(Tes Associated Freee te exclusively entitied to the ase fer republication Af Oil ew deapatehes creating to Ii oF mot otherwies gredited in this paper “MAKE GOOD OR QUIT.” ITH a simplicity and force of statement he Mas rarely surpassed in the fulness of F physical health and vigor, President Wilson seeks to bring the country back to clear thinking on what iy he rightly calls “the supreme issue in the present campaign.” His address yesterday to the pro-League Repub- 3 fican delegation at the White House Is.a masterly appeal to the conscience and consistency of every Bs American who has been letting himself forget how much more is at stake than the election of a Repub- lican or Democratic President. “Shall we or shall we not redeem the great moral \ obligations of the United States?” The man who denies that this is the paramount question of the campaign Is false to his own inner perception of the truth, , He-Js false to the professed purpose with which it bis country fought the greatest war In Its history. He is false to those Americans who gave thelr fives in the belief that that purpose would be ful- filled. Whether he likes it or not, he faces the duty of deciding far more than the question which political party is to be in power in Washington for the next four years. r “It is regrettable,” the President says, “that the supreme choice of the present campaign should be associated with a party contest.” “As compared with the choice of a course of action that now underlies every other, the _ fate of parties is a matter of indifference. ia " Parties are significant now in this contest “nt only because the voters must make up their (st Ps minds which of the two parties is most likely ia to secure the indispensable result.” a ‘The indispensable result Is to make the United Dy. States an active partner in the greatest peace move- or ment ‘the civilized world has seen—to show, In the President's words, “the indomitable will and irresist- fle majesty of the high purpose of the United States, so that the part we played in the war as soldiers and sailors may be crowned with the és achievement of lasting peace.” To this achievement there are no several ways: “No one who opposes the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles and the adoption of the covenant of the League of Nations has pro posed any other adequate means of bringing : about settled peace. 3 “There is no other available or possible oA mé&ans, and this means is ready to hand.” 4 Shadows of doubt and misrepresentation that t fhave gathered about Article X., the President scat- * ters with the clear light of common sense. : The United States was forced by its own princi- ples into a war in which Germany had “violated the + ~ territorial integrity of her nelghbors and flouted a their political independence in order to aggrandite herself.” Article X. Is in reality nothing more or less than: “The specific pledge of the members of the League that they will unite to resist exactly the things which Germany attempted, no mat- ter who attempts them in the future. It ts as exact a definition as could be given {n general termsof the outrage which Germany would have committed if it could.” ‘As to the preventive power the League can exer- se to curb warlike impulses before they reach the point of action, the President uses what has been all along the simplest, strongest argument: “You will remember that the morale of the German people broke down long before the strength of the German Armies was broken. ‘That was obviously because they felt that a great moral force which they could not look in the face had come into the contest, and that thenceforth all their professions of right were discredited and they were unable to pretend that their continuation of the war was not the support of a Government that had violated ¥ every principle of right and every considera tion of humanity.” No sane people or Government would ever again start what Germany started if they knew in ad- cd vance they must speedily bring up against the com- ky bined moral and military force of a League of Na- tions which included the United States. We say “which included the United States,” be- eause, as the President points out, “the whole fu- ture moral force of right in the world depends upon tt er eg te |THE EVENING W walt a ewe ; the United States rather than upon any other na- tion.” Few Americans, even among those who oppose the League, would dare assert that, if at some fu- ture time another nation did what Germany did, the United States—League or no League—should not or would not act as it acted three years and a half ago. Have we forgotten those young Americans who could not wait for their own country to declare war against Germany and who enlisted in the armies of France and England? Have we forgotten our volunteers who sprang up like a host released from fetters directly we got into the fight? Who dares to say it would be different if the peo- ple of the United States again saw arrogance and war-lust murdering the peace of the world? Since the national spirit is such that the Nation could never be kept out of a fight Ilke the one Ger- many started, what folly to pretend we should not pledge our national strength in a way that will pre- vent the recurrence of such conflicts! Don't forget that Burope has seen the kind of soldiers Argerica