What Habitual Republicans Should
Consider

The difference between the dem
ocratic policy and the republican
lin respect to the covenant and the
troaty Is now clearly defined. S.
is the difference between Presi-
dent wilson's ideals and those OF
the present republican leaders.
Which ideals are the majority OF
the American voters going to pre-
fer? Which leaders are tney going
to follow -- the heirs of President
Wilson's policies or the republican
leaders who have kept the United
States out of the league and poured
contempt and insults on President
Wilson's character, manners and
measures.
If president Wilson'S estimate of
the moral quality of the American
people is correct, many young vot-
ers, and many eN-soldiers, many
fathers and mothers of sons who
died or were crippled in the war,
and many nonpartisan or indepen-

leadership of those republicans who
have lost sight of the fact that the
republican party was at its origin
the party which stood for human
liberty. for Justice 10 the oppressed.
and for a great expectancy of good
for suffering humanity.
The Fali Of the Republican Party.
The fail OF the republican party
between the summer of 1918 and
the summer of 1890 is an extraor-
dinary political phenomenon. In
1918 a group of republican leaders,
headed by Henry Cabot Lodge,
used the following language;
This Is not the presidents per-
sonal war. This is not the war of
congress. II is not the war of the
democratic or the republican party.
Il is the war OF the American peo-
pie. II is more. II is the war of
he United States. of the allied
powers. of the civilized world |
against the barbarism OF Germany.
N this great burden and responsi- |
,ility the republican party. repre-
entlne more than half the citizen
hip OF the country demands its
ightful share"
According TO the Chicago plat
orin. the republican party in 1870
taads for agreement among the
ations to preserve the peace of
he world; but this must be effect
d through a new association of
ations and without deprivlng the

Building things OF brick and stone,
Writing books and making deals,
Gathering treasure you may own.
These are tasks the day reveals;
Some are difficult to do,
Some require much strength of

Patience, courage, genius, too.
But there is greater still,
OF life's duties large or small;
Whereby men find blame or

This is greatest of them all -
Having little ones to raise.
We may fail in brick and stone,
And but little harm is done;
We may lose the gold we own
And the world will still go on;
We may blunder through the day,

CIVILIZATION Imperiled by Our Action
Since the triumph of these re-
publican leaders in the senate some
new calamities have befallen En-
rope and the near east and some
ned dangers threaten democracy
and civilization.
War has broken ont again in Eu-
rope ana the near east at several
points. The very existence of Po-
iand as free nation has been inn
periled,, millions of people lack
food. clothing. and fuel. and the
industrial and financial restoration
OF the belligerent nations is cruelty
delayed. MARKHAM socialism. with
its despotc super-state, seems to
be gaining ground on the conti-
nent and labor union socialism in
Great Britain. 1t seems probable.
though not certain, that these new
evils would not have occurred and
these new dangers would not have
arisen il the sane and strong influ-
ence of the United States had been
eNerted from the beginning in the
league of nations.
Now, the league of nations al
ready contains thirty-nine nations;
it is in operation, and has made
important contributions toward a |
proper organization of the league
and its various agencies. But its
benencent action is crippled by |
the absence of the United States
as member of the executive coun-
ell of the league.
The republicans candidate forl
president declares that he will not
carry the country into the existing
league of nations. The party, in
stead of demanding its rightful
share in the burden and response
hiiity of the war, proposes that
this country take no share in the
burden of securing the fruits of the
war. and advises the American
people to look first to the main
