she had left behind.

Miss Ducky.

PLEDGES vXREDREMED

When James NJ. Cox, Demo
cratic presidential candidate in
1920, today calls upon the Hard
ing administration to answer for
the pledges made by its leaders
two years ago for international
association to stabilize the world
and prevent war, he is giving
voice to not alone what is in the
minds of Democrats, but also to
what is showing itself increasing
ly in the thought Of Republi-
cans.
He is speaking for all Amer
icians who look upon pledge as
pledge. and who are dissatis-
fed with seeing this great nation
floating aimlessly in the sea OF
international responsibility when
there is so much that ought to
be done in the cause of civiliza-
ton. The pledge of the Republi-
can leaders in 1920 was that the
election Of Mr.. Harding would
mean either that this country
would enter the League of Ma
tons or that steps would be
taken To form new association.
After two years of the present ad-
minlstration, however. nothing
has been done in the direction OF
redeeming that pledge.
II party prejudice has such a
hold upon the administration that
IT cannot bring itself tosadoption
of the peace policies of Demo
cratic president. then let it look
to the preaching of eminent Re,
publicanS for decades. President
Roosevelt was for the formation
ot an international association.
President Taft was one of the
most notable leaders for it. Elihu
Root was for it, Charles Evans
Hughes was for it.. Republican,
platforms i'll the past two presi-
dental campaigns were for it. In
the 1920 campaign 81 leading Re
publicans, including Mr Hughes
and Mr. Root. issued a statement
declaring that the quickest way
TO get the United States into the
League was to elect MIR. Harding
The latter, however, pledged
