A Hoover democrat. Holy Moses!
Did you ever hear of it?

The trouble with the sun these

What happened in China is easily

If only, the reformer would labor
among those who need it instead of
scolding people already somewhat
better than he is.
:o:-
Looks now as though Governor
Smith just used the prohibition
plank in the Democratic platform
for a springboard.

"Fifty Wa8hIngtonian8 went to the

Chicago the bad eggs usually send

Speculators in wild cat oil com

About all New York asks of the
newcomer is for him to mind his own
business and cheer for Jimmy Walker
when he arrives late. And the latter
is becoming one of the favorite things
many are beginning to hate to do.
Give your
stomach a
vacation, too!
It needs the rest, these hot
days and Shredded Wheat
gives it. The thoroughly
baked shreds of whole wheat
are easily digested and act
as regulators for the whole
system. That's because
Shredded Wheat is na
ture's own food just pure
whole wheat with all the
healthful qualities of the
original grain left in.
Vitamins and bran are im

INTOLERANCE IN THE CAMPAIGN
On both sides in this presidential
contest the bigots and the poison
whisperers totally misrepresent their
party leaders. Both Mr. Smith and
Mr. Hoover are high minded men far
above the plane of petty prejudice.
Neither would stoop to the use of
bigot arguments and neither would
want election to be won by such
means. Both of them must wish that
the burrowing intolerants among
their parties could be dropped in the
middle of the ocean.
Unfortunately, neither party lead
er has the power to examine his poi
son partisans or even to control their
folly. The duty to discourage them
falls on the fair-minded individuals
of their own parties. This is more
than a duty it is party interest. These
Intolerants are doing positive harm
to the causes they foolishly believe
they are advancing.
There's no room for bigotry in
America,
THE ICE CREAM SHIP
American ice cream has become ex
tremely popular in certain coast cities
of the Far East, notably at Hong
kong. Shanghai and Manila have de
veloped the same taste to a slightly
lesser degree, while Tokyo takes a
shipment now and then.
' Most of the Pacific steamships have
installed refrigerator compartments
to meet the growing business. Those
that used to be called "mail boats"
are now spoken of as the ice cream
boats" and the date of their arrival
is advertised days in advance. At
Hongkong parties are arranged to
take place on the evening arrival of
an "ice cream ship." So great is
the demand that fresh shipment is
all gone in three or four days.
Every liner takes tons of this deli
cacy from such western cities as San
Francisco and Seattle. In the special
packing cases used It will keep in
good order for about two months, but
it is not allowed to last that long.

