Why are the nations OF Europe, es-

financial gloom? They are in no worse
condition at the present time than
this country was during the Civil War
period. Very early In that war gold
went to premium in this country,
During the period Of Union army re-
verses the premium was 30 high that
the United States note (greenback,

nothing about equalising exchange on
the part Of European nations. They
were quite content with the situation.

MISSOURI ELECTS LEAGUE ADyO:
CATE.

Last Saturday Captain ! I. Milligan,
Democratic candidate and League OF
Nations advocate, was elected by a
majority Of more than 100 over John
3. Frost, Republican and League OPP
ponent, as representative for the 3rd
Congressional district Of Missouri.
The League Of Nations was the DOM
inant issue and many OF the prominent
men Of both parties took part In the
speaking campaign. The 3rd district
is near Kansas City, where Senator
Reed lives. and some fears were en-
'tertained by Democrats that his per-
sonal influence might defeat the Dem
ocratic candidate, but the Senator
seems to be as politically dead at home
as he is elsewhere.

STATEMENTS WITH THE RING OF
GENUINE, METAL.

Here are a few extracts from Attor
ley General Palmer's jackson Day
speech, which, in our judgment, arr
applicable to present day
conditions:
I'VE cannot back track on the
policy hallowed by more than
century Of usefulness. Through
all the years the oppressed OF ev-
cry cline have found here Ire
fuge from trouble, disorder and
distress. But we insist that those
who come to our shores shall come
In the right spirit and with the
right purpose; that those who re-
main shall stay with intent to be-
come Americans in every sense"
Speaking Of the alien in this coun
try, Mr.. Palmer said:
"He must realize that his revo-
luton has been fought and won
when he sets foot on American soil.
The time for the use of force is
then behind him. His time for the
use of intelligence has come.
"Those who will not come here
in this spirit, those who will not
seek to promptly learn what DEM
ocracy means, those who refuse to
believe that Government OF the
people can be different from the
rule of Kings under a bogus claim
of divine right, should go back to
fight their battles where their foe
is real"

THE GENTLE ART OF PROMISING.

Numerous publications expressing
the views and representing the inter-
ests of former soldiers and sailors are
showing impotence at the failure OF
the Republican Congress to begin con-
sideration OF the several proposals Tor
establishing these men in homes or for
providing them with cash bonus pro-
.portioned to the term Of their service
in the Army and Navy.
The complaint Of the soldiers and
sailors is certainly justifiable but It
promises to be fruitless. There ~
NOT the least likelihood that the Repub-
ucan leaders OF Congress will fulfill
their pledges to the men who won the
war. Even If these leaders were will
| ing, they are unable to enact any legis-
lation in behalf OF the former fighters
In the first place the promise was Civ.
en- for the purpose Of getting the sol
diers' vote and not with the object Of
compromising their sacrifices and sui.
ferings. In the second place, how
ever good the intentions of a few Re
publican congressman may be, the op
position OF the leaders to any measure:
that will reveal the dissessions and
hopeless disagreements in the ranks o
the G. o. P. foredooms all soldier legis
lation to the pigeonholes Of the com
mittees.
The soldiers and sailors are but ont
element of the American public t,
which the Republican manager
have made empty promises. Their
was an announcement that the profit
taxes would be modified and the lux
ury taxes repealed. There has beef
no serious attempt on the part Of tn
present Congress to do either of thes
things. There was a statement tina
the railroads would be legfslated int
something like definite aad perman
ent status so that their owners an
their users might know what to ex
pect. The Senate passed the Cum
Minis bill, but its progress through tn

in redeeming their promise to revise
the tariff project on which they
formerly were nearly always unani-

There is only one viewpoint In
which, seemingly, the Republican lead
ers OF Congress can concur. That Is
that the people are easily deluded and
