merce of the United States and Col. Frank Knox, the Republican nominee for Vice President Plainly the Chicago colonel was impatient at having to wait on
 Governor Landons long deferred speech of acceptance before he could launch his vehement demand for a restoration of free enterprise The Chamber had lcalled it free competition Knox demanded a letting down of bars by the States well as the Federal government and straight-a-way course.
 However it remained for the G. o. P. Presidential onnee to employ the expression much fre- tquently and fervently in his speech at Portland, lIaine.
 ITO me-" he said, the Republican platform means |. enactment of such additional legislation as is recessary to put end to monopoly and all special privilege If you do not believe this you had better not vote for me For am pledged by the Republican platform to save system of free enterprise"
 There were monopoists sitting out front cheering the governors remarks about destroying monopoly who did not believe him. They believed the estimate of him sent out to its customers by the Continental Bank and Trust Company of New York last January to the effect that Landon is safe So did the Du- Fonts, the Morgans, the Archbolds the Rockefeers let al, who in their own names, according to books Of the Republican State committee reported by the Senate Committee Campaign Expenditures, sent bountfu supply of cash into the Pine Tree State Led by six stawart Liberty Leaguers; who in August publicly announced they would not support any politi cal tnlS year, these OutSQerS put up three- fourths of the entire G. o. P. campaign fund in Maine. Evidently they believed Governor Landon would adhere their interpretation of the Republi- can platform. And in his speech he lost time in convincing them.
 The burden of the Landon speech in Maine was lsevere criticism of the NRA which he supported viz orously governor of Kansas and vehemently as chairman of committee of oil men in adopting the petroleum code While serving in that capacity he boldly demanded "the iron hand of dictator for the oil industry" This admonition rejected by Presi- dent Roosevelt, yet at Portland Candidate Landon accused the President of being a dictator and want ing to establish government domination of industry and agriculture
 Do want the government forbiddng us to plant what want in fields?" he asked at Port land despite his knowledge of the fact that farmers signed under the AAA of their free will And slso despite the fact that the farm plank in the Re- publican platform supports the present farm program
 The truth is that there vocal and seemingly sincere supporter of the New Deal in either party than Governor Landon.

Outlining his plans, Goering said
no German had starved, nor would
starve. The high seas fishing fleet
will be increased, he asserted, so
the people can eat fish when meat
is not available. Whale fishing will
be developed for the margarine it
can produce, he promised.
Goering urged all Germans to fol-
low the example of Reichsfuehrer
Adolf Hitler who, he said, eats nei-
ther meat nor butter. The audience
yelled with delight when the robust
Goering told them he had lost %
pounds by eating less butter.
Germany would prefer the old sys-
tenn of international exchange of
wares, but this now is impossible in
a mad world, so Germany will build
her factories, produce her own SYM
thetic rubber and her own sub
stitutes for cotton and other ma
terialS for which she now must spend
millions of dollars yearly, the gen
eral declared.

War VS.. Preparedness.

AS one who saw the first few
months and the last few months
of warfare on the Western front,
I'm like nearly every other man or
woman who witnessed those things
i hate war.
It's the next morning of drunken
glory. It's a stencil, an obscenity,
a vain waStefulness, an unutterable
indecency. It's machine which
sucks in at the hopper the beauty,
the youth, the hope of the world and
spews out from the spout the fin
ished product - broken bodies,
blinded eyes, maddened brains;
dead men and dying men and ruined
men.
But because we are against war
and because we believe the best in
surance for continued peace is prop
er preparedness in times of peace,
and because we behold half of civili-
zation on the edge of war again and
wonder where they'll strike after
they've torn one another'S thrOatS,
we do sort of worry to see our
country cut down on its defenses.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

