A Campaign of Fake

In speech at Boston, President Charles W. Elliot
Harvard speaking the issues of the election declared:
Wha is the main condition fact concerning which the
American voters to render verdict? The main fact is
that small group of Republican senators have prevented
the American people from doing their part in the great en-
tepre which devised and proposed by the international
conference at Paris the given for their action by the
members of the group being selfish, and cowardy
that they together constitute sander the national
character ! must confess that unable to understand
how any believer in the American sort of liberty with
security can hesitate about his choice
Concerning the advice of Taft Hoover and Root to vote
for Harding he says: "These to be unanimously
favor of League of Nations but at the time
mend their countymen to put into the presidency man
who rejects the only League of Nons which has been ac

We have the unique spectacle of Hiram Johnson and the

for Harding and kill the League and another platform

What tribute to the nsincery and dupcity of the once

The FPeSllct.

The rain had fallen steadily for
two days and two nights - not
Just a gentle drizzle, but heavy
downpour.
For some time it did not in the
least disturb Brownie Beaver and
his neighbors - that is to say, all
but one of them. For there was a
very old gentleman in the village
known as Grandaddy Beaver who
began to worry almost as soon as
ii began to rain.
We're a-going to have a fresh
et," he said to everybody he met.
1--WE seen 'em start many a time
and | can always tell a freshet al
most as soon as l see it coming. "
Grandaddy Beavers friends paid
no heed to his warning. And some
of them were so unkind as to laugh
when the old gentleman crawled
on top Of his house and began to
mend it.
You young folks can poke fun
at me if you want to- said Gran

In the houses where the water
had climbed above the bedroom
floors the people all agreed that it
was afreshet and that Grandaddy
Beaver had been right all the time.
But there We're still plenty of peo-
pie who thought the old gentle
man was mistaken.

You mark my words."
When he came to Brownie Beav-

Pleasures.

God intended US to smile
An enjoy ourselves the while.
He knew we'd come to sorrow
An our eyes would fill with tears,
He knew we'd get upset
An find cares that make us fret,
So He strewed the flowers o.
pleasure
Down the valley of the years.
Since He gave us different minds,
He made pleasures of all kinds,
And there's no one ever lived her,
But could find his special joy;
This old world is crammed SO full
OF the glad n'beautiful,
That whatever suits our fancy
We can find it, man or boy.
Some of US it seems there are
Who prefer to travel far,
Seeking wonders an excitement
An strange scenes. An so they

over as he and his dead wife had
/ fused over their only baby. -
"Steve?"
"Sir?"
"You are sure you will be quite
happy here?"
"Yes, sir"
"Would YOU" A pause; and
again he looked up into the child's
face, and again he smiled.
steve, 1 never had little girl
It's funny, isn't it?'
Yes, sir"
A silence.
Would you like to TO go to
d private school?"
The child did not understand. SO
ne told her about such schools and
the little girls who went to them.
She seemed deeply interested; her
grey eyes were clear and seriously
intelligent, and very, very intently
fixed on him in an effort to follow
and understand what he was say
ing.
He told her about other children
who lived amid happy surround
ings; what they did. how they
were cared for, schooled, brought
up; what was expected of them by
the world - what was required by
the world from those. who had had
advantages of home, of training,
of friends, and of an education. He
was committing himself with every
word, and refused to believe it.
AT times he paused to question
her, and she always nodded seri-
ously that she understood.
But this" he added smilingly,
you may not entirely comprehend,
Steve; that such children, brought
up as l have explained to you, owe
the human race a debt which is
never cancelled" He was talking
to himself now, more than to her;
voicing his thoughts; feeling his
way toward the expression of a
philosophy which he had hereto
fore only vaguely entertained.
The hope of the world lies in
such children, Steve" he said.
THE world has a right to expect
service from them. You don't un-
derstand, do you?"
Her wonderfully clear eyes were
almost beautiful with intelligence
as they looked straight into his.
Perhaps the child understood more
than she herself realized, more
than he believed she understood.
"Shall 1 come to see you again.
Steve?'
Yes sir, please"
There was pause. Very gently
the slight pressure of his arm,
which had crept around her, con-
Veyed to her its wistful meaning;
and when she understood she lean
ed slowly toward him in winning
response, and offered her lips with
a gravity that captivated him.
Goodbye. Steve, dear" he said

