Republican Stand
Against All War
Favored as Issue
Immediate Adoption of the
League of Nations, With
Lodge Reservations, Ap-
proved as Firm Policy
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: America for the Americans is an
excellent slogan, but this country cannot
disregard the necessities, policies or
activities of the rest of the world
therefore, while avoiding any foreipn
relations which would entanele this
nation with intricate disputes. the
power and influence of America should
always be exerted to prevent agpres-
sion and future wars, and to stabilize
or equallze as far as possible the eco
nomlc conditions throughout the world.
Such policy must in the end benefit
this country.
The league of nations with the Lodge
reservations (to which no other nation
seems to raise any serious obiection)
should be ratified forthwith, and the
door opened wide to a gradual deter
mination of all pending questions and
rapid reconstruction in this country
and abroad
Free speech and press most certain
ly. but with reasonable limitations:
stringent laws are more than ever
necessary to control the perncious agi-
ttators who make fat livings by delud-
ing the masses with false doctrines
and fatuous promises. These dishon-
orable trouble makers call for serious
attention.

Republican Party Policy
To the Editor Of The Tribune

l.
Sir: Horace C. Coon, in his prize let
ter of the 9Th inst, tells us what is
needed to bring our mental attitudes,
our expansive philosophy, our under
standing of social and economic under
currents up to date, viz: "A benevo-
lent and enlightened capitalism" And
although he says the spirit of Theodore
Roosevelt will lead US to victory this
year, he repeats, 1--WE must think Of an
enlightened and benevolent capitalism
winch is synonymous with the new
'republicanism'
This would be excellent if the think
ing people could rule, as we believe
they should; but it is Elusive and fall
lacious, because politicians never con
suit thinking people.
What We need to get straight is that
our Immense national wealth and pros
perlty have had to fight their way
through the ranks Of ali sorts Of 20,
litical faiths in order to progress and
be assets worth while. Our govern
ment, which Mr.. Coon confuses with
our people, is being gradually adjusted
to run according to the rule thas our
forefathers laid down; for, be 1t known
to Mr.. Coon and our platform judges,
this country never has yet been run
according to that rule.
A benevolent and an eniirhten.d c,n.
italism!
Let me tell you how to get it.
Enact Federal control law. q three
ln-one instrument, defining the limits
of exploitation, the right to strike and
the rights Of the people for redress
and protection against disorder and
loss atte ending labor troubles that are
Incidental to lack of benevolent and
enlightened capitalism.
Thinking. plain thinking, is inaction
in these days
we want more stress, greater en-
phasls' finer moral support Of our free
press; greater publicity given our free
press; more liberty for its greater work
OF universal education. and, finally,
honest patronage and square dealing.

Laws to Guard
Childhood joys

Employment of Boys and
Girls of Tender Age
Branded a Direct Blow
at Nations Interests
a the Editor of The Tribune

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Although much favorable leg
: ;.aticn has been enacted by the vari-
Gus states as result Of protests
against the employmensof child labor,
the situation is still far from salts
factory. Many states have done lit
tie or nothing and in others unscrup-
ployers have found little difficulty in
evading the laws through false state
ments and indifference to responsi-
bifity.
This practice not only robs the child
Of the legitimate joys of childhood,
stunts its development, mentally, NOR
ally and physically, but deprives the
nation Of the sort of citizens that we
need; the sort Of citizenship which in
wolves q longer period in schools and
on the Fairgrounds than is conceded
the children Of the poor in many states.
Every child should be kept in school
be proved that they are learning
profitable trade in factory or office,
in which event they might be allowed
TO leave school at the age Of sixteen.
Even then no growing girl or boy
should be allowed to work as many
hours q day as an adult, but hours
should be regulated according to age
till the twenty-first birthday has been
passed.
By adopting such plan any loss in
production occurring during these
years would be more than offset by
tine increased productivity of future
years. An added advantage would be
the development of better citizens.
There is not the slightest doubt in
the mind of any fair minded man or
woman that the exploitation of chill
dren by greedy manufacturers is b
crime against the nation and human
ity; a crime of sufficient magnitude
to warrant immediate and drastic ac-
ton in the next Congress.
crime against a nation should re-
ceive national recognition, and a Re-
publican platform should contain
plank providing for the abolishng of
this evil through national legislation
Laws should be passed with penalties
sufficiently severe to deter offenders.

preciates the conditions in which the
party finds itself to-day, will agree
that defeat at the polls four years
ago would have served the party far
better than a victory has served.
Mr.. Root, at the Republican State
Convention in Saratoga two years
ago, suggested that his party might
better die in the right than live in
the wrong.
If the Republican party will select
from its ranks that man who it
considers to be the best man for the
Job, if it will adopt platform fitted
only to real national needs, if it will
say to the voters that it would rather
stand by that man and that platform
and lose than win with any other.
then will the American voter behold
new thing in American politics and
vote accordingly.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Republican party is called

should endeavor to return the govern

really have government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people"
"a government which is directly re-

Sir: The Republican party will
have chance in the making Of the

planks which are most necessary to

Whereas, the very life Of our re-

an educated electorate; and, whereas.
notwithstanding vast endowments for
the establishment and maintenance
of schools, there is still an appalling
percentage Of illiteracy among our
people, due largely to lack Of uni

We therefore favor an amendment to

Give Labor Share in Profits

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The forces of labor and capital
are pulling in opposite directions
Harmony is lacking. Why? Because
labor does not share the profits of
capital, but merely receives wage for
work. So long as this continues labor
and capital will continue not "pulling'
dend or share in the profits of capital
in the way of shares of unissued stock,
or this lacking, additional stock could
be issued for the laborer, then a far
different relationship would exist be-
tween labor and capital.

Including holding any office that they
are qualified to fill There should be
