A Suggested Plank

If the political machine which prOspered and
grew under Stephenson and his successors sue
coed in again capturing the Republican ele-
plant, it should be honest enough to write one
plank into it's platform which represents it's
idea of morality.
A strong Endorsement of the statute of
limitations as the greatest safeguard of liberty
and pledge to broaden its benefcent in
duence, should be given.
The party machine made its record in the
Legislature when the whip was cracked and
the policy of suppression was made a party
measure.
The people remember that when a resolu-
ton was introduced asking for an investiga-
ton of political corruption, the leaders called
party caucus and suppressed it. They declared
there was no need of inquiry
Afterward the exposures were made which
legislative inquiry would have developed.
Those exposures resulted in the Indictment
of the Governor of this State and the boss of
this county.
The Governor escaped through the statute
of limitations, after his trial had proved to the
people of the State that he, when Secretary of
State, had offered bride Of $4,000 to Warren
7. McCray, then Governor, for the privilege Of
naming the prosecutor of this county
The evidence of guilt was conclusive as far
the pu lie is concerned. Every decent Re
publican newspaper in the State demanded that
he resign But he remains, to daily remind
the people that the only crime in his State is
the stupidity of getting caught before the stat
ute runs against him.
If there be any sincerity left, the party plat
form should indorse this policy of jackson Or
demand that he quit his office.
And if it takes but two years to cure the
crime of trying to bride Governor, why not
to the necessities and the desires of the forces
which still form the bulwark of the machine
"Why not reduce the time for corruption to
thirty days, 50 as to make grating and cor
ruption still more respectable and still more
safe?
Why not reduce the time for prosecution of
grating upon State funds to one week. which
would certainly make lot of fellows who have
been in office feel trife more safe, if that be
pOssiblef
Why not look ahead into the future, if the
old gang is to run things?
Senator Robinson and seven of The ten Re
publican candidates for Governor should COM
bine and send the Governor through the State
singing the new song Of freedom.
New York woman wants seat on the New York
Stock Exchange. So far, however of the gentle
has got up.
The Wild West is a country where they have Spats
half-Soed
Marrying American girls is great Indore sport.
Most girls carry lipsticks these days They have
to draw the line somewhere.

The Machine in Illinois

While the Democratic delegation
from Illinois will go to Governor
Smith and at least three-fourths Of
the Republican delegates to former
Governor Lowden. the primary in
that State is looked upon as the
most important yet held because it
will determine the fate Of the
Thompson Groves Small machine.
This machine not only has come
to be regarded as a thorn in the
side of the Republican party and a
vicious tyrant in Chicago, but as a
national disgrace.

Let the People Choose

EOl llIO CUPIC OlIUUO6
1t is rather remarkable in these
go get it, days that the two out
standing presidential candidates.
Smith on the Democratic side and
Hoover on the Republican-should
show such a willingness to let the
office seek the man.
In this respect, at least both
measure up to that conception OF
democracy which should go with
the highest office in the gift Of
mankind.
The apparent determination Of
each to let the people do the choos-
ing and to avoid such activities as
might compromise them in any way
is reaSSuring.

(South Bend Tribune)

The selection Of United States
Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio,
to sound the keynote and act as
temporary chairman at the Re-
publican national convention COM
mands general approval.
Senator Fess is a leader in adj
ministration affairs and he has
the ability and the personality to
fill the eXacting roles in a COM
mendable manner.
The fact that William NJ. Butler,
chairman of the national commit
tee, proposed Senator Fess as key
noter and temporary chairman Of
the convention is held significant
by some.
Whether Mr.. Buffers action was
taken for any reason other than
that Senator FesS was best fitted
or most acceptable of those who
we're available must, of course,
remain predetermined.
Mr.. Butler at one time openly
advocated drafting President
Coolidge for further service. His
silence in recent months while the
President has been simplifying his
original declaration that he does
not desire denomination, is in
terpreted by some observers mere
" as evidence that he is biding his
time and will put pressure on the
President if the convention is I'M
able to reach agreement on one of
the outstanding contenders for the
nomination.
This may be far-fetched. Others
who made it plain that they are
for MIR. Coolidge first have &C
cepted the Presidents declarations
at their face value and stopped
talking draft.
Under the circumstances Mr..
Buffers enthusiasm for Senator
Fess, one of the staunchest of adj
ministration Senators, need not be
interpreted as a step toward draft
ing the President.

On first thoughts, most persons
would be inclined to believe that
Senator Walsh's overwhelming re-
ply to the shameless ISLANDERS Of

ana was a tremendous waste of

~
They are at it again
Economizing!
The adage that "save the
cents and the dollars will
look out for themselves, . is
being applied in another
direction Of the Government.
The State Department is
sponsoring a little economy
of its own in putting the
Diplomatic List, better
known as the Blue Book, on
sale at 5 cents q copy. Or
If the purchaser wants to
subscribe by the year he can
save 10 cents on the Il
months issues, thus making
a total cost Of only SO cents
q year. And a saving of 80
cents a year to the State
Department.
Credit Is Due
The newest division of the
State Denartment-a division Of
protocols responsible now for
the publication Of the little Blue
Book. And so credit for this
economy must 60, it would
seem, to its chief, James
Clement Dunn, or his aide,
Charles Lee Cook, or their
aide, Myron A. Hoffer.
At any rate the decision has
been made to cease distributing
gratis the useful little pamphlet,
which distribution has been in
accord with immemorial custom.

documents at the Government
Printing Office 10 authorized to

Valuable
The little book would, Of
course. be highly valuable to
those who use the s'trademen's
entrance. = But heretofore, while
the publication has been given
away, 1t has not been easy for
''just anybody" to get a copy.
In fact, the distribution list has
been rather carefully and eau
tiously selected. Hence this put
ting it on a monetary basis will
perhaps. be good news to some,
while to others. it may be just
q petty irritation.
This Is not the first effort by
the State Department to cut
down the expense Of its Blue
Book. Two or more years ago
an attempt was made to have it
published quarterly instead Of
the traditional monthly publicas
ton. But this proved unsatis-
factory, for the personnel of the
diplomatic corps is so transitory
that unless It's listing was made
monthly, 1t seemed hardly any
use to list 1t at all.
