Bad Advertising for Indiana

Once more Indiana gets bad advertising
This time it is the direct and logical result of
the insincere and most ill-advised candidacy of
Senator James E. Watson for the Republican
nomination for the presidency.
Watson went into the race, not with the
hope of winning. This was admitted by his
official organs who announced that Watson
was not really a candidate, but would throw
Indiana" at the right time to someone else
The tactics of his primary fight were at least
questionable and his margin of victory slight.
AS might be expected several things have
happened this week. here and at Kansas City,
to give Indiana cause for shame
The Watson candidacy made it convenient
for many of his old pals to call upon Clyde
Walb at Leavenworth prison. The Governor
headed the parade, according to press reports.
And there was revival Immediately of
that old and sinister quip, From Indiana, are
you Democrat or on parole?'
The week also found Ralph Updike, now
Congressman, parading around the national
convention with the brazen suggestion that he
was being urged" to run for Vice President.
That would have been logical had Watson
been nominated. But it only served also to
recall the Stephenson black boxes and the
written contract which Updike signed with
Stephenson for patronage.
The conviction of Earl Klinck for procur-
ing forged affidavit with which to send the
editor of this newspaper and Tom Adams to
Federal prison on framed charge, revealed
the nature Of the machine which still controls
the Republican party in this State.
Men do not forge for fun. The document,
according to the unqualified statement of Pros
ecutor Remy was carried to the Federal off
Gals by George V. Coffin
Fortunately, this will probably be the last
appearance upon the national stage of politics
of the forces and influences which so badly adj
vertise this State
-Four years from now it may be confidently
predicted that real Republicans will take COM
mand of their party and that those who be-
tray and besmirch it will be in the oblivion
they merit.

A Good Summer, Mrs. Coolidge

Tired and i'll, Mrs. Calvin Coolidge left Washing
ton last night on her last summer vacation as the
First Lady Of the Land.
Three months in Wisconsin and the six months
more in Washington, and Mrs Coolidge will have
successfully through six years in one of the
most mercilessly public and difficult positions
woman could be called on to fill.
She has had illness and death in the White House.
She has had more than the usual burden of social
duty because her husband finds such duties incom-
patible to his temperament During the last winter
her own health has been impaired and she has had
hundreds of miles away.
It has been said that Mrs Coolidges smile is worth
a million dollars to the Republican party. In any
case. her fame as an ideal American gentewoman
has spread across the continent and brought her per-
sonaty close to the millions who see Washing
ton or a Presidents wife.
To the average citizen, therefore, Mrs. Coolidge is
not the wife of President aloof in an exalted posi-
ton She is real woman much admired in her own
right.
Her departure for the West is made in man
ner that must have brought her acute discomfort
Any wife will appreciate how hard Mrs, Coolidge must
have tried to prevent the upsetng of her husbands
schedule and the chagrin she must have felt when
her illness proved too much for her
She is going to far and peaceful section of the
country where quiet summer days should restore her
health and strength.
Here's to a good summer, Mrs. Coolidge When
YOU return to Washington in September, may your
million dollar smile return with you-not for the ben
eft Of the Republican party indeed, but evidence
to your friends of your own well-being.

Dawes, A Handicap for Hoover

certain group tried to defeat Hoover and grab
the Republican presidential nomination for Dawes by
draft-Coolidge and other forms of trickery.
This plan of "the gang to put over Dawes for
President at Kansas City, they slipped in Harding
at the Chicago convention apparently has failed And
now they are trying to hang Dawes to Hoover.
This newspaper opposed the disguised presidential
candidacy of Dawes For the same reasons it opposes
him for the vice presidency:
Because he is a representative of predatory inter-
ests.
Because he is too close to the oil muck.
Because he was implicated in the Lorimer bank
scandal
Because he is an enemy of organized labor.
Because of his minute men" record on civil
liberties.
Because that which Dawes represents has no place
beside Hoover.
The only arguments advanced for Dawes as Vice
President candidate based on alleged political
expediency. And those are fallacious.
1t is said that his similar nomination four years
ago did not defeat the Republican party.
But 1928 is not 1924 1t was one thing to run
roughshod over the PROSTATE body of a Democratic
suicide 1t is another thing this year Chain Hoover
to Dawes and his opponent has been presented with
q mighty weapon.

The Spontaneous Smith

Out of the mass Of long and heavy political
statements comes fresh and welcome relief.
Its author is none other than Al Smith.
"Well, he ought not to be hard to beat, 3"
said Al, when shown newspapers announcing
Herbert Hoover as the probable presidential
nominee.
Most politicians in Smith S place, faced
with the task of commenting on the probable
rival in contest so momentous, would have
knitted their brows and retired to solitude, to
come forth hours later with carefully carved
and ponderous document.
But AL just says the natural the human
thing. And says it in ten words
Regardless of whether the future proves
Al to be right or wrong on the question of
whether Hoover is hard to beat, that spon-
taneity, that human quality of his, is Smith s
great asset as a campaigner.

