DEMOCRATS HAVE A DUTY
There appears to be a real active inter
est among Democrats of importance in the
nation in the proposal made by Clyde Her
ring, national committeeman representing
Iowa and the national committeewomen
from that State Madge O’Neil, to take some
conclusive action looking to the abrogation
of the two-thirds rule in the Democratic na
tional committeeamn for New York, dean of
the Democratic organization, has given his
unqualified approval to the suggestion, and
now comes Gov. Alfred E. Smith who also
indorses the proposal.
The followers of William G. McAdoo ne
cessarily must subscribe to the suggestion,
for they were the ones in the Madison
Square Garden convention who made an un-1
successful effort to have the rule abolished.
It is unfortunate that in the national com
mittee there are members who hold the
view that the two-thirds rule should be con
tinued because it has operated to defeat as- j
pirants for the nomination, and perhaps
these members will oppose any endeavor
to bring about favorable action. But the
rule is undemocratic. The will of the ma
jority should always prevail. Chairman
Clem Shaver should call the national com-!
mittee together at an early date and put the
proposal up to the members. The official
body of the Democratic party should not
shirk a responsibility that it is its plain duty
to consider seriously. The time is ripe for
disposing of a question that has vexed and
embarassed Democratic gatherings for
nearly a hundred years.
Nicaragua is planning to tax every bach
elor $5 a month for the support of spinsters.
No wonder rebellions are set on foot. Risky
governmental experiments are too common
in Central America.
“England will pay in June.” It takes
more than a little strike costing many mil
lions a day to cause the English to seek an
excuse for not paying their debts. That's
why England is England.
A New Jersey man who preferred playing
a ukulele to fighting a forest fire has been
fined $10. He must be thankful he is not I
a harpist.
It is wonderful that this country and En- “
gland can now talk across the water by tele
phone, and we hope the English will try to
learn the American language.
Charles E. Hughes catches his breath I
long enough to insist that no matter how
much they chase him “I will not run.” The j
same conservative Charley.
Another thing which should make us Am
erican taxpayers comparatively contented
is that King George gets $2,250,000 a year,
vdiereas Roy Haynes get only $7,500 and an
automobile.
In setting the Judge English trial for No- j
vember, the Senate should realize that the1
country will have little time for anything
but football.
