The vovernor i not a political innocent who would
,ro,oss Mr.. Rsskob in the belief that these ouaAfica-
,;or. would be attacked less bitterly in his campaign
n.,.ea than in himself. But it is part of the simple
d;rectness of the man whose success is predieated
: !, that ouaiity that he would brush aside the con-
s;derstion OF that fact to select a man whom he likes
and trusts and in whose ability he has confidence.
In the light of the natural affection Of "big BUSH
ness, for the republican party, there is sound iudg-
ment in associating the democratic party with the
forces Of commerce and enterprise. Because the pos
s;b;litv OF success depends very largely upon the abili-
tv Of Governor Smith to win to the democratic
column some of the customarily republican eastern
states, there is good sense in appealing to them with
= man OF the eastern executive type rather than a
stranger from another section who is known inly for
political activity. But these considerations could have
been taken care of with equal force without antagoniz-
ing further those elements that attack the governor
himself because he is a wet Catholic Of foreign extrsc-
ton. The sole point upon which Governor Smith Of
tends this faction and upon which Mr.. Raskob may not
also be assailed is that the latter is not a fire-warnsr
in the Tammany wigwam, and whatever virtue ATTACHES
to him therefor is overbalanced by the fact that he
was not born and raised in democracy, is charged with
being a republican, and is admittedly independent.
How times have changed since the days Of Matthew
Quay and Mark Hannal National politics is no longer
an intricate game Of star chamber finesse played by
master politicians upon invisible wires. It has become
a matter Of such simple directness that the republican
party intrusts its fortunes to a surgeon with some
cabinet experience and the democratic nominee selects
a personal friend upon the ground that he has known
executive ability. ..

The World and All

Get ready for the biggest football season in history.
More people will pay more money to see more games
this fall and winter than ever before.
Football will emerge from this seasons ~scrimmage
the biggest single factor in American education. Long
ago it passed Latin, elbowed Greek off the campus
entirely, and pushed Shakespeare and English compo-
sition back among the boxers and wrestlers.
At the hour Of writing this the experts are report
ing that football has outgeneraled and outmaneuvered
its only remaining rivals, building and ~ndowment. II
has effected a merger with building and will pres
emily adopt endowment as an orphan ~god-child.
At the University Of Minnesota the profits of foot
ball have built all the arenas and grounds and fields
that can be used, and finally completed and p~rofitably
filled one Of the largest buildings in the world, known
as the field house. / believe Wisconsin and Michigan
already had these gigantic field houses, but Minnesota
outdid the others in the items Of size and expense. In
the field houses football may be played all winter. It
only remains to put in cooling systems that will make
it possible to play football all summer. and then we'll
have continuous college.
Out Of the profits Of football, thus hipnodromed and
%glorified, Minnesota enthusiasts expect to erect collie
giate buildings for various needy departments Of the
university. When football really grows up it will build
all the buildings and pay all the salaries on the cam
pus, l suppose. And how education will flower, under
this new and powerful patronl
In the bright days just ahead, even the most schol-
arly Of the students in the most obscure seminars of
the universities will go forth to yell encouragement to
football.

Since the World war American business has adj
vanced a long way toward a better understanding Of
the new position which the United States occupies in
world commerce.
Indeed, the leaders Of industry and finance in this
country, and the investment community generally, have
had a considerable share in the efforts made to restore
the European economic structure; have been able to
aid in the plans of the statesmen and business men OF
Europe to stabilize currencies and to set moving again
among nations that extensive interchange Of goods and
services whose volume has a distinct effect upon a
standard Of living Of the peoples Of the world. In al
this work the International Chamber has filled a not
unimportant role.
AT this moment IL may not be inappropriate for
business men in both America and Europe TO give
greater thought even than in the past to the view that
their philosophy, their process, their understandings
in international operations, can be a distinct factor IN
the success Of that campaign now being waged by The
leading statesmen Of Europe and America for the e-
stablihment Of conditions TO prevent a recurrence Of
war.
/ refuse 10 believe that men Of affairs on either
side Of the water are so deeply engaged in operations
for their own account as to lack conception Of the i'm
portanee which their own relationships and policies
bear to the question Of world peace.
On the contrary, through the active and understand
ing part which they have played in postwar recon
struction, they have clearly shown their conviction that
IL in coming generations this earth is to Ne made a
more stable place TO live in, the coming Of such an era
will depend almost entirely upon the conscious coop
Grafton Of men throughout the world.

