REED AND MADOO

Senator Reed OF Missouri and Viii
. liam G. McAdoo have gone into the
mud-slinging business on an extensive
scale. They are calling each other all
the things they can think OF and both
seem to be fairly capable thinkers.
McAdoo, in his attacks against Reed.
shows the same lack of appreciation OF
the dignity OF the presidential office he
has always revealed. He reiterates that
there was nothing out OF the way in his
acceptance OF money from Doheny which
only proves that McAdoo is a man who
cannot or will not understand that a
Presidential candidate cannot do the
things that man may do who is not a
candidate. The question OF mere legal
Ity does not enter into such a matter.
he American voter likes his presidential
candidate without suspicion of any kind
upon him and any man who cannot un-
derstand that fact is not lit 10 be cam
didate. And McAdoo has proved again
and again that he is not a lit person to
be a presidential candidate.
In his attacks on Reed McAdoo falls
into the cheap mistake of accusing Reed
OF failing to endorse Woodrow Wilson
IN all things done by Wilson. Reed
certainly did fail to endorse all things
done by Wilson. but what of that: What
obligation is there upon any man in
America to accept his political gospel
from Wilson or from Disciple McAdoo ?
IT there IS any argument qualified to
raise the dander' OF any red-blooded
American it is the insinuation that he has
no right to think for himself and that ii
he does not take his political creed ready
made from the hand OF some self-or-
dained political high priest he has for
fcited his citizenship.
A fine lot of Americans that doctrine
would produce.
During the last few years the average
American has been sleeping profoundly
on his privileges. He has been indif-
ferent when his most precious rights are
taken away from him, while the federal
power becomes more and more oppres-
sive and intrusive. That is bad enough,
but 1t would be worse if the average
American was to accept any such crawl
ing unmanly attitude as that advocated
by McAdoo.
When Americans admit that they must
draw their political milk from any GER
tam bottle or even allow anybody to tell
them they are expected to do so. the
spirit that has made America great will
have gone from among American men.

ARE WE IN OR OUT?

Referring to the League of Nations
an irreprcssible advocate of involvement
puts into editorial type this unseasonal
question: "Arc we in or are we OUT"
II one has the tolerance to read a bit

damental causes OF disagreement among
men. For this advocate Of involvement,
this American newspaper, interprets to
suit its wishes the various activities Of
americans who are engaged in work
identified with the League.
Are we in or are we out?" The con-
clusion, ostensibly drawn from an ex-
hibit OF Americans services to the
League. is that we're partly in--and that
we're going TO wake up some Zine
morning and find ourselves wholly in.

A HAPPY HUNTING GROUND

The newspapers today carry as uSua
their account OF the visits OF European
to the United States. One day it is /;

LECTURERS. sculDtors, travellers. statesmen

the country. talking about themselves
and what they have done and 90 home
and write books about the United States
which they sell here. The Spaniards
have not been backward about this eth
er. They have travelled and lccturcd and
written books. The Irish have appealed
for understanding. assistance and funds.
This development is not surprising as
the United States was the one country
less affected than any other by the war.
While the currency OF European ma
tons has gidcd down TO the vanishing
point. the good American dollar still
buys about hall as much as it did be
fore the war. These dollars. which run
about freely in the United States. are
easier tC come upon here than anywhere
else. Nc wonder the people from every

1t has been a great benefit to this
country. splendid education in giving
and a liberal one in acquiring an in

help also in toning down some of the
more offensive phases OF nationalism that
have sprung up in this country as in
other countries since the war. But best
OF all. it has developed sharp sense Of
values. Where before foreign art. lit
erature. music and whatnot was received
with 4 sort OF adulation and with marked
consideration because it was foreign. and
foreign causes were lavishly supported
much on account of their dramatic and
spectacular appeal. all of these matters
will ultimately be considered from 4
basis OF intrinsic worth.
This happy hunting ground can re
main a happy hunting ground in the
future only SO long as those who hunt
can give in value and proportion for the
dollars they are here to hunt
