Army. The European nations in time
of peace are amply able 10 guard
their own communities, and are not re-
quiring young Americans for police
duty, much less for any other tasks.
1t should be far easier to bring home
100000 month than it was to take
100000 a month to the theater of
war. The one task that is incompar-
ably urgent beyond all others is this
duty of bringing back the American
Army from Europe. 1t is due to the
men and to their relatives here at
home, as a matter of good faith. All
ships coming to our shores for food,
cotton, steel, machinery, or supplies
of any kind should be requistioned to
bring American troops, as condition
of being allowed to carry away goods
on the return trip. The expense Of
maintaining an idle army on the 9TH
err side of the Atlantic is very large
item every twenty four hours. 1t
would be asking too much, perhaps, to
demand the return of two million men
in three months, although that would
not be a harder task than some that
we have performed within the past
half year.-From 1.-THE Progress of

Not a Wrong Verdict

To be sure, am sorry that our
party was beaten. / am sorry that
Democratic President was repudiated
But looking conscience squarely in the
face, / am not going to be hypocrite
enough to say that the verdict was
wrong.
Never was there time when it was
so vitality necessary for the Democrat
tic party to return to the just prin-
ciples taught by the fathers. Never
was there a time when it was so nee
essary that we should locate the old
original Democratic landmarks. Tru-
1y must we learn again that the best
government is the government that
governs the least For ten years we
have seen not only the rights of states,
but the rights Of people, slowly but
surely slip away from time to time
until now we become alarmed and
wonder how much we are going to
have left.
