1t was Jack speaking, as usual.
teasing his Uncle Ted for a story.
II couldn't possibly tell you all he
said tonight" answered Uncle Ted,
but if you and Ruth will promise to
go to bed early tomorrow night I'll
tell you all 1 can. You remember
what 1 told you last week, how Mr..
Cox has stated that he is going to
fight for the world club and how af-
ter his talk with President Wilson it
was shown by the statement of both
men made that Mr.. Wilson is still
the ruler of the democratic party.
Since the day when Mr.. Cox and Mr..
Wilson had their talk and it was
shown to the world that il Mr.. Cox
were elected President Wilson would
still rule the country, a great man
has made a great speech.
ION Thursday, July %, Senator
Warren G.. Harding made the OPEN
ing speech of his campaign when he
accepted the republican candidacy
for president"
did he say he wanted the world
club" asked Ruth.
81 should say mott" answered her
Uncle Ted. He knows, as we all
know, that we must have peace. But
he is not willing to have a peace at
the cost of a world club. When Mr..
Harding becomes president we will
have peace, and the right kind. In
his speech he said, 4 promise you
formal and effective peace so quickly
as republican congress can pass its
declaration for republican execu-
tive to sign In other words, IL
he had been president when con-
gress passed the resolution declaring
peace with Germany he would not
have refused to sign it as Woodrow
Wilson did. He will not try to run
the whole government without the
advice of other big men, neither win
he try to run it with disregard of the
constitution of the United States. On
this point he said, No man is big
enough to run this great republic.
There never has been one. Such
domination was never intended Az
ter the long years of rule in this
country by one man; after we have
seen a man sit in the white house
who cares more for the interests Of
foreign countries than he does for
the problems at home, 1t is a won
derful relief to hear a man speak.

house, will save this country from

would undoubtedly be saying Good
Bye to thousands of American boys

ITO fight for what?" asked Jack.
ITO fight for Poland. The Rus

ruled by bolshevists, have been fight

Poland. Poland was set up as an
independent nation by the treaty OF
peace and was formerly part Of the
Russian empire. Although they
have now stopped fighting, under an
armistice such as stopped the great
war on November II, 1918 the trou-
BILE will not be settled so easilyy and
more fighting is sure to follow. The
Russians threaten to 60 into Poland
