Ui 0 2.25 15 i 4 g 2 ng ) ¢ ) Denouncing the Unfaithful Vermont lost no. time in reprimanding her unfaithful representatives in Congress, and here was no uncertain language used when she did it. The old state is-just as firm as her eternal granite when it comes to such matters as political duty and political loyalty. Vermont is the birthplace of Calvin Cool- = fdge. The people take considerable pride in this fact and deem it their duty to support him, take pride in his works, and protect his inter- ests, when they are the country’s interests, and otherwise do the things thoughtful and _neces- sary that contribute to his prestige throughout the nation. Senator Dale and Representative Gibson, both elected after Mr. Coolidge became President, were chosen with the distinct understanding with the Vermont Republicans that they would uphold the hands of the President and support him in his policies. When the first great emergency arose they deserted him. They had!consorted with the — blocs and things in Washington and were all ~ swelled up, and forgot their pledges to tlre folks back home whose shrewdness and far- sightedness provided against just such a contin- gency as confronted these representatives, who so soon outgrew the store clothes they had taken from Vermont. There had been no change in the Republicans back home, They had not forgotten the instruc- tions nor a; ent. So when they met in state convention the other day all the boys were ™ there. Their jaws were set and there was blood in their eyes. There was not the slightest hesi tancy. Not with those gentlemen. The Green Mountain boys whetted BPI spirit of *76 and called Senator Dale and Representative Gibson on the carpet. Then without any stuttering, or even nasal ejaculation, proceeded to denounce them as-misrepresentatives, traitors and un- worthy of the confidence of good, staunch Re- publicans who had sent them to Washington to carry out their will, and back the high- minded President which Vermont has supplied to the republic. About the same time the women Republicans of the adjoining state which the President had at one time served as governof, and of which he has been a resident since manhood rose up and denounced Henry Cabot Lodge as a betrayer of the trust reposed in him. And Henry will have to take it and smart under it as best he may, for it is true; and a United States, senator, or any other man for that matter, would be more comfortable in purgatory with his back broken, than to be beset by a crowd of militant and righteously indignant Yankee women. The hotter they make it for Henry Cabot the better it will please the Republican spectators who have no sympathy with Henry’s behavior. All of this is salutary. For the gentlemen guilty of raiding the people’s treasury against their overwhelming protest, for the Republican party as an organization and for all future aspirants who come forward,with ambitions to serve the people. The lesson imparted is one of honesty and faithfulness to the people repre- sented. Men must cease playing politics and play square. While the passing of a measure over a Prest- dent’s veto in no sense humiliated the Presi- dent whose strength with the people was en- hhanced by the act, it served to expose the actual calibre of a lot of members of the Congress and their unfitness to be trusted to carry. out the will of the people. ' Tt is to be hoped that the political parties of other states in the Union will follow the excel- lent example of Vermont and Massachusetts and reprimand their unfaithful members, ct SQRGGEEEACESDOGGONS Tage cEROSECRESELSSTERORORESENEESE Beware Over-Confidence Over-confidence is a menace to victory. The best advice that can be given in war ane poli- ties is—“Don’t underestimate your enemy.” Because the Republican party won the na- tional election in 1920 by a majority exceeding seven million votes is no sign it will win this year. r share of the party pledges EEE Ee in November, and canvassed by the election of- ficers, the only safe policy is to fight, and fight hard, and to win by all honorable means at hand. To be alert to repel every attack, from front and rear, from: both flanks, and even from within, for there are spies in every army and traitors in every political camp. It should not be a watchful waiting campaign; it should be one of watchful activity and purposeful ag- gressiveness. With absolute belief in victory. Overconfidence simply spells defeat. The Wheeler Exoneration As a fair expression of opinion in Montana, as to Senator Wheeler and his exoneration by a Senate committee, while he is under indict- ment in a Montana Federal court, the Anaconda Standard, the leading Democratic newspaper of the State, may be accepted as reflecting the feel- ing among Democrats in Senator Wheeler’s home. There is little question what the Repub- lican feeling is toward him. If it were permis- sable to print it and send it through the mails we would rather enjoy writing it; but for the time being read what-the Standard has to say: “The Senate has attempted to take the case of Senator Wheeler out of. the courts, and with its committee as trial judge, pros- ecutor and jury has acquitted the defend- ant of the charge * * * The committee in its report pretends not to vindicate Senator Wheeler of the chargé returned against him at Great Falls, but it does hold that he is not guilty of the very charges made against him in that indictment. -That is but a shallow and pettifogging distinction, and will not confuse the people in their judgment that the United States Senate in- vaded the jurisdiction of the courts and is undermining the very foundations of the government. * * * Regardless of the merits of the charges against Senator Wheeler or of his defense, there is a conviction in Mon- tana that the United States Senate has made a mockery of the courts, and has cast a shadow upon the whole machinery of jus- tice,” Confiscation Made Easy A ready means of government ownership is provided in an amendment to the Howell-Bark- ley bill, recommended by a senate sub-committee. It authorizes the president through the attor- ney general, to apply for a recejvership for a railroad in case of a strike threatening dis- ruption of traffic. The receiver would be a man “not financially interested in any railroad.” A strike would be the only thing required to have a receivership. Under the receivership plan, the receiver, “not financially interested in any rail- road,” would be expected to employ no strike- breakers, but the strikers on the most favorable terms to them. Why not confiscate the railroads out of hand and be honest about it? What would the courts think about this new excuse for seizing private