ComMuniTy STAR OF HoPE . : Mo - ‘ | b TRADE § g \% AUIVE JTome TRISE ; 'Five Points oF Procress THE COSPEL OF JUNKER TUM Under the above caption the New Tork World makes the following comment on . the -acceptance speech of Senator Harding. . . Senator Harding's speech accepting the Republican - nomination for President leaves. his party with a candidete as vague and non-committal in regard to the League of Nations as its platform. The- other outstanding features of this strange deliverance areifs failure adequately to grasp the ceonomic problems now ‘confronting v dostracted world and s denial of a generouy word in approval of the meu al Washington who successfully directed’ the moral, physical and financial forces of the Republic in the grextest” of wars. No Pan-German milifarist smarting under defeat could be more-contemptuously critical of American accomplishments at home and abroad than the author of this AGATress. o

It is not Mr: Harding's evasions; his narrow partisanship, nis grievous misuse of the English longuage o 1 his apparent incapacity to express himself frankly on many subjects that wiil cause the greatest disappointmenit in his utterances. . What is the mos't depressing in the Bourbonism with which they are streaked through and through. From his vapid panegyric of government by party, as thoagh since Washington's day we had ever had anything else, nad his grotesque discovery that the Vice President is “the second official” of the country, to his solemn avowal that “no man is big ¢nough to run this Republic; there never has been one,” little will be encountered -~ but - platitudes and clumsy verbal balancing intended to satisfy the standpatter of the inner ¢ircle and perhaps to beguile the progressive who remains in doubt at a distance. i : .

Welcoming a referendum om his party’s ;‘defense of the preserved inheritance of national- freedons,” Mr. Harding throws no light whatewer upon his attitude toward the treaty of peace. . He. may want to kill it vvith Hiram Johuson and Borah; he may' be inclined to hamstring it with Lodgy. or with Knox he may favor an impossible separate peace 'with Germaay, but he does not say soo, except as his promise of “a formal and effective peaec” may be construted as subscribing to the Pennsylvania Senator’s program. Like his rickely platform, he refeérs to a new and better relationship for the peoples of the eath and holds that America ,"free form menaeing involvement,” must express its.‘“hope for the fraternized conscience of nations.” If this muddied but grandiose thought contemplates another society of nations the candidate evidently expects to fraternize with the conscience of Turkey, Russia and Mexica, for all the other nations are or presently will be members of th only League in- existence and the only League that is ever likely to be in existence. He might have made a tell-| ing point against the Democrats by standing with Mr. Taft in favor of ‘the treaty with the bi-partisan reservations which the President rejected, but fear of both factions of his divided party overcame him and so he stood for nothing tangible. : .

We have colums of commonplaces from- Mr, Harding on the railroads labor and the high cost of: living without a concrete remedy for conditions grave enough to tax the capacity of the ablest (financiers and ecanomists., For the railroads he would have “generous Federal cooperation in construction linked with assurances of maintenance that will put an end to criminal waste of public funds” which is a genralization and a contradiction superficial enough to please all who are inexact in their thinking. Fer the farmer he would take the risks out of agriculture by governmental co-operation, with no restrictions except that there must not. be extortinate prices. ' For labor he wishes “the higher wage to abide on one|explieit condition—that the wageearner wil give full return for the ‘wage received,” which coupled with an instructive treatise on diligence and thrift, is his cure for the high cost of living. ; ; . | Accompanying all these improving maxims of the copy-books we have many repetitions of the not as to party government struck at the beginning of his address. In every case it is the party—the Republican Party, of ‘course—that is to be trusted to solve the problem which the candidate does little more than describe. ’Hms)lpcing himself unreservedly in the keeping of the Senatorial junta, “blearyeyed with loss of sleep) and perspirGt R e L S e

