fought to prevent the flag they loved
from being Inundated and the nation
they served from being invaded and
subjected to the domination of ar
enemy power which had struck at
every American by striking, repeated
ly, at his flag. There are newspapers
and politicians in the United States
incapable of understanding that the
defense Of America is the noblest
cause that her sons can fight for. Hold
ing their country in low esteem, they
canot understand that a war waged
for an American cause. They think
that only European issues are worthy
American sacrifice, although this ma
ton would have the slightest justifi-
cation for sending American boys to
foreign battlefields to be killed in be-
half of an academic political doctrine
or to change the borders of European
nations. When such newspapers and
politicians speak lightly of the cause
of National self defense, and declare
that those who died in order that this
republic might be conquered fell in
vain, they insult the memory of every
soldier dead and the service of every
American soldier of the World Wa
living.-The National Republican.

WOULD D1scRED1r PRESIDENT

Democrats are now seking to dis
credit the President by comparing a
letter written by him, to m written
by Wilson, remembering what the
people did to Wilson, because of the
letter, with the unspoken hope and
prayer that the same thing will hap
pen to Harding.
. Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississippi
pi, who seems to be the new leader of
the Democrats in Congress, charges
that President Harding's letter setting
forth the accomplishments of the ad-
ministration is similar in effect to the
letter which President Wilson sent out
on the eve of election in 1918 asking
for the return of a Democratic Con-
gress.
But there are several important diff
ferences. Let it be admitted that Hard
ing's letter was written to help the
senatorial election in New Mexico. 1t
was a political letter. 1t is just such
a letter as any President might prop
erly write in ordinary times.
But the Wilson letter was not writ
ten in ordinary times. President Will
son had a few weeks before issued a
declaration that politics is adjourn
ed. We were in the midst of war
and he had called upon all citizens to
lay aside ~partisanship and unite in
the effort to win. Republicans ac-

guessed in this, but on the eve of cleo
ton when it was presumably too late
for the Republicans to reply, Wilson
issued his infamous appeal for cleo
ton of a Democratic Congress as an
expression of confidence in him and in
his leadership when peace negotiations
should be taken up. The result was
defeat for the Democratic candidates
and the election of a Republican ma
jority in the House.
Senator Harrison knows all this, and
knows that there is no similarity be-
TWEEN the Harding letter setting forth
the Republican record, with no appeal
for votes, and the Wilson letter, ap-
pealing for votes but not setting forth
the record.

FOUND IN OUR
EXCHANGES
England Must Keep Its Hands Off Of
American Domestic interests.


A delegation of British steel men
recently j%ourneyed across the Atlantic
and appeared in Washington to protest
and give testimony against certain
features of the prospective Tariff Act,
which they considered, would be dis
advantageous to them. They were re-
ceived politely by the Finance Com
mittee and were given the some sort
of hearing that is usually accorded
American citizens.
Good feeling and entire friendliness
between the two great English-speak-
ing people is the hope of the world.
1t must be a friendship of peoples, not
of Governments, for Governments
themselves are as a fly beneath the
foot of an elephant if the policies they
espouse are distasteful to the public.
A quarter of a century ago, in a re-
markable letter published elsewhere
in this issue. Senator Lodge said to a
great Britisher: "In the Americas
we must be left alone, and / cannot
for the life of me understand why
England should always seek to alien
ate the United States. as she has for
a hundred years, when it is her obvious
policy to be friends with u.s." Senator
Lodges reference was more particular
ly, perhaps, to England's interference
in the Affairs of Latin-America in o
al defiance of the Monroe Doctrine,
but it is obvious that he had in mind
also the essentially distasteful tend
ency of England to influence or inter-
fere with our domestic legislation.
The country has before it the as
founding letters of Walter Hines Page,
then Ambassador to Great Britain, IN
which that gentleman took the posi-
ton that it was advisable for Presi-
dent Wilson to compel withdrawal OF
the Panama Canal tolls exemption for
our coastwise shipping in order to boil
ster up and strengthen the Liberal
party in its control of the British Gov
eminent. But this was not an inter-
ference of the United States in Brit
ish Affairs, indefensible as it was, but
was rather again an example of Brit
ish interference in American affairs, it
being obvious that Ambassador Page
at the time was acting as the mere
mouthpeice of British statesmen.
Americans, more than 80 per cent OF
them, resent and resent bitterly this
%patronizing, agonizing or meddlesome
attitude of Britishers. 1t is notorious
that already there has been too much
foreign pressure in Washington in re-
gard to the tariff bill. 1t is a mon-

KNOBESE CAMP FIRE

On Wednesday evening the Knobese
Camp Fire held its ceremonial council
fire at the home of the guardian, Mrs.
C. j. Hanson. The Camp has reached
it's full membership, and every girl
shows such splendid interest and fine
spirit in her work, that some good
work, that some good work is eX-
pected for the year. Several matters
of business were also discussed. A
series Of social events have been plan
ned for the winter months, one feature
being a short play to which only moth
ers or near friends will be asked. By
the close of October all of the charter
members will have attained their first
rank. Pauline Billingsley stands at
the top of the list as she has earned
1872 honors in nine months.

