PLOTTERS OF REPUBLICAN DISSESION "SEEING THINGS" Again the political oracles, led by the Democratic astrologers, see signs and portents in a Republican primary result. The nomination of Gifford Pinchot for governor in Pennsylvania is recognized by these sooth-sayers as a symbol of "revolt" against the national administration and national party organization, which have about as much to do with an intra-party struggle in the Keystone state on state issues as with the outcome of a battle between Chinese generals at the gates of Peking. Mr. Pinchot is an appointee of the Sproul administration as state forester in Pennsylvania; in other words, his Republicanism has been recognized as regular by the state party organization against which Mr. Pinchot contended in the recent primary. State issues are and usually have been paramount in the factional struggles of Pennsylvania. Only politicians out of sympathy with Republicanism and desirous of harming the candidates named by arousing factional opposition are exploiting the imaginary factional significance of the Pennsylvania and Indiana primaries, which exists solely in the fetid imaginations of yellow journalists and politicians. The Republican candidate named in Pennsylvania and Indiana will have the united support of the national and state Republican administrations and the Republican state and national organizations. The national administration and organization of course did not figure in the contest at all. Those seeking the defeat of these candidates are attempting to create the impression that the success of these candidates in the party primaries represents factional triumph. But these candidates and their friends are making it clear that they no such in administration until it is amended or repealed. If the railroad owners had flouted the rulings of the labor board they would likewise have been made aware of President Harding's stand. When there is wanton defiance of the laws of the land, there is ample occasion for a firm declaration on the part of the enforcement officers, led by the president, that the law must and shall prevail. A POSTAL ECONOMY Postmaster General Work is in favor of ownership by his department of every postoffice building in the country, that is, of every building that houses a postoffice. He has examined leases of buildings or parts of buildings occupied as postoffices, and finds that the rentals for ten and twenty years would in many instances have paid for the buildings. If the rental pays for a building in ten years, the rate is excessive, but it is not if it takes twenty years for it to cover the selling value of the building. However, in many cases, the postoffice does not occupy a whole building, and therefore if the rental pays for such building, even in twenty years, it is an excessive rental. It would appear, from the facts submitted by Mr. Work that his proposal is practical. The government is in the postal service to stay. If it pays rent for a building until it virtually pays for the building, it must commit the extravagance of continuing the payment. This is not thrifty, as banks, real estate men and others interested, not alone financially, but autruitistically, in the welfare of our people, are continually telling the wage earner. The "buy a home" movement is just as economical for the government in the case of an activity like the post-office as it is for the private individual depending upon his daily work for his shelter and support. For the hypocrisy is being European nations highest tariffs in guiding that the U.S. honorably returns protective policy. Highest protective has ever known, country had enacted the United States civil war, is inducing insincere agitation. The American about all they were down for the U.S. reign nations in terms. The time United States must of the needs of U.S. act in sometime it of preservation nation policies or governments now to control Americaicies by propaganda.

The national administration and organization of course did not figure in the contest at all. Those seeking the defeat of these candidates are attempting to create the impression that the success of these candidates in the party primaries represents factional triumph. But these candidates and their friends are making it clear that they put no such interpretation upon the result, for the good reason, among others, that having been nominated they desire to be elected, and parties succeed through unity rather than division and dissension. RADICAL APPEALS There never was a time in the history of our country when sober thought, calm speech and broad tolerance were more imperatively necessary to the public welfare than now. The nation has not yet recovered from the strain of war, a strain which bore upon the nerves and spirit of the people even more heavily than upon their material resources. In such a period the minds of men are not normal, their passions are easily swayed and an appeal to class prejudice or to fancied selfish interest is more potent than in ordinary times. These things, no doubt, were uppermost in mind of President Harding when, in his admirable speech at Marion, he pointed out the menace of the man "who appeals to prejudice and inflames passion, when sober judgment and honest speech are so necessary to establish tranquility and security." The ills which beset the people of the United States, in less degree than those of other lands, but which nevertheless exist, can not be cured by setting men against each other, by arraying class against class or by inflaming passion by injudicious appeals. If the problems are to be solved they must be solved by the processes of calm discussion, mutual forbearance and a willingness to meet on common ground, making mutual sacrifice to the end that the common good may be subserved. For in the United States there can be no permanent prosperity or healthy growth unless all classes of citizens are benefitted. Those who labor, as the president is laboring, to impress this truth upon the people are performing a service to their country. CUBA NOT INCORRIGIBLE Reformation of the political and economic life of Cuba is proceeding with commendaable rapidity. A new cabinet has been chosen, a reduction of $600,000 in the salaries of high government officials has been ordered, the compensation of lesser employees has been cut, and there has been a substantial reduction in other items of the budget. The result is a substantial surplus that can be applied to the floating debt of $60,000,000, and the abandonment of the proposal to float a bond issue in the United States. This improvement program is due to President Harding and his personal representative, Gen. Crowder, who has been in Cuba for some time making a study of the situation. The stabilization of Cuba is very much to the interest of the United States. In normal times most of the Cuban sugar crop comes to this country in exchange for the things that the Cubans need. A disturbance in the island means corresponding loss and inconvenience here. Furthermore, the spirit of the Monroe doctrine demands that the United States must do what it properly can to guide the welfare of the American republics if we are going to prevent European nations from interfering with them. LET OUR TARIFF BE AMERICAN-MADE! This government has been such a perennial good thing and easy mark for the rest of the world during the last few years that there are those at home and abroad who assume that the natural mission of America is to be humanity's perpetual burden bearer. The diplomatic representatives of European nations are busy telling us how we can best frame our tariff laws for a building until it actually pays for the building; it must commit the extravagance of continuing the payment. This is not thrifty, as banks, real estate men and others interested, not alone financially, but autruitically, in the welfare of our people, are continually telling the wage earner. The "buy a home" movement is just as economical for the government in the case of an activity like the post-office as it is for the private individual depending upon his daily work for his shelter and support. For the government to keep on paying rent for a building or a part of it after it has already paid for the building is foolish.