who in a hotel room at midnight arranged for his nomination, Mr. Harlling_emphasizes again and again his antipthy to one-man rule, which is his definition of a responsible Executive and his solemn approval of a syndicated Presidency. From the low level it was only natural that Mr. Harding should sneer at ideals. “Much has' been said of late gbout world-ideals,” he says, ‘‘but I prefer to think of the ideal for America.” What that conception may be is illustrated by the assertion that American 8 are “a - very commonsensical people, with vision high but their feet on the earth, with belief in themselves and faith in God.” And in another place, that we are neither covetus because of ambition nor hesitant through fear, but ready to serve ourselves, humanity and God.” Always ourselves first, always God and humanity last, which is the very gospel of Prussian . Junkertum axg the equally brutal creed of the Old Guard Senators to whom | the ' candidate makes 80 many obeisances. = In such a turgid rigmarole it is a pleasure to find three questions discussed clearly and bodly. Mr. Harding unqualifiedly in favor of the Woman-Suffrage Amendment and -of free speech and press. On the subject -of Prohibition he promises law enforcement, but he takes ocasion to re-mind extremists that “modification or: repeal is the right of a free people whenever the deliberate and intelligent publie sentiment commands.” The other articles of his political - creed, such as taxation, the traiff, foreign trade, shipping, finance, debt and retrenchment, which are perplexing the mastr minds of the earth, are merly aliuded to without plan or policy. After reading and re-reading this address the conclusion must be that if the Chief Magistracy is to be administered by a committee of the United State Senate the man selected for tigurehead has been well chosen—provided he can be elected. =

" THEN ANDP NOW Writing in The Forum magazine in December, 1918 Senator Lodge said: “The president who delivered the war message and the Congress who voted the war would be guilty of the blackest crime if they were willing to make a peace on the status quo ante bellum, and recreate the situation which existed before the war. If we send our armies and young men abroad to be killed .and wounded in northern France and Flanders with no result but this, our entrance into war with such an intention was a crime which nothing can justify. The intent of congress and the intent of the president was that there could be no peace until we could create a situation where no such war as this could recur. We cannot make peace except in company with our allies. It would brand us with everlasting dishonor and bring ruin to us also if we undertook to make a separate peace.” In the face of the above utterance Senator Lodge voted for a upu'm‘ peace and advocated it in his speech of notification to Senator Harding. The republican presidential nominee also advocates a separate peace and expects his party to approve of it by voting ‘him into the presidenial chair.

The Beardsley resolution which passed the Indiana senate petitioning President Wilson to reenvoke fuel control in Indiana was defeated in the house. Beardsley is a republican but the house republicans could not bear the contaimination the petition to a democratic président involved, and they voted against it, Representative Hoffman with the rest. ;

And to think that William J. Bryan would decline a presidential nomination after his wide and varied expérience in the business. He says in declining the nomination tendered him by the prohibition party that he is too much interested in other reforms.to tie his hands with a presidential nomination at this critical time. The retiring editor and the new cupy a good deal ' of.space in last week's issue of the paper in saying

was printed last week owing to shortage of paper. ; A man is held in South Bend who has forgotten his name and lost all powers of reasoning. He probably went daffy trying to determine what is meant by the declarations in the Chicago platform and @ Harding's speech of acceptance. Aaron 8. Watkins has been named presidential nominee by the prohibitionists. This gives Ohlo three cand!dates for the presidency, Indiana has but one, Eugene V. Debs, soclalist. Mr. Debs lives in Terre Haute when at home. : -

-It is openly charged that the national- republican committe has 15.000 chautaugua orators employed at $3O a day. Now the democrats are asking speakers to volunteer their services in the cause of democracy.

Fifteen of the sixteen railway employees unions have accepted the \vuei increase made by the federal board. Now the coal miners propose to strike. It is just one thing after another. The LaGrange Standard insists that if Harding is elected president Hiram W. Johnson ‘will become the big man of the nation. Just how this conclusion is reached is not made plain. - Senator LaFollette has quit- the republican party but Senator Newberry remains faithful to his political allegiance. - - Parts With Her Blood. - Miss Bertha Miller, of Middlebury, underwent an operation for the transfusion of four ounces of blood in the Goshen hospital. Her sister Miss Alice Miller, donated the blood. ' 5
