Governor McMullen talks of bolt

A man suing for divorce in Los

Those who favor a third party

senator tied up with an airtight con
tract before proceeding too far.

There may be trouble in China,
death and destruction among reckless
drivers of motor cars, political de

this part of the West just at this time
is the headline. "Crops Are Soaked."

Mr. Coolidge May be chosen as tl e
most available candidate politicall,
and he may consent to be drafte 1.
But he will go into the contest with
a moral handicap. And what about
the third-term tradition?

McKelvie claims nine Hoover del -
igates. To fit McKelvie against Sen
ator Norris, appears ridiculous. The
honest republicans of the state are
Senator Norris's friends. Let such

MORALLY HANDICAPPED
Secretary Mellon of the Treasury
Department is quoted in a Washing
ton dispatch to the New York Times
as intimating that President Coolidge
would accept another nomination in
the event of a deadlock at the Kansas
City convention. He made it plain
that this was simply his personal
deduction, uninfluenced by anything
Mr. Coolidge had said, drawn, so to
speak, from the logic of the situation.
It is a startling statement. It will
be so accepted by the country and
will, we think, cause a good deal of
uneasiness among the contenders who
have been campaigning energetically
for months on the assumption that
the President was not even in a
receptive mood, that he meant what
he said in his several declinations.
It has been pointd out from time
to time by men officially and per
sonally lose to him that Mr. Coolidge
has never declared that he would not
under any circumstances accept the
nomination. The Post-Dispatch has
never declaied that he would not un
der any circumstances accept the
nomination. The Post-Dispatch has
never seen that loophole. We have
never felt that it was necessary for
the President of the United States
to attach an affidavit to a communi
cation to the country. We have be
lieved, and still believe, that the
President's word is as good as his
oath. We are aware, of course, that
a national crisis might develop which
might convince Mr. Coolidge that,
notwithstanding his disavowals, it
was his duty, with the people's ap
proval, to continue in office.
No such crisis has occurred. There
is no possibility of sueh a crisis on
the horizon. Certainly a party dil
emma occasioned by the inability of
the Republican national convention
to nominate a candidate who could
not be serious submitted to the coun
try as such a crisis. Yet that sup
posititious party stalemate is offered
to the American people as justifying
Mr. Coolidge in defying the third
term tradition and reducing his
solemn pledge to a scrap of paper.
There can, in our opinion be no
mistaking the fact that, in the moral
judgment of the American people,
Mr. Coolidge is not and cannot hon
orably be a candidate to succeed him
self. His laconic "I do not choose to
run for President in 1928," issued
on August 2, 1927, was morally a
presidential message. That message
has been morally repeated in his talk
to the Republican National Commit
tee, in his repiimand to Senator Pess,
in his letter to party workers in his
own State of Massachusetts, which
was literally a rebuke to them for
their embarrassing distrust of his
sincerity and spiritually another dis
claimed of further political ambition.
So, on at least four distinct occasions
the President has felt constrained to
eliminate himself as a candidate.
Yet with the convention only a few
days off Mr. Mellon presents Mr.
Coolidge as a possible candidate And
Mr. Mellon's actions speak louder
than his woids. Elected as chairman
of Pennsylvania's delegation to the
convention, Mr. Mellon, who appar
ently dominated the caucus, com
mended the wisdom of his associates
in sending an uninstructed delegation
to Kansas City, and remarked the
tactiful advantage the unattached
delegation will enjoy in maneuver-
t-ennsyivania caucus and tne tenor
Kaving examined most of the pres
idential candidates, the Senate com
mittee looking into campaign expen
ditures finds itself in possession of
the following information:
1. Candidate do nothing for them
selves. They are the most modest peo
ple in the country. Fame beckons.
Opportunity knocks. Nobody home.
2. They have friends, these can
didates. Not known friends such as
most of us have, hut unknown
friends. Kind people who want to
see them in the White House. Name
less, but indefatigable.
3. No candidate spends his own
money very much. Yet the money
rolls in for some of them.
4. No candidate is in pursuit of
office. The office in every instance
is pursuing the man. Dodge as thoy
will, the office is always right on
their heels. They are a hunted lot.
The investigation is not over. By
the time it ends enough should be
known about presidential candidates
to affect the modesty of the whole
nation.
:o:
WORLD PROHIBITION
I
Whether or not the whole world
ever adopts prohibition is too deep a
question to b answered here; yet
there are strong indications that the
world is constantly growing more
temperate, at any rat".
Paris, capital of France, has a
whole multitude of bars. It is easy
to get a drink in Paris as it is to
buy a loaf of bread in Plattsmouth.
There is no hour of the day or night
when some saloon is not open. Yet
drunkenness is on the decline mark
edly so.
In 1912, for instance, Parisian po
lice made 25,000 arrests for drunk
enness,
Last year the figure had
fallen off to 8,000. The police insi?t
they are no more h :ii nt than they
were formerly. What i- the answer?
Observers abroad believe the chief
reason is the suppression of absinthe
and the greatly increased prices of
the stronger drinks. Whatever the
reason, however, the figures are vast
ly interesting.
:o:
FISHING WITH BENT PINS
Major Fitzmaurice. daughty trans
atlantic flyer, tells how he and his
comrades had planned to live if forc
ed down on an uninhabited Arctic
waste. They had an axe to cut wood
for fuel, planned to. use the plane's
generator to furnish pparks to start a
fire, and had a small supply of sand
wiches.
When their good gave out the
Mayor says he believes they could
have caught fish. They had no fish
hooks, but he believes they could
have made out very wel with bent
pins.
Maybe so. But we're mighty glad
(they didn't have to try it. As a lad,
we tried valiantly, time and again,
to catch fish with a bent pin for a
hook, and never came close to suc
ceeding. The fish always slipped off.
We have a hunch the aviators would
have gone rather hungry if they had
depended on that means to stock
their larder.
:o:
Vacation days will soon be here
and the small boy3 are looking
ward to the carefree times. But the
modern boy spends his vacation stays
'mostly in town and seldom gets out
in the country. Vacation days to the
writer recalls long trips into the
country, often several miles and from
one to a half-dozen visits to the old
swimming hole a mile and a half
'from town. "We didn't ride in cars,
ijwe walked, or ran. and barefooted
mt that. And, somehow, we believe
we had more fun than the boys do
in these days.

