a 81 EANuT" POLITICIAN.

1t has remained for the r publican
parry to have tn honor CD of be-
Ing The frst . rrt q wcman on the
road as Il POLITICAL speaker.
Miss Barer's address here, a brief
summary appearing elsewhere in this
paper, must have been disappoint-
ing to her auditors. 1t did not meas
ure up, showed lack of breadth and
depth, and contained number of
inaccuracies and positive misstate-
ments. Some wag, disclaming any
disrespect, has dubbed her the "pea-
nut politician" because of hcr state
ment that an entire Virginia district
would send q Republican to Congr 'Ta
this fall on peanut platform. This
peanut growers want protection. she
said, high priced peanuts. 1t did no:
occur to this wonderful speal.er, that
she was talking to a peanTt-eating
crowd, who want cheap Pc nlits.
In listening to the address of this
Vermont German woman, one was
forced to the conclusion, reached
many time, that women seldom if
ever reason logically. and that wo-
men show to much better advantage
and are more effective, on other than
political forums.

WHAT DID MORRIS TELL?

This editorial was crowded out of
last issue.)
Maj. Morris, who spoke here in
the interest OF Mr.. Slemp and Mr..
Harding, according to the testimony
of two intelligent gentlemen who
heard him-one Republican, the
other Democrat, said that when he
was in France he heard from u num-
Der of English soldiers, that it was
understood ut Versailles, that pact
was entered into between Premier
Lloyd George and President Wilson,
that if the League was put through
as planned, that he, Mr.. Wilson, was
to be President of the League and
of the world, and that the British
Empire was to have what she want
ed. Maj. Morris was particular to
state, that he gave this as he heard
it, and did not know whether it was
true or not. He heard it several
times, and in different places.
The preposterous, monumental
meanness in any one who will give
currency to such report, will be
apparent to every intelligent man
and woman who heard Mr.. Morris.
To give currency to Islander or n
lie is no less reprehensiblc than to
originate the lie in the first place.
What would be thought of a man
who should privately or publicly, give
currency to report which he had
heard, affecting the reputation of
some man or woman of his town or
community? The statement 81 heard
this report but do not know whether
it is true or not" would not rob the
report of its sting, nor clear the
slanderer of guilt. This preposterous
report was heard here for the first
time. Could such scheme have been
on foot in Versailles without being
known there and condemned? 1t
looks like n campaign lie out of the
whole cloth, fabricated by somebody
in order to discredit President Will
son and the Democratic administra-
ton. Whether Mr.. Morris lied when
he gave currency to this lie, we
leave our readers to judge for them
selves. Never before has there been
such an opportunity as in this cam
paign to instruct and educate the
people on great national and inter
national questions. Instead we have
lot of flapdoodle and undertaking
and mud-slinging. Anything to beat
Wilson," is the slogan.

WHY NOT THE LEAGUE OF MA.
TIONS AS WELL?

The Constitution of the United
States had to run the gauntlet of
great opposition from its enemies.
There were good and great men
who honestly thought the document
should not be adopted, and the fight
against it was long and bitter. It
was adopted finally as we all know,
and proved to be effective from tho
start. Up to this time this wonderful
document has been amended nine
teen times-changed to meet chang
cd conditions and requirements. Tho
League of Nations and Peace Treaty
Is only great Constitution binding
not states, as did ours, but nations
instead. Then why not adopt it and
put it into effect and get things
settled, and, as occasion demands
amend it, as was done in the case
OF the Constitution of the United
States, which was covenant and
peace treaty between States? 1t could
be done and would have ben long
ago but for jealous and bitter poll
ticians.

manity's sake."-Warren G. Hard
ing, in his speech at Wheeling, w.
VA.
1t is difficult to believe that the
Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency could be guilty of the utter
ance above quoted. If we did not go
to war for humanity's sake, what do
the 10000 American crosses in Fland
ers fields represent? Did the forty
Tazewell boys give their lives for
nothing? Did they die absolutely in
vain? According to the Republican
candidates view the sacrifices made,
the heart pangs suffered, the pri-
vations undergone amounted to moth
ing. The Red Cross and Liberty Loan

main the impression he made on his

themselves into the memories of peo-
people who can quote them verbatim.

Livery utterance of Senator Hard
ing demonstrates the sagacity of the
clique that nominated him. Without
u real issue and with u promise of
conflicting party leadership, it was
necessary to select a candidate who
could ride with the hounds and hide
with the hare. They got him. Senator
Harding is u past master at phras-
ing glittering generalities that sound
well but mean nothing. He is the
worlds champion political bunco-
steerer. His campaign has insincerity
stamped on every phase of it. If he
gets across with it, Barnum's saying
that the American people like to be
humbugged will have been verified.

ed to leave the democratic party
when Woodrow Wilson sent his ulti-
nation to the German government.