The Mexican Lindbergh

Bringing message of friendship from the people
of Mexico to the people of the United States Capt
Emilio Carranza, Mexican ace, zoomed into our
national capital Tuesday afternoon.
BEST regards from the Mexican press and people
to the press and people of the United States the
wording of the message Captain Carranza brought
with him.
He can rest assured, as the welcoming crowd of
officials and citizens must have told him when he
landed-that this sentiment is reciprocated fully on
our side Of the frontier.
And it may grow, this sentiment until the sister
Republics bordering the Rio Grande reach the point
where further misunderstanding will be out of the
question. For those statesmen and diplomats are
blind who can not see that amty makes for prosper
ity in both countries.
Bravo, captain! May your wings never weaken!
Yours was splendid feat, splendidly performed, in
a splendid service.

The "Emhattled" Farmer

There was mob scene at Kansas City
Wednesday. According to the press dispatches
great crowd of indignant and last ditch
farmers" stormed Tie COW 9ntion and were
forcibly held back by the police.
They were there to impress the convention
with their undying hatred of Hoover.
Fortunately the names of the leaders of this
farm" protest were given.
The names show that the mob scene was an
other fake trick of Watson.
Three of the leaders whose names were
given were O. Q. Mays, j. j. Maroney and
Farris Jay.
Who are these men and where do they
farm?
The three are prohibition agents supposed
to be working Maroney was the one man per-
mitted to see Stephenson after Tom Adams
had fired his first challenge. He is the polit-
ical tool of Watson and Robinson. He is quite
valuable He knows the bootleggers.
These were the leaders of the farmers"
who were sent to break down the doors and
crash the gates.
Remember the names of these farmers =
Maroney and Mays and Jay.

ton of AS you gaze up at its bright shining
stars you will easily understand why this
Many names were coined for the constellation. In
Europe today is frequently referred to the pillow
OF the wagon. common name for it in England is
Charles Vain" This is thought originally to have
been "Churls VAIN" meaning peasants cart In
time, it is thought it became changed to Charles
VAIN"
The Romans imagined that the seven stars of the
Great Dpper represented seven blowing oxen and so
they called the constellation the "Septentriones."
But like the English of today the early Greeks saw
the figure of wagon in the constellation and they
called 1t "Hamaxa," which means "the wagon"
The Eskimos imagined that the stars Of the dpper
formed the outline Of reindeer.
The ArabianS thought of the four stars which make
the bowl of the dipper forming bier and they
called the constellation Mash" which means bier.
Mention of the constellation is made twice in the
Bible in the Book of Job. The Hebrew is
"Ayish," evidently related to the Arabic.
The early Christians called the four stars of the
bowl Of the dpper the Bier of Lazarus" The three
stars forming the handle thought by them to
represent Mary, Martha and Mary Magdalene.

Problem Real

One can admit that the farm
demonstration was staged, that II
has proved a fzzle and that it was
not the basis of the anti-Hoover
coalition, and still realize not only
that the Republican party has
nroblem on its hands, but that quite
regardless Of political expectancy.
the farmers are entitled to assist
ance which they thus far have not
received.
This is not the first time that the
difficulties of their situation have
come to the front in a Republican
campaign. or that shrewd poll
ticians have not tried to capitalize
their sentiment.
For sixty years we have had a
we'll defined asrarian movement IL
the United States and we have had
it because OF a deep conviction or
the part of farmers that they were
not getting a square deal.
The movement began with the or
ganization of the National Grange;
found expression in the Greenback
and Populist parties and made il
self felt in such political diversions
as the nomination Of Horace
Greeley, the free silver craze and
the non-partisan league.
The fact that it has taken varied
and fantastic shapes does not mean
that it is groundless or lacks a just
cause. Nor is it without achieve
ments to it's credit. If few people
remember the anti-monopolist flu
rore. there is the strength of rail-
road regulation to proclaim that
of Kelley, Taylor, Ramsey and Don
it was not meaningless. The names
nelly have ceased to figure in the
headlines and their work is we'll
nigh forgotten, but there is more
than one statute on our books &c
their credit.
The true character of the
agrarian movement is revealed, not
by its failures and discarded doc
trines, but by the fact that it still
survives and presents problems still
to be solved.

