A paper will be | ial messenge ‘our INVOLVES NO NATIONAL ISSUES. here are those who profess to see in rec’ local eee indications of a trend away from the Repub- lican party and a joss of faith in the national Repub- lican administration. In such elections as have been held no national issues involved. The questions settled were purely local and based largely upon the perscaality of candidates. The fact that a Demo- cratic mayor was elected over a Republican candidate in some distant part of the country indicates nothing more than a purely local issue. The election of such a mayor has no bearing whatever upon the attitude of the people toward either of the great parties. it was not a question of party doctrine or policies and merely a domestic matter to be determined as between) + two candidates as to who would best serve local re- quirements. __| dens of war. The only elections having a political bearing in their! the German menace on her northern and eastern fron- results upon the attitude of the people toward the! ¢j parties were the elections of a, United States senator} preparedness in that quarter, but in New Mexico and a congressman in Massachusetts, | proposal for armaments limitation consistent with her held some time since. These clearly indicated a con- tinued faith in the Republican party by overwhelming majorities for the candidates for that party. | o Republican familiar with national politics ha’ any ides that the Republican party will be able to re- tain permanently its present majorities in the senate and house of representatives. The election of 1920 has never been construed to be ar cccurate indica- tion of the division of public sentimenc in the pt oes ce ie tl States as between Democrats and Republicans. h overwhelming defeat of the Democratic nominee in 1920 was largely a repudiation of Wilsonism and a rejection of the league of nations, which was a for- eign rather than a domestic issue. Some of the Democratic nominee were the votes of Democrats who could not stand for the Socialistic tendencies of their party under the leadership of McAdoo, Wilson, Palm- er, et al. Under - ‘saner leadership some of those Democrats would undoubtedly again vote the Demo- cratic ticket. Others will continue in the Republi ranks, but it may very reasonably be expected th under erdinary conditions and with ordin: involved, the Democrats would poll a larger vote they did in 1920. It is not to be expected, by any means, that the: reaction which is sure to come will be extensive enough to enable the Democrats to win a victory. The people of the United States are in harmony with the principles and teachings of the Republican party. This is demonstrated by the fact that since Lincoln’s time, covering 13 presidential terms, only four terms have been filled by Democrats. The election of Wilson in 1212 was not due to support of Democratic principles by a majority of the voters, but was brought about solely by a division in Republican ranks which put two Republican candidates in the field who together polled a majority vote of the country although neither of them received as many votes as the Democratic nomi- nee. Wilson's second election was brought about by the false but persuasive plea that “he kept us out of war.” Only twice since the Civil war, and that in the two elections of Grover Cleveland, has the country en its support to Democratic policies on the issues as presented by the platforms. h 000,000 votes which made up the plurality against the a Quite likely that some congressional districts that are norma Democratic and were carried by the Re- publicans by ni margins may return to the Demo- cratic column. The number of these however will be few. Barring a us mistakes, wh are re- the least probable, the Re- publicans will ret trol of both branches of con- gress fo ears to come and will certainly elect their candidate for the presidency for a dozen years at least and probably-much longer. oo motely pos: HIS DEVOTION TO SERVICE. “Wewshall be prospered as we shall deserve pros- perity, seeking not alone for the material things, but for those of the spirit as well; earnestly trying to help others, asking before all e lege of service” —thus reads Warren Harding’s Thanksgiving procla- mation. Warren Harding entered the political campaign a year ago with that thought ever before him. Service is So him, what the blazing cross in the heavens was to Constantine: “In hoc signo vinces.” In his accept- ance speech he said: “With an unalterable faith and ino hopeful spirit, with a hymn of service in my heart, I pledge fid to our country and to God.” In his Labor Day D he declared: “Work is the supreme engagement, the sublime luxury of life: I wish I could plant the gospel of loyalty to work and interest in accomplishment.” And by work” he meant service. "In a front porch speech of September 23, 1920, he suid: “Service, a willingness to serve intelligently, to train for human service, to cleave to an idealism of deeds and honest toil and scientific accomplishment, rather than to serve by mete words.” In his address on “Social Justice,” sometime after, he said: “I believe and have repeatedly said that citi- zenship is based upon. obligation”—the obligation to e one’s fellowmen. ee his Cleveland speech of October 28 he said: “I want to bring about the greatest service that Amer- fea cen give to the world—the sérvice of an example qfa great representative degrocracy undivided ng i | constituted. | ington conference there is no doubt she would main- to that of France, although not so pronounced.

There is no country represented at the Washing- ton conference ch has signified a resolve to in- crease or even to maintain armaments as at present There is a disposition among all of them to join in mutual reductions provided they do not in- vite assault from their neighbors by so doing. Great Britain is possessed of a navy far superior to any other afloat, and had it not been for the Wash- tain her superiority at any cost. In fact, four big battle cruisers and several submarines of huge type ve been designed for the British navy, and construc- tion on many of them has already been started. But the spirit manifested by British statesmen from the moment President Harding despatched his invitation for the conference leaves no room for doubt that the delegates from Great Britain are ready to make very material alterations in their defense programs. That policy has. been emphasized by the delegates them- selves since their arrival in Washington. France has signified her desire to co-operate in every way possible in bringing success to the meet- g.. Premier Briund has informed us that he will use opportunity to advance the friendly feeling be- en the United States and France by cordially sec- onding President Harding’s efforts to lighten the bur- France has a problem all her own in hi ers, And can never consent to abate her vigilance and she will agree to any own safety.

Belgium, Holland, Portugal amd China heve no such direct interest in naval matters as the five great powers, but ‘they can and will agsist ma- terially in allaying the controversies over Far East- ern questions, and will thus contribute their share to- ward the suppression of war. America cordially re- ciprocates the good feeling manifested by all the dis- tinguished visitors to her shores, firm in the belief that it presages highly successful achievements for the armaments conference. Th sched ee ABOLISH IT, OF COURSE. The immediate repeal of the Adamson law is de- manded by the American Farm Bureau Federation. The law should be stricken from the statutes. It is directly responsible for the unreasonable transporta- tion rates, and has affected both industries and agri- culture and has done more to disrupt the economic} situation than any law ever adopted. Under the specious purpose of applying the eight hour day to railroad workers the Adamson law in reality fastened conditions of employment upon the railroads that had the effect of a substantial wage in- crease while reducing the amount of work turned out by each man per hour. The manner of its passage was sufficient to condemn it with all fair-rginded men. The war was on in Europe, and the danger of our own involyment in the conflict was imminent. Under those circumstances the very leaders who now seek to pre- cipitate a general rail strike informed the Democratic congress that the nation’s transportatiton would stop unless the Adamson bill was enacted at once, The flow of supplies to the allies would have been stopped, and quite likely the Germans would have won the war in the winter of 1916-1917 if American rail lines had been tied up. The, bill was passed and is now on the | statute books. Any law that comes into being under such condi- | tions ought to be repealed, regardless of what its | merits are alleged to be. We want nothing in our} statutes that is not the outcome of free debate, among} the representatives of the people in congress. damso ply the expression of the minds of | | the Big Five, upon which a compliant congress placed | its approval under threat of national destruction if it} | refused to do so.
