There was a day when America sat
In the councils of the nations, oc-
cupying at their table the seat Of
honor and Of dignity that was her
right. There was q day when she
made covenants and engagements in
her own name and was not content
to be merely the beneficiary Of the
EFFORT and good will of others. Today
apparently she has no other program
than to encourage American citizens
and resources to assist in restoring
Europe with the sympathetic sup

been paid to an architect who de-
signed a building SO poor that 1t was
never built. We may be pardoned for
asking whether 1t was common sense
to sell at 20 cents on the dollar more
than 81. 600 sheets for which wounded
men were waiting, while at the very

What is the answer when we talk
Of these things? 1t consists in the
first place Of bemoaning the fact that
such unpleasant topics should be
forced on polite ears. Why not forget
about them? Why not say as little
about them as possible? Why not
pretend that they were simple in
discretions, which should be over
looked when there is sign OF repent
ance? Those who speak in this fash
ion assume a degree of indifference
or a lack Of interest on the part of
the people, which would be itself a
reflection upon popular government.
If it be true that public interest in
these things has waned, is 1t not a
public duty to see that 1T is revived
before the day of judgment comes:
Then we are told with some COM
placcncy that there is no further
need for public concern because those
under suspicion have been indicted
and there is nothing left to do but
wait for the day, still far in the
future, when they will be tried. We

he gave utterance and the ideals he
proclaimed will live long after those
| who opposed them have passed and
been forgotten.
Demands G. O. r. Reply.
I'VE stand at the threshold Of an
other presidential campaign and the
American people are called on once
more to decide whether they will
leave their destinies in charge of
those who are now in power or give
them over into other hands. Do they
/ want a change or do they not? That
Is the question upon which all popu-
lar elections turn. Under a parlia-
mentaryship like that which obtain
in Great Britain or France, the gov
ernment of the day puts to the House
of Commons or the Chamber of Depu-
| ties the question Of confidence or no
confidence We. do the same thing
except that with us the question Is
put to the. people as a whole.
Republicans must not be panied
or surprised therefore If we ask them
| to give account of what they have
done or left undone. They must not
| blame us If we jog the public men,
ory concerning things that might
otherwise be forgotten.
ITO all such complaints we can
but reply in the language of the
scriptures, Beware ye of the leaven
| of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy
| But there Is nothing covered up that
| shall not be revealed. nothing hid
| that shall not become known. There
| fore whatever ye have spoken In
| darkness shall be heard in the light
and that which ye have spoken in
| the ear in closets shall be proclaimed
| upon the housetops.'
Contrasts Found Striking.
when we paint against the vivid
background of the eight years under
| Wilson the history that has been un-
rolled since March 4, 1921, there are,
| to say the least, some startling con-
| trasts. In 1918 the lobby was scourged
| from Washington; in 1921, like a
| flock of unclean birds Fastening to
| the feast, it gathered from the four
| winds and descended upon the city.
The Little Green House on X street
| was set up for sinister purposes but
partly disclosed. Its occupants and
their friends soon proved that they
! lacked neither zeal nor appetite.
"F'irSt of all came oil. At the head
| of the buccaneers as they marched
along, rode the Secretary of the In
terror. Within ninety days after he
took Office the naval oil reserves had
been transferred to his gentle guar
| dianship and the dealing began. The
policy of conservation, for which
Presidents Roosevelt and Wilson had
| fought so valiantly, was thrown to
| the winds and within less than twelve
| months. in secret and without public
| warning of any sort, all the oil re-
serves upon which the Navy depended
passed into private hands. Thus of

Party Held Responsible.
TN SO far as the property Of the
government and the resources Of the
nation have been bartered away, we
are told with equal assurance that
an effort will be made to recover
them by suit. But where is the re.
our undisputed title to our naval oil
reserves has been exchanged for
contested lawsuit to recover them?
The policy involved in this transfer
and the acts themselves. as we know
by his own declaration, had the ex-
press sanction OF the then President
Of the United States. Is his party
not to be held politically responsible
to the American people for their
loss?
I'VE Democrats are making and
will make no campaign Of person
alities nor shall I speak with disre-
spect of any occupant Of the prexi-
Dental chair, whether living or dead.
I am glad to believe that that high
office has never been unworthily held.
We have, however, the Presidents
own authority for the statement that
the only practical way to secure re-
sponsible political action is by the
formation Of parties We agree and
assert further that the only way to
secure good government is to hold
political parties responsible. ] think
I detect in some quarters q hope that
without change OF name or much Of
personnel a reorganization Of a Ger
tain political concern can be effected,
taking over any discoverable assets
and repudiating all unpleasant liza
bilities. My experience as a lawyer
has taught me that creditors are
rarely satisfied with this convenient
method of cancelinE their claims.
The American people can hardly be
expected to accept it

"The tariff afforded an opening to

In view of the bitter struggle that

not something grotesque in picturing

1 per cent Of the value of our domes-
tic production. This was an ava
lanche. however, not to be tamely
borne. and a duty of 33h per cent
was imposed to check it. OF alum
mum kitchen ware, now in such UNI
versal use, we were importing less
than 2 per cent Of the amount which
we consumed. Such an avalanche ac-
cordingly was permanently barred by
taxing the domestic consumer three
times the existing rate. In rubber
footwear our imports were too small
to be worth reporting. but the duty
nevertheless was raised $50 per cent

Mosquito Relief

BY United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-Relief from
the swarm of man eating mosquitoes
which has practically destroyed out
door life in Chicago and it's suburbs
during the, last few weeks cannot be
expected before the first frost, DIR.
Herman Bundesen, city commission
er of health, announced yesterday.
Driven frantic by the blood thirsty
pests. pesidents, particularly in the
outlying districts, have almost
swamped the commissioner office
with requests for advice on how to
deal with the insects and their bits.
DIR. Bundesen has given them no.
thing more than the cheerful infor-
nation that there is little danger
that disease will be spread by mos
quito bites as the swarm which has
made it's appearance apparently is
of dangerous variety.
In the meantime he advised suf-
ferers that the best they can do is
to remain indoors behind screens
and depend on right hand swings to
eliminate such blood suckers as are
particularly vicious.
