Of prices and the high cost of living
because it is altogether the most i'm
portant domestic question now be-
fore the country and one to which
the Republican party should address
itself without delay in every direc-
tion where help is possible. There
are, of course, as | have said, many
other important economic questions
to be dealt with, as speedily as may
be, but the time allotted to me makes
it impossible for me to touch upon
them all.
From domestic affairs, which
have only touched upon briefly, let
us turn to foreign questions, to our
relations with the world of other
nations. Look first at one of the
most pressing Importance Just be-
yond our own borders. Look ut
Mexico. For seven years the United
States has, been pursuing under the
direction of the President policy
of "watchful waiting" The Presi-
dent saw fit to intervene in Mexico.
AS n matter of fact he made war
upon Mexico, for in the taking of
Vera Cruz he lost some 120 men in
killed and wounded and several hun
dred unregaried, incidental Mexi-
cans were also either wounded or
killed in the conflict We went there
I 10 exact an apology for the treat
lnent OF some of our sailors ut Tam
pico. Che apology has never been
given lut General Huerta was driven
from power, which was the Presi-
dents real purpose, and Mexico then
fell into state of anarchy which,
growing constantly worse, has con
tinued to this day. The President
saw fit TO recognize Carranza, who
was chosen by military iunta, as
political chief. He thus furnished
an essential support to the Carranza
government and what has been ON
reward! Over 600 Americans hav.
been murdered in Mexico, some un-
der circumstances of great brutality
For these murders no reparation has
been made.

Us y mandate which we IL the senate
of the United States think should
not be undertaken. 1t is plan to
get us involved in the responsible
ties of the League of Nations and
all the wars in which it may be en-
gagged, without our being member
of the League. To such propo-
sition the only answer is plain re-
fusal. On the other hand what the
President has neglected--a like CON
dition among an unfortunate people
at our very doors-we must take up
and by wise and firm policy re-
store Mexico to the position which
she ought to occupy and thereby
help and relieve her people and so
benefit the world and extend the
reign of peace.
As the great war in Europe push
ed Mexico into the background and
turned the thoughts of all away
from it, so there is at this moment
another great question of our re-
lations to the civilized world which
overshadows every other When the
armistice with Germany was SIGNED
the course to be pursued was clear.
It was urged by republican senator's
before the armislice aud Immediately
afterward That course was to make
the peace with Germany ~ once and
then take up for reasonable con id
eration the question Of establishing
such future relations with our nsso-
ri0tes in the war as would make for
the future peace OF the world. If
this had been done we could have
had full peace with Germany three
months after the armistice. This
Mr.. Wilson prevented. He went to
Europe with the greatest opportun-
ity for large service to the world
ever Offered to any one man. He
insisted on going himself, for he
trusted no one else. We then had
the confidence, the gratitude and the
friendship of every European ma
tion. which thanks to the President
We possess no longer.

Need Of a Firm Hand

we have watched ana waited long
enough II is time that this condi-
ton, disgraceful to us and ruinous
to Mexico should cease. We need
firm hand at the helm. We need
man who will think not only Of the
rights OF the United States but of
the welfare Of Mexico. The Mexican
people would not resent the influ-
cnce on intervention of the United
States if il would only help 10 bring
them peace under president of
their own choosing. The great mass
of the Mexican people wish to work
and earn money. They long to be
able to sleep in peace and not he
subject to pillagc and outrage.
Thousands of them look to us for
help. Let the Mexicans chose rs
their president some strong and up
right man who is friendly to the
United States and determined to es-
tablish order and then let the United
States give him u real and cordial
SUPPORT, and so strengthen and up
hold him that he will be able to ex-
terminate the hnndits and put an
end to the unceasing ciyil war which
has well nigh completely ruined one
of the finest and most valuable
countries ON the face OF the earth.
We must watch and wait no longer.
We must have a man who has pol
icy and who will act. Nothing can
ever be accomplished under the VIII
son administration or any admins
traiion in sympathy with it. Their
miserable record of hopeless failure
in Mexico has been unbroken for
seven years. The time has come to
put an end to the Mexican situation.
which is shame 10 the United
States and disgrace to our civil
zation. If We are 10 take part In
pacifying and helping the world. let
us begin here at home in Mexico.
II we assert and protect the Monroe
doctrine against Europe, as We must
for our own safety. We must also

