the platform declaration at Chicago.
While the league plank in the Chicago
platform Is full of antiquities. II is an
indorsementa of the positions Of the ir-
reconcilables and a reputation of the
Lodge reservations. The league plank
Is not frank. The convention should have
displayed the courage clearly TO declare
its policy, but the Chicago convention
was frank on only one subject, in sing
ing hymn of hate for the President.
The chief issue Is whether the
United States shall contract with other
nations to prevent unnecessary war !;
whether the waste and sacrifices of un =
Justifiable conflicts shall be superseded
by orderly tribunals for the settlement
OF disputes among nations.
If the Republicans win, the small
nations which obtained their independ-
ence through association in the war
with the Allies will be overcome by their
recent enemies, and Europe quickly will
collapse into its pre-war condition Of
oppression and threatened anarchy. Our
country will incur the distrust and con =
tempt of her former allies and our peo-
pie will earn n reputation for selfish
ness and irresponsibility which will re-
quire centuries to counteract.
Heritage Of Bloodshed
''ff this war ends and the Allies go
their separate ways without substitut- =
ing justice for force in the settlement Of
International disputes, the generations
to come will be born to a heritage Of
wastefulness and bloodshed. The world
wants and must have some substantial
advice, some compensation for what it
lost and suffered in the war. If the del =
egates in this convention do their duty
as our soldiers have done theirs, the
voters of the nation will not fail them.
IL we make this issue boldly we will
win.
"Will the women Of America who
gave their men to our uniform prove
Indifferent to the cause Of forever rem
dering impossible the recurrence Of such
a struggle as the war just ended? 1t Is
profoundly significant that the move
ments for woman suffrage and for the
prevention Of needless wars proceed
simultaneously. The immediate ratif
cation of the equal suffrage amendment
will assure victory for the Democratic
party on a platform favoring the ratifi
cation of the treaty without destruc.
tive reservations. The women Of Amer
lea stand for peace and against war.
Never before has a nation wide po
litical battle been waged In the cause
of international justice, humanity and
peace. The opposition has taken low
and untenable ground. Let the Demo
cratic party occupy the heights. Never
again will any great political party in
America openly invite disaster by tri-
fling with great problems.

West Wants No More Wars
The writer has been at some pains to
observe and inquire about the popular
attitude on the League of Nations. not
because it is q proposal Of President
Wilson'S, but because 1t seems to be
the only immediate plan to prevent
further wars. That Is how mention Of
the league Is always coupled--as n
method of preserving peace. Every
where and among all classes there was
the same idea. The West, which, by the
way, elected Wilson on the anti-war
idea, is still as heartily opposed to war
vince the voters that it is doing its ut
most along this line in some practical
and concrete way is the one which Is
going to get the most states west Of the
Mississippi
The Republicans in the East have
got to wake up to this fact and wake
up soon or they will find the story OF
eight and four years ago repeated.
Herein lies the explanation, prob
ably, for the undoubtedly sincere opti-
mistic sentiments surprisingly in evi-
dence among the rank and file of the
Democrats where a month ago they
were mostly In the doldrums. This
feeling was a matter of general com
ment in the press sections of the con
vention yesterday. Indeed Cummings
points on the league issue were pri-
vately approved as Strong" rca
stuff" and difficult to answer by
Republicans and independent editors
and correspondents, as well asp thu
Democrats, and the effect of his utter
ances was to start a presidential boon
for tho chairman as a dark horse.
Harding Should Act
The logic of the situation for tn
Republicans is now plain. If they wan
to win they have the opportunity. Th
public is ready for change of partie
at Washington. The voters out here IL
the West are not enamored of Wilson
ism as such any more than in the East
but this question of doing away will
war is bigger in the mind of the peo
pie than we have been led to under
stand by such misrepresentation of th
West as Johnson and Borah.
Senator Harding cannot too sooi
follow the advice of Mr.. Hoover ant
give his own Interpretation to tn,
cross eyed. straddling Chicago League
plank. That Interpretation ought t.
be promise to commit the party t
the ratification of the treaty and tn,
league covenant with definite inter
pretative reservations about which ther,
can be no dubiety. The league is ,
great issue, rip -snorting issue, whether
the Republicans like it or not, and i
cannot be lodged with safety.

This sort of Christianity is well worth
looking up. dear EVENING PUBLIC

some other of Mr.. Gumpe's friends will
be moved to extend the glad hand to
that gentleman in recognition of his
superior brand of ethics.
Your present correspondent has n

to Heaven their emphatic underdogness
Long live Mr.. Gump and his friend
