liberal. what kind of legislation we
will get after January 1, 1887, will
have reference to the attitude of the
successful Presidential candidate, and
the Congress.
The Democratic party is cursed
with southern reactionaries, and the
Republican party with Eastern reac-
tionaries. Both parties are progress
sive west of the Mississippi river.
President Roosevelt has forced most
of his southern Democrats to support
liberal legislation. Can Landon force
Eastern reactionaries to do likewise?
And can President Roosevelt much
longer hold his southern reaction
aries in line? If Eastern reactionary
Republicans and Southern reactionary
Democrats should some day take a
notion to cooperate, it would likely
spell the end of reform legislation
for at least some time.
A President may be ever so liberal
but reactionary Congress and a re-
dictionary Supreme Court may tie his
hands so that he can do nothing
which he wants to do, and be COM
PEELED to do good many things which
he does not want to do.

There are certain rerquisites en-
joyed by the citizens Of democracy
which are disgustingly abused. One
of them is the right of free speech
when exercised with utter lack OF
decency and restraint against the
highest office within the gift OF the
American people. l am referring to
the words used by the militant Cough
lin, who describes the President of
the United States as "a double crosser,
a great betrayer and liar" Any citi-
zen of this country who thrilled with
approval of those words should care
fully examine his attitude toward the
government of his country.
The spectacle of the use made by
Americans of this great charter OF
free speech, of which they are so
proud. must be an amazement to other
countries.
If we cannot respect our American
institutions of government we might
as well abandon them.

Any critical reader of the Herald
may take the platforms of the Re-

after carefully analyzing them will
find that they are fundamentally
alike.
Different language is used to phrase
their platforms, but the language
sifted to it's meaning discloses the
fact that they point toward the same
end.
Both platforms favor. sound money
which means that both platforms OPP
pose initiation of the currency.
Both platforms favor old age pen
siOns and security program.
Both favor amending the COnstitu-
ton if necessary.
Both favor subsidies for agriculture,
the Republican platform declaring for
the restriction of such subsidies to
the family size type of farm.
Both favor low interest rates for
agriculture, the Republicans declar-
ing for preferred interest rates to re-
finance or purchase family size type
of farms.
Both platforms lean to the left and
must be classed as liberal.
