THE DEAD. Mr: Wilson, failing to profit by his experience of two years azo, when he asked the American people to supply him with another Democratic con- gress to aid him in carrying out his visionary plans for ruling the world, has once more taken his pen in hand to beg the same people to blow the breath of life into his defunct league of. nations in order that Cox and others of his party friends may emy broil the United States in endless European rows and line fence troubles. In- his. present appeal. Mr. Wilson exhibits the same inconsistency, the same unreasoning stub- borness that: have marked all: of his latter day preachments, as against his vacillating and uncer- tain policies of former years. His league appeal would serve more to arouse resentment and indignation than it would to. attract and hold those to whom. it is addressed: Those who hold a contrary opinion to himself he charges with “gross ignorance and impudent audacity.”” He assumes to have some secret and mysterious copy- right on all the Americanism, there id All. others are infringements. No patriotism is. genuine unless the name, Wilson, is blown in: the bottle. Poor, old discarded Wilson. He is the only per- son that does not realize just how far out of touch and out of tune he is with the American people. The only person who does not recognize his has-bee! situation. His case is. pathetie. ‘ He says /in his appeal: aK _ Those who.do not care to tell you the truth about the League of Nations tell you that ar- ticle X. of the covenant of the league would make it possible for other nations to lead’ us into war, whether we willed it by our own in- dependent judgment or not. This. is abso- lutely false. There is nothing in the covenant which. in the least interferes with or impairs the right of congress to declare war or not:de- clare war, according to its own independent judgment, as our constitution provides. The people have long since declined; to accept Mr. Wilson's. dogmatic assertions as true. They have. seen to. considerable extent: in Europe, just what the league in action will and will not do. It has in no instance been what Mt. Wilson claims for it. If, as Mr. Wilson asserts, article ten of the coy- enant: will not lead us into war, why, then, in the name of consistency does not article ten say so in plain words. Surely straight English language has not grown so scarce that enough could not be spared to state a. plain proposition like this. Ar- ticle ten states the exact oppasite from what Mr. Wilson says it does. analyize it for yourself: The members of the league undertake to respect and preserye as against external ag- gression the territorial integrity and. existing political. independence of all members of the league. In case of any such aggression, or in case of any threat or danger of: such aggres- sion, the council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled. Then again, if Mr. Wilson is so certain of his ground why did he object so strenuously and veto reservations that others, whose minds did not. go along with Mr. Wilson's, thought: essential to pre- serve our constitutional powers and to clarify the paragraph from doubt all feli concerning it? If Mr, Wilson ever possessed consistency he lost itrall: before he penned this latest appeal: Another paragraph from his appeal to further illustrate: ‘Those wlio dtew the covenant of the league were cateful that it should contain nothing which interfered: with or impaired the Constitutional’ arrangements of any of the great-nations which. are to constitute its mem- bers. They would have been amazed and in- dignant) at) the things that. are now being ig norantly ‘said about this great and sincere doc- ument, : If. it was. the. intention tg.do.what Mr. Wilson | states;.why should he be so insistent that no change whatever was‘to be made by the co-ordinate treaty. making power of the United States? The princi- pal signatories to the treaty and’covenant, the as- sociates in the war, more than once expressed per- t Casner, N: Git Exchange Bulaine |) Saiekishdaeeeaeneel And: once again here it is, | fect willingness to have it amended in any manner || ‘America: saw fit. The fact is, our associates in, war and about the peace table. cared very little about the league of mations, or what came of it. They. care'very little ‘at this moment. It was handed to Mr. Wilson from ithe bottom off the deck. Our associates were far more interested in boundary lines of territory, in- ‘| demnities and foreign colonies belonging to Ger- many. than they were in the league scheme. Being hard-boiled’ in diplomatic negotiation, they reached for: the real, not the visionary things. The league is dead» It is scrapped. And Mr. Wilson’s appeal falls upon deai ears. If there is to be an international agreement to disarm and abolish war after official peace has been established with, Germany, let it come. It will be welcomed; But. the two propositions are in no sense relatedjnor are they to be woven together. as "| Mr. Wilson has them. THE PEOPLE PAY. “The. cabinet. members. will soon be on the stump speaking for Mr. Cox,” suggests the New York. Tribune. “Who is going to pay: their. expenses? “You will find the answer in the news. Assistant attorneys. general and. others went to. the Demo- cratic conyention, in San. Francisco. ‘ “The San, Francisco convention was not publi¢ business. They did) not transact public business when they were there. “But they charged their expenses up to the gov- ernment, and the people: paid the bill; “Is it to be supposed for one minute that the cabinet members, soan, to use their positions and their influence—if they have any—in Mr. Cox's behalf, will pay their own. expenses? “Tt is not. } “Unless. the exposure of the San Francisco ex- pense accounts stops them, Uncle Sam will} do the paying. “Even if they pay their expenses. or pay them out, of Mr. Cox's twelve hundred thousand dollar campaign. fund they will be using government, time, for their stumping tours, for it is not to be believed that they will refuse to take their pay while they are working foy Mr. Cox, “And there is no moral difference between working for a candidate while paid by the people and going a little further and charging up railroad fares, meals and automobiles, as well as salary, to the people. “So far as Mr. Harding’s. interests are con- cerned, there should be no, objection to the cabinet members speaking. Mr. Daniels in Maine proved to be an excellent campaigner—for Harding. “We can, well'believe that: Mr. Burleson and Mr. Colby and the others would do. equally well—for Harding. . “But asking the: people to. pay campaign kills for Mr. Cox. and the Salaries of Cox orators’is some- | thing Mr. Harding would not) do—even though it would. materially help his cause. “The place for cabinet members and govern- ment officials in a campaign is on their jobs—not on the stump. § “The day is past when government employes can be turned out. to, boost. for a party without creating a public scandal.”” IN LITTLE THINGS. In. the little things, the less essential ones, the Wilson administration, in its attempt. to carry on | the war, showed the same mismanagement; the same excessive orders, the same_ irresponsible methods and unnecessary: expénditures. as is shown in-the larger affairs of war. A few instances, veri- fied by the records, are sufficient to arouse the con- demnation of every citizen in the land who has the intelligence and capacity to conduct:a peanut stand. We point out a few: We ordered 41,100,152 pairs of shoes and re- ceived deliyeries of! 32;227,450 pairs, for 3,513,- 837. men. We bought and received. 500,326. double. sets of harness and 110,828 sirigle sets. We had, in all, during the period. of the war 580,182 horses, of | which only 67,948. were shipped. overseas and 96,- * 000. died. We bought 945,000 saddles and had, in:all, 86, 41B cavalry horses. i We bought 2,850,853. halters. We bought 585,615 saddle bags. We bought 1,637,199 horse brushes. We bought.2,033,204 nose bags. We bought 1,148,364 horse covers, We bought for our ordnance officers 712,510 complete sets of spur straps, about 36 sets for each officer. We bought 8,781,615 horseshoes. We bought 195,000 branding irons. We ordered 149,456,611, hard bread cans and used: 31,500,000 during the: war. We don’t know what you ‘think of conducting business. after such a style, but it does not occur to was about, or what it was attempting to do. We do not think that there~is much of anybody desires a continuation of such methods. For. the solvency. of the taxpayers we hope, at least, there is very little. approval. Our friends, the enemy, would. have us believe that Johnson and Borah, haye: deserted the: ship. It is our opinion that the wish is father to the thought, and before the end. of the campaign. Messrs.
