in 1921 was threatened from

imports were TOO small to be

ity, party government will be-
come a farce and a failure.
How Parties Differ
They think that when the
present resources have been
sQuandered and bartered away a
lawsuit to recover them 'If ii.
legally acquired" is sufficient
amends. We would rather keep
the public domain than sue for
its recovery.
They outwardly deplore spe-
ciaI privilege, except in the sa-
cred gUise of a protective tariff.
We oppose it in this and every
other form.
They believe that the Fordney-
McCumber act is beyond re-
proach. We say it is an out
rageous imposition on the con-
suming public.
They believe, or profess to be-
lieve, that exhausted Europe
waits to overwhelm us with an
avalanche of merchandise. We
are at a loss to know how Eu-
rope is to pay its debts or buy
our produce if some one does not
take its goods.
They believe, or profess to be.
lieve, that agriculture should be
on economic basis with other in
dustries. They have no plans to
this end, but the appointment of
a committee to investigate, and
advice that the farmer provide
himself with leaders not inter
ested in politics. We think that
the first step to economic equal
ity is to deprive others of their
unjust advantages.
They are content to conduct
the foreign affairs of the United
States through private citizens,
unofficially observing. We think
America is great enough to
speak in her own name.
They propose now, after near
ly four years of absolute mac
ton, to enroll the United States
as a member of the court of in
ternationaI justice. We promise
to do so as soon as power is in
our hands.
G. O. p. House Divided
They present party made up
Of a president facing in one d.
rection. congress in another
and the rank and file scattered
in between. We have a harmo-
NOUS army, officers and prl-
Yates, marching to a common
end.
In view of the record Of the
last three years they pray, not
without reason, for a govern
ment of common sense. we
stand for one of common hon
esty.
What is honesty in govern
ment? Honesty in the handling
of the public funds and the pub
lie property, of course. But II
is something more. 1t is can
dor and fair dealing and impair.
TALLY and the transaction Oh
the public business in the open,
in broad daylight without dis
guise or pretense or evasion. 1t
is the playing of no favorltes,
whether in making public con-
tracts or in writing public laws.
It is the treating Of all classes
and All sections Of the country
on az equal basis. 1t is the
avoidance of secrecy and whis-
pering and sharp practice in the
management of public affairs.
Men love darkness rather than
light only when their deeds are
evil. Whether in Washington or
out of it, we will have no 1nVls-
ible advisers in our party coun.
ellis. no alliance with any OF
those who work in secret Tor Sc

economic difficulties OF Europe
Every man of good will must
hope that the Dawes report
points the way to better days not
only for our neighbors across
the seas but for ourselves at
home. But [ do not understand
upon what theory it can be
claimed as q triumph for an adj
ministration which expressly
and publicly disclaimed in adj
vance all esponsibility, direct or
indirect, for the action of those
concerned; nor can l fail to re-
member the long and dreary
wears since the war during
which the appeal of Europe for
nothing more than our counsel
fell upon deaf ears. What might
we not have done had we but
dared to do, If even the request
made by President Wilson TO
congress in 1919 for the appoint
ment of an official representa-
tive of America on the repara-
ton commission had been COM
piled with, the last five years
would have presented a different
picture and the world would
have been so much nearer to its
goal.
Little Glory i'm Treaties
7 cannot treat as either re
markable or constructive &C
complishments our separate trea-
ties of peace with the Vanquish-
ed and powerless governments
of Germany, Austria and Hun
gary, who upon our demand,
could do nothing else than give
us all the advantages of the
treaties of Versailles, St. Ger
maine and Trianon, with none OF
their duties or responsibilities
Even less of glory would seem
TO attach to the treaty of Laus-
anne, which on Our part we
meekly accepted at the hands Of
Turkey, or to the ratification by
the senate of a treaty negotiated
by Democratic secretary of
state in execution of a lOng-de-
layed act of Justice toward the
Republic of Colombia.
At some time in the future we
are promised covenants for out
having aggressive war by any
practical means" Surely the
maker of this suggestion had
overlooked the fact that under
the secretaryship o. Mr.. Bryan
we negotiated and pat in force
exactly Such covenants with
not less than thirty nations,
making-so far as treaties and
covenants may dO-aSSressive
war between them and or
selves no longer possible.
There is no great merit in Of
fering TO repeat waat already
has been done. But war. when
it comes. does not wait on adj
iectives. and there is no instance
in recorded history when any
civilized nation has admitted
that it was engaged in war for
