The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1920-07-23

"Can there be any uOuDt tnat the
higgling of the Germans over the
terms of the treaty which they sign
ed year ago, is the direct result of
Americas not being in the League?
Can there be any doubt that they are
playing for time, to see what the
American people will do in Novem-
Der? Can there be any doubt that
If America endorses the action of
those who kept us out of the League,
the Germans will come out boldly and
reject the treaty as another scrap of
paper? And this will mean war.
Another Hindenburg Line will be
stretched across Europe. What, then
will America Do?"-Hartford Herald
We could as safely say that the lore
of the Chalden Sages and occult mys-.
teries of the oldenePersian Magis are
to us as an open book, but to the
some half dozen questions contained
in the foregoing editorial we might as
we'll say yes. The future has not been
made bare to our circumscribed vi
sion, however, in a manner so plain
perhaps, as is the case with the au-
thor of the above interogatories, but
If the world in general, and the Unit
ed States of America in particular, is
to be as badly humbugged and bum
coed about this great and all-wise
war preventive prepared by Wood
row Wilson as self-appointed spokes-
man for America, and which he has
so unrelentingly strived to jam down
the necks of the people, when by
their representatives duly and con-
speaking they have said
that they do not want it, as they were
when you were crying from every
stump and hilltop, even from Main
to California, and the otherwise
across too, that the great Wilson had
kept us out of war, and that if we
would only elect HIM'again he would
continue to keep us out of war; Then
] say, may the good Lord Of the uni
verse. continue to help those COM
planned of in the editorial, and 9TH
ers, to continue to keep us out or this
abominable thing he Herald would
las.en up1a us. ! on fooled us so
about HIS keeping us out
of war that we simply don't wish to
lie down cold and swallow another
dose of medicine from DR.. Wilson's
bottle the second time without hav-
ing a strong antidote ready and, at
hand. The reservations demanded by
the Republicans and asked for by
numbers of Democrats is, we think
antidote to Wilson's poison. 1t
seems that what the Herald wants
is another opportunity to send Amer
ica's young men back to Europe
again, not only to France and Ger
many but to almost every corner of |
the European world. Is the Herald |
for making the United States bare |

every little and big turmoil that is
now, and hereafter to arise, with her
bone, blood and sinew? Everybody, |
unless it be a few of the most narrow |
visioned and hide-bound partisans
agree that unconditional acceptance |
Of the Presidents League means that.
And you are in favor of tive Won
der? Yes, we wonder what the para
mount issue may be in 1924, if this
thing should be adopted and we are
as badly fooled as we were in 1916
With your battle yell-HE kept us out
Of war? Vote for Wilson and have
peace, a sweet peace, vote for Hughes
and have war. Have you forgotten
about that? And now, you try the
same sort of a game, but four
years is too short span of time in
which to forget your other false cry.
