Business Means Prosperity

Until the United States shall
adopt definite foreign policy bust
ness must remain unsettled. Great
rs 1t is, this country cannot prosper
when it's relations with the rest Of
the world are suspended.
We are without foreign policy
to-day. IL Mr.. Cox is made Presi-
dent we shall continue without one.
For he viii insist on the Wilson
League Of Nations plan, which the
country does not want and will not
have.
The result 10 bound % DO pro.
trscted unrest and uncertainty. Cap
itai cannot be obtained for the ex-
tension Of industrial enterprises
when the future is insecure. Labor
can look forward neither to good
wages nor steady employment IL in
dustry Is paralyzed.
Mr. Cox, multi-millionaire though
he Is, temporarily affects, following
the example Of Mr.. Wilson, a fine
indifference to business and 70 BUSH
ness men. To him the adoption Of
the Wilson treaty without dotting
an 81" or crossing a "t'' appears to
be far more important than tho res
toration Of prosperity.
Mr.. Cox, being . man Of great
wealth, can afford to take this att
tyde. But the vast majority Of the
people cannot.
Burdened with taxes, finding the
making of living increasingly diff
ficuls and hampered in every effort
to establish new enterprises or main
tain old ones, they feel that they
are entitled to relief.
r They want q government that will
encourage industry instead Of sur
rounding It with difficulties. They
want q foreign policy that will re-
store commerce and make possible
the resumption of trade relations
with other countries.
They want an Administration
which will understand that all the
people are dependent on the business
of the country and cannot prosper
unless business prospers.
The first duty Of new Admins
tration will be to make the future
secure. That the Republican party
has promised to do.
Mr.. Cox, on the other hand, has
promised to take up the fight that
Mr.. Wilson has conducted so stub
bornly, with appalling results to the
whole country.
He cannot win it any more than
Mr.. Wilson could. And while he is
prolonging the hopeless struggle the
unrest and uncertainty OF the last
two years will increase, while bust
meas win continue to be hampered To
the point Of stagnation.

The Wall Street Outrage
Opinions Of Tribune Readers Concerning Causes and
Methods of Preuention
TO che Editor Of The Tribune.

TO che Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Just as long as our men in pub
lie oface and our newspapers "hedger
on the subject OF law and order we will
have Eepetitions Of the Wall Street
bomb outrage.
There is TOO much fear Of offending
some class or group, and g consequent
failure to command the respect of any
class or group. A clam will not arouse
bitter antagonism, nor will it ever
ktndle warm admiration. Not one candi-
date OF officeholder in q hundred seems
to have enough backbone to advocate
strict observance Of the laws Of this
country and swift and severe punish.
rnens for those who don't see fit to obey
them.
We hear COO much Of individual lib
erty," rights Of Labor" freedom Of
speech" and too little Of respect for the
law an orderly enforcement OF which
would protect and guarantee to Us the
right to live and impose the correspond
Ing obligation to let live.
Riots, disorder, mob law and seditious
meetings should be suppressed, if it re-
quires the entire army of the United
States. ANY one convicted, after fair
trial, Of plotting to destroy this govern
ment by force should be shot, not sent
for an ocean voyage at the expense OF
the intended victims.
We do not want coddling or sympa-
thetic paternalism for ourselves or 9TH
era. We want 40 privileges not granted
20 all. nor do we feel that any should be
excused from the obligations which &C.
company the rights Of citizenship.
"Rsd.blooded Americanisrn" is q de-
ssrvedly popular. phrase, but, to para.
phrase Mr.. Goldberg, "Does it mean an,
ehing7" It evidently does suggest great
possibilities to eertuin elemeneof our
population In spsttering our sidewalks
and buildings with their favorite color.
America does mean something to most
OF u.s. and 1t has meant something to
many who have given che last full meas
ure OF devotion. It remains FOR US to
see that they have mot died in vain.
A seat on the xence seems TO be the
ambition Of our public men. "Let
George do It" and "Yeu tell 'em" are
ehe watehwords Of tho hour.
Too many people interpret personal
liberty as the inalienable right to
bounce pop bottle of an umpire, smash
another mans straw hat, OF preach
treason on the street corner.
The great majority Of the people Of
shis country are sound and sane. How
long shall we allow q vicious minority to
srread eontagion? One Sotten apple
Will infect barrel Of good ones. How
many tons OF nitroglyeerine will it take
TO jolt us from our complacene slumber :?

Co.'s Pet Ellusiom

The official canvass in Illinois will
decide whether Robert A. Burke OF
Peter A. Waller is to be the Demo
cratic nominee for Senator. On late
returns they have been running
neck and neck. Waller was the or
ganizatiou candidate; Burke was an
jnsuzgent.
The Illinois primary throws Some
Light on Governor Cox's claim that
. Democratic victory IL needed to
insure this eountry's entry into the
League Of Nations. Burke IL q well
known Democratic leader In Chi.
cago. AZ the Democratic National
Convention Of 1919 he refused TO
make President Wilson's yenomina-
ton unanimous. He jumped ON O.
chais and interrupted the proceed
ings BY shouting: y ann against
Wilson thousand ways from Sun
day!"
In the primary fight he waa anti
Wilson and anti-league. His chief
appeal 70 Illinois Democrats was
"I.st 40 get rid Of Wilson and VII
sonisrn." There Is q strong proba-
bality that he has beaten the orsanl-
Sataon candidate On that issue.

