Interest in Education
Must Be Awakened''

Senator Harding's theory of the
great Office to which he aspires, put
ting a thoroughly fair Interpretation
on his own words, is that the govern
ment of this country, so far as it is en-
bodied in the executive, should be
what ne is pleased to call government
by party, as in contrast with the
exercise by the President of his own
pest , !;!t final Judgment under the responS
blllty assumed by his solemn oath of
Office, taking into consideration the
views of others, of course, in arriv-
ing at that final judgment, but rec
ognizing no group of any kind, not
sworn, as he is, to the faithful per
formance of the particular duties in
question, and not subject to impeach-
ment, as he is, in case of serious
malfeasance in the performance of
those duties.
The latter is the conception of the
Presidency held by Washington, John
Adams and Thomas Jefferson in initial
and personal freedom under the Con-
stitution. 1t is the conception held by
Lincoln and Roosevelt, by Cleveland
and Wilson, and all other Presidents of
the past to whom history has assigned
significant place in the normal
growth of our free institutions.
1t is the conception of the Presi-
dency to which, in case of success of
the Democratic party in the coming
election, my own best efforts shall be
dedicated, with solemn sense of re-
sponsibility to the Power above, to
the people of the United States as q
legiance to the Constitution and the
laws.
There IS, and always will be, useful
place for parties in the conduct of a
free government, but any theory of a
government by party" which must
weaken this solemn sense of personal
responsibility or alter its traditional
direction and turn it toward party or
faction can only accentuate the possible
evils of the party and thwart its posi-
bic advantages.
| am sincerely grateful to the Demo-
cratic party for the opportunities of
to me in the past and for the willing
ness which it has shown to extend those
opportunities to still greater field;
but am glad to say that it has always
recognized that my official duties
were to the people as a whole and has
in no case attempted to interfere, under
pretext of party sponsibility, with my
right of personal judgment under oath
in the performance of those duties.
There must be an awakened interest
in education. The assumption that
things are all right is an error. There
is more or less of general idea that
because our school system generally
is satisfactory, and in most Instances
excellent, sufficient progress is being
made. The plain fact reveals two start
ling things, one a growing decimation
in the ranks of teachers and the other
the existence of 5,5O0,00O illiterates.
1t is true that 100000 of these are
foreign born. The army of instructors

reservations making clearer or more
specific the obligations of the United
States to the league associates" and
when he added his own version, OTIS
meaning, in brief, is that we shall
state our Interpretation OF the covenant
as a matter of good faith to our as
sociates and as precaution against
any misunderstanding in the future"
Governor Cox's league declaration,
nevertheless, plants him four square
on this crucial nation issue. He sends
his challenge to the nation that he
wants it just as Mr.. Wilson wants and
DEGREES it. He wants to 60 to the
ballot box with it. He wants to stand
or fall on it. So, we believe, do the
American people want that challenge
from Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Cox and their
notwithstanding party. We think they
want to meet it at close quarters. They
want to get at Mr.. Wilson's issue and
Mr.. Cox's issue in the simple, homely
American fashion Of bare knuckles.
They want to pulverize it, and so we
think the American people will.
New York Times
Governor Cox, in his speech of ac-
ceptance, discloses himself to his fell
low-country men as first-class
fighting man. He does not wait to be
nations. But COX demands specl-
fcatlons.
The speech at once topples over the
whole series of fantastic imaginings
with which the Republicans have been
comforting their hearts. Gov
ernor Cox commits himself in the full
est way to the league.
If Americans were merely standing
by as spectators at the contest they
could not fail to admire the dash and
vigor with which Governor Cox goes
after Senator Harding. The latter had
vaguely outlined his plans for peace
with Germany and concord with other
other nations. But Cox demands
specifications.
Equally pointed and precise is the
language used by the Governor in show
ing the folly or insincerity of the
Harding suggestion that, after throw
ing over the league, he could arrange
some kind of moonshine understand
ing" with other nations.
