the Chicago platform-thcy antici-
pate you in dcriding the intellectual
antics OF Senator Uarding-and then
they draw a long breath and say.
But you must conccdc that the ro-
publican party has "a lot more men OF
ability to draw upon than the demo-
Gratis have"
The obvious rctort is: why didn't
the republicans draw upon one at
Chicago?" But let us suppress this
rude answer and examine the argu-
mont specifically there is some
thing TO be said for it. 1t would bo
hard to name a democrat Of the nc
kncw'cdscd attainments Of EHhu
Root--or another republican. for that
manner. The republicans are also
fortunate in possessing a man Of the
rare ability ot Charles r. Hughes.
Probably they could muster a larger
number OF men just below this rank
than the democrats could assemble.
But this by no means proves that the
democrats party lacks sufficient men
Of celiber to conduct the business Of
the government.
Tho argument OF superior republi-
can ability leaves out Of the account
one simple thing-the ends to which
this superior ability is to be directed
Imagine what the country would have
thought in 1910 IL IN reply to the
charge that the republicans had re-
vised the tariff upward when they
had been elected upon the under
standing that they were going to re-
wise it downward they had said:
But look at tho able way in which
we did it," Candidates and parties
have been defeated for the very rca-
son that they were capable---of doing
the wong thing. We have never
heard the most faithful republican
go into ccstssies in public over the
achievements Of Senator Penrose. al
though that eminent republicans 8
ability is no longer a subject Of de-
bate.
what kind OF political ability is il
which frames a platform and names
a candidate chat offend a host OF the
ableet members OF the party? Polit-
ical ability deserving the high praise
that discDutenied republicans bestow
upon their party should show itself
chiefly in the prime essentials Of
policy and personnel a merely ad-
ministrativo ability. while good
enough in its way, Is of far less value
than the ability to frame progress
sive program aud to choose an in
spring leader. Republicans who en-
phasizc their party's possession Of the
minor kind OF ability virtually con-
fess its lack Of the major kind.

GOl'S NOT NECLECTING THIS
KAMPART

No matter which way the vLser
turns now, he or she in the present
campaign always coufronts the Unit
ed States Senate.
The senate. for partisan purposes,
kept America out Of peace by reject
ing the peace treaty.
Then il imposed its viii on the re-
publican party by sounding its key
note, writing its platform ana picking
its candidatg-out OF its own member
ship.
And now it appears again in the
distribution of campaign funds.
There are 43j members OF the
house of representatives to be elected
this fan. and only thIrty-two sena-
tors; yet The treasurer Of the rapubI.-
can campaign committee has admit
ted under oath that the committee is
advancing half a million dollars for
the republican senatorial campaign
committee, and only S2OO,OOO for the
republican congressional committee.
That's $459.77 for each congress
sional seat and $l5.G25 for each SEN
atorship!
And the legal limit Of campaign
expenditures for a senatorship is
$4,000!
This is very Illuminating.
1t shows what power the senate
has gained over the lives and destin-
les Of the American people. 1t shows
what greater power it is reaching out
for when it plots to get control OF
the presidency. 1t shows what the
elements in control of the republican
party think Of the popular branch Of
congress as compared with the sen.
ate. whore the party has a Majority
made up OF Newberry and I.aFollett,
and hopes with this illegal half
million dollar senatorial campaign
fu.-d to bulwark its control there
more strongly,
Former Governor Mccall. writing
in the Atlantic, has said that tn,
senate has stood as the rampant. not
indeed, Of property but Of great anc
special interests"
1t is plain that the republican party
! does not intend that this rampant Of
privilege shall be neglected in thi.
campaign,
The St. Joseph observer., 1920-09-25

and the trips that Harding shall
make? 1t appears that the differ
cucc will be in the number and
length OF the trips and the frequency
with which the candidate appears to
the gaze OF the common herd. This
way lies dignity. Harding is to make
a trip to New York and possibly" go
into Ncw Jersey and Connecticut; not
very far, but at least go in. But it is
held that it would be undigniricd for
the candidate to make more than one
speech between Marion and New
York. and they seem inclined to put
him off at Buffalo for that. The
rear platform is not mentioned. Per-
haps it has been ruled out altogether
as a thing unclean and accursed
which even popular huzzahs and the
throwing up OF "sweaty nightcaps"
could not redeem.
The candidate is also to come west.
1t seems to be the feeling OF Chair
man Hays that it would be undigni-
fled for Mr.. Harding to go west of
omaha. At any rate he expresses
doubt whether he will go west OF
omaha And the speeches are to be
carefully appointed. Not more than
one a day, and this in the most i'm
posing auditorium in the city. with
much local preparation for the event.
Nor will the candidate speak in every
state where thcre is contest for
senator. This would be undlgnified.
The national committee is wrest-
ling with the awful subject. Its an
nouncoment will be made soon. No
doubt it would please the committee
if the people could be made TO sit up
nights to see the candidates train
pass-just to see it pass-or come in,
but no manner Of bringing this ABOUT
has been suggested.
The St. Joseph observer., 1920-09-25
HOW HIS MANNERS DO "SHoCK
TIIEAI."

