Ss ik A Be TO THE RESCUE To bolster up a lost cause Mr, Wilson has set | Mr, Tumulty to the task of preparing a series of statements upon the League of: Nations question, that, in his opinion, will assist Mr. Cox to remain upon the track until the ‘race is over. Mr. Cox has not devoted a suitable amount of language to Mr. Wilson's pet paramount: issue to be altogether pleasing to the latter, while ‘describ- ing his circle through the Golden West. Mr. Cox has been inclined to inject a few issues of his own, | which he terms live ones, among the old dry league bones. é However Mr. Wilson may feel toward Mr. Cox's dutside efforts, it is plain to be seen that he is dis- pleased at the seeming neglect of his league and is rushing to its rescue. Mr. Wilson has said about all he can say for the league. Including many things not regarded as ‘strictly accurate in the light of recent experiences } in Europe, where the league is supposed to be working. Anything that he may now add to the general debate would simply be repetition and con- tribute no additional enlightenment. The league is dead. Mr. Wilson himself as- sassinated it. All the world except Mr. Wilson is aware of its decease. To have Mr. Turnulty agi- - tate the pulmotor in an effort. to revive it is labor'| in vain. The people did not come: tg praise the league, but to buury it. Henry Lodge has delivered the funeral oration, Maine has sung the funeral chant. If Mr. Wilson desires to say a few last kind words he would be welcome to exptess them, but no one will care to hear rehash preachments by the private secretary. Will Hays is expecting a new glory to the stars and stripes as the sun rises on November third. Mr. Hays can with perfect propriety add that the old éagle will have a new gleam inchis off eye and the rooster will possess fewer tail feathers. That will make things complete. POISE AND POWER. Montaville Flowers, meeting Senator Harding for the’ first time, gives us this glimpse of the Ohio senator: “T once called upon Grover Cleveland at Prince- ton, after he had served his second term, to invite him to deliver some addresses at the University of Michigan, at Indianapolis, at Cincnnati and other points. Although he declined to meet the request, he did it in a gracious manner and there is some- thing about Warren G. Harding that reminded me of that interview. What I am trying to say is: Sen- ator Warren G. Harding is a man of big dimensions and impressive personality. While serving as chair- man of the speakers’ bureau of the Progressive par- | ty in 1913-14, I was intimately associated with Theodore Roosevelt at the national headquarters of that party in New York. I have had. occasion to call upon Thomas B. Reed of Maine, derisively styled ‘Czar Reed’ because of his personal force. At Washington, in 1918, 1 had interviews ‘with the ; Earl of Reading, lord chief justice of England, spe- | cial ambassador to the United States; with Andrew | Tardieu, special commissioner of France to the | United States; with De Cartier, minister of Bel- | gium—all of these are men whose positions mark them as powerful individuals. I received from none of them a finer impression of poise, of dis- tinction and resources of power than I did from } Senator Harding.” | There is only one rational and satisfactory ex- planation of the high prices and the high cost of living prevaling since 1916, and that is inflation of the nation’s currency to an unprecedented degree. | | THE BAKER FAMILY. When things were going at top speed during | the war a brother of. Newton Baker, secretary of | war, hastily formed a company with a capital of only $13,000 ‘and the secretary gave him a con- tract for $3,000,000 worth of aviation supplies. | This sort of business brought down upon the Baker | bbe some unfavorable comment. the criticism that the secretary, with great show || of righteousness, cancelled the contract, So far, so good; but the secretary subsequently ‘renewed | the contract. Can you beat it? The Grand Army of the Republic has amended its ritual so as to read: “One country, one language and one flag.” These good old boys have not lost the spirit of 65 and they have given the country a slogan we can all: subscribe to, GENERAL WOOD’S IDEA. General Leonard Wood, speaking upon a sub- ject now grown familiar to most folks, places it rather cleverly when he says: “The League of Na- tions is an American child born while its parents were temporarily residing abroad. It got its first lessons from its foreign nurses, the English, the French, the Italians and the Japanese. Thtn its parents brought the child to America, but the } Americans refused to admit it into the family unti? it could speak the language of the Declaration of | Independence and the constitution of the United States.” Hon. Elihn Root has returned from his long stay abroad as the American representative in the remodeling of the world’s court of The Hague Trib- unal. In due time he will make his report to the American people. BUSINESS ACUMEN. What would you think of a transaction like this: The war department purchased from a New York junk dealer thirty cannon for $450,000 or $15,000 each. Admiral Ralph Earl, chief of the navy ordnance, testified that these cannon were obsolete and worthless and had been scrapped ar old iron or steel and sold at auction for $87.50. These facts are from sworn testimony before a congressional committee. They have been pub- lished in the Congressional Record. To date the executive departments of the government have done nothing about it, although cognizant of the whole transaction. In the Democratic jazz orchestra’ now touring the country, Directoy George White has exper- ienced some trouble in determining which one is best fitted to handle the lyre and which the ukelele. NEGLIGENCE AND DECEPTION. Secretary Baker testified before a committee of congress that during the progress of the war thou- sands of Liberty’ motor airplanes were being shipped abroad, when the truth was that ofly a single plane had been sent. It may be possible to find people’ credulou: enough to believe. that a. billion, dollars, may, be spent honestly in the manufactyte of a tingle doe plane, but. what’ will: they: think ought to, be ‘done with a secretary of wat ghilty of such: criminal negligence and such bald deception of the people? Chairman Hagens. has a great opportunity to develop a lot of high-class oratorical talent in that group of young Republicans who are taking so deep an interest in the Young Republican Club. MR. HAYS REMARKS. The effort of Sam Gompers and his fellow Democrats’ to convert the Américan. Federation of Labor into a Democratic side-show in spite of the fact that it is beleved a majority of the federation | members do not wish their organization to figure in any such capacity, has struck another snag. This time it is the International Typographical Union, whose secretary-treasurer,, John W-. Hays, has made a: statement saying that both Senator Hard-. ing and Goy. Cox have been fair to organized labor. Instead of bawling about poverty George White ought to demand a 50-50 cut with the sugar profi- teers in the thirty millions or so wrung from Ameri- can housewives during the canning season.

Hustled for his breakfast, First—where the work is, With the risin’ sun; No time for celebratin’ Till the task is done. —Atlanta Constitution. How will Franklin Decoy Roosevelt answer as a means of ‘explaining the object of his pomination by the Democratic party and to distinguish him from the regular Roosevelts? The: American people will never approve the conduct of an adiinistration that expended twen- ty billions of dollars and permitted half of it to | slip through their fingers.

The moral effect of having boys and sirls dance and sing as they dance to jongs such as “The *Vamp," “Give M An of You,” “In My Baby's Arms, nd other musi¢ with similar titles can not help but be bad, Mrs. Oberndorfer declared. High school boys and girls in a Chi- ago school were asked to bring popu'ar nusic to school that songs might be elected for community singing. Two housand .were submitted. When the committee from the ‘student gover’ nent organization had gone thru the ot to select songs which were suitable or boys and girls to sing together, but orty remained, and this was'the ver- lict of boys and girls themselves. i “It is time that music was put in the ame class as Jiterature and that it was arred from the mails when it is inde- ent. This is something which we can jo,” the speaker asserted. For the remainder of her address, drs. Oberndorfer outlined the plan for uilding up real folk music in America. “he old cowboy songs should be +e- ived and preserved, #he asserted. T° False teeth 1000 B.
