The Democrats Are In Mess-The
World Club to the Front Again.

"Well, the Democratic convention
after more than week Of fighting and
wrangling finally nominated man
whom very few Democrats seem TO
want" said Uncle Ted, as the children
gather around for their evening story
who is he?" asked Ruth.
James NJ. Cox, Governor of Ohio,
Ruth. The funny part about 1t all is
that they couldn't agree on man I'M
til they had cast forty-four ballots
with three recesses to try and settle
their differences. Two of these recess
es were for three hours each and one
for twenty-four hours. Warren u
Harding was nominated on the tenth
ballot after on erecess and everybody
lie ftthe Republican convention salts
fed that the best possible man had
been nominated. But not so with the
Democrats. From the very start it was
seen that they could not agree upon
Mr.. McAdoo, although he held out in
tie lead for quite a while. Mr.. Cox
must now make his fight for the Presi-
dency upon the Democratic platform
alone, and must stand up at all times
for the world club plan. And yet the
convention was divided upon the world
club question, for many of them did
not want to go on record in favor OF
1t as Woodrow Wilson still says 1t
must be accepted. Mr.. Cox will have
to stand up for the world club and If
it falls, that is If the majority OF the
people OF, the country care more for
America than they do for sending
American boys to be killed in the de-
Tense of foreign countries, then Mr.
Cox will fall with it. Aside from the
many qualities Of Mr.. Harding which
make him the one man for the Presi-
dency at this time, he will be elected
because he and his party are opposed
to the world club while Mr.. Cox ant
the Democrats are for it. 1t is all JUS

many weeks ago, that the world club
plan would be the real issue of the
campaign no matter what anyone may
say. 1t has not been buried as an is
sue. The people have learned in the
past months what terrible thing 1t
would be and they will never vote for
a party that has at its head man who
cares more for the welfare of Europe
than he does for the welfare of his
own country.
What has happened to our foreign
relations? We are without any means
of acting with other counties simply
because our President would not listen
to the judgment of the majority of the
United States Senate who said that the
tried and time-old system handed
down from the days of George Wash
ington could not be beaten. Why are
we still technically at war with Ger
many? Because Woodrow Wilson
would not sign the paper passed by
Congress declaring peace"
"Why wouldn't he sign it," asked
Jack.
"He said, because 1t was a disgrace
to make peace that way, but probably
his real and only reason was that II
we couldn't have peace the way he
wanted it we wouldn't have any at all.
The people of the United States will
never agree that system for the
handling our foreign relations franz
ed in few hours in Paris surrounded
by foreign influences is better than a
system planned for days by the fathers
of this country and tried for and
proved through hundred years use!
You see, Riddles, while the Repub-
licans had their difficulties too, yet
they got together early In the game
even before the convention-as far
back as the Senate debate over the
world club. The split nthe Democrat
is party over the world club question
is so wide that everyone knows about
it and they will have a mighty hard
time getting togather, while the Re-
publicans are united solidly on every
one of the great issues.

Going back to the things that led up to

Senator Reed said, the President came
over to this country more than year

of the league of nations 1.-THE world
club plan). He said he didn't want. it
even made public or discussed, be-
cause, presumably, the stupid fools Of
Americans couldn't understand it.
That tells the whole story. Mr.. Will
son didn't want the people to know the
real danger back of the world club in
the hope that 1t could be put across be-
fore they found out. But the majority
of the Senators saved American rights
by going slowly. In the meantime the
people of the country have read it and
they have heard it discussed and they
don't want it. And Furthermore, they
will hear lot more about 1t before
the campaign this summer is over. The

