Today 1 Take Your Choice. Merchant Farmers. More Earthquakes. Equal Justice. By ARTHUR BRISBANE V___ ■ -.-J Republicans demonstrate to you beyond the shadow of doubt that I.a Follette will take his votes from John W. Davis. “Organized labor -tates will desert democrats,’’ and “Davis will get nothing but the south.” _ Democrats can prove, if you have any intelligence at all, that 1,3 Follette’s vote will he taken from Coolidge. La Follette is a re publican, his following is chiefly among the farmers of the north west. They are republicans. La toilette will carry Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Da kota, cripple Coolidge and elect Dfcvis. Tipis is what the democrats say. __ The fact is that nobody knows anvthing about this election. It may 'be settled in the senate by Covernor Bryan being elected vice president and becoming president automatically. But, if you must bet, be careTul how you liet against Coolidge. Four more earthquakes in Tokio, lastiag an hour. It takes couiage to life in that country, where earth quakes begin “with pronounced humping, followed by a sidewise motion.” .... t Find comfort in this: Every earthquake brings you so much nearer to the last earthquake. When the earth once gets settled down, presumably it will stay set '!<It has been settling for hundreds of millions of years,- however, and may continue settling for another million or so. And besides, the con tinents are only a floating crust on the earth’s hard core, and they keep moving. We die so fast, wc don’t notice it! Mr. Arnstein, “master mind, had one million of stolen bonds lucked away somewhere. It is said .Mr. Arnstein will be set free, if he will restore the bonds. Those hid ing them will not be prosecuted. Perfectly legal, presumably, but it would make one million dollars in bonds more important than “equal justice to all.” 'If Mr. Arnstein had stolen a loaf of bread, they would not let him out of prison for restoring the loaf. One million dol lars—that is different! Twenty-five million dollars worth of grain elevators are in rludeif in a big merger that will allow men that grow gram to con trol marketing. This is one of the biggest co-operating enterprises ever organized. The farmer* owning this con cern, if they own it, and if they control its —maTTUgenrc-nt, • -vrrrald have storage for 50,000,000 bush els^ of grain in Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, Minneapolis, Fort Worth, Tex., etc. Men that produce the wheat, pigs, corn, potatoes,* etc., ought to have something to do with the mar keting and price regulation. They haven’t managed it yet, but Cali fornia has proved that it can be done. Fires are sweeping the magnifi cent forests on the Pacific coaEt. Entire families have been wiped out. Beautiful trees and Vreat property values were destroyed. Mr. Jackson, son of the owner of the Portland Journal in New York yesterday, attributed the trouble to exceptionally light rain fall. One day such fires will he con trolled by state and national fleets of flying machines that will patrol all important forest regions and flock at the first wireless fire sig nal to extinguish the flames from above. Lawyers of the American Bar association, sailing for England on an English ship, will present to the British a gigantic statue of Sir William Blackstone, whose memory many law students hav* cursed heartily. An able. New York lawyers, Elmer Schlesinger, said yesterday: “If Blackstone were here now, he would be working in somebody’s law library for $100 a month.” What counts now is personality, individuality, enrgy. You can get all the people you worst to tell you the law, if you happen not to know it. But to make somebody take your view of the law, Requires abil il* __ , You have been told- here often that wheat and other grains were going up in price. And so they are, in the judgment of this writer. Put ting up wheat and corn is the easiest way of piling up votes for Coolidge and taking votes from La FolleMe. Mr. Arthur W. Cuttcn of Hii cago is said to have cleaned up a million and a half in corn. He would have made more had he held on longer. But don’t gamble. Leave that to Mr. Cutten and his friends. They know how. If all would-be “get-rirh-qulck” schemers fare like Edward Allen, Frank Taylor and Tony Briglia of New Jersey, it would be well for the innocent. The three men named were due to hang at Tren ton last night. Having heard that Walter Crosier had great wealth hidden on his farm, they killed him. They got $0 in all, each get ting exactly $2 for his life. (Copyrlaht. lilt.) OSTEOPATHY M Yuri H«« Proven It* .

"Yes, do you think so?” Haarmann queried, to the reporter's comment. Suddenly he grew serene, almost morbidly grave, as he added; “But it wasn't easy—I assure you It wasn't easy.” He nervously felt at his throat, then fumbled his face, felt his temples as if they were bursting. "No, It wasn’t always easy," he said.

Small wonder therefore at the ex plosions in Omaha. Progressive Would Override Demos. Those who are not yet ashamed of the word ‘'democrat' are up in amis against the 50-f3 scheme proposed by Bryan. This is chiefly due to the fart that It Is realized that .lie "radical progressive" end of the nar gain would override the “demo" end. it makes no difference that Bryan's chance* of getting on the ticket with La Kollcttc sagged almost out of sight with (he announcement of Burton K. Wheeler, democratic senator from Montana. Wheeler "off" John W. Davis and has said so, jumping into Hie La Koliette camp. The Bryan scheme has sowed its seeds of discord, however—"Brother Charlie" is away out in deep water and no life saver in sight. The fact Is too the anti-Bryan forces* are also out in deep wilier. They are slash ing around nefertheless, making a great noise.

Here is what tlie "democrats" haVe to say on the subject: “l'ou can say for me that I favor a candidate for governor who isn't a political hybrid," said Arthur K. Mullen, leader of the Hitchcock fac tion in tlie democratic ranks. There was blood In his eye, too. Mr, Mullen made his statement on his return from New York, where he was a delegate to the national con vention. "1 favor a man for gover nor who is as deeply interested in the welfareo f the entirp national ticket as he is in his own welfare," he continued.