IF EVER there was a case of
history repeats ITSELF in Amer
lean politics it was illustrated in
the careers of Henry Clay and
James G. Blaine. Separated by
half a century, those careers were
almost exact duplicates of near
achievement and ultimate disaster.
There were other resemblanceS al
so.
Both men were magnetic in
personality, eloquent in speech and
idolized by their followers. Botn
were master politicians and DOM
mated the. councils of their parties
but both fell victims to a political
enemy whose fateful vengeance fol-
lowed them all through their days
of striving for the presidency. An
drew Jackson was Clay's Nemesis;
Roscoe Conkling was Blaine's.
Early in his career Blaine rec
ognized his similarity to Clay.
When Grover Cleveland, then COM
paratively unknown, was nom-
mated by the Democrats in 1884,
Blaine had a premonition of de-
feat. Il am the Henry Clay of
the Republican party" he declared
TO friend CLAY was defeated in
two conventions when he could
have been elected, and he was
nominated for President when his
competitor was elected. That COM
petitor (Polk) was one who had
not been publicly discussed as a
presidential candidate before the
meeting of the Baltimore conven-
ton in 1874. 1 was defeated in
two conventions when l could have
been elected. l am nominated now
with a competitor alike obscure
with the competitor of Clay"
Then he shook his head and MUIR
INJURED sadly, "1944-1884!"
His premonition of defeat was a
true one. Cleveland, the unknown,
beat him in 1884 just as Polk, the
unknown, beat Clay in 1874.
So among all the "also-rans" of
American political history Henry
Clay of Kentucky and James G.
Blaine of Maine come down to us
as the really epic figures that
stand out as tragic personifica
tions of forlorn hopes"

The Fate of Big BOlshevists.

original Bolshevist leaders, the ia

Trotsky, in exile and due to stay
there if he values his health; Kam-
eneff, exiled, recalled, executed last
August; Zinovieff, executed; Rykoff,
denoted, arrested and trial impend-
ing, hence regarded as bad inSur-
ance risk; Radek in the same fix
and said to be worried, and l
wouldn't blame him; Tomsky, COM
mitted suicide to avoid something
even more unpleasant; Kiroff, as
sassinated; Mikoyan, got out in time
and stayed out; Bulzharin, under
suspicion and arrest impending,
odds against, 9 to 5; Evdokimoff, eX
ecuted; Smirnoff, executed; Lenin,
died natural death, but then Lenin
always was different; Stain, Bub-
noff and Krylenko, all going strong,
but you never can tell, so would
do well not to play too far in ad-
vance.

Denouncing the Baby Derby.

When Prime Minister Hepburn de-
nounced Toronto's so-called baby
derby as 'the most revolving, dis
gusting exhibition ever put on in a
civilized country" a lot of us gave
three loud, ringing cheers.
That eccentric Canadian million
aire, who left his fortune for a con-
test seemingly devised to prove that
the human species has a strain of
Potomac shad in it, unintentionally
came near to making cheap and
sordid the loveliest thing on this
earth, which is motherhood.
To see families engaged in race
to bring babies and yet more ba-
bies into the world, merely on the
hope of getting paid for it; to realize
the certainty of vulgar squabbling
over the prize; to know that inevita
bly, lawsuits will absorb most of
the honeywell, there are many
who oppose birth control. But de-
liberately fostered birth uncontrol
may have its drawbacks, eh, what?

is in contrast with a favorable bal
ance of $66, 496, 900 in the correspond
ing period of 1885.
Roper minimized the situation, de-
claring that heavy exports of raw
cotton, tobacco and automobiles
would probably bring the trade bal
ance more into line with previous
years. Pressed for further explana-
ton Roper insisted that "our govern
ment as such does not compete with
other governments in the selling of
goods" and this was the province
of private business. On reciprocal
trade agreements he was mum.

