Register complaints before 3 - < Stability and Prosperity The Republican Party will make no appeal to envy, cupidity, ignorance or class hatred by assailing productive enterprise. The Rcnubli can partv is frankly friendly to all legitimate business,‘little and big, in every case where it is conducted on a basis of common honesty and reasonable regard for general welfare. It docs not inculcate hatred of either rich, ; moderately well off or poor people, ns such, and advocates” no policy of confiscation or expro priation, very v>ell knowing that permanent classes of either rich or poor do not exist and that transposition from one position in life to the other is a common experience within the reach of every man of energy, ability, thrift, and courage. The Republican party understands, that great business enterprises cannot be un-1 dertaken or carried on without largo accumu-l lations of capital; it does not therefore seek to destroy these accumulations or the encourage ment for investment in productive enterprise, by demagogical assaults upon property. It does not wish to bring to the American people the destructive experience to all elements of the population, most of all to those depend ent upon employment for a living, involved in preventing or discouraging investment in pro ductive enterprises. It understands that all taxes are ultimately paid by all the people in costs of production, and does not resort to the dishonest expedient of trying to make the; masses believe that the rich can be “soaked”, without the rest of the people taking a part of the blow. It believes in individual initiative and personal or corporate enterprise and that the politician or party that strikes at either aims a blow at the welfare of all the American people. It does not want the American people to have to take another lesson in the hard school of experience as the result of being deluded by demagagues and theorists into thinking that attacks upqn honest industry, no matter how big or little, represent a contribution to public good. The Republican party docs not believe in increasing the exactions and interferences of government, already carried to a point where the government’s hands are constantly in every man’s pocket and its nose in every man’s bus iness. It warns the American people that the approach toward despotic political control and' operation of business is fraught with danger,! and may result, if persisted in, in the collapse' of industry,—a result actually desired by many of the demagogues now assailing industry in the belief that the overthrow of the capitalist system would pave the way for the introduction • of European state socialism and a state whose ' sitizens will be slaves of the politicians who control the machinery of government. The Republican party should boldly proclaim its belief in legitimate American business en terprise, and its purpose to defend and foster, ' rather than to discourage or destroy invest- 1 ment in productive enterprise which furnishes ’ employment, supplies the needs, and adds to the 1 comfort of the American millions, while build- ’ ing up the sum total of diffused national wealth. , Through Discrimination What is protection but discrimination? Our protective tariff places a duty on competing < foreign products not merely to raise revenue but . to force competing products to enter our mar- . kets at a cost equivalent to the costs of similar ( American products. Kurely this is a plain, open , and undeniable discrimination, against foreign j products and in favor of American producis. . Call it whatever you like, when analyzed, it ; means protection through discrimination. It ■ preserves the home market for the home pro- ( ducts, to the extent that the protection is suffi cient. ( It used to be said that our tariff discrimina tion would surely lend to retaliation on the part of our foreign rivals. Protectionists were sol emnly warned that rtetnlint|on would surely follow and so offset our discriminatory protec tion against competing foreign products in fa vor of home products. Protectionists, how ever, persisted. They defied those who predict-' cd retaliation. And our protective tariffs! have prevailed without noticeable retaliation to that form of discrimination. The fears that would have prevented the timid from discrim inating in favor of our home products proved in actual practice to be utterly unfounded. In earlier years we protected American ships in that name wny, through tariff discrimination, increasing duties on imports in foreign vessels We then were told Mint such discriminations were surely leading to retaliation. But our great patriots of early days persisted and in n discriminatory wny applied protection to our ships, without noticeable retaliation by our! foreign rivals. Under this policy our ship-1 ping flourished amazingly. i n quality and accomplishment it was unequalled. But in I an evil day we suspended— wp did not abandon - thjs ships protection, and by terminable trade! treaties bound ourselves to refrain from such discriminatory protection in favor of our ships in foreign trade. At once we began to lose our shipping, our people finding themselves unable to compete under free trade with foreign ships, and so our shipping in foreign trade all but, vanished before the beginning of the world war. Forced by the exigencies of war the United States suddenly built a vast number of ocean going freight ships. With the war’s cessation we found this large fleet not a national asset, as we at first supposed, but a national liability it has since become, because of the tremendous and almost unprecedented drop in the movement of ocean freights. There are at this time many more merchant ships in the world than there is use for, and as long as that continues freight | rates will be low. The government wants to sell it* ships to private citizens to avoid the losses incurred through their operation. But private citizens will not buy