Twenty months ago. when the Re

afflicted with creeping paralysis,
business was laboring under a de-

serious injury on the public, tax
burdens were crushing down a

Don't Strap Horses in Md-shean1
CFrOm the National Republican

It was Abraham Lincoln, the first
Republican President. who put into
a memorable phrase the thought that
II is unwise to change an admins
tration in the midst OF its allotted
task, when he said: Don't swap
horses in the middle of a stream"
This expression aptly describes
the present national political situa-
ton. The Harding administration
was given the biggest task that has
fallen to the lot OF any administra-
ton since that OF Lincoln. when the
people turned over to 1t the work
Of national rehabilitation and recon
struction twenty months ago.
President Harding and his asso-
ciates that are not halfway across
the stream. The halfway point will
not be reached until March Attn,
1923, by which time the present
Congress will have completed Its
work. The progress made in get
ting things back to normal may not
have been rapid enough TO satisfy
some people. but hardly anyone will
deny that It has been in the right
direction. We are on the road TO
old time national prosperity and
progress along sound, constructive
lines.
It Is the very political leadership
that brought upon the country the
debts and difficulties with which this
administration has been contending,
that Is now asking the reputation
Of the Harding administration
through the election of a Demo-
cratic Congress.
Under the preceding Democratic
administration there was an orgy OF
extravaganza and n riot OF waste far
surprising anything the American
people had ever even dreamed Of.
Wilson administration leadership
put on the daDce-it has been up to
leadership to pay the
high bill OF the fiddler. In fact the
American people will be paying the
Wilson waste bill for generation
TO come.
II the Harding administration had (
done nothing but drag the country |
back from the edge of the maelstrom /
Of European internationalism to
which the nation had been pushed .
under Wilson, 1t would have gained |
FOR itself an imperishable claim
upon the gratitude of the American
people. No one longer fears that the
rights, interests and ideals OF Ameri-
"a will be sacrificed to any super
state dominated by aliens, and ruled
rom a European capital, by which
American blood and treasure would
be poured out in wars with the
causes OF which the American
people have no real concern.

OF the Wilson administration. the
Harding administration has provided
a constructive substitute In an inter
national disarmament conference
which for the first time brought
great powers into agreement for the
reduction OF their lighting forces. [
While success has been achieved on
this side Of the Atlantic in such a
conference, the utter impotency OF
the League OF Nations as a war pre-
tentative has been demonstrated. A
dozen wars. big and little, have been
waged contrary TO the clear provis-
ions OF the league covenant. Parties
to the Versailles treaty and leagus
covenant have broken faith with one
another and with the world by con A..
nivapce IN their own selfish interests
which has eventuated in armed con-
hict. Today Eastern Europe is rigl< !

World war began, with no one sure ,
that all Europe may not again be
plunged into. conflict.
Time has served to vindlcate the
Senate and OF the Harding admins
tration in the refusal 10 eign the
Versailles realty. II is generally
agreed that this pact was one Of the
most vicious that ever terminated a
war. America has concluded peace
with the central powers without
Identifying herself with a treaty
which vlolater every one OF the Will
son fourteen points, and every die
tate OF judgment and Justice.
The proof OF the virtue OF an ad-
ministration's economic program IS
the effect upon national prosperity.
No one denies that we are in the
midst Of an era OF Industrial revival.
Business IS getting better. The hugo
army OF the unemployed idle at the
beginning OF tho Harding admins
tration, has been mustered out. Men
are no longer hunting jobs go much
as Jobs are hunting men. Agricul-
tural conditions are gradually grow
Ing better. The people OF this couD-
try do not intend to abandon the
policies under which prosperity is
being restored, in favor Of policies
under which prosperity was de-
stroyed.
On Tuesday OF next week The
American people will give a vote Of
