J3
It would be impossible to debunk
great political campaign such as
that in which the people of the
United States are engaged. Myths are '
very persistent, and they gain in
stubbornness from the passions of
the people.
In the recent election which sent
the Labor party out of power in
England there was an excellent ex-
ample of the extent to which pure &aaie was a niasie, i
myth can affect the result. The oppi- strument worth probably $100,000.
sition made public a letter which it'
claimed had been sent to England by
Zinovieff, an official of the Russian
government. This letter directed the
communists in the British Isles to
proselyte in the army and thus para-
lyze the defenses of England against1
popular uprising. It was never
charged that the Labor party had
anything to do with the letter, which1
has subsequently been proved false,
Nevertheless, it so alarmed the peo- e far, far better off ir He nad con
pie that the present Tory govern- tinued to take the superlative excel
ment was swept into power. Denials lence of his ancestral fiddle on trust.
of the genuineness of the letter dur
ing the campaign were futile. j
There are three such myths in the .
present presidential campaign. They
will probably persist to the last. One
of them is that Mr. Hoover fixed the
price of wheat during the war and
kept the wheat growers of the United
States from getting a big price for it.
Mr. Wilson answered this charge by ,
saying that Mr. Hoover did not take
any direct part in fixing the price of
wheat, which was done by a commis-
sion on which the food director did
not sit. It has additionally been
pointed out that wheat growers out-)
side the United States were far from
enriched by wheat prices, which flue-
tuated with such violence that it
would be difficult to prove how our
farmers lost anything by having the
price fixed.
A sppond mvth is that democratic
rule is synonymous with hard times.
There have been severe depressions
under both republican and democrat-
ic presidents. There was one
last
winter in which millions of people
were thrown out of employment.
There was one in 1907, when Mr.
Roosevelt was in the White House,
and another in 1893, when Cleveland
was beginning his second term. The
economists do not relate prosperity to
politics. Only the republicans do that.
It is futile, as opposition to a myth
always is for a time, to point out that
the Federal banking act, the work of
democrats, has probably operated as
the best business stabilizer the coun
try has ever known.
A third myth is that the tariff is
responsible for high wages enjoyed
by American workmen. Delegations
have come here to study this phenom
enon from both Europe and Asia.
They have all agreed that American
wages are due to the great natural
wealth of the country, improved man
ufacturing and business methods, and
the superior productiveness of the
American workman. Not one has
found that the tariff has anything to
do with it. yet that myth is so per
sistent as to be a considerable factor
in all our national elections.
It is too much to hope that the
country will reduce these things to
their true worth. Truth is only
stranger, not stronger, than fiction.
:o:
EIGHT BARREN YEARS
Republican misrepresentation of
the farm issue proceeds apace. Secre
tary of Agriculture Jardine, in a
statement issued at Washington,
talks about all the horrible things
that would happen to the farmer if
the tariff were to be reduced.
He neglects to mention the fact
that on the farmer's major cash crops
such as wheat, hogs, corn and tobac
co, the tariff is not working for the
farmer, and on cotton there is no
tariff at all. He neglects to mention j
that the republican party has failed
utterly so much as to recognize this ,
glaring injustice, let along proposing
to correct it, and what is still more !
important, he forgets to say that it
is one of the cardinal points of the '
democratic platform and of Gover-1
nor Smith's policy to give the farm
er the full benefit of the tariff to
which he is entitled. The American ,
farmer will not be fooled by Secre
tary Jardine s attempts to blind
them. j
After eight years of republican op-,
position and hostility in the White
house, it is too late now for repub
lican publicity agents to try to
change the record.

CTTRTIS. THE INDIAN
Senator Curtis's political swing-
around-the-circle of the Indian tribes
is a dramatic event. It means that
the Sioux, the Blackfeet, the Chey-
ennes, the Crows and the Osages are
ready to take their places as citi-
zens.
If they bring the same idealism
and philosophy and knowledge of liv-
ing to our civilization that they held
in their old tribal lives before they
were polluted by white men they
will have much to offer.
Incidentally, it, is to be hoped they
learn more about us than we seem to
be able to learn about them. The As-
sociated Press persists in speaking
of Curtis's Kaw grandmother as an
Indian "princess." There never was
Isuch a thing as a "princess" in any
Indian tribe. All our tribes were
