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.

Edward Christensen, son of Mr.

snake caused his death, relatives said.

Dr. S. If. McCleneghan to make an
examination.
The family is prostrated. Edward
was the only remaining child of the
Christensens. Another died of pneu

The conversation that followed,
convinced the correspondent that no

indicated the cunning of a rational
mind—this man is not normal at the

No human being in full possession

Haarmann did on the detail* of his
fiendish butcheries.

Haarmanns even enacted the scene
showing the last moments of his

showed by graphic gestures, with his

how he put his victims to death;
how they lay extinct.

He told how, for five years while
some times working as a stool pigeon

"terrible trade" without leaving a

until the fatal June. 21, when he was
arrested with a youth who refused
to follow him to the slaughter cham

"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.

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

Bryan's chance* of getting on the
ticket with La Kollcttc sagged almost
out of sight with (he announcement

senator from Montana. Wheeler

jumping into Hie La Koliette camp.
The Bryan scheme has sowed its
seeds of discord, however—"Brother

Is too the anti-Bryan forces* are also
out in deep wilier. They are slash

Bryan Guilty of ‘'Political Bigamy,"
Tlie one man in Nebraska these

young life is Adam McMullen, re

Those democrats who charge Bryan

lie is guilty of the name "political
bigamy" hta ecused J. N. Norton of
Polk, of practicing three years ago
when Norton was a candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination on the
democratic and third party tickets.
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

the welfareo f the entirp national
ticket as he is in his own welfare,"
he continued.
