NO NEED TO HOLD CONVENTIONS THIS YEAR
AOKKA'P ileal of money, and more perspiration, could In'
saved if the Democratic and Republican conventions were
called off and Messrs. Smith und Hoover declared nominated by
acclamation.
The retirement of Senator Walsh, with the judicious declara
tion that nothing can be done to prevent the New York gov
ernor's nomination, makes Smith's victory as certain as anything
in polities can be.
j ne recent victories 01 moover, in unio and .Massachusetts, ;
followed by his tremendous vote
L'tali, and his certain triumph in this state, renders his nomina
tion at Kansas City equally certain.
As n result, both conventions are to be rather dull affairs,
merely matters of form; as far as the ultimate results are con
cerned, but such is the force of political habit, there is no chance
of common sense overcoming the partisan tradition, and the
usuul ballyhoos will he staged at Kansas City and Houston) a
scheduled.
However, those people who wish to take an active part in
what, promises to be one of the most exciting presidential cam
paigns in recent history, can now make definite plans.
This much is certain. The nominees this year will both be
men of unusual ability, and well qualified by training and
character to administer the affairs of this nation. .Mr. Hoover
is one of America s most distinguished citizens, favorably known
in every country in the world, with an u, mished record of
distinguished iH'complislinuMil , since his first ciilnmcp into imh-
i l ; j '
(lovcrnor Smith is not so
state; his knowledge and experience in world affairs is limited
hut that he is a ntantf excellent,
istrative ability, even his political enemies concede.
So it can. at least, be assured, whatever the final result in
November, that, no "second rater" will reside, in tho White
House the next four yearn. As
the campaign promises to be unusually bitter and hysterical,
as far as the voters are concerned, but that, the two nominees
themselves will keep their heads, and preserve their dignity,
can be regarded as pertain.

their aggressiveness and their vig

other lines of business do. If we

at the raucous shouts of our

MORE TAXFS
We lately paid our Income
taxes, which filled our bosoms
with despair; and nnw, with
brws like bnttle-nxes, we look
ahead to' further ' chr. Our
bunk accounts look small and
nikly when Uncle Sum has had
his own; the city treasurer will
quickly demand from us tho
buck und bone. Tho city ohce
was somewhat modest, it let us
down without a Jar. and wo
could truly smile our broadest
when we paid up tho tax ut par,
l!ut every year the tux gpes
higher till It s become a .griev
ous loiul; and ruin's ever draw
ing nigher as we go weaving up
the road. The tax collector has
no money, he's always calling
for the dough: and we. who
once were fat and pursy, grow
pale and haggard In our woe.
The state and . county will be
culling for ample bundles pretty
soon, and wearily we will go
crawling to pay the thaler and
doubloon. The state and county
once were, showing considera
tion to all hands, and .cheerily
they saw us going to meet their
moderate demands. Hut higher
those demands are flying with
every year that pusses on: to
pay the tax we go a-slghing,
and put our Sunday .clothes in
pawn. The man whlj pays, his
divers taxes has little money
left to blow; he gets behind It'
he relnxes for just n half a day
or so. Jle has to hump on
every sector, he , has to hustle
night and day, If he would pay
the lax collector and make tho
sheriff keep away. Yet he is
called a tightwad c r 1 1 1 e rfc a
piker and an also ran, a yellow
miser and a quitter, if he won't
give to every man,. A thousand
people are beseeching for
princely gifts for this utitfthnt,