Big Disaster in Germany.

Mayence, Sept. 24.-Eight hundred
persons are reported killed and many
injured today by explosions in the
Badische Anilinfabrik works at OPP
pau, near Frankenthal, in the Rhine
palantinate.
The disaster appears in the history
Of industrial catastrophes. The first
explosion occurred when the shifts
were being changed at 7:45 a. M, in
the laboratory, where 300 men we're
working. All these are reported to
have been killed. The explosion was
followed by a rapid succession Of 9TH
ers, which rendered assistance to the
first victims impossible.
The conclusions were so terrific
they we're felt here, some IS miles
from the scene. At Mannheim, 10
miles distant, almost every window
was shattered, several persons killed
and SO were injured by the debris.
Some persons were killed at Ludwigs-
hafen, across the river from Mannhim
and many roofs were blown off the
houses. All windows were broken at
Worms. Nothing remains Of Oppau
except a heap Of ruins.

Then for upkeep each year the

vastating effect it would have on a

It is a truism that he fares i'll who
seeks to intervene in a quarrel between
mar and wife. No less sensitive is
this or any other nation when outsid-
ers attempt to influence its domestic
policies. The visit of the British steel
men to Washington has already caused
a bitter feeling in this country. It will
be referred to in political campaigns
for years to come. It will be exag-
gerated and "played up" by elements
in the nation which, as a definite pur-
pose, seek to create hostility between
the two nations. 1t was, indeed, al
asinine performance and a sensible
British Ministry would have prevented
it.
Hands off, is the only policy Lon
don can pursue with any success in the

THE PEOPLE STILL RULE

With the railroad strike threatened,
some politicians, as we'll as some So
called labor leaders appear to over
look the fact that though the railroads
were returned to private control the
public is still paying the bills caused
by artificial rules, regulations and
wage scales forced on the railroads
FOR political purposes.
In all countries the price of COM
modities has been lowered and wages
have been revised downward.
In the United State farm products
are lower in price than for many years
and the price of other necesasries of
life has been sharply reduced. Wages
of labor generally have been lowered
in c%onsonance with reduced cost of liv-
ing. Justice dictates that all be treat
ed alike. .e.r'..
But railroad labor, which is the
highest paid of all, ~brazenly says that
changes in wages and working condi-
tons will not be accepted. Not only
does this class of labor propose to re-
tain war wages but also fifty per cent
more for all time after eight hours.
Not long ago when the shadows Of
the great war were gathering on our
horizon this same element with stop
watch in hand forced the passage of
the Adamson law with threats of a
strike, a surrender of governmental
power as humiliating to the public as
it was subversive Of popular. govern
ment. No president Or Congress will
eve dare to again put the patience
or tolerance of the people to such a
test.
The situation has entirely changed
them since. The stop-watch is now
being held by the public, more deter
mined than the radical labor ~oligrachy
ever vas that exploitation of the pub
lie shall cease.
Strike or no strike the public is de-
termined than wages and working con-
ditions of railroad employees shall be
readjusted downward as in other in
dustry, and that working agreements
which permit railroad employees to
draw pay when not actually working,
or fifty per cent more than their pres
ent high rate for all time after eight
hours, shall be cancelled.
+ The public is watching closely the
attitude of the U. S. Railroad Labor
Board. If this Board takes the neces-
sary action in revising wages and in
eliminating from working agreements
provisions which permitted such
abuses as overtime after the first
eight hours at time and a half wheth-
er sleeping or working, the public will
sustain it. If it fails, the public will
not only condemn it but very probably
wipe it out.
The people will not be trifled with
either by railroad employees or the
Labor Board. They will not be deter
red, as in the days Of the Adamson
~fiasco, by threats of a strike. In the
first place there never was a bette,
time to clean house. The country is
filled with idle men and there will be
plenty to fill all vacancies. In the
second place the people, and not a few
agitators, are going to continue to rur
