Then it takes precedence over the

Cummings brought serious Indictment
against the Democrats in the senate.
Only twenty-three Democrats voted for
the league while thirty-tive Republicans
supported it, Of course with reserva-

many votes as the Republicans did it
would have been ratified. And the con-

A SIMPLE Proposition.

Des MOines Capital: A tip from
this country to live on the American
plan with nothing more than Il French
income would be good advice for the
average American to adopt who is
hOwiing about the high cost of living.
These young women tell us that we buy
too many things that we could very
well do without. And it is true. The
Thrift Magazine repeats this advice
when it urges people, in it's last issue.
to reduce their standards of living,
examine their budgets carefully and
find where the leak is located.
The old plan Of living included all
the necessities and few of the
Injuries. The new plan provides for
most of the luXuries and few of the
necessities. And it is neither healthful
nor economical.
The bankers who are the guests OF
the people of Des MOineS during the
early part of this week have preached
long and patiently the gospel Of saving
And people never needed to save more
than they do today. 1t is hard to make
people realize that the little they can
do, individually, along the line Of say
ing, really amounts to anything i'll the
aggregate. But a whole city-full
boarding a dollar here and dollar
there will set this old chaotic world on
its feet quicker than anything else I'M

of great weight and authority, SO that
fiscal politics, for instance, shall be
dominated by a great secretary of the
treasury like Alexander Hamilton or
John Sherman, and foreign policies di-
rected by a great secretary of state like
Daniel Webster or Elihu Root. Other
people think of the presidency as an
office that ought to be filled by some
sort Of universal genius, capable of di-
recting domestic and foreign policies
and requiring a cabinet merely for the
routine conduct of department work.
1t is quite possible that the country
needs harmony and definiteness in its
public policies more than anything else,
with partisanship reduced to mini
mum, and happy relations among presi-
dent, cabinet, and both houses Of con-

The San Francisco convention appar-

THE PRESIDENCY.

Review Of Reviews: Much OF the
confusion Of mind produced by the
writer's of newspaper editorials about
the merits of candidates results from
the fact that thesei writer's have no
common standards. The presidency is
a peculiar Office, and no one can be
quite sure in advance about the way in
which any particular man would meet
the exigencics of the position. One
man thinks of the president as public
servant, while another man thinks of
him as a ruler, Il public master. There
are those who have formed the habit
of speaking in the harshest terms about
congress and who would prefer as our
form of government quadrcnnial
dictatorship by the president. Some
men desire to have president sur
rounded by Il cabinet made up OF men

William G. McAdOO certainly lost
some of the high regard in which he is
held by the American people by his va
ella ting course during the sessions OF
the San Francisco convention. After
declaring that he did not want the
nomination, could not afford to accept
it, etc, and after insisting that his de-
cision was ''irrevocable," he permitted
the convention to ballot for him dur
ing it's long and tedious search for Il
candidate. His friends in the conven-
ton, of course, had assurance that he
would accept the nOmina ton in spite
of his "irrevOcable" attitude. However,
it is lucky for the Democratic party
that he was not nominated. He Is too
closely connected with Woodrow Will
son and too closely identified with the
present administration to prove a
strong candidate. Practically all of the
delegates realized this fact, hut many
of the officeholders voted for him be-
cause they wanted to continue in the
favor at the white house. -

James NJ. Cox, the Democratic nomi-
nee for president is fine looking
man, and so is Senator Harding, the
Republican nominee. However, the
senator has more mature appearance
and looks like the stronger character.
1t may be taken for granted that per-
sonally both men are above reprOach.
1t is to be hoped that nothing will de-
velop during the campaign to reflect
upon the personal character of either
of them. One or the other is going to
re elected president and no matter
how much we may disagree politically
we all want clean men in the white
house. fia

to take the stump for Harding and
Coolidge or perform any other task
their campaign managers may assign
to him. 1t was not so long ago that
Mr.. Taft was supporting President
Wilson in his stand for the League OF
Nations. an issue that will be one of
the leaders in the present campaign.
That he has altered his position suffi-
GENTLY to enable him to support the
Republican platform league plank, and
is willing to go on the stump and tell
the people so, testifies to the moral
courage of the man, and is significant
of the change of mind that has taken
place in thousands of others.

AMERIcANISM.

The people of this country are will
ling and anxious to do all they properly
|can to assist the peoples of foreign
lands, but to assure the largest aid to
others we must retain our own strength
and resources. 1t will avail us little,
and will avail those whom we seek to
aid little, if we are SO generous as to
destroy our own power to do.
Here is good creed of Americanisnl
which can be accepted by the average
patriotic American:
ut is fine to idelize, but it is very
practical to make sure our own house
lis in perfect order before we attempt
the miracle of Old-wOrld sterilization.
Call 1t the Selfishness Of nationality
if yOu will. think 1t an inspiration TO
patriotic devotion
To safeguard America first,
To stabilize America first,
To prosper America first,
TO think of America first,
To exalt America first,
To live for and revere America first.
We may do more than prove ex-
emplars to the world of enduring, rep
resentative democracy where the consti-
tuition and Its liberties are mistaken.
We may go on securely to the destined
fulfillment and make strong and gen
erOus contribution to human progress,
forceful in example, generous in cOntri-
button, helpful in all suffering and
fearless in all conflicts.
Let the internatiOnalist dream and
the bOlshevist destroy. God pity him
'for whom no minstrel raptures swell
In the spirit OF the republic we pro-
claim Americanism and acclaim Amer
ica."
I These words were not spoken, these
thoughts were not assembled, by any
Of the various founders Of the republic,
though they do sound as though handed
down by some Of the great men who
wrought in the beginning Of this ma
tiOn. They are the product Of well
known American of the present day,

For more than a year the contest

Senator JOhnson's statement said.
1t has been the all-engrossing and
paramount issue. OF necessity, this
issue came to the cOventiOns Of the
two great political parties. Both Re
publicans and Democrats, in their plat
forms, have INDUCED in the usual pO-
litical verbosity, but nevertheless these
platforms, in direct opposition to each
other, sharply define and clearly pre-
sent the question for decision in the
November election.
The Republican party declared
that the presidents covenant, failed
signally to accomplish it's purpose,
and contained stipulations not only in
tOlerable for an independent people,
but certain to produce the injustice,
hostility and controversy among nations

'repudiated to degree wholly unneces-.

Washington, Jefferson and Monroe

covenant as presented, denOunces it as
breeding war rather than promoting
peace, and reaffirms the time honOred,

fersOn and Monorc.
THE Democratic party, on the other
hand, rejected every effort to modify or
qualify the presidents proposed league
of nations, endorsed the presidents at
titude and took its position In favor Of
the league as presented.
1T is true that the Democrats, in an
effort to placate, say something about
reservations which might make clearer
or more specific the obligations of the
United States, but the language is
meaningless and does not at all alter
the essential proposition Of the Demo
cratic party for the league as present
ed.
"The two parties acted In similar
fashion in one respect, hut from differ
ent motives and for different reasons
Both rejected the pleas for adoption Of
tire league with reservations, the Demo
Gratis because they were for the league
as presented, and the Republicans be-
caus no reservations devised by the hui
man mind could anticipate the cOnting
ealcies which might arise in the future
from an instrument of such potential
possibilities for harm.
