LODGE AND SHANTUNG

Republican “strong men” in the uenate, and particularly Senator Lodge, long noted for his familiarity with and interest in foreign affairs, are moved to tears over the “crime of Shantung.” Because of Japan’s acquisition of the territory that Germany grabbed from China, Senator Lodge and others •would reject the peace and Xhrow the league of nations covenant into the boneyard. It is more than passing strange that Senator Lodge should suddenly develop so deep an interest in China’s territorial integrity after the lapse of 21 years during which

he was ailent and stone cold on that subject. It was In 1897-98 that the international robbery was committed and Shantung passed out the possession of Germany. Senator Lodge was then in the senate, President McKinley was in the White House, the Republicans were in control everywhere. Senator Teller and some leaders of the opposition party denounced the disembenment of China and declared it to be America’s duty to "join with Great Britain in a notice to Russia and Germany that dismemberment will not be permitted.” Did Senator Lodge define a similar attitude for himself? Not until 1 the lapse of 21 years, then to suddenly burst into tears, to be moved to intense indignation by the transfer of a bit of territory from one international robber to another str.ong-arm nation whose title is at least no worse than was that of the imperialistic country Senator Lodge saw commit the original robbery without so much as lifting his voice in protest. Verily, the years have softened the senator’s heart, but have failed to make consistency his jewel.

ARE MAKING THEMSELVES RIDICULOUS

One of the Republican newspapers gloats over the fact that certain Republican senators do not indicate a willingness to accept the president’s invitation to visit the White House and discuss with him the terms of the peace treaty. Among the absentees are certain senators who have been loudest in damnation of the treaty and condemnation of the president, no matter what he may or may not do. And one of the things they have damned him loudest for was his alleged tendency to “go it alone,”

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

to refuse to take senator* into his confidence. But now that the treaty la ready and the senate’s innings are at hand, these senators who have been most vociferous in their denunciation are not disponed to take advantage of the opportunity they have been’ so loudly demanding, to go over the treaty's provisions with the president. It is strange that critics of this type are so blind that they cannot see that they are making themselves ridiculous; that they cannot understand that his position will become impregnable because of their refusal of the opportunity to go over the terms of the treaty and the articles of the league covenant freely and frankly with him. He was Instrumental in the drafting: he is more familiar with the terms than they. Is it not their duty under their oath of office to gain all the information they may from him or any other source, so they can more intelligently discharge their duty when the time comes to vote on ratification? We believe the American people feel that it is.

ECONOMY THAT COUNTS

Up to the last of June, the war department had liquadated war contracts amounting to approximately a billion and a quarter dollars. By this process, g 1,279,158,000, or 86.2% of the amount of the contracts, was saved. There remained more than two billion dollars of unfulfilled contracts to be cancelled or liquidated. On these, it was estimated, approximately two billions of dollars would be saved. A total saving of more than three billions of dollars will accordingly have been effected. Republicans in congress are attempting to take the credit for these savings. New appropriations are much smaller, and the departments of the government are sending to congress estimates greatly below what would have been necessary and what wore requested before the armistice was signed. In their claims of "economy” and their boasts about "retrenchment,” Republicans in congress are attempting to deceive the public into believing that if it had not been for their precautions, the appropriations would have been vastly larger. As a matter of fact, it is the departments, and particularly the war and navy departments, that are showing the way to lessen appropriations.

Chainman Graham, Republican, of the special house committee to find out why a Democratic administration won the world war, and how, attacks the council of national defense for ante-bellum preparation. As a large majority of the Republican members of congress voted against all American legislation prior to our entrance into the war, then assailed the administration for not preparing, and next noisily voted for all war measures, it would seem that a charge of inconsistency is in order. Also, Mr. Graham overlooks the fact that the majority of* the council were Republicans. Perhaps he has not found that out yet.

