Col Bryan's Refusal to be Trapped by
Cj-.O.P. Aid hings That
PROHIBITIONISTS In league with the republican machine Intent upon inveigling Col. "William Jennings Bryan Into running for I resident on the- prohibition .ticket, for the draft that he might make upon "dry" democrats thus weakening th opposition to S n. Warren Gamaliel Harding and the support of Gov. James Middleton Cox, failed and should have failed. Col. P.ryan 13, after all, a democrat as against the republicans, and heu the senso to know that no "dry" republican If there b any such thing save for partisan effect; they never fight for It Inside their own party. would ever vote, for him, even If Gamaliel and th republican platform wero as "rum-soaked" ns the local republican organ says the democrats are. Col. Bryan was manly enough to go before his own party convention and make tho tight within that party for th "d'-y" principles for which he stood; something that no republican did at Chicago. And when the fight was over at Fan Francisco everybody knew that the democrats were indisposed to making an Issue of the liquor question; they had not, as the republicans hypocritically did at Chicago, adopted a camouflage "dry" plank In committee nnd then managed to lose it romewher between th committee room and the convention hall. Neither Is any democrat. Just now. obliged to ("lane th "can-can" as Sen. James Ell Watson is doing, contending one thing while the published documents prove another. Ho cays the so-called "dry plank was adorted, oh yes, and should be in the published text, but It isn't Just another way of carrying water on both shoulders; or rather, water on one shoulder and boozo on the other. The jTohlbltlonlst effort at Lincoln was nothing more nor less than an additional effort to strengthen that camouflage In behalf of the republicans by drafting Col. Bryan from the democratic party and thus sidetracking his following from the support of democracy. It has many of th ear-marks of a contemptibly deep plot, and tho Xebraskan, as seems generally the case, wlrely served it. Every effort possible Is being made from republican source to make believe that the democratic party, because It turned down the Bryan plank is all for booze, but of course, that could not be true of tho republicans with reference to the Watsonian loss of the republican plank. Neither could the Harding speech In tho senate on the 18th amendment and the Vol
"Government by Bootleggers?" South Bend's Journalistic Author of It Should Leaf Ovzr Its "Dusty Pages" for Real "Rum-Soakedness"
FOB a newspaper which, according to Its own post-election boasts, has foisted upon a city the rottenest Administration for bootlegging, and otherwise; that ruch city haa ever had, to become even eCferreacent In criticism of anyone else on that euhject, requires a vacuity of moral sensibility euch as Is neldom witnessed in newspaper circles. The quotation in the next above- editorial Is to the point. Lvery conceivable apteral, known to the process of fln by omission, was mad by that newspaper, to rffect the usherlng-ln of this administration which for Its own selfish convenience, it now condemns. Yet for two years It condoned, tolerated, secreted, nd finally defended Its course, not only as to bootlegging, but prostitution and gambling without a critical reep. Oh. yes, but they will say, haven't we been going nfter th Carson administration on this clean-up luslness? Gracious ye, but not on Account of the clean-up business. A year ago, when the Zimmer-Pambs-cher controversy was at its height the city administration defended by its organ. In Its nefarious course, turning "whisky Into water and Insisting upon th retention of that liquor in the hope that It might be turned to water too, the aforcraid organ awoke on morning to And itself pinned with Its back to th wall, and it squealed. That was Its first peep, and It didn't peep then because it. cared so much about the rotten conditions In tho city bootlegrrlng Included. as that Mayor Carson TV a n't öolnff Its bidding on some ether things. It fought to us Its influence for moral clean-up as a blackmailing hammer over Mayor Carson's head, to make cf hin Its slave. There wa3 a temporary truce, and then the mayor seems to have broken away again. When Bob Jones cam to town, and our contemporary conceived the idea, that municipal house-cleaning mlcht become popular, it once more .ought to ride cn th wave, and then again became th administration arolcgist, playing up how well the mayor had brought things tinder his thumb, and all was to be spotless and white. Its next outbreak was when the federal prohibition agents arrived. Oh yes. It has been going after Mayor Carson on this clean-up business; going after Vim when forced to It by circumstances, and when It has opined that It might be used as a club for something e'.se. but with no sign anywhere of unselfish adherence to moral principle. Government by bootleggers," is an exclusive democratic rclicy Is It? Who is enforcing the federal prohibition law today? Ts it democrats or republicans? And all the way "from the national organization down through the state and county right to the home," democracy is rum-soaked is it? We have criticised the democratic organizations In that particular ourselves, but we protest in behalf of millions of democrats In their homes, and a whole Jot cf them running for oruce. On the average the democrats, organization men. candidates, and the rank and f.'.e. are as high-minded, moral, self-respecting, sober, and circumspect in their homes, and elsewhere, as republicans are even up to the threshold of our editorial contemporary, and this notwithstanding that they may not move about as r.eatly attired, drive such splendid automobiles, or be able to whirl through the "smart stt" wi'h such tccoxalcfi; sr..

