New-York tribune., 1919-12-04

There must be strong Federal regula-
tlon,. but not government ownership.
We have always endenvored and still
shall endeavor to find that middle
ground so we'll defined as between the
anarchy of an unregulated individual
ism and the deadening Journalism of
an inefficient and widespread state
ownership
"The railroad problem Will be solved,
and solved fairly. with provision for a
Just return on real investment and
with reasonable assurances for essen
tial development and extensions
against Pedagogic Paternalism"
eve are against paternalism in gov
ernment and We are against that form
of pedagogic paternalism that has de-
veloped recently in this country.
There is in this country religious
faith which believes in the divine ori-
gin Of the Constitution of the United
States. While we may not adopt this
tenet, l approve the direction of the
citation. The time is here when our
heel must be in the ground. Law and
order shall reign in this country We
are the freest government on the face
OF the earth, and our strength rests
in our patriotism.
"ln ak of our efforts the best brains
and hearts in the country are neces-
sary. Women are able to contribute
and owe TO the situation the peculiar
ability which is theirs. We trust the
women voters of this country to help
the Republican party carry out its
determination to require that the high
est standards OF health be maintained
and enforced; that there is a proper
compulsory school education; that we
have proper limitation in the hours of
work for women in employment where
standing is required, and that there
be an eigAtkour day; that there is
proper prohibition of child labor, and
that there shall be adopted as speedily
as possible everv practical principle
which can further humanize industry.
Garry On Against Disloyalty"
Let all we'll wishers of good gov
ernment, regardless of party affilia-
tions, let all those who love their
country and its institutions listen now
for moment, listen with eyes aloft.
listen to the voice of experience and
the call of inspiration from the spirit
of America, which was Washington and
Lincoln and Roosevelt-listen and hear
from them the call: Garry on, Amer-
cans! Garry onl Garry on! Garry on,
now, against the foes Of our own house
hold as you fought at Valley Forge a.
the Argonne and at Chateau Thierry.
Carry on! Garry on!
Find disloyalty if there be dis
if there be dishonesty and crush it;
find the right and cleave unto it. Keep
your eyes raised, Americans, but keep
your feet on solid ground. Find the
reason for discomfort, and meet it
squarely; correct the cause where
there is cause and merciless!y
destroy the excuse where it is an ex-
cuse only Find exact justice and de-
mand it-demand it for all men and
require it from all men.
"The great power which is the spirit
OF America must not tolerate any al
tempt to array group against group
section against section, or sect against
sect. Guard against this as you would
against pestlence; tine nation has no
greater enemy than one who would
thus divide the country against itself
Colonel Roosevelt's Speech
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt said in
his speech:
at is n very real pleasure to be able
to testify to our keen appreciation of
all that Mr. Hays has done for the
country and the party in the past, and
to our equally keen appreciation of
what Mr.. Hays and Mrs. South will do
for the country and the party in the
future.
There are many in our ranks who
are not in the real sense of the word
Republicans. We must make them Re-
publicans. The voter who answers
when asked why he is a Republican,
Because ] don't like the Demo
Gratis we must turn into man who
replies I am Republican because the
Dow r,l
ciples in which l heartily believe
New Type of Candidate Needed
eve must, therefore, have we'll de-
. fined and widely published policies and
platforms in state and npton. We
been prone in the past, namely, a go
as-you-pleasc race, WITH each individ
ual running on his personality, plus
what he believes in or conceves to be
popular, and substitute solid front
of able candidates, all advocating the
same we'll thought cut set of
Of sane, constructive liberalism, and
believe that dollar of the public's
moneys should be made to do a dollars
worth of work.
LET us tell the people concretely
what we mean by this. Let us give
them statement of the legislation we
propose, and what we consider con-
structive liberalism.
THE best way to get the proper can
didates, and what is more important,
good policies and platforms, is to work
for them in their inception, to join the
party organization, and, through mem
bership and rtcipation in its coun-
ellis, from the highes to the lowest, see
that correct candidates are on the
ticket and correct planks in the Plat
form. This needs particular emphasis
now, on account of our newly enfran-
chiscd voters. We have often heard
