A “ER a political struggle, in which more or less “* heat has been developed, there are those who follow in the wake and make it their business to engender further strife. Not content to exchange sturdy blows and abide results as true sportsmen do, these must play upon disappointments and mag- nify impossible wrongs, inciting in principles and their friends revenge for wholly imaginary in- juries. The world despises a poor loser. And once a fair result is obtained it isgabided and unques- tioned. The fellow who goes out to get even with a rival for defeating him finds little sympathy and gets no- where. That is the outcome in ninety-nine out of a hundred cases. It is far more to a contestant’s credit to ratify the result, even though against him, and offer his congratulations and his friendship to the other fellow, than to retire to his corner and pout and seek ways to show the world his chagrin. It takes a big man to bear victory with compo-| sure and becoming modesty; but it requires a much bigger man to accept defeat with equanimity ‘Wruasm H. Tarr was perhops the best loser in history. After the tremendous walloping he re- ceived in 1912, for the presidency, his very cheer- fulness brought about a quick reaction and the country regretted his defeat, and he became later the most popular and best loved citizen of the re- public with no honor he could not have. | We do not look for the slightest friction on the ‘part of the men who ran so evenly in the state pri- mary, growing out of any question as to majorities or votes cast in the several counties, and we cannot conceive that any, of them will countenance ill- ndyised action on the part of any of their friends. After it is all said and done we are all Republi- cans and with the settlement of any domestic ques- tions we still have the common enemy to meet and vanquish. If we are not big enough to settle our disputes round the family fireside qnd go out from it with- out rancor in our hearts against our brethren, we do not deserve to wear the honorable title “Repub- lican.” Will Critics Answer? EMOCRATIC CRITICS of the economy effected by the present Republican congress, are calling attention to the large amounts carried in the de- ficiency appropriation acts for the fiscal year just closed. They cite these deficiency appropriations as evidence of extravagance upon the part of the present congress and the present Republican ad- ministration. The amounts carried in the deficiency acts passed in the closing days of the last fiscal year aggregated $324,757,458. Of this sum, practically one-half, or $158,993,112, "ras appropriated to the veterans’ bureau to take rare of medical and hospital service. Inasmuch as the Democrats criticized these deficiency appropria- tions, it might be timely to inquire if they would have refused to have appropriated this specific nmount had they been in control of the congress. Owing to incampetency, carelessness and other conditions existing in the internal revenue bureau under Democratic administration, $78,647,500 was erroneously collected prior to March 4, 1921, in in- come and profit taxes. These erroneous collections have to be refunded, and this congress had to make en eppropriation for that purpose. Democratic critics of the deficiency appropriations are very | careful to avoid mentioning this item, which is di- rectly and solely attributable to the incompetence of | the Democratic administration of the treasury de- partment. Under the Democratic administration of the ship- ping board tremendous claims were incurred. These claims are valid and have to be paid. In order to pay these claims which were incurred under Demo- cratic administration this congress appropriated $48,500,000 in a deficiency act. This is another item from which the Democratic critics steer very clear in their analysis of alleged extravagances of this administration. In order to carry out the provisions of the trea- ties formulated at the armament conference it was necessary to provide special funds for the scrap- ping of America’s fleets of war ships. This was nec essary because there was provision under the law for the expenditure of money for construction of ships but none for destruction of war ships and the perapping of naval equipment. Consequently, the ee necessary for this purpose have to be carried In a deficiency appropriation act. They aggregated $11,980,532. It would be interesting to inquire if the Democratic leaders in congress are opposed to the carrying out of the treaties of the armement conference and opposed to the scrapping of the war ships in accordance h the agreements reached at th rence.

