Mistakes We Often Make.

There is a provcrb which reads -
"The man who never made a mistake
never made anything else" There Is
a great deal Of truth in that saying.
Sometimes we come across one OF
those perfect individuals who claims
never to make mistakes. but more
often we find that these very same
persons not only make mistakes but
very grave ones.

achievement, you put away the sug-

not be attained by the methods and

Though this resolution was adopted

Of Doan's Kidney Pills, having used
them for disordered kidneys and back
ache and they cured me of the COM

echoes of his own wishes and slaves
of his every whim, as we have seen
for the last eight years from Woodrow
Wilson and his so-called cabinet Off
GERS. Of course the newspaper men,
a swell as others who hav except up
with the news, were not surprised
when Mr.. Harding made this an
nouncement. He simply told the group
of news writers that he had asked
Mr.. Hugher to Florida to offer him
the cabinet post and that he was hap
py to say Mr.. Hughes had accepted.
Someone then asked Mr.. Harding
what the two men had talked about
in their conversation. This was be-
cause it will depend a great deal on
the Secretary of State as to just how
We will bring about actual peace with
Germany. Mr.. Harding said. Governor
Hughes can tell you himself And
then went on to say that that would
be the policy of the Harding admin
istration. Cabinet officers will run
their departments in cooperation with
the the White House. They will not be
run by DICTATION AND FLAT OR
DERS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.
"Now lot of people who are
against the world club plan think Mr.,
Hughes is in favor of it. They are
greatly mistaken He has always been
absolutely opposed to that dangerous
part, Article Y, and a strong support
er of the Monroe Doctrine which
explained to you long time ago. |
could read you statements of his
from a dozen different speeches show
ing that he is NOT for the world club.
Here is one strong one:
"'I believe that Senator Harding's
election will afford the surest way of
securing our proper relation to inter-
national cooperation. The essentials
of any really effective plan can be Sc
cured, and | believe will be secured,
under the Presidency of Mr.. Harding,
without guarantees whic hattempt to
commit us in unknown contingencies
and which will serve as trouble breed
ers and not as peace makers. Under
his leadership we shall have our for
eign relations conducted in accord
ance with our best traditions, and
Amercia's duty to the world will be
discharged without ignoring her duty
to herself
"And here is another good sign: Mr..
Hughes has promised to hold daily
conferences at the State Department
with the newspaper men so that the
peope of the country will be informed
of every thing possible that is going
on in our relations with foreign pow
ers."

REPUBLICAN WOMEN
ORGANIZE INTO
NATIONAL CLUB
Women Organize Under G. 0. p. Ban
ner - Greeted BY Governor
Miller-Sexes In Double
Harness.

Washington. The Women's Ma
tional Republican Club, just formed in
New York City, is the first organiza-
tion of its kind ever attempted in any
political group and already represents
on its membership lists over GOO of
the leading Republican women of the
country. The only qualification for
membership is allegiance to the Re-
publican party. More than twenty
states are now represented on the rap
idly increasing membership lists.
The approval of all party leaders
sponsored the formal opening of the
Cub last week. Especially noticeable
were the congratulatory messages of
the officials and members o fthe board
of governors Of the national Repub-
lican and Union League Clubs. Gov
ernor Nathan L. Miller of New York
state eptomized the significance in
party affairs Of this unprecedented or
ganization in his message to the wo-
men which said, in part:
"The advent of women in political
affairs should bring, has already
brought, I believe, new and whole
some influence to bear on the welfare
Of the nation, state and municipality.
In particular, it is to be expected that
the ken interest of women in the pres
ervation of the purity and integrity of
the home will kindle alike interest in
the purification and elevation of a
related snhere-that of government.
ALLOW me to praise the wisdom
! which leads you to avoid the SEM
b'ance Of -partisanShip and to ally
yourselves openly with one fthe two

political action which the experience
of this country has approved because

the development of well defined poll
cies and their practical realization in
government Ply such a decision YOU

energies or wasting YOU refforts in the
pursuits of vagaries, crude theories,
or such doubtful projects as Cften

lative action by irresponsible agencies
