Capt. Watson and his companion came
up in their car and offered assistance.

EL PAsO EDITOR Is UNFAIR

The editor OF the III Paso Herald
takes n twisted and peculiar view OF
the activities In favor Of the Bursum
hin 10 proyide the retirement privileges
for disabled volunteer officers OF the
world war as are now enjoyed by OF
ficers OF the regular establishment
The I'll PasO scribe seems to think thht
the frineds OF the Bursum measure
are attempting to discredit the war
services OF the regular army OFFICERS
when they point out that the volunteer
officers were forced To take over tne
dangerous function of troop leadership
at the front. This fact does not AT
ali reflect on the officers Of the regu'
ior service because they were OF nee
cesity engaged in organization, training
and administration work. Sixty per
cent of such officers never got over
seos. though they would have given
their good right arms to nave h"u
that privilege. ,.,,.,oa
The volunteer officers dominated
tho smaller combat units even OF 'u'
regular divisions fact that mas eS,, ",
dently escaped the notice or the ~
paso editor when he speaks ot losses

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, June 27.-Opposition
of Republican newspapers to Republi-
can extravaganza in appropriations
and expenditures is beginning to de-
velop, although the administration
has been in office less than four
months.
A conspicuous instance of revolt is
found in the editorial columns of the
Akron (O.) Beacon Journal.
Referring to the passage of the
French naval budget just passed,
which carries only $1l3,O00,000, as
against our appropriation of nearly a
half billion dollars, the Beacon Jour
nal says:
"This should be enough to cause us
to pause for thought. But we are not
going to do it. We are going to load
the people down with useless taxes,
we are going to spend a billion and a
quarter for war (nearly billion
when the people need bread, and APP
parently we do not care what they
think about it. Such madness is al

ito kill the Republican party as he has
killed himself. If he were nominated
for any office on any ticket today he
would be defeated by more than hun
bred thousand votes in Missouri. St.
Louis alone would go at least forty
thousand against him. Reports have
come to the Censor from all parts of
the state showing the feeling against
Hyde, and that feeling is growing with
such force that the member of either
house of the general assembly who OPP
poses or does not actively act in favor
of a movement for eliminating Hyde is
going to have to answer some pointed
questions from his constituents. Hyde,
Hughes & Co. are riding the Republi-
can party in Missouri to ruin. To
save itself the Republican party must
unhorse Hyde. Pinhead and petty pol
itician though he it, he is load the
party cannot afford to carry.If Hyde
refuses to get out voluntarily, the par
ty should dump him. He is rotten

New York Herald Turns

The New York Herald, one of the
leading Republican organs of that
state, which has heretofore opposed
the Borah plan for reduction of ar
mament, demanded a big army and
navy and generally endorsed every
thing Republican, has faced squarely
about and is now demanding that en-
travagant appropriations be cu:. In
its issue of June 20 it says:
"The New York Herald would like
to see the combined billion dollar ap-
preparations flor army and navy cut
in half. In the present world outlook
we should be willing that the govern
ment gamble to this extent, and We
are satisfied that we would rot be TAX
ing long chances at that.
Government expenditure are iutol-
cradle and some big dents have got to
be made in them. The only solution is
che broadaxe."
"Wait" anG Hush"
The Philadelphia Public Ledger
(Rep.) continues to chide the present
administration for its policy of
drifting. Under the caption "No-
body Knows, it says editorially:
"In Washington nobody knows just
what the inner circles of the Admin
istration are doing about the three
greatest of our foreign problems.
There is silence, silence that may
mean anything or nothing.
"This is June 20. The Harding ad-
ministration came into power or
March 4. More than a hundred days
have come and gone since, We are in
the fourth month Of the new Admin
istration pledged to action on peace,
the limitation of armament and a
world association of nations.
"What has been done? Just what
are the accomplishments in these
pledged matters?
1.-THE House and Senate are having
q tug-of-war over the form and scope
of 'declaratory peace resolution
The White House, to all appearances,
is untroubled over that deadlock.
"The foreign policies of the Hard
ing Administration retain their wrap
pings of uncertainty and their mists
of vagueness. There is a wall of 81
lence around them. Cryptic utter
ances are the rule. The oracle when
it speaks speaks as did the Oracle of
Delphi.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-07-01

most inconceivable and if the party
now in power thinks it is going to es-
cape an accounting at the hands of
the people it is sadly mistaken. 1t
can serve the interests of the ship
builders, the powder makers, the ar
NOR plate manufacturers back of the
measure if it must but as sure as God
reigns the people will not stand for it.
They will not always consent to have
their faces ground down on the stone
of confscatory taxation, and the glib
gentlemen now in Congress who are
all for economy in their speeches and
yet vote for this thing will have to
face day of reckoning, for the peo-
pie must put an end to this thing be-
fore there can ever be hope of lower
taxes in this country.
"The issue is perfectly plain. The
Beacon Journal is a Republican news
paper, but it wants to say here and
now that it will follow no party and
no man in a cause so plainly bad. On
the other hand, it proposes to oppose
to the utmost of its power even the
Republican party on this program and
from now on it will make war unceas-
ingly upon any man and any party
that seeks to follow this policy which
means inevitable ruin to the people of
this country if it is carried out as now
intended"

Editor Calls for Harding's Plan

In a most respectful but earnest
letter to President Harding, Hamilton
Holt, editor of The Independent New
York; calls upon him to disclose his
plans for world peace, declaring that
the time has come for him to redeem
his promises in this respect. After
recalling Mr.. Harding's campaign
promise to seek to establish an Asso-
citation of Nations. Mr.. Holt says:
"You have not yet given the Amer
lean people the slightest inkling of
the terms Of this Harding Association
that you propose shall supplant the
Wilson League. You cannot
hope to get public opinion behind your
association without taking your coun-
trymen into your confidence"
Pointing out that Democratic sup
port is necessary to the ratification of
the covenant of such an association
because the Democrats control more
than one-third of the Senate, MI.
Holt continues:
"Mr. President, the time has come
for you to redeem your promises. The
country and the world have waited
long enough to know just what kind
of an association of nations you have
in mind. If you delay much further
people everywhere will inevitably con-
clude that either you have no concrete
plan at all or else that you propose
to put party harmony above world
welfare"
