HARDING MAKES PLEA
FOR A PARTY REUNION

CHICAGO, June with a plea
for party reunion. for RECONSIDERATION
rather than recriminatIon. United
States Senator Warren G. Harding.
OF Ohio. in HIS address as temporary
chairman opened the Republican ma
tlonal convention here today. AS
sorting that the country was "wearl-
ed afresh by n disappointing and dis
tressing Democratic administration"
and was calling for Republican relief
the speaker, before undertaking to
discuss political issues. appealed to
the delegates to forget the differ
ences which divided the party in
1912.
Referring to the administration
foreign policy in the European war
Senator Harding declared that 1t
had spoken with more rhetoric than
resolution. Mexican negotiations he
described as the greatest fasco in
American foreign relations. He paid
tribute TO AmerlCanism OF foreign
birth with brief reference to the few
zealots who would impuGn the ma
tons neutrality and urged a frater-
nifty Of American republics under the
Monroe doctrine. Advocating ade-
Quate national defense he charged the
Democratic party with having inter-
rupted Republican naval construction
and he criticised the army re-organ-
izatlon bill. He also attacked the
administration shipping bill. the eff
fort made to extend independence to
the Philippines. and made a plea for
a return to the protective tariff.
We did not do very well for
making for harmony the last time
we met" the chairman said In his
appeal for harmony. The country

make amends to our country We did
not divide over fundamental prIn-
ciples. we did not disagree over n

personalities. Let us forget the diff
fercnces. and find new inspiration and
new compensation in an united en-
deavor to restore the country.
Republican principles are in
vast majority in this country-when
the banners Of harmony are unfurled.

An Embargo ON Sense.

Those STATESMEN" by courtesy who
are screaming in the halls of Congress
for an "embargo" on our exports have
already given an amusing example Of
the effect of very successful embar-
go on their part through the absurdity
of their arguments. These have been
developed without any recognition
that the United States went through a
very sad and disastrous embargo per-
iod in the days Of Jefferson and Madi-
son. The embargo that Senator Gore
and his associates have already put
into operation. however, is an embargo
on the facts of political history. They
refuse to see or to profit either by
: the experience Of the country or the
general lessons Of the past Their
embargo on knowledge and common
sense is absolute.
AS the teacher said of Mary's lamb
after it had been TO Pittsburg "just
look at the blamed thing" so with the
embargo exhorters, Just look at them !;
they are spectacles that would make
the most fatous ostrich hide its head
for real shame instead Of fancied Sc
curity, says the Philadelphia Ledger.

with the Sunday Telegram:
Readers Of Sunday papers in Fair
mont are showing a growing appre-
citation of the Clarksburg Telegram
which is exerting lot of effort to
produce a modern Sunday journal
Those who read the voluminous Sab
bath offerings for the news are be-
ginning to realize that the Telegram
with its complete wire service, brings
to Fairmont much later news at a
much earlier hour than any other pa
pers that circulate here. For this
reason the Sunday sales of the Tele-
gram are ever on the increase.
Clarksburg is modern town in
many particulars but it has no ad-
junct that tends to impress its I'm
portance more than the Sunday Tele-
gram. Such editions surely indicate
that they are full abreast OF the times.

in that elder day" exclaimed Rienzi,
"to be q Roman was greater than
king!" Time was, also, when to be an
American citizen, in any part of the
world, was an enyiable estate. What it
meant, let a sometime caustic and hos
tile critic OF America declare. Charles
Dickens, at time when he had little
good to say OF America or Americans
wrote "a CLild's History Of England u
In that work he referred to the Ameri-
can Revolution, It's causes and its re-
suit. He spoke Of the United States
as zone Of the greatest nations Of the
world" and then he added concerning
it:
"In these time in which l write,
1t is honorably remarkable for
protecting its subjects, wherever
they may travel, with a dignity
and q determination which is
model for England"
Those were the Measured and de-
liberate words OF the man whose Wit
riol-dipped pen created Jefferson
Brick" and who never once uttered
a note Of fattery for this country. He
meant them, and his English public
and the world knew that they we're
true and were we'll deserved. Those
words were written, we may recall, In
1858. William L. Marcy was then Sec
rotary of state, having succeeded Ed
ward Everett, who had succeeded DAN
lei Webster. That was seven years
before william Jennings Bryan was
born. and three years before Woodrow
Wilson was born. We should dislike

the Allies to carry on the war has
added stimulus to war orders" that
the crest OF the wave OF orders has not
yet passed, that there will be fully
two millions more men on each side IN
line Of battle by next March than there
were last March and that the Allies
will draw their supplies from the Uni
ted States.
Thus in the same article In which
the Post assumes that the Democratic
party has produced such prosperity as
now exists, 1t points TO the real cause
for the partial return of prosperity In
some parts Of the United States. It's
declaration that many millions Of din

charities and the managers OF public

there was such an enormous demand

compared with the previous years.
And yet, the Post Is undoubtedly
correct in saying that mo party ever
in power in this country has produced
such prosperity as now exists" Ger
tainly the Democratic party has not
produced such prosperity as now ex-
lists. Nor will the Republican party
claim that 1t has produced such pros
perity as this.
Under Democratic economic policies
prosperity was distributed throughout
the United States and was enjoyed by
every industry and all lines OF enter
prise. Such prosperity as now exists
is enjoyed primarily by the benefciar-
les OF war orders, and sccondarlly by
those who derive their trade from war
order enterprises and their employees.
This is a war-order prosperity, and
such a prosperity was not produced
by any party. 1t was produced by
European monarchs who precipitated
a conflict unprecedented in the history
of the world.

Appalling Oversight

An appalling oversight Of the Demo
cratic administration in providing for
national defense has been laid bare.
Representative Patrick II. Kelley, OF
Michigan, q member Of the naval af-
fairs committee, has disclosed to tho
House that Of the nine dreadnaughts,
seventeen destroyers. thirty-nine sub
marines and two transport and sup
ply ships authorized by Congress or
under construction since the Demo-
Gratis have been in control Of the
House, not one is completed.
More important still, no apparent
effort has been made by the president
or the navy department since the be-
ginning OF the war in Europe to hasten
the construction and completion OF
these additions to the navy.
Why this neglect on the part Of the
administration to carry out the man
date of Congress to equip the navy for
adequate national defense at this time
In a resolution setting forth this
condition Mr.. Kelley referred to the
presidents recent statement that "the
world is on fire and we are daily tread
ing amidst dangers not Of our own
making and not under our control; no
man can tell what day may bring
forth"
His resolution proposed that the
secretary of the navy be directed to
negotiate at once with contractors and
governments ship yards to learn the
earliest time within which these war
craft can be completed, and report to
the House.
"The president has said in his recent
speeches that the country faces a
crisis" said Mr.. Kelley, land none
could tell what a day might bring
forth. II this language means any
