Sir: Let the Republican party COM

avowed but abandoned Wilson pro-
nunciamento of open covenants openly
arrived at in all this nations dealings
with foreign governments. with re-
spect to treaties or other arrangements
affecting, or in the line Of the foreign
policy of the United States, or with
regard to commercial or other alli-
ances. The Wilson Administration
has persistently refused to take the
Senate into its confidence, let alone
the citizenry Of this Republic while,
at all times, Haunting its purpose to
take the treaty issue to the country.
The President essayed an appeal to
the electorate, but at no time, nor upon
any occasion did he give so much as
hint OF what passed behind the
scenes in Paris, or Of what transpired
in the councils that sat behind closed
doors; nor did he, at any time, sim
cerly insist while attending the Paris
conference upon a recognition of his
avowed "open covenant" policy.

Wilson repeatedly to explain or even

To-day there seems to be marked
tendency to worship this Constitution.
This is illustrated by some of the
letters on your platform page. Gov
ernment by the people is the supreme
principle of this nation. The Consti-
tuition is a means to attain that end.
We created it and we can change it.
1t was made for our use, not for our
worship. 1t is our servant, not our
master.

we were living under different condi-
tlons than we are now. The tele-
graph, the railroad and the daily

is natural that the Constitution should
not be entirely adequate to our pres
ent needs. If we had piece Of COM
plicated machinery, old but still USE
full, we would not hesitate to repair
it, to add new devices, and bring IL up
to date. Neither should we hesitate
about changing the Constitution. =
There are number of reforms
needed in this country that can be
brought about best by constitutional
amendments. Those who urge that %
go slowly in such changes are putting
stumbling block in the way of prog
ress.
To arouse public sentiment until it
is strong enough to pass the neces-
safy changes to bring it up to date
is a work the Republican party. if
it would be truly progressive, should
not hesitate about.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The Republican party must

1t must again put stop to the tre-
mendous waste which has prevailed,
place the business of the government
on sound economic basis, readjust,
eQualize and reduce taxation and pay

It must provide means for bringing
down the high cost Of living.
It must protect labor and capital in
all their just rights, and at the same
time emphasize the fact that the inno-
cent public also has rights which both
labor and capital must recognize and
respect.
1t must foster thorough and un-
adulterated Americanism and insist on
loyal respect for our Constitution and

1t must deal Justly but firmly with
Mexico, and everywhere protect the

We advocate that all foreign born

that all men between the ages Of

should be necessary in qualifying

Sir: Never in the history of the
limited States has there been greater
need Of impressing upon our represent
a.,ves. from the President downward
The fact that they are not free
scents or elected to carry out their
own ideals and policies regardless of
the wishes of those they represent.
Bossism and the utter contempt with
which platform pledges have been dis
regarded after election have done much
10 make the people lose faith in pre-
election promises, Were it not for the
Young voter. whose platforms arc
dreams Of the perfect state, the custom
of adopting one would have long since
been mainly farce.
This year we have not Only the
Young male voter, full of faith and
trust but there is that host OF women
voters who will cast their maiden vote.
Keep all of these from the slough of
despond that comes with mistrust from
loss OF faith and disappointed hopes.
Let the Republican party consider
these voters, as we'll as those VINO have
little or no belief in our present form
OF government, and erect a platform
so simple and direct, so concise and
clear, that its promises can be fulfilled
Make negative the claim that "Politics
are ictten" by p1edging Just and need
iul laws, and then enforcing them in
q businesslike way, by sincere and
honest effort. Restore the lost faith in
party pledges and true Americanism
will follow.
In their platform let there be in

platform is a contract with those who
