The Advertiser is not a crank about fast driving on the highways. We see no objection to fast driving on an open roadway with nobody-to meet or pass and no houses 'fit vigv. Fast drivers, however, should sld up when passing people on the roads and when passing holises alongside. Chil dren and grown people as well, are liable to Ste' out behind a building at alny time and cause an accident that .will he lona eiembered. The strike is the order)1 of the day. n'ury day's news brings out a new one. liudustry of every kind is being held up and the country is suffering heratuse of them., Tle fundamental cause of theim, as we see it, is the scar(ecity of laborers in comparison with the non-prodiucers. Boys and girls have beeni brou ght till to believe that education unfits them for ian ual labor and a big proportion of the population has quit it. The scarcity of workers has created a shortage which makes the strike easy to put across. There are no others to take the strikers' places. The country needs more workers and fewer sales men. 'With tile "old guard" in full control of the Republican party and a nominee in close sympathy with the vested iin terests, the Democrats have a great opportunity to win out in the com ing election on a safe and sane plat form of Americanization and a candi date whose sympathies are witli tile whole people rather than any clrque or) organization. The Democratic party CamIX)iiuibly . th Z l t on labor as laid down .by the labor unions, but it can offer some remedy for present conflicts which could com niand the sympathy and respect of workers as well as capital. P'rohibl tion and tile League of -Nations are the outstanding issues at present. Senti ment in the convention for modifica tion of prohibition statutes will hard ly be strong enough to place a plank in the platform. iIndorsement of the League of Nations with slight reserva tions will most prohably be folind in the platform, malikinig the real issues of the camaigi onl this all( the labor ue i.!A majority of the ''ei opl o(,Ofw lation wanIt om inhilid o it COVen111n1 of nationla lculate i hl toprl vent w all of1)I H. ll tdorsee th L a u <natwith tie Oi~ '(f 1.. l tmodifia-I tinai Oin Ste~i ipotn.Iiy. t S TiOl' cas has beeln ijelti( ~fle 011CC restI tilg li ii 1)1t ll E'l"i(i. tilE seonday in .l d-i It y 'rsiing '. ovcto o Thnslutr.
