Ohio were being called upon for
heavy subscriptions, and showed
where National Chairman Will Hays
had been going about the State, meet
ing with small groups of men repre-
senting big interests in different cit
les, raising money from them for use
in the campaign this year.
Warning his party that it cannot go
into the campaign with any hope Of
success with any candidate whose
nomination has been brought about
by a brutal and shameless use of
money, Senator Borah declared that
"this is not the time to trifle with pub
lie opinion. Men who put up vast
sums of money for candidate are be-
lieved to have an Interior motive. 1t
is not the act of benefcence altogeth-
err. If man contributes 100000 to
mans campaign fund, it is general
ly believed that somewhere along the
line he expects return"
That the Republican bosses are get
ting ready to use money in close Con-
gressional districts in an attempt to
elect their candidates is indicated by
recent reports from Southern border
States. This is particularly true of
North Carolina, where emissaries
from Republican National headquar-
tiers have gone recently to make can
vases to estimate the "purchaseable"
vote. In one district in North Caro-
lima, normally Democratic by about
1000, it was reported that there were
in the twelve counties of the district
approximately 1900 votes that could
be influenced with the use of money,
and the district therefore made Re-
publican.
1t is significant that in that district
the Republicans have nominated for
their candidate for Congress a man
of great wealth. He was nominated
at a convention which the bosses con-
trolled, and half-dozen other RepHb-
licans who would liked to have had the
nomination but did not have any
wealth, were not given the slightest
consideration. In those normally
close districts, wherever possible, the
nomination is being given to men of
wealth wherever they are available,
and men of no great means haven't the
slightest chance,

RETRAYING THE DEAD

The Government of the United
States could win a great war; it could
negotiate a great peace; but it is in
capable of ratifying any kind of
peace, because the Senate is unable to
perform it's constitutional functions.
There have been humiliating cpl
sodes in the history of the United
States, but nothing else that was
quite so humiliating as this; nothing
else that so sharply challenged the ca
pacity of the American people for
self-government; nothing else that so
sweepingly indicted their national self
respect and their sense of RESPONSE
bility. On the whole, the records of
the Senate since the Treaty of YER
sailles was formally submitted by
President Wilson July 10, 1919, con-
stitute the most notifying chapter in
American history.
Having voted in December, 1918, to
divide their government in, the midst
of a world-crisis, the American people
now find themselves without gov
eminent that can function. Partisan
ship has paralyZed its members. The
commanding prestige that the United
States won in the war has been frit-
tered away, and the country, after all
its superb achievements, stands be-
fore the world today discredited and
without real friend. This is the pen
atty of that betrayal of faith which is
all concentrated in the repeated refus-
al to ratify the treaty Of peace. So
far as the United States Senate is
concerned, the dead of this war have
died in vain.--New York World.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1920-04-09

ing. The truth of the matter is that
instead of taking hold of this ques-
ton, the Republican House organiza-
ton has forced through seevral tariff
bills which, if they became laws, will
actually add to the cost of living. For
example, there is one bill placing a
high tariff on material necessary in
the manufacture of steel. This bill
would add to the cost of every axe,
pillow, scythe or other cutting tool used
by the farmer. Another bill provides
for the manufacture of pearl buttons,
so that even buttons will be greatly
increased in cost. These are small
items, but they show the Republican
idea. Day before yesterday, in de-
bate in the Senate, high tariff Re-
publican made the statement that if
the Republican party continues con-
troll of Congress and elects a Repub-
ican President this fall, that they will
revise the entire tariff and put into
full force the Republican idea Of pro-
lection. Now, as you know, protec-
ton is for the manufacturer and not
for the farmer.
How Republicans Waste Money.
again, the Republican organiza-
ton in Congress has wasted and is
wasting hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in so-called Notwithstanding
to dig up something on the Demo-
Gratis under whose management the
war was won. You may be surprised
to know that in these Investigations
Republican smelling committees,
have been paying experts as much as
$40 to $50 per day, and expenses, in
order to try to find some campaign
material for use this fall. Why, one
little committee with three or four
members, as l now recall, travelled, in
special car, going to California and
through the Pacific coast States, the
expenses being over $4,000, yet the
taxpayers are called upon to pay for
such extravaganza as authorized by
the present Republican Congress.
81 only wish that all you men could
be here for a. little while and see and
hear for yourselves just what is going
on; if SO, you would go back home and
take off your coats for the Democratic
ticket from top to bottom. You could
not help but see that the Republican
party, now in control Of Congress, is
looking after the special interests,
the big manufacturers and the mil
lionaire class, just as it has always
done, and as it will keep on doing it
if it is continued in power"

peaceful efforts failing, than military
action to suppress it, unless it had ap-
pealed to the powers for help, which
would have been such a confession Of
weakness that it must have caused its
own overthrow? France has tragic
reasons for being suspicious of every
act of Germany, but the rest of the
world will want to see more evidence
of trickery before it flies into rage.
Anyway, if Germany cannot be per-
mitted to suppress rebellion in it's own
territory, it would seem the part of
justice as well as self-interest for the
allies to assume responsibility for the
maintenance of order. Otherwise the
restricted territory east of the Rhine
may be made the protected hotbed fol
