The Republican Party.

From the New York Times.
1t was obviously impossible
for the Republican National
Committee to elect John T.
Adams Chairman after the dis
covery chat he had justified the
INVASION of Belgium in 1914 and
never retracted. The defense
that he only expressed the view
held by all Americans who hap
pened, like himself, to be in Ger
many in that year had a fatal
effect. Even if it had been true,
a party cannot successfully be
led by ar Individual whom it is
under the necessity of defending
and explaining.
Mr.. Adams, therefore, had to
go under, and he would have had
to go under just the same if the
whole committee had been COM
posed of ardent pro-Germans. In
fact, the disposition that was
made of the matter leaves the
Republics situation Just where
it was before. The Republican
Party has been divided, leader
less, and drifting. That was what
beat it in 1916. 1t sought to be
all thin gs to all men. 1t was nei-
, the hot nor cold. 1t held a color
less convention, at which the lid
was clamped down over all that
mems minds were exercised a.
bout. Tt carried water on both
shoulders there, and after the
conven tion it sought to win the
election without an issue, a
thing which never inspires CON
idence and never succeeds ex-
Icept in circumstance totally diff
ferent from those of 1916,
In Congress its nominal lead
ers, Mr., Mann and Mr.. Calm
ger, were devotees of the soft
pedal. 1t stood for no policy. Not
only on the war, but on home is
sues, 1T represented everything
and nothing. 1t refused either to
fight out the issues between the
Progres siveS and the Old Guard
or TO compromise it; it sought,
instead, to ignore it and pretend
ed it was not there, which is the
only . bsolutely certain way in
the world to make a thing worse.
The election of a Chairman
was the first opportunity the
party has had since 1916 to dem
onstra tie either that it had or
had no learned wisdom from ex-
perienc e, that it had determined
or had not determined to quit
marking time and take a bold
and decided step either in the
right OF the wrong direction. It
lodged the opportunity. 1t re-
fused TO elect a prof German to
the Chairmanship, but retained
his as Vice Chairman; so much
for the war. 1t elected to the
CHARM anShip the man favored
by the Progressives, but on Mr..
Adams demand, dropped the
PrOgre ssives from the party
councils; so much for the home
issues It is still true, as it has
been Very day since the day be-
fore the Republican National
Convention of 1916 met, that no

lican Party is going or coming,