: MISS BELLE LEAVES US
The latest deserter from the Demo
cratic party is Miss Belle Kearney,
professional temperance lecturer.
"It will be a blessed thing for the
nation when the Solid South is dis
integrated," says Miss Kearney. 1
And much more nonsense of the
same sort.
Well, goodbye. Miss Belle. Mighty
sorry to see you go, but hope you will
be happy with your Republican
friends.
Be sure and look under the bed
each night before retiring. There's
no telling where a Jesuit priest may
be hiding.
:o:
Not since 1924 has there been any
thing like the politicians enthusiasm
for the farmer, and nothing like it
will be seen again until 1932.
:o:
Evidently the democrats made no
mistake in nominating Senator Rob
inson for vice-president. He has dis
played himself a man of ability.
:o:
The champion egg laying Leghorn
hen of Connecticut State College has
maintained her "standing" in the
competition, despite the handicap of
a fractured leg. The limb has been
set.
:o:
Many a man who is neutral other
wise is glad prohibition came along
before the freedom and boldness ofj
flapperism. He feels pretty sure that
his saloon would have been spoiled
just like his barber shop and just
the same way.
:o: :
Norman Thomas, Socialist candi
date for President, was asked if he
thought he'd be elected, and he re
plied, "I may be a Socialist, but I
am not a nut," wherein he certain
ly differs from the claimers for the
Republicans and Democrats.
:o:
Today, in England and in Ger
many, three huge airships are being
completed with trans-oceanic service
in view. The English sister ship,
R-100 and R-101, surpass in size and
in capacity any previously designed.
The R-100, plenned eventually for
service between England and India
or other British colonial posessions,
is 711 feet long, and has a gas ca
pacity of 4,980,000 cubic feet, a dis
placement of 150 tons and a speed of
seventy-six miles an hour
:o:
In the dark period; for there are
few nights that the moon fails to
pierce the clouds or the fog suffi
ciently to relieve the darkness, just
as the sun relieves the shadowing
storm sky' in the daytime. But on
the moonless night, if ground and
sky be obscured by 6torm clouds or
mists, there is nothing but a Stygian
darkness impenetrable on all sides of
your plane, above and below it.
Navigating by night in such weather
is no joke and the strain of it broke
more than one man's nerve during
the war.
ROBINSON'S ATTITUDE
ON AGRICULTURE
Contrast with this (Republican)
record of feebleness and failure the
Democratic policy for the improve
ment of agriculture:
1. We repudiate Mr. Hoover's pro
posal to limit farm production to the
domestic demand, as calculated to be
little, rather than to encourage the
great industry of agriculture.
2. The Democratic party recogniz
es the right of farmers to lead in the.
development of farm policies.
3. That adequate credit facilities
and better administration of the
farm loan system be assured in the
interest of farmers.
4. The necessity is recognized by
the Democratic party for an organ
ized agriculture through which the
farmer may work out and apply his
own remedies, as well as receive gov
ernment aid, through a federal farm
board.
5. The creation of a federal farm
board and the financing of co-oper
ative associations to deal with the
crop surpluses.
While the equalization fee provid
ed for in the McNary-Haugen bill is
not expressly approved, the Demo
cratic platform does recognize the
principle of distributing the cost of
operations with respect to surplus
crops over the marketed units whose
producers are benefited thereby.
If a more equitable and effective
plan than that comprised by the
eaualization fee is discovered, it
should be adopted.
The time has come, however, when
an economic adventure is justified in
behalf of the millions who engage in
that industry without which civiliza
tion could not survive. The Demo
cratic nominee for President has
committed himself to prompt and de
cisive action in accordance with the
principles outlined in our platform.
:o:
IMPORTS OF FARM PRODUCTS
The total figure of agricultural ex
ports and imports, taken by them
selves without analysis, which might
lead to the conclusion that the farm
ers' troubles could all be solved by a
hieh Drotective tariff. As a matter
of fact most of the agricultural im
ports to this country are of products
which cannot be grown here.
Total agricultural . commodities
brought here in the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1928. were valued at $2.-
236,000,000. Our exports were only
$1,694,000,000. That looks like our
farmers were being flooded with im
ports. Such is not the case. These
"agricultural products." so-called,
contain such things as raw silk,
$376,000,000; crude rubber, $300,-
000,000; coffee, tea, sugar, spices.
edible oils, tropical fruits, etc. all
things which our farmers don't raise.
Only $100,000,000 of these imports
really are farm products such as
America raises, namely grain, meat,
dairy and poultry products. Against
this $100,000,000 of competing agri
cultural imports we exported $792,-
000,000, Wheat and corn were ma
jor items. Yet our imports of wheat
and corn are negligible in compari
son witn our exports, uairy ana
poultry products accounted for $40,-
000,000 of the $100,000,000 of com
peting imports. These statistics show
that farm relief cannot be mainly
in the form of tariff revision. Of
course, certain few agricultural tar
iff schedules could be revised up
ward as an aid to domestic producers.
The main problem is, however, out
side of tariff control.
:o:-
STRATON'S WET" HOTEL
The Reverend John Roach Straton
who made a blithering ass of him
self in his charges against Governor
Smith, says that the reported sale of
whisky in a hotel owned by him at
Greenwood Lake was a "conspiracy"
of the liquor interests."
Naturally, a man of Straton's ilk
would say a thing or that sort, de
spite the fact that the only "liquor
interests" left in this country are the
bootleggers, hi-Jackers, and rum run
ners, and they do not want to em
barrass anybody.
These men do not want prohibition
annulled. It would ruin their busi
ness. They are the' most ardent
"drys" in the United States.
The whole truth of the matter is
that Dr. Straton leased his property
to persons who were engaged in the
liquor traffic, and the most charitable
view is that the New York preacher
did not take the trouble to investi
gate their moral character.
:o:
An employe of the United States
treasury department is said to be ex
plaining the Blackmer case to
France. We'd be Infinitely obliged if
it would let him give the people of
the United States an ear or two full
on the subject, always providing he
actually knows about it.
