Enough has been said, in brief space,
to indicate the true spirit of a party
that does big things for a world in
need without sacrificing its obliga-
ton to stand by its own nation first,
last and all the time. 1t is an at
mosphere of energetic world helpful
ness that one would see rescued from
partisansm; but if it must be par
tisan, let the Republican party stand
forth and assert itself as the party of
American prosperity and world gen.
crosby. A people wherein both capt.
tai and labor are prosperous can af-
ford to be friendly and helpful to the
rest of the world-a friendliness that
is not reserved only for "our asso-
ciates," nor for the races whence we
sprang, but is freely offered to all men
everywhere, be they white, red OF
black, Chinese or Japanese, German
English, Italian or French. 1t is an
open door policy that Is none the less
generous because it refuses to do q
thing that will needlessly injure its
own people. If the Republicans will
win this fall, let them openly rejoice
in their historic spirit, and let them
eagerly seek to restore, as If it were
their very own, that American spiri,
of large generosity which rushed &c
the support of the Allies when the
whole world heard them cry, "Ou,
backs are to the wall! Come over
and help us!"
We went. And we would do it again
This is the free spirit that will win
the campaign. and I, for one, warn
the Republican party not to disdain
it or foolishly thrust it over to an
other; for if it does it will surely
perish, as it ought

An Armistice for Poland

The Soviet government has ;ndi-
Gated its willingness to enter into an
armlstice with Poland. This is. of
course, good policy from Ienine's
point of view. The Poles have been
drlven back nearly to the boundaries
professionally set for them bv the
Allied Council. To cross those
boundaries would mean war between
Soviet Russia and the Entente.
Moreover, the Soviet armies have
probably about reached the limits of
their offensive. Communications
must be looked after. Even with the
lighter demands of open warfare, an
offensive like Russia's must come to
standstill after it passes a certain
point.
For Poland the necessity Of ac-
cepting an armistice at this juncture
Is bitter pill. Pilsudski's hopes of
territorial expansion to the east are
Dlasted. The treaty with Petlura S
Ukraine government becomes a dead
letter. The Entente Allies will de-
eide Ukrainia's fate. They blow cold
on Poland's aspirations. They will
hardly assist the crippled republic to
safe military frontier
against Red Russia. Poland will
igure hereafter not as a great power

4 Statement of the Historic Ideals of Great Party
And Their Bearing Upon the Present Campaign

meaning of its own history since 1854
Above all other parties it has stood
for free people, regardless of their
color Or station in life. 1t also has
stood for a united people. The faith
of Webster and Lincoln in liberty and
union, one and inseparable, has been
its inner policy.
1t has been a party that has pre-
ferred Americanism to Germanism or
1rishism or any other foreign ism.
Abused as it's policy of protectionism
may have been, it was on the right
track in that theory. 1t believed in the
rights Of the American people first.
1t therefore believed in protection
of wages at home and of life
abroad. Those who were in Eu-
rope just before the World War
know what contempt our diplomacy had
fallen into, and Mexico is a continuous
lesson in feeble failure to protect an
American wherever he had a right to

in any and all circumstances. 1t
also is inclined to be the party of
world generosity. 1t is doubtless ideal
and Christian to share burdens first
and put self last, but until the real

that now is, 1t is better to reach out

Cattle Losses
Declining Prices Have Discouraged
Production BY Farmers

|
To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Tribune Of July 2 con-
tanned an editorial concerning the
higher beef prices prevailing in New
York City during June. At one point
in the article The Tribune made this
comment: "No clear explanation is
furnished" At another point It said:
"The reasons for the rise thus far
given are freight congestion and 8
scarcity Of cattle because of overseas
shipments. These factors hardly COM
pletely account for the sensational ad-
vance. 1t is probable that the chief
cause is the appropriateness of cattle
feeding"
We agree that oversee shipments
could hardly be held to account for
the lighter livestock receipts during
June. In fact, the high prices for live
stock prevailing during the war period
and for some time thereafter, coupled
with the efforts of the Department of
Agriculture and of the food administrs-
ton, played quite a part in stimulating
swine, particularly swine. In more
recent months, however, the decline In
the price of meat, and consequently in
the price of livestock, has reacted to
! CO To a
lost money on their cattle and many
packers have reported lossco on beef.
The editorial article in The Tribune
was published on Friday, July 2. Dur
ing the week ended the next day the
wholesale price of beef in New York
City declined from to cents pound
on the better grades and from to
cents a pound on the less expensive
grades, as compared with prices during
! the previous week.
During May cattle receipts were
quite heavy, resulting in such ma
terial reduction in the prices Of both
cattle and beef that at the end Of May
beef prices were very near the lever
prevailing three years ago, when the
United States entered the war. But
the heavy cattle receipts in the latter
part of May were followed Immediately
by sharp reduction In receipts IN
June. The cattle market advanced and
the supply of livestock being reduced,
shipments of beef decreased in quantity
and the price of beef rose. For several
weeks during June many packers nao
bare coolers and the light supply OF
dressed beef in the East amounted 10
an actual shortage. The situation was
further complicated by a shortage OF
livestock cars. Then in the last part
of June cattle receipts expanded some
what.
AS is usual at this season of the year,
the spread" between the cattle finisneo
on more costly feed and the cattle from
the grazing lands has widened.
We believe The Tribune has rendered
valuable service in calling attention
to conditions prevailing in the i've
stock industry.

