RE-STACINC
1920 CAMPAIGN


The outcome of the fight Senator
Reed, Democrat, of Missouri, is
making for denomination and cleo
ton is of interest to the entire
country for the reason that it turns
almost entirely on national issues.
1t has, of course, a fractional as
pect in that Reed, who is too much
Of fighter not to have built up a
strong personal organization, is OPP
posed with unprecedented bitterness
by the old Wilson crowd. But this
factionism is the direct result not
of any state issues but Of Reeds
attitude in the seate toward the
League of Nations and other Wilson
policies.
There was time when Mr.. Will
son counted on Reed as "deserv-
ing Democrat" He would be writ
ing letters describing him as that
today if Reed had not both spoken
and voted against one Wilson meas
ure after another in the senate.
And the reports of Reeds stump
ing tour indicated that he believes
wisconsin is just as unpopular now
as it was when the nation rolled up
a 100000 majority against it in
the last presidential election.
The Missourian is employing all
his vituperative eloquence in slash
ing attacks upon not only Wilson
policies but Mr.. Wilson himself.
He is too shrewd not to see the
chance of winning many thousands
of votes by denouncing the former
presidents autocratic spirit and
methods and pointing out that he
is in a sense even yet attempting
to dictate to Missouri Democrats
by his demand that they defeat
Reed and send a former Wilson
officeholder to Washington in his
place.

A PERSONAL
DEFEAT

The indicated defeat for re-
nomination Of Senator Porter ].
McCumber in North Dakota by
former Gov. Lynn ]. Frazier is
being distorted into presenting a
significance of a verdict on the
Harding administration that it in
no way possesses.
It was purely and solely a per-
sonal contest. McCumber, accept
ing non-partisan league support
last time, and irritated the regular
Republicans to whom the league is
bolshevist. Not coming out boldly
for either he fell between two
stools. His successful opponent,
Frazier, has been a league leader
with a great personal following
Nc umber failed to get enough
anti-league votes in the towns to
overcome the country league votes
for the ex-governor. There was nc
other issue.
The election on another non
partisan league senator to sit with
Senator Ladd is really the natural
outcome of the North Dakota local
situation. The league fights inside
the Republican primaries which il
as far as the Republican indications

WHERE BEvERIDcE
STANDS

Former Senator Beveridge's de-
feat of Senator New for the Re
publican senatorial nomination In
Indiana was generally recognized
as an expression of the strength Of
the progressive sentiment in the
Republican party. Many Demo-
cratic papers tried to give it an
other meaning rebuke from In
diana voters to the Harding adj
ministration. Under the circum-
stances it is interesting to be told
Mr.. Beveridge's own opinion about
it. 1t is an opinion which differs
decidedly from that Of the Demo
cratic editors.
First of all, the senator-to-be
drops hints to aspiring politicians
which many will turn away from
sadly. 1t is to the effect that one
of the biggest factors in his political
comeback was his biography Of
John Marshall. It made him
friends, he says, by tens of thou
sands. But how many candidates
for the senate have the ability to
write a scholarly a life as Bey-
eridge's of Americas greatest chief
justice? Most of them will have ia
be content at trying their hands
on a scenario, if authorship is to
begin playing a part in national
politics.
AS for the progressive aspect OF
his victory, Mr.. Beveridge comedies
that the progressives also contri'
buted greatly. But Mr.. Beverage
in an interview given to a New
York woman reporter, says nothing
could be farther from the truth thar
the assertion that the Indiana pro.
gressives are against Mr.. Harding
or that News defeat was a slap al
the Harding administration. Mr.
Beveridge in fact declares himself
one Of the Presidents most earnest
and conscientious supporters.

In a recent letter written for
publication, President Harding said
eve ask no favors, but we do be-
lieve in American genius and capaci-
ty under equal opportunity"
That is good Republican doctrine.
1t may we'll be lifted out Of the
ship subsidy connection in which
Mr.. Harding used it and applied
to the tariff policy. Staunch Re-
publicans of the old school used to
make use of such phrases to justify
the temporary imposition of high
tariff duties. "We must protect
our infant industries" said they.
"But when the tariff has served its
purpose and our industries are able
to make their way, then we ask no
favors, but we do believe in Ameri-
can genius and capacity under
equal opportunity"
Because of his pride in party
traditions, President Harding should
be gratified to have called to his
attention the fact that he has
phrased happily one of the primary
doctrines of Republicanism.

