“WIGGLING AND WOBBLING”

A sense of bedeviled bewilderment will overtake Senator Hiram Johnson and Senator Brandegee, if not the whole American people, on reading George W. Wickersham’s statement after conferring with Mr. Harding on the league of nations. In bls speech of Aug. .28, Mr. Harding declared in so many words that the league “has undoubtedly passed beyond the possibility of restoration.” Senator Johnson thereupon jubilantly ejaculated, "the league is dead!” and Senator Brandegee, another irreconcilable, wired to Mr. Harding: "Glory hallelujah! God reigns and the government at Washington still lives." Mr. Wickersham, who has always favored the league covenant, eVen without reservations, after laboring several hours with the candidate, now reports that Mr. Harding “would not wholly and finally reject the league” because he recognizes that the league is interwoven with the fortunes of Europe. And this within a fortnight after Colonel George Harvey, “an outstanding American,” to quote Mr. Harding himself, had spent three zealous and perspiring days at Marion filling the candidate with the true gospel of the bitter-enders. More comment from Senator Johnson and Brandegee is in order.—Springfield Republican. „

ATTACKS HARDING SPEECH

Congressman Frank E. Doremus, | chairman of the central western headquarters of the Democratic na- j tional committee, issued a statement • on Senator Harding’s speech at Minneapolis. “Senator Harding’s speech was an

adroit effqrt to placate farmers who remembered what he said when the bill for $2 wheat was on its passage,” Mr. Doremus said. "He said then that ‘dollar wheat makes a .very profitable occupation,’ and that ‘if the qualities of American patriotism are such that we must guarantee the American farmer a price for his wheat in the face of world famine, then there is not patriotism enough in this country to win the war.’ ' “If Senator Harding thought dollar wheat was profitable then and the demand for $2 wheat was greedy, he will have difficulty in explaining it away now to the hardheaded farmer of the wheat belt, however roseate the program he may lay out on paper.”

One of the most significant signs of the campaign is found in the letters newspapers print from the readers which show a general trend of independent sentiment toward Cox and Roosevelt, but no independent Democratic sentiment toward Harding and Coolidge. Every day the Democratic papers contain letters from readers announcing that they are Republicans but Intend to vote for Governor Cox and Mr. Roosevelt, and similar letters frequently appear in Republican newspapers, which probably receive many more of the kind than they print. Senator Harding has, at last said something that is bold, fearless, clear as a bell and which cannot be successfully disputed. Evidently without consultation with Chairman Hays, or Senator Penrose, or . the campaign committee, he comes right

out and in tones that carry conviction to the mind and a thrill to tho heart declares: “The history of civilization is a very interesting story." One of the finest tributes ever paid to the labor record of Governor Cox was that of a Pennsylvania miner, who In a strike escaped across the state line into Ohio and said: “Pennsylvania is Siberia; Ohio is America.” The governor of Ohio, then as now, was James M. Cox, who settled all Ohio strikes without calling out a soldier or firing a shot. Thanks to Tennessee, the women of Vermont and Connecticut can now express their opinions at the ballot box of the administrations that refused to allow the elected representatives of the people in their legislatures to vote upon suffrage. "Senator Harding is not a whirling dervish,” asserts Senator New. He certainly is not. Now, that that Is settled, what is he? * ” Every good~“Dembcrat should welcome the final victory of woman suffrage with open arms.

FIRST AID TRAINING TO MEN AND WOMEN

American Red Cross Is Teaching Hundreds of Thousands LifeSaving Methods. The purpose of instruction in First Aid to the Injured offered by the American Red Cross is to train men and women to First Aid treatment promptly_and ttAelllgently when emergencies demand it. First Aid treatment is not Intended to take the place of a physician’s service. A surgeon should always be summoneed as a precautionary measure where there is an injury of any consequence, but when one cannot be secured a few minutes’ delay may mean a fatality. In such a case a person trained in First Aid is invaluable not only to the Individual, but through to the community in which he Ilves. There is perhaps no way of ascertaining the number of deaths or serious disablements which result from lack of proper safeguards or prompt emergency treatment. It is safe to assert they number thousands daily. There can be no doubt that the application of First Aid methods to each case would Immeasurably -lighten the country’s toll of suffering and death. 1 The dissemination of First Aid training and information has already produced a farreaehing and beneficial influence in the prevention of accidents on railroads, In mines and in great industrial concerns. The benefit of a widespread knowledge of First Aid in the event of a great disaster, such as a train wreck, an explosion, an earthquike, etc., is obvious. * Laymen who have had First Aid training can render efficient assistance. Many lives may depend uponsuch emergency care. Red Cross First Aid work includes (1) the formation and conduct, through Red Cross chapters, of classes for Instruction In accident prevention and First Aid to the injured among men and women In all communities and in every industry; (2) the introduction of

courses of instruction in high schools and colleges. The Red Cross Is prepared to supply First Aid books and equipment at reasonable prices. Every person In this country able to do so should, in his own interest, receive Red Cross First Aid instruction. Information about the course and instruction classes may be had at the nearest chapter headquarters.

RED CROSS EXTENDS RELIEF TO POLAND

More than $5,000,000 has been spent by the American Red Cross in aiding the stricken people of Poland. The organization has nursed the sick, fed the starving, clothed the naked, sheltered the homeless, schooled the children and cared for the orphans there. It has conducted a relentless fight against typhus, cholera and other terrible diseases. So today millions of men and women in that resurrected nation speak in grateful appreciation of “The Greatest Mother In the World.” Nearly 200 American Red Cross workers are now engaged in relief activities In Poland. Four relief bases are in operation and eleven mobile units are In the field During the lust twelve months this organization was largely Instrumental in the re-es-tablishment of a million refugees at a cost for general relief of more than $1,000,000. Last winter one-half million war orphans were aided materially, and since then a series of large orphanages have been established to give them permanent care. But for American Red Cross aid, officials of Poland declared recently, millions of- people In that country would have perished of disease, exposure or starvation the last eighteen months. And the work <iere must be kept up for another year.