The Cotton Council

The movement inaugurated by the South-wide Cot
ton Council, organized at New Orleans on July z. TO
promote orderly marketing Of the 1928 cotton crop,
should have the unanimous support Of cotton growers
ton industry. Il is unfortunate that the plan offered
and all interests in any way connected with the cot
by the Cotton Council, which is probably the most log
ical ever presented the cotton interests, follows a long
series Of unfeasible programs which have tended to
create lack Of interest in organization for the purpose
of protecting the interests Of the producers.
The main detectives OF the new organization are
coordination Of all agencies and societies functioning
with the objective Of stsbilizing the cotton price; -
bring into accord the cotton states in the way Of uni
form state and national legislation; 70 conduct a study
Of the cotton situation from the standpoint OF supply
and demand, and TO disseminate information that Will
enable the farmers to produce at a profit, encourage
economic production on restricted acreage ana IN
crease the food and feed supply.
Statistics presented at the meeting Of the council
indicated that less than 8 per cent Of the cotton is be-
ing marketed through cooperative agencies, the re-
mainder. or at least the major part Of II, being dumped
on the market without view TO orderly marketing. Il
was also pointed cut that dissemination Of information
relative TO world supply and demand is largely con-
fined 70 the buyers and that very few Of the growers
: SUPPLIED with information vital to their interestst.
Several members of the council proposed the adoption
of a price fixing policy with the object Of assuring de-
livery in accord with world demands.
One Of the best features Of the plan admitted BY
the council is the inclusion Of bankers and other bust
ness men interested in the industry in the movement.
Heretofore the plans submitted have generally been
confined to the growers, and the result has been lack
Of stability that has resulted in failure to function ef-
ficiertly. Experience has proved that no industry can
be organized successfully unless such organization in
clrdes every interest connected with that industry. and
the rule applies to agriculture as well as m~anufac-
turing.
whether the south-wide Council can achieve its
ohiec.iye remains TO be ascertained. Many Of the cot
TON growers and business leaders connected with the
industry will probably regard it as merely another
movement based upon theories and without practical
policies. Considerable effort will be required to arouse
the interest the movement deserves, and If that inter
o. can be aroused the organization can be made an
important factor in solving the problem of the South.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
The New Tariff View

The tariff plank in the democratic platform is a
distinct departure from the planks Of former years.
For the first time in half a century the party has failed
to denounce the protective theory and even goes so far
as to assert that the protective idea should be extend
ed in its application It does refer to "extortionate
tariff rates" but only in connection with the unequal
distribution Of the benefits Of the tariff.
No democratic co gresham or senator will be OBJ
ligated by platform pledge to oppose reasonable tariff
protection when the next tariff bill is before congress,
which will doubtless be next year. But every demo-
cratic representative will be bound by the pledge to
equalize tariff benefits upon the democratic theory that
every industry, agriculture as we'll as manufacture, is
entitled TO the same degree Of protection. Tariff rates
on many manufactured articles are extortionste, and
should be reduced. Equalization Of the rates will bring
forth loud protests from many industries now receiv-
ing extortionate profits, but it will bring no protest
from agriculture which is virtually without protection
and at the mercy of cheap labor in foreign countries.
The Houston platform declared for a competitive
tariff and asserts that the rates OF duty shall be such
as will equalize differences in cost Of production and
safeguard the wage Of the American laborer." These
are the same standards the republicans profess to use
in erecting their protective tariff walls, but they have
exceeded the reasonable requirements Of many indus
iris and failed to protect others, the tariff showing
what might be termed favoritism for certain industries.
Eastern industrialists may be relied upon to oppose
the democratic plan of tariff equalization upon the
basis that it will increase living costs and necessitate
a wage increase in some of the industries. They over
look the fact that the protection granted them has in
creased living costs to a far greater extent than would
reasonable protection of agriculture and that they and
not agriculture are the sole beneficiaries Of the I'M
equal tariff system.
II is the consensus Of economists that the present
business depression, which is general over the United
States, is largely due 10 failure Of our present tariff
to assure equitable distribution Of prosperity. They
point out that all industries are inter-depeudant, and
that IL any one industry fails to prosner all industries
feel the effects. Agriculture has for the past decade
been the least prosperous of the major industries, and
the only way in which this condition can be rectified
is through equalization of the tariff. granting to agri-
culture the same measure of protection other indus
tries enjoy.

all gone, and il was only about eleven
o'clock.
When the door closed behind them
Janet sank to the divan and buried
her flushed face in her hands. Bal
lard crossed and sat down beside her.
He lifted her head and felt that il
was hot and feverish. Then he got
up, opened his case and. going into
the kitchen, mixed some medicine.
With a little sob she took il and
drained the glass.
He took her in his arms and sat
in the big chair. IL seemed the nat
ural thing TO do. She seemed like a
little girl TO him. IL did not enter
his mind that he was making love to
her. There were no words spoken
for several minutes. Slowly Janet
raised her head and looked into his
face. Her voice choked:
"Ill bet you think I'm q little
beast"
Ballard held her close TO him and
shook his head.
"No, little Princess. ! think you
are a very silly child-and / hate to
see you taking up with a crowd like
that. You are just getting off on
the wrong slipper. Where did you
meet that gang?"
She told him Of Flavja and the
theater, and how kind they had been
to her.
Then she tried to stand up and
swayed. Her head fell over on his
shoulder and her voice was low and
shamed.
"Oh, this is the first time I have
ever been this way. / have only
drank twice before"
Ballard held her up and placed his
arm around her.
"0f course, / know you haven't
been making q practice of this. 9th
erwise, | wouldn't be here with YOU
Suddenly Janet began TO cry. He
made no attempt TO sto pher, but
sat down in the chair again and held
her. When she had quieted, his
voice was kind.
Now we'll have to get that pretty
dress off so you won't sleep in il
and spoil it, Princess. Then we'll
put you to bed and you'll be all
right"
She shot him . wild, scared look,
and tried to stand up. He shook his
head and smiled.
Now don't misunderstood me. ]
wouldn't harm yoI for. the world.
But I'm a doctor. and you are a
pretty sick little girl. I'm going TO
put you TO bed"
Janet knew he would put her to
bed whether she struggled against
IL or not. She was embarrassed
and heartsick at the idea. But she
knew Ballard Riley. He turned his
back as she slipped the gown over
her body. Then he sat her in the
big chair while he opened her bed
and made it up. Taking her in his
arms, he carried her to it and COW
cred her over like q baby.
There were tears in her eyes, and
her face was flushed from the
bushes that came and went. II he
had not felt so sorry for her, ne
would have been amused. She did