Thomas Jefferson through the Declaration of Independence helped set the new world free, says Chairman Homer S. Cummings of the Democratic national committee, “while today Woodrow Wilson is the primal force in preparing a document of liberty that is destined to set the whole world free.” But there are certain “non-partisan’’ Republicans who strenuously decry a universal freedom because a Democratic president has made it possible. Chairman Hays favors a league of nations, favors the Knox resolution and the other obstructive tactics of the Republican senators, favors the Republican plan of short-dealing with soldiers as well as the departments that are taking the leadership in the country’s industrial and social —in fact, favors most anything you happen to ask Willie about. He is all things to all men.

If Senator Borah really wants a referendum on the league of nations, and does “represent a very intelligent and patriotic constituency,” he can obtain a quick answer by resigning his toga and returning to Idaho for vindication. Perhaps i.ls reluctance is due to a recollection of what happened to Senators Roscoe Conkling and Thomas Collier Platt in New York in 188 J. Had it not been for the veto of a Democratic president and the insistence of Democratic senators and representatives, the disabled American soldiers of the world war would have gone a-begging as regards adequate vocational training. But the Republican party could have pointed to another example of party efficiency in saving the nation’s money.

Senator Sherman agree* that war is what General Sherman said It was, especially when it was fought under a Democratic administration and when a Democratic president negotiates the greatest paet of peace ever written, and is instrumental in fotmilng a society of nations that will give the world its first promise that there will be no more wars. “The abundant capacity of Republican leadership to make mistakes.** "No, the quotation is not from a Democrat. It is from Senator Kenyon of lowa. Surely, senator, you didn’t have Senator Lodge or ChaJnman Hays In mind? Senator Borah’s threat to quit the Republican party if the league of nations covenant is ratified is another reason why many Republicans favor ratification.

"HIS TREATMENT IS REMARKABLE,” HE SAYS

Capt. F. 8. Patty, Ex-Passenger Agent Northern Pacific, Discusses Former Troubles. Nearly everybody in Knoxville, Tenn., especially railroad people, know Captain F. 8. Patty, for twelve years district passenger agent for the Northern Pacific tailroad, with local offices In Chattanooga and general offices In St. Paul, Minn. On account of generally failing health Capt. Patty was forced to discontinue active work and for the past few years has been making his home in Knoxville, where he numbers his friends by his acquaintances. He is a kind, genial gentleman of the old school and Is beloved by all who know him. The following interesting statement was made by him in person to the Tanlac representative: “I ain 69 years old and always enjoyed good health up to about six years ago, when I suffered a nervous breakdown and my general health gradually failed me. My principal trouble was indigestion and catarrh, but my whole system seemed to be out of shape. My condition finally got so bad 1 couldn’t sleep at night and always after eating I wouM suffer so from indigestion and heart-burn that I felt just like there was a coal of fire in my stomach. My hearing and vision were also affected. 1 consulted several doctors here in Knoxville and other cities and they helped me considerably and I finally got so I could go around, but some how I Just couldn’t feel right and could not sleep at night, which made me awfully nervous and nothing I would eat seemed to agree with me. “I began reading about this Tanlac when you first came here, but did not decide to try the medicine until I talked with a friend of mine who had actually used it. He said It was the best thing he had • ever taken, and that was sufficient proof for me. , “I have Just finished the first bottle and came here this morning, not only to buy the second bottle, but to tell you Just what it has done for me. I began enjoying my meals from the first few drops. My nervousness is gone and I can sleep like a child and always wake up in the morning ready for breakfast and feeling refreshed. I am very fond of onions, but was almost afraid to eat them, because they always disagreed with me so; I could taste them for hours afterwards. I ate one for dinner the other day and it agreed with me perfectly and I felt no bad after effects whatsoever. I tell you I am beginning to feel like a different man and am always going to keep this Tanlac on hand. It has done me more good than anything else in the medicine line I have ever taken. I certainly do recommend it to my friends. It is really remarkable.’’ Tanlac is sold in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck. —Advt.
