But all this aside, il docs seem futile
to be worrying about such lesser issues
when the greater issue by which the
Presidents policies must be judged is
yet to be framed through the march of
events in Europe. At this moment the
eyes of the great mass of Americans
not distinguishing them as either Repub
licans or Democrats--are focused upon
the President abroad. There is where
the great issue will be formed and moth
| ing can distract attention from it. SO
| many tremendous factors enter into the
| results Of the Peace Conference, with
direct bearing upon the future happiness
certain the Democratic party must come
before the people, no matter who is the
Democratic candidate, upon issues
evolved there. Who in either party can
accurately predict the result?
IL the Republicans would win victory
next year they must offer the people
oVhiCthiiis thdi hhoSho against
the Administration. They must bring
forth constructive ideals and ideas; not
mere destructive nagging. They must
prepare to match Mr.. Wilson's vision
with greater vision; they must look
well into the future and not back at the
immediate past only. They must design
definitely, not vaguely. They must
know where they want to take the coun-
try and say so without mock heroics or
patriotic platitudes. They must convince
the people that the direction of the Gov
ernment will be safer in Republican
hands than in Democratic. To do this
it is essential that they appeal to the
best that is in the hearts as well as the
minds of the plain, common-sense Ameri-
can man and woman "in the street." in
the workshop, in the home. Above all,
there must be new faces and new figures
to give Republicanism fresh inspiration
all the way down the line. Mossbacks
must go. This is the course of enlight-
enment and the only course that will
lead to success.
Granting such a program of rejuvena-
tion, there is every reason to believe,
judging by the results of the election
last November that the country will
swing back to its normal belief in the
ability of the Republican party, because,
with the exception of Mr. Wilson him
self, it is plain to see that the Demo-
cratic leadership, with its Dents and
Kitchns and such stupid obstructionists,
is no whit different from the same old
pullback, unprogressive and short
sighted organization it has been since
Civil War days. The Republican party
has ohcays proudly boastod that II is
the party of progress and construction.

NNHE man In Righteousness arrayed,
i pure and blameless liver,
Needs not the keen Toledo blade,
Nor venom-freighted quiver.
What though he winds his toilsome way
Ger regions wild and weary
Through Zara's burning desert sway,
Or Asia's jungles dreary.
What though he plow the billowy deep
BY lunar light or solar,
Meet the resistless simoon's sweep.
Or iceberg circumpolar.
In bog or quagmire deep and dank
His foot shall never settle:
He mounts the summit of Mont Blanc
or Popocatapetl.
On Chimborazo's breathless height
He treads DER burning lava.
Or snuffs the Bohan Upas blight,
The deathful plant of Java.
Through every peril he shall pass,
BY Virtues shield protected.
And still by Truths unerring glass
His path shall be directed
Else wherefore was it, Thursday last,
While strolling down the valley.
Defenseless, musing as l passed

Tangier nor Tunis never bred
An animal more Grabbed
Nor Fec, dry nurse of lions, fed
A monster half so rabid:
Nor Ararat 80 fierce beast

Nor stronger, eager for feast
The fell constructor boa.
Oh. place me where the solar beam
Has scorched all verdure vernal;

OF love remain unbroken:

At the time the Allies were urging COM
bination, Colonel House advised entering z
into one. Mr.. Wilson rejected the advice.
The result is that the larger Allies at
least have combination. The United
States is out of it. While Mr.. Wilson was
dealing alone with Germany during the
exchange of notes with regard to the
armistice the Allies were apparently being
knit closer together, just by reason Of their
exclusion from his confidence for the mo-
mcnt.
Probably they were an inner circle in the
war. They had been fighting a long time
before We began to fight. They had been
associated together for years in European
diplomacy. They had made the secret
treaties which Russia disclosed. They

different language It had no ends to serve

costs, avoid contamination.
