They act like children and cannot much longer be depended upon to serve a democratic people. Tne severest criticism that can be leveled against a democracy is the caliber of men it has elected to office. Look at the officials of large cities all across the country, steeped in corruption, graft and thievery, more loyal to gangsters than they have been to the people. A few years a go a man wrote a book, "The shame of Our Cities." Of course he was called a radical and instead of the nation taking heed and setting its house in order, it made fun of the writer and put out a book "The Fame of Our Cities. And so the corruption become more solidly entrenched with the results now so prominently before the people. THE PRIMARY Well, the primary results were just as we said to a friend or two that they would be. We said Progressives would get plenty of promises of support but when the time for action arrived votes by the thousands would stream out from the business section, the clubs and civic organisations, and defeat all contAnd so it went, enders who were not strictly conservative.

The Birds Still Sing cer-tai- n toWrf-Sk,,er- e de RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE. There is in the world a moral and spiritual law that works for nations as well as for individuals. There is a Justice, or Retribution that weighs the deeds of nations just like it weighs the deeds of men. Under that law no nation, or set of nations, may fight against righteousness and truth and hope to keep its place among the leading nations. Onee upon a time Spain was mighty and had a world empire within its grasp. That was the time when it sent its ships and men on eonquering expeditions to Mexico and Peru. And Spain would have created that world empire had it not been for her awful sins and cruelties, culminating in the infamous inquisition, the cruel expulsion of the Jews and the Moors. This undermined that nation and brought her down in ignominy and ahame. The nations of today should profit by her example. They cannot sow the evil seeds they are sowing and expect to reap harvests different from those reaped by unhappy Spain. Roosevelt epened V. 8. harbors to an beffiferent submarines.

Farley Hae Party Control Locked Up in Hia Own Safe It hee been noted, repeatedly, how the arms embargo debate has found many of the anti administration Democrats aligned with the President, favoring repeal. Moat of tho senators whom President Roosevelt ought to "purge from tho Democratic party believe with tho Chief Executive that the embargo ought to bo repealed. Some few of tho ardent Roosevelt supporters are standing against repeal. The Interesting fact ia that the intra-part- y row, among tho Democrats, has had no effect upon the aland taken by the party members in tha embargo controversy. And, thus, there has been considerable speculation whether there is to bo a healing id the wounds. I think there will not be. Tho differences seem too deeply seated. However, that may be, It ean be aid now that "Big Jim" Farley, who ia chairman of the New York State Democratic committee In addition to being chairman of the National Democratic committee, has control of tho party locked up In hia own safe. If he chooses to align n himself with the group, Mr. Roosevelt and hia follower are through, washed up.
