Sam had no business to have responsibilities.
 President Harding has rightfully taken the stand that the United States has no business
 interfering in questions which are European, and he will accept no responsibilities where the interests of the United States are not affected This is the diplomacy which began in the days of George Washington and If MT. McAdOo is unfortunate enough to get the opportunity of running on platform which breaches the contrary to this the next Repub- lican plurality will only be limited by the census figures.
 The United States has not gained the con- tempt and distrust of all the world. We came very near getting it when MT, McAdoo's $ father-n-law went to Versailles claiming to represent the spirit and will of America, when he permitted the diplomats of Europe to make Ia farce of his famous fourteen points with their "freedom of the seas and self determi- naton' when he permitted himself to agree 10 anything and everything in order only that he might bring back to America his chimerl- cal league of nations, in which nobody be- lieved but himself and his personal echoes and idolaters.
 But President Harding's diplomacy has re stored the confidence of the world In the judgment and purposes of America. The single big accomplishment of the century so far for peace, is the four-power treaty which has stabilized the Pacific without adding to our responsibilities or compelling us to sign Ia blank mortgage to be filled in later. All of the newspapers of Europe at this very moment are lauding our sense and good judg ment in keeping out of the joke meeting at Genoa and the coming farce comedy at The Hague Every nation in Europe is seeking to gain our good wil-perhaps not msef- ishly, but certainly not because they hold us in contempt
 We can of course listen to Nr. McAdoo sympathetically. He has had lot of political bumps in the past few years and perhaps the worst is yet to come.

FOR SAKE OF INNOCENT

Much of the clamor for immediate indct- ment and trial of men who defrauded the government on contracts during the war en- anates from those whose true motive is the hope of discrediting Attorney General Dau9- herty. s '~~- ~ .~-~ rg ~'s ~e..s'~. .@ A.s7.+
 These men must not forget, however, that the frauds occurred in the Wilson admlnstra- lion and that, as the attorney general nlt!- mates those who think they are about to do the stinging may be among the stung before it ends The most that is being said agamst MT. Daugherty is that he has not been az swift to punish these offenders as some eN- pected him to be. When the real facts become known about who defrauded and who per mitted frauds the Wilson regime will be under scrutiny.
 The Harding administration has been oper- atino only IA months The Wilson regime continued for 30 months after the war closed. Perhaps there was some dilatory policy there too. Of course President Wilson was so busy keeping the heart of the world from breaking that he had no time to devote to domestic business in that period. Between tEe Yer sailles conference and the swift approaching conventions and elections of 1920 war frauds had no chance When blame IS being heaped, critics should be sure where 1t all belongs.
 President Harding's policy is to avoid ac- cusing any innocent person of defraudlnS his own country in time of war. That Is ad- mirable. Let an innocent man be accused and immediately his reputation in private life and in business is blackened and perhaps ruined. So long as evidence is held against guilty persons and they are not permitted to escape reasonable delays for the sake of elim- mating every possibility of injuring an in nocent person are justified. It is grave matter to accuse a man of robbing his country in war time