Political BaIIy-Hoo

There is ground for suspecting
that the farm demonstration was
staged by those opposed to Hoover's
nomination. In the first place, 1t
looked like the most practical way
to start trouble. and in the second,
it squared with their propaganda
Ever since this campaign began
Hoover's opponents have been
claiming that they were not against
him because of any personal preju-
dices, but because his unpopularity
with the farmers made him too
weak a risk.
This was brought out clearly in
the roll call by which the conven-
ton refused to adopt the minority
report of the credentials commit
Tee and which forced Hoover's op-
ponents to stand up and be count
ed. On that roll call they mustered
total of 1851 votes.
Fifty-nine of those votes were
from New York, seventeen from
Connecticut, nine from Delaware
and sixteen from West Virginia. i
requires an elastic imagination TO
believe that they sprang from love
of the McNary- Haugen bill

A N opening bid by third or fourth
"A hand may be made only when
greater strength is held than is re-
quired for an initial bid (by first or
second hand). The reason is appar-
ent when you consider the fact that
the first or second hand by passing
announces that the requisite
strength for an initial bid is miss
ing. Additional strength, therefore,
must be held by third and fourth
hands, respectively, to compensate
for the obviously missing strength
in partners hand.
Third hand to make an open
ing suit bid should hold at least
2l5 quick tricks, and to make "a no
trump bid should hold at least 2la
to three quick tricks with three suits
stopped.
Fourth hand to make an opening
suit bid should hold at least three
quick tricks, and to bid no trump,
312, with three suits stopped.
The quick trick table of opening
bids by third and fourth hands as
compared with first and second
hands is as follows:
First hand, quick tricks in suit;
2 in no trump.
Second hand, if first hand passed,
2 quick tricks in suit; 2 in no trump.
Third hand, if first and second
hand passed, 215 quick tricks in
suit; 21a to in no trump.
Fourth hand, if first, second and
third hand passed, quick tricks in
suit; 81 in no trump.
From this it is obvious that a
player holding four quick tricks
should bid, no matter what the
players position may be.
Beginners very often open fourth
hands on weaker holdings than
those set forth in the above table.
Time and experience teach them
the folly of this policy. Some ex-
perienced players, however, believe
that three quick tricks are sufficient
to make an opening no trump bid
fourth hand.
The beginner will find it safer
not to bid fourth hand no trump
unless the hand holds more than
three quick tricks. Experience
teaches that opening on only three
quick tricks or less in fourth posi-
ton seldom results in game. To
open fourth hand, the player should
be reasonably satisfied that with
average assistance from partner
game can be made.

in fishing and in Harvesting his
dog teams, all come from the in
ner bark of the tree. He makes his
canoes from the western red cedar
and cuts the biggest specimen he
can find for the totem pole that he
carves into his family tree.
Nearly nine-tenths of all the
shingles manufactured in the United
States are western red cedar.
Probably two-thirds of the cut of
western red cedar goes into shingles,
the remainder being used for lum-
Der, poles, posts, piling and other
uses where durability is important.
Western red cedar poles, on account
of their form and size, are shipped
to nearly all parts of the United
States.
Incense cedar, which gets it's
name from its remarkably aromatic
quality, grows in California and
southern oregon. The cut is COM
paratively small and is practically
all used locally except some high
grade lumber which is shipped to
wood-using factories and made into
finish, doors and pencil Stats.
Port Oxford cedar, noted for its
beauty and size, grows only in a
narrow belt bordering the coast of
southern oregon and northern Cali
fornia. The wood is in demand
for sash and door construction and
boat building.

feathers, such as those of the par
rot, the canary, the turkey, or the
guinea hen in case they are brought
into contact with these birds.
1t is recommended that persons
who are sensitive to feathers keep
away from yards, butcher shops, or
houses were fowls are kept, and
that they use pillows stuffed with
other substances, such as the Java
kapok, in order to avoid their symp-
toms.
This substance is a vegetable fiber
taken from a tree found on the

able in almost any large furniture

Needs Credit

While it is obvious that the farm
er can not be guaranteed good crops
in spite of bad weather and while
it is contrary to the principles Of
our Government that he should be
made the beneficiary of class iegis-
lation, it still is possible to under
stand that his interests have been
neglected and that there are sound,
practical ways of lettering his con-
dition
Most Of those who have given in
telligent thought to the subject con-
cede that industry has received
more attention than agriculture and
that the banking system has been
made to fill the needs and require
ments of commerce much more
adequately than those of the farmer.
We not only have a lop- sided
marketing system of farm products.
but one which can be manipulated
to an unWiSe and unnecessary ex-
tent, we also have a general credit
system of little use to the farmer.
The larger banking institutions of
this country constantly are lending
money to merchants and industries
at or even per cent, but the
farmer virtually is barred from such
easy rates of interest. Operating
on yearly turnover, he is obliged
to sign sixty or ninety day notes,
because they have been found suit

tween him and the great reservoirs
of wealth. which he should have as
good a right to tap as any other

small banks and middlemen who

These are conditions that could
be corrected without class legisla-
ton and without steering the Gov
eminent away from those principles
on which it was established.
