REPUBLICAN EFFRONTERY

In a recent speech in Philadelphia, Representative Gillett of Massachusetts, whom the Republic's have chosen for speaker, called President Wilson a dreamer and an idealist. More than that Mr. Gillett said the president “is an egoist; lie is not a man of practical affairs.” And the Republican leader added: “The people do not want a repetition of the indecision, apparent aimlessness and blundering of the past few years in Washington.” The record of the Democratic Darty during the last several years of control will,bear comparison with that set up by the Republicans who held the reins of government unbrokenly from, 18116 to 1912. Mr. Cillett’s party conducted the war with Spain. As wars go, it wasn’t much of a war; about 1% as large an undertaking as our part in the world war, which was conducted with about one hundred

times as much efficiency. It wasn t fought long enough ago for the public to have forgotten the em-balmed-beef scandal, the kind of food the soldiers ate; the plagues that swept them away In the camps until the death rate appalled the country, because of poor sanitation, or no sanitation at all, and a hopelessly Incompetent medical service. Nor has the country forgotten that favoritism ruled over efficiency in the commissioning of officers; that the expeditionary force to Cuba was commanded by a general too fat to walk and who had to be carried about on a litter, and who owed his preferment to his personal friendship for the secretary of war. Compare the record of Shatter in Cuba with a handful of men, with that of Pershing In France with two million, and think of the Impudence of Republicans in mentioning such a thing as “Indecision,” "aimlessness,” or "blundering.”

During successive administrations from 1896 to 1912, Republicans talked of banking reform; the Democrats established the federal reserve system; Republicans talked of farm loans; the Democrats established the farm loan bank system under which farmers have borrowed nearly $200,000,000 at a low rate of interest and on very long terms. The Democratic administration substituted deeds for words. America’s achievements in the past two years astounded her allies and overwhelmed her enemies; they are the brightest page in history—and they were accomplished under the leadership of a man Mr. Gillett •has the effrontery to call a “dreamer” and an “idealist.”

ANONYMOUS FIGHT ON THE LEAGUE

Who is inspiring and financing the circulation of anonymbus letters and circulars against the league of nations? Large quantities of this hostile literature are streaming into homes and shops and offices. It takes the forms of a patriotic appeal to the recipient; it .masquerades as a movement “to preserve American rights and traditions”;

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

It quotas Scripture, history .and Republican orations; It proclaims a • "holy war" against President Wilson and The Democratic party. Why should persons so full of ' lore ot country be so mysterious —or modest? If these patriots are Incurring so much expense to save their native land, why ahouldn’t they have credit for their noble i undertaking? Why remain anonymous when their fellow citizens would welcome knowledge of their identity? The subtle suggestion In fell these letters and pamphlets Is that President Wilson is wrong In advocating and the Republican leaders are right In opposing the league of nations. They are clearly designed as propaganda for Republican votes. Their purpose Indicates their authorship. They are anonymous evidently because It Is regarded as unsafe to Impose on Republican leaders the responsibility for this manner of bushwhacking. If this method of attack on the league should succeed —but there Is no likelihood of that —Republicans would be the gainers. If It falls, they could escape the odlun\ of having resorted to the meanest of all weapons—an anonymous letter.

FROM THE ENEMY’S BOOK

Republican members of the house military affairs committee may be summoned as witnesses to disprove the charges which some of their fellow partisans have been hurling at the war department—ls (hat should become necessary. They have just arrived from France, where they investigated the work of thh American army and the labors of the war department. If they went abroad to criticize they have returned home to praise. "It Is hard to criticize when you consider that they (the war department) were working for an army of 5,000,000 man this year —and that is what they Intended to have and would have had If the fighting had continued," said Representative Anthony of Kansas, ranking Republican on the military affairs committee. Representative Anthony said that he and his Republican associates found that American strategy and operations In the war "worked out exactly as designed," and that the present organization in Franca is in “fine order." Gov. Henry J. Allen of Kansas, who posed some months ago as an authority on strategy, will doubtless be Inclined to quarrel with a fellow Republican from his own state for omitting to sneer and snarl at American achievements which happened also to have been Democratic achievements.

