to yesterday the women strikers had

FRIDAY, JULY Is. 1919.
BRILLIANT RHETORIC
(Hon. Jonathan Bourne Jr.)

(hOn. Jonathan Bourne Jr.)
Keyed up to a high pitch OF in
terest at the prospect Of receiving at
last from the hand of the president
some concrete facts in support OF the
peace treaty, and some tangible rea-
sons why the United States should
forsake its traditional policies and
adopt the league covenant, the peo-
pie have sunk back once more into
their habitual condition OF hopeless
ness, Of eyer hearing from the presi-
dent single definite, unequivocal
statement Of our foreign policy Of
the future. Like all OF his previous
addresses dealing with the league
and treaty, Mr.. Wilson's speech to
the senate was utterly devoid OF
anything in the nature Of specific
argument. His remarks were mere
ly q flow OF beautiful language, a
collection OF empty platitudes, and
q monotonous repetition OF the Will
sonian conception OF Americas duty
toward humanity.
Mr.. Wilson began his speech by
clothing in new words his frequently
emphasized declaration that we did
not go to war because of anything
that concerned the United States par
ticularly, but that our victorious
army was inspired by its love for
humanity in general. His closing
paragraph practically asserted that
he was the agent OF Divinity in
framing the league of nations and
regulating the future OF the world.
The stage Is set,' he declared, the
destiny disclosed. It has come about
by no plan of our conceiving, but by
the hand of God who led us into this
way In the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence the forefathers proclaimed
that we had been endowed by our
Creator with liberty. Can it be that
same Creator purposes now to use
Mr.. Wilson as His agent in -depriv-
ing us OF that liberty?
so insistent is the president on
impressing upon his countrymen his
conception of what brought us into
the war that he repeated again and
again throughout this remarkable
address that it was the woes OF hu-
manity that goaded us to fight. and
distinctly repudiated the idea that
German aggression upon the United
States had anything to do with it.
We entered it, said he, not because
our material interests were directly
threatened And again, We enter
ed the war as the disinterested cham
pions OF right and we interested
ourselves in the terms OF peace in
no other capacity And yet again,
1T was universally recognized that
American had entered the war to
promote no private or peculiar inter
est OF her own. but only as the cham
pion of rights which she was glad to
share with free men and lovers of
justice everywhere Where is the
American whose blood does not boil
at such statements, bad enough when
coming from the ordinary citizen.
but far worse when uttered by the
man whom our Constitution placed
at the head Of our armies?
'iAnd touch of amusement was
not lacking. When the president so
berly remarked that You have been

EVERYTHING WENT

For the past two years 1t just
seemed as If everything was wrong

2516 Orianna street, Philadelphia.

The stomach regulates the cond:-
ton of the blood and is, therefore.
the fountain-head of health or dis
ease. Tanlac is intended primarily
for this most important organ, but
it is not uncommon for persons who
have used it to say that Tanlac re-

many ailments not generally rec
ogn!zed as having their origin in
stomach trouble. The genuine ].