stead act possibly make It so. He voted for them, yes. following the caucus, with the insertion of tho "seven year" clause In the amendment, and certain weakening features proposed by the "wets." in the enforcement act. but even that could not rescue any single republican from the high eminence of "dry" angels. We have a disseminator of this line of propaganda right here in South Bend. It talks about the election of democrats. tU the way up and down the ticket, as meaning "government by bootleggers." and even carries the Insinuation that such is the kind of government all democrats have In their homes. This Is no apology for the dampness that may exist In the democratic party. It Is rather an oxpicision of profound contempt for the damnable "holier than thou" attitude of certain loud-mouth-(i republicans, who constantly deride that democratic dampness, but plainly enough, down deep In their hearts, and minds, have no real objection to the booze interests whenever their strength ti.n be martialed for republicanism. The Fame unpiincltleel republican sheet, here under our nost-s. which spread this insult before the "dry" democrats ol this vicinity the other day, will be mollycoddling the "wets" in slush up to Its neck, before the end of the fall campaign, to get their votes for the G. O. P. "The election isue In St. Joseph county Is plain and simple. To vote the democratic ticket is to cast a vote for government by bootleggers. From tho national organization clown through the state and county right to the doors of th(; home the democratic policy is rum-ioaked." Good morning! Is your family drunk? The republican organ would like to know. If you are a democrat your policy, right up to the door of your home. Is "rum-soaked," and the purpose of such policy is to maintain "government by bootleggers," That Is the import, and no doubt, the intended imparl : deliberately calculated to insult every democrat, rrd to brow-beat, bully-rag and bull-dose him, into thinking he must get out of the democratic party, and Join the republicans in order to be respectable. Col. Bryan bas seen too much of this thing, prevalent In the republican press, and among republican leaders, during the years of hLs public life, to fall into the trap set for him at Lincoln, quite appaiently by designing republican manipulators and prohibition blacklegs.
There are still who believe that
to Smell "Rat
Such mud-slinglng, we scarce believe, will aid the republicans anywhere in this campaign. The liquor issue is not an issue, in national politics, and the only possible applications locally is in tho matter of congressman, U. S. senator and prosecuting attorney. We cannot see how republicans can expect to get any democratic votes for their republican nominees by calling all democrats "rum-soaked," even casting the slur at their homes to implicate their wives and children! Furthermore, their senatorial nominee, who was the manipulating loser of the republican "dry" plank; will this blattant insult to "dry" democrats attract any of them to him, even if there were otherwise any excuse for it? As to the prosecutor's office, it makes no difference how well intentloned the republican nominee may be, he has proven as deputy city attorney, that he couldn't get Into court so as to stay there long enough to have it do the public any good. A man has to have some legal ability as well as "angelic" intentions advertised for campaign purposes, to be worth his salt as prosecuting attorney. That gentleman may thank the organ of his party for such reference to his legal acumen; in fact, it Is an organ with such an unsavory record for duplicity in politics, and utter selfishness In governmental affairs its political recommendations falling flat so frequently, as for instance, those that helped put over Mayor Carson. that we wouldn't be surprised if the republican party would fare better, if it had no organ whatever. It can scarce kick up any dust that will not Hare back into Its own face, and bo likely to begrim everyone whom it presumes to favor. Even the national ticket might do better without it. Its support of Mr. Harding, and attacks on Mr. Cox, are as permeated with Incipient Idiocy, as Is this uncalledfor, misrepresentative, and unmanly slur at democrats in their policies in politics or their homes. Looking back through its "dusty files." perhaps It can find for itself the desirability of a policy that runs to ri?ht first, rather than to temporary expediency always and not so very expedient at that!

