A HINT IN IT

THE distress of the democratic party
i of Wisconsin, where it is doubtful
that il cast enough votes last Tuesday to
get place on the ticket, should be at
least hint to the democratic party of
the u. S.
Young La Toilette and Wilcox stood for
something distinct and opposite, and the
folks didn't care boot for mere party
name Result: Great doubt as to there
being a democratic party in Wisconsin,
legally speaking.
The democratic party must stand for
something democratic. 1t must abandon
the regular republican attitude toward
popular issues, in congress. 1t must quit
hari-kari over whisky and religion. 1t
must refuse to perform as a little yellow
dog running between the rear wheels of
progressive political thought and action.
1t must reject leaders whose democracy
consists, chiefly. in standing in with in
terests that exploit the folks.
Wisconsin isn't the only state whose
people cannot be lassooed and hog-tied by
the party name.

THE AIRCRAFT PROBE

TN line with this newspapers often re-
i poated suggestion, President Coolidge
has named a special board 10 probe into
air service requirements and incidentally
10 attack cognizance of Colonel MitchelS
crusade against the war and navy depart
mentS.
The personnel of the board makes for
optimism. Both sides of the controversy
appear pleased with it, particularly Col
onel Mitchell, whose charges served to
bring the issue to head.
Both the army and navy are repre-
scented. the one by retired general, the
other by retired admiral both with fine
records. Being on the retired list they
can say and do what they like. Both
houses of congress are likewise repre-
sented, the upper house by one senator,
the lower by two representatives. Air
men will be represented by man who
saw active flying service in the world war
and three civilian technician-engineer-ex-
perts will look after that end of the in
quiry. Finally there is a member of the
federal bench to give judicial tone to the
hearings.
By the appointment of the special
board, the army is relieved of attempting
TO prove the truth or falsity OF Colonel
Mitchells changes against il and the navy
Ia delicate job which would have placed
it in the position of being both judge and
jury in its own case.
Trial of Colonel Mitchell on insubordi-
nation. or similar charges, is not likely
until he had told all he knows TO the spe-
cial board before which he will appear rs
star witness. In any event the president
who, as commander-in-chief of the army
and navy, must pass upon the findings of
the Mitchell courtmartial-if any-will
not do so until he has the boards report
to guide him.
Thus does Mitchell seem assured of jus

Gates And perhaps more important still,
out of it all congress, at the beginning of
its next session, ought to be able to form
a pretty clear idea of the needs of our
national defense and take some long-post-
poned steps toward realizing them.

L. magnates are hearing something
rumbling in the air, which sounds like
competition that cannot be bought or
killed off, and are less inclined to sit back
and let "the public be damned as of
yore Indeed, trucks and the prospects

Boston & Maine railway has just started
store-door delivery, and some of the
biggest railway companies are expand
ing by installation of fine trucking

The increased expense is high and hold

porary. No institution serving the pub
lie ever lost much by pleasing the public.
Simply, increased outlay demands more

A NEEDED ENTERPRISE

ONE Of the greatest boons to the up
" building of industry in the Seattle re-
gion has been the formation of the Puget
Sound Securities Co.
Commentator is due those far-seeing
business men Of Seattle who have made it
possible by aiding in its organization, both
actively and financially
The eompany's plan of action is to help
finance new industries or old ones needing
more capital by purchasing entire issues
of their stocks and bonds and marketing
them. Thus it will perform for local in
dustries the same service that the big
bonding houses perform for railroads
government and national industrial con-
Germs.
II is the elimination of 20 years effort
to secure some means of aiding new in
dustries in Seattle. The first plan, 70
create a fund of 81 100000 by public sub
scription for making loans to new con-
Germs, was discarded as impractical.
Backed by more than 100 of Seattle's
biggest business men, the new company
is assured of success. Ii was incorpor-
ated only last February, and since that
time has been engaged in securing It's
$500, ZOO capital.
The concern has just launched its bust
ness operations with the underwriting of
$4,000 of the preferred stock of the
Malmo Nurseries Co.

SCENT CIGARS COME BACK

"JNTHAT the people of this country
wv really need is good 5-cent cigar"
the late Vice President Thomas r. Mar
shall once remarked.
Cigar manufacturers are now begin
ming to see the truth of the witticism, but
not until their business had been cut into
pretty considerably. They are going to
revive the 5-cent cigar.
Wartime profits induced them to look
upon the old reliable scent smoke as an
object of charity arther than of bust
ness the Wall Street Chronicle observes.
80 they discarded it."
Whereupon sales dropped from S,000,-
000,0G0 year to 6.750,000,000. That
was in 1921. Since then sales have never
mounted higher than the 7,000000.000
mark, whereas, in a period when every
thing else was booming, it should have
increased far beyond the pre-war peak.
Restoration of the 5-center cigar max
ers believe, will soon do the work. At
least they are in better position than
the beef trust When the packers de-
manded such high prices for meats. folks
began to eat more and more vegetables
and liked EN-.
Now, when the packers would like more
trade, these same folks, having discov-
cred vegetables, are inclined to keep on
eating them. The lost consumption prob
ably will never be regained.
Thus, says the Wall Street paper, "a
sound lesson in economics has been
learned" Rather it has been learned
again, as it must be every so often.
Which is that the goose that lays the
golden egg should always be treated with
respect if you expect her to keep on
laying.
