BETTING ON THE CAMPAIGN.

At the middle of July devotees of the Goddess of Chance quoting odds of seven to i've against Gov Roosevelts chances of winning the Presidential election President Hoover It IS not in the size of the odds, which are not large that the significance lies. The real importance is that the gamblers give the Democratic nominee a better chance to win the election next November than it has given to any Democratic Presidential candidate in the past 30 years.
 In the midsummer of 1916, the odds were five to two on Charles Evans HugheSs chances of de- feating President Woodrow Wilson. Four years ago about the same stage in the campaign they were as high as four to against Gov. Alfred E. Smith and went even higher the campaign grew older
 There is said to be considerable Hoover money but it is more "cagey" than usual. One prominent grain man wanted to back Hoover to carry his home State of California but had to have even money on the contest in the State.
 Betting odds, after all represent the sentiment of those who have money to wager. Based upon local sentiment largely and without the benefit of any informed survey, which is not attainable this early in the campaign, they are of little importance in indicating what the trend of the electorate VIII be as far away as next November.

NO UNSOUND INITIATION SCHEME.

The Glass currency bill, passed by Congress in the eleventh hour of it's recent session, is not an old fashioned imitation scheme. Providing for the expansion of the currency base by one billion dollars, it does logically and honestly without any danger to the gold standard and without setting up subsidy to any particular group or industry. It merely makes the gold supply of the nation fundation for larger pyramid of currency and credit
 Admittedly of the great difficulties of the country today in the sagging of commodity price levels Until this is checked and measure of recovery undertaken, attempt to bolster industry or agriculture is going to get far in the desired direction But if prices can be improved and then put on a stabilized base the path to constructive enterprise which will put men and women back to work is again open
 The billion dollars provided by the Glass plan are honest dollars, not merely printed on paper and backed by nothing but a governmental promise. It is based upon gold and backed by the resources
