Turning the Screws Upon Wood

1T is evident that the Republican foes of
1 General Leonard Wood are not satisfied
to have Hiram johnson achieve an even
break with him in the presidential pri-
maries. They are not satisfied to have him
go TO Chicago with a first ballot lead.
They are not satisfied for him to
hold what he has. They want to finish the
job of discrediting him before the conven-
ton assemblies. They hope to keep up the
offensive against him TO the end that he
will drop out of the equation before the
time comes for the convention to cast
vote.
This is the Interpretation put upon the
activities of the anti-Wood forces, led by
Senators Borah and Kenyon, in the Senate
following the Wood victory in Indiana and
Maryland Borah has demanded q sweep
ing investigation by committee of the
Senate into all the campaign receipts and
expenditures OF all the presidential candi-
dates. His resolution calling for this has
been formally introduced and he has assur-
ances, he says, that it will be brought for
ward and put TO vote. The manifest point
of this measure is the dynamiting of the
Wood campaign. Against no other candi-
date has it been charged that undue eXpen-
ditures have been made, but it is common
knowledge that the Wood. campaign has
been undcrwritten by powerful financial in
OF the facts will put the general completely
out Of the running.
AS a support to the Borah program, Sena-
tor Kenyon has placed in the Congressional
Record letter from the Du Pont powder
interests with the purpose of showing that
such an investigation as Borah has called
for cannot be sidetracked without dishonor
to the Republican party. 1t is even init
mated that to wink at these matters now
is to invite scandal after the convention
has acted which may bring about the in
glorious defeat OF the Republican candidate.
The average man is inclined TO the view
that the investigation should proceed. The
issue involved is infinitely more important
than the candidacy OF Leonard Wood or of
Hiram Johnson or of any other individual.
1t involves the integrity OF the American
political system. The presidency is an Of

he had the command Of all the money In

BY DAVID Il. HOUSTON.

1t is idle to say that this country can be in
TINS world ana stu live apart from it. We
cannot escape cntanglement with the rest Of
the world. and it is our part to see to IL that
such tragedy as the recent war shall not oc-
cur again, go.
Our burdens would be suf6ciont1y ,he,yv re
we had peace. The burden Of the world would
be sufficiently heavy if men everywhere could
devote their thoughts exclusively TO the BUSH
ness CT liquidating the war.
Tho conditions in Europe are still chaotic
n N ih sothe directions scarcely Improving.
Europe is still lighting in several places Eu-
rope IS not disarmnE or relieving herself OF
the burdens OF heavy armament as we had
hoped she might.
The new nations do not know how TO make
their plans because some OF them do not know
what aiignments will be made or what the

countries fiscal conditions. financial conditions

some directions show tendencies for the worse
imitation persists and extends. Some govern
TAents still resort to methods which they should
not have resorted to 1T tho outset and their
rulers seem TO lack the courage to ann,v tho
necessary remedies.
There Is one great nation In Europe which
IN the moro than five years since the war
began raised less in that entire time nv taxa
ton than Great Britain or this country raised
III one year. and still they debate how to meet
thciF burdens and resort to borrowing stupid :
~ asserting that the money isn't there: AZ IL
you could set from loans when Won can't get

cue from this nation. as IL we were going to
send good money after bad into the bottom

Here the situation is very much better, just
AS IL is III Great Britan. Great Britain has
practiced sounder financial methods since tho
outset, and the present indications are that
she may. after nll her enormous sacrifices and
burdens, come through the current year with
a balance budget. Italy Is taking stems which
may lead to larger stability.
