Mark . WHAT ARE WE QUARELING ABOUT? Five men, yesterday, asked the editor of The SUtesmanto explain the McNary-Hauen bill and the equalization, we - of the men is a newspaper editor. The Statesman has attempted to explain this many, many times. How many readers are. there yet who do not unaer stand it? It is very simple Aimvart am .imnle as that two and two make four. The reader of this, if he is still fojrgy in his mind about ft, is invited to read the news item on the first page, based on a casual talk with Senator McNary. Tt tranSDires that the McNary-Hauen idea and the Jar dine plan are the very same thing-, with only a difference as to how the equalization fee snail De paia The McNary-Haugen idea is that the farmer himself shall pay it. The Jardine plan is to have the government pay it. President Coolidire said he was in favor of the Jardine plan. w. intimated or said openly that he wouKUign the McNary- Haugen bill with the equalization fee left out. Herbert Hoover is ostensibly in favor of the Jardine plan. Then why all this hullabaloo? Everybody in the Republican camp is agreed. They have been merely splitting hairs. Minc ing words. Haggling over names. The Democrats at Houston would declare in favor of the plan, with the equalization fee, if they were not afraid of be ing called inconsistent because they would thus in effect be declaring in favor of the protective tariff; for there can be no McNary-Haugen idea, and no Jardine plan-, excepting it be built up behind the protective tariff. ' The Democrats might as well come out squarely and declare for the plan, any way; for every Democrat' in the United States is in favor of protection for the products of his own section. He is against it only for the other fellow's district. J Perhaps the Democrats will declare for the plan, equaliza tion fee and all, any way, consistency or no inconsistency. 4 ,aaa-aaa-aa-a-aaa-aaa- ONLY ONE OUTSTANDING ISSUE (Eugene Register) William C. Peterson of Pendleton, who has been, chosen a Oregon ,s member of the resolutions committee at Houston, says he believes personally that the entire liquor situation should be returned to the hands of the individual states, but would be willing to support a general law enforcement plank in the platform, with no specific reference to prohibition. That is to say, he is opposed to prohibition, but for the sake of such dry votes as might be picked up would be willing to pussyfoot in the platform. It is hoped that his counsel does not prevail. If the Demo crats nominate Al Smith, they will declare by that act that they are opposed to national prohibition. They will only make themselves ridiculous by nominating an outstanding wet one who owes his prominence to his antagonistic views on prohibition and then turning around and declaring in the platform for enforcement of the prohibition law. The Democrats have pnly one outstanding issue opposi tion to prohibition. They are apparently determined to capi talize that issue by nominating Al Smith. As a matter of good political strategy, they ought to back their wet candidate with a wet platform. As a matter of good faith, they ought to be willing to stand squarely behind the issue upon which they will depend chief ly for support. The Democratic mule has changed to an ostrich; as wet as the Atlantic ocean, but with bis head buried in the sand to hide the fact. And not hiding it, any more than the big bird hides his body that way. After the November returns are in, if not before, the Demo crats will make firm resolves to hold no more conventions in Texas. To the sweltering Democrats at Houston, the rescue of the Nobile party has not seemed Important. Houston stands for hot weather and hot air. t Bits For Breakfast Shower doing mnch good - Dolor a Jot of good to lata sown grata and lata planted gardens, and to all the flax Bat a lot of harm to many thousands of tons of bar, and to the cheriiee, which will crack.

The southern leaders would strain at a gnat and swallow a mule to find an excuse to stay In the democratic column. t If China hadn't been so back ward about adopting clriUzatlon, she would now be able to protect herself against it. S When the drirer says. "She's mlMing badly," you don't know whether he means she's missing explosions or missing pedestrians. Americanism: Using money you haren't earned to buy things you don't need to impress people you don't like. Tou see, under government management the Shoala will pro vide ammunition for soldiers in time of war and for politicians In time of peace. The life of the candidate is not an easy one.

The experts on diet have discovered that the reliable dish of ham and eggs is all right. The high brows have been telling us for years that the old fashioned "ham and" like a great many other old-fashioned American habits was all wrong. But now it is discovered not suddenly but after many years of patient experimentation that this American dish is all right from the dietary standpoint. The ham is rich in Vitamin B but lacking in Vitamin A while the egg has the Vitamin A but is short on the B. What could be sweeter than this? . This is the second blow the American "liberals" have had recently. For years they urged us to look down on good old , American apple pio, but now this toothsome dish has been siyeiTthe offical OK of the experts at least of a great many of the experts. It would of course be impossible to get them all to agree, on any one thing. In the South everything is courtesy. Bootleggers at Hous ton apologized through a local newspaper, expressing regret at being compelled to raise prices. They had no idea how thirsty the crowd would be, and found themselves on Monday with only 3000 cases. 36,000 bottles of whisky and only cas ual assistance from local stills. Under the circumstances thev were obliged to raiseprices. "Laws of supply and demand," they said. It seems unnecessary for Democrats to demand an end of prihibition: While the senate did help golf to the extent of increasing ex emption on taxable club dues nothing seems to have been done about reinstating the 19th hole.
