WHAT WERE THEY FIGHTING
FOR?

In these days of many returning
soldiers it is interesting to get their
viewpoint on a number of things.
One fact is especially noticeable.
The great majority of them say that
the armistice was signed to soon to
give the Germans what was coming
to them-and the Americans and AL
lies should have given the German
armies a sound beating and marched
to Berlin while they were about it.
The understanding President Will
son had was that the armistice was
signed on condition that his fourteen
points were to be fulfilled These
summed up his ideals" as he called
them. The Germans also insist that
the fourteen points must be fol-
lowed. The Allies are rather indif
ferent to them, Clemenceau rather
openly poking fun at them.
In his Boston speech President
Wilson said the American soldiers
were fighting for the ideals he laid
down in his fourteen points. He said
1.-THE war was won by the inspiration
of these ideals"
Were the American soldiers fight
ing for the fourteen points? Or were
they fighting to lick the everlasting
tar out of the Huns and put them
where they couldn't do any damage?
The insolent attitude of the Ger
man delegates at the peace confer
ence throws some light on this ques-
ton,

M'ADOO'S CHEAP AND FOOLISH
TALK

William G. McAdoo, former secre-.
tary of the treasury. former director
of railroads, and at present reputed
to be the occupant of a lucrative
position in the movie business, in
jeeted cheap and foolish partisan
talk into an address which he de-
liyered at a conference of collectors
and appraisers of customs in the
New York custom house.
After he had devoted some time to
defence of his administration Of the
railroads, he exclaimed:
II say to you Democrats-and If
there are any Republicans here, to
them also-that there is no cause to
become indignant because a Demo
cratic administration waged sue
eessful war"
Doubtless those words in print
brought a crooked smile to the faces
of many Americans, because they
know the fact to be that the people
of the United States waged success
full warfare, in spite of Democratic
administration which kept US out
of the war" and left US unprepared
during period in which clear
visioned Americans saw that we
must enter the war and therefore
ought to be very busy with prepara-
tions; an administration whose APP
pointed public informant, George
Creel, expressed qualification oyer
our unpreparedness at the time when
at last the existence of state of war
was recognized by the Congress.
Continuing in the strain of soap
box stump speaker Mr.. McAdoo
asked, preposterously: Did the Re-
publicans want Germany to win be-
cause the administration was Demo-
cratic?"
Such a question reveals the plea
yune mind of Mr.. McAdoo. 1t can
not be reflection upon the patriot
ism of the Republicans. Repubh-
cans, and doubtless many patriotic
Democrats, feared that Germany
might win, or at least that the war
might be greatly prolonged, because
the administration is in such ways
Democratic as Mr.. Wilson and his
associates have made it.
And Mr.. McAdoo declared that
"just where the people stand will be
seen when 1920 comes around" @
1t will be seen-again. 1t was
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1919-05-29

seen last November when the people
IN response to the demand made by
Mr.. McAdoo's father-in-law, that only
Democrates be elected to the Con-
gress, a republican Congress was
elected to take the place of the
Democratic one.
Mr.. McAdoo has been suspected of
harboring designs upon the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination in
1920. He is placing on exhibition
his unftness.
Mr.. Wilson may put his League of
Nations across, but just let him try
to reconcile the American people to
another year of Burleson.

Brief Memoirs of Mrs.Mary Browning
Dewitt.

