Under the stress of unusual
conditions radical leaders got
control of affairs in Seattle.
They desired revolution, not
reform, and they were headed
for that goal. But most of the
men who went out had no such
aims. They were misguided
and when they learned the
truth about affairs they acted
as was to be expected.
, The moral of the Seattle
strike is that loyal American
ism is deep rooted and can be
depended upon when put to
the test. But that is not all. II
has been proven also that
courage and firmness are ne
cessary on the part of those
representing government. A
weak policy by the Seattle ad-
ministration or on the part OF
federal authorities would have
invited trouble. Weakness
would have given the reds the
opportunity they wanted and
they would have put over d
reign of terror.
There will be no serious
trouble over Bolshevism in
America if officials face theil
duty bravely and if all bear in
mind that a republic such as
this must serve the majority
and cannot stand for radical
ism or insolence from any quar-.
ter. Disputes must be settled
on a basis of justice and fair
dealing. When either side
gets far from this mark they
take chances. The people will
resent such behavior and this
is a country where by the
grace of God and the consti-
tuition the people rule and are
going to continue doing so.

EASIER HOME BUYING

~ ONGRESS is being asked
" to enact legislation that
will allow building and
loan associations to obtain re-
discount privileges from fed
eral reserve banks. There is
much merit to the proposal be-
cause such a step would make
home buying easier and home
owning is a move to be encOur-
aged. From a standpoint of
justice and national welfare it
would be we'll if through the
federal reserve banks or the
farm loan banks arrangements
could be made whereby money
for home buying purposes
could be more easily obtained.
The plan is sound financially
because with a system of
monthly payments there is lit
tie chance for loss.

to be that America has violated its
agreement. There was no question "a
to the authority of the president to
speak for America at the peace table
yet he seems to have had no author

Angeles Times, at Is the reputation
OF the countr and not OF the president
that suffers. America seems to have
sent two million men to France for
no particular purpose or end. After
the world has conned the reports OF

THE TASK SET By LoDGE4

Noting indications that Republican
senators under the leadership of Mr..
Lodge are willing, II not indeed anx-
ious, to go to the country next year
with opposition to the ratification OF
the peace treaty in its present form
as the main issue, Former Congress
man Charles F. Scott, in his lola Reg
lister, expresses his views as follows:
AS a Republican newspaper, the
Register can not but deplore this atti-
tude upon the part of Republican
leaders.
The real issue in this country now
and the one which ought to be Kept
clearly before the people and right at
the front until 1t is finally and de-
cisively settled, is the issue of an or
derly government as against the revo-
lutionary radicalism which during the
past few months has filled the coun-
try with strikes and riots and all sorts
of social and industrial disturbances.
With a ringing declaration for the
maintenance of our present form of
government and for the orderly con-
duet of political and industrial affairs
as the first plank in its platform, and
with an arraignment of the Demo-
cratic party for inefficiency and gross
and reckless extravagance in the ex-
penditure OF the public fund, together
with definite pledge to correct these
evils, as all the rest of the platform.
the Republican party could sweep the
country next year SO thoroly that the
votes against it would virtually all be
sent into the scattering" column.
1t would be an intolerable blundeT
to substitute for this real issue the
matter of the form Of the peace treaty
which ought not to be partisan ques-
tion at all:
But even as a matter of politics, it
is serious question whether the peo-
pie will support the posit n taken by
the Republican leaders in the senate.
The people of America are jealous of
the honor of their country. They do
not relish having the United States
put in the attitude of a gutter and a
poor sport, and 1t will not be very
hard to convince them that that was
done when the senate refused to al
low this country to carry its part of
the burden involved In enforcing the
terms OF peace against Germany, in
helping to make the readjustments in
Europe necessary to restore normal
conditions there, and in attempting to
safeguard the world against future
wars. To bear its share in all these
things is just as much a duty of this
country as it was after having entered
the war to do it's share of the fighting
and pay its part of the expense.
As a Republican newspaper which
with all modesty may claim to have
done its share in defending Republi-
can positions and championing Re
publican policies, the Register is
obliged to admit that it does not look
forward with any degree of pleasure
to the task of undertaking to prove
to the people that the Republican SEN
ate followed a wise and patriotic poll
Icy when 1t took position that de-
layed the declaration of peace. that
defeated the only program which is
even proposed for the prevention of
future wars. and that put the United
States of America In the attitude of
preferrtng the narrow walled-in path
of national selfishness to the broad
and open highway Of unselfish service
to humanity.
