Charles} E. Winter thus speaks to his Wyoming friends: “Our government is a government of party. Or- ganization and the election of party candidates are essential to the life of the party and to the cry- Stalization of ideas and policies into law, I seek eléction as a Republican, and expect to work with and for this greatest and most constructive party in the history of nations, to the welfare of all the people of our country. The party committee, of which you are chairman, carrying out the free ‘will and decision of a majority of the party mem- bers who have named the party candidates, is en- fitled to credit and praise as the working. power and machinery of the party. “Generally, 1 believe in normal, sane progress in governmental matters, which means the solving of national problems as they arise, after due ‘con- sideration. No nation or people or party can stand still without going backward. When there is an e@ecasion for legislation, congress should act with- opt unnecessary delay, bearing in mind the wel- fare of the whole people, and subordinate partisan spirit whenever detrimental to the public good. “It shall be my purpose to give, if elected, all my time and evéry attention to the fullest extent of my ability to the business of the people. I hope to do the work of the office in such manner as will Teflect credit upon the party and on the state.” : W hy Rake Up the Past IS DIFFICULT for a publication like World's Work, to get away with its usual line of in- ternational doctrine while such militant Repub- lican journals as the National Republican are on guard. Referring to a criticism of National Re- publican Chairman Adams in a recent number of World’s Work, the Republican proceeds to read a lecture that will be good for what ails several other publications which are inflicting somewhat the same line of literary bunk upon their Ameri- ean readers: “World’s Work is a magazine organ of Wilson- ism which has not yet grasped the significance of the 1920 election returns. With other American publications under the control of journalists whose international relationship prevent them from be- ing more than European provincials in their con- sideration of American problems. World’s Work still helieves an adverse commegt upon the “achievements” of the Wilson administration to be a species of lose majeste deserving of nothing Yess than a-bolt of lightning from an avenging providence. World’s Work seems not to have awak- ened to the fart that the repudiation of the Wilsen policies and the Wilson record at the end of the second Wilson administration has broken the spell of the psyrhology under which a certain type of ‘Wilson organ was able to put over the idea that failure to accept every act and word of President ‘Wilson and his satellites was moral treason. “Consequently World’s Work criticizes, in the high and mighty tone customarily assumed by cos- mopolitan missionaries to the American heathen, fp recent statement of Chairman John TI. Adams, pf the Republican Nationa] Committee, to the ef- fect that the Harding administration inherited from the Wilson administration a national debt increased 2,800 per cent compared with 1913, with} f consequent annual outlay for interest alone each| year greater than the total cost of rur ig the government before Mr, Wilson kept us out of war. “Thereupon Werld’s Work wants to know i @hairman Adams thinks our war expenditure was unjustified. that is, that the Wnited 5 never have entered the {table explanation for this kind of publicity work, continues this Anglo-American Wilson org: The @aly other explanation is that it represents an at tempt to lead astray put sentiment which is grotesque not only in the proportion of the mis- statement thus sent broadcast, but in .its.assump-| tion of a condition of public ignorance which does his is the most char.| remnants in American politics charge power with a failure to reduce taxes Wilse the p in to the pre-war level. » advertisement Just pat out by the Demo- er National Committee, which. is .still within he control of President Wilson's friends, laments the ‘shrinkage’ in our foreign trade since the peak of war exportations, a ‘loss’ of seventy-five billion dollars in estimated national wealth since the war, cus he Harding administration of fail- ing to get ai taxes and the t of living back to the 1912 basis before the Wilsonians began to revise them upward. ‘Public ignorance’ in this country is not .so .d, despite the efforts of publications like s Work, that it does not k i ion of the twenty-three ‘ton dollar de t, under the Wilson administratica, for extravagance, incapacity and graft. Never befor: had there been witnessed such an-orgy of- waste and worse as that which was staged from Wash by an administration which went into the war backward nnder the leadership of piffling pac- ifjsts like Baker and Daniels. “The billion that went for aeroplanes with out putt a battle plane on the war front, the billion that as poured out for the heavy artillery with- out getting a gun across thp Atlantic, the billion for wooden and other ships that never anchor, the billion that went for political ration and demoralization of railroads, the bil- s that were thrown to the birds in pst plus went contracts , al times as many shoes, saddles and other supplie as ever could have been ‘needed by our army, the wickecly wasteful construction of army canton- nts on unsuitable, high priced sites in the south, destruction of hundreds of millions of dollars ~quipment through neglected exposure to the all this constituted a shameful chapter t, ineompetency and crime the blackest itten in American history, if, indeed it has oiness. . his infamous wholesale negiect of duty and rayal of trust by agents of an administrat wh boasted up to the moment we entered war that it was unprepared for war because it didn't believe in war and hadn’t anything to do with. the causes and issues of the European war, surely just- ralling attention, again and again, to the fact of this debt of twenty-three billion dollars fully tha nly realize! in prbviding at the seller's. price-sever-| lel in world history for stupidity and crook-| Che Caspe Daily Cridune Editor of Sunday { | | We Spor ture ¥ ng Editor of the New York ekly, dramatic critie and ed Dickinson, a newspaperman of wide experience, former Telegraph, editor of a motion pic feature writer, who has béen en- half represents a betrayal and exploitation of the| gaged by Charles W.