sponsiblities which that doctrine

once. Profieering, the charging Of
extortionate and uniustifed prices,
which is stupid as well as unlawful,
are subject now to ample punitive
laws. Those laws should be enfor-
ced, others if necessary added, and
the offenders, both great and small,
should be pursued and punished, not
in the headlines of newspapers after
the manner of the present Attorney
General but quietly, thoroughly and
efficiently, in the courts of the
United States. Something more in
this direction can be accomplished
by the proper regulation of cold
storage, and bill for that purpose
has passed both Houses and is now
in conference.
Another deap- seated cause of the
rise of prices, more effective in its
results although less obvious than
profitecring, is the abnormal in
crease per capita of the circulating
medium. This has doubled since the
war began and if in the space of a
Few years the amount of the circu-
lating medium is doubled il has II
most profound effect in stimulating
and advancing prices. During the
war credits have been enormously
inflated and there have been large
additions to the currency through
the Federal Reserve banks. Here it
is possible TO check the advance Of
prices by law We can provide FOR
the control of credits in such man
ner as TO give preference 10 the most
essential products. We are also able
TO reduce the amount of the circu-
lating medium in the form of FEEDER
nj Reserve bank notes the authority
having been given during the war
to increase the issue of these notes
from two billions to four billions.
II should be one of the first acts of
congress to deal with this essential
point and it would have II marked
effect in reducing prices by steady
ing them and bringing them down
to n lower and more normal level.
Remedy Lies in Production
The most potent remedy of all
against advances in the high cost of
living, however, lies in production,
which cannot be reached directly by
statutes. If production begins to
fail and fall off, the cost of every
thing will be advanced by the simple
force of scarcity which inevitably
drives prices upward The most es-
sential remedy for high costs is to
keep up and increase production and
particularly should every effort be
made to advance the productivity oi
the farms.

The Famous Article 10

Mr.. Wilson said in u recent letter
to Senator Hitchcock: "For my own
part | am not willing to trust to the
counsel of diplomats the working
ont of any salvation of the world
from the things when it has suf-
lcred." And he said this in behalf
of an alliance whose {presenia-
tiyes will all be diplomats and poll
ticians. They will all act in behalf of
the interests of their respective
countries and they will have nothing
judicial about them. Strip the
League of every clause which in
wolves the action Of political repre-
sentatives in the Assembly and the
Council and you leave but one arti-
Gle in which the diplomats of the
League as such will have no power
That is the famous article 10
Most of the League covenant was
prepared by General Smuts, OF
South Africa, but article 10 was the
work of the President OF the United
states. II is true this article is
free from diplomats. but it resis en-
trcly upon naked force. ln that
stay pence is to be preserved and
the nations freed from war BY mul-
iiplying the opportunities for the use
of force. Zach individual nation IS
bound by Article X 10 go TO war for
the protection Of the territorial in
tegrily and the political indepen-
dencc of every other milton in the
world at The time of signature; that
s. for the protection of states some
of which are not vet determined or
established. for the protection of
boundaries which no man can define.
We were to give such n guarantee
and any of the countries IN the
League in the event OF exterior ag-
gressiOn could have demanded our
armed assistance. and our soldiers
and sailors must then have gone
forth nj the command of foreign
countries unless We shattered all
hope of world peace by breaking q
solemn moral obligation. The Ropub
licans of the Senate. no mniier what
their future fate might be, were de-
,erqninel that the covenants cun-
aiming that article unmodiiicd
should never be ratified. II bccame
ovcry day clearer TO them that the
alliance called n League Of Nations,
instead of being guarantee for the
worlds peace. was n breeder of war
aud an enemy of peace. As We stud
led ii-nnd n majority of Senators
desired 10 have some League II pos
siblc which should be n genuine
League of Peace-we found that il
dragged us not only into every dis
puic and every war in Europe and in
the rest Of the world. but that our
soldiers and sailors might he forced

SCORE ONE FOR MRS. JONES
Neat Retort That Certainly Should
Have Made Her Better Half Do
Some Thinking.

How he ever happened to do 1t, heav-
en- only knows, but Jones really
brought home q small box of candy
and gave it to his wife with lOrdly
and gracious air. Mrs. Jones managed
to overcome her establishment sufti-
GENTLY to thank him, but evidently
Jones did not regard her expressions
Of appreciation as adequate to the oc-
casion, for he observed:
II happened to be with Smith when
he gave his wife a present yesterday.
Now, there's a woman who can really
show a man that she appreciates a
thing! Her expressions Of thanks were
really charming"
Doubtless, but consider how much
practice she has," Mrs. Jones respond

MORE THAN HE COULD STAND
Happy Homeward-B Bound Fisherman
Felt Called On to Denounee Claim
Of Supposed Rival.

