Third Party Buncombe

| He country must be permitted to smile at
the repeated mention of third party,
founded on opposition to the league OF ma
tions. And it must be permitted to laugh
at the thought of Senator Borah being the
organizer of such party. Nothing could be
more amusing or more absurd than such an
outcome of the league debate. AS every sane
man knows, the threat of Mr.. Borah TO lead
party revolt is composed of 90 per cent
bluff and l per cent Of nothing at all
In the first place, there is no need of
third party to force the league issue The
Republican party has assumed this RESPONSE
b!lity. It's chosen leaders in the Senate of
the United States have made it their business
10 array their party organization against the
covenant, not because the covenant is bad or
because II involves national misfortune, but
solely because ii proceeds from Democratic
source The only sound objection TO it that has
been or can be advanced is that it pro-
posed and pressed for adoption By Demo-
cratic President Of the United States.
The very thought of William f. Borah
founding a new party even if the Republicans
had not challenged the league, is amusing.
He is the same Borah who has threatened
revolt ali his life, but has never had the
| courage or the conviction 10 go through with
II. Back in 1896 he was a silycrite He
shouted loudly for the double standard of
\ coinage. He whooped il in Idaho with a
/ rusty voice ana MS ITlenQS look IL TOT granted
/ that he would go over, lock stock and barrel
TO Organism. But he did nothing of the sort
! He remained a Republican.
Then in 1912 Borah a Roosevelt leader
| in the famous Republican convention that
1 ended in split in the old party. He s,ormed
about on the floor Of that convention for
| days. He led the Roosevelt contests in the
| Republican National Committee He was the
most resourceful Of all the Roosevelt spokcs-
men and when the decision was finally made
TO create the Progressive party. all the faith
iul and true looked to Borah to renounce
! his Kcpnblicanism and help them TO kill off
reactionism once and for all.
But Mr.. Borah did nothing of the sort He
stood pat. He remained on the party rescr-
Walton. He simply quit. AS a gutter he has
y no counterpart in American politics today
lie is Republican heart and soul and il is
a waste OF time to talk about his breaking
away from his old allegiance.

Cause of the Boer War.

B. NJ IL. Rocky Mount.-The South
African War. or Boer War IS99-l902),
had its origin in the discomfort OF the
Outlander QoreiSn) population In the
South African republic. These were
mostly. British subjects who com,
planned that their share of political
rights was denied. while they owned
most of the property and had to bear
the major part OF the taxation. For
Ave yenrs an agitation had been going
on with n view to securing equal
rights for all white races in the Trans
vaal. but the Volksrad. guided by
President Kruger, resisted all pro-
posals for reform. Eventually an nlti-
matum was presented to the British
agent at Pretoria. insisting that all
the points In dispute should be set
tied by arbitration, anA demanding
that all re-enforcemcnts should be
withdrawn and that British troops on
the way to South Africa should be
recalled. The Orange Free State, de-
spite O guaranty that its territory and
independence. would he respected In
the event OF war, cast Its fortunes
with the sister republic, and the Brit
ish colonies were Invaded october 10.
1899. BY tho articles OF peace signed
at Pretoria May 80, 1902. the Boer re-
puhlics were Incorporated in the Brit

In the meantime, no doubt all OF the original

IT must have been an oversight rather than
studied insult that caused Sir Douglas Haig
to claim for Great Britain all the credit for
winning the war, with merely incidental refer
ence to France and Italy and significant
silence toward the part that America played
in the conflict. He has been regarded as too
good a sport and too little OF the braggart
for 1t to seem plausible that he would thus
Intentionally offend America. And still il
seems quite impossible that his memory
should be so faulty as TO cause him to forget
his own desperate cry 10 America for help
when he was hghting, he said himself

speech has caused particularly unplcasan nj
impression on this side OF the Atlantic and
a word of explanation from him might serve
to clear the situation. 1t would be too bad
to have to place him in the same class with
Hawker.
