tasks OF today. War never left such
an aftermath. Discoura ging indebted

must be provided for. No civilization
can survive reputation. We can re-

we will. We can strike at war taxa

Task of Readjustment.
The business world reflects the dis

abnormal demands. credit mutations

the readJustment with care and cour-
age. Perhaps we never shall know the
old levels of wage again. because war

and the necessaries Of life will show
their inseparable relationship, but we
must strike for normalcy to reach
stability. All the penalties will not

Duty Before Women Voters.
With the nation wide induction of wom-
anhood into our political life we may
count upon her fntuitions her refine

RevoIutionists Warned.
If revolution insists upon overturning
established order, let other peoples make
the tragic experiment There is no place
for it in America. When world war
| threatened civilization we pledged our re-
sources and our lives to its preservation,
and when revolution threatens We unfurl
the flag of law and order and renew our
conservation. Ours is a constitutional
freedom where the popular VIII is the
law supreme and minOrities are sacredlV
and evOlutons reflect a deliberate judg
, ment and orderly progress. and we
mean to cure our ills, but never destroy
or permit destruction by force.
Tariff REIMBURSEMENT.
1t has been proved again and again
that we cannot while throwing our mar
kets open to the world, maintain Ameri-
can standards of living and opportunity,
and hold our industrial eminence in such
unequal competition. Today. as never be-
fore, when peoples are seeking trade
restoration and expansion, We must ad-
just our tariffs to the new order. We
seek participation in the worlds eX-
changes, because therein lies our way to
widened influence and the triumphs Of
peace We know fun well we cannot sell
where we do not buy, and we cannot sell
successfully where we do not carry. OPP
portunity is calling not alone for the
restoration. but for new era in produce
ton transportation and trade. We shall
answer it best by meeting the demand
of surprising home market, by pro-
noting self-relance in production and by
bidding enterprise, genius and efficiency
to carry our cargoes In American bot
toms to the marts of the world.
Americas Highest Ideals.

ing within and for herself alone but