Mr.. TAFT
ABROAD

England, which is now entertain
ing Chief Justice William H. Taft,
will find our former president a
most pleasant guest. A noteworthy
array of the most distinguished men
in the kingdom attended the dinner
given by the Pilgram's Society in
his honor and heard him discuss
governmental affairs with that rare
combination of wisdom and good
humor which never fails to win his
audiences, no matter what their
nationality. The man who can smile
as jovially as Mr.. Taft always
smiles when he thinks of the over
whelming defeat he suffered at the
polls in 1912 has something to
teach to all Of us.
He was the butt of several of his
own jokes in his London speech.
One concerned his avoirdupois and
the other reminded his hearers that
he retired from the presidency
with the full and unmistakable CO.
sent Of the people of the United
States" The majority against him
in 1912 was unmistakable indeed,
but no more unmistakable than the
high honor in which he is now held
by the same public that then gave
him his dismissal. England knows
this to be the case; hence the
elaborate honors which are to be
shown him during his stay in that
country, whose courts and law pro.
cedure he wishes to study.

THE PARADE

not be laid entirely upon humanity.
Miss Coates must have been at
fault and selfish herself, for even
in a workhouse some friendships
can be made by the inmate who
smiles and takes interest in those
about her.
Friendship is a fragile plant. 1t
thriyes on smiles and tears, but dies
quickly if neglected. In every town
we find people who have many
friends, who are what the COM
munity calls popular. II you ana
lyze their popularity, you Will ma
that they take an interest in their
neighbors, that the visit the house
of mourning and rejoice with those
that are glad.
We the people in Winnemucca
who take no part whatever In
welfare work; they are members OF
fraternity and pay their dues, but
they never attend the lodge; they
have automobiles but they never
ask the family that does not own
a machine to take a ride. They live
selfishly unto themselves and like
Sarah Coates, treasure some trinket
! that some unselfish person gave
them.
No humanity cannot bear all the
blame for these lonely, neglected
lives. You must make some effort
at being friendly yourself If you
would have friends about you. Don't
sit in the shadow and envy the
popular man or woman. Get out
and make folks notice you. Smile
and speak to other people. They
will respond and soon you will find
the light of friendship glowing IN
the dark corners Of your bitterness
and dispelling the shadows Of envy.
This is a wonderful old world If
you will only look up and not down
if you will chase away that frown
with smile. There is so much to
do, so many to help, that it is a
crime to gloat over a picture post
card and bury it when you feel the
chill of death. Was Sarah Coates
afraid someone might enjoy her
postcard when she was gone?

many has just paid one of the
regular monthly installments of
100000 gold marks for repara-
tions. As compared to the grand
total Of the costs of war, this sum
about $12,000,000-is little indeed;
but as a reminder Of dismal days in
the past it is of the utmost signifi-
canoe to all the civilized nations in
the world.
This installment is only a tiny
fraction of what it will cost to re-
claim European farms and towns
and cities from the ravages Of the
war. To restore all Europe to the
flourishing condition in which she
was before 1914 will require this
sum, many, many, times over again.
And even if the devasted property
could be restored, there was done
an infinite amount Of damage which
no amount Of PREPARATIONS money
can make good.
But as an object lesson on the
futility and cost of war this $12,
100000 payment becomes the more
dismally Illuminating when it is
compared to the sum which these
same nations involved in the last
war will pay out for preparations
for war within the next decade.
Though we multiplied it by ever SO
much this monthly reparations sum
will not begin to equal that larger
sum which goes to make up the cost
Of war even in times of peace.

ment Of gold marks may decrease

while it may enable the French and

the burden that would be lifted of
Europe if these people would ap.
ply themselves as diligently to worl

necessary as they apply themselves
now to the work Of restoring theil

This work of restoring Europe i,
necessary and must go forward
even in the face of the fact that nc
one can be sure how permanent thi.
restoration is to be; even though the
ruins on which we build may still
be smouldering from the last war
we must rebuild. But what infinite
relief and joy it would be to al
the nations Of the world if there
should come some day in the neal

telling US that these still warning