these ships merely to suffer the I loss of their investment, because such loss would be inevitable so long as our ships are unprotect ed. The need of protection for our ships in foreign trade is just as necessary now as it was at any time in our history; but the government seems unable to settle upon a practical policy of protection. Protection through discrimination —through tariff —so successfid m earlier years, when we had a large and prosperous merchant marine, is no longer applicable the state depart ment says, because we agreed, by treaty, not again to resort to that method. The state department does not deny that when discriminatory protection was in force, in pre-Civil War days, we had a prosperous mer chant marine. And yet, although in entering • into these treaties we carefully reserved the right to withdraw* from them, lhe state depart ment in effect tells us that it would bo dishon orable for us to attempt, again, to do what we agreed, w’ith limitations, not to do. Congress has, by law, declared that it desires to be free of the restraint imposed by these ter minable trade treaties. But the state depart ment seeks to make new treaties, irrevocable for ten years, that would still restrain us from ap plying discriminatory protection —protection through the tariff —to our ships. Happily for the Unit’d States the senate, whose consent by a two-thirds vote is necessary for the ratifica tion of treaties, has shown a more patriotic and commendable unwillingness to adopt new trade treaties that would restrain the United States from discriminatory protection of its shipping, that is to say, protection of our shipping through tariff provisions, precisely as was done in the I earlier years with a success so marked and so prolonged that for over sixty years over eighty per cent of our entire foreign commerce was carried in American nliips. We do not wonder that foreign governments desire -to prevent us from reapplying that early successful policy, but we cannot understand the singular desire the state department manifests to protect foreign ships by preventing protection <o .Amer ican ships. The Wheeler Case The oil company with which Senator Wheeler identified himself as after he had been elected to the senate was a crooked oil ; company baned on fraudulent government claims. This was known to Senator Wheeler, because the only important litigation of the company in which he appeared was in answer to charges by a member of the gompany that it was using the mails to defraud and held fraudulent oil permits—facts which are now admitted. Despite his appijarance in this case involving the fraudulent permits, Senator Wheeler denied on the witness stand that he knew anything about these permits. Four men were present at the clandestine conference at which Wheeler’s agreement to “fix” the company’s fraudulent permits was discussed. These jvere Wheeler and Campbell, both now under indictment; Rhea, field superin tendent of the company, and Glosser, secretary to Campbell. Both Glosser and Rhea, disin terested witnesses, testified that at this meeting Wheeler agreed a part of his service to fix the challenged permits at Washington. Both would have testified, if permitted to do so, of conversations with Campbell on the nature of Wheeler's employment, and that Campbell had a brain storm in his office when he discovered that Wheeler was going to Moscow leaving his cases unsettled. This was competent testimony in impeachment of Campbell, but was ruled out by ths,senate committee investigating the court for indicting Wheeler. Senator Wheeler denied before the Senate that he had ever appeared in behalf of Camp bell’s claim. The solicitor and commissioner of the genral land office testified that he had conferred with them about these claims, a let ter from the solicitor of the land office jointly to Wheeler’s law firm and to the title lawyer of Campbell was produced, with a number of let ters and telegrams from Wheeler asking for in formation about the permits and stating that he was pressing them before the land office.. The SIO,OOO annual retainer to lie paid Wheel er was entirely out of proportion to the legal service it was possible for him as an absent sen ator to perform in the Montana courts. The claim persistently made that Wheeler appeared for Campbell in the permit matter “as he would for any other constituent” is completely de stroyed by the fact, never brought out in the Senate committe hearing, that Campbell was not a constituent of Wheeler at all, but a resident of Seattle, Washington. The witnesses in Wheeler’s behalf were his done political and professional associates, and their testimony was contradicted by the docu mentary evidence Introduced. The permits being fraudulent, having admit tedly been taken by Campbell after ho had se cured his full legal allotment, through dummies and assigned to him, the effort to put through th© claims constituted a conspiracy to defraud the government, and correspondence introduced that in one instance Campbell tendered a bribe to a government official. The indictment of Wheeler has been pro nounced fully juHtlflable by a competent and conscientious district attorney, by an assistant attorney general who went to Montana to ex amine the evidence before the case was presented by a federal grand jury, and by the present at torney general of the United Blates in a formal statement to th© representatives of the morning telegraphic press associations. Nevertheless it is sought to commit the Sen j'nto of the United States to the precedent of trial by a committe© dominated by Senator , Wheler’s personal and partisan friends, ns a substitute for legal trial by the courts, and an | attempt is being made by such unprecedented | procedure to break down and discredit the gov- I ernment s case against a senator in advance of a judicial hearing. Cbe Caaper S?afTt» Crftuinr The Great Rally to Coolidge . PORTLAND OREGONIAN. Some one thought Is certainly