In the absence of any issue, except
hatred OF Woodrow Wilson, on which
they are able to agree. the republican
newspapers have taken to deploring
the campaign manners of Governor
Cox. No doubt Mr.. Miske thinks Dr.
Dempsey has had manners too. In
stead OF being depressed. the COVER
nor seems to enjoy these manifesto
tions OF disapproval. who is It that
is squealing?" he asks. 1T is the
same crowd that fought a sick man in
his bed in the White House for a
year"
That, of course. is different. Demo-
Gratis. and especially democratic pres
idents, are not entitled to any benefit
OF courtesy. They are ferae naturae,
wild things that anybody can run
down; but republicans ought TO be
dealt with gently and sweetly. Nat
urally, when the governor keeps in
slsting that Senator Harding shall
speak plain words" tho republican
press IL shocked. Plain words are
rough stuff that has no place In a
pussyfooung campaign.
The St. Joseph observer., 1920-09-25

ucts OF buchanan and Andrew county
farms brought the producers less than
half as much as they now receive;
there was no federal reserve system ;
panics were as frequent as the sea-
sons. and national bank failures oc-
CURED on an average of one every
three weeks; there was no farm loan
system; small farmers were the vic
Tins of mortgage bank pirates and
tenancy was the curse of the land !;
there was no federal aid in road
building. and every farmer paid a
mud tax; there was no merchant
marine; there was none of the many
benificent enactments of the last two
democratic administrations, which
wrested the power of government out
of the hands of a few and lodged it
in the hands of the people. In these
days OF "normalcy" an insdious lobby
guided the hand that wrote the laws
placed upon the nations statute
books, until driven from the capitol
as the money changers of old were
iashed from the temple.
Such was "normalcy" in the "old
times" for which the "Old Guard"

speaking through its candidates, so
feryently signs.

is enough TO run any campaign on,
but we, guess. Homer doesn't realize
how thoroughly we efficient mem
bers OF the party of moral ideas do
things.
while we're for tho ticket all
right and will never desert Warren,
we cannot bring ourself to be quite SO
partisan as Sour kind employer and
other prominent and influential re-
publicans would like us to be. and 1t
always omuses us to receive an i'm
passioned document under Senator
Lodges frank protesting in the most
vigorous and scandalizcd terms
against the abuse OF the franking
privilege. in this campaign 10y con-
scienceless friends and supporters of
the present administration.
Personality is a great asset for a
candidate. and our dear old friend
and fellow progressive Warren Hard
ing has it to such an extent that he
can make one of his earnest addresses
on the reclamation of western lands
and leave the impression upon those
who actually hear him that he has
taken a frank and bold position on
the paramount issue of the times.
"Wo haven't seen anything yet OF
that twelve word slogan that was 60
ing to bring certain victory to our
great party. and we wired VIII Hays
yesterday asking il he didn't think
this might do: The honor OF Ameri-
ca is at stake, but. boys, get the
money.
we are beginning to feel conf
dent that wsrrenIl let us have any
thing we want in the way OF O league
OF nations. provided we let him cnil
it a republican one.
THE campaign may not be so ter
rib'y exciting yet, but it Is not with
out its intense and constantly grow
ing intellectual interest to US earnest
and faithful republicans. as we sit
around from day to day wondering
what our position on the league OF
nations will be after our glorious
candidate's next speech. and If this
be moral leprosy make the most OF
it,"

Put Out the Substitutes

The Columbia Tribune calls on -.
Anti-Saloon League to finish up their
job in that city. 1t claims that but
small amount of real spirits are now
used in that city, but the substitute
therefor. known as Jake" is more
damaging than the old-fashioned
spirits That a large amount of it is
being drunk in that city as is evil
denced by many drunks every day.
1t is of the opinion that anti-saloon
forces have failed to give this menace
any attentino and there are more
people being killed by it than was
ever occasioned by the drinking of
whisky. 1t is evident that the pro-
hibition job is not finished and its
promised blessings will not material
ize until the substitutes now being
used are effectually put out OF USE

ANOTHER wIGGLE ron HARDING

In the days when Andrew Johnson
was President il was remarked that
in his successive speeches you could
see him grow" In Senator Hard
ings it may not be growth that Is
witnessed. but il Is certainly change.
Whether ore takes him forward or
backward-from his speech OF accept
ance to the present time or the re-
verse-his shifting OF ground is un-
mistlkablc. Perhaps the best way to
show this is to begin with his state
ment on Sunday through Mr.. Wick
ersham and through the correspon-
dent OF the New York Times at Mar
ion We find that AIR Harding does
not wholly and finally reject the
league" lie merely wants it
amended" He recognizes that ii
may have como SO entwined and in
t"rwOveu in the peace Of Europe that
its good work and its unobjcctiouable
provisions must be preserved" Mr..
HardinE's own words are: There Is
much that is good in the covenant.
1 have no desire TO fling that all
aside" He added; Il want those
who believe in a new association of
nations to feel that the cause is by
no means flung aside"
This is the senator's position in
September. What was 1t in July d?
Then he said: 1T will avail nothing
to discuss in detail the league cove
nant. which was conceived for world
super government" MIR. Harding was
familiar in July with the argument
that European relationships" were
'inextricably interviewer in the league
compact" but what inference did he
then draw? Merely that this fact
"only magnifies our own good for
tune in resisting involvement" The
senator now desires to preserve all
that is good in the league. But what
was his conviction on August 2S?
Why. that the league has undoubt-
edly passed beyond the possibility of
restoration" The force OF centradic-
tiOn could scarcely go further.