American people. “Publications like World’s Work, which helped in and egged on tle damnable program ought to be slow in calling it again to mind. That malodorous remembrance will cause the American people to overlook any mi§takes the Republicans yay have jmade in the herculean task of c ning up the frightful mess, and decline to ag: ership which made the people realize that when Sherman said war was, hell, he didn’t half realize the possibilities of war as waged by such an out- tit. “World’s Work, speaking from the viewpoint of the Europeanism it represents, also objects to the repetition by the Republican National Committe: of standard arguments for protection, complaining that they were also used in the day of Benjamin Harrison, Arguments for the protective system go further back than that; they were used by Abra- ham Lincoln, by Henry Clay, by Andrew Jackson! and by George Washington. The fact that such arguments were so used would discredit them with publications engaged in carrying on European pro- paganda, but despite the claim that protectionism is a-relic of the stone age, its recent adoption in an extreme form by England herself ought tu convince World’s Work that it commends itself even to the most enlightened nations, “The complaint of World’s Work that the Cleve. land panic of 1893 was really an inheritance from the Harrison administration, and that the tariff law passed under Cleveland had nothing to do with it, is a fnoss grown Democratic argument with which people generally are familiar. But the ques- tion arises, that being the case, why was it that with no change in the laws of the country except the repeal of the Wilson tariff law and the enact- mhent of the Dingley law, the armies of the unem- ployed were mustered out and prosperity returned, continuing without serious interruption until the enactment of the Underwood tariff law in 1914, when the conditions of 1894 began to repeat them- selves and in the ensuing months we had the sai experience with armies of the unemployed, bread lines and«soup houses until tie European war re- lieyed the situation, and put .smerican factories to work making war supplies. “Despite the objection of the jolitical supermen of the Wilson era and all their supers in eflitorial sanctums and elswhere Republicans will continue to call attention to the well remembered facts in connection with the Wilson administration, which no amount of sophistry or sentimental sob stuff from the erstwhile press agents of the new freedom can chloroform the American people into forgetting. The Wilsonians should devote their intelligence, if any, to the best means ef making the American people forget what happened under Wilson, for, paraphrasing a famous orator, it may truly be said that when that subject is revived, ‘the past rises before us like a nightmare, ” Let It Alone T IS NOT a subject on which anything new in the way of argument can be presented, yet at present there are mnny who are busily engaged in handing ont old stuff for and against the word “obey”. in the mazriage service as employed by authorized ministers and civil officers, Bhey have raised such a hubbub that some of the- higher church bodies have taken notice and are engaged in like discussion. / It is net at all likely, when the word was made part of the ceremony, that it was intended in its literal sense, but merely as an acknowledgement of the hubsand as the head of the family and the person in authority-as the law of the land recog. nized and as custom made him in the day before laws were established. It is the symbol of auth- ty given the man because of his responsibilities for the support and care of the family, the first essential of marital progress. Na more is the promise on the bridegroom’s part “with all my worldly goods I thee endow” to be taken literally. Despite its directness it cannot it ny sense be viewed as a financial engagement. The old ceremony is a beautiful one and a very ates should | sacred one and it should remain intact, and the ob-| Sea" jectors allowed to discuss to their heart’s content. Little harm can be done. The most ardent advocates of eliminating the “obey” will most likely be found to be female ex- tremists who will never have the opportunity to obey or disobey a good husband. And-on the other hand the fellow who objects}. to the “worldly goods” clause, would likely never not exist’ | have any and if he had would trick soi y “There are many Americans, with views on pub-|good wife out of them. eine! lic affairs not so broad that they run thin, who!

Changes Name at 95 MIDDLTEON, N. ¥.—An inmate of. the Orange County Almhouse, at the Jase of 95 years, after having passed through some of the fierce battles of the Civil War as @ member of Uncle Sam's navy, R. L, Livingston, who has never yot drawn a gent of pension money, expects soon to have his name changed to ‘Matts Green,” the name under which he enlisted, and recieve ja pension with back pay. | “When I enlisted, I was anxious to keep the fact a secret from the membera of ‘my family, who were highbrows, and so I enlisted under the name of Matts Green, which name |I bore throughout the war,” the old |veteran explained. “I am now very jeager to have my name changed to |the one I bore while I was working for Uncle Sam, and my attorney tells me I have sufficient proof of my)in- denity to enable me to haye the name changed and be able to get my pen- sion, which has been held off all these years because of the difference in names, I'have the affidavits of four lof those who served with me and, as far as I know, there is only one other ving." er Do you know that at @ recent don vention in St, Louis, over fifty 3 per cpmpanies were represented?