THE 1S28 CAMPAIGN
One reason for the impressive mod
esty of campaign expenditures in
192S is unquestionably the fact that
t lie re has b.' n a reaction against the
enormous xpenuitures of Vare, of
Frank L. Smith, and of the Harding-Coolidg-
campaign, as recently dis
closed by "Will H. Hays. A gigantic
budget, publicly recealed. would be
a heavy liability in 192S. Another
factor has been the character of this
year's enirpaian. Issues which might
'hplit the parties have troubled the
candidates on both sides and per
suaded them to proceed with caution.
If less money has been used than in
any other recent presidential pri
maries it is, for one reason, because
no candidate has wished to get far
enough out in the lead at an early
date to draw his rivals' fire.
Safety first has been the slogan.
In so far as Mr. Hoover's candidacy
is concerned it will continue to be
the slogan in case Mr. Hoover is
nominated, we are told by one of Mr.
Hoover's managers. The plan for a
Hoover campaign by radio and mov
ing picture "Mr. Hoover doesn't
need to go around the country and
show his face" is plainly a plan for
5i eamnaien based on a policy of
standing pat, ignoring as many issues
as can conveniently be ignored, and
answering few questions.
No doubt that is excellent policy
for the candidate of the majority
party. But it also points out the op
portunity open to the candidate of
the minority party, if the candidate
is Gov. Smith and if Gov. Smith is
ready to make one of his own ag
gressive campaigns on the issue of
Volstead prohibition an issue cap
able of carrying the industrial 6tates.
The fact that the count of the bal
lots in the Philadelphia primary
shows only 4 2 Democrats voting for
Hoover as again 2375 Republicans
voting for Smith, is a straw in the
wind showing how the urban voter
feels and what can be done to win
for-iuroan votes even in cities as strong
ly Republican as Philadelphia.
:o:
The republican leadership in Ne
braska is considerably jumbled up,
it seems. There is McKelvie, McMul
len, Updike and several others who
want to get into the big Bandwagon,
and leave Senator Norris and his
gang on the roadside to simply listen
to the music.
