two millions. Mr.. Proctor, head
Of the Wood political organization
says ingenuously, "The men that
contribute large sums do not like
TO have their names known
I Why not? Is it not virtuous
thing to spend your money, your
half million or your quarter OF a
million, to transform a general OF
transcendent political genius into
a President?
Why are they ashamed Of their
effort to make General Wood
President? What promises were
made when the large checks were
drawn? We're those promises OF
a kind that the check-givers would
not like to have published?
And how much chance do you
think General Wood has of being
nominated for the Presidency OF
the United States, now that the
people know that while he was
only just warming up" it seemed
worth while to the fright people"
to scrape together two millions to
start him?
The people are fools, or the men
that supplied the two millions
and the rest of the pile-have
wasted their money.
1T hath not yet been shown
what we shall be-" If you doubt
it, ask William Jennings Byran.
We thought we were fairly pure,
what with the Mann Act, highly
beneficial to morals, and to black
mailers, and what with prohibition
act, but from Mr.. Byran you learn
that we have only started. There
is to be a "single standard for
both sexes" law.
Whoever tries any double stand
ard experiment will be dragged to
the police station as though he
were nothing better than an i'm
moral woman.
Not only that, says Mr.. Byran,
"it is to be written into our Con-
stitution."
Before they finish that will be
a fat Constitution.
You may live to see your Con-
stitution sort of literary areop-
agus with Bryan or some other
super-virtuous one chief areop-
agite. You may even see the 1920
areopagite putting his son in
Jail for dancing the wrong kind
of "jazz," as the ancient areop-
agite put his son to death for
plucking out the eyes Of sparrow.
Read part of cable from Paris
to the New York Times. 1t tells
how anxious Europe is that the
United States should accept the
mandate for Armenia and con-
tinues: "To have American
troops put MustaDha Kemal out of
what President Wilson regards as
the property of Armenia would do
much 10 discred.t the Nationalist
leader who threatens to make so
much trouble for the british and
French as well as Italian and
Greek interests in enforcing the
treaty"
Wouldn't you like to have your
son conscripted to be sent abroad
to put Mustapha Kemal out OF
what President Wilson regards as
the property of Armenia?
Isn't it your hearts desire that
young men here be conscripted to
"save British, French, as well as
Italian and Creek" from trouble
in enforcing their treaty?
Could you imagine any man,
partly sane, demanding that young
men of this country be sent to
contract disease and be shot, to
dispose of Mr.. Mustapha Kemal.
Let us first put our own Mus
tapha Kemal, whose other name is
Profiteering, out of our territory.
France, England, Italy, and Greece
may do their own worrying about
Armenia.
II you want a war with Russia,
you can get it, with an Armenian
or Turkish mandate. Europe
knows it. Read a little more of the
Times dispatch:
ITO have an American military
barrier against the entrance of the
Bolsheviki into Turkey is thing
much to be desired by the Allies,
and to have American ability and
money make stable state out of
the unstable structure the Allies
have erected would be not only to
the interest of Armenia, but to all
the nations interested in Turkey"
, What do you think of "Repub-
. lican leaders," names not given,
who tell the New York Times that
disclosures about the campaign
fund of two millions for Wood,
etc, "endanger Hiram Johnson's
chances?"
Why should those revelations in
jure Hiram Johnson? The answer
is simple. Senator Borah, friend
of Hiram, both radicals, and rep
resentatives of the people, is the
man that started the investigation
of campaign funds.
The Republican leaders" say
