THE ELECTION

Election returns from the various states are
now in and tabuated and an analysis of the result
seems to bear out the statements made before the
election to the effect that the results in practi-
cally all of the states would be based on local rath-
Ell than national issues From a republican stand
point the outstanding losses in the senatorial
contests were in New York and Massachusetts,
both of which states ordinarily support the G. 0
P. in general. elections. But even in these two
comnonWealths the result was based largely on
issues which have but little bearing national
affairs although one of these issues that pertain
ing. to the enforcement of the prohibition amend
ment promises to become national political
problem in the not distant future.
Practically all of the other senatorial losses sus-
tanned by the republicans were in the So-callCd
border states, which are normally democratic eS-
pecialy in off years, and so far as the senatorial
contests. were concerned, there was a settling
down to normacy after the Harding landslide of
six years ago which gave the republicans num-
Der of unexpected senator's.
In the republican states of the middle west and
the northwest the republicans Wre generally sue
ceSsful. One noteworthy feature of these repub-
lican successes in the west is that they We're
gained in the main in agricultural regions.
We have heard great deal in the past few
months about the plight of the western farmer
and how he was going to take his spite out on the
national administration. This reported discon-
tent did not crystalline into democratic votes The
republican losses were sustained in the larger
ters of population where local issues were more
of a factor.
From democratic standpoint the outstanding
feature so far as 1928 is concerned at least, was
the Unexpectedly sweeping victory for Governor
Al Smith, a victory which carried democratic
senatorship along with it. Governor Smith is
now the outstanding democratic figure Of the
country. He is the big figure in the 1926 demo-
cratic victories and looms larger now as a presi-
Dental possibility than he did in 1924 Just what
his candidacy to the future of the demo-
cratic party, time alone tell. There is little
doubt that while it will be greeted enthusiastca-
ly in the east by the hosts of the democracy, it
will not be regarded as unmixed blessing in the
south and the west
Outside of this decisive Smith victory there is
little in the 1926 elections which seems to have a
bearing on the next presidential campaign. From
now on in the democratic party the political stu
dents will do well to look out for the Smith
Special.

REMARKS OF THE GANG


name of the candidates of his party.
The square at the top Of the ballot
is an encouragement of slothfulness
and concession to ignorance. 1t is
true that it is a time-saving device
for many voters, but the time so
saved is so infinitesimal that it is
hardly worth saving. AS for the voter
who is SO ignorant that he can vote a
straight ticket in no other way, he
should be barred from the polls alto
gether.
AS people become more discrimin-
ating and intelligent, there are fewer
and fewer straight ballots cast. We
hope to see such an advance in intel
ligence that sometime the ballot will
bear no party designation; that the
names of the candidates nominated by
the two or more parties may be prin-
ted in alphabetical order under the
office for which they are nominated
without any marks to distinguish
them. If voter has not had sense
enough in the course of campaign
to learn who the candidates of his
party for each office are, he has not
sense enough to vote at all.
But we do not suppose we are quite
ready yet for this reform, but we
trust that the coming legislature will
make plain declaration that when
there is no doubbt about the intent cf
the voter, his ballot shall be counted.

FROM CHORE BOY TO
LUMBER-JACK
(Selected)

Captain Robert Dollar, still active
head Of the steamship line that bears
his name, was born in Falkirk, Scot
land in 1874. Although he is many
times a millionaire, Captain Dollar
regularly takes a street car and ferry
from his home in San Rafael to his
office in San Francisco At eighty
he continues to be a confirmed globe
trotter.
Captain Dollar did not achieve his
present eminence through fortuitous
circumstance, or through outside help.
He did it all himself.
Were you born into genteel pow
erty? So was he. Has your educa-
tion been limited? So was his. Have
you built up a business only to see it
fail? So has Captain Dollar-and he
came back, too. So he has been over
the road to independence twice.
Captain Dollars life history at one
point or another touches every dis
couraging situation that ever occurs
in the average lifetime.
He was born in Falkirk, Scotland,
in 1914. His father was employed in
lumber-yard, and as a child Robert
Dollar lived upstairs over the lumber
office where his father worked.
Perhaps subconsciously, | thus got
an urge toward the lumber business"
Captain Dollar said to me.
"It is also probably significant that
my mothers folk had been for gen
erations men of the sea. But [ never
dreamed, as boy, that some day
should have part in the developing
of both the lumber and shipping in
dustries of another continent and on
the Pacific Ocean,"
Captain Dollars mother died when
he was still quite young, and the be-
reavement so affected his father that
the elder Dollar lost his job Drink
was the cause of the unemployment.
81 declared then l would never
touch liquor-and | never have" Cap
tain Dollar said.
Failure of his fathers job forced
young Robert to leave school and
seek employment.
His first job was feeding a lathe
for twelve hours every day in ma
chine shop. For this he was paid
half a crown (about sixty cents) a
week-the first money this future
captain of industry and commerce
ever earned.

MONGRELS IN CONGRESS

Just so long as the people make the mistake of
electing mongrel politicians to Congress, just so
long will they get mongrel legislation through the
"bloc" system, which is not only mighty expen-
sive but unsatisfactory to all concerned. The
republicans should be held responsible for repub-
lcan legislation and the democrats for democratic
legislation. When the democrats assist the mon
grels, the democrats should be held responsible
for that legislation. The fellow who furnishes
the matches and gasoline to the "bloc head" to
start the fire with, is not entirely innocent of
causing the confagration.
We prefer to be republican on general prin-
ciples, but after that we'd join the democrats
rather than be a party to the mongrel idea of
doing the dog in the manger" act. Honest men
differ as to the best policies but the mongrels
differ with all parties that will not pay them a
royalty for having buncoed the people in their re-
spective states or congressional districts into
electing them to misrepresent their constituents.
Nine out of ten of this mongrel bunch of politi-
cal mountebanks pay little or no taxes have no
real property and only hope to live on the credul-
ity of those who work for living
The antics of this bunch of political acrobats
costs the taxpayers of the United States millions
every year.

