CRITICISING EVERYTHING

> The “Man On the Corner” in the last issue of the Tippecanoe County Democrat says some good things •which every fair-minded American citizen who may have been inf fluenced by the mouthings of the ■Lodges, the Borahs and other disturbers in the U. S. Senate will do well to ponder over: President -Wilson will be back in this country in a few days. The ipeace pact and the league of nations will be submited to the senate for ratification and I have always contended Organized Republican opposition ,is fading away—most of the wise' ones are looking for a place to light—a soft place. Just now Republican leaders and spokesmen are resorting, with increased frequency, to a form of political attack which is well defined and characteristic. The method adopted consists chiefly in an attempt to mobilize the forces •of discontent, to stiffen partisan lines, and to exaggerate, beyond all reason, what the enemies of the President are pleased to describe as “the mistakes of the administration.”

This method of campaigning brings a speedy response from the thoughtless, but its weakness consists in Its essential unfairnes and in the excesses of denunciation to which it gives rise. Those who employ this system become its first victims. They lose their sense of perspective and Indulge in violent and unpatriotic attacks upon those who, in a very difficult period, are managing affairs of our country. Much of the Republican oratory is as amazing to the listener as it is discreditable to those who make use of it. I do not know how others may feel about it, but as for myself, I am proud to be an American citizen, I am proud of the army. I am proud of our great navy. I am proud of the heroism of American men and women. I am proud of the role that America has played in the affairs of the world. I am proud of the power of my country and of the manner in which that power has been used; and I am proud of the leadership of President Wilson. ■ A grea deal is being said in partisan quarters to the effect that the administration is responsible for America’s so-called unpreparedness for war. Measured by the standards of great military nations, America was not adequately prepared for war. In that sense, a democracy is not likely to be prepared for war. A peace-loving people, desiring only relations of friendliness with other nations and moved by aspirations higher than those of conquest, is not apt to turn its attention to the creation of great military establishments. America was prepared for peace and for all the processes of peace, and the thoughts of America were turned away from the thoughts of war and exploitation. But let it not be forgoten that modern Ivar is not fought by armaments alone. It is a measuring of the strength of peoples. The struggle is economic and touches every aspect of the national life. The banks, the factories, the I mills, the warehouses and the great farms of America were essential to American success -In this war. When our army went abroad, it whs supported by the financial power and the indastiy of America, by the labor In the factory and the labor upon the farm. When the heal test came, no country was ever better prepared for it than America. America was strong be-

cause it had adequately prepared for teat of its atrength. When the war began it waa the solemn judgment of the military experta of the German empire that we would not be able to create an army inside of two years. They said that even if we were able to secure men, we had no officers to train them. They said that even if we were able to create an army, we would not be able to supply it with arms and ammunition. They said that even if wc could accomplish this feat, we octi Id not transport th': army to Franco because we led no ships aud could not secure them. They said that even if we ob- t talned the ships, the U-boats would destroy them. They said that even if we transported an army to France, it would be unable to support it there with food and clothes and arms and ammunition. And they said that even if some of our soldiers reached the firing line, the trained troops of Germany would destroy them. And yet we raised an army of. four million men and we transported more that two million soldiers across three thousand miles of sea, where, well-officered, wellequipped, and indomitable in spirit, they turned the tide of battle, won' imperishable glory and triumphed , in the greatest war that the world' has ever known. This surpassing achievement 1s the final and overwhelming answer to those who complain of America’s so-called “unpreparedness for war." The gentlemen who are now leading the Republican party, criticizing the President of the United States and warning the people against the policies of Wilson and the league of nations, are the bad

advisers of old, the discredited leaders, the men whose counsel led to trouble, and whose advice had to be discarded before America could make progress. Is this too general an assertion? Let me be a little more particular. Was it not Senator Lodge who proclaimed in the senate that the federal reserve system was foredoomed to failure? Was it not Senator Root who said that the federal reserve system would ruin the financial structure of America? Was it not Senator Penrose who took the same position? And did not all these gentlemen oppose the passage of the shipping bill which was urged by Secretary McAdoo two years before war began? Was it not this same group ,of leaders who are responsible for the opposition to the income tax, [ the farm loan system and the agricultural and labor bills? These are the samo bad advisers, who, , hopeful that America had forgotten , their bad advice, are now tendering their suggestions as to the future. While the Republicans ‘ have charged Wilson with many “mistakes’’ they have failed utterly to substantiate the charges and their party is today in the extraordinary position of having no issue and no really available candidate.