Prosperity Is Asking Welcome | PREDICTIONS of prosperity to come have been! taking much space in the public press for the} past year. Opinions of many men supposedly quali-| fied to speak with authority have been sought and eagerly published. But here is a prediction not}! based on hope or “general conditions,” but on sta-| | tistical facts. Some New York banks went to the, | trouble to gather up the facts and present them as real evidence. According to these figures, bank! clearings in 165 cities are 15.7 per cent higher than | a year ago; industrial employment in New York state 11 per cent and throughout the country 15 per cent; pig iron production 17% per cent; zinc} production 84 per cent; copper production 20 per cent; automobile 59 per cent; sugar meltings 78 per |cent; electrie power production 21 per cent; build-| | ing contracts 61 per cent, etc. | These figures are the true index of what has hap- | pened in the several activities named and form a| foundation for the prosperity of the immediate future. From these facts the banks draw the obvious conclusions that rea] prosperity is at hand and only waiting the settlement of upset industrial condi-| tions to be visible. As an officer of one of these organizations puts it: “When all allowances have | been made for the clouds now overhead and for the great seriousness of the forces of disorganization as expressed in the strikes, the domestic economic | position presents pleasing contrasts with that pre- vailing one year ago, when American business was \at the lowest ebb in many years. To measure some| /of these contrasts is to gain the two-fold conviction | that business recovery has been substantial and} | that, when strikes are settied, the revival will logi- cally continue many months before reaching the crest of a new prosperous era.” Believing in the signs of the times, there is just one thing to do—speed the effort to get our house. in order before the arrival of the hoped for and ‘prayed for and always welcome prosperity. | | | Stand by Fundamentals | [HERE ARE THOSE who cry “Education,” be- lieving that it is the panacea for all ills, the means of ending all evil. There are those who vociferate “Religion,” equa}- ly sure that in the pulpit and its teachings are the seeds of the millenium and that we need but to “believe” to end all our troubles, and solve all our problems. Finally, there are those who mix their demands and ask for “religion in education or education in religion.” These are they who want the Bible taught in public schools; these are they who insist the pylpit is a forum for political, sectarian, scien- tific and sociological discussion. They forget, these enthusiasts, that an absolute separation of church and state is an American fun-| damental. Exclusive of Sunday there are 144 hours, in the week. In the usual public schools 30 hours a week is devoted to education. Why take from the 30 time to speak of the Bible? Why not take from the 144 hours not devoted to education, for study of the Word? What is Sunday for? For what is a Sunday school? Men go to church one, two, three hours a week. Why use those precious three hours to discuss books, men, politics, wars, crime, sex—all the scare-| head stuff that radical “preacher,” as opposed to} the sincere minister of God, uses to “attract” peo- ple to the church? 3 There is a time and a place for everything; a time and place for education, and for religious in-| struction. The school is no place to teach the Bible;)| |the pulpit is no place to teach geography or poli; tics. Leave education to the school, reintroduce re- ligious training in the home, give the church a chance to do its work and the schools opportunity for theirs, and we will all be better off, better edu- cated and more honestly and sincerely religious. To Be Speeded HE SUBSIDY BILL is to be taken up at an early date and Speeded to final action. No piece of legislation that has or will come before the pres- ent congress is so vitally bound up with the future} welfare of the United States. Even the tariff does not exceed the merchant marine bill in importance. It would be of little use to protect our industries |by customs duties if our export trade is to be han- dled by ships subject to the orders of foretgn owners | and operators. Never before has the country found itself pos- sessed of a fleet ready-built to handle our overseas trade. Never before the World war was it so im- pressed upon the American mind that an adequate merchant marine was indispensable as a part of the national defense. The measure now pending before congress is the result of years of study given to the subject by the foremost merchant marine experts of the country, and its provisions represent their composite judgment and that of the patriotic men at Washington who are devoting themselves to their country’s good. The money cost of the subsidy, held up as a bugaboo by the enemies of the legislation, is insignificant when compared with the benefits to be derived therefrom. No other form of national expenditure will return such a large percentage of profit. Difference Between Parties We IS THE DIFFERENCE between the Republican and Democratic parties?” asks ‘the new voter who has not given the matter much jconsideration. There is a big difference, and it is |well worth the careful study of anyone who has at ‘heart the best interests of his country. | One very prominent distinction is that Repub-} lican statesmanship keeps continually far ahead of Democracy.

It has appropriated every dollar it could for their wel- fare and it has seen to it that the Soldiers get full benefit for every “Lest We Forget” BY JOHN T. ADAMS, Chairman Republican Natianal Committee % When the Republican administra- tion took over the executive depart- ments of the government after eight years of thelr administration by Democracy it found a badly damaged and sadly neglected piece of machin- ery. There was no co-ordination among the departments and bureaus. There was no economy in the administra tion of public affairs. The Demo- cratic president had vetoed a budget law which would have brought to the administrative agencies of the gov- ernment some system and order in the operation of the offices and econ: omy in the use of public funds. Although two years anda half had elapsed since the armistice, Secretary Weeks found more than $100,000,000 in old war claims unsettled. Action upon a large proportion of them had not even been started by the outgoing administration. The department of justice had thousands of old untried cases on its dockets; over $1,000,000,- 000 in claims were awating its action. The several auditing bureaus cf the treasury department were from months to two years behind their work. Revenue laws were being fla- grantly disobeyed and millions of taxes overdue were being evaded. The state department was without morale, policy or standing. At no time in the 145 years of the nation’s history had the prestige of the United States in diplomatic circles been at so low an ebb as when the Demo- cratic administration went out of power. In practically every. depart- ment and bureau there were useless employes, there was lack of office dis: cipline or system, an enormous ac- cumulation of back work and gross waste of public funds in needless expenditures, The various agencies dealing witb ex-service men were a reproach to the nation, condemned by practically every organization of ex-service men as well as by tens of thousands of in. dividuals whose treatment by those agencies had been shameful in most cases and brutal in many cases. Although the war had been over fur two years and a half, the Democratic administration was still making enor- mous loans to foreign nations. The democratic administration had loaned $11,000,000,000 of the people's money to foreign nations without requiring either a pledge to repay it or keep up the interest or even so much as a written legal evidence of the indebted- ness. Moreover, during the closing weeks of the Wilson administration it was negotiating with foreign coun- tries for an indefinite postponement of the payment of either principal or interest of any of our foreign loans, —a postponement that would have in- evitably resulted in the cancellation of these loans and a shifting of the burden of paying them to the backs of the American taxpayer. Due to tho sudden withdrawal or restriction of agricultural credits by the Democratic administration, the agricultural and livestock interests of the country were bordering on bank- ruptcy when the Democratic adminis- tration went out of power. Prices of farm products and livestock were lower than the cost of production on the one hand while the most of liv- ing was higher than it had been at any itme since the year, 1916. Over 5,000,000 working men. were in idle- ness. The federal reg-ve bank was still charging seven and one-half per cent interesty. Business was still throttled by oppressive wer taxes. This was some of the wrackage lett by the Democratic administration. It Was wreckage which had to ba cleared away before new constructive work could be done.