can send. The fighting record of the United States troops in France Is the best guarantee that the more force the United States pledges a League of Nations as ultl- mate police pdwer the fewer will be occasions when such force 's required, We refuse to: belieye that even a large minority of American voters can be bedevilled away from courage, confidence and faith. in their country by party spetls cast In this Presidential campalgn. We refuse to belleve that partisanship can make them cynics toward alms they so lately and ear nestly professed, mockers of ideals they formerly held sacred, Ideals for which fellow-Americans $0 recently laid down thelr lives, We refuse to believe that Republican manoeu- vring and misrepresentation can muddle the country into looking at the League of Nations in a frame of mind from which it would have recoiled in shame three years ago. Not all Americans are mentally and morally shrunken, Not all of them have learned to jump like fright- ened sheep whenever they hear the words “moral obligations” used In the same sentence with “the United States.” A majority of them are still capable of keeping deeper judgments clear of transient influence, of measuring larger values by something bigger than party expediency, Nor have they all dwarfed thelr human'ty or suppressed the normal kindliness and sincerity of their feelings. ~ They can be deeply moved by 1 message from a stricken President still Indomitably faithful to the high purpose which not a few of his fellow-Amerl- cans have !gnobly forsaken. The one way to stand by that purpose Is to ac- cept the challenge Republican leaders have forced upon the country and vote for Gov. Cox. The pro-League candidate is Gov, Cox. The candidate of national consistency, coumge and honor is Gov. Cox. The ohoice between Cox and Harding is the choice the President has stated In seven words; * “Whether we will make good %r quit.” The voter who takes the weak end of that choice wil! have to blush for himself hereafter, CONTEMPT FOR THE NICKEL, bik Ye are not at all interested in restoring ‘the 5-cent piece to its former popularity.” This sentence from a letter to managers of the Childs chain of restaurants is a frank, clear and damning epitome of profiteering business policy, Other business firms profess anxiety to lower prices—but not Childs, The S-cent piece is not popular with the agement. “It Is bet- ter to popularize the 10-rent piece.” Childs mai reafémmended for the general run of the dishes, but in the case of certain staples which might earn the 200 per cent. and still sell for a nickel the policy ts changed. Childs is “not interested in restoring the 5-cent piece to Its former popularity,” The public has the final say, The public has the power to force the alteration of such an inde- fensible business policy, Refusal to popularize the 10-cent piece Is the public's one best chance, If Childs do not care for the nickel, the public can re- frain from even burdening the cash register with two of the unwelcome coins, Competitors of the Childs chain may well study the Childs letters The Evening World printed yesterday. \ follow.

Before a man can be entrusted with the command of a vessel he must go through a long and difficult course of training. And the men who get the important vessels to com- mand are those who show that they can handle smaller ves- sels competently, You are the master of your own craft. To you its safety and its ability to arrive in the port for which it is destined are the most tmportant things in the world. You dre given a body and a brain, about which at the beginning you know nothing. Don’t expect to make them do anything for you till you have learned to understand and control them both. Don't expect that they will take you very far over the troubled seas you must sail until you have mastered the art of navigating them. Go to school if you can, and as long as you can. Education is a short cut to competence. It is a means of finding out things readily, and tematically, without learning them in the hard and anseientific school of ex- perience. If you can’t get an edgeakion at school, however, don’t give it up and allow your ship to drift. . Read and study books: Get advice and counsel from men of experience. Learn by hard work how to do things, learning at the same time why they are done, Remember that Abraham Lincoln and hundreds of other men educated themselves, and made particularly good jobs of it, What you are interested in is the destination of your own vessel, which is the harbor of success. Learn how to take it there. Master all the arts of keep- ing your bodily health and bettering your mind, Hard work and constant study will improve you, and the right kind of ambition will enable you to make the im- provement count, Don't expect others to steer your ship. If you do, it will be their ship and not yours, and go to the port they want to take it to and not to the one you have picked out, You are the captain and crew, and upon your fitness for the work that is to be done will depend either safe ar- hipwreck on the way. eS rival in port or sh | terrarum™ (irom the oldest General in Europe to the greatest General in the world), was found by John Brown in the United States Arsenal at Har- pers Ferry, Va, and seized by him {es Oct. 16, 1859. | “That’s a Fact”’ | _ By Albert P.
