But we may be pardoned if we accept the new treaty with reserve. For six years the very nations that signed the pact have been obligated under Article X of the league covenant to “pre- serve against external aggre n the territorial integrity and existing pol independence of all members of the league.” Even while the new pact was being written the territory of Spain, a league member. was suffer- ing invasion native Moroccans. The territory of the Hedj another member, was being de- spoiled by invaders from the east. Roumania, an; other member, was threatened with hostile arm- ies on her Russian border. Irak, mandate of Great Britain, another member, was threatened by Turkey in a dispute over Mosul oil. In the years since the league covenant went into force numerous other similar instances might be cited. The nations that have brought the new pact into existence made no move to enforce their obliga- tions under the covenant. Why should we believe ic: ed States through mem- bership in the league. Eithe would have to follow other signers in considering the covenant a mere scrap of paper or we would have to send protect Spanish Morocco, the Hedjaz, Rounmania, Trak, and the rest. from ex- ternal aggression. Bee: ve have not seen fit to assume those obligations, Davis accuses Re- publicans of refusing to do their part toward world rehabilitation. He insults his own intelli- gence, for he must know that through the Dawes plan, American aid to starving Russia, the Wash- ington armaments conference, our influence with Latin-American republics, and in numerous oth- er ways, the United States has made its force felt for world peace more than any other nation on earth and far more than it could have done had it been hampered by league requirements. Fifty Bucks Per Farm If the farmers of the United States realized the direct consequences to them, it is extremely doubtful if one of them would support the can- didate for the presidency now running op a plat- form having for one of its planks the govern- ment ownership of the railroads Forgetting for the moment the awful mess and the terrific loss, despite the enormous increases in rates, which resulted from the government's s during and after the is well to remember that the railroads taxes to ugricultural states and coun which they would pay if they were the federal government. If the rail roads were the property of the federal govern ment they would be exempt from state and local taxation, just as a postoffice building is ex empt. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, lowa and Kan sas—all agricultural states—received in taxes from the railroads last year more than $42,000, 000. Under government ownership, not one cent of this would be paid. The farmers of those five operation of the rail it r, ties, owne: great agricultural states would have added to their taxes the amount formerly derived from the railroads. In some of these states, the addi- tional charge against each farm would be close to $50 annually. And this takes no account of additional fed- eral taxes that would have to be levied to pay terest on the loan that must be floated if the United States is to buy the railroads. Common Sense and Visionary Promise President Coolidge talked common sense to his Philedalphia audience—unadorned and unemo- tional common sense. The value of such a speech is that it helps peo- ple to think and to think clearly. “With railways and electrical utilities under political control, the domination of a group would be so firmly entrenched in the whole direction of our government that the privilege of citizenship for the rest of the people would consist largely in the payment of taxes.” The president’s words are an admirable summing up of the inevitable po- litical consequence. What we saw when congress cowered before the railroad brotherhoods and passed the Adamson law would become the nor mal situation at Washington. A bureaucracy, supported by millions of government employes, and holding, the life of the nation in its hands by control of its arteries of trade and natural sources of mechanical power, could convert the rest of us into mere supplicants for mercy, pay- ing compulsory tribute to our masters. “The nationalization af all industry could soon be expected,” declares the president, and if anyone thinks he is exaggerating the danger let -him ask-himself why Debs and Hillquit and Berger ye tied the Socialist party to the LaFollette gram and ticket. The president is relying upon the common sense of the voters. He is appealing calmly and co- gently to their reason. He and his associates on the ticket aye holding firnfly to the real issues in the campaign and talking sound, fundamental Americanism. pr Fancy Theories Ida May Tarbell, who boasts that she was born a Republican, but who has been a con- sistent anti-tariff Democrat for many years, has written mpiign letter in support of John W. Davis, in which she declares that “the tariff must be jerked out” as the “king pin log in the privilege jam.” Miss Tarbell is a biographer of Abraham Lin- colin, and has not portrayed him as an advocate of “special privil Lincoln's first declara- tion of pe al candid containéd nothing but the statement that he believed in iternal im- provements and a high protective tariff.” Miss Varbell has not yet muckraked George Washing: ton, The first bill he signed as president of the a United utes wis a tariff measure which an- nounced its preamble that it wis a protective tariff measure, Neither Washington nor Lincoln shared the wisdem of Miss Tarbell which is r her theory that “the tariff is a pr ing the people and befuddling sible for e delud. Miss Tarbell is an anti-prot an | intern list. In other words ation- alist, and a league of nations propagandist. All abuses in