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

Vaccination Is
Good Insurance,
Says Physician
Dr. A. A. Johnson, Bluffs
Pathologist, Tells Conti
nental Club Cancer
Germ Not Found.
Dr. A. A. 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.

WHEAT GROWERS
START BIG DRIVE
Aberdeen, S. 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. Its
goal Is the doubling of the existing
membership of the 1921 wheat pool,
according to Harry J. Bofrta, organiza
tion director.
Marketing machinery of the pool
Is perfected and financing is amply
provided, Mr. Boyta declares, so that
the only question remaining is over
the extent to which South Dakota
farmers will ‘‘dump" their wheat this
year or, on the other hand, provide
for its sale as needed in order that
a strong market will he maintained.
Adherence to the same goal of or
derly marketing by similar associa
tions in other states is relied upon
by the association, Mr. Boyta says,
to stabilize the wheat market In the
coming year to a degree not achieved
In former years. South Dakota, he
said, is making progress in co oper*
live marketing which will put it well
nmong the leaders.
