Inteiyent Democrats and Some Other Curious Things
President Wilson having signed the Ameri-
can Merchant Marine BILL Jones bill, annun H. ds

signed by himself it does not because he dsapproves
It,
The Presidents authority to annul legislation Will
presumably be passed upon by Congress would not Do
respectful useful for individual to question the fres
dents authority But this question arises:
Just what laws permanently in existence? 10 what
extent could the President by explaining that ne did not
understand law when he signed it, annul other laws
passed by Congress and signed by himself?
If the President who represents one branch OF govern
ing power can declare laws void after they have been
passed signed could not Congress- another branch OF
the same power also recall its acts? Are all laws
temporary
There are some intelligent Democrats in
New Hampshire Perhaps they noticed the Maine election
and other things.
They flavor the League of Nations but their idea is
to take Article OUT Of it. That reminds you Of the
gentleman that would amend the Ten Commandments by
taking out the word not would have settled the
Ten Commandments.
Taking out Article would settle the League of Ma

American fighters that have won the medal OF honor

''We are unalteraby opposed to the approval of
any League of Nations which would give such league

headed in the direction of conservatism, and will follow
that direction for a long time.

People ought not to be radical until they know HOW
to think radically saney and in lawabdng fashion at the
same time
The statement that Mr. Gompers breaks with radical lead
that he does not approve Of the
shown by women in England to control the government
for which they work and the country in which they live
Whether Mr. Gompers opposes it or not we could not
possibly have in the United States such labor movement

In France they are all Frenchmen in England all Brit

Here we are of ALL natonalities. Each nationality
hates at least two Others And with difficulty they
be made to agree.
Labor is divided, it does not trust it's own
leaders, and its leaders do trust the rank and e
Capital is united and intelligent Capital trusts and

for many day.