From June, 1918, to the present time appropriations for soldier relief have amounted to approximately one and one-half billion dollars. The Veterans’ Bureaw will ex- pend during the present year $510,000,000 in behalf of disabled ex-service men. This is more then the entiré expenditure of the ‘United States in any year of its history before 1917. The goveru- ment now has nearly 30,000 hos- pital beés and it’has plans under way for the immediate addition of 11,000 more beds at an approxi- ‘mate cost of $3,000 each. There are now tn existence more than one hundred government hospitais. ‘These have 152 employees to every 200 patients, insuring adequate care for every ex-service man under hospital treatment. A recent re- port of the Veterans’ Bureau shows that it is paying out a million & lars cash every day, including Sun- day, directly into the hands of the ex-service men or their dependents. There are now 110,000 men taking vocational training at a cost of three million dollars a year. The women of America may well put their trust in the Republican administration to give the best care to be had to the disabled soldier. to date, cutting down pay rolls, re- storing morale in the rank and file of those who remained on the Job, getting co-operation and co-erdination among the various departments, es- tablishing a system and setting up a definite program in the various ad- ministrative agencies. Although a tremendous amount of work has begn done toward getting rid of debris and in repairing admin- istrative machinery, there naturally yet remains much to be done. Furth er improvements in quality of pub- lic service are to be made. Further reductions in expenditures are to be made. Further progress in construc- tive work already initiated is to be made. ‘To accomplish all this it is quite as necessary to have the co- operation and assistance of a Repub- lican congress. during the nevt two lican congress during the next two two years. “Lest we forget,” it should be con- stantly kept in mind that the legacy of waste, incompetence and misman- agement which was left the Repub- lican administration and the Amert- can taxpayers, was left by the same Democratic party and the same ‘Democratic leaders who are now ask- ‘ng that the people again place them in power. od The Nation’s Honor, a Heritage Two centuries have not yet elapsed since the first European foot touched the soil which now constitutes the Am- erican Union. Two centuries more and our numbers must exceed those of Europe itself. The destinies of this empire, as they appear in‘prospect be- fore us, disdain the powers of human calculation. Yet, as the original found- er of the Roman state is said once to have lifted upon his shoulders the fame and fortunes of all his posterity It was true of ‘ts government ownership is- It is proving to be the same with its league What it will trot out next no one so let us never forget that the glory and greatness of all our descendants is in our hands. alloy, those virtues which we this day commemorate as the ornament of our forefathers. Adhere to them with in flexible resolution, as to the horns of the altar; instill them with unwear- ied perseverance into the minds of our children; bind your souls and theirs to the rational union as the cords of life are centered in the heart, and you shall scar with rapid and steady wing to the summit of humam glory. Near- ly @ century ago, one of those rare minds to whom it is given to discern future greatness in its geminal prin- ciples, upon contemplating the situa- tion of this continent, pronounced, in a vein of poetic inspiration, “West- ward, the star of empire takes its way.” Let us unite in ardent suppli- cation to the founder of nations and the butider of worlds, that what then was prophecy may continue unfolding into history—that the dearest hopes of the human race msy not be extin- guished in disappointment, and that the last may prove the noblest empire of the time—John Quincy Adams. ee -stehden aes i You Ought to Know ‘That “hard times” have cccurred invariably during or immediately after a Democratic administration? ‘That they may always be charged truthfully to Democratic mismanage- ment?
