SECY. OF WAR BAKER AID.
DRESSES OHIO DEMOCRATS

Columbus, o., June Secretary Of
War Baker, in an address as chair
man of the Ohio Democratic conven
tion there today, declared the Re
publican party is IAN aggregation OF
factions agreeing upon no set oi
principles, and compared 1t with the
Democratic party which he said had
carried out a wise and definite pro.
gram in econmic measures, national
preparedness and foreign policy The
party will be continued in power to
mature its program, he predicted.
Referring briefly to politics in Ohio
his home state, the Secretary ex-
pressed the hope that the present
Republican administration character
lied by feebleness and uncertainty"
would be replaced by the Democrats
next year and that special attention
would be given to relieving the fl.
nancial stringency of Ohio cities.
Secretary Baker praised President
Wilson for pressing enactment of the
federal reserve and rural credits sys-
tens. terriff reduction, for upholding
American ideals in dealing with Mex
leo, and for steering the United States
away from participation in the Euro
pean war. He expressed satisfaction
that the preparedness program had
been moderate.
Attacking the Republican party.
Secretary Baker said:
ITO speak of man as a Republi-
can today Identifies him with no
cause, ascribes to him no opinion; and
it affiliates him with progress
Bives or reactionaries or both cannot
Ee told until after the national con-
vention in Chicago next week"
He declared that Senator Harding
Of Ohio, who will preside at the Re-
publican convention, represents one
faction which believes the tariff
should be the issue in the coming
while other Republicans
'avor an attack on the foreign policy
of the present administration. Oppo-
'ition camps divided into those who
believe the administration has been
too bellicose and those who fear 1t
has been too peace-loving. he said.
"Then there is a third group the
Secretary continued, headed by the
Great Detractor, who, shifting from
position to position on the nations
'oreign policy, selects at each time
whatever vantage point |
seems to offer an opportunity for
making difficult the position of the
President and Congress
"In other words, what used to be
he strong, coherent, logical organi- |
sation know as the Republican party, !
S now, so far as it's leaders are con-
,erned, an aggregation Of factions,
on no set of principles, ad-
Tocating no national policy, the only !
common bond Of union being a will
ngness to pool issues to win. And
his party is about to meet in con-
yention at Chicago to select whatever
candidate looks best at the last mo-
nent and whatever principles promise

party, having lived through years Of !,

doubt and hesitation, with a central
philosophy sometimes more a yearn-
ing than program, now presents a
matured policy, evolved by great
leader, welcomed by his party asso-
ciates as the real expression of their
political ideals"
Secretary Baker declared the fed
eral reserve act, by steadying bust
ness and commerce during the trying
period of the European war, alone
would afford a record for courage
and wisdom upon which the party
could confidently appeal to the coun-
try" 1t has eliminated the power of
few flnanciers to cause panic, he
stated. The rural credits legislation
"is the first comprehensive recogni-
tion by the nation of the needs
and the rights of those who till the
soil as the foundation of our entire
economic structure" said the Secre-
tary.
Commenting on the Democratic re-
duction of tariff, Mr.. Baker said:
ITO the amazement of the faithful
the duties have gone down but the
dinner pail is not only not empty but
full to overlooking The high protec-
tive duty has passed to the hall of
fame, where it is placed with Doctor
Cook, and Cagliostro, venerable only !
because of the length of time men
rendered homage for virtues which |
it did not possess"
Mr.. Baker declared that interven- |
ton in Mexico had been urged by |
some American owners of Mexican
mines, some American proprietors of
Mexican concessions some Americans
who looked with longing eyes on
Mexico as Naboth's vineyard" Bor-
der disorders have been unfortunate,
ne explained, but the only alternative
vas war upon these people, who have
willed no act of aggression on us. to
invade their country, and to spend
years in tiresome effort, expensive of
ife and treasure, to impress an alien
on these people,"
Included in Mr.. Bakers comment
IN the European war, was this:
1t is better for the people of the
United States not to be involved In
hat vast destruction IL it can be
lonorably avoided; and second, 1t is 1
,etter for humanity for the United |.

SPEAKING AGAIN OF PICTURE SHOWS.

Several Of the leading film producing
companies filed brief favoring federal
censorship of moving pictures. This
brief stated that their support Of the
bill for such regulation is due to our
realization Of unfavorable conditions in
the industry. which can not be cor
rected by ordinary means nor by spor-
adic and occasional criminal prosecu-
of the business or by individual and
organized reformers." and goes on:
"Unfortunat ely the public is not yet
discriminating, and goes TO see both
bad and good, which are usually to be
found upon the weekly program Of the
same theater. Still more unfortunately.
the vicious picture brings the larger
return to exhibitor and producer. be-
cause it gets the money OF the regular
customer and Of the sensation seeker
also. This state Of affairs constitutes
a temptation hard to resist, and, in
fact, the production Of vicious pictures
Is constantly increasing. just because
they are more profitable. II the in
