Individual Responsibility

We deem it our privilege to en-
phaslze the present need for per-
sonal efficiency on the part Of every
individual, to the end that our nation
may become powerful in the sense
of having those qualities which will
insure success and happiness to the
generations yet unborn. 1t Is our
candid belief that in the acceptance
Of this doctrine we have positive as
surance of return to the full-din-
ner-pail days of former Republican
administrations. Let your decision
rest on the basic foundation Of
business administration, on the issue
Of applying twentieth century COM
mon sense.-Emil w. Zingg.

ay OF Soldier Bonus Denounced as Breeding Unrest

But it IS Roosevelt the constructor.
the teacher, the defender and creator
of modern Americenism.
No set Of personal states Of mind or
habits, no individual plan of leanings
or tastes or manners, constitutes a
legitimate object of loyalty in the
American system Of thinking and feel
ing.
We cannot afford to be loyal in peace
time to any man as he may be so con-
ceived. We may only be loyal to an
idea, a principle, an institution.
Hence. let US once for all demolish

does not pay wages out of capital
indefinitely. Labor produces It's own

Furthermore, he must be brought
to see this question from the ethical
side. If labor advances its claims in
utter disregard Of the rights Of all
other groups of society, the reaction
upon itself will be one of demoraliza-

Finally, labor must be taught that

That is, it will meet defeat if the

Conservation of Energy
Given as Fundamental Plank

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Republican platform should
be liberal constructive and provisional
for future generations. These charac-
teristics should apply to the treaty,
economic issues, sound business admin
lstration and readjustment to effort
spent.
Developed and conserved energy in
service requires larger dividends and a
living wage. This plank, backed by
men of common sense in measures of
educational efficiency, equalization in

Americanization, who will assume their
consummation, will bring peace

To-Day's Prize Letter

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The labor question calls for
plaip speaking. To straddle this
question or evade 1t would be un-
polite and unpatriotic. What we
want is the whole truth. The time
has como for showdown.
In the first place, let US admit the
right OF labor to unionize and to
strive for higher wages. Let US ad-
NIT, with reservations, the right of
labor to strike. But this is not the
whole problem.
or greater Importance are these
questions:
l. How can we prevent the growth
of class distinction?
2: What can we do to promote nm
understanding Of economic principles
and devotion to ethical principles.
3. How can we perpetuate govern
ment by the majority?
There is tendency to speak and
think of laboring men as a class
Labor itself is largely responsible
for this tendency. We are all parts
OF one big industrial unit. Capital
and labor are parts of one whole.
And no one element in our industrial
machine can isolate itself as class
and make special demands for itself
as class without jeopardizing the
common welfare.
One big reason for this growth of
class spirit is to be found in the lack
of knowledge Of elementary economic

Federal Board of Education

o the EDITOR OF The Tribune.
Sir; Affirming that illiteracy in the
United States should be reduced and
that every citizen and future citizen
should have the benefits of common
school education. the Republican party
should favor a Federal board of educa-
tion, not only to secure unification and
standardization in the elementary
schools. but to insure the same length
of term in rural districts as in cities
and towns.
Such a board would assist in the
establishment of evening" schools Of
elementary instruction for adults.

Sir: Everycitizen of the United tsates
of America should feel the RESPONSE
bility to improve his or her standard
of efficiency, whether he or she be as
sociated in politics. business, educa-
ton, industry or labor.
In order to do this, each of US must
through personal effort improve our
own opportunities through prepared
ness. When We are able to understand
through the efficiency standards, peace
and happiness will be for all who strive
for success.

international Union

The Republican party conceives 1t
to be Americas solemn duty actively
to support the establishment of some
form of international union which
shall invite universal confidence and
cooperation, and have as it's primary
objectives: % the codifcation of
definite principles of international
law; (2) the creation of machinery
for peaceably settling international
disputes, and (3) the adoption of
other measures to promote harmoni-
Gus international relations. AS a pre-
liminary step in this direction we
favor the ratification of the Treaty
of Versailles with such reservations
that our sovereignty may not be

You must fight film

To get white teeth, or save your
teeth, you must above all fight the film.
Film is the teetI's great enemy
that viscous film which you feel with
your tongue. Most tooth troubles are
now traced to it.
Film clings to teeth, enters crevices
and stays. Then, between your dental
cleanings, it may do a ceaseless dam
age. And it also makes teeth dingy.
It is the flm-coat that. discolors
not the teeth. Film is the basis of
tartar. 1t holds food substance which
fernents and forms acid. It holds the
acid in contact with the teeth to cause
decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. Also of other serious troubles,
local and internal.
New-York tribune., 1920-04-20
Why very few escape

The ordinary tooth paste does not
dissolve film, so the tooth british has
left much of it intact. Thus millions
have found that well-brushed teeth
still discolor and decay. Statistics
show that tooth troubles have been
constantly increasing, and very few
escape.
Dental science, on this account, has
sought film conbatant. Now, after
much research, the method has been
found. For five years it has been sub
jected to scientific tests. And now
leading dentists all over America are
urging its daily use.
The method is now embodied in
dentifrice called Pepsodent. This is an
ideal modern tooth paste, made to meet
every new-day requirement But,
above all, it efficiently fights film.

Unkeepable Promise.

We protest against the President
of the United States making promises
which are incapable of fulfllment
either to the people of the United
States or to foreign governments.
They create both dissatisfaction and
misunderstanding, ultimately giving
birth to suspicion and distrust. both
among our own people and among
other governments.-A. E. Mont

York City.
New-York tribune., 1920-04-20
Supplied to millions

A ten-day test of Pepsodent has
been supplied to millions. Thus it has
quickly come into very general use.
Now we urge that every home it.
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the
digestant of albumin. The film is al
luminous matter. The object of Pep
sodent is to dissolve it, then to day by
day combat it.