Cox's College Yell
Has the United States the Mind O.
a Fourteen Yem-Old Bow

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The political situation has be-
come deliciously grotesque. Some one
oas'ng his judgment on the psychologi.
cal tests Of the War Bureaus has calum.
niously asserted that the average vote,
OF che United States has the mind OF
fourteen-year-oid boy. Judging BY
the way In which Cox is fighting, he
thinks 80. He reminds one Of George
meredtth's description in The Ordeal
OF Richard Fevesel Of the Aghtina
Of the fourteen-yeas-old-boy Ripton
Thompsons
"He was all abroad and fought In
sehoelboy style-that is, he rushed 81
the foe hendforsmost and struck like o
windmill. He was lumpy boy. When
he did hit he made himself felt, but
he was at che mercy Of science. TO sec
him come dashing in, blinking and puff
fine and whirling his arms around tkhile
the Telling blow went straight between
them, you perceived that he was fight
ing fight of desperation and knew it,"
He Is still shouting "For Peace, Prog.
ress and Prosperity" The slogan IL as
misty as fogbank. What is meant by
1t? II It means technical peace we
would have had that year and o half
ago had 1t not been for our Democratic
President. If it means progress In
human welfare and rights, the Repub.
licans overthrow slavery and have al.
ways been the temperance party and
have done five times as much as the
Democrats for woman outrage.
Undoubtedly the PROSPERITY meant ia
material. That 10 the only part Of the
slogan that sounds clear through the
fog. It ts Ineligible and legitimate
and yet even it Is decidedly indefinite.
How is prosperity to come? Is It by
forbidding TO buy Cuban sugar at z
cents pound so that the people have
to pay 2e7 Is It by hanging on to war
authority for two years after the war
10 over and thereby keeping govern
ment expenses way beyond those Of
peacs times7 Moreover, In this only
note Of definitencss there is no moral
appeal. Its only call is to get all you
can for yourself Of earthly goods. II
caters to the lower selfishness Of the
times.
The slogan is the college yell Of o
wider constituency. The urge Of youth
for expression in noise does not wholly
die out in middle life. The thrill Of
reciprocal vitality. felt by members Of
the herd, the gang, the club, is also
felt in the Fellowship of any organiza-
ton. Greek letter societies, lodges,
churches, instinctively reach out for
nationwide and worldwide member
ship. The Democratic slogan has the
college yell flavor, but political party
slogan should have ideas enough to ap-
peal to men and women. 1t must not
only arouse the thrill Of vitality and
self-interest, but Of human welfare and
Of honorable leadership. A political
party that deliberately sets out to win
with yell that ,omits the nobler appeal
and points to no zeal good for humanity
is beating retreat toward bsrbarism.

Lenieney 10 Mooney

Te the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: When Thomas J. Mooney was
apprehended for the Preparedness Day
murder, Of which che Wsll Street ex-
plosion is replica, his friends realized
that there was no chance for him in q
court Of Justice, and that they must
bring influence TO bear to defeat his re-
ceiving his just deserts. In spite of all
their efforts District Attorney Flicker.
was loyal to Justice and the public in.
terest, and Mooney was tried ana. On
che evidence against him was over.
whelming, no was convicted and sen.
fenced to death. This gave a staeger.
ing blow to the anarchists, who pulled
every string that shey could, using espe.
c'ally William B. Wilson, Secretary OF
Labor who had underground ~eonuec-
tons with Mooney, to defeat the ends
Of justice, and they succeeded in getting
President Wilson TO intercede three
times for Mooney with the Governor OF
California, with the result chat Mooney's
death sentence was committed 70 life inn
prisonment. This gave the anarchists
immense encouragement, and thev
started propaganda al over the conn
try in MONEYS behalf. Is has done
more to encourage the cause Of ansrchv
and murder than almost any other event
In United States history.
Congress PASSED law for deporta.
ton OF certain types Of criminal aliens
who were endeavoring to overthrow our
government by force. louis r. Post,
Assistant Secretary of Labor, and con-
trolled by William B. Wilson. Secretary
Of Labor, and by President Wilson, can
celed the deportation warrants against
MANY Of the worst Of these criminals
and, as Attorney General Palmer put It,
"has utterly nullified the purpose Of the
Congress in passing the deportation
statutes" and has "shown Savors TO VIC.
lators Of the law and their attorneys"
The deportasions had gone far toward
checking anarchy and had discouraged
the anarchists and communists 10 much
that the anarchist paper Freedom had to
discontinue publication. Posts action
gave immense encouragement 20 these
criminals. and as It was we'll known to
Secretary Wilson and President Wilson
and was protested against by Attorney
Genera! Palmer. they evidently approved
Of 1t, for nothing was done TO re-
verse It.
But for these actions OF President
Wilson and Assistant Secretary Of Labor

that took place in Walt Street on Sep

bility should DO placed where is belongs.

fortune spared the lives Of those who
were killed. The rioters in Brooklyn In
any honest sense are as guilty as they
would have been had the missiles which
they threw killed the innocent persons
under attack.

fame the public mind. Nevertheless, !
believe that The Tribune would have
done better service had it not isolated
its report Of the outrage in the streets
OF Brooklyn; 1t would have been better
had The Tribune classified the reports
Of the two outrages in order that the

where responsibility for such crimes