He had fished all day and caught
nothing, yet his heart was light and
gay as he walked homeward. The
bottle Of "cold-defer" which he had
taken out in the morning full now re-
posed-empty and dead-among the
rushes by the rivers brim.
AS he wavered along the lane he
sang happily, though quite out Of tune,
and the gray twilight was to him a
rosy glow.
But presently he stopped and looked
with owl-like gravity over the hedge
at a scarecrow which stood In the
field, its arms outstretched. And the
angler shook his head
you're a liar!" he said. sternly.

participated with Charles f. Murphy
and other leaders of the New York del
egatiOn.
Each side was pulling for Tammany
support, and so many arguments en-
tered into the complex situation that it
was practically impossible to assess
them accurately.
On the thiryt-seventh ballot, the
first Of the night session, Arizona
nominated a full ticket. The state
chairman, announcing that ARIZONA
believes the ticket should be McAdoo
and Cox" cast four for McAdoo and
two for the Ohio Governor.
Annette Adams, of California, re-
Gently appointed to be an Assistant
Attorney General Of the United States,
drew one vote from California. On
the first seven states called McAdoo
gained one each in Alabama and Ari-
iona and had lost one each in Cali
fornia and Delaware.
New York stuck with Cox, as Indi-
ana had stuck with McAdoo. The re-
port that Indiana proposed to switch
back to Cox if McAdoo failed to show
start persisted.
Palmer took one from McAdoo in
North Dakota and then the familiar
"Cox forty-eight," that had burst
out from the Ohio space 36 times be-
fore, roared out for the thirty-seventh
time, while the convention let out a
storm of applause.
In Pennsylvania Palmer took one Of
McAdoos only two, and his string Of
"a in his native state
Illinois threw eight votes from Pal
mer to Cox.
In Virginia McAdoo gained five, Cox
lost a half and Palmer lost three.
When the Chairman announced no
choice on the thirty-seventh ballot,
the Cox, McAdoo and Palmer factions
rose and called to one another to
unite and end the deadlock.
At the close Of the thirty-eighth
Chairman Joseph T. Robinson seemed
to have hit upon an impartial manner
Of parceling out the music. He all
lowed the McAdoo boomers, the Pal
mer men and the Cox shouters on
verse each of their favorite air.
Balloting went forward amid scenes
of tremendous confusion. Alabama
opening the ballot by throwing its
vote to Davis. AS Connecticut, Illi-
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky and
Louisiana swept toward the Ohio flag
the din was increased, and when Mas
sachusetts threw her almost solid vote
behind the line, the convention SIM
ply went rapturuously mad and be-
came a bowling mass Of ecstatically
chanting men and women who went
Keeling and roaring through galleries
and corridors.

have struck.

ANIMALS END THEIR LIVES
Collie Dogs Said to Become Despond-
ent and Weary Of Existence When
Usefulness Is Over.

Some animals really commit suicide,
says writer in London Answers.
A dog either from old age or suffer-
ing from an incurable malady, will leap
into the sea. Especially is this true
of collie dogs. A kind Of melancholy
seems to take possession OF them
when their activities and usefulness
are impaired.
The writer has known Scotch col
lie to take, as it were, a farewell look
at the old herding hills one day and
then to plunge into the sea with a
whining cry, and thus end its misery.
Hunters have known the elk buck
and other big game to leap over preci-
pices deliberately and mangle them
selves when the man-enemy was with
in steady range of his prey.
A stork has been known to perish
in a conflagration rather than desert
her little helpless brood.
A swallow was seen flying back and
forth to it's nest after wicked wreck
ing of her nest by some mischievous
urchins. She was running the same
risk as her birdlings, and seemingly
faced the prospect of their fate I'M
flinchingly.

GIFT WITH STRING ATTACHED
Well for One to Think Twice II Offer.
cd a Billion Dollars Under
Certain Conditions.

Suppose fairy should come along
and smile at you and ask, 'Would you
care to have billion dollars?" You'd
think her a rather nice fairy, even If
she added, well, you may have it, all
IN new dollar bills, provided you count
1t yourself, as 1 am too busy. You
must agree, however, not to spend any
Of the money until you have the whole
billion counted"
Probably you'd set to work counting
at great rate-but, in case that fairy
should really happen along and make
that offer you had better stop right
now and consider just how you would
come out.
If you counted 100 bills a minute,
which would be fast work to keep up
for any great length Of time, you would
have in an hour $4,000, and If you
counted right on without stopping to
eat or rest for ten hours you would
have at the end Of your first day $780,
900. At the end Of year Of continu-
Gus counting, ten hours day, six days
week, you would have $1S.72O,OOO,
and you might begin to think your bill
lion almost won-but wait-a billion
Is thousand times a million, and to
count to that number, at the speed
which you had been making, would
require As years, 241 days, six hours
and 40 minutes.
No human being could keep up such
monotonous work for anything ap-
preaching this period without losing
his mind or having a complete physical
breakdown, even If he was willing to
wait half a lifetime before spending
any Of his earnings. But assuming
that one could keep on counting until
the end one would have to have cap
Ital Of at least $4,000 to live on mean
while. No, that would be very ma
licious fairy in disguise.
