New Political Parties.
{ Indianapolis News. )

After the country had listened to claims that the FarmerLabor party would sweep the nation the last Presidential election, the tabulation showed 272 000 for the Farmer Labor candidate for President compared with 26,3S5,S ,S64 east for the other candi dates for President. Harding had over 16 900 O0O Cox 5000, 900 and Debs nearly 1000 0OO The Prohibition vote fell to 18867S. The Progressive Party boiled 4126020 votes in 1912, compared with 3483 1922 for the Republicans and 6,2862Il for the Iee mocrats yet the Progressive party scon lost it's identity. Recently suggestions made at a labor .ueeting in Indianapolis that Labor-Farmer party b. formed but if political history of the future is be judged by that of the past, the effort will fail One for this is the lack of interests between the farmers and the labor leaders. For the lsst few years of the chief complaints of the farmers has been the high wages they had to pay for labor One of the greatest efforts of the labor leaders has been to raise wages and keep them up. lie farmers want a reduction in productive costs Fey labor leaders have been quoted willing to aee wages go lower. although they must realize that an adjustment is in progress.

PRESIDENT HARDING'S ARMISTICE DAY
 SPEECH.

President Harding never made finer speech than tlat which he delivered at the funeral of America uuSuo&n hero at Arlington yesterday, and he haf made many great speeches. He never spoke before 8 ereatcr aseemblage or more impressive occasion tAouah he has often spoken to the great and at i'm tortant times. It would be difficult for one to put nto language the meaning of the National tribute tc those Americans who sacrificed theiE lives in ths World War clearly than did the President, The esson of the event was translated that all may learn it.
 These words worth reproducing, and all Amer jeans should learn the lesson they teach:
 Paying tribute to the dead. must scerate ourselves to better order for the living.
 This American soldier went forth to battle with no hatred for any people in the world but hating and hating the pur- pose of every for conquest.
 He cherished national rights and ab-
 bored the threat of armed domination and ia the maestrom of destruction, suffering death he fred his shot for the Liberation of tho captured conscience of the world. In ad- yancing toward his objectves there was sosnewhere the thought of world awakened and hear to testify undyng ungrati- Jude and reverence for this thought of wider freedom. Etf~stt
 Todays ceremonies proclaim that this s hero unknown is not linhonored. We saiher him to the nations breast within tho shadow of the Capitol. Here the n- spirations of yesterday and the conscience of tomorrow unite to make the Republic worthy of his death for Flag and Country
 speak not pacifst fearing but who loves justice and hates war and speak who believes that the high function of government is to give citizens security of peace, opportunity to achieve and the pursuit of happiness.
 One might well believe that President Hardin had In mind, among other things, the Disarmament Conference which will convene at Washington before this paper reaches it's readers, and that he was preparing the public for the speech he will deliver hat iS he del gates there to assemble. If so, he could not have spoken better.
