A CONTRAST WHICH TEACHES
A LESSON

The difference in the attitude of
the leaders of the two great political
parties in the matter of official mall
feasance is clearly illustrated in re-
cent events in the United States
Senate.
When it was revealed that there
was wrongdoing in connection with
the oil leases, no Republican arose
to defend Senator Fall in his wrong
doing or to protest against the law
following its course in the matter.
When Senator Wheeler was indict-
ed for unlawfully taking employment
with crooked oil company to put
through its crooked claims in the
Land office at Washington, the
Democratic members of the Senate
came almost enmasse to his defense.
Knowing nothing of the facts in the
case-only that Senator Wheeler
was Democrat and therefore
should be defended, no matter what
he had done-the Democratic side
at once chorused "frame-up" and
attempted to explain, condone or
deny his wrongdoing.
Senators Robinson, Ashurst, Reed,
of Missouri; Walsh, of Montana, and
others not only did not criticize SEN
ator Wheeler for what he had done,
but grew violent in denunciation of
the Republican national committee
on the ground that it had taken some
hand in securing information in con-
nection with Senator Wheeler's al
legged illegal acts.
There you see the contrast-on
the one hand no disposition, what
ever to condone or defend wrong
on the other open defense of alleged
wrongdoing and an effort to fool the
people into the belief that no crime
had been committed, accompanied by
the most violent denunciation of all
who had borne any part in bringing
the alleged crime to light.
On the one hand we see these
Democratic senators encouraging
and condoning the use of disreput-
able witnesses to blacken character
and discredit individuals and organi
cations -delighting in it because of
the partisan bigotry and malicious
partnership which possesses them,
enjoying hugely the orgy of gossip,
the wholesale use of the spy system
through Mr.. Vanderlip and all the
other performances which have done
so much to degrade the Senate to a
new low level. But when one of
their own number is indicted by
regular legal processes and in legal
manner accused of a betrayal Of his
own trust, they lift their voices in
sympathy and defense.
Let these senators be. judged by
their course in this matter. 1t is
revelatory of their real attitude
toward official malfeasance. They
are against it when it can be sus-
pected in someone of opposite party
faith, and are willing to go to any
lengths to create suspicion even
when there is no ground for it. But
when a Democratic senator stands
legally accused of betraying his
trust, they all jump to his defense

LETTER

Oklahoma City, May 28-Referen-
dunn taken of $50 newspaper editors
representing 48 states at the conven-
ton of the National Editorial Asso-
citation showed that political parties
must adjust their respective plat
forms to meet rapidly changing con-
ditions of the public mind. The poll
disclosed the fact that the election
contest would be confined to Republic
can and Democratic parties, though
in some sections, particularly the
Middle West and Northwest, senti-
ment for third party has been built
upon doubts as to the sincerity of two
major parties to keep campaign
pledges. The editors were strong in
their belief that the future of the Re-
publican and Democratic parties de-
pend largely upon their selection of
men of unquestioned integrity for
the high offices in the gift Of the peo-
pie. Many editors were inclined to
discount the scandals incident to Con-
gressional Investigations principally
because of the failure to obtain pros
ecutions in courts, all expire ssed t.,a
hope that the Offenders will be
drurnn.d out of political life "for the
good Of the party"
These editors, represe ting daily
and weekly papers, were in general
agreement that the public should
cooperate with the government and
obtain greater respect for law en-
forcement.
With party chiefs now drafting
platforms for their organizations
the proposals Of these representative
editors are unusually significant. Edi-
tors from rural sections of both po-
litical faiths, emphasized that Con-
gress would be called to account at
the elections if adjournment was TAX
en- without enactment of farm relief
measures. The majority of editors
were opposed to subsidies though in
the West, some executions were made
in favor of farm relief. The attacks
on subsidies were based on the belief
that reduced government expendi-
lures would result in lower taxes.
One of the leading Republican
editors Of the Middle West declared
for Integrity, economy and efficiency
in the administration of public Of
flee in all branches of government
and for a reduction in the number
of officials commensurate with effic-
iency." A western democratic edi-
tor stated "the Democratic party can
make a hit in. 1924 if it will formu-
late a platform which is different
from the usual stereotyped planks
which are adopted to catch the voter,
and are not expected to be binding
after election. Just two broad
planks should be embodied in the
platform. One covering a plan of
action in our foreign relations and
one for our home affairs. A two
plan platform would certainly be an
inspiration"
Study of one political situation
in the Northwest by an editor who
has ben prominent in Republican cir
cles for years, brought the conclus-
ion that the party should declare for
agricultural relief through federal
aid to farmers co-operatives and a
higher protective tariff where need
ed. If Congress fails to pass the
McNary-Haugen bill the party plat
form should give definite assurance
to the farmers that a federal grain,
export corporation or some similar

agency will be provided to take care
of a crop surplus. Congress should
keep faith with the American farmers
before it adjourns. If it fails to do
this, a third party ticket would be ac-
ceptablein agricultural states. This
Republican editor said that poll of
hundreds of editors in thhe North
west showed sentiment in favor of
reduction in taxes and economy in
public expenditures. This viewpoint
was general with the delegates at the
National Editorial Association Con-
vention, Democrats joining with Re-
publicans in their demand for lower
taxes.
Many Republican editors favored
participation in the World Court
and abandonment of an isolation
policy but the majority refrained
from mentioning international af-
fairs in proposed plans.
Domestic issues were uppermost in
their minds. A high Republican Of
fetal of the standpat type, who is al
so newspaper editor, urged the
dismissal from the public service of
officials who have proven false to
their trust and "an honest enforce
ment of the prohibition laws" Pros
ecution of the war contract profteers,
enforcement of antitrust laws, re-
peal of the Esch-Cummins law and
legislation beneficial to the agricul-
tural interests.
Other Republican editors advo-
Gated the enactment of stringent
federal blue sky law, covering the
sale of real estate, stocks, bonds etc ;
the abolition of destructive costs of
the administration of receiverships
and bankruptcies. The survey
showed that editors, especially of
the Republican persuasion, wanted a
law, requiring candidates for public
office to subscribe to the declared
principles and policies of the politi-
cal parties under which they seek
office" Some editors were in favor
of a six-year Presidential term, and
urged the enactment of bill for this
purpose at the present Congress. The
question Of Presidential vetoes of
proposed legislation was another sub
ject discussed by the country editors.
A Republican editor, active in sew
eral newspaper associations in the
Middle West, said that the newspaper
publishers in his territory believe that
the veto of special appropriation bills
such as the pension and bonus meas
ures, will constitute a stronger plat
form than anything that can be writ
ten.
One or two editors, publishing
Democratic papers, stated that the