moving the people when state after state turns from voluble pretenders and stiff-necked moral reformers and says by enormous majorities: “We want Coo’ldge.” For the pree-1 dent Is not the kind of man for whom people become enthusiastic, for whom they form a sort of mass affection, to whom they ascribe per sonal magnetism. Ho Is a square, straightforward, hardworking, clear thinking careful, but courageous cit izen that thinks out what he ought to do, then does It without any out burst of oratory, without denuncia tion of those with whom he happens to disagree. The direct primary vote In Ohio, Massachusetts, Oflssourf, following that in North Dakota. Il linois. Michigan, Nebraska shows that republicans aro ready to follow that kind of man. The peoDlo are weary of the other type of man that agitates the air with oratory to the general effect that the men who are running the government run it all wrong, that many of them are scoundrels and that the rest are incompetent, who Investigate without limit and who turn the government upsk'o down in efforts to establish a basis of fact for their speeches, but who do noth ing when given opportunity to Im prove on what they condemn. The people have been ao surfeited with words, the output of which has steadily Increased In each of the last dozen years, that they welcome to power a man of action who does no more talking than Is necessary to tell what he does and why he does it. or to tell what ho would Co but for the milling heat of talkers that blocks him. This is the contrast that Impresses the people In favor of Mr. Cool idge. They have been hearing for years alxsut progress from men who would have the nation make prog ress In a dozen different directions nt one time, but they see that all this real progress that is made is in the way of action by tho president, who does things quietly, without fireworks and with few speeches. They notice that, when a fire-eat ing reformer smashes a state polit ical machine and gains complete control for himself, the result is a new machine, the enthronement of the reformer as its boss and an en ormous increase of taxation. To get relief* they put in control of the state a calm, efficient man of the Coolidge typo and taxes visibly shrink. They find that the chief oc cupation of’ the word-weaving re formers is to raise hell and that the unrestricted flow of words Is al ways accompanied by an increase of taxes. They observe that the first thing Coolidge did after con gress met was to propose a reduc tion of taxes and to offer a prac ticable plan, but that congress is In a Jam among several plans and that taxes are not reduced because con- I = Inexpensive and Charming H T TEYWOOD-WAKEFIELD Reed and Fibre Fumi- Ed X X ture combines rare charm with economy, comfort E E3 and long wear because 98 years of experience have shown E S Heywood-Wakefield designers the requirements of the E g’ ' nation’s home builders.

Congress has been yammer ing all winter about radical schemes to relievo farmers, but the only practical thing has been done by Coolidge—to stave off old debts and to provk'e money for the farmer to turn to crops on which he can makj, money. ’ With admirable consistency the people have turned down the men who set themselves up as rivals to Coolidge, or who said he was doing the Job wrong and should be fired unless he did It In their way, or who refused to go right ddwn the line for him dnd to consider no other man for president. Hiram Johnson has all but disappeared from the field. Senator Moses was for Coollc'ge, but wanted freedom to vote for some other man. New Hampshire wanted delegates who were for Coolidge without a “but" and kept Moses at homo. Governor Plnchot was put on the Pennsyl vania primary ballot for delegate through the insistence of Secretary Mellon and of Senators Pepper and Reed, who smothered misgivings about bls. loyalty to the party and Coolidge, but he confirmed the ad vemo Judgment of State Senator Vare by Inciting senate Investiga tors to hire Heney for an Investiga tion of prohibition enforcement, be cause Coolidge did not yield to Pin-’ chot's Infallible Judgment- Seeing that Plnchot was (Ts’oyal to Cool idge the people by a two to one vote told him to stay at home. All these incidents of the primar ies point to ono conclusion. The people are disgusted with men who get themselves elected as Republi cans only to raise Caln with the Re publican party, with men whose con ception of progress Is to din denun ciation In the ears of the ano man who makes progress, to block his path with Investigators who long since ceased to r<eek useful Infor-, mation or actual corruption, and with men who will follow him only when he follows the narrow path marked by them. They have seen Coolidge take charge of the govern ment under exceptional difficulties, keep his head cool amid aggrava tions which would make a choleric man boll with Just anger, and put forward and carry out, so far as the obstructionist would permit the only constructive . measures that have come to light. They have seen In him the character that is most need ed in these daj*s when big placcti are occupied by men whoso chief qualifications are noise and politi cal trickery. They have noticed that tho self-styled champions of prog ress can agree only on schemes that Involve expenditures of more money therefore more taxes. They admire the man who keeps his head and keeps straight on his course while thus harassed and they are Indig nant against those who hound him. They see in him the type of leader they want, and they are fntermlned t that he ehall be president by their J direct mandate, backed by a ma- t Jorlty in congress that will be loyal to him. The primary vote is more than an ordinary endorsement of Cool idge. it is a great uprising in his favor and against the miscellaneous assortment of scandalmcmgering small men with largo mouths that beset him. , 7 led Osborne We should not Complain about Spring poems.
