tended, would only be a confession OF
weakness and diversion Of the pub
lies attention from the main things
Mr.. Harding has to say.
The moment Secretary Hoover made
his Les Moines speech, Senator Borah
was ready with an answering state
ment. Senator Hiram Johnson is due
back from Europe on june z and he
will have some more things to say
about the world court. Senator
James Watson of Indiana, Republican,
Is known to have been somewhat dis
appointed that the President picked
Harry s. New to be postmaster gen.
eral; disappointed because he was on
the opposite side of the fence in Indi-
ana politics and it looked, therefore,
like wallop at Watson. Others who
may not care much about the world
court itself are bound to use the dis
cussion as something to pick on poll
tically. That's why the administration
is being urged to let the matter drop
after Secretary Hughes has his way
and do no more about it till the Senate
meets in December when enough votes
can be mustered to dispose of the is
sue.

This is all predicated on the as
sumption that the ostepsible oppon-
ents for the court will let the contro-
versy subside. II they do not the
administration will find the true
character of the opposition to be poll
teal and some of the friends of the
administration say it will be the east
est way to demonstrate why American
membership in. the court is really be-
ing fought.
Membership in the world court is
not an urgent matter. No question can
be submitted to the court unless the
two or more interested nations all
give their consent. Any nation wheth-
er a member of the court or not can
submit the question. The only thing
the President has asked is that Amer
lea assume responsibility. for payment
of the expenses of the court, a rela-
lively trivial sum, and that the United
States take her part in electing judges.
But judges have been elected without
American aid and the real elections
take place once every nine years 90
there is nothing urgent in the whole
business. Then why all the fuss now,
seven months before anything could
be possibly done about it By the SEN
ate? 1t isn't customary for members
Of Congress to argue about things 90
far in advance. The real reason is the
political rumpus in the Republican
party which is going on in an effort
to wear out the Presidents determine
ton about 1924. Most Of the politi-
clans admit this to be fact and that's
why the moves of the game is the
next few months will bear watching
from that angle.

cred it beneath their standard to hold an Of

to give up their time, which in great many
instances, was leisure time. Nor did they want
to serve at the remuneration the city could
pay, but they generally had friend who had

Find 8 Jugs Of Liquor.

Neighbors and Jailer Wright came
upon eight jugs of whiskey on the
Sinner road near the bridge on the
Brachas place. On reaching the
bridge they came on q car standing
there and stopped to see what was the
matter. Upon investigation they
found nothing but an old wagon sheet
on the back seat but detected the
odor Of liquor. A search revealed
eight jugs not far from the car. The
owner of the car disclaimed all knowl-
edge Of the liquor. However, he was
taken into custody but released later
on q $500 bond.

These reformers continually used their ar
gument, as above stated, and created prejudice
against the occupants of the office, or against
the man that ran for the office. They created
prejudice because he was an Irishman and be-
longed to the Catholic Church, and what was
the consequence? Boston has for many years
an Irishman and Catholic for Mayor. The
Irish vote in Boston is large, but not over
whelmingly So but the people, the citizens, the
voters Of Boston,, got tired of this continual
propaganda for prejudice, and so it came about
that the one-time Republican City of Boston
is now an overwhelmingly Democratic city.

This Country is country strictly of poll
tics. Everything we do in public life must be
of and is politics The building of streets, the
erection of municipal buildings, the conduct
ing of our public schools, which some people
thought should be taken out of politics. is
politics, more now than ever.
This is Country governed by the people
and consequently everything that the people
are interested in, is politics; and I am going
little further: politics must be conducted by
people who make it their business, the pro-
fessional and practical politicians.
In old Athens they trained these politicians
In fact all citizens of Athens were trained as
politicians, so that they could become efficient
office-holders for the good of their govern

A great many people have been talking
against politicians, the professional and prac-
teal politicians; that is very poor policy. You
should acknowledge the professional and prac-
teal politician. 1t should be an honor to be-
long to that profession, as it was in the early
times of this Country. The reason they became
in disrepute is partly, of course, on account
of their own fault, but more so because they
were continually abused, so that the profess
sional and practical politician was not looked
upon as man of honor; to that extent at
least, because he was professional and prac-
teal politician.

George Washington was not, because it was

Thomas Jefferson was Abraham Lincoln was,

On account of professional politicians being
continually abused because they were pro-
fessional and practical politicians and because
abusing themselves among themselves, the pro-
fession became in disrepute. But we cannot
do without professional and practical poiti-
clans, and every time reformers want to change
the occupants of the different offices, and who
are elected by the vote of the people, their
argument always is that it is the professional
and practical politicians who hold the office,
that they want to get them out of office, be-
cause they are professional and practical poll
ticians and are making living by it.
That these professional and practical poll
ticians have an organization and followers is
quite natural and right, r(Dtherwise they
could not make success of their office
Seth Lowe, one of the greatest intellectuals
that America had, one of the finest men that
this Country ever had; one of the most unself-
ish men that this Country had, was elected
Mayor of New York on the platform against
the professional and practical politician. Yet
with Seth loves best intentions, with Seth
loves great education and great and good
character, his term of office as Mayor of New
York was not success. He was supported
and was elected by the so-called ntelectuals,
by the upper four hundred who spent great
deal of money to elect Seth Lowe without the
knowledge of Seth Lowe. And when he was

good, an excellent man. And there is no
doubt he would have been elected, for even
those that voted against him loved and admired
him, but because of this damnable propaganda
for prejudice, which 1 am sorry to say infu-
ences even good men, he was defeated

There lived in one of the largest cities of
the Middle West an elderly gentleman. l am
personally acquainted with him. He is an
exceptionally good man, Natures own noble
man. He made great success in his business,
accumulated great wealth. He became
philanthropist, spent great deal of money
for the good of the people, and when his wife
died, which was a few years ago, he built in
memory of her and endowed hospital for the
infants. And understand that it is one of
the finest, and model that has been copied,
because he gave it his personal attention; and
as he told me- he has almost spent half of his
fortune on such deeds as these. He is be-
loved and respected universally by all his fell
low citizens. His friends and admirers, es-
pecially the Gentiles, wanted to honor him, and
they asked him to allow his name to go before
the voters for Mayor of their city. This elder
ly gentleman had no political aspirations and
he told the committee that called on him that
they could not elect him because he was Jew,
but they insisted upon it and he accepted the
nomination. When the election came on he
was defeated by small margin, and the oppo-
sition to him was that no Jew must be elected
for office. Just think what propaganda for
