The World and All
TRADITIONS


do not know what Mobile may have to say when
he gets around to saying it, and Of course ! do not
know what circumstances and emotions may do TO
starving men in Arctic wastes.
But this / do know: No American or British COM
msnder Of a ship that flies or floats would for q mo-
ment consent to being rescued first. Further, no
American or British commander would in any circum-
stance consent to being rescued before the last man
under his command had been taken care Of.
Traditions differ among the races Of men. | am
speaking now Of one Of the Oldest Of the traditions Of
the sea, which has been carried into the air. The
American tradition derives from the British in naval
and maritime matters. And the American captain who
would come flying home to safety and comfort while
his men, or even one of them, remained stranded and
starving, would be forever disgraced. Well, it's sim
ply impossible. It couldn't happen.
Do you remember when the Titanic went down after
striking an iceberg? The captain, Of course, went
down with his ship. He could have saved himself. but
he saved as many Of his passengers as possible, in
stead. That wasn't mock-heroics. It was his pIain
duty, and Of course he did II.
There was a man by the name of Bruce Ismay, If I
remember correctly, on the Titanic, and he was saved.
Il turned out that he was one of the owners of the
ship, or an officer Of the company that owned it. |
cannot exactly place his identity. But / know that
the orld resounded with denuneiation OF this man
Nho dared TO let himself be saved while hundreds Of
passengers went to death on a ship that was partly his
property or his responsibility. I don't know what
ever happened to Bruce Ismay. but he had better have
gone down with the ship than 20 have lived TO hear the
things that were said about him by an outraged world.
Mobile may have much Of interest to say, when his
story Is ready to tell. But nothing can change the
fact that no American or British commander would
have permitted anyone to rescue him first.

Campaign Money

Both the republican and democratic national COM
mittees will this year have the largest war chests"
ever collected for a national campaign, and several
million dollars will be expended by the two major
parties in the effort 70 elect their respective nation.l
tickets. The total permitted under tie law is sle,O00,-
600, and while the collections will fall far short Of that
amount, they are expected to greatly exceed those of
any previous campaign.
The fact that large sums will be collected and dis
bursed should not be taken as an indication that the
campaign will degenerate into one Of vote buying"
Both parties have place men Of unquestioned integrity
at the head of their respective financial departments,
and the money will be expended in a legal manner and
for purpose that will give no offense to the most SEN
sitive electors.
The effect Of large war chests" is to increas. the
vote, and q heavy vote should be the objective Of ev-
cry individual who believes in representative govern
ment. II Is interesting 70 note that while large cam.
paign expenditures have this effect, the vote does not
always follow the largest "war chest" American no
litieal history reveals that victory has often perched
upon the banner Of the party that was poorly financed.
The major part OF the money collected by political
parties for campaign purposes is spent on workers"
men and women who devote their time to interesting
voters in the issues and getting them to the polls.
Statistics reveal that approximately 50 per cent az
the American voters go to the polls in the national
elections, and it is the object Of both major parties 70

The two most important questions at both national
conventions this year were farm relief and prohibi-
tion. As a class, farmers also are prohibitionists.
Reduced to a sentence, the republican farm plank
declares agriculture must be placed on equality with
other business and that the American protective sys-
tenn must be made as effective for agriculture as IL
is for manufacturing.
That is putting IL straight and strong. The farm
plank adopted by the Houston convention speaks in no
more convincing language.
The outlook for agriculture's future as an industry
waws never so hopeful as now, for it has never before
been so fully recognized as a national interest entitled
to national attention. There is no perfunctory sound
this year to the farm planks CT either party.
The long fight for farm relief virtually is won.

Other Papers
Boiling


(Houston Post-Dispatch).
Let no one conclude that party boiling this year
is to be confined to the south. II there are southern
democrats dissatisfied with the party's nominee be-
cause of his stand on the prohibition question. there
are republicans in the middle west who are rs much
dissatisfied with the republican nominee because OF
his stand on the farm relief question, also upon mis-
stand. or rather, his failure to take a definite stand,
on the dry issue. And even in the prohibition party,
there is q boiling element, John B. Hammond, for many
years a national committeeman and leader OF the pro-
hibition party in Iowa, being one Of the group to de-
sert that party because Of what they term the leaning
Of the majority OF its leaders toward Herbert Hoover.
Where a party loses some Of its members because OF
its attitude toward some issue, IL gains members for
that reason. II is apparent that there is to be q con-
siderable shifting Of voters from one party to another
this year. Party lines are being held in lighter re-
gard than perhaps ever before. But, il IL not so sur
prising. The trend toward independence among voters
has been noticeable for n number of years. The char
acter OF the issues this year-being Of the sort that
most voters have strong convictions on. one way or
the ~other-merely aeeentuates the trend, and makes it
more visible.
