NEW REPUBLICAN VIEW ON
LEAGUE.

No one can read the latest state
ments of responsible republican
leaders on the subject of League
of Nations without interpreting them
to mean a distinct and almost COM
plete reversal of their position from
one of unequivocal rejection to
that of plain, if somewhat reluctant,
acceptance Of President Wilson, $
Numerous and widespread tests
and analysis of public opinion have
disclosed that President Wilson was
correct in his statement that an ov-
erwhelming majority of Americans
are in favor of the League of Nations.
Republican hostility was prompted
by a disqualification of this senti-
ment That mistake bred another
the determination to make the cove
nant of the league a partisan issue
Wilson urged that it be discussed
wholly as question of Americas
new external relations dictated Dy
our participation in the greatest of
wars and by our obligations and in
terests as one of the parties to- a
permanent peace.
There is no disposition among
democrats and supporters of the
president to disparage. this change
VI OPiAIOA dMOu6 ACPuOAASoA SPOhSS0
men. Their abandonment of their
original stand is the part of wis
dom, and friends of league are
quite willing that it shall become al
so the part of patriotism. Most Of
those republicans who mistakenly
believed that a league was a de-
parture from our best traditions, a
surrender of American rights and
jurisdiction over matters of purely
internal concern, may now Cooper
ate with President Wilson and ma
jority of their fellow countrymea in
establishing the league and just
and lasting peace. They can thus
easily merit forgiveness for their
first error of judgment by an evil
dence of readiness to work accord
ing to their better understanding.
To those republicans who persist
in their partisan bias and prejudice
some words of advice may be offered
more in sorrow than in anger. If
by any chance their opposition could
defeat the league of nations, in the
face of the public demand for its
adoption, they would have condemn
ed themselves to endless obloauy;
they would have provoked their de-
privation of office and power and
good Gepute. If their attempt were
made without success-as any such
an attempt is foredoOmed to be made
they would have brought upon
themselves a hardly less measure of
punishment. In either event they
would be the losers.

SOME LESSONS FROM THE IN
VESTIGATION,

Governor Harding escaped i'm
detachment by the house through the
efforts of his friends.
II reminds much of the trial of a
man for SANDER. The evidence seem
ed overwhelming and the charge OF
the presiding judge stood for con-
viction. rhe defendant requested
permission to address the jury winch
was granted He stepped close to
the Jury. spoke few words beneath
his breath and sat down with a con-
fident air. The jury acquitted him
Without leaving their seats. Urged
by curiosity the Judge asked the de-
PENDANT what he had said TO- the
Jury. why, Judge" he explained,
II Just said Gentlemen OF the jury,
the crisis has arrived ana mars must
stand together
1t was an escape but an escape
usually value most. No coat OF
whitewash can cover the act and the
evidence. All the kings horses, and
all the kings men can not set Hard
ing up again.
Harding is incidental. He is mere
ly representative OF school OF pOil-
tics, Such officials are and then are
not. Such men rise high enough to
expose themselves to the public gaze
and the public does the Fest.
But the public, however quick it
may be and is to correct mistakes OF
that kind, keeps on making the same
mistakes. We have little excuse for
the individual who continues to
make the same mistakes over and
over. We say he. deserves all he
gets. That is just as true OF us as
a voting public. We got what we
deserved when we fell over ourselves
to vote Harding into the governor
ship. If the house had impeached
and the senate removed him that
would not have excused or mitigated
the public idiocy and the not less
idiotic party idiocy that elects such
officials.
AS public we are prone to make
mistakes of that kind and having
discovered the mistake to take it
out" on the beneficiary of our own
fOolishness.
There are two lessons in the
recent investigation. One is for the
individual whose ambitions turn to-
ward public life. He should draw
the understanding from the investi-
CATION that the only way to remain
in public life holding credit while
active and honor in retirement is the
straight way. The other lesson is
for the voting public. When it fails
to- inform itself and refuses to be in
formed as to the records and char
acters of candidates for high or low
office it bids for bad service and Sc
cures good service. through accident.

LOOKING BACKWARD.

Looking backward over the two
wears that have elapsed since that
memorable day, April 6, 1917, when
President Wilson signed the ]olnt

aligned America with the nations OF
the earth that were fighting to save
civilization and liberty from becom-

grasp the immensely OF the Stupen-
dous events that have TRANSFERRED in
that brief time, for every day mas

worthy a page in history, DEEDS OF
devotion, of sacrifice, of duty done,
deeds that will grow brighter and
the years; deeds that time will IL
lumine until they shine with a
brightness unparalleled in all the
The wonderful story of America s
accomplishments since her might
was hurled, into the breach to stay
the onrush of the horde OF Hans
that spring day two years ago is a
record of the achievement of the
possible, and will form the brightest
chapter in the worlds history The
names of those men who by their
deeds of sacrifice, of patriotism and
of devotion to duty furnished the
theme for this wonderful story will
form a roll of honor to be inscribed
on tablets of memory that will new
er perish.
The wonderful story of America
and the world War-the greatest OF
all the ages-will be told in SONG

the painters brush, and the figure
that will stand out in greatest re.
lief, that will loom largest on the
horizon of history, growing with ev'
cry passing year and an inspiration
for every American youth, will be
that of the courag eous. the indoml'
table but patient President, Wood
row Wilson.
Inspired by partisan and selfish
ambitions, traducers are attempting
to defeat the very purposes OF this
man who now sits at the peace
table, seeking to achieve the full
fruits of the victory that has been
won at the cost of so much blood
and treasure; seeking to bring to a
war-worn world an era of lasting
their traducers, little men who
sought to detract from the greatness
of men they could not even initiate;
men whose purity of purpose and
towering intellect they. could not APP
preciate, But like Washington and
Lincoln, Wilson will grow in the love
and admiration of his country and
the world until his figure towers
alongside those of the greatest men
of all time-Wilson, the father of
the new freedom.