EMBLEMS

r YOU live IN state where they
still allow party emblems on the
ballot, take look at them as you
mark yours. That eagle soaring
above the clouds at the top of the
Republican column should remind
you of Gen. John c. Fremont, who
was the first Republican candidate
for President back in 1856. 1t may
be reminiscent of the eagles which
he saw when he was THE Pathfnd-
er" in the West or it may mean
that the Republicans have been in
power so long during the last 80
years that they figure they have a
better right than any other party
to claim the national bird.
That lordly Growing rooster at
the head of the Democratic col
umn should remind you of Joseph
Chapman of Indiana whose habit of
Growing over Democratic victories
a century ago resulted in this SYM
bol for his party.
That rising sun. with its beams
glinting over an ocean, as though
foretelling the day when there will
be Water. water everywhere, but
not drop to drink" tells you that
below it are the names of the can
didates on the Prohibition ticket.
Those hands clasped against
background of the earth tell of the
Socialists dream of greater equali-
ty for mankind all over the earth.
That stout bare arm with the ham,
mer in hand speaks for the Labor
party and that sickle and hammer
remind you that the Communists
would have us follow the example
of Soviet Russia.
There was once a time when
Bull Moose snorted defiance at the
top of one column on the ballot.
That was when Theodore Roose-
welt was seeking a third term un-
der the Progressive banner but
since 1912 the Bull Moose has been
an extinct political animal.
The reason for these emblems on
the ballot is practical one, besides
their symbolical significance. In
the early days they were placed
there to aid voters who had left
their spectacles at home and who
didn't want to vote for the wrong
candidates by mistake. When the
tides of immigration began pouring
into the country millions of for
eigners who were illiterate, even
after naturalization, these emblems
were helpful to them in their vot-
ing. AS new parties arose the use
of these symbols helped avoid con-
fusion and even though many eff
forts have been made to do away
with them. they are still in wide
spread use.

Toronto's "Baby Derby"
Ends in a Muddle

w died ten years ago leaving
will in which $4,000 was bequeathed
to the Toronto woman who gave
birth to the greatest number of
children in the ensuing decade, it
was considered sardonic joke. The

is joke, or at least a sac muddle.
Six women are tied for the prize,
each claiming nine registered ba-
bies, and eight others have filed
claims with the executors of the
will.
Two relatives of Millar announced
they would contest the will; and
the Ontario government was ready
to intervene with legislation that
would keep the lawyers, VIII o

various claimants, from getting

wage increases and shorter hours.
Assistant Secretary of Labor E. F.

when any group, whether bank
erS, employers or labor, take action

tion they are assuming a position

McGrady said.
'The free flow of water-borne for
eign and interstate commerce has
become paralyzed. This will involve
directly or indirectly the lives of the
citizens of the whole nation"
San Francisco had the added dis
tress of strike of 1000 warehouse
men who demanded higher wages,
and Mayor Angelo Rossi was mus
tering his forces to meet both this
trouble and the maritime strike. He
expected violent warfare along the
waterfront and said he would take
the necessary steps to protect pub
lie interests. The police set up head
quarters in the Ferry building and
strung their own telephone wires to
every pier.
| 1t was reported in San Francisco
that coast shipowners were consider
ing a plan to ask the United States
navy to put safety crews" aboard
western merchant ships left un-
manned.
Admiral Harry G. Hamlet, as a
member of the federal maritime
commission, opened a fact-finding
hearing in San Francisco, summon
ing the Shipowners to present their
case first. The seven striking unions
and their allies were to be heard
later. The maritime commission had
previously ordered peremptorily
that the strike be delayed until it
could hold the hearing, but the
unions declined to submit to this

Census Bureau Guess Is
128,42o,OOO Population

Uncle SANS nephews and
~ nieces now number 1913, 429, 900,
according to the estimate of Direc-
tor William L. Austin of the bureau
of census. The new figure, as of
July l, represented an increase of
908, 900, or OIL per cent, since July
l, 1885. 1t was based on the num-
Der of births and deaths during the
year ending June 80, 1886, and the
excess of immigration over emigra-
tion.
The bureau of agricultural eco
nomics also has been doing some
population estimating. 1t says the
back to the farm movement of the
depression years has halted and
that the farm population remained
practically stationary during 1885,
being 81, 5000 at the end of that
year. This figure, the bureau says,
was only slightly greater than in
1920 and somewhat less" than in
1910.
