lete they do not thereby announce
their approval Of every plank of the
Progressive platform. Millions
other voters who intend to vote the
Progressive ticket will in due time
most assuredly vote against the
amendment proposed by the fiftl
plank of the Progressive platform.
will be long way from La F.
lette Victory in November to the
adoption of the proposed amendment
But the enemies Of La Toilette neec
a slogan to defeat him and his cause
The slogan selected is the cry
"La Toilette" will destroy the Su
pIeme Court" No thinking M
course, believes any such thing. But
slogans are not for thinking men.
They are like the famous bait en-
ployed by the great Baron Won Muen-
chhausen on his duck hunt. The first
duck swallowed the bait, which was
tied fast to a string; a second duck
quickly picked up and swallowed the
undigested bait; third followed suit;
fourth, a fifth, a sixth, one after
the other gobbled up the treacherous
piece of hard bacon and the string
with it, and finally the great hunter
had twenty ducks dangling on one
and the same string. In like manner
a campaign slogan is gobbled up and
passed on, duck after duck, undigest-
ed.
If for nothing else, the Progress
movement ought to be given all poss-
ible support for the one great pur-
pose of creating a genuine second
political party. Every thinking I
knows by this time that there is no
real difference between Democrats
and Republicans. No man with al.
claim to intelligence-unless he
politician-wishes any longer to be
considered ga born Democrat" or
born Republican" The American
voters ought to be divided into Pro-
gressives and Conservatives, not be-
cause "born" that way, but because
consciously and advisedly they wisl
either "to progress" and try some
thing new, or because they are salts
fled with the old and wish ''to con-
serve" it. The United States needs
nothing so much as that very align
ment. If we get it in time it may
preserve us from disastrous foreign
wars.
There is no danger that Progress
sive victory in November would de-
stroy Conservatism" in the United
States. On the contrary, such a vic
tory would Immediately create a
strong conservative" majority which
would easily control the affairs of
the country but would realize the po-
litical necessity Of needing the just
demands of a determined "Progres-
sive" minority.

IN which he took leading part by

The Republican-Democratic cam
paign machinery does not underesti-
mate the strength of La Toilette.
They realize the danger of La Fol
lette's leadership of the great mass
of voters who until now lacked the
leader whom all were willing to fol-
low. They tax their ingenuity to find
a weakness in the armor of the
daughty champion Of the underdog, a
weakness suggesting the mode Of at
tack.
The personality Of La Toilette does
not present the desired weakness.
Neither does his long political activ-
ity. Nor does his so-called war rec
ord. On the contrary, all these things
combine to make his appeal to the
masses so intense. In all these things
the people see in La Folette the cham
pion of truth and Of the underdog. Il

Everyone of the twelve planks is
directed against some serious evil in

Various methods and remedies have
been proposed for the purpose of re

DON'T FAIL TO REGISTER

At every election there is usually a
bunch of people who kick to high
heaven because they are not allowed
to vote, and about ninety-nine times
out of every hundred there is no one

usually is they neglected to be cor

things that brought them into the

CAN'T TELL HOW CAT MAY JUMP

Law and matters Herewith con-
nected are ineXplicable mysteries and
'conumdrums to a majority of the in
habitants of this mundane sphere,
and even members Of the legal pro-
fession admit that they themselves
sometimes run into a Snag.
Just the other day an old time
member of the bar said he could not
understand some of the actions of
the present grand jury which had just
disposed of so many cases. Among
those presented by the county prose-
cutor were several charging offenses
of various kinds against several per-
sons. Now there is nothing remark
able about this, but the funny part
of the matter is that these selfsame
parties which had already been jack
ed up before the municipal judge
where they confessed to the truth of
the charges and pleaded guilty, were
by the grand jury, after a supposed
thorough investigation, practically
called liars and discharged from
further consideration. This is just
one of the eccentricities Of the law
which sometimes battles the divining
power of the best legal sharps.

toshow that tapping of five and
six-inch trees by naval stores op-

neither the owner nor to the man
who chips them. Not only, it is stat
ed, does the yield of gum fail to pay
for the labor of securing it, but the
trees of this size, tapped for three
or four years, are left in such a
weakened condition or become so in
tested by worms and rot as re-