LEAGUE
MEANS WAR

During negotiations in Europe

therein of a League of Nations GOV
enInt, President Wilson said to the
representative Of the kingdom OF
Rumania, you must not forget that
it is force which is the final guaran-
tee of the public peace. 800. If the
world is again troubled, if the condi-
tons hat we all regard as funda-
mental are upset and contested the
guarantee which is given you means
that the United States will send to
this side of the ocean their army and
their feet"
1t is largely that condition which
causes the American people to hesi-
tate to become a party to the League
of Nations. If the controversies which
arise in Europe in the future were
controversies of which the United
States might be a party, or in which
it might have an interest, or for
which it might be responsible in some
degree, her there would be small
hesitancy in standing ready to send
the army and the fleet across the
ocean to uphold the honor and the
rights of the United States. But such
was not the limitation upon the
given by President Will
SON; nor are such the limitations
upon the obligations contained in the
League of Nations covenant. Accord
ing to the provisions of that inter-
national agreement any controversy
which threatened the peace of the
the League council to take up for in
vestigation and decision, and if the
decision of that council should be that
the United States should send its
fleet and its army across the ocean,
this country would be confronted with
the alternative of obeying that man
late or becoming subject to the
charge of repudiating its promises.
Violation of pledges is n of the
things the people of the United States
will not contemplate. Because the
obligations of the League covenant
are so vague in terms and so limitless
in possibilities, the people of this
country and their representatives in
congress refuse to become bound
thereby. Making a contract in blank
to send troops and ships in the num-
bers and at the times that may be
determined by a council controlled
by European nations. is or undertake
ing that does not appeal to the wis
a blank contract few men would
make in their private undertakings.
1t is fortunate for the country, there
fore. that this nation cannot be bound
either morally or legally by the act
of its chief executive without the ex-
press concurrence of a two-thirds
majority of the United State senate,
acting after there has been oppor-
tunity for the fullest presentation of
facts and the freest discussion of all
phases of the subject.
1t is true, as President Wilson de-
clared, that force is the final guaran-
tee of the public peace of Europe in
accordance with the edicts of a coun-
Gil controlled by European nations.

PROTECTION LOWERS
COST OF LIVING

COST OF LIVING
1t has been a favorite argument OF
free traders that. although a protec-
tive tariff may increase wages, it also
increases the price the wage Garner
must pay for the commodities he
consumes and that in the end the
laborer gets no benefit from the tar
if. Theoretically that argument is
very plausible. If it were true that
an import duty is always added to the
cost of a commodity the increase in
wages due to a protective tariff would
practically always be reflected in a
higher cost of the commodity pro-
duced. But experience has shown
that such is not the case. Under the
protection of an import duty a home
industry is built up, competition
brings about a reduction in price, and
there is a very prosperous industry
which can afford to pay high wages
and keep the cost of the commodity
down by reason of the large extent
of production.
That the cost of living does not go
up under a protective system in pro-
portion to the rate of duty, has been
demonstrated time and time again.
1t is not necessary to take the word
of a protection advocate for the truth
fulness of this statement. In 1911
Great Britain sent a special commit
tee to the United States to investi-
gate the question of wages and cost
of living in this country, the partic-
ular purpose being to ascertain
whether or not the people of the
United States were gamers or losers
by the maintenance of the protective
tariff policy. That committee cade
its report to parliament and the re-
port has been published. Speaking
of conditions in the United States at
a time when a Republican protective
tariff was in effect and when home
production, importation, and the cost
of living were under the influence of
a protective tariff policy. the British
commission had this to say regarding
the relation between wages and cost
of living in protective United . States
and free trade England:
"The comparison of wages,
hours of labor, rents. and prices
. show that the workingmen's
pay would be higher in the Unit
ed States by about 1870 per cent,
with slightly shorter hours, while
on the other hand his expendi-
ture on food and rent would be
higher by about 30 per cent"
The commission also made com
ment upon the fact disclosed by the
investigation that American families
are larger consumer of meat and
vegetables than British families; that
they live in better houses, wear bet
ter clothes, spend more upon recrea-
ton and amusement, have larger
sums in the savings banks, and a
larger proportion of them own their
homes.
This testimony from a British au-
thority sent officially to the United
States to make an impartial investi-
cation ought to be a sufficient answer
to those free traders who endeavor
for some unexplainable purpose to con-
vince the people of this country that
the higher wages secured under a
protective tariff are offset by the
higher costs of living.
