The Democratic
Platform

If the Democrats are wise
in their generation they will
not inject into the platform
any controversial topic hav-
ing no relation to the solu-
tion of the economic prob
lens of these days. The poll
ticians cannot make issues
after all, They can put
planks in platform that no
one tn in ks about, cares
about or talks about; and
that is one of the vices of
modern platforms.
Every other man has a
hobby that he carries to a
platform committee; and
they should be heard cour-
teously, and speedily, and
SHOWN the door.
The people of America
know precisely what the
issue is this year, it is the
restoration of normally pros
porous conditions based on
sound economic policies.
When millions are anxious
about their ability to buy
bread and prevent the evic-
tion of their families for non
payment of rent, it is sheer
nonsense to try to turn their
attention to any academic
question. The next Demo
cratic platform should be
brief, positive and confined
to economic questions and
only such political questions
as are fundamental.

theory is that what the

course, very few concerned

that the billions loaned Is

"hired the money, and that
the burden of paying the
debts of these nations should
be put upon the people of
this country.
But one fore IN statesman
is honest enough, and fair
enough, to tell the truth. In
an address before the Cana
dian Trade anl Labor Con-
gress this week, Prime Min
lister Bennett said:
"For every dollar you
ask the United States to
forgive and forego, you ask
them to put another dollar
of tax on their own people. }"
And then he added:
"In a democracy that is
not an easy task and condi-
tions being what they are it
is less easy than it ordinarily
would be. I frequently ask
myself when we speak Of, or
think of war debt cancella-
ton, if we are not a little u11-
fair"
That is the statement of a
fair and honest man; but we
should not have to go to
Canada to get a statement
that is fair to American tax
payers.

With the conventions not
quite six months distant,
the denomination of Mr..
Hoover is a certsinty-how-
ever reluctantly it may be
made.
Thus far, among the Dem
ocrats, there have been but
two positive announcements
from Governor Ritchie and
Governor Roosevelt; and
within 4S hours a statement
from Newton D. Baker,
which is nothing less than
a public declaration Of re-
captivity. None of the fav-
orite sons is formally in the
field.
Leaving Mr.. Bakers recep-
tive candidacy out of con-
sideration, his statement that
the League of Nations is not,
and cannot be made a party
issue, is an accurate and
valuable description Of the
situation. Not since 1920
II years ago, has any one
with the slightest political
sagacity or common sense
thought of such a thing.
America can never 60 into
the League unless the Ameri-
can people, as a people, re-
gardless of party. want it in;
and to put it in as the result
of a party issue would pos
sibly mean putting it out as a
party issue four years later.
Not even the organization at
Geneva would want that. No
one ameng the Democrats
has remotely suggested such
a thing; and everyone knows
that a League of Nations
plank could not possibly be
written into the platform.
AS a party issue it is as dead
as Pharaoh.

Democracy Needs
An Eminent Leader

It is interesting to observe
that the premier says that
"in a democracy it is not an
easy task" lightly to burden
people with billions of the
debts of other nations to
make it easier for, interna-
tional bankers to collect on
their bad loans, at good in
terest, abroad. It means, Of
course, that without a democ-
racy and under the rule of
Mr.. Winston Churchill s
eminent individuals, " be-
yond the reach Of the people,
it would be simple enough.
When the people them
selves, who pay the taxes,
are not permitted to have
anything to say about them,
it is just too bad for the
people; and a thousand years
of history show that to be
true.
Thus, in Mr.. Churchill s
fling at "the people" and in
some publicists' sneers at
"the- voters and politicians, :"
we have a common jeer at
democracy in America which
stands in the way of the bur-
dening of Americans with
the debts of other nations.
All that democracy needs is
an eminent leader.

saint and made to dance vio-
lently in the saints presence.
First, a few words about the
good little st. Vitus, then the
important news that a scientific
cure for st. Vitus dance has
been discovered
st. Vitus lived long ago, in
the days of the cruel pagan
Roman Emperor Diocletian.
He cured the emperor's son Of
st. Vitus dance in its most vio-
lent form by driving demons
from the son of the emperor.
You would expect this to
soften the heart even of a
pagan emperor, but it did not.
Because st. Vitus would not re-
cant his belief in Christianity,
the emperor had him thrown.
alive, into a huge kettle Of
boiling oil.
Being a saint, which indi-
Gates that a person has proved
ability, to perform miracles, st.
Vitus was able, through his
miraculous power, to escape
from the burning oil. But he
died soon after from other
tortures.
Ever since, until this day,
his statue has been the only
hope of children with the st.
Vitus dance disease that doc
tors call "chorea. It comes
from a word meaning to dance.
Now, to the joy of many
parents who have seen their
