New Jersey republicans claimed to
have elected IL assemblymen out of a
total sixty seats contested and as

True Business Precents-

To rise in the world you must keep
on doing. See that you have enough
irons in the fire to keep you busy.
Add a new one as you become skilled
to do faster and better work. Keeg
them all hot and use the hammer with
trained eye and hand. Keep at it.
Let others tire Ii they must. Their.
will always be enough work to keer
you busy and the buster you are the
more you will learn to accomplish,
Don't be afraid of new things. Every
one who attempts to rise has them.
The way you attack them will reveal
your fitness for bigger things and as
you succeed interested watchers of
your efforts will pass on the story OF
your activity thereby advertising your
worth and helping you rise to your
rightful place in the world. So
whatever you do use the right means
and keep your irons hot.-Grit.

The Potosi Journal, adverting to
the Democratic claim that Harding's
"Association of Nations" is but an
other name for Mr.. Wilson's League
of Nations, says they are antipodes,
and asserts:
1t is a matter of record that after
he had had his way at Paris about his
precious League of Nations, Wilson
demanded a navy for the United
States ''incomparably the greatest" of
all nations, and through his puppet
secretary of war that we should main
tain a standing army of half a million
men. 1t is also a matter of record
that he assured European govern
ments that both our navy and armies
would be dispatched across the cas-
every time the peace of Europe was
threatened. He assumed to make
the United States military peace
officer of the world.
This is but a repetition of some of
the falsehoods put forth by the Re-
publican campaign pr~opagandists last
year. Every possible effort vas made
by Mr.. Wilson to institute among ma
tions of earth such a covenant that
neither big armies nor navies would
be necessary for the general safety.
He abhors militarism and his voice
has always been for peace and justice.
But he withal has sinned beyond for
giveness; he was commander.in-
chief OF the American forces that
helped lick the Hohenzollern over
lords out of their boots, and hatred of
him dwells in the hearts of the i'm
perial following. The Journals con-
sistent in its enmity and a~nimadver-
sion.

HERE is an excerpt from a chapter
of u%ndisputed An erican history. 1t
relates to the famous John Jay treaty,
enacted during Washington's second
term as President. The treaty at the
time was denounced by loudmouthed
patriots out OF office who gave vent
to vituperation and Islander heaped
mountain high upon the devoted head
OF the ''Father of his country" 1
quote:
"Slowly the storm blew eff. The
country had obviously gained more
than he had conceded, and tardily
saw the debt it owed to Mr.. Jay and
to the Administration, whose firmness
and prudence had made his mission
possible. But in the meantime things
had heen said which could not be for
gotten. Washington had been assail-
ed with unbridled license, as IN enemy
and a traitor to the country had even
been charged with embezziing public
moneys during the Revolution; was
madly threatened with impeachment,
and even with assassination; and had
cried amidst the bitterness of it all
that she would rather be in his grave
than in the Presidency"
That yelping, snarling crew are now
buried in oblivion while the object of
their hatred lives in the hearts of his
fellow c%ountrymen and will be loving
ly cherished while time endures. And
history-American history-is going
to repeat itself. The partisan enemies
in evidence today will be glad of the
oblivion of tomorrow while the OBJ
]ect Of their hatred-Woodrow Will
son-will be accorded his due as a
statesman and patriot.