Cox and Box Harmony

Like met like, according to White
House accounts, when Governor Cox
was received by President Wilson.
The mingling of minds and hearts
which this interview produced had
a perturbing effect on the only third
party present, the Hon. Franklin D.
Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt is not
usually ecstatic. But the scene of
Sunday morning moved him to say:
II wish that every American present
could have been a silent witness to
the meeting between these two great
men. need only add that
my regret in leaving my post under
President Wilson is softened by the
knowledge that my new commander
in chief will be his wholly worthy
successor"
Let US hope that at least Colonel
House and ex-Secretary Lansing
were silent witnesses" in the spirit.
On what did the "two great men"
agree? Mr.. Wilson reports: ~ found
that he and l were absolutely at one
with regard to the great issue of
the League Of Nations and that he
is ready to be the champion in every
respect of the honor of the nation
and the secure peace of the world"
Governor Cox echoes: eve are
agreed as to the meaning and suffi-
cheney of the Democratic platform
and the duty of the party in the
face of threatened bad faith to the
world in the name of America.
What he promised I shall, if elected,
endeavor with all my strength to
give"
These statements may be subject,
like the covenant itself, to future in
terpretations and reservations. Gov
ernor Cox brought two league reser-
vations to Washington. He may
construct later some Columbus, Ohio,
reservations to the program of
what he promised I shall endeavor
with all my strength to give" But
seemingly, as far as the President
can control the situation, the Demo-
cratic nominee is now pledged to
continue Mr.. Wilson's fight for a
ratification of the treaty on the lat
ter's own terms-that is, with no
reservations or with reservations
which will be merely "supereroga-
tory"
If Mr.. Cox wants to figure in the
campaign as an assistant crusader
for unconditional ratification and
the redemption, as matter of honor,
Of all Mr.. Wilson's personal promises
and commitments at Paris, that is
his affair. The country has shown
emphatically that it isn't interested
in making good what the President
promised Europe on his individual
responsibility. 1t holds that it, too,
is entitled to say as to the condi-
lions of the covenant and the terms
on which we are to enter the league
More than a majority of the
Democratic Senators have voted
with all the Republicans for what
the President and Mr.. Cox choose
to consider "bad faith to the world
IN the name Of America" If the
harmonized dual leadership of the
Democratic party wants to challenge
the country's verdict against a
covenant without real reservations
no one will begrudge it an oppor-
tunity to fight it out on that line
the rest of the summer.

The Sons of Martha

Ever since Mr.. Rudyard Kipling
made his admirable distinction be-
tween the Sons Of Mary, who sit on
the top of the world and run it, and
the Sons of Martha, who actually do
the work, it has been the fashion to
pity the lot Of the latter. Even Mr..
Kipling, while hymning the courage
and devotion of the latter and pre-
dieting their success in the here
after, gave a rather drab view Of
their tasks and pictured the Sons of
Mary, in conventional style, as lick
ing the cream off the top of the bot
tie and leading a generally beatifc
and glorious existence.
What we wish to suggest is that
in plain fact the Sons of Martha
have most of the real fun in the
world and the Sons of Mary pass a
precious dull time of it for all their
pomp and circumstance. The out
ward trappings of splendor and COM
fort are on the side Of the latter,
but the doing Of the things that give
pleasure and zest for living be-
longs largely with the former.
The trouble with the Sons of Mary
is that they handle almost exclu-
sively ideas. Now ideas are thrill
ing and exciting at times, but they
are pretty cold and empty stuff to
deal in year in and year out. The
stock in trade of the Sons of Martha
is things. Theirs is the job of ac-
tually touching and controlling and
producing all the smooth and rough
and ugly and gorgeous things in the
world. The ruler sits at desk and
plans and plots-on paper or in his
mind. The worker digs down into
the actual stuff of life and builds
and arranges and creates with his
own hands.
Take the yachtsman of the rocking
chair fleet, for example, who buys a
ticket on an ample craft and, with a
suitable equipment in the hip pocket,
goes down the bay to partake, as he
conceives, of yacht race. His lot
and his point of view are typically
those Of the Sons of Mary. In his
entertainment hundreds Of men have
labored to build two vast racing ma
chimes, others are laboring before
his eyes at sailing them, and his own
steamship is manned and stocked and
navigated by other invisible and for
gotten Sons of Martha. OFF on the
shore in the lighthouse and hard by
in the lightships are hands and
brains equally essential to seagoing.
Their signals alone would guide the
vessels of the Sons of Mary to safety
II fog came up. The whole struc-
ture upon which the toplofty lead
ers sit in supreme confidence and
ignorance is upheld by the faithful,
excellent labor of how many invisible
and forgotten hands!
Do these Sons of Mary get one
tenth the real pleasure out of Yacht
race that any stoker poking his head
through a portfolio takes? Not in
anybody's estimation who knows the
real facts of life. There can be no
satisfying pleasure in thing which
one has not done or at least come in
direct contact with. Your VEN

