* Today All Politics. And Rather Dull. Many Questions. IT'heat Is Up. By ARTHUR BRISBANE j V.-' Ten million voters ask each other 10,000,000 questions. Here are samples of the questions: What about the votes of Catholic citizens next November? There is no such thing as a “Catholic vote,” but there are millions of voting Catholics, men and women. How do they feel about the religious question raised in the democratic convention. If our religion isn’t good enough for you, then our votes can’t be good enough for you.” — And then La Follette. What about his vote, in view of John W. Davis’ nomination? By how much will the Davis nomination increase the La Follette vote? That it will increase it there is no doubt. Certainly hundreds of thousands l of democrats that did not consider | themselves as “radical as La Fol A lette,” would rather be radical like ■ La Follette than conservative like ■ John W. Davis. And what about Mr. Coolidge? How will the Davis nomination af fl^fect him? Men in Wall street yes |L,terday were saying that Davis’ I^Jiomination will cost Coolidge many k conservative votes, because ultra leonservatives will prefer Mr. BDavis, the Morgan attorney, to ■Mr. Coolidge, presumably more in ■ dependent of big financial influ ■ ences. Many political questions were I raised when the democrats selected I their ticket, tired and angry, in I the late night hours. Also what about William J. I Bryan and his brother, Governor I Bryan of Nebraska? Can W. J. Bryan even pretend to I work for a man whom he described f as he described Mr. Davis? Governor Bryan is able, honest, sincere. Many farmers would un doubtedly have voted for him, rather than for La Follette, had | he been at the head of the ticket. But a farmer does not buy a cow for the sake of the tail, or a don key either. They will hardly take a presidential ticket for the sake — of the tail, no matter how admir able that tail may be. And what about those conserva tives that are going to vote for Davis saying “All’s well with the world,” and go happily to sleep. Do they realize that Davis is not immortal; that automobiles can run over him and germs attack him, "abslt omen.” How would they feel, should they succeed in mak jng the J. Pierpont Morgan lawyer president, and suddenly find through an accident, William Jen nings Bryan’s brother had become president? That would wake them out of their sleep with a bang. The price of wheat went up again yesterday. Perhaps some of I the big fellows are busy. They ' know, or at least believe, that higher prices for grain would do to La Follette votes what Paris green dogs to potato bugs. Before you decide that the country should enter the league of nations and mix up in foreign af fairs, consider facts in connection with foreign money. Three big nations, France, Bel gium and Switzerland, have the franc, as their unit of money. The Italian lira is the same. Francs and the lira were worth about 20 cents before the war. i France went into the war. Her | franc is now worth less than 6 i cents. Italy went into the war. ? Her lira is worth less than 5 cents. * Belgium went into the war. Her franc is worth less than 5 cents. Switzerland stayed out, minded her i own business, said to the other na > tions, “Keep away from me or I will blow your head off,” and the f Swiss francs is worth more than \ 18 cents. Remember how the American > dollar dropped below Chinese a money and was worth only half as * much as a dollar of Spanish money j A after we entered the war. Ask ■ yourself what the value of our dol- I 9 lar would be if we entered the ! ■h' -cague of nations and a general ' war should come on, as it will come, ■ sooner or later, with us mixed in it. i ’ (Copyright. 1»2(.)

Johnson of Council Bluffs, speaking to members of the Continen tal club at Hotel Fontenelle Friday noon in place of Col. Donald Macrae, asserted that cancer germ has not been discovered by medical science and he took issue with those who claim that a blood test will deter mine the presence of cancer. "It Is Impossible to determine can cer through a blood test,” the doc tor declared. He stated that a smallpox out break In Denver about a year ago offered additional evidence that vacci nation gives immunity and he in sisted that the same may be said in connection with typhoid fever. ‘■Vaccination is good insurance,” he said. “Deaths of diphtheria are not neces sary today," the speaker added. “It is only when the case is taken in hand too late that diphtheria causes death.” He referred to the advancement in medical science with reference to ad ministration of insulen to combat dia betes. The Council Bluffs pathologist was introduced by Thomas D. Metcalf. An emergency operation prevented the appearance of Dr. Macrae, who was to have addressed the club. Bee Want Ads produce results.

D., July 11.—The "vie tory week" campaign of the South Dakota Wheat Growers' association Is under way this week. It began July 7 and terminates July 12.
