Mayor Baker has assured the convention commit tee that any" advance in prices, syn chronous with the festal occasion. will be accepted as proof of profiteer ing and will be discouraged by prose cution. What citizen, with unlimited op portunity for multiplied traffic, would shame his city by further In creasing his- gains, with a few deft alterations of menu cards and price tags? Not one of us, of course. And yet and yet -it's always well to de clare a state of hostile preparedness for the profiteer, who is a creature lost to shame as utterly as the ban queting Berkshire champion, deep in his trough. ' Here Is another thought for today: If it be well to welcome the merry Shriners with the assurance that they will not be gouged, how popular motion picture theaters and base ball, and stoutly demanded that lie seal the city to such..frivollty on the day of religious observance. The law was still intact and operative, though somnolent, or mummified,1 the min isters maintained. They bade the mayor attend to its rejuvenation. "I would like to see the churches filled every Sunday," said the city executive, "but if people won't go to church, would you close everything else from them? I often ask myself where the people living In the con gested districts are to go for recrea tion." ' With the pertinent assertion that he was not the mayor of any. par ticular creed or class, Philadelphia's first citizen Informed the delegation that the dead past must retain its outgrown ordinance, and that the citizen of the Quaker city would con- 1 tinue in the exercise-of their moral would be the announcement that alright to spend Sunday as they chose. closed season for the public will be I Toilers of the six-day treadmill had maintained hereafter?

He can stay out of the primaries, still be a can didate, and pay due respect to party regularity. The candidate for state office, in Oregon, must go into the primary or detach himself from party. But will the aspirants for presi dential nomination In 1924 heed the lesson of 1920? In a state where the presidential primary flourishes they may, as hereinbefore remarked go in or stay out. If they go in they will not get many votes unless they spend much money. If they spend much money they will be subjected to criticism and suspicion. If they to into several "primary states and spend the amounts requisite to make a showing, they may, thereby, as did Wood and Lowdcn, defeat their own aims. In Oregon there are more than 318.000 registered republican voters, To send each one a circular costs for postage alone (1 cent each) more than $2280. One little circular to each republican J2280! To put an inconspicuous advertisement in each of Oregon country newspapers one time costs more than $2000. If one will consider that a campaign cannot be made with one circular and one advertisement, but that printing, sta tionery, clerical forces, rent and doz ens of other items must be added one must conclude that it Is a rich man's game It is a dangerous game. The Proc tors who have nothing much but money, may give bountifully to help a candidate whom they admire. The . Borahs, who have little money but are rich in natural talents, may give as bountifully and as effectively of something besides money and sac rifice more In so doing that than do the Proctors, but the scandal at taches solely to the giving of money. Money Is the most precious of gifts, Nobody gives it in a political cam paign unless he expects something in return. But a talent for oratory or a talent for organization or a talent for tomcthing else less concrete bu just as effective as money is cheap, The Borahs may give of It without I vlvfll nf T henm-a nv iar? m i 1 rwT . . . . . . 1 I ' - - - t AgreeaDie as is me outcome 01 me c.1iririv -.nnnlrl unr Kan'e anrl Questionnaires sent nnt hv the snK repuoucan contention to me pirty clean- No confirmed atheist would committee of the republican national m senerai, it win not racredbe ""-quarrel with such, a fiat.

On that point the federation will get no sym pathy in any quarter except among socialists, the liberals who talk of an independent party, and the revo lutionists who would establish the dictatorship of the proletariat. With regard to public utilities, the outlaw railroad strike proved the injury to the public to be little less grave than that which would result from a strike against the government, and public condemnation was unmistakably se vere. Though the platform does not assert a public interest in strikes in private industries, it might well have done so, for the coal miners' strike proved that stoppage of the supply of vital necessities like fuel injures the public as severely as does sus pension of public utilities.
