REVERSING FOREIGN POLICY

Senator V.. G. Harding promises—“threatens” would be a better word —if elected, to completely reverse the foreign policy of the United States. - Let us see what this would mean in even a few familiar particulars: A repudiation of the Monroe floctrine, which has been -the established policy for nearly a hundred years, including Grover Cleveland’s Venezuela message: “The United States Is practically sovereign on this continent and its flat is law.” Repudiation of the Spanish-Amer-ican was. And the return of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines to Spain. Repufliataion of the policies that kept us at peace with Europe (except for the Spanish war) for more than a hundred years, and keeps us at peace with now. Repudiation of the treaty under which we built the Panama canal., Return of Alaska to Russia. Repudiation of our entrance into the world war to overthrow German autocracy and make the world safe for democracy. Repudiation of our refusal to recognize the Bolshevik government. Repudiation of our policy of nonintervention in Mexico. These are but a few familiar phases of our foreign policy that Senator Harding would “completely reverse.” Is it any mystery why they keep him chained on the porch?

WHY BE SHOCKED NOW?

Why should the Republican leaders .pretend to be shocked by Governor Cox’s charge that they are raising an enormous campaign fund to buy the presidency? They were not shocked when Senator Newberry was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in the penitentiary on the charge of spending a fortune in his campaign; they neither asked him to resign from nor threw him out of the senate. They were not shocked at the millions spent in the primary campaigns of General Wood ano Governor Lowden, but this latter was a moral and not a legal offense Only when the offense ~charged might come within the province of the criminal courts do they seem to display a pretense of resentment. What has become of the claim that the g. o. p. is “the party of great moral ideas”?

WANTED TO PROTECT LOOEY

(Continued from Page One)

The editor has talked with a number of people who attended the South Bend meeting and all Insist that many left the audience. Just Saturday a traveling man, who had attended the meeting, ’said that Mr. Grant’s statement was true and more than that Senator Watson had a larger 'crowd and made a better address' at Monticello last Friday.— Looey. In conversation with the writer Sunday afternoon Mr. Grant said that he did not make the statement to Hamilton as the latter published it, that “a third of the audience wete so disgusted with the address that they left the hall during the speech.” Asked just what he did say to Hamilton, he started out with: “Well, it was a very warm night and — Now if I tell you just what I said to him you will make Hamilton out a liar. I won’t tell you what I did say. Several left the hall, however.” There was a large number of people there? “Oh, yes. But several left during the speech.” Did they leave on account of the oppressive heat or because they were disgusted with the address? “Well, I left because I was disgusted. Another man —I didn’t ask him his politics, but herald he was a Democrat —left with me.” Did he leave because of the heat or because he was disgusted? “Well, I told him I was disgusted and he said be was, too.” But did you and this man constitute one-third of the audience? “Oh, there was more left. We looked back as we were going up the alley and saw some others coming.” Were these other people so disgusted with the address, or were they leaving on account of the heat? “Well, I was disgusted and the Democrat with me said he was, too.” This was all the Information forded by Mr. Grant, but the writer has personally talked with many very reputable people whp were also at this meeting, also read the newspaper accounts, including that of the Associated Press, which is supposed to be unbiased, and all agree that only an occasional person left the hall “on account of the heat,” but instead the large audience of thousands of people—the address was

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

given in the big coliseum—heard him through to the- end, and many reports said the speech was highly spoken of, and by many Republic ans, too.

H a third of a big audience of many thousands of people got up and left during the address of a presidential nominee, the opposition press next morning would have her aided it from Maine to California. Such a thing has never occurred and probably never will. It didn’t occur at South Bend, and every person with an ounce of common sense knows that it didn’t. It is too silly to comment on. No other partisan paper in the country was foolish enough or dishonest enough to publish any such charge or to Insinuate it, but. the Rensselaer Republican. As to Looey’s "traveling man,” we have met his kind in ever}' campaign for the last 25 or 30 years. He went »to school and went fishing many times with both candidates, knows them better than he. knows us; he has always voted the Democrat ticket, but he can’t support the Democrat candidate this time, knowing the two men as he does, etc., etc., and then more etc. Just what salary this sort of traveling man draws from the g. o. p. slush fund is not made public, along with the other secrets of this source. x

TO GO AFTER HARPSTER CO.

Department of Justice About to Institute Proceedings. Washington, Sept. 10.—Attorney General Palmer announced that the department of justice is about to institute proceedings against the International Harvester company, under the anti-trust law. This decision follows a report by the federal trade commission, which declares that prices for farm tools were Increased without warrant and by "concerted action” between the Harvester company and dealers. Prices paid by farmers for machinery advanced 73 per cent between 1914 and 1918, according to this report.

Every farmer who owns his farm, ought to have printed stationery with his name and the name of his postoffice properly given. The printed heading might also give the names of whatever crops he specializes in or his specialities In stock. Neatly printed stationery gives you a personality and a standing with any person or firm to whom you write and Insures the proper reading of your name and address. ts

AMERICA IN PROTEST

U. 8. CLAIMS PEACE TREATY HAS BEEN IGNORED. Supreme Council Auume* Work of Reparations Commission—Note to Allies Filed. Paris, Sept.'lo.— lt Is said here that William Boyden, American representative on the reparations commission, has presented to the allied governments through the head of that commission a communication from the American state department which may cause fundamental changes in European diplomatic methods. This communication Is said to affirm that the United States disapproves in principle of the method adopted by the allies in settling questions'of reparations within the supreme council and disapproves in particular of the agreements reached at Spa and Boulogne. The state department points out that machinery is specifically provided in the treaty of Versailles for the disposition of all such questions. This machinery Is the reparations commission. In the opinion of the United States government not only should these matters be taken immediately out of the hands of the supreme council and referred back to the reparations commission, but the latter body should be accorded full interpretative and revislonary powers regarding even such arrangements as those at Spa. It is understood that the Belgian government has Just presented a similar note. The French government is still deliberating, but it is highly probable that it will adhere entirely to the American point of view.

BRITISH MINE PARLEY FAILS

Sir Robert Horne of Board of Trade and Workers' Delegation Unable to Agree. London, Sept. 10.—A conference held between Sir Robert Horne, president of the board of trade, and a delegation from the miners’ organization, in an effort to reach a solution of the coal crisis, resulted In what is generally regarded as failure. At the conclusion of the conference Robert Smillie, acting as spokesman for the miners, informed Sir Robert that the miners’ executive body was of the opinion the statement he had made to it contained no new proposal which would lead to a satisfactory settlement of the miners’ demands.

Would Lift Taxes on New Homes.

St. Louis, Sept TO.—Elimination of all taxation for ten years on residences erected In 1921 and 1922 was urged as a means of speeding up construction and consequently relieving the house shortage In resolutions adopted at the closing session of the convention of the National Retail Lumber Dealers’ association here.
