WE ARE GETTING WHAT
WE VOTED FOR.

When George Harvey was max
ing bis infamous statement the other
day in London as the American Am
bassador, to the effect that we fought
for sordid motives only in the great
war, President Harding was pratt
ing about some sort of world nm
defstanding TO prevent such another
war. The one spoke AS the mouth
piece Of the other. No so-caIied Soc
iaiist, who from honest or dishonest
motives opposed the entrance of the
United States into the conflict and
with misguided zeal always opposed
its prosecution even after the war
was forced upon us, ever said a word
to compare with this depraved deliver
ance OF Harvey, who places our coun-
try in worse position before the
world than the German war lords ever
gave US as money grubbers. Unfor-
tunsteiy Harvey was sent to Eng
land by President Harding himself
and what Harvey frankly says there
gives the lie TO the pious utterances
of the President. The lamented form
er President Mckinley prosecuted the
Spanish-Amcrican war, as the world
very well knows, for humanity's sake,
and with no other motive, just az
President Wilson addressed himself to
the prosecution of the war against
Germany to save all the peoples gov
ernments upon earth that were
threatened. And yet Harvey says
we fought to save our own bacon only.
II this renegade at the court of
st. James, this turncoat democrat
thus honorcd for his perfidy, is not
speedily repudiated by the power that
appointed him, so much the worse for
that power. President Harding is al
ready being called upon to bounce this
ambassador. Mrs. Ray Wyman Will
bur. wife Of the president Of the Stan
ford university and head of the Wo-
mans league for the Peace Treaty,
has taken the lead of enfranchised
American wOmanhood to this end.
Here Is a telegram just sent by Mrs.
Wilbur to President Harding:
We protest against the unauth-
orized statement OF Ambassador
Harvey that America would
not directly or indirectly have
anything to do with any associa-
ton Of nations. We feel that as
American citizens we have been
grossly misrepresented. since we
We're assured by you in pre-
election telegram that the United
States would not enter an associ-
alton of nations.
The Rev. Frederick Vining Fisher.
1 Boise preacher, based a recent SER
non on Harvey, whom the pulpit
,rcale called the Judas lscariot of the
party and the Benedict
Arnold Of the republican party, say
ny among other things:
No man who went through this
war ut the front or ut home and
knew II ut all but knows that the
one big thing for which we
fought was liberty and hope for
mankind. We fought to end war.
George Harvey has disgraccd his
country and II the government
supports him in his infamous
lies and his notice served on Eu-
rope that America will do nothing
for her unless for our own gain
then sooner or later America
must repudiate this administra-
ton and We who worked for II
will work harder against It..
America can afford TO lose her
markets. America can live in
poverty and see harder times
than ever the pioneers knew, but
America can not afford to lose
her honor, her faith, her unsel-
tiahness, her ideals, her soul.
What a pity that some other way
q nav the politicai debt fhnf the cam,
,aigu managers owed Harvey could
rot have been discovered. Dirty dol
airs would have been better, about
he price that was paid to Judas
Tor his part in tragedy two thous-