PINCHOT ON G. O. P. BOSSES

If any further evidence were needed as to the predilections and affiliations of the “bosses” in the Republican party than is supplied by their own records, Gifford Pinchot, progressive Republican and close friend of the late President Roosevelt, supplies it. In a recent speech before the Republican Presidential club at Cambridge, Mass., Pinchot said of. the G. O. P. leaders: “The reactionaries are enemies of the people, for they are owned and controlled by the Special interests which keep the cost of living high and continually drive it higher. Crane, Harding, Watson and their like, and Penrose, the flower of the flock, are the little brothers of the profiteers. They believe in money first and human welfare, if at all, afterward. Without such men as these the great monopolies could never have been formed.” At another point in his speech, Pinchot said: “How far these men have misread the signs of the times is almost incredible. For example, during the sessions of the Republican National Commitee in Chicago last March, the man most discussed as a candidate for the presidency was Jim Watson of a candidate who would be little more acceptable to the average Republican voter than John D. Rockefeller of Penrose himself. I was there, and I know.”

THE PRESIDENT’S TOUR

For several months the President’s opponents have had a sort of “open season” of criticism of him and his policies and proposals. While he was busy in the solution of the world’s biggest problem a large number of his fellow countrymen were engaged in the easiest of all tasks —finding fault. So mean and petty and spiteful has been some of this carping -that one can hardly escape believing its authors would have found as much, satisfaction

tn hla failure (If he had failed) as other more patriotic Americans have derived from bis successes. But a few weeks hence the Preeident Is to tour the country and meet friends and foes face to face and give the American people an account of his stewardship. He will at the same time doubtless afford them some understanding of the tremendous difficulties that confronted him in the peace conference and submit to them the greatest of all modern achievements in Htatesiuansbip—the League of Nations. Those who have misunderstood, those, who have judged hastily and those who have been misled will have the truth from the President's lips, and will be convinced. Only the partisan and the narrow traditionalist may be expected to remain proof against facts and reason.

MISREPRESENTING THEIR PARTY

In the attitude and actions of: Senators Lodge, Knox and a few of their close associates in the fight* against the League of Nations there has been an implication that theyj constitute the Republican party as well as the sole source of authority in making treaties. Senator McCumber’s repudiation of their leadership and bls espousal of the League was the first disillusionment vouchsafed to these ‘•makers of destiny.” Now come some of the most Influntlai Republicans in the country to urge the Senatorial Tailors of Tooley Street to regard the wishes' of some hundreds of thousands of other members of the party by whom the opposition to the League of Nations is deemed both distasteful and disastrous. This little cabal of Senators have not thus far been moved by considerations of patriotism, but they may now be expected to pay some heed to threats of defection In the ranks of their party. Their whole i conduct has been such that it is not unfair to believe they would rather withdraw from the fight on the League than be withdrawn from the Senate.

LODGE’S ROAD A ROCKY ROUTE

Senator Lodge is finding the road he is treading as leader of his party In the senate a rocky route. On one hand he is beset by Senator Knbx, Chairman Hays and others, who are declaring that the League of Nations is not a partisan or political Issue. The next day he is attacked by Senator Borah, Poindexter and others, who tell him that if the G. O.'P. hasn’t the backbone to make It a party Issue, they will establish a party next year to make it a party issue. The Massachusetts Senator will need enough oil to pour on the turbulent waters within the next year to send the price soaring to netv heights. Republican Leader Mondell, in the House, praises his party for saving a billion dollars to the taxpayers, lopped from appropriation bills in the House. But the game is too thin. Many of the appropriations cut out by the House have been restored by the Senate, but Mr. Mondell camouflages by talking only of what the House cut out and not what the Senate put back, hoping that the latter will be overlooked. Opposing the organization of a third party in 1912, Governor Osborn, Republican, of Michigan, said: “I am of the opinion that there is no necessity for a new party. The issue is clearly joined for the people. It is Wall street versus Wilson.” What the Michigan Governor said in 1912 is clearly apropos in 1919. • Packing the Foreign Relations

