FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 5. 1920
Republican PARTY Bears Grave
Responsibility.

Senator Harding bears himself
we'll in victory. a good test of char
acter. 1t Is all SO serious" he
says in his statement to the public,
1.-The obligations are so solemn that
instead of eXulting | am more given
to prayer to God to make me
capable of playing my part. and that
all these calls to responsibility may
meet the Epirations and expecta-
lions of America and the world.
Mr.. Harding's election, with a
supporting house and senate. puts
a big responsibility squarely up to
the republicans They have pro-
missed the country efficiency. re-
trenchment and an honest endeavor
in the words of the president-elect,
to take curse which will unite
America and make It possible to join
a world fratrnity of nations"
The task is not easy. President
Wilson's long illness and his strange
lcfusal to permit his cabinet to CO.
ordinate and take counsel with each
other have brought his administra-
ton to lamentable confusion and In
efficiency.
To fulfill the republican party's
pledges Mr. Harding must draw
around him an able cabinet. The
mere announcement that he had
asked such men as Herbert Hoover
to take the portfolio of commerce,
General Wood to become secretary
of war. William Howard Taft to
serve as his attorney general, Sena-
tor Lodge or Elihu Root to take the
direction of foreign affairs. Senator
Poindexter to fill the post once co
ably filled by Franklin X Lane in
the interior department would
quicken public confidence every
where and strengthen him with con-
gress.
There is full reason to believe that
Senator Harding cOnremplates such
action. His mind is obviously
charged with that pun pose.-Spokes-
man Review.

THE LESSON OF YESTERDAYS
ELECTION

American political history has nc
parallel for the staggering popular
reaction against President Wilson s
administration. Four years ago Mr..
Wilson won over Mr. Hughes by
narly 100000 popular majority. Yes
terday the Amrican people piled up
majority that will run into the
millions against Mr.. Wilson's politi-
cal legatee.
The terrific verdict against Mr..
Cox was verdict against Mr.. Will
sons record of the last four years
1t registers profound disappointment
with the democratic party's condict
of the war, with the unparalleled
waste and extravaganza which char
acteriZed the administrations opera
tions at home and abroad. upon the
land and the sea, upon the earth and
in the air, and with the deplorab,e
and costly breakdown the admin
istration at Washington since the
armistice was signed two years ago.
For all of that Mr.. Wilson is pay
ing dreadful penalty for his
studied refusal to surround himself
with able lieutenants In his cabinet
or to take counsel in foreign rela.
tions with his constitutional advisor.
the senate. His was essentially a
"one man show and when the
leading actor was stricken down the
performance came almost to a stand
still.
But beyond all that the popular
verdict yesterday was protest
against and a rebuke for the presi-
dents ever increasing autocratic
spirit and attitude The failure Of
SO astute man as Mr.. Wilson to
understand that the nation tempo-
rarily tolerated autocracy in the be-
lief that it was the best method for
the winning of the war. but. the war
ended, expected a quick and patriot
1c remuneration by the president of
his extraordinary wartime powers
will long stand out as one of the in
COMPREHENSIVE riddles of our ma
tional life.
In its deep mood of reaction
against Mr.. Wilson. the autocrat
the country surges to Mr.. Harding
whose capacity and iondness for
teamwork signalized him as the
temperamental oppose. of the auto
crat in the White House.
This crushing condemnation of
autocracy will not be forgotten for
many year. 1t will long stand as a
wholesome warning to ambitious
men of all parties. Spokesman Re

BRYAN MAKES SUGGESTIONS

Chicago. Nov. 4.-William Jen-
nings Bryan here today gave out d
statement suggesting that "Presi-
dent Wilson should resign at once.
Now that the American people
have decisively declared against the
league of nations as written by the
president, said Mr. Bryan. ii
would seem desirable to carry out
the verdict Immediately. This car
be easily done.
The president should resign al
once and turn over his office to Mr.
Marshall. on the condition that on
the convening of congress in De
cember Mr.. Marshall appoint Senat-
or Harding secretary of state and
self resign.
The law then would make Mr.
Harding president, and with the
republican support in congress he
could at once put into operation the
plan for the United States to enter
into an association of nations foi
peace.
las world peace is thing near
est the presidents heart he can
hardly refuse to hasten the coming
of peace by so small a sacrifice-it
it could be called sacrifice to es-
sape from three months combat
with a hostile congress, supported
as it is by the recent vote"

BRYAN Explains Defeat.

