Since Congress adjourned, members
of President Wilson's cabinet have
gone about the country condemning
the Republican congress for its PEN
uriousness in cutting appropriations.
Almost at the same time that the Re-
publican congress is condemned by a
member of the cabinet for reducing
expenses, Mr. Cox makes the deliber-
ate statement that 'the Republican
congress has not made single effort
to lift from the American people the
load of war taxation that cannot be
tolerated in time of peace" In view
of this statement of facts, which per-
mits of no contradiction, what will the
verdict of the American people be
when they mark their ballots in Nov
ember as to the fitness of Mr.. Cox to
be the spokesman of the government
of the United States in the manage
ment of domestic affairs and in the
conduct of foreign relations? 1t is a
rule of law stated by every judge in
the conduct of every trial before a
Jury that a witness found false in one
particular is to be regarded with sus-
picion in every other particular.

law of the land was acknowledged as
such by all sections. And this diver
sity of opinion arose among a homo
geneous people, descended from the
same parent stock, inheriting similar
ideals of government. and possessing
like moral concepts. What, then,
would be the confusion of counsel, the
conflicting interpretations, the resis-
tance to authority of document
which Mr.. Wilson himself was quite
incapable of expounding to the senate
conference of August 1919? Would
the Mohammedan agree with the
Christian; the Mongolian with the
Caucasian; the Bolshevik with the
Republican; the Polygamous Turk
with the homogeneous Anglo-Saxon?

another world war to consummate

Senator Harding declares that
drives are on to nationalize industry,
to denationalize government and in
ternationalize the world and he is op-
posed to them all. They are all at
variance with everything which has
made our country great. We have
prospered by opposing them. The

itself in every crucial test. Senator

The Republican party stands for the
encouragement of the individual to
put forth his best efforts believing
that progress can come only from the
aggregate of individual energy and
thrift. The Democratic party stands
for paternalism, encouraging the peo-
pie to look to the government for their
every need. The Republican party is
for private ownership: the Democratic
party for government ownership.

treaty as framed originally. The rec
ommendation urged the ratification of
the treaty, including the league OF ma
tions covenant, without amendment
Your committee" says the report,
.is of the opinion that the treaty, In
cluding the proposal for league OF
nations, should be ratified without
amendment. 1t is particularly fitting
that the United States should support
the proposal for this league. The
league is based upon our own expert
ence in a federation of states enjoy
ing liberty and peace"
In all the long and sophistical de-
bate carried on by the protagonists OF
internationalism and the league COW
enant, no more inapt comparison, no
more boneheaded lapse of logic, has
been exhibited than is to be found in
that statement. Our experience in
federation of states has been drawn
wholly from government under the
federal constitution. In the constitu-
ton as originally adopted, but little
provision was made for the guaranty
to the individual of sphere of liberty
not to be encroached upon by the fed
eral government. To reetify that situ-
alton the first congress after the adop-
ton of the constitution passed and
submitted to the several states OF the
union ten amendments popularly
known as the Bill of Rights. Not un-
til their ratification by the states did
the federal constitution come into full
operation, declaration to that effect
being issued December Is, 1871. If
the signers of the report are unaware
of that fact they are chargeable with
an ignorance concerning the drafting
of the supreme law of the land which
is positively disgraceful to lawyers
occupying their position, and which
vitiates the report they have rendered.
Precisely as the states sought thru
the Bill of Rights, to guarantee to the
individual sphere of liberty not to
be encroached upon by the federal
government, the senate sought, thru
it's several reservations to the league
covenant, to guarantee to America a
sphere of liberty not to be encroached
upon by the super-state which Wilson
the internationalist. attempted to set
up. Ine senate reservations ioi iio"

To the Bridgeport Times:
In reading over the Bridgeport
Times 1 find it is one of the best read
papers in Bridgeport. 1t gives you
all the news of Bridgeport. Not part
of it like the Post does. The Post
is in for the jitneys like the mayor.
They don't have anything to say in
favor of the trolley. Many 100 of
papers the trolleys have carried for
the Post, without pay. So I think
that the Post should be in favor of
the trolleys much as they are for
the iitneys. Will the jitneys carry
papers for them as then. If they see
a boy with a bundle of papers they
put him off and tell him to take a
trolley car. The jitneys are trying
to get the right side of the trolley in
New Haven. But do let them. Look
at the person in that little town of
Waterbury. They got together the
right way and put the jitney on a
road by themselves. And keep them
off the road that trolleys run over.
If they run on the road that the
trolley runs it will cost them $1,000
fine. It don't look SO they were
asleep. The person of this town is
asleep. Come now mayor let US hear
