Accepting tho Results


THE TRUE American spirit is to accept
the decision Of the majority at the polls
as the obligation OF the whole to make that
decision effective in the carrying out of the
policies to which 1t commits the nation.
The losers in tho contest, therefore, will in
dulge in no vain regrets over what might
have been" but turning their faces hope
fully and courageously to the future, will
join their best efforts to those of tho party
that has been elevated to power in admin is
tering the government in accordance with
the popular will. Though there may be diff
ferences OF opinion as to the methods by
which the future welfare of the country may
best be promoted, all are united in the one
purpose Of holding tho nation true to its
ideals as fundamental TO the success of any
policy which seeks the attainment of this
object.
In the conduct Of our foreign relations
Presidcnt-elcct Harding has insisted that he
has not deviated from the plank in the Re-
publican platform dealing with that subject

this statement no has been supported by
the expressed conviction of such eminent
party leaders as Taft, Root, Hughes, Lodge
and others OF its integrity as indicating a
set purpose to effect an association for tho
preservation OF the future peace OF the
world.
AS to domestic policies, the Republican
platform is pledged to 4 constructive pro-
gram OF legislative and administrative re-
forms, which. if carried out, will go a long
ways in remedying tho evils Of which the
country complains.
This program comprehends many legis-
lativc and administrative undertakings, both
remedial and progressive. and If it be faith
fully carried out, will so far toward solv-
ng the problems now confronting the coun-
try, and will open up to it new opportunities

Responsibility Fully Placed

IN THE landslide which gave tho Repubi-
cans the presidency, the party also Sc
cured control Of both houses of Congress.
In tho House they have q majority OF over
100, and in the Senate majority of sixteen
with possibility OF Il further increase OF
one or two votes.
1t is, perhaps. just as we'll that it hap
pened so. With control OF both the execu-
tive and Legislative branches Of the govern
mcnt, full, responsibility will rest on the
Republican party for the future conduct of
public affairs. With the majority as large
as it is in each house, factional differences
within their own membership over policies
to be applied will not serve as an excuse for
nonperformance of pledges to which the
party is committed. Platform promises must
be kept inviolate. else the country will de-
mand to know why tho party has betrayed
the trust rcposed in it.. These promises
include program Of much constructive
legislation. The conditions which contribut-
ed to- Democratic defeat must be faced and
overcome. To meet this expectation is n
big undertaking. 1t involves readjustment
to conditions thrown sadly out Of gear by
our huge war effort, and by processes which
must not run counter to undefeata able eco
nomc law. Therein lies the great difficulty
OF their undertaking. The mechanism OF
the country's industrial structure is so conf
plcated that all Of it's parts must be kept
perfectly adjusted. otherwise impingements
may result which slow up all of its opera
tons.
In legislative undertakings, therefore,
there is always this risk of disaster through
inexpert tinkering. Have the Republicans
the craftsmanship to carry out their pro-
gram OF promised legislation without upset
ting the industrial equilibrium and causing
more disturbance than they cure? Aye,
there's tho rub. It's up to them.
