REPUBLICAN CONVENTION EP0CHAL
LEADERS OPTIMISTIC FOR THE FUTURE
SENATOR HENRY c. LODGE
KEYNOTE OF CAMPAIGN; NATIONS AND MEXICO
CENTER OF ATTACK MANDATE FOR MEXICO

All roads lead to the Coliseum in
Chicago this week and all are inter-
ested in the program to be outlined by
the republican party. The history of
republicanism has an enviable record
for sane and constructive work. For
years after the Civil war the party
was in control and under their wise
administration the country had a mar
velous growth and great industries
sprang into existence. 1t seemed that
all progress lay in the wake of re-
publicanism, and in the present ma
tional convention at Chicago there is
a certain splendid spirit of confidence
and optimism. It is the judgment of
Senator Henry c. Lodge, who made
the keynote speech as temporary
chairman, that the need of the repub-
lie at this time is the application of
republican principles. He defends the
senate's action on the treaty of peace
as a patriotic duty. He tossed the
challenge to all who think different
ly in the following words:
eve make an issue; we ask appre-
citation for what we have done; and
the people will now tell US what they
think of Mr.. Wilson's league and the
ed to accept mandate for Armenia. ~
The campaign of 1920 will be fought
around the league of nations. The
problems facing the nation were clear
ly and incisively presented. Chief
among them was the Mexico question
He declared: "Mexico lies at our door
1t is a primary duty for us to deal
with it under the Monroe Doctrine, but
nothing has been done and we are ask
to accept mandate for Armenia"
We append few of the pungent
paragraphs from the address:
Cause of High Prices.
Another deep-seated cause of the
rise of prices, more effective in its
results, though less obvious than prof.
iteering, is the abnormal increase pei
capita of the circulating medium. This
has doubled since the war began and
if in the space of few years the
amount of the circulating medium is
doubled it has most profound effect
in stimulating and advancing prices.
During the war credits have been
enormously inflated and there have
been large additions to the currency
through the federal reserve banks.
Here it is possible to check the ad-
vance of prices by law. We can pro-
vide for the control of credits in such
a manner as to give preference to the
most essential products. We are also
able to reduce the amount of the cir
culating medium in the form of fed
eral reserve bank notes, the authority
having been given during the war to
increase the issue Of these notes from
two billions to four billions. It should
be one of the first acts of congress to
deal with this essential point and it
would have a marked effect in re-
ducing prices by steadying them and
bringing them down to a lower and
more normal level.

U. S. Loses Influence.

The mere statement seems incred-
lble but it is in exact accordance with
the facts in some cases. Still nothing
was done and we watched and waited.
Naturally we lost our influence in
Mexico and what was far more i'm
portant we lost the respect of the
Mexican people by the manner in
which we submitted to every sort of
insult and outrage.
We have watched and waited long
enough. 1t is time that this condi-
tion, disgraceful to us and ruinous to
Mexico, should cease. We need
firm hand at the helm. We need a
man who will think not only of the
rights of the United States but of the
welfare of Mexico. The Mexican peo-
pie would not resent the influence of
intervention of the United States if it
would only help to bring them peace
under president of their own choos-
ing. The great mass of the Mexican
people wish to work and earn money.
They long to be able to sleep in peace
and not be subject to pillage and out
rage. Thousands of them look to US
for help. Let the Mexicans choose as
their president some strong and up
right man who is friendly to the Unit
ed States and determined to establish
order and then let the United States
give him real and cordial support,
and SO strengthen and uphold him
that he will be able to exterminate
the bandits and put an end to the un-
| ceasing civil war which has we'll night
completely ruined one of the finest
and most valuable countries on the
face of the earth.
Wants New Policy.
We must watch and wait no longer.
We must have man who has a pol
icy and who will act. Nothing can
ever be accomplished under the Will
son administration or any administra-
tlon in sympathy with it, Their mis-
cradle record Of hopeless failure in
Mexico has been unbroken for seven
years. The time has come to put an
end to this Mexican situation, which
is a shame to the United States and
disgrace to our civilization. If we
are to take part in pacifying and help
ing the world, let US begin here at
home in Mexico. If we assert and
protect the Monroe doctrine against
Europe, as we must for our own safe
ty, we must also accept and fulfill
the duties and responsibilities which
that doctrine imposes.
The president has been unable or |
unwilling to do anything for Mexico,
where civil war has ragged for wears
where anarchy exists and where the
people are suffering. But he thinks
it our duty to take mandate for Ar
menia, which would involve our send |
ing an army there for an indefinite

