Americans, Keep America Free

For many years in the early life of this
republic the southern states dominated the ma
ton through their control of congress and the
presidency.
This control was bad for the nation. 1t built
up slavery and made the slave-owning oligarchy
of the south the real rulers of the republic. This
oigarchy sought to perpetuate it's control by ex-
tending slavery to states and territories where
labor was free.
fratricida war was fought before the slav-
cry power could be overthrow and this country
be made a nation of free men; the nation as we
know it today, and love.
Before the southern slave power had been built
up, before our country was in any sense Tree
republic, the king and nobility of England were
it's masters.
The longer this mastership lasted the harder
became the conditions surrounding the freedom
of our ancestors, the early American colonists.
Rulership exercised across three thousand
miles of the Atlantic ocean resulted finally in the
grossest tyranny. Our ancestors revoted and
fought for their freedom against their British
masters.
From the very beginning of our great Revo-
lutionary war the outstanding leader was George
Washington One of the richest men in America
at that tine, he threw fortune and self into wars
great gamble that his fellow Americans might
be free; that future generations of Americans
might be born and remain free.
Through seven gruelling years of warfare
Washington's courage and military genius kept
the cause of freedom alive and finally made it
triumphant. European mastership was driven
from our shores and a new ideal of freedom was
set up for all the earth.
In the last years of his life, and from his long
and ripe experience, Washington laid down for
national policy, which, if always adhered to-
will maintain our freedom. In his farewell ad
dress he urgently advised his fellow countrymer
to avoid entangling alliances with foreign coun
tries.
Today an American president, termed great
by his admirers, sneers at the great Washington

Today's Talk
ON BEING DISAPPOINTED

Disappointment doesn't have to be
defned-we all know what it is.
Disappointment comes to us all. But
it never fails to leave-in time. That
is the encouraging thing about it.
There are ways to handle disap-
pointment. In a rough shod sort Of a
statement, the best way to handle it is
to grin and bear it" while it lasts

But when disappointment comes tC
us and is as fresh as early dew, we
are not apt to welcome happy words
of counsel. We are very much alone
when disappointment comes.
There are things to remember, how
ever, in connection with being disap
pointed.
Disappointment is a problem. And
you will have to solve it as you would
a problem in mathematics. And wher
You have it solved-it is gone.
Many of the happenings of life
which at the time seem to bring gloon
and cloud, in reality are forerunnerE

Is European diplomacy today any less crooked
than it was in the days of Washington? Is it any
less provocative of wars?
Have European characteristics of greedy land
grabbing changed at all in the hundred and
twenty odd years since Washington's time?
The leopard doesn't change his spots!
The Democratic nominee for president, James
Cox, is going up and down the nation stating that
his mind is as one'' with President Wilson's.
He is for the Wilson League of Nations,
though, to be sure, since reservations are popu-
lar, he agrees to put some in if he has anything
to do with it.
Can you afford to trust this man whose
mind is as one' with President Wilson's with
the tremendous power of the presidency in the
settlement of this great question?
Senator Harding, the Republican nominee,
taking the stand of true Americanism, has de-
clared himself against Wilson's League of Ma
tons super-state.
He would promote international peace through
an association of nations formed for that sole
purpose in which we would still be free and
Independent republic.
Under the camouflage of international peace
he refuses to be party to the betrayal of our ma
TONS independence by promoting the proposed
league to protect with American lives the asso-
ciated land grabbers and diplomats of Europe.
Harding stands with Washington. He, too,
would keep us free from the certain danger of
entangling alliances.
Cex's mind is as one' with Wilson's. He
would use the soothing syrup of meaningless res
ervations to entice nation into Europe's des-
tiny.
In November American men and women will
show Cox and Wilson that they could see through
the camouflage.
They will tell Europe by their ballots for
Harding that Gods will, that there shall remain
on earth great nation to set the example of
righteous and liberty-lovng living, shall not be
