Radicalism has been permitted to-
have too great q swing in America.
This has been largely due to the fact
that the government and the people
have not, until the last year or SO,
been alive to the real menace. Sena-
tor Harding is but giving expression
to. the house Of all Americans that the
government shall take the lead in an
educational plan to combat the mis-
statements and misrepresentati ons Of
extremists. M
In the same interview the republican.
candidate in speaking of employer and
employee, says. N:
Il have faithin men: believe that
the average man is square;;I be-
lieve in labor's fairness when treated
squarely and given. an opportunity to
become familiar with facts pertaining
to their vocation. If employers would
be more frank with their employees
they would soon find different feel-
ing existing in industry. Working
men should be made thoroughly fanli1-
lar with conditions, so that when the.
ultra radical comes along, grossly
disappearing conditions, the work
singman can intelligently refufe his
statements" .ss
All of which is good American doc
trine; doctrine that will appeal to the
honest workingman, the honest en-
ployer and the public. It is a con-
structive review Of some of the rea-
sons for the unrest in the country to-
day with which the present admins
,tration has so unnecessarily COPIED
Senator Harding has a plain way Of
reaching into the very heart Of things,
finding the seat Of the trouble, and
pointing the course for America to
take.-Frgo Forum. *1,&5
. CAPITALIZING A GREAT NAME
It is ! apparent that Franklin
Roosevelt was nominated as demo-
cratic candidate for vice president
simply on account of his name. AS an
assistant secretary Of the navy depart-
ment, he would never have otherwise
attracted enough attention to bring
him formard in a national sense. Hon
orable Wesley Mcdowell Of Marion,
N. D., well known democrat of the
state, made the most Of the Roosevelt
halo by referring to the associations
in western North Dakota in which
Theodore Roosevelt was identified as
a cattle raiser many years ago. Thru
out the entire trip the speakers with
Franklin Roosevelt have made prom
inent the fact that the democratic can
didate bears the r oosevelt name and
this is evidently to be the star argu-
ment in Franklin's behalf.
Franklin D. Roosevelt is the fifth
cousin tos& Theodore Roosevelt. He
.snodestly', accepted in, his James
town speech, the advertising which the
name had given him through the ct
forts. Of others, and added a bit for
himself by saying that while he was 9
democrat he had progressive Roose-
welt inclinations.3
It may be indicate at this time to
mention criticisms which Franklin
Roosevelt's record has created and
which have been discussed in the col
umns of influential eastern journals
that have facilities for knowing the
facts and particularly in regard to
Mr.. Roosevelt's extreme activity in
protecting his chief, the present sec
rotary Of the navy in connection with
certain scandalous conditions in which
all the truth has been evidently with
held. AS an official Franklin Roose-
welt has not heretofore demonstrated
that he is bigger than the average de-
partment politician, holding q job UNI