In all Red, communist and radical

Attorney General Palmer almost
captured the nomination. All he needed
was the votes. Palmer is always about
to do something. Sometimes he is
about to reduce the high cost Of living
and sometimes he Is about to thwart a
radical conspiracy to overthrow the
government Of the United States. The
prayer Of Senator Harding was that
Palmer should be nominated, but he
didn't get his wish.

Stand pntters and Soft PeJaIers

1t would be fatal just now if the
standpatters or the soft-pedalers should
succeed in leaving this eclat, or esprit
du corps, or morale, or whatever
splendid thing it was, to become the
political capital Of the party whose
leaders were either too proud to fight
in time or were sleeping happily in
the empty dream of a million men
ready to leap to arms in night, with
out day of preparations party that
had to be drummed into the war by
men like Colonel Roosevelt and Gem
eral Wood. Surely Republicans will
be wise enough to claim their hon
orable share in frank enthusiasts m
for their Uncle Sam, who wrought and
fought with such magnificent courage
and brains after the pail of Wilson
neutralism, which had almost per-
suaded multitudes that there was moth
ing to make fuss over, was lifted and
the light of patriotic reason showed
the duty of the hour to everybody.
I who write this never made much
of party allegiance and was always
disposed to stand aloof from mere
partisan arguments; but We need some
new backbone just now to forestall a
restoration of hopeless Administra-
ton, and l am convinced that the Re-
publican party Is more capable of
strengthening the spinal column of the
nation at the present time than is it's
great rival or any possible third party.

Sir: A good many people that
know and respect were, like yourself,
if one may judge by the editorial fol-
lowing the Chicago convention, very
much depressed by the evasive tone of
the Republican platform and the ap-
parently weak and unknown type of
the chosen leader, when there were SO
many available candidates whose per-
sonality bespoke a more definite and
hopeful outlook. 1t certainly did seem
as if reaction had leaped into the
saddle with q sure-thing attitude, as
though it were safe to nominate any,

candidates, all the high hopes Of pro-
gressive thinkers from the early days
of Theodore Roosevelt to the present

A Slump IL, Ideals

Perhaps the hopes were too SAN
war slump in ideals, and possibly
everybody made too much of the de-
preston. If SO, the right thing now
is to do our best to persuade the
powers that be in the Republican party
to see that the election is only sure
thing If it can manage to retain, or
draw again to itself, the million or
more Of men and women who have
never lost hope Of better things, whose
intellect keeps tally with the heart in
earnest pursuit of q higher theory in
practical politics, and who have worked
as much as they have thought and read
to bring about condition Of things
socially wherein labor and capital will
learn that they are not hurtful enemies
but helpful friends.
Would it be too much to hope that
the Republican leaders will duly real
ize that their party's real strength
for the future lies in the way it grasps
and preserves the measures snd ideals
that thrilled the youthful college ele-
ment in America for the last decade
or so, coterminous with the advent into
national life of him who had been Po-
lice Commissioner and Civil Service
Commissioner to the advantage of
every upward trend in politics?

HIDE AND WOOL MARKET TAKES
 GREAT DECLINE

Oklahoma City. Okla, June 10.-} Hide dealers declare the bottom has fallen out of the hide and woo, markets and are predicting s2.50 shoes within the near future
 Green salted hides which were selling for 8 cents a pound recently dropped to 12.- N. B.,LaBryer, man ager of a hide company here, says the price will go lower, adding that the same condition exists in all the markets of the country. Calf hides which six months ago brought a dol lar pound have been offered late ly at 25 cents, MT. LaBryer con-
 tinued, and then can get no buyer
 The decline in prices is due to the
 inability of tanners to ship their
 goods because of railway congestion
 and because of the fear of a credit
 stringency, MT. LaBryer declared.
 Big stocks of high priced leather
 purchased several months ago are
 still on hand and they want to get
 rid of it before buying more Mr. LaBryer also asserted that many tan5 neries have closed down entirely and others running half time
 The wool market shows an even worse state of demoralization accord ing to MT. LaBryer. Wool which d
 year ago ranged from fifty to fifty five cents a pound/noW is virtually impossible to get twenty-five cents for, he states. The demand for wool | is so slight, he said, that no dealers are making purchases except where | they get an opportunity to buy at such low prices that they are willing l to take chance.
 The recent attempt of the Wool I Growers association to hold a wool l sale at Enid, which was called off because there were no buyers, was | cited by MT. LaBryer as an illustra,- ton Of the present day wool market 1 situation. A single buyer offered 20 cents for the best grade of Snrop- shire wool if he could get a carIoa d lot.
