Young men marched forth from shop and 1 home to stand shoulder with other • men drawn from the four corners ot MB - the world. Family ties were broken, Business 'was disrupted. Social life was put aside ‘and humanity gave itself over to one common business — , that of defeating tjiat monster which everyone knew as Militarism. Certain fixed promises were made to the boys of America when they lift on this momentous journey across the mine-infested Atlantic o that the sacrifices they were likely Jo make, would not go by unrecorded. The nation, with one accord, pledged itself to see to it that after

I the reeking cannons should be hush- < ed and the fragments of humanity J 1 collected and laid in their last rest- ' ing place, a universal movement would be launched having for its purpose the unity of civilized powers agjiinst any aggressive monster notion. Perpetual peace was the object sought after. The two million heroic young men from America were given the pledge that In some way the United States would take the lead against future wars. War stopped. The scattered elements of government everywhere gradually were brought together. Men sat in common counsel at Paris and framed a pact that provided a way of keeping faith with the dead. But the Republican national platform at Chicago ignored this pact. It re.fused to commit Itself to using -its Influence in the direction of keeping the nation's word. Even Senator Lodge, whose malicious enmity and jealousy led to the temporary slaughter of the League of Nations so far as America is concerned, repudiated his personal position. The party platform denied to the’members of the party the most essential thing that was befora the country. And out- from the poppy-covered fields of France at this very moment where 50,000 young Americans are buried beneath tile simple mounds which mark their graves, there seems to rise that stern and incontestable warning to America, embraced Isl the magnificent words of Lieut. Col. John D. McCrae, who was killed a short time after he had written the poem. “If ye break faith with us who die we shall not sleep, though poppies Blowin Flanders’ Field.” It is up to America to redeem the pledge. No plank such as the senate leaders agreed to and rushed through the Chicago convention can meet the country’s obligation. The war' lords

"They say i that even if they, the progressive! leaders, swallow’ the nomination 1 they will not be able to persuade iheir followers, the progressive voters, to swallow it. One of the ablest of the old progressive leaders says that Harding can not carry a state west‘of the Mississippi.” Although the move is on. the republican papers of the country are having a hard time in trying to popu-. larize Hardin, the senator's nominee for president. Outside.of Ohio l»e is not known and the best that aan be said of him is that, when a boy he played in the band. & a printer and can make-up a paper and is willing to do whatever th* senatorial cabal orders him to do. He is an excellent “rubber stamp” and from viiat has bee* said about him, there seems to be more <?f a demand for him as a printer than for president of the (.’fitted States. , of a small new-paper was called on several ‘times to publish the net-paid circulation of his paper and after figuring up the totals replied, that the combined circulation of the Saturday Evening Post and his paper totaled over two milli.w, which answei evidently satisfied the advertiser.