The funeral services of Mrs Mary
Browning Dewitt were held in the
Methodist Episcopal church at Hoyes
on Sunday morning, April 9th, 1919,
her Pastor having charge of the ser
vices.
Mrs Dewitt was born on October
26th, 1884, and died at the home of her
youngest son. John Arthur Dewitt,
at Hoyes, on April oath, 1919, aged
"a years, months and 20 days.
She was the daughter of William
Browning, the granddaughter of
Meshach Browning, of historic fame,
and the faithful and loving wife of
A. c. Dewitt who died about six years
ago. She leaves two sons and three
daugnters-H. r. Dewitt, of Oakland,
and John Arthur Dewitt, of Hoyes;
Mrs Louise Keller, of Romney, w Va,
Mrs Hamill Casteel, of Hoyes; and
Mrs Hamilton Friend, of Hoyes.
Vim. Browning, of Oakland, is ner
brother, and her half brothers are n.
c. Browning, of Sang Run; Geo d.
Browning, County Commissioner, at
Oakland, and Prof. +. A. Browning,
principal of the high school at
Friendsville. Mrs Louisa Frantz. of
Deer Park was her sister. The
Brownings and DeNitts are among
the best known and most higntly
respected families in Garrett county.
Mrs Dewitt accepted of Christ as
her Saviour when about "a years of
age, after which she united with the
Methodist Episcopal church, and lived
aD exceptionally faithful christian life
until the day of her death, when she
exchanged the "house of clay" for
"a building of God, house not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens"
She was respected and loved by all
who knew her, and was of such kind
hearted, cheerful and sincere nature
and disposition that it was a pleasure
to make her acquaintance and to be in
her company. Her ill-health during
the last few years of her life made it
almost impossible for her to attend
the regular services of the church.
but she greatly enjoyed the brief calls
of her pastor and always requested
that portion of scripture be read to
her and that prayer be offered in her
behalf. Only those who knew her
best and loved her most can fully ao-
preciate the tenderness and reverence
of what should be sacred express
sion, when we say that she was a dear
old woman, for old-age, regardless of
the fippant and too often unkind
expression of the giddy and the
thoughtless, is more Sacred than you
tn especially when there many years
have been filled with loving and self
sacrificing deeds of kindness and
loyalty in behalf of their children,
their neighbors and their God, all of
which was true of this devoted SER
vent in Christ.
She gave literally to her Church
and taught her children to do like
wise, and if, not simply by their pro-
fession We shall know them, but if
"by their fruits We shall know Them"
then Mrs Dewitt has not fai1ed n
clay up for" herself treasures in
heaven
She was most lovingly cared for
by her youngest son and his wife,
Mr. and Mrs John Arthur Dewitt, at
whose home she lived and died, and it
was here that her sons and daughters
and many friends enjoyed visiting
her, she will be glad, so glad, to have
them all visit her in her new home in

PROPAGANDA VS.. REASONING

War, as it was conducted by Ger
many, before we entered the conflict,
taught the American people the dan
gers OF propaganda. The lesson
learned is not to be lost with the
coming of peace but is to be made
the basis of great strength. In the
closing days of the European con-
f1ict. George Creel modestly told US
he won the war with propaganda
Neither we nor millions who went to
Europe are quite ready to have
George decorated for the victory Re
assumes. Nevertheless, we are bound
to give attention to the various uses
to which propaganda is subject.
Propaganda may be either good
or bad, true or false, the nature of it
determining its general effects. on the
world If it were subject to restric-
tions, the individual would be in no
particular danger, but under existing
conditions it is likely to be found
anywhere. One man directing corps
of statesmen has found that his men
use propaganda to good advantage
for about two weeks. He, however,
finds that the effectiveness ceases
when the men start revised cam
paign of propaganda on the boss.
In the first days of our American
republic open debates served as bal
ances against the campaigns of prop
agandists. Every public question of
any proportions was tested in open
forum and our people were given
every opportunity for finding the
truth. OF late years. however, the
American people have made them
selves the victims of propagandists
by failure to think for themselves.
Perhaps the most notable example of
propaganda at work in the United
States accompanied the publication
of the first Paris construction for a
league of nation. Certain speakers
toured the country to give the public
one side of the question. We do
not mean to infer that there motives
we're not honest, but the fact re-
mains that they presented but one
side of the argument. often resorting
TO ridicule of the individual who
dared to take an honest exception to
tkeir oratory
Thousands Of American citizens
subscribed to the original document
before they fully understood its i'm
port. They accepted one-sided ar
gument as the final analysis of truth,
without any attempt to arrive at an
individual opinion. This particular
campaign, however, was only part
tally successful and the other side in
self-defense resorted to an opposite
argument. The Lodge-Lowell debate
brought the situation down to All
American principle. In an open de-
bate these men discussed the league
constitution for the general enlight-
eminent of the American people. Ad-
missions were made both for and
against the proposition which never
would have been made had the prop
uganda methods been pursued to the
end.
The safety of the American people
lies in the voice of the people, but
this voice must be backed and sun
ported by the thought of the indivi-
dual. Citizens who lend themselves
to propaganda without first reaching
an honest conviction within them
selves fail to do their duty by the
voice of the people. Full informa-
ton on all public questions is essen
tial to the American thought, which
is the guardian of the greatest re-
public in the world.