committee of the Senate to Insure an adverse report on the treaty of peace and the League of Nations J has not produced the reanlta Senators Lodge and Penrose and Knox expected. Senator McCumber, a Republican, refused to stay •’packed” • and bBB come out f° r the League. Senators Lodge and Knox and Chairman Hays all declare in a loud voice that the League of Nations Is not a partisan issue, then do* their utmost to make it such by lining up their followers against it. Every •‘robin” of the famous thirtyseven was a Senator of the G. O. P. Reducing appropriations for the [ Army and Navy as a text for political speeches may prove unpleasant for Republicans in the next campaign. Thousands of soldiers who are deprived of their comforts by this hypocritical “economy” will be home to vote In 1920. .Now that the “Progressives” in i congress have been crossed with • Republicans there ought to be a i name for the hybrid product. “ReI progressives” is offered as a sugI gestion. It has the merit of being different by only one letter from “Retrogressives.”

Chairman Hays of the Republican National commltte Informs the world that his party “has carried the flag and made the music for the Union.” Yes, the G. O. P. has paraded with the flag for a long time and has furnished some music full of discords. “Progressive” Republicans in the Senate are for Hiram Johnson for president. If they wage as sturdy a fight for Hiram for the presidency as they did against the standpat bosses In the organization of the Senate, Hiram will do well. After a month’s control of legislation, the only good measures the Republicans in congress have passed are those which their filibuster prevented the Democrats from enacting in the last session. Republican leaders in eongress began by promising "economy,” but they are wasting much time and language in their opposition to the League of Nations—and time, at least, is valuable. Republicans began by asking “reservations” in the treaty of peace and have ended by proposing "reservations” in the Knox resolution.

SCRAPS

Leather made from fishskin Is pronounced a success. A bicycle tire Invented In Europe Is made of closely colled steel wire. The idea that hard wood is any better than soft for fuel has been found erroneous. There is a shortage of salt in Japan. The defilcit this year will be about 933,330,000 pounds. A wheat recently developed in Italy Is said to yield an average of 10 bushels an acre more than any other known kind. According to a Roumanian scientist, old age is due solely to a decrease in the amount of water In the human system. It has been suggested that wood for fuel be bought by weight rather than by bulk as the only fair way of dealing In this commodity. All the paraffin wax for candlemaking In South Africa has to be Imported. This amounts annually to 8,250 tons, valued at $1,500,000. Airplane mail, freight and eventually, passenger service between the principal cities of Brazil is proposed by promoters who have received a government Three .Josiah Qujncys have filled the office of mayor of Boston. The first Josiah Quincy to become mayor served six years, from 1823 to 1828, later becoming president of Harvard college. His son, Josiah Quincy, Jr., was mayor for three years, from 1846 to 1848, and he was the grandfather of the Josiah Quincy still living, who was mayor for four years, from 1896 to 1899.

A "RENSSELAER MAN’S EXPERIENCE.

Can you doubt the evidence of this Rensselaer citizen? You can verify Rensselaer endorsement. Read this: Landy McGee, fur dealer, says: “1 suffered from a fame back and such severe pains across my loins that I couldn’t rest well and my kidneys were too active. I used several medicines, but nothing seemed to relieve me until I got Doan’s Kidney Pills at 6. F. Fendig’s drug store. The backache and pains in my loins soon left and the kidney secretions became natural.’’ (Statement given May 31, 1907.) On February 22, 1916, Mr. McGee said: “Doan’s Kidney Pills are still my stand-by. I think they are fine and I am never without them in the house.” Price 60 c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. McGee- had. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Mfgrs, Buffalo, N. Y.— Advt.
