That the Smith forces have complete control of
the democratic national convention was indicated be-
fore the close of the first session Tuesday. On every
committee Smith adherents predominate, and the re-
ports Of all committees, including that on resolutions,
are expected TO reflect the views Of the Smith element.
There was no evidence Of a steam roller. The
Smith forces, with an overwhelming majority, merely
put over their program, accomplishing their work
without buster or noise and with quiet efficiency
which attested able leadership and effective organiza-
ton. That the organization will be equally effective in
securing the necessary ~two-thirds vote for he New
York candidae Thursday seems a foregone conclusion.
The big fight of the convention will come when the
Southern delegates are expected to stage their battle
for a dry plank in the party platform and the Western
delegates will wage their battle for farm relief. That
an understanding has been reached by the farm RELIEF
and prohibition elements is generally understood. and
in the event they fail in their efforts to get a majority
report from the resolutions committee on the planks
they propose to build into the party platform, the
battle will be carried to the floor of the convention.
That there is a probability that the prohibition issue
will be worked out satisfactorily in the committee
sessions has been indicated by Smith leaders who are
no longer so insistent that the party go on record as
opposed to the Eighteenth amendment. They have as
certained that Southern leaders will not compromise on
prohibition, and they realize that in the event the
fight is carried to the floor Of the convention it will
seriously affect the November vote.
Many Of the Smith leaders take the view that the
East, II u nomlnates its candidate, should extend to
the West and South the privilege Of debating the main
planks in the party platform. Other Eastern dele
gates contend that the party should make a play for the
anti-prohibition vote Of the East, asserting that unless
Smiths platform takes a definite stand in opposition
to prohibition the big Eastern states will swing into
line for the republican candidates.
Some Of the Eastern delegates are proceeding upon
the assumption that the solid South will remain solid
despite the platform pledges Of the party; but Southern
leaders have succeeded in impressing upon many of the
Smith adherents that the South and prohibition are
zone and indivisible7 and that any pledge to modify o.
annul the prohibition laws will result in a political
revolution in a number Of the Southern states.

FEAR is A G

One Of the most destructive factors that can come
into ~anyone's life is fear. Fear makes more lives un-
happy than poverty or disease or loneliness. Further

They are taught fear even before they are taught love.

CAUSES Of AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION POIYTET

~ r. III. DTNLAr

BY r.. W.. DUNLAP
lh' " Dunlap was born in Kingston, Ohio, in
1872. He was graduated from the Ohio State uni
versity in 1895. Dunlap first became connected
with commercial interests. He served as n mem
Der Of the Ohio senate to the 18th general assem-.
bly,, and as food commissioner Of Ohio from 1907 ~
sl9ll. He became assistant secretary of agricul-
ture by appointment Of President Coolidge in 1921.
Agriculture became i'll in the year 1921 ana has
been complaining since that time. This great indus.
try Is not permitted. as We are 70 select its own phy.
sician. Unfortunately, we had a large number of vol
unteer doctors, many Of them quacks, who prescribed
for agriculture without making a diagnosis.
Many Of these volunteer doctors knew very little il
anything about farming. They saw the opportunity Of
getting before the public and receiving some free pub
Lefty. As a consequence. many remedies have been
suggested, some Of which, if applied, would have made
the patient Agriculture" worse instead Of better.
Fortunately, agriculture has not been compelled "a
swallow some Of the impractical, or. / might say, pa
tent medicines which have been prescribed.
1t is very apparent 70 all that the primary disease
with which agriculture is now affected was the World
war. The farmers of the United States were urged. II
not commanded, to produce food products to the limit
Of their capacity and endurance. This they did willing
ly, and we all know they were well compensated for
their efforts.
The sudden closing Of the war Immediately
brought serious troubles to agriculture. The Euro
pean market was closed, largely for the reason that
Europe was broke and could not pay.
The farmers acquired the habit Of producing sur
plus crops and did not stop when the war closed: and.
as a consequence, a large surplus accumulated which
naturally resulted in the bottom falling out Of the
prices Of agricultural products.
While the prices Of agricultural products declined.
costs necessary to produce them did not. Labor costs
did not decline, neither did the cost Of farm machin-
cry and other articles farmers buy. Taxes increased
by leaps and bounds.
A further examination shows that new and i'm
proved machinery has been an important factor in
causing agricultural trouble. New and improved ma.
chinery displaced during the past ten years about s.
100000 horses and mules This means that about TO-
100000 scres Of land, which heretofore has been used
to maintain these 100000 animals. Il now used to