distribution, including monopoly avd profitee arges t®@ the tariff. Yet these abuses 3 auntly in non-protec- tive as in protective nations. They existed more flagrantly under the recent Democratic admin- other period in American history. The more flagrantly in the case of commodit on the free list than in the ease of article; protected list; as a little resear hell would readily reyeal. On the other hand, in this country, so cursed by the exactions of predatory plutocracy in the opinion of Miss Tarbell and other free traders, our standards of living for the masses are so high that we have to rear exclusive immigration walls to keep the workers of the rest of the world from rushing into our country in such numbers that our civilization would be submerged. And uo worker emigrates from,this country to any other country in order to better his condition. We have had two experiences in the effects of “tariff reform” along the Tarbell-Davis lines during the last ten years, in 1914 before the war and in 1920 after the war, under the Underwood law. People whose memories are in good work- ing order know that the practical effect of, these tariff revisions reduce to absurdity the claims of those who advocate tariff revision as an econ- omic cure-all. Cold facts, a part of the painfully recalled ex- perience of the Anierican people, are worth any number of columns of lurid rhetoric about the down-trodden state of the American farmer and factory worker, in whom Miss Tarbell, in her campalen letter, expresses such a heated inter- est. His Inconsistency Democratic presidential candidate Davis ar- gues against the protective tariff on the ground that it makes it impossible for foreign countries to pay their debts to the United States, amount- to about $10,000,000,000 and interest, including Great Britain’s debt that has been refunded. The same candidate, Mr. Davis, is in favor of a cancellation of the debts owing this nation on the theory that payment in goods would jeopard- ize American industries. Candidate Davis is willing to lower the tariff in order that more foreign merchandise may come into this country in settlement of foreign debts, As an internationalist he is in favor of cancella- tion of the debts ostensibly to save American in- dustries. . Is not the reason for the latter position the fact that some American private investors have in- yested from $10,000,000,000 to $12,000,000,000 European securities, and are afraid they may not be paid if the United States government in- sists upon payment of the amount owing the goy- ernment from Europeon countries? If the collection of these debts offers so much ruin to the United States, why do the countries of Europe insist upon collecting the debts owing them from Germany? The protectionists in the United States believe the debts can be and should be collected, without sturbing the protective tariff. The®Working Dollar When one invests in a local public utility, he puts his money where he can see it work, he helps pay the profits to himself, he builds up his own ion of the country where others do not care whether it is ever built up. It may look safe and easy to buy cheap tax-free public bonds and dodge xes and responsibility, but only the industrial dollar takes off its coat and actually works for ‘ny man’s community. The tax-free public bond ‘s a white-collar exquisite; the industrial bond is Tohnny-on-the-spot when the comntunity needs a boost. Che Casnet Daily Tribune After Brookhart Down in Iowa Republicans are after the scalp of Smith Brookhart, who was nominated onsthe Repub- Hican ticket at the primaries for United States senate, and has since declared for LaFollette and Wheeler, and before so doing, criticised Presi- dent Coolidge and demanded that General Dawes be removed from the Republican national ticket as the candidate for vice president and Senator Norris of Nebraska be sub- stituted. Brookhart is not only a traitor to the party that has honored him in the past but is a howling al of the rankest type. He has ommitted so many vile acts of assassination of the Republican party, that the Republican state committee of Iowa repudiated him and recently read him out of the Republican party. So disgusted, did Republicans over the state become that they induced Hon. Luther Brewer of Cedar Rapids, to become a candidate for senator on an independent ticket. The Democrats nominated Hon. Daniel F. Steck of Ottumwa. This made a triangular fight with chances of Brookhart winning, the other two candidates dividing the conser- vative vote. Now Mr. Brewer has withdrawn his candidacy and Re- publicans are endorsing Mr. Steck, and the Republican newspapers have taken up Steck’s candidacy with a view of electing him and driving Brookhart and Brookhart- ism from Iowa forever. The Ottumwa Daily Courter, one of the soundest and ablest Repub- ican newspapers of the state, ad- Republicans to vote for Steck d thus sp S on the general ibject: The withdrawal of Luther Brewer om the senatorial race in Iowa leaves open the path to victory for Daniel F. Steck of Ottumwa, Demo- cratic nominee and loyal exponent of the principles of Americanism. * “Republicans need make no apology for voting for Mr. Steck. The race is between him and Smith Wildman Brookhart, radical echo of LaFollette's demand for scrapping the constitution of the United States. There is no Republican candidate for the senate in Iowa this yes Republicans are con- fronted with the task of choosing between Mr. Steck, who believes in upholding the constitution, and sokhart, who has joined with the lalists, enemies of the govern- ment, to support LaFollette. “Mr, Steck is a Democrat, and Iowa Republicans find it difficult to vote for a Democrat to represent their state in the United States senate. But they, should