WHAT IS BACK OF THESE JOURNAL
 ISTIC JEREMIADS?

Following d conference between Democratic National Chairman White and eX-Presldent Wilson, announcement was made that the Dem ocratic party program will be to oppose and attack the Harding administration at every point. The world has been passed down the line to the party politicians and newspapers, and in conformity with this program the two organs-in-chicf of the party, the New York Times and the New York World, more narrow and ntolcrant in their partisanship, probably, than any other two publications in the United States, have begun to pour out their venom upon the administration and party i'll power. Here is fair sample of the violent partisan rhodomontadc cXudcd by the New York Times, which adds to the ofensiveness of its partisan ship the hypocrisy of an ''indepcndent'' pose:
 If the Republican party could forget politics it
 would be a very respectable organization. it could
 put aside it's deathless greed for power it would de
 praise. If it could rid itself of the deusion
 that 1t is a party of the elect, that it is better than
 any party, especially the Democratic party it
 would somewhat worthy of respect If it's leaders mad principles and conscience and enough
 common honesty to attempt good faith. when they
 power, keep promises they have made to
 the people, the party would enjoy larger measure of public confidence. The spectacle presented at Washington by Republican faithlessness, incompe-
 
 and attention of the country. The party betrayed the people and is deeply concerned about it's selfish designs and miserable squabbes

 The basis for this outbreak is that in less than five months time the Republican party has failed to undo the vast injury, some of 1t iIreparable inflicted upon the country by thcI Democratic party under the Wilson leadership in eight years. That efficiency has not been displaced by efficiency; that vast national eX- pcnditurcs the heritage of this Wilson period have not been discontinued; that only small progress has been made toward cleaning upI thc frightful wreckage that lies in the wake of Wilsonism-this is made the basis of vicious abuse such as that to which the New York Times, in the violence and meanness of its par tisanship, thus gives expression.
 It is scarcely necessary to comment upon such an arraignment as that which the Times prints conspicuously on its editorial page. ItI is supported by no facts, no arguments, no req son; 1t is mere V snarling attack, inspired byl traditional hatred of Republicanism and the ranking disappointment of last years over whelming repudiation by the American people of those persons and politics of which the Times is editorialy the mouthpiece. : a
 It is to be expected that from now on the national administration and the Republican party will be assailed by every publication in the country which was in sympathy with the Wilson leadership. These publications were sol dazed by fast November's election result that they were for a time silent, but they have at last recovered their voices and are again lifting them in such denunciation and defamation as that quoted from the New York Times.
 The climax of the Times screed is reached in its denunciation, in the midst of "hoier than thou'' arraignment of Republicanism, of the Republican party on the frightful charge of considering itself "better" than the Demo- cratic party With the New York Times such pretension as that on behalf of any political party amounts to proclamation.
