JUST EARNED OUT?

Probably the gravest mistake made
by the President in his Boston address
was the statement in so many words,
that "we" sent our men to war to
place them at the disposal of the
Europeans who were fighting for
their homes and their common cause.
1t is almost unthinkable that the
present leader of the American people,
by virtue Of his election to the presi-
dency, should so outline the purpose
for which we went to war. When men
are sent to war they go because their
country has been attacked. They go
to protect their own homes and "out
there" in the darkness of the night
amid the bursting shells and desola-
tion they fight for one thing; to kill
their enemy. Ask any returning SOL
der why the United States went to
war with Germany. The answer will
be because Germany had insulted the
American people. She had killed
Americans without cause or excuse.
She had wronged and angered the
American people to point where
they were forced to fight to the death.
1t was to end forever the German
menace to America that our soldiers
and sailors fought and died. And
why, Mr.. President, should it mean
that the American people intend to
leave to their own fate the suffering
people of Europe, just because they
do not agree with your proposed con-
stitution for league of nations?
A RANK PARTISAN
One of the significant facts in con-
nection with the Ford -Newberry con-
troversy was that the Federal Judge,
before whom were conducted the pro-
ceedings in New York City to show
that Newberry had violated the cor
rupt practices act in securing his elec-
ti6n, was Judge Clayton, who was
brought from the judicial district of
Alabama for the purpose. 1t will be
remembered that Clayton was DEM
ocratic Member of Congress from Ala
hama; for 26 years he was member
Of the Democratic National Commit
tee; in the Sixtieth Congress he was
Chairman of the Democratic Caucus;
and in 1908 hey was permanent chair
man of the Democratic National Con-
vention at Denver that nominated Mr..
Bryan for the Presidency. Doubtless
Judge Clayton is a very estimable
gentleman who endeavors to render
impartial decisions, but he is scarcely
the man to preside in political con-
test between candidates for the United
States Senate.