iaiiy StlOulu every ellOII De maze TO
advance the productivity of the farms.
Just how much the government can
do in this direction is uncertain. but
it can aid and support and if anything
can be done it must not be omitted
or overlooked. At the same time
it must not be forgotten that there
is vast difference between the pow
ers of the national government in time
of war and those which it possesses in
time of peace. The normal limitations
in time of peace restrict very much
the powers of the general government
and in helping to increase the produc-
tivity of the farms, which must be
done through government action, the
republican party promises to use ev-
cry power in this direction whether
within the state or federal jurisdic-
tion.
A National Policy.
The railroad law possesses also an
Importance wholly distinct from it's
provisions, which have been framed
with extreme care. This act declares
a national policy and, so far as any law
can do it, establishes that policy as
rule of action. The policy embod-
led in the bill comedies at the outset
that it is of course impossible to re-
turn to the old system or lack of
system in the management of rail-
roads. They must henceforth be un-
der thorough government SUPERVISION
and also the government must have
over them large measure of control.
The transportation system of the
country can no longer be suffered to
continue without such supervision and
control. But the policy also repre-
sents the principle that the govern
ment must be left in private owner
ship. The phrase government owner
ship" means not only that the gov
ernment shall own the railroads but
also, it is to be feared, that those who
run the railroads shall own the gov
ernment. General government owner
ship under our political system would
inevitably bring about the mastery of
the government by those who operate
the machinery of transportation or of
any other industries which come into
government possession.
Rights of Public.
The rights of the general public, for
whom all industries exist, would dis
appear under this scheme and nothing
would be left to the people except the
duty of paying taxes to support the
roads. That is very perilous posi-
tion for a representative democracy.
Our government. must not be dominat-
ed by any one man or any class or
any selected body Of men who repre-
sent part of the people and not the
whole people. Moreover, in the Unit
ed States, government ownership
wherever applied to an industry,
whether it involves transportation or
telegraphic and telephone communi-
cation or shipbulding or manufacture
ing, is very inefficient and waste
full system, badly managed and GER
tain to be intolerably burdensome to
the taxpayers.
This point it is not necessary to
argue because the country through
the demands of war turned the rail-
roads over to the government and we
have had the painful privilege of OBJ
serving the performance which fol-
lowed. The government management

Goldfish was prepared in the chafing
dish, the griddle used in making jel-
lied fruit salad was heated in the

appetizing meal.
Mrs. Allen has had many inquiries
from men regarding a correspondence
course in cookery and for some
months she has been conducting a
cookery class for men, and she Is
also planning a class for Boy Scouts.
Presumably the men have read an
article in a recent number of Har-
per's Magazine by a popular writer on
chemistry for everyman, IN which he
states that the master Of the house
should also be the cook for the rea-
son that he should not entrust this
delicate and important art to any
body else. Good form would require
OF him that he be an artist in respect
to cookery. This would solve the cook

and the base. The galvanized iron

A small piece OF slate 8 inches by .

base anxIe-iron OF the inside frame
nearest the side for mounting the
control board and htted with three
terminals. The aluminium or iron
sheeting must also be cut away from
the back of this board as the termi-
nails must. not touch any metal.
The heating unit Is composed of a
piece OF soapstone 11h inches by IL
inches by ~ inches thick. II must
be drilled. Eishtyfour feet OF No. 20
iron resistance wire Is wound as a
tight spring on a 3-32-inch drill-rod
and then stretched so that no two ad-
jacent turns touch. The expanded
spring is threaded through the holes

Two pieces of " Inch square iron
bar. about IL inches long. should be
placed on the bottom OF the inside
framework before putting the soap

an Insulating wall of air, retaining
the greater amount of heat which
would otherwise have been lost in
contact with the bottom of the con-
tainer.
Asbestos wool, purchased at almost
any hardware store, lis then packed
between the containers.
Small pieces OF No. 10 asbestos-cov-
cred wire connect between the termi-

A suitable square cover should be
bent out of sheet iron, the corners
welded together and built about 8
inches thick so as to be filled with
asbestos wool.

As a result of this construction the
cooker Is insulated from all sides, pre-
venting radiation and insuring the
efficient use of all the heat stored