The "Open Season" for Husbands By Helen Rowland Through a Widow's Lorgnette
"There's young Gayboy. having his last fling--poor fellow!" remarked the Bachelor, as he nodded genially toward a young man who sat at a cozy little corner table regaling a remarkably pretty girl, with special dishes and highly-flavored ilattety. "Hi last fling?" repeated tho Widow wonderingly. "Is he going to be married?" "Going to be? Ho IS married!" elucidated the Bachelor. "His wife comes home tomorrow!" The Widow smiled, as she doffed her dust-coat and unfastened the chiffon strings of her becoming little motor-hat. "What a foolish woman!" she exclaimed, "to go away for two long months and leave such a decorative husband unleashed! It serves such wives perfectly right, when thoir husbands become er mislaid. No woman would go away for a whole summer and leave her Pom or her Pekinese to go his own wild sweet way, and to forage for his food, and then expect to find him. waiting patiently right there on the front steps, when she came back!" "Ah well." returned the Bachelor, with a shrug of resignation. "What's one husband more or less in these days of progreMive-matrimony ? A Pom or a Pekinese Is a valuable animal but a husband can always be easily duplicated." "Perhaps," agreed the Widow without conviction. "But, there's the 'other woman's' point of view. What I can't understand, is why any girl should waste her powder and her lipstick and the best days of the husband-harvest season on a married man!" The Bachelor sighed, and attacked his claim with relish. "It's going to be a positive fad!" he complained, bitterly. "We poor bachelors don't stand a chance, beside the 'man-en-thc-leash,' nowadays. Even in the Broadway comedies and the movledramas, Iolly-the-debutante and Klora-the-Map-per, and Tessie-the-beautif ul-typlst. are lured from us by the subtle machinations of the villian " "But I'm not talking about MIlalns'!" interrupted the Widow, "and I'm not speaking of the Broadway flapper, nor of 'Bertha-the-beautlful-sewlng-machine-glrl,' and all that sort of thing. I'm thinking of nice girls and nice men. Why does a nice girl, who would rather break an arm than a convention, consider It smart, chic, even a feather In her cap. to be seen lunching with some other woman's husband? I should think that she would realize that it looked well, rather 'hard up, to say the least to have to BORROW a husband!" "Exactly!" agreed the Bachelor. "Like having to borrow a pair of evening gloves, or an umbrella, or a lift in somebody's motor-car. Going about with a 'borrowed husband' is a sign of sentimental poverty." "Still." mused the Widow, thoughtfully regarding her ice-consomme. "I suppose that there Is something in the fact, that they're so much EASIER and more responsive." "WHAT!" "Oh. more Impressionable. explained the Widow. "They've been broken to harness you know. ar.d are bridle-wise and much less restive and spirited. It's like pulling a tooth, to get any sentiment, or even a little enthusiastic and convincing flattery out of a bachelor." "Nonsense!" protested the Bachelor. "I'm overflowing with sentiment! And, as for flattery, nothing I could say about that ravishing motor-bonnet you are wearing would do it Justice, much less flatter "The average bachelor." interrupted the Widow. Ignoring the Bachelor's belated attempts to mend things, "doesn't even TRY to make a flirtation Interesting. He thinks he I doing his bit by bestowing his ociety upon you. But the poor married things are simply yearning for some crumbs of sentiment and a few purple moments of romance."