LODGE’S TRIBUTE — NOT TO W. W.

Here is a bit of biography that is of peculiar interest in these days of the attempted dominancy of Messrs. Lodge, Knox, et al.: “When the war drew to a close, it was he who began alone the task of making peace. He had nearly completed the work when his colleagues appeared in Paris, and by incautious words broke the web so carefully spun. * * * Finally, boldly disregarding the instructions of congress, he emerged /from all complications with a triumphant peace-.” Is this a tribute to Woodrow Wilson? Looks like it, doesn’t it? Well, it isn’t! It is a portion of a eulogy delivered by Senator Lodge to the memory of Benjamin Ffanklln for the part that the noble old patriot played in winding up the Revolutionary war. There are those who are so keenly appreciative of humor as to consider this a pretty good, though altogether unconscious, joke played by Senator Lodge upon himself and his fault-finding colleagues.—San Francisco Bulletin. -

AMERICANS PAID LESS

A comparison of pre-war prices with those now prevailing shows that the increase in the cost of living in the United States has- been less than in any other country. A comparison between the prices prevailing in September, 1913, 10 months before the outbreak of the world war, with those of September, 1918, two months before the signing of the armistice, shows that the increase in the United States level of commodity prices was 107%. In Canada, the increase was 115%, and in the United Kingdom, 133%. For France, the comparison was with the prices o.f last May, to which time they had risen 236%. In all countries, the rise was accompanied by an increase in the amount of money in circulation and in the amount of bank deposr its. In the United States, the per capita circulation in 1913 was $34.65. December. 1, 1918, this had Increased 62%, to $56.23. During the same time, bank deposits in America increased almost threefold.

Senator Lodge says he deprecate* the discussion of the league of naItlous as a partisan Issue. He [merely wanted It to be a Republican Issue. “Progreaslvee’’ In the present congress have surrendered everything to Boas Penrose but their i political sobriquet—and he didn’t want that. Republican candidates for congress last fall promised to stand behind the president Rot they were running then.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

The prices still are higher than any thrifty buyer can meet without a sigh; and when 1 make a payment for groceries or raiment, I think I’d like to die. To earn my meager dollars I wilt down many collars, and toll like old Sam Hill; what wonder I’m disgusted If weekends find me busted when I have paid my bill? They say we ought to pickle the dime and groat and nickel, against the rainy day; but when we’ve paid the baker, and squared the undertaker, there’s naught to put away. I sttfnd around doggonlng; my savings bank Is yawning, there are no nickels there; in spite of all endeavor It seems that I will never have fifty cents to spare. When I have paid the grocer the wolf seems that much closer to my cheap cottage door; when I have paid the hatter I feel it wouldn’t matter If I should breathe no more. When I have paid the shoeman, I say, “No being human could stand the stress and 9train”; when I have paid the plumber, his bill, which Is a hummer, gives me an oblong pain. And yet we keep on striving, still hustling, still surviving, and hope to see the day when one may need the sages, and take some from his wages to put in brine away.

DO YOUR PART IN PREVENTING A COAL FAMINE NEXT FALL BY . BUYING YOUR WINTER’S COAL NOW. “Buy your coal now; buy It early,” is the advice given by- Dr. Garfield, National Fuel Administrator. CANNOT MEET FALL ORDERS “Railroads moving ' crops, factories returning to normal conditions and the usual winter demand for coal will swamp the operators if they cannot meet the demand by a large summer production. “Consumers should order their bituminous coal at once, to enable the producers to hire the labor and work their mines full blast.” If it can be hauled from the car to your bin there will be the saving of an extra handling for which you pay If you wait until later. — J.
