STILL DEMOCRATIC YOU BET!
When the Republican national
convention meets at Kansas City it
will declare for prohibition and its
enforcement.
When the Democratic national con
vention meets at Houston it will de
clare for prohibition and its enforce
ment. Therefore, why all this rot and
rant about "dry" and "wet" candi
dates? The standard bearer of each party,
whoever he may be, may be safely
trusted, in event of his election, to
enforce the eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead act.
Therefore, insofar as the Demo
cratic party is concerned, it is high
time to win on major issues.
That the party of Jefferson, Jack
son. Cleveland, and Wilson has a
good chance to win this year cannot
be doubted.
The American people are tried of
corruption in high places, and this
will be the big issue in the presi
dential campaign this year.
The Journal is a Democratic news
paper at all times, and under all
circu mstances.
The party to which ye have pledg
ed allegiance has never chosen a
cheap or inferior standard bearer,
and we do not believe it ever will.
This year, as we see it, the supreme
'question is the success of the Demo
cratic party.

It is one long trial of plunder, pil

The American people are sick and

All other questions must be subor

nation. And to the work of bringing
about that redemption all
Democrats must pledge their

More and more there seems to be
a consensus of opinion that college
education for many of our young
people is unprofitable and a sheer
waste of time. An indication of this
is shown by the number of students

POLITICS AND FARM RELIEF
It is practically certain that Mr.
Coolidge will again veto the McNary-
Haugen bill, but that is not deterring
its advocates. The Senate has just
passed it again, and it will have a
majority of some fifty votes in the
House. There is hardly a sufficient
vote in either branch of Congress to
I . . . t .1 . .. .
legislation into that of politics. The

i 10" uioc, emu un ui'ic until iiinru
by political necessity to join with it
in this unique movement, is appar
ently endeavoring to maneuver Mr.
Hoover out of the presidential nom
ination. Mr. Hoover is not regarded
as a protectionist in regard to ag
riculture. He is a pronounced pro
tectionist in regard to industry, but
his political philosophy has not ex
tended that beneficience to farming.
Nor does the farm bloc think it
would do so if he succeeded Mr. Cool
idge in the White House.
That would, of course, leave farm
relief precisely where it is now.
Whether the McXary-Haugen scheme
is practicable or not, and many of
those who are voting for it doubt
I this, the fact remains that farming
is in a dreadful plight and the sub
sity projected by the McXary-Haugen
bill is the only relief upon which
all the students of the situation can
agree. So that no matter what is
thought of it. it determines the posi-
, tion of he farming industry toward
j a11 candidates for the Presidency,
This is wh' tl,p agricultural states
are for Lowden, as it also accounts
for the expectation that in Dawes
agriculture and industry may effect
a compromise at Kansas City.
The best that can be said of the
McXary-Haugen bill is that it is
fantastic and embodies governmental
i favor for a special interest. Yet
nothing could be moreso than the
tariff, under which 'ndustry prospers,
and farming begs. It is astonishing
that the country would engage in
' one fantasy to balance another, but
such is our devotion to the theory
.of the protective tariff. The fanners

A THOUGHT FOR DRIVERS
Here's a little something for you to
read if you drive an automobile. In
Kansas City a youth was arrested
after his automobile had killed an
aged woman. She stepped in front
of his car when he was traveling a
little better than 35 miles an hour.
and he was unable to stop. Asked
if he had ever driven that fast in
'crowded city streets before, he said
that he had. and added:
"Lots of people do. But they would .
quit if they knew what I know now.
I thought I was a good driver and
, could take of anything that come
up. But you can't stop a car quickly
going that fast."
That's worth thinking about. Thirty-five
miles an hour isn't terribly
fast; yet you never know when some
one is going to step in front of you
and, as the Kansas City boy says,
"you can't stop a car quickly going
fast."

SENATOR N0RRIS W0RIES ABOUT
NICARAGUA
The authority of the president to
interfere in the affairs of another
country and to supervise the erec
tions, has been a subject of discus
sion for some time. This last occa
sion was the interference in Nicar
agua when we sent a large force of
marines to protect lives and prop
erty of our own and foreign citizens
from assaults and depredations from
armed bands of rebels seeking to
overthrow the regular government
of President Diaz. Later on arrange
ments were affected between Diaz
and those opposing him through
which we were to supervise the next
national election announced for this
year. All-came into this but Sandino,
who continued his fight against Diaz
and our mariives. Xow Senator Xor
ris of Nebraska, selecting another
pin, inserted into the administra
tion. This was in the form of a
resolution for a senate inquiry into
the power of the president to super
vise elections abroad and at home.
It must be understood that such sup
ervision is not compulsory on our
part, but was through a request com
ing from the regular Diaz govern
ment and opposing parties, except
this Sandino. therefore we are not
trespassers and not without warrant
for our course pursued.
The Chronicle of San Francisco
writes on this Xorris resolution and
says in part as follows:
"The president's authority to act
in a cace like this has been debated
for 100 years, as Senator Borah
points out. In an open question of
this kind it is the logic of events
that settles the issue. The constitu
tion is lifjt sptcific, but it does lay
upon the president the obligation to
ceunluct the nation's foreign rela
tions and pmtect American intere-sts
abroad.
"The constitution, on the other
hand, deals specifically with condi
tions at home. It says: 'The United
States shall guarantee to every state
in this union a republican form" of
govern men. Let seme Sacasa or
Sandino break loese in Xebraska and
Senator Xorris will find the marines
or the army there in jig time if
Xebraska is not able to do the job
of pacifying herself. But the most
the constitution does is te guarantee
a representative form of government.
If the people of a state fail to get
good government that is their own
fault. The president can not use
marines to force it on them. We
think Senater Xorris knows this. We
still suspect that he put a laugh into
that resolution."

five were sufficiently unpopular.