Lincoln. Neb.. Nov. 3.-In state
ment today, w. j. Bryan placed
what he termed the blame for demo-
cratic defeat about equally between
President Wilson and Governor Cox.
Fhe president, he said. Laid the
foundations for the disaster and the
governor completed the structure"
The staten ent said:
THE American people want the
government to play its part in the
abolition of war, but they are indif-
ferent as to whether we are part of
league or part of All association of
nations. There is nothing in a
name but everything in a sentiment.
The real issue presented by the
democratic party was not whether
we should cooperate with other ma
lions interested in peace, but wheth-
er we should assume :. moral obli-
cation which had no weight eycent
as it suspended the right of congress
to act independently when the time
arrived for action The nation viii
do its part in aiding to prevent war
but it will not surrender into the
Keeping of any forelsn group the
right to determine when we shall
declare war
Governor Cox. instead of re-
pairing the injury done by the presi-
dent, aggravated the situation by
the manner jim which he avoided
domestic issues and misrepresented
the position Of the republican party
on the league issue, which he de
clared to be paramount
Continuing Mr. Bryan said
The president attempted to drive
out of public life every democrat
who dared to differ from him even
In minute details. while ne made no
effort to strengthen the democrats
who made him the keeper of their
conscience He alienated all repub-
lican support and invited partisan
opposition by his appeal just before
the election of 1918. for a congress
that would support his personal
leadership, and then. though know
ing full vel that the majority in
Inc nation was against him he re-
fused TO deal with the senate as a
coordinate branch of the govern
ment. Instead of recognizing that
.he constitutional provision requir-
ing two-thifds majority for ratifi-
cation compelled compromise. he in
sisted upon debating the terms up
on which ratification could be had,
and then on the 18th of March
stubbornly rejected ratification with
reservations even when SenaYor
harding and 35 other republicans
were willing 10 accent the leaeu as
he wrote it with the few changes
upon which they insisted nv tbue
preventing ratification, the president
assumed responsibility for the ma
non s failure 10 enter the league and
thrust the league into the campaipn
as partisan issue.
Governor Cox aggravated the
situation. His ATTEMPT to mt the
democratic party in the attitude of
oeing the sole guardian of peace was
ridiculous and his assaults unon
such well-known advocates of neace
as eX-President Taft and Herbert
mower were disgraceful. "-Spokes-

WHEN THE NEAR EAST IS
 CIVILIZED

Roughly speaking, Turkey was di- vided into five great provinces or dis tricts-Anatolia Armenia, Kurdistan, MeSOpotamia and Syria
 With this introduction William H. Hall, writing to the National Geograph- ic society, sketches the resources of Turkey, which have an opportunity for development with measures that may lessen the horrors of misrule, injustice. deportationS, massacreS and famineS. He continues:
 "The same broad plains that once fed and clothed a population of 4O,- 000,0O0 human beings are waiting to- day for the blow, the seed and the reaper. The mountains still hold riches of coal and iron and copper. The quarries still have abundance of choice marbles. The rivers are DO tent with power to turn the wheels of fn Iustry The natural harborS in yite the fleets of merchantmen and the river valleys and mountain pa9S2i offer natural lines of communication and transportation. as in the days # hen great caravans passed along these natural hi@b"aNs, bringing the merclandts2 Of tle East to tie mar '.eta of the West.
 "Tle whole Iand has been lying f3'- low for ccnturics-a land that modern exploration reveals as one of the rich est it natural resources and as unsu"- passed by it's eeo~1aphic location for being the trade center of the world.
 "EXclusive of Arabia, which was never Gore than nOminally under the Ottouan dominion. the Turkish empire embraced about 540,00O square miles of territory at the beginning of the World war. Only about 10000 square miles of this were in Europe. The Turkish empire was equivalent to the combined areas of the British iSleS, France and prewar Germany. It was larger than all of the area east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
 mThe boundaries were the Black sea and Caucasus on the north, Egypt on the south, the Aegean and Medlter- ranean seas on the west, and the Syrian desert and Persia on the east.
 Turkey in Europe was almost a negligible area, as the Balkan wars stripped the Turks of all their Eu- ropean possessions except Constanu- noble and narrow territory along the Bosporus and Dardanelles some At miles in width; so that when the Turk ish empire has been referred to in re- cent years, Asiatic Turkey was nearly all that the term embraced.

RAILWAY SALE
 MARKS END 0F
 LONG CHAPTER

DENER, Colo, Nov. 22 (by Asso ciated Press. .)-Sale of the Denver and Rio Grand railroad to the West ern Pacific Railway on Saturday by court of appeals, marks the close of tumultuous chapter in the history of the road founded by General Will liam J. Palmer in 1871.
 Millions of dollars a year in wages were paid annually in the prosperous period of the roads history and other millions were used in numer- ous efforts of various financial in- terests to gain control of the rail- road. From the time the Jay Gould interests caused the retirement of General Palmer from the road in 1883, it was the object of financial campaigns of rival interests until the receivership caused by default of the road in payment of Western Pacific railroad bonds in 1918, bono payments having been guaranteed by the Denver & Rio Grande.
 The bond issue was for $50,O00,O0O and when the Equitable Trust Con- pany of New York brought suit and obtained judgment in 1918, this and been reduced to a little more than $SG 0,C0G-,the amount of the judg ment. On January 26, of that year Edward L. Brown, president of the road, and Alexander R. Baldwin, vice-president of the Western Pa cific, were named receivds by Judge Walter l.. Sanborn, of the United States circuit court of ap- peals A month later Brown was named sole receiver to comply with regulations of the United States rail road administration during the war He was delegated agent of the ad- ministration.
 Hearings were held before a Unit ed States master in chancery and on | SSpISiiGCI Zo, I3-V, ttI OIu6E Was signed by Judge Sanborn for the sale stockholders committee who asked postpOnement for month. The road was advertised for sale for 30 days and November 20 set as the date of | sale.
 The road was built originally as part of Palmer's dream of line run l ming from Denver to Fl Paso. De Veiopment of the mining enterprises | in the western part of the state resulted in change in the direc- tion of the roads development and { extension of branch lines westward l into the mining communities became a part of the contest between the road and the Union Pacific for con- trol of the Rocky Mountain terri tory, the later road already having an advantage in the northern Rocky mountain region.
 1 Among the prominent railroad men connected with the road in various capacities were George Gould, Benja- min F. Bush and H. U. Nudge.