The final chapter in that pitiful farce entitled,
"The Remus Case" is written by the Ohio supreme
court, which releases Remus from the Lima state hos
pitai for the criminal insane.
The ex-bootlegger and wife murderer is iubilans.
and be has good reason to rejoice. He made q mock
cry Of the law. He came ;nto court red-handed and
with a criminal record behind him a mile long.
The fact that this record had 70 do with bootleg
ging, that Remus was not a burglar. highwayman.
counterfeiter or thug. does not alter the fact that he
was a criminal and a very successful one. His law
breaking activities were far more profitable than
burglary or other crimes Of violence.

serted the practice Of law in Chicago to engage in
wholesale rum-running and bootlegging. Remus muir

And yet, in spite of the fact that Remus was un-

H-IGH-PowERED MENDICANCY
New York Herald-Trihunel.

AN@W van
The seriousness with which modern mendicants take
themselves Is shown by the demand Of Stamboul beg
CARS for higher wages. At a recent meeting of mendi-
cants representing all districts Of the city q manifesto
was drawn up stating that the cost Of living had in
creased alta per cent since 1914, and that other profess
sions and industries had received a corresponding in
crease in salaries. Yet, continued the manifesto in
~dignanfly, the standard offering from the Turkish
public continued to be 10 paras, or about cne-eighth
Of a cent.
New York, like STEAMBOAT, is full Of beggars who
feel that they deserve a minimum wage. Most Of those
who peddle pencils look positively outraged il a patron
takes along a pencil in return for his coin. They con-
slider he should realize that the pencils are only
"props."
"A Salvation Army official conducted an expert
ment By "panhandling" along Broadway. In an hour
he had collected s345. Pedestrians unable to give
anything apologized and others went into stores and
got change in order to contribute. The official con.
cluded that. at the rate at which he was going, any com
petent beggar could pick up $40 to SIS a day.

registering extreme hunger. It was never necessary to
solicit aims. Invariably kindly persons stepped over to
him and thrust coins into his palm.

living.

New York, having sent several ambulance chasing
doctors to the penitentiary and fined others, is now
turning its attention toward the quacks in the medical
profession. AS a result Of recent activities over 1000
illegal practitioners have been driven from the state.
The Webb-Loomis law. which provides for the dis
ciplining and e~jecting Of licensed physicians guilty OF
misconduct, is proving a potent weapon in the hands Of
those who are cleaning up' the profession. One Of
the causes for revoking a license, fraud and deceit IN
the practice Of medicine" fit the cases Of unscrupu-
lous physicians who work with equally inscriptions
lawyers. The attorney general of the state, in a re-
cent review Of the law and its effects in driving the
charlatans and quacks from the state, gives the fol-
lowing description Of the joint enterprise Of ~blackIegs
of the two professions:
Recent disclosures have established that a so-called
ring Of physicians have been in league with q number
of ambulance-chasing lawyers. These physicians, who
generally received as their compensation part of the
settlement or recovery in negligence claims or actions
were at all times ready TO and did make false state
ments, false ~affidavits and false certificates. Their
testimony in support Of the claims reeked with per-
jury. In many eases the physicians who had not seen
the alleged injured, testified concerning fictitious in
juries. They were invariably ready to perform any ACT
required Of them by the dishonest lawyer in order to
aid such lawyer in his chicanery and thus increase the
recovery in which there was a contingent interest. The
physicians who have bene enabled under the cloak OF
their licenses to carry on this illegitimate and mer-
cenary trade have cast discredit upon an honorable pro-
fessioE and constitute a scourge that is not to be toll
