THE TRIUMPH OF REASON
When a candidate appealing to
■■
the reason and judgment of the
electorate wins over men and wo
men distinguished for their char
acter and understanding, it is
reasonable to suppose that men
xnd women of good sense and
mm character of lesser note all over
are turning the same
When women like Ida Tarbell,
tnd Mrs. Woolley, president of
lolyoke College, and men like
Cilery Sedgwick, editor of the At
antic Monthly, Presidents Hib
•en, of Princeton, Garfield, of
Williams College, Charles W. El
iott, of Harvard, MaeCracken, of
fassar, Thompson, of the Uni
versity of Ohio, Dabney of the
■sity of Cincinnati, and
others, become earnest and
' V
in their support of Davis,
it is certain that his appeal to
common sense and commdn hones
ty in government has met a broad
response all over the country.
Many of the best and soundest
labor leaders, many leaders of the
agricultural interests oi! the na
tion have announced their support
of Davis.
Too many and too great evi
dences of Davis’ growing strength
are daily exhibited to admit of
doubt. Between Coolidge and
chaos and Davis and democracy
the choice is easily made and
- wise men and women are choos
avis.
A REPUBLICAN COINCIDENCE
At the very time Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon was certi
fying that the nation* could not
afford the bonus to the ex-service
men then pending in congress the
internal revenue bureau of the
treasury was putting through an
amoritization allowance of fifteen
and one half million dollars to
his Aluminum Company of Amer
ica, and this same aluminum com
pany was obtaining a tariff on its
produce more than double the ex
isting rate.
Mr. Mellon was the watchdog
of the treasury to the soldier boys
but there his vigilance ended.
THE “SIMPLE” TRUTH
“The simple truth” runs the
current saying.
As a matter of fact, truth is
direct, straightforward, unequiv
ocal and challenging, but it is
not simple.
On the contrary, there is noth
ing more elaborate and complex
than the simple truth.
In popular parlance this idea is
expressed in such sayings as “The
ainple boob,” “honest, but poor, »
and only a little while ago a long
controversy raged around the
question whether a Christian man
could be a successful man in bus
iness, politics or any of the prac
tical affairs of the world.
Truth is not a simple thing at
all, but the most advanced nno
cultured and spiritual thing to
which the human race has attain
I
he application of truth iii life
lot simple—no more simple
, to
a
-•i of a great engine ia
iff
simple.
A troth ia an idea that haa
come through—an idea that haa
been hammered out on the anvil
of experience.
The men who uttered the Bible
truths, struck them off in the
midst of their work ilka the
Bparka that fly from the black
smith’s anvil; and they found
their truths in the midst of he
roic struggles for the liberation
and advancement of peoples—
struggles that ended in martyr
dom more often than in cultured
ease.
For every truth there ia a how
—and there is the trouble.
A technique of know how has
to be learned.
Ignorance is a dangerous cus
todian for a great truth, and the
leaderships that make truths work
have to be founded upon vast
mechanisms of social co-ordina
tion and individual allegiance.
REPUBLICAN REPORTERS
INTERVIEW HOBOS
IN THE STOCKYARDS
Th Borah committee pjrobably
will never be able to uncover all
even of the legitimate ways in
which the republican national com
mittee has spent money during the
campaign. !
The following is a sampler of
the kind that the committee, l^ft
to its own resources, never would
have suspected:
A Washington man who recent
ly spent a good deal of time
around the Chicago stockyards,
vouches for the truth of it,
Republican headquarters, he says,
maintains a force of reporters,
paying them $12 a day each, to
hang around the stockyards and
interview the hobos who “dead
head” into Chicago on the cattle
trains.„„_........ 2?ix_ xx - -.........
Every hobo is expected to say,
when properly interviewed, that
the western country from which
he came is practically solid for
Coolidge.
And as the average hobo yields
readily to the superior intelli
gence of a $12 a day reporter,
most of them say what is expect
ed of them.
It is hard to say tllat this not
a legitimate expense. i
But the Borah committee, look
ing for questionable but shrewd
ways of spending money, would
probably never uncover this ille
gitimate and foolish method. 1 >»
Several constitutional amend
ments will appear on the ballots
in the next election, which it is
just as important to vote on as
for any person named on the
ticket. Voters should study these
amendments and be prepared to
vote for or against each on No
vember 4.
Farmers are warned that now
is the time to kill next year’s
boll weevils by destroying the
cotton stalks as fast as the cotton
is gathered.
Already some of the local mer
chants are beginning to advertise
holiday gifts, which reminds one
that Christmas is not far around
the corner.
The ballot for the November
4 election is four feet long, which
is long enough.

“ITALY, PROSPEROUS, DOES
NOT WANT MUSSOLINI TO
* STEP OUT,” SAYS
CAETANI.
His impressions of the present
situation in Italy, especially re
garding the strength of the Mus
solini givemment, were expressed
recently by Prince Don Gelasio
Caetani, Italian ambassador to the
United States, on his return to
thiB country.
To Close Up Affairs.
The envjy came to close up his
affairs as ambassador and return
to Italy, he admitted. He intends
to resign to direct a giant engi
neering project there, the draining
of the Tontine marshes south of
Rome.
Speaking of Mussolini and his
times, the ambassador said:
Want Mussolini.
a The Italian people do not want
Mussolini to retire. Italy was
never before more prosperous.

A clergyman was traveling in
Scotland. He was shocked at the
dismal ugliness of the Psalm tunes
in the Scotch churches, and com
plained to a Scotch minister one
day.
Why such ugly tunes?” lie
said.
“Ah,” said the Scotsman, “those
tunes are very, very old. They
are bel i eved to be the very ones
that David played on his harp.

their money into buainesa enter

bonds. The stable rate of ex
change shows that the country has
recovered largely from the effects
of the war. The exports to Amer

over those of the previous year.

BORDER COTTON IN
TEXAS IS INJURED
BY THE PINK PEST
Austin, Oct. 29.—Cotton has
been damaged to the extent of 40
per cent by the pink boll worm in
the Santa Helena district of the
upper Rio Grande border, accord
ing to information received by the
state department of agriculture.
The pest is supposed to have in
vaded that part of Texas from
Mexico. It is not expected, how
ever, that 11 will spread ■ to the
older cotton growing belts of the
state for the reason that the lo
cality where it is now y.und ii
isolated and remote from these
cultivated areas.
The Texas department 01 agri
culture is taking every precaution
to prevent the worms from' get
ting into the main cotton belt.
All roads leading out of the in
fected area are guarded and all
travelers coming east are exam
ined for cotton or cotton products
liable to carry the pest.
