Breach in Republican Ranks
Is Reported to Be Grow
ing Wider,
WOOD IS IN SPOTLIGHT
Harry New Expected to Line
Up With Administration
PoIiCy-ReCaII Silence.

Instead of healing, as party
leaders had hoped, the breach in
the Republican ranks in Indiana
was widening today,
Added to the party's other
troubles, a division over Presi-
dent Harding's world court pro-
posal was causing factions to
drift farther apart.
One faction, the Harry New section
Of the party, is standing by the Pres
ident," although it IS not as active
in its support as the James E. Wat
son faction IS in it's opposition.
According to dispatches from Wash
ingtOn, definite split between Sena-
tor Watson and the President is i'm
minent as a result of the squabble
over the court. This despite the fact
Watson has been the Presidents
spokesman in the Senate.
Wood Voices Objection.
Watson has aligned himself with
Representative VIII r. Wood of the
Tenth Indiana district, who, Friday.
called upon Harding and voiced his
objection and what he termed the OBJ
lection Of the people Of Indiana to the
participation of the United Sites in a
world court. Watson and Wood are
close political friends, but Wood Is the
more outspoken Of the two.
Indiana Republicans are recalling
the fact Wood led the opposition
against the appointment of New to
| the Cabinet. 1t was understood that
| Watson and Wood were working in
| perfect harmony with Lawrence I1y-
| ons, Republican State chairman, and
other members of the controlling fac
ton in opposing New.
Party Paper Opposes Harding
Added to other difficulties George
3. Lockwood, formerly of Muncie and
| Marion, and now editor of the Ma
tional Republican, has come out
| against the court plan
Reports from Washington indicate
Watson is building up a nationwide
attack on the Presidents proposal In
this connection local Republicans are
recalling the fact Watson has been
frequently mentioned as a candidate
for the nomination for the presidency.
The possibility that the issue will be
carried to the national convention,
| unless it is settled before that time,
was cited.
New Follows Presideh
New on his recent visit to indian.
apolis was silent on the court plan, but
his friends say he will follow the lead
of the President.
It was recalled that at the last
meeting of the Republican State Edi-
torial Association here both Watson
and Lockwood spoke vigorously In op-
position to participation in interna,
tional affairs.
Watson was to have come to In
diana this week but he has postponed
his visit to early in May. He has aSs
ranged to make number of speeches
during his visit and it is expected
he will express his attitude on the
world court proposal.

But the war was supported by men
Of all parties and therefore provoked
no political controversy. The minor.
ity which opposed it was negligible
and challenged no parliamentary dis
cussion on the question. The treaty
of peace was on the whole accepted
by all parties when first submitted
to parliament. The leaders OF the
opposition parties in the Lords and
Commons at the time of its presenta-
ton offered no serious criticism OF it's
provisions. Legislation proposed by
the oalition-although In ordinary
seasons much of it would have
aroused angry notwithstanding as it
did after the war had exhausted emo

feeble murmur of protest.

government in India, and notably tie

proposed by Gladstone. Any one of
these measures proposed before the
war would have led to heated discus

The case Of Ireland is. perhaps,
most significant Of the changed tenn

most violent amongst its opponents.

l FTER the war of 1912 prices
were high in the United


A FTER the war of 1912 prices
IN were high in the United
4 States, and living was very
expensive. Business was bad.
Among the many families who
suffered reverses was Philadel-
phia Quaker family by the name
of Mott.
Mrs. Mott was not the type Of
woman to sit by and watch her
husband struggling to make both
ends meet and to see her family
suffer on this account.
She had a splendid education.
So she decided to do what she
could to lessen the heavy burden
under which her husband was
struggling.
This energetic young woman
had no trouble in finding g. posi-
ton as a school teacher. She
taught her young pupils with low
ing enthusiasm until the time
came when her husband was once
more bringing in a comfortable
income.
1t was then that Lucretla Mott
took up the study of theology.
So successful was she in this
calling that at the age of twenty
I'VE she was enrolled as an or
GAINED preacher of the Society of
Friends.
This gave her a great oppor-
tunlty to plead for the cause of
antl-slaVery, in which she was
vitality interested. She went up
and down the country preaching
a iV1S .
power to stir up resentment and
definite action against this IN.
civilized institution.
Lucretia Motifs whole code of
feeling and her unselfish effort
were completely expressed when
she said:
THE millions Of downtrodden
slaves in our land being the
greatest sufferers, the most OBJ
pressed class, I felt bound to
plead their cause in season and
out of season, to endeaVor to nut
myself in their souls stead and to
aid all in my power in every
right effort for their immediate
emancipation"
And this Lucretia Mott did to
the fullest. She preached against
slavery while missiles were
hurled through the windows. She
sat calmly in her house when a
mob threatened to. burn it down,
and were diverted from this bar
barous act by a young man who
Intentionally turned them into an
other street
Luchetia Mott was literally wor-
SHIPPED by the colored people.
They called her the Black Mans
Goddess of Liberty
