GOOD COMPANY TO BE IN

Among the well-known and very able men who have joined the Democratic ranks this year on the league of nations issue are Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale university, who is active in organizing the proleague Republicans and Independents; Prof. Charles Seymour of Yale, author of “Diplomlatic Background of the War,” pronounced by Mr. Taft the most illuminating book on the war; Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard; Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Theodore Marburg, minister to Belgium under Mr. Taft’s administration; Hamilton Holt, editor of the Independent; Henry C. King, president of Oberlin college, and Dr. J. T. Shaw, professor emeritus of Oberlin; the Rev.z Henry S. Stinson of New York city; Moorfleld Storey of Boston; Mary E. Woolley, president of Mt. Holyoke, and Katherine Lee Bates, professor at Wellesley. These are names that carry great weight. And yet we are beginning to hear that the league of nations is "not an issue.” This is the latest effort to wiggle out of the very embarrassing and utterly indefensible position in which Mr. Harding’s supporters find themselves. It Is in order to quote from what Prof. Fisher calls Mr. Taft’s “Apologia,” in which the ex-president of the -United Slates declares: “I believe that the issue of the league of nations transcends in importance any domestic issues and would justify and require one who believes so to ignore i&rty ties and secure this great boon for the world and this country.” Prof. Fisher says that the only reason given by Mr. Taft for nOt bolting is that “not enough Republican senators can be removed by falldecliohstotnsurethenecessarj. two-thirds majority for the program which Mr. Cox and Mr. Taft both want. “I confess L am quite unable to comprehend or to condone such mental and moral legerdemain. It deeply grieves me that my mentor on the league of nations who knows all about it and has emphatically and convincingly answered every objection yet brought forward, should thus be found wanting in a great emergency. Mr. Taft sins with his eyes wide open and is condemned out of his own mouth.”

A TRADE WAR

That there are men in this country who are looking forward, and with eagerness, to a bitter trade war, can no longer be doubted. There are now three propositions before the people that point directly to that purpose. There are those who would scrap the Versailles treaty and the league covenant, and make a separate peace with Germany, thus keeping America out-of a great league that already comprises 41 nations in its membership. It is hard to believe that there are any men favorable to such a policy. But such is the surprising and disheartening fact. Out of this policy a trade war would certainly be born. But it is proposed further to enact legislation exempting American ships from the payment of Panama canal tolls, legislation that would be in flat violation of a treaty by virtue of which we enjoy great benefits and advantages, benefits and which were withheld from us by the treaty which the later convention superseded. The repeal of the law exempting our ships from the payment of tolls was voted for by both Democrats and Republicans, and strongly supported by such men as Elihu Root and Henry Cabot Lodge. Yet the Republican platform declares in favor of toll exemption for “all vessels engaged in coastwise trade and all vessels of the American mer-

chant marine” using the Panama canal.” ThuSitls sought to reverse an act of the congress, participated in by many Republicans, which was generally recognized as just and right, and as In * accordance with the best traditions of the nation. It is another step in the direction of trade war. Finally, we are proposing to drive ships flying foreign flags out of American "ports by government dis crimination in favor of ships of American registry, and one American senator has said that he hoped that would be the result. Here, of course, is direct war. It Is, too, war on our own people and merchants, who would be deprived of a muchneeded competition. We can not think that such policies will ever commend themselves to the American people. In a Washington dispatch to the News of yesterday was this: American manufacturers, who have spent much money during the last 15 months investigating foreign trade possibilities, are much concerned over this foreign program. They confidently believe that should it be carried out in its entirety it would make it almost impossible for the United States to get trade footholds anywhere that would be worth while. Already South American countries, which had shown great interest in American products, are turning from us, and are now showing a preference for the tradesmen of Europe, and during the last six months our South American trade has been getting away from us at an alarming rate. We do not wonder that our manufacturers are “concerned.” Fo r there is nothing in the policy to attract, but everything to repel trade. —Indianapolis News (Rep.).

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

A VOTE FOR McCRAY IS A VOTE FOR GOODRICHISM

i Mr. McCrgy goes around with the game words on his lips and the same smug manner with which Mr. Goodrich corralled the voters four .years ago. Mr. McCray, like Mr. । Goodrich, promises a “business administration.” While Mr. McCray never mentions j the Goodrich policies by name, he Us running on a platform which en- , dorses Goodrlchism, so it is fair to assume that his ideas of a “business administration” are pretty much like those of the governor. | It is reasonable to think that Mr. I McCray’s visions of a “business ad- । ministration” include the same centralized commiseionized, empirical jsort of government that Goodrich I has worked so hard to build up. It is this “business administra'tion” that has put convicts to work lat the Globe Mining company, officered by friends and relatives of the governor. It is this ‘‘business administration” tjiat has sponsored the present personnel of the public utilities commission, which has a habit of giving public utilities hgher rates than they ask for or even dream of. It s this type of “business” that has paroled 1,163 convicts, thus undoing the work which an elaborate system of justice has accomplished. It is “business” when the state highway • commission builds roads at $6,000 a mile more than the same roads ’ cost Marlon county, and then builds them where they do the most political good as if they were political fences. The tax law —perhaps, also is a “business” feature; and the state board of tax commissioners, more “business.” “ That, friends, is what Mr. McCray means when he promises a "business administration.” He stands on a Goodrich platform and he inherits the visions—aye, he puts them in the same words —of Goodrich.

Don’t let 'Ctn tell you different! | A vote fofi McCray is an endorsement of Goodrlchism! —White County Democrat. j

GOOD WORK BY THE LEAGUE;

New York, Sept. 25. —The statement of Premier Branting of Sweden lauding the league of nations fqr its peaceful efforts to adjust the Aland islands dispute between Sweden and Finland is to be a leading text of Democratic campaign orators, i This wae announced by George White, chairman of the Democratic national committee, who said that Instructions had gone out to speakers to stress the matter. “Americans should mark well Premlei’ statement to the effect that the league of nations will be able to avert between Sweden and Finland a tense situation over the Aland islands, a situation which might have led to war,” said Mi J White. “If Sweden and Finland had gone to war, instead of to the league, Europe might again ( have become ‘ embroiled. And since a certain dispute between Serbla and Austria in 1914 finally engulfed the United States, who can say what the conse-. quences of a Baltic war would be?”
