America Always
First


-SBy Warren G. Harding, Republican
Candidate for President).
The first flaming tv~cn of Ameri-
icanism was lighted in framing the
Federal Constitution in 1887. The
Pilgrims signed their SIMPLE and ma
jestic covenant full century and a
half before. and set afiame their bea-
con of liberty on the coast of Massa-
schusetts. Other pioneers of New
World freedom were rearing their
standards of liberty from jamestown
to Plymouth for five generations be-
fore Lexington and Concord heralded
a new era. Il was all American in
the destined result, yet all of it lacked
the soul of nationality in simple truth
There was no thought of nationality
in the revolution of American inde-
pendence. The colonists We're resist
ing wrong. and freedom was their
solace. Once it was achieved, ma
tinonality was the only agency suited
40 its preservation.
Americanism really began when
robed in nationality. The American
republic began the blazed trail of
POpuidA eONtl
Representative democracy was pro-
claimed the safe agency OF highest
human freedom. America headed the
forward procession of civil. human
and religious liberty. which ultimately
will effect the liberation of all man
kind. The Federal Constitution is the
very base of all Americanism, the ark
of the covenant of American liberty,
the very temple of equal rights. The
Constitution does abide, and ever will
so long as the republic survives.
Let us hesitate before we surrender
tbe nationality which is the very soul
of highest Americanism. This re-
public has never failed humanity nor
.sengendered civilization.
We have been tardy sometimes. like
when we We're .proclaiming democracy
and neutrality, while we ignored our
national rights, but the ultimate and
helpful part we played in the great
war will be the pride of America so
long as the world recites the story
We don OF mean to hold aloof, we
choose no isolation, we shun no duty
i like to rejoice in an American con-
science. and in big conception of our
obligations to liberty, Justice and civ
-jlization. Aye, and more. l like to
2Ghfnk of Columbia's helping hand to
new republics which are seeking the
blessings portrayed in our example.
but | have confidence in our Amer
lea that requires no council of for
eign powers to point the way of Amer
acan duty. We wish to counsel, CO.
operate and contribute. but we arro-
gate to ourselves the keeping of the
American continent and every con-
cept of our obligation. IL is fine 10
-7dealize, but it is very practical to
make sure our own house is in per-
feet order before we attempt the mir
:sacle of Old World stabilization
Call it selfishness of nationality if
you will; / think it an inspiration to

To safeguard American first,
To stabilize America first,
To prosper America first.
To think of America first,
To exalt America first,
To live for and revere America.
Let the internationalist dream and

&. 0. P. CLEAR ON
Child LABOR
Comparison Made of Plat
forms of Two Great Par
ties on Question
REPUBLICAN WOMEN
MAKE STATEMENT

One Of the most instructive and in
teresting statements OF the campaign
relative TO the constructive records OF
the two great parties as 10 the CONVEX
sation OF human resources. has just
been issued by the Women's Organ
izalion headquarters OF the Republl-
can party. This statement says that
The Republican party has more faith
than the Democratic party m the
power OF the Federal government to
procure social and industrial justice
and that the conservation OF human
resources 20 a legitimate concern Of
that government. The statement
points out that where the Democratic
platform stops at an abstraction In
the prohibition OF child labor" the
declaration Of the Republican plat
form is definite and clear. The stale
ment follows;
'The real test women are applying
TO the parties Is whether or not they
have a constructive record on the
conservation OF human resources.
"All women, no matter with what
other issues they are concerned, are
fundamentally interested In the pro-
lection NJ childhood and In public
school education The Republican
pfrty this year should have The sup
mort OF all women who have made an
honest study OF the recQrds OF both
national parties on child welfare--if
this issue Is a determining one with
them as voters.
ut is true that both parties In
their platform declare abstractly FOR
the prohibition OF child labor" But
the Democratic platform stops with
the abstraction. In these days none OF
rs are much deceived by political alb
stractiOns.
'.The Republican declaration. on the
other hand, is definite and unmistak-
ably clear: The Republican party
stands for a Federal child labor law
and its rigid enforcement. IN the pres
eni law be found unconstitutional or
Ineffective. we shall seek other means
10 enable Congress to prevent the evils
Of child labor"
~That Is saiisfyingly concrete. It
warns the hearts of women who have
felt for years that federal prohibition
bf child labor is the only answer 10
N child labor problem In this coun-
try--so long asp The attitude of The
southern Democratic States toward
child labor Is what II Is.
Remember that what the Demo-
cratic party now refers 10 as lis child
labor law Is only an amendment TO a
revenue bill. 10 does not try TO ahol-
ish child labor flatly and absolutely as
wrong; IL merely tries to discourage
IL by making IL expensive for the man
that employs it-by taxing articles
manufactured m a ohild-employing in
Stituuon. But alas, child labor Is so
cheap that even reckoning In the tax,

BREWERY NAMES OF
BEER ARE BARRED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S.-The gov
ernment has taken steps TO prohibit
not only the use Of beer, ale and
porter, bht the use OF the names OF
their widely known synonyms. An
order to federal prohibition directors
from William NJ. Williams, commits
sioner OF internal revenue said:
The use OF the words beer, ale or
porter and the well-known synonyms
Tor the same, such as lager, book or
STOUT. either with or without pre-

this federal effort to discourage child

IT does not seem possible that any
one could look with confidence TO the
Democratic party for the abolition OF
child labor. Remember what happen
ed TO the original federal child labor
bill passed by Congress some years
ago. II Was fought bitterly by "the
solid south" In Congress in the inter
ests OF their constituents, a large
group OF employers using child labor
very largely. When IL passed the
House Il did so with 90 per cent. Of
the Republicans voting for 10. But 10

IN any thoroughgoing attempt to
get adequate child labor legislation
we are going TO bear the (supposed)
ghost Of States rights invoked loudly
by the Democratic party. Women
Nelers should be forewarsed on this
point
"Republcan effort to abolish child
labor and Democratic willingness TO

of simple history and arithmetic.
Take the country by States: There
are forty-flve states that establish a
minimum age, with or without ex-
