USURPS POWER OF
MASTER

Insisting that the President should
keep his campaign promise of 1918,
Il will accept your judgment with
out cavil,' the Republican Publicity
Association asserts that by continued
attempt at dictation Mr.. Wilson is
impeaching the intelligence and pat
riotism of the people. The statement.
issued through the president of the
organization, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., says:
Impeachment of the people of the
United States for lack of intelligence
or patriotism, is the unavoidable in
depreciation to be placed upon the
continued insistence of the president
that his will must prevail and Ameri
can sovereignty be surrendered to the
league Of nations. Prior to the cleo
tion of last November. President Will
son appealed for election of a Demo
cratic Congress as an endorsement of
his administration and an expression
of confidence as he entered upon the
peace negotiations. He assured the
people, i will accept your judgment
without cavil.' With that plea be
fore them and freshly impressed
upon their minds, the people deliber-
ately chose a Republican house and
a Republican senate.
in spite of that vote, following his
promise to accept the judgment of
the people without cavil President
Wilson went personally to the peace
conference, took with him only such
men as would subordinate their
minds to his and was, for all practi-
cal purposes, the sole spokesman of
this great Republic He not merely
Ignored but defied the voice of the
American people.
Now when the country has before
1t peace treaty which overthrows
American traditions, which duplicates
this nation in the theft of Shantung,
which binds the people of this coun-
try to engage in foreign wars at the
beck and call of other powers, and
which involves a maze of internation-
al complications making certain the
multiplication of wars, senators are
told they must stand by the president
or be CONDEMNED as 'imbeciles,' men of
'pigmy minds, and promoters of war
Men who were deliberately chosen by
the people in opposition to the presi-
dent and in view of his promise to
accept your judgment without caviP
are now teld they are bound to accept
the ipse dixit of the man whom the
people had repudiated.
Such an attitude as that is moth
ing less than impeachment of the
people who spoke, in the only manner
in which they can speak, at the polls
last November. 1t is an impeach-
ment which will be determined in
November. 1920, when the people will
have the opportunity to say whether
they desire their public servant to

Mr.. Editor:

believe they generally have a most
wholesome influence.
But the remarks in your last issue
about the president and the league of
hations leads me to feel that some
thing ought to be said on the other
side, | do not by any means approve
of everything that President Wilson
has done. He is "a national autocrat
and his apparent self-will and self
conceit have led him to do many fool
lsh things. But the League Coven-
ant is surely one of the noblest doc
uments that human wisdom has ever
devised and the president deserves
credit for his part in it.
AS for understanding what the
league involves, it would seem that
trouble to study il. The language is
perfectly clear. Some of our senat-
ors seem to see in il much more than
anyone else can see. They can see
commands and orders where there
are only recommendations They can
see danger to our independence where
there is no danger.
Our senators cannot trust their
fellow men. They use exactly the
same arguments which were used a
hundred and thirty years ago at the
adoption of the Federal constitution.
Each state was jealous of every other
state and expected that the central
government would be used to suppress
the individual states. Able and hon
est men took that view They were
opposed to any league of nations If
they had been successful we should
now have forty or fifty little nations
here all quarreling with each other
America has been the most altru-
istic of nations We established Cuba
as an independent nation when
Europe expected US TO annex il. We
returned to China large part of the
indemnity which we might have kept
and which the other nations did keep.
We entered the great war and fought
it to finish when we had no selfish
cUu 10 gam. TOT lIllS great UdllOU
TO be asked to turn down the league
covenant which promises so much to
the world. to go back upon its record,
to stultify itself, as it were, and this
because in some possible but unlikely
concurrence of circumstances we
might lose some particle of our in
dependence is an appeal to selfish
ness
AS to treaties or engagements the
twelfth article provides specifically
for their abrogation so far as they
are Inconsistent with the terms of
the league.
For America Of all the nations to
turn down the league when the other
nations are ready 10 accept would be
most disappointing and should fill us
with shame. We should expect that
America would be the leader in any
such great movement to serve hu-
manity by preventing war 1t is hu-
initiating to think that she may be

progress. J. Clisbe a Republican.
