GENERAL DAWEs-A MAN

It makes us feel real glad to see so

Congressional investigating committee
in Washington city few days ago.
His conduct, too, was commenda BILE
for getting hot under the collar and
using language at once animated and
emphatic showed the manner Of man
he is patriotic and loyal to the core.
Anything questioning the patriotic
conduct of the war was Justly offend
ing to him and he was not slow III
letting it be known.
The Chicago Journal gives express
sion to our views and we would be
glad to have our readers glance over
the extract reprinted from its columns.
We assure them that they will find
It good reading.
General Dawes stands high among
his fellows both in military and the
civil walks Of life and is prominent-
y mentioned for place in Mr.. Hard
ing's cabinet.
Had the majority Of Republicans
been as enthusiastic and patriotic
peace would have been almost imme-
dlafely restored, no such depression
as the world Is now md r0,;,, 3 ,.v.,,,.s

tragedies Of war would in measure
have been forgotten in the whirr Of

GEN. DAWES SPEAKS OUT IN
MEETING

1t is a pity the testimony Of Gen.
Dawes before. the house committee
which is investigating the conduct of
the war could not have been given
several months earlier. To be sure,
that might have cheated the smell
ing committee out of many an odor-
GUS sniff of gossip, but much heart
b1rning and worry and i'll feeling
Cen. Dawes declared emphatica1Iy
that the management Of the army in
France was well-nigh above reproach.
He defended the conduct of the war
in virtually every particular. He
pointed out that much of the gossip
was due to the activities Of disap-
pointed grafters. who dog every
calamity and who tried to ROB the
legions Of liberty in the great war.
He justified fatty the purchase of
some supplies in Britain. and as to
the liquidation of American war prop
ty in France after the armistice. he
holds that it is the best in the history
of the world:
We settled everything on the spot,
realizing about $3.50. 900 900, and clean
ed the record. Yet congress todav
still has pending before it a lot of
claims from revolutionary DAYS.
And this from a republican banker
who has been mentioned constantly

When the world has recovered from
IFS postwar attack of nerves, AmerI
cans will be proud beyond measure
OF the conduct Of their country dur
ing the great struggle and bitterly
ashamed Of the attempt to dim the ma
tional glory for the sake Of partisan
advantage, Gen. Dawes, with his
vigorous testimony, has helped to

is no occasion for It to poll its full
full voting strength.
For example. IN this congressional
district, Hon Frank Clark, our CON
gresham, had no opposition even in
the primary, so there was nothing to
call out anything like full vote as
is the case in closely contested cleo
tions.
That ought to be plain enough.
II there were but one political par
ty IN the North there would be but
little interest manifested in the cleo
tons there would be nothing to make
them exciting, so eventually, the same
as in the South, the voting strength
would proportionately diminish.
The Times is hanging its objections
on very flimsy pretext.
It's assumption is that the negro is
not allowed to vote in the South and
its argument is inspired solely from