sut Brownie Beaver didn't mind

| daddy Beaver, but I'm a-goine
right ahead and make my house as
strong as l can. For when the
freshet gets here l don't want my
home washed away"
All day long people would stor
to watch the old fellow upon his
roof. And everybody thought it
was great joke - until the sec
ond day came and everybody no.
ticed that it was raining Just as
hard as ever.
But no one except Grandaddy
Beaver had ever heard of a fresh
ct at that time of year. So even
then nobody else went to work on
his house, though some people did
stop smiling. A freshet, you
knowsSis serious thing.
AS the second day passed, the
rain seemed to fall harder. And
still Grandaddy Beaver kept put
ting ne wsticks on the ROOF of his
house and plastering; mud over
them. And at last Brownie Beaver
began to think that perhaps the
old gentleman was right, after all,
and that maybe everybody else was
wrong.
So Brownie went home and set
to work. And all his neighbors at
once began to smile at him.
But Brownie Beaver didn't mind
that
My roof needed mending, any,
how, he said. And if we should
have a freshet, I'll be ready for it,
And if we don't have one, theren

Now, all this time the water had
been rising slowly. But that was
no more than everyone expected.

Americas War objects.

In an address delivered at a join
session of the two houses of con-
gress, April 9, 1917, President Wi.
son stated With the utmost com
pactuess the objects of the govern
ment and people of the United
States in going to war with Ger
many:
"our object is to vindicate the
principles of peace and Justice in
the life of the world as against self
ish and autocratic power, and to
set up amongst the really free and
self-governed peoples of the world
such a concert OF purpose a,Aa OF
action as win henceforth insure the
observance of those principles. "
"A steadfast concert for peace
can never be maintained except by
4 partnership of democratic as.
tons, No autocratic government
could be trusted to keep faith with
In il or observe its covenants. 1t
must be league of honor, a rsrr-
nership of opinoin,
THE world must be made safe
for democracy. Its peace must be
planted upon the tested founda-
tions of political liberty.
we fight for the things which
we have always carried nearest our
hearts-for democracy, for the
right of those who submit to au-
thority to have voice in govern
ments. for the rights and liberties
of small nations, for a universal
of right by such a concert
OF free peoples as shall bring peace
and safety to all nations and make
the world itself at least free"
This is also an exact state
ment OF what America ought to
continue TO do at all risks. In ord
ee that the fruits of their military
victory may be gradually secured.

/ Flag Day, June IA. 1917, when our
armies were gathering and all our
! industries were rushing to make
the supplies and means of trans
portation necessary to put our
young men at work on fields of
blood in France, President Will
son closed with these words:
Ior us there is but one choice.
we have made. E, Once more
we shall make good with our lives
ana fortunes the great faith to
which we were born, and a new
glory shall shine in the face of our
people"
That glory did shine, until Rep
ub,ican Senators began. first. to
intertere--without constitutional
right-in the negotiations which
We're going on in Paris. and so to
dtminuish the influence and auth
ority of the American delegate at
that conference, and then to urge
the whole American people to alb
nadon the course of conduct which
President Wilson and the great
majority of the Democratic party
had advocated, and to adopt the
selfish, timid, and dishonorable
course advocated by the opponents
of the League.
And now the Republican plat
form praises those Senators. and
the candidate nominated by the
Republican convention gives notice
that he will oppose the ratification
of the Covenant and Treate of
Versailles.
CTo-morrow Pres. Eliot will dis
euss the problem that all habitual
Republicans should consider be-
fore casting their veto.
