NO APPEAL TO REA-
son IN CAMPAIGN
OF DEMOCRATS
Ridiculous to Persons Who Know Are
Some Of the Arguments Offered by
Democratic Candidates.

A story is told of the late Senator
Ollie James Of Kentucky that we'll ILL
ustrates the absurd arguments used
by Democratic candidates to influence
their ignorant audiences. In 1911 Mr..
James was in a primary campaign
against former Senator Paynter for
the Democratic nomination for Sena-
tor. Let me tell you what sort OF a
party man this fellow Paynter is,"
cried Ollie to his open-mouthed audi
tors, when he finds it impossible to
be In the Senate Chamber when a
vote is taken he gets himself paired
with another Senator. And he always
picks Republican. What do you think
Of that!"
Now comes Congressman Tom Hef-
lin of Alabama boasting of his exploits
in the recent campaign in the Seventh
District Of his State to fill vacancy
in the House caused by death. Il
stated in my speeches" proudly de-
clares Mr.. Helm, that when Mr..
Lodge started the fight on the league
of nations cotton was SO cents, and
that at the time was speaking 1t was
20 cents, and that If 1t was ratified
1t would go to co." Cheers for Helm
and votes for the Democratic candi-
date who would make them rich!
Somebody once said that the Demo-
cratic party was 1.-The party OF igno-
rance. Successful Democratic cam
didates for office realize the fact and
shape their appeal for votes accord
ingly. That is true not only Of seek
ers after the less important positions,
but even Of the Presidency itself. In
1916 Mr.. Wilson won his election on
the sole issue, "He kept us out OF
| war" The ignorant voter took that
statement at its face value, never stop
ping to inquire at what cost we had
been kept out of war, or whether we
would pay for our unpreparedness
| when once drawn into the conflict. In
all his campaign for his precious
league, conspicuously in his western
speeches, the President has never re-
sorted to specific argument that would
appeal to the reason Of the Intelligent
citizen. He has relied for success up
, ON appeals to the popular passion FOL
peace, claiming that the league woulc
abolishr war; he has aroused the pit!
of his audiences by painting the des'
titute condition of the poor people Of
European, declaring that America car
bring them certain relief IL 1t adop'
the league; he has excited popular
hatred for militaristic cliques that II
former years have been able to plunge
nations into war, explaining that MI
league puts an end forever to suci
things. All his addresses have con
tanned a consistent appeal to. the emo
tons rather than to the reason OF tn
nublic. In every utterance he ha'
made since the league became an issu

SCOUT rs
SCOUTS SPIED HUN WIRELESS
Conducted by National Council OF the
Boy Scouts of America.)

1t will probably be long time be-
fore the full story of all that the Boy
Scouts of America have accomplished
on the home battle-ground may safely
be told.
The things that they have done In
the sight Of everyone. such as selling
Liberty bonds and war savings stamps,
and distributing information as dis
patch bearers Of the government, and
locating black walnut for gunstocks
and airplane propellers. and carrying
to completion war gardens and assist
ing in farm work, and collecting nut
shells and peach pits, and helping
other organiZations-are well known,
but there is side to their patriotic
activity Of which the public may not
be generally aware.
There is many Hun now interned
who lays the ending Of his trail Of
wireless conspiracy to the vigilance Of
4 Boy Scout.
Not under suspicion, as the actions
|,f a. man would have been, these
youngsters with their alert eyes and
ears were able to locate many an ille-
gal radio. In one day alone 26 were
reported from somewhere in Amer
lca."

SCOUTS HELD FIRST PARADEs.

After the signing Of the armistice
terms by Germany, the Boy Scouts Of
America were among the first to look
ahead, and in an organized way
planned for q vigorous continuance Of
necessary war work until the soldiers
are all at home again and the costs
Of the war met by the money of the
people.
Plans were made at national head
quarters for a gigantic mobilization of
scouts In every city in the country for
the purpose of turning the attention Of
the people to the necessity for keeping
up their wartime efforts.
All over the country there were or
derly parades, the banners bearing
slogans with constructive suggestions,
such as, keep on Buying War Saw
ings Stamps" "Be Ready for the Final
Liberty Loan" "The War Is Over, but
Our Work Is Not"
In Bucyrus, O., the scouts began to
assemble at 2:30 q. m. The blowing
of the whistles was correctly inter-
.preted and the scouts started q mo-
bilization on schedule time.

FARRE LIKES THE SCOUTS.

Lieut.. Henri Fare, in addressing
a body Of Boy Scouts Of America.
said:
"Young men, you are the soldiers Of
the future. All of you are animated
by the purest patriotic sentiments.
Your young souls are already burning
with impatience awaiting the day that
your country may need your generous
blood.
"You may be sure that the blood
which runs at this moment on the soil
Of France, the blood Of your older
brothers. mixing itself with the blood
of the French, will be the regeneration
Of the whole world and that 1t will
strengthen the noble ideal which all
Americans have In their hearts for
liberty, equality and fraternity.
BE proud Of your brothers who are
now fighting for this noble ideal. Soon
they will bring back the purest laurels
gathered In France. Already a part
of this land has been torn away from
this savage and fer0cious enemy by
your brothers who are fighting with
Irresistible courage. Vive rAmerique
vive la France"

BOOSTERS VS. KNOCKERS

The greatest example of what boost ing can do is now before the world. That which a great portion of the world said was impossible has hap pened. The nation of peaceful mer- chants and boosters has made a light ming change which surpassed all ex- pectations and even the widest dreams of those who had knowledge of it's tremendous resources. The in domitable spirit of American optim- ism which wrought this wonderful change, coupled with the spirit of a few of the allied leaders, has beaten the carefully laid plans of the Prus- Slan mlIltarism. This marvellous cEcngo which left the world gasping with wonder at such an exhibition of power and. at the same time thank ing their lucky stars that it was di- rectcd at the Huns and not at them selves. has not been accomplished without "ncountering obstacles, The |.
