TUE WAR’S AFTERMATH

All the world was Impressed by jthe high Ideals and humanitarian motives which actuated the United States in entering and prosecuting |he war. At the close of the great conflict there was a universal disposition. to make a peace which should adopt America’s unselfishness in all international relations. The various peoples stood willing and waiting for the United States to take the lead and through the league of nations to give force and effect to this new order of things. No sooner had the /league emerged from the Paris conference than it was attacked by men in the very country which was everywhere expected to vitalize and perpetuate it as a guarantee of concord and justice between the nations. As this opposition in the .United States senate continued to grow in influence and virulence, the peoples of Europe showed signs first of bitter disappointment and ithen of despair. The workers, who are at once the principal advocates of peace and the chief sufferers in war, began to doubt the establishment of the league. Their misgivings bred discontent; they sought lo obtain by strikes and demonstra- > -tions what they believed they had lost through the failure of the league. That spirit of unrest and resentment and antagonism is manifest in the strikes and general disquiet among wage-earners in the States. The gfeatest war in history seemed at its end to have accomplished the most promising and permanent peace of history- Men were convinced that they need make fewer sacrifices to insure international understanding and comity than were required •to conduct wars. But instead of an aftermath of love, there has been an aftermath of hate. Senator Lodge and”his associates In the fight against the |reaty„ against the league of nations and against peace disappointed and embittered the world. They may haive to bear a terrible responsibility. The temper of European peoples today imay easily bring a break-down of law. There may come a reign of anarchy. International war may have ceased only to be followed by International revolutions. The league of nations has been kept out of operation for six months. That is a lojig time during which to deprive the whole world of a means of making and keeping peace.

THE SANITY OF THE FARMERS

One of the reassuring forces in the present period of industrial uncertainty is the sanity of the farmers’ organizations. Among all the producers, it is apparent, according to the resolutions adopted by their conventions, that none realizes better than the farmer the Importance of hard and persistent work to put the country hack on Its basis of substantial prosperity. At Chicago farmers denounced, as well they (might, strikes and lockouts “as bringing unnecessary loss and suffering on the many while bringing benefits, if any, to the few,” and they resented "the implication that the farmers of this country can be yoked up with greed and lawlessness, whether capitalisjtic, laboristic or Bolshevistic.” At the Grand Rapids meeting of the National Grange the grandmaster declared that the demand for shorter hours on the part of certain classes of labor was indefensible. There can be no doubt of the fanner’s right to speak as a man iwho works, even if he is not regarded as a "workingmen” in the sense in which the term Is ordinar-

ily used. His working hours are irregular and variable, depending on the season and the weather. He puts In full time, wbaterver It may be, without watching the clock, for part of his work is a dally task that can not be (postponed and part of it must be done as seasonal opportunity offers. That such labor is inevitable if the food production business Is to reach its necessary output he realizes »nd accepts without objection. If, in spits of his skill as a cultivator, the weather causes him losses, he accepts them as part of his business routine, and goes ahead with his work. He makes Buch profits as he can, but between him and the enormous cost of food stands many a charge that brings him no return. On the other hand he must pay for manufactured products the high charges that result from slackened production, high wages and the general greed that probably has as much influence on prices as any other one force. Naturally the farmer has scant sympathy for six-hour days and five-day weeks. As Be sees it, these will make the things that he

THE TWICB-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

buys cost more without Increasing the price of the things that he seels —and he sees pretty clearly. There will evidently be no joining of the farmers In any movement to reduce (production and increase wages, and the country Is fortunate In having a conservative force of such power aligned In favor of a sane rehabilitation of the people’s affairs- —Indianapolis News.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

Lieut-Gov. Edgar D. Bush, one of the several Republican candidates for the nomination for governor of Indiana, In a speech to Republicans of Lake county at Crown Point last week urged modification of several features of the new tax law, which Is regarded by him as radical In some of its provisions. He reiterated his contention that the state board of tax commissioners had too much power. The next big investigation will be that the people undertake to find out why the Republican majority Isn’t keeping at least 10 per cent, of its promises of good legislation. When that inquiry comes It is pretty certain that soime dis-

tlngulshed gentleman will be convicted In the court of public opinion of having obtained office under false pretensesRailroad legislation is promised now “after the disposition of the treaty." Republican obstructionists are not satisfied with delaying the treaty—-they are using that wilful delay as an excuse for procrastination in respect to other business. J. D. Ryan, former director of aircraft production, made Republican Investigators look like the subjects of Investigation, and they lost their temper. These delvers In the mire don’t relish having their own mud thrown back at them. There is a good deal of talk in congress about adjourning. In fact, there Is a good deal of talk In congress about everything, but the people would like to see some of this talk translated into deeds. The attention of certain Republican senators is respectfully called to the war department's coming sale of 673 anvils. These gentlemen are already supplied with hammers.

Has It been noticed that the league of nations is more popular as an “issue" with Republicans who are holding office than It is with those who are seeking office?