property? Receiver- ships have been authorized in the past only when a concern is bankrupt and on a suit by a cred- itor. ‘ Bona kak er Stand By Protection Theodore Roosevelt had a true American sense of the importance of conserving national re- sources, but he seemed more friendly to German hosiery manufacturers than to our own wage earners and wage payers. William Toward Taft was never at ease. He seemed always to fear that the Republican party would be loyal to protec- tion or that the Democratic party would injure it too much. He chose a free trader for secretary of the treasury and wanted to give Canada a large slice of our trade. But whenever the Demo- crats proposed to cut into the schedules, he stif- fened up and was ready for battle. It was diffi- cult to understand him, nor will the historians be clear as to his judgment in such cases. In 1916 there was a fine chance for a victory all along the line. A year in which New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana voted the Republican ticket should have been a year of triumph. Had the party nm aggressive in its support of American indtstry we might have kept several states that went for Wilson. Cali- foria would have saved us, and the energy that would have won in California might have won in two or three other states. But the Republican campaign of 1916 does not arouse any great degree of pride, Instead of battling for a great economic principle the lead- ing issue, as we recall it, was to blame the president for everything he did, everything he did not do and everything his critics thought he night do or might not do. It was endless cen- sure, and not invariably to the point. The drift of events was toward war, and probably no pres- ident could have prevented it. However, no one doubted that our executive was doing his utmost to keep us’ out of war, and yet a steady fire was aimed at him. This may have'been a factor in his re-election. At any rate we had ‘an issue and let it drift away from us. The tariff of 1913 was a nightmare and a burden to its framers. It was their hope that something might distract public attention from it, The nervous talk about demanding the cost of foreign goods, the frenzied appeals to buy American products, the assurances that some how our wage earners would be saved from for- eign competition are all remembered by millions, Knowing as all knew that the Democrats were not able to defend their tariff, the Republicans did not in real earnestness attack it.

An injection of American strength ts prescribed as a cure for Europe's debility, while it is not realized than an injection of European poison is debilitating the United Stetes. Yesterday in both houses of Con- gress, the party which was placed in. power by the people, and which is responsible to the people for the conduct of the government,’ was de- feated in two important measures —taxation and regulation of rail- read labor pay. This defeat was accomplished by the votes of legisla- tors who claim to belong to the party in power, but who deserted it and voted with the opposition. Throughout Europe the curse of the factional system has well-nigh destroyed effective _parljamentary government. Ingtead of maintain- ing strong, responsible parties, the Our hearts shall be as steadfast As yours in other days; Our honor be as stainless, Oh, heroes ol and gray.

Ingersoll, a fa- mous American orator, painted a remarkable picture of the Civil war and a vision of the, future. Portions of this address have been published very frequently since its delivery, and it has grown into a place of its own among the utterances of public men which it will hold for all time, just as Lincoln's Gettysburg address has come to be held one of the politicians have broken up the pa Maments into groups organized for the sole purpose of plunder, Each bloc seeks its interest alone, at the expense of all the others; and goy- ernments can not function except through coalitions of groups which agree to cooperate only upon con- dition that their demands shall be granted. This is the poison that is perme- ating the American political system. Its baneful influence is more power- ful than is generally supposed by the average voter. The names ‘Re- publican” and “Democrat” mean much to the average citizen, but they mean litle now in the Senate and House. There is no longer any party responsible for the conduct of the government. If the people should throw the Republican ma- jority out of Congress they would not have any assurance that the Democratic majority would have any greater sense of responsibility. Insurgent Democrats, looking for individual or factional advantage, would desert their party as readily as insurgent Republicans have thrown off their party responsibility and brought upon it the reproach of betraying the people. The decadence of congress since the introduction of the vicious for eign bloc system has been very rapid. The people of the United States no longer have tho power to hold a politi¢al party to account. They are deceived by men who pose as members of a great political party, when in fact they gre merely members of a faction organized to accomplish purposes entirely at var- classics of American literature. A brief portion of Colonel Ingersoll's oration is here given: “The past rises before me like a dream. Again we are in the great struggle for national life. We hear the sounds of preparation, the music of boisterous drums; the silver voices of heroic bugles. We see thousands of assemblages, and hear the appeals of orators. We see the pale cheeks of women and the flushed faces of men; and in these assemblages we seo all the dead whose dust we have covered with flowers? . We lose sight of them no more. We are with them when they enlist in the great army of freedom. We see them part with those they love. Some are walking for the last time ‘in quiet, woody places with the maidens they adore. We hear the whisperings and the sweet vows of eternal love as they lingeringly part forever. Others are bending over cradles, kissing babes that are asleep. Some are receiving the blessings of old: men. Some are parting with mothers who hold them and press them to their hearts again and say nothing. Kisses and tears, tears and kisses, divine mingling of agony and joy! And some are talking with wiv and endeavor with brave words, spoken in the old tones, to drive from their hearts the awful fear. We see them part. We see the wife standing in the door with the babe in her arms —standing in the sunlight, sobbing. At the turn in the road a hand waves—she answers by holding high in her loving arms her child. He is gone, and forever, lance with the purposes of the ‘We see then all as they march| party.
