THE LIGONIER BANNER, LIGONIER, INDIANA.
The Searchlight is a publication of Washington, D. C, which aims to seek out and fiq public the records of senators and congressmen. It is distinctly antagonistic to ‘President Wilsou on a large number of matters and in nothing does its bias appear to be democratic. Rather, it represents the unmodified progressive d&octrine of Roosevelt in 1918; o 3 _Recently the Searchlight published a summary and then a detailed accournt of Mr. Harding's record in the senate. The following are some excerpts from that account: - ‘ “Harding probably ranks belsw every other semator in initiative, activity and accomplishment. - < “Neither his friends nor lisx enemios can connect his name with a single outstanding fssue, good or bad. - . “He was absent or dodged 1,163 rool calls: and quorum calls “All the bills and resolutions he introduced were local or private ia charscter except eight. None of these eight exceptions was of big importance. : e
* “His senaté speeches, as will b shown, were halting, inconsistent and generlly. {ljogical, with always a reactionary point of view. “On the prohibitions issue, he is a “wet” having voted for the liquor interests thirty times to two against. ~ “He-stood consistently against con‘servation, voting several times for the vicious Shields power bill. * ' - "On every important test between capital and labor he voted with the former. - o : ; - “He opposed publicity of profiteering figures, o - ~“He favored secret diplomacy by opposing the open consideration of treaties in the senate. - e . “He opposed the appointment of Louis D. Brandeles to 'the Supreme court. ' : . - - - “He opposed the European food relief bill. A - . . “He opposed disarmament for all nations. - . e
“He voted and spoke for conscription as a permanent policy.” ' .There is a great deal more of the same sort, all backed up by chapter and verse for the Congressional Record. Finally, the Searchlight sums up Mr. Harding as follows: “The senate today stands at the lowest ebb of - statesmanship ever known.. The average ability of its members is below that of any other period. Yet, undoubtedly, Hardihg is at the very bottom of the list.” ' Severe as this judgment is, how much can it be modified, in veiw of the facts as previously cited? - "TRY TO PUT ONE OVER That senatorial clique headed bv Senators Lodge and Penrose responsible for the defeat of ratification of the peace treaty and the league of nation covenant strated out withi the object of gaining control of the goverament and administering it along stanapat reactionary lines. And Senator Watson, of Indiana, is in the donspiracy. After ratification of the treaty of Versailles had been defeated the reactionary groap of senators started out to “put one over” on the American people. The ignoring of preferential primary election choices at the Chica--80 convention and the nomination of Senator Harding, one of the tractable .members of their group, was but a stcp in the direction of their aims. Then followed the campaign of falsehood and mispresentation of which the voters are fully advised. A play has been made for the support of all the racial groups in the country and the aims and hopes of the plain American -voter has been ignored on the theery no doubt that republicans will support ‘the candidate of the party no matter what he stands for or what the platform promises. The result of the election Nov. 2 will tell whether or
not the thing has been put over on the people as planped by the senatorial group more than a year ago. _ ~ WE CANNOT TELL. * No, dear reader, it is imposible to tell where Senator Harding stands on the league of nations issue today as no-bulletin has been received showing his attitude for the past twenty-four hours. The latest bulletin from the front porch - indicated great indecision. s : ¢
No matter what virtues Gov. Cox may Jack he is firm and consistent. This is shown on his stand with reference to the oujstanding issues of the campaign. He made has position plain on the League of Nations in his letter of acceptance and he still stands firmly on that declaration. Mr. Harding has wiggled and wobbled until he has occupied eleven differgnt positions and still he seems to be unsettled. If he has no fixed convictions as a candidate what would be his disposition as president of the United States?l Spare us the humiliation.
Gov. Cox believes that the Amerijcan soldiers performed a better service overseas than a “campaign of bad manners” as charged by Harding, and has endorsed the American Legion four-fold plan for re-adjusted compensation. The republican platform adopted at Chicago contains not one word of praise for our matchless soldiers in the world war nor has the republican presidential candidate a good word for even the fighting qualities of the service men. Why these omissions? - : . Efforts are being made by the standpat leaders of the republican party to devert attemntion from the main issues ‘n the campaign by directing their fire ‘&t President Wilson and members of his cabinet. President Wilson is not a car Yidate nor are any members of his abing L seeking office. ' The vital iss in this eampaign is the leaguc of

Werker. son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Werker and well known in Ligonier, is charged in the Elkhart circuit court with wife desertion. }Werkér was a soldiér in the world war and contractedd a marriage about the time he entered the service. The yourg man served his country with distine ition.’ Whether he regretted his matrimonial’ venture or took .a disiike to his wife none seem to. know, bat when he received an honorable discharge a year ago he Immediately reoenlisted as a single man. Since his retirement the second time Werker has remained in Chicago and shown no disposition to come. to his home in Benton township nor recognize his wife. The young ex-soldier is out on £3OO bond to answer in the Elkhurt circuit court. L - A Text From the Battle-Line, Retreats are honorable, often necessary, but the youth for America could not understand it, or they could not harmonize it with their purpose. It is said our missing dead in the World ' War is relatively the smallest in the records of warfare. The explanation is that no Amercian battle-line moved rearward over our glorious dead — Senator Harding at Fremont, O ' The only American battie-line that has moved rearward over our glorious dead is that whose supreme command is lodged in the Republican cabal controling the United States Senate, of which Mr. Harding is now genéeralissimo in the field. .
Some retreats, indeed are honorable and some are. necessary but the Republican retrograde movement is neither. It iz an inexcusable abandonment of our glorious dead and the cause for which they offered up the:r lives. It amounts even to a denial that the irresistible advance of our youtn against the enemy was either honorable or necessary, says ’he«.\"ew York World. If Ameéricans generally were as ill-disposed to retreat as their armed representatives in Europe, the record of missing Rpublican politicians would be something frightful to contemplate. - - ~ Kodak finishing Hieber Stndio.