Morning Thoughts
("The Catclaw Tree" conducted
hit or miss by Ernest Douglas in the
follows on his lack Of effervescence.)
Ho hum! A growing rooster greets
the day;
The little brides twitter in the
trees;
The milkman rattles briskly on his
way;
hear the busy buzz of honey bees.
The suns bright face shines down
and says, "Arise!
Wake, sleepy world, and all the
creatures in il"
So must rub the slumber from my
eyes
In just a minute.
A turkey gobbler challenges the
dawn;
My neighbor's COW emits plain
tive moo;
His children romp in glee about the
lawn,
And dogs are barking, as they Of
ten do,
This is no time to lie at ease in bed,
For slothfulness leads but to vain
regret;
So must chase the dreams from out
of my head,
But not just yet.
A thousand tasks are waiting to be
done;
There are no precious golden hours
to spare.
Life's choice rewards no sluggard
ever won;
For him no high renown or lady
fair,
The world in homage shall bow down
to me;
From me it shall withhold no pre-
cious boon.
But just for once / think I'll sleep
till three
This afternoon.

THE MAN WITHOUT A BATHTUR
miami Bulletin) .

A man with rare and interesting
title died in New York City a day or
so ago. He was not The Homliest
Man in the World, nor The Richest
Man in the World, nor yet The Man
With the Reddest Hair in the World.
No, Maria Jose Mora died with the
distinctive title of The Man Who Had
No Bath for Twenty Years.
Mora became convinced some 20
years ago that bathing washed off
the spark Of life" SO he took no
chances with his "spark," and permit
ed no water to touch his epidermis.
We laugh at poor Mora, and yet
1t is not half a century since bath
ing was forbidden by law in some Vi
entities.
The first bathtub had been invent
ed eight years before they dared in
stall one in our White House!

A NEEDED REFORM IN
ELECTION LAWS
(Phoenix Republicanl

We hope the next legislature will
amend the election law so as to give
force to the plain intent of the voter.
That was, no doubt, the purpose of
our law, as it is of the laws of other
states, but the supreme court having
held that the direction of the law
with respect to marking the ballot
must be strictly complied with, that
ruling is now the law.
Our preference of an amendment
would be one which would make it inn
possible for such question as came
before the supreme court to arise
again. We would eliminate the
square at the top Of the ballot, so
that one who wants to vote a straight
ticket would have to do so by placing
cross in the small square after the

HOW IT FEELS TO BE WOUNDED
lBv Leonard II. Nasonl

The following applies to injuries
received in battle and not in private
shooting affairs No two men seem
to agree on the actual sensation they
received when they were struck by a
projeetile. Some said they felt sud-
den numbness, one man shot in the
head declared that everything turn
ed white, another one hit almost in
the same spot said he thought a
china plate had been broken on his
head. They all agreed however, that
they felt no pain for some time af-
ter the impact.
A number of men were sitting I'M
der a bridge at Cherry, suburb of
Chateau Thierry, one night, smoking
cigarets.
"Hey! look out with that butt!"
cried one suddenly. you burnt my
arm!" The man next him denied any
such action.

Bob Benchley tells a story about
a man who went to bakery and
asked the baker whether he could
bake him cake in the form of let
ter S, and the baker said, Eyes, but
it will take several days" VERY
WE'LL" replied the man. Four days
later he came in to see the cake, but
when the baker showed it to him he
said: "Oh, that is script S; forgot
to tell you that l wanted it in the
form of a block-letter S." So the
baker said, very well; but it will
take two days more" So the man
came back two days later, and the
baker showed him the cake, and it
was what the man wanted, and he
said, Eyes, that is exactly right" So
the baker said, "Where shall we send
the cake for you?" And the man
replied: ooh, never mind that; I'll eat
it right here"

BUDDY-THATs OUR FLAG

Armstce day, a legal holiday yesterday
brought back many and varied memories not
only to the boys who were on their way, but to
the fathers and mothers and others who were
compelled to stay at home Many father and
mother were proud behind their tears for the lost
one, and many buddy swallowed hard as he
thought of bunles left behind. While it was all
ostensiby done for the glory of ''The Flag"-otr
flag stands for all that is best in American citi-
zenship-it stands for Our Folks, Our Homes and
Our Land of Freedom.
When "our flag is called rag" and shown
lack of respect, all good Americans know that
it is an insult intended for "Our Folks, Our
Homes and Our Land"

DAYS OF THE CAMPAIGN LIAR PASSING

The Miami Silver Belt with its usual disregard
of facts says, "Gov Hunt carried Coconino coun-
ty in spite of the fact it is strongly republican
county" The registration shows Coconino coun-
ty to be democratic by 594 majority. This same
Van Dyke is the man whose memory completely
failed him when he was called to testify in the
senatorial investigation as to what he knew of
the 100000 sush fund" being sent into the
state to defeat Cameron. His paper ran glaring
head line that read, 100000 Slush Fund for
State" and seemed positive of it's statements.
He knew it was all a hoax as the investigation
clearly proved When pinned down by Senator
King on the witness stand he made pitiful
showing. He could not remember who told him
or anything about it.
The day when a politician can make any old
statement to gain votes and get away with it, is
rapidly passing.