For in the United States there can be no permanent prosperity or healthy growth unless all classes of citizens are benefitted. Those who labor, as the president is laboring, to impress this truth upon the people are performing a service to their country. Those who, taking a cheap advantage of an existing state of mind, seek to gain temporary personal advantage, acquire power, or, for the very love of mischief making, try to destroy the faith of their hearers in the fundamental things for which this government stands, are a menace to their country and enemies of its people. LAW MUST PREVAIL In the rail controversy the labor board is the government. It is not a mere agent of the executive, appointed to aid in the administration of the laws, like the coal commission or the employment commission. It is specifically created by the law itself, the transportation act, and congress has directed that the board perform certain duties and render decisions binding upon all the country. The demand of the labor leaders that the railroad operators ignore the rulings of the board was nothing less than an invitation that they violate the law. The president of the employees' organizations professed to see an "unwonted display" of interest in the enforcement of the transportation act when President Harding declared that the labor board had the "full and complete backing of the government." Every law that congress enacts has the full and complete backing of the LET OUR TARIFF BE AMERICAN-MADE! This government has been such a perennial good thing and easy mark for the rest of the world during the last few years that there are those at home and abroad who assume that the natural mission of America is to be humanity's perpetual burden bearer. The diplomatic representatives of European nations are busy telling us how we can best frame our tariff laws in the interests of foreign lands and protesting against the restoration of the protective policy in behalf of American labor and enterprise. There are many statesmen and near statesmen in this country and in Europe who seem to be very slow waking up to the fact that the present national administration has a mandate from the American people to give an occasional thought to the United States. Recently the representative of the French chamber of commerce, emitting outcry against the pending protective tariff law, declared that for the American government to impose stiff tariff rates on articles of French production was a violation of friendship and an outrage upon the French people. Whereupon a New Yorker who had undergone a recent experience with the French government related the story in a communication to one of the New York newspapers engaged in advocating the theory that our tariff laws should be framed in the interests of importers, international financiers and alien producers. A pair of gloves was recently sent by a New York friend to a world war soldier now visiting in Paris. They were returned by the French authorities, postage collect, with the information that roeign gloves were not permitted to be sent into France.

Canada, with the highest protective tariff that country has ever known, written after this country had enacted the lowest tariff the United States has known since the civil war, is indulging in some of this insincere agitation. The American people have had about all they want of policies laid down for the United States by foreign nations in their own selfish interests. The time has come when the United States must take some account of the needs of the American people, and act in something of the same spirit of preservation which dictates the nation policies of every one of these governments now engaged in trying to control American governmental policies by propaganda. JUNE FORD SALES TOTAL 5709 MACHINES A DAY "How many Fords were sold in June?" is a question that has been frequently discussed by Ford fans the past month. The enormous total of Fords purchased by customers in May has aroused a great deal of interest in the production figures for June. A dispatch just received from the Ford factory by George Dunton, authorized Ford and Lincoln dealer, states that June brought forth the highest production in the history of the Ford Motor company with a total of 148,439 cars, trucks and tractors. Of this number, 6054 were sold by the Ford company of Canada and 9435 by the various European Ford companies and South American branches, thus reaching purchasers in practically every civilized country in the world. Ford's total sales for the first six to depleted soils. Every condition of living is being simplified. The case with which one now turns on a flood of light by merely touching a button is typical of what is being done in a thousand different ways to make life easier and more pleasant. DEMOCRATIC TEAM-WORK When Senator Tom Watson rushed in to prevent Senator Heflin from slugging Senator Glass he may have been inspired by the thought that he needs some of the same kind of protection himself at frequent intervals. Love which makes the world go round, also ought to make it go "square." It isn't polite to do it, but there are a lot of folks that need a good kicking after they are down.

This would require a growth of 200 per cent from three and a half million in 1920 in a period of thirty years. Such percentages of growth are not uncommon in new and flourishing states, but would be phenomenal in the older and larger ones.