find it far more difficult to vote for a socialist, fe Jrookhart represents the social- “i point of view just as does LaFol- lette. Brookhart has shown that his vote in the United States senate is not his own; LafFollette controis » the senatorial campaign in state narrows down to this : Shall the Republicans of give LaFollette two votes in the senate, or the Democratic party one? “The Courter believes in the prin- ciple of party government. It is committed to the principles. on which the Republican party is founded. If there were a possibility of electing a Republican to the United States senate The Courier would adv © his election, be- cause it deliev Republican party policies are better for the nation than Democratic party policies. “But there is no Republican can- didate In the field; there is no possi- bility of electing a Republican to the ate from Towa this year. Therefore The Couri for the election of Mr. Steck, notwithstand- ing his membership in thé Dero- cratic party, hecause his opponent is an advocate of un-American and anti-American doctrines. “It is unthinkable that a majority of the people of Iowa, after due con- sideration of the issues, could per mit themselves to honor with re- ejection to the senate a man who contends that the bolsheyists of Russia have a right, under inter- national law, to organize American citizens for revolution against the American government, and to de- stroy our government if they can. That is the declaration Brookhart made on the floor of the United States senate last January. Could anything be more anti-Americar than that? “Brookhart favors government ownership of railroads, a socialistic proposal. . “Mr. Steck opposes. socialism in every form. He opposes govern- ment ownership of railroads. He opposes the injection of bolshevism into American Ife. He upholds the constitution of the United States, “Under the unusual circumstances which have arisen in Iowa ‘during the present campaign, The Courier advocates and urges election of Daniel F. Steck to the United States senate.” Tough Cha; What is called in building con- struction the “margin of safety” must be in the case of the nerves and physical body of human beings ® very generous one. The common run of mankind seems to be able to endure more than one might sup- pose. We naturally asseciate physical stamina and endurance with primi- tive man. We like to think of the aborigine as sleeping on the bare ground with nothing but his war paint to cover him; as being able to go swimming in February. If he took it into his head he could run 100 miles a day, snatching his food —berries and roots—on the run; and at the end of this little jaunt he might be persuaded to make a night of it with his fellow warriors. After which came a wink or two of sleep. We haven't much exact informa: tion, however, on the doings of the aborigine. But a little observation of what modern man or woman can do may lead to the reflection that for sheer energy and endurance the aborigine wasn’t- in it with us. What would he have done with the roar of modern traffic pounding away at his auditory nerves in- cessantly for hours., Could he have picked his way through the multi- tudinous throng of shoppers in the downtown section during the busy tour? ‘The aborigine may have had the fortitude to run 100 miles a ‘day, but did he ever go up,and down a flight of stairs 50 times a day, and ep and dust, and do the dishes, ad bake, and darn socks, and go shopping, and entertain 35 members of The Jolly Bunch, and have a sy dress fitted, and rescue his own off- spring from the pugnacious gestures of the neighbors’ children, and stew prunes and prepare chicken salad as if nothing in the world were as important as these two dishes? Did the aborigine in all his splendid vigor ever go through as composite a mess of daily choreg as this? Maybe the aborigine had a strong physique and nerves of steel, but the fact that so many of us seem to survive the day's shocks and strains speaks rather well for our own outfit of nerve and sinew. Judged by what he can endure, modern man is hardy stoc'! Unmasking Himself Republicans, patriotic Democrats and others who. do not wish to see the prosperity of the country halted; nfen and women who detest the soviet form of governmerm® are elated by the speeches that have been deiivered by LaFollette on his long heralded tour for, by his talks on the tariff, he has shown that he is more in favor of Europe than he is of our country, where high. wages rule. He has shown that he would break down the barriers that pro- tect the farmer and labor. He has shown that he would add millions nd millions of dollars in taxes by public ownership plan; La would create several million more govern- ment office holders; he would take away. the protection of the courts from the weak; he wold destroy a decent profit for the farmer, labor, dairymen, stockgrowers, cattlemen, beet sugar growers; in fact, he would bring down the wages of all industries; he would place the stand- ard of living on the level of that in Europe. People are now asking what laws of a beneficial nature to the people are on the statute books that bear LaFollette’s name ant his most ardent supporters dodge the ques- tion, they would be delighted to name some but they cannot, he has tdilked but that appears to be all. LaFollette is the best friend LaFollette has, he is the best press ugent that LaFollette has ever had, but he caanot convince the voters, for they realize what his socialistic theories would would do to ths country. That does not appear, however, to worry him overly much, but there are several dozen million American voters who stand for the United States first and last. A vote for LaFollette means voting for low wages, failures and general hard times. ————>_.
