DEGRADATION OF A GREAT PARTY © The Declaration of Independence affirmed these doctrines: T “That all. men are created equal “That they are endowed by their Creator with . certain inalienable rights. o B ' “That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” o What the Declaration of Independence proclaimed in behalf of the individual, the covenant of the League of Nations proclaims in behalf of nations says the New York World. They too are created equal, not in respect to wealth or population or power or territory, but in respect to certain inalienable rights. Among these rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, none of which can be achieved except as the strong respect the rights of the weak, and pledge themsélves .to help preserve those rights. e : -

This is what Article X does and hence Article X is what President Wilson called - it—"the heart of the covenant”™ W

There was a time when the American people believed in the Declaration of Independence but did not practise the principles set forth in it. While affirming the -general principle that all men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights they nevertheless maintained the institution of human slavery in dsfiance of the “self-evident” truths of the Declaration, And, strangley enough the Democratic Party, . whose first great leader was the author of the Declaration of Independence, became the political bulwark of the slave system. ' : :

The Republican Party which came into existence as the champion of human freedom, has now forgotten its origin and its traditions. It is no longer the champion of human freedom. It has set up the doctrine that the weak among nations have no rights that the strong are bound to respect, and purposes to re-establish that doctrine as a guilding policy among nations. o

That is what the Republican opposition to Article X means. Mr. Root thunders against it. Mr. Harding says he will not resubmit to the Senate the treaty of peace with Article X. Mr. Taft, who was once an ardent defender, now attacks President Wilson for refusing to sacrifice the guarantees and securities of the smalil nations. A o

"~ The Republican Party, through its leaders, is definitely committed to ‘the proposition that the United States is

indifferent to wars of conquest, that it does not care whose derritory is stolen or whose political independence is submerged. or whose national life is ~ All the fine rhetoric of the Republican campaign orators four years agd in denouncing the invasion of Belglum is found, when put to the test of party politics, to have been-—just fine rhetoric. That and nothing mor: Although a war that cost more than 10,000,000 lives and $300,000,000,000 in money and productivity originated in the determination 'of a great nation to crush a small nation, the Republican Party refuses to permit the United States to belp insure the world agains. the repelition of such a tragedy. It inkists that the Bighth Commandment “Thou shalf not steal,” must not be made a rule of interpational conduct.

The Republican Party is willing to Lave international courts, provided there are to be no means of enforcing the decrees of such courts. It is willing to have.the shadow of the Leagus of Nations, provided the substance is taken away. What it refuses to have is a League in which the naifons are pledged to prevent wars of conquest and the destruction of the political institutions of thes mall peoples who cannot ‘protect themselve®”™ The Republican Party, in other words, while still opposed to the slavery of one iudividual by another sees no serious objection to the slavery of one nation by another—to the political servituda of any people that cannot take care of itself. :

Article X. is unquestionably the most enlightened step forward in international relations that has ever been proposed. It did not originate with President Wilson. Many. Republicans, including Theodore Roosevel*, William H. Taft and Henry Cabot Lodge, had advocated it before President Wilson made it one of the conditions of peace and brought about its adoption by all the great Governments of the world—except our own. But because¢ Woodrow Wilson wrote this principle into the covenant of the League of Nations, the Republican Party will not have it and insists that the principle must be repudidted by everybody else before the United States joins the League of Nations.

It is to this state of sordid and seifish degradation that the party of Abraham Lincoln finds itself reduced on the sixtieth anniversary" of the election of the Great Emancipator. YOTING REQUIREMENTS Vote sarly. = ; The women are advised to visit their precincts as early as possibie Tuesday, Nov. 2, and cast their ballots. . . Women need hot feel any hesitancy about asking information o fthe election boards if they do not fully understand stamping or folding their ballots. They have a right to seek such information. J s There uo'ntwo ballots and each voter must Inark them, fold them separately and return them to the election oficer who will place them i the proper boxes. : ; v " The ballots should be so folded that the initials of the election clerks appear on the outside.

The ballots are arranged so the democratic ticket appears second on the ballots while the republican candidate appear in the first column.

To vote a straight ticket mark an x in the cirle surrounding the emblem at the top. The democratic emblem is a rooster while the republican is an eagle. ‘ - If the voter desires to vote a mixed or scratched ticket do not make an X in the circle but put one before the name of each candidate for whom you desire 'to vote, voting for only one candidate for the same office. L

Do not put any distinguishing mark on your ballot or mutilate it or it wiil be thrown out. Only those who are registered can vote at the election Tuesday. i o

NOT TO BE OVERLOOKED

- In the discussion of the big issues of the campadign the lesser ones may be overlooked and yet it is home matters which affect us most directly. Executive and legislative administrations are important and influence local interests, but these departments of government may be conducted by men of ordinary fitness for the official ection of such administrators are guided by public sentiment. Their duties are laid out largely by law and precedent but with the judiciary it is different. While a judge on the bench is charged with an unprejudiced and impartial administration of the laws, yet there are constant questions before him the decision of which requires cool judgment and broad consideration. .

A mere law clerk with a cirecumscribed learning along fixed lines cannot make an acceptable judge. In the present election a judge is to be chosen for the Noble-Whitley joint circuit court who will hold office for six years:. Of the fitness of candidates the attorneys practicing at the bar are the best judges. They are a part of the court and to them and their clients the judgeship question appeals more strongly than to the average voter who does not expect to go into court. The judgment of the attorneys at the bars o fthe two counties should be accepted as a safe guide to follow at the polls and before casting their ‘ballot the people should ascertain if possible the preference of the bar. It may prove ‘enlightening to the voters to know that the Noble county bar is a unit for David V. Whiteleather of Columbia City, partisan polities fades into nothingness in the consideration of this judicial question.| Tn fact the question of fitness of the candidates for judge rises far above partisanship, therefore if any voter doubts the statements made herein| let him consult any attorney in Nobie| obumty, o hewe et f

- Prof. .Fuirfield received $l5OO from the national republican committee to help finance his eampaign for congress in the Twelfth m&on_a’ti district. This means that the Angola’ professor is weak and needs the assistance that only money can buy. Joseph R. Harrison, democratic nominee, is financing his own campaign; forming no alliances with hig business to secure funds which must later be paid back ten fold in service. It reelected the money bags will hold a mortgage on Mr. Falrfield and will foreclose it at the proper time. He will not represent the peopla of the Twelfth congressional district but the men in high financial places who have him bought and paid for. The voters will do well to consider ‘this situation before casting their ballots next Tuesday. e . The republican state committee of Indiana has a big advertisement ia the state party press in which many imaginary issues are mentioned but the league of nations is stadiously omitted. - e After a hunger strike lasting<73 days Terrence MacSwiney, lork mayor of Cork, Ireland, died last Monday morning. He passed a martyr to Irish free\»dom. ; : , i : ~ The saperior court of Marion coun1y has upheld the new tax law enacted at the special session of the legis}gamm legalizing . the horizontal raises made by the state board of tax commissioners in 1919 held invalid by ‘the Indiana supreme court. The case will now go to thé higher judicial tribunal for a decision where it is believed the supreme court will not reverse itself. e

M. E. Pastor To Vote For League, Clinton, Ind., 0ct.21--The Rev. E. Francis pastor of the ‘Methoilist Episcopal church of this city, hss made a public statement of why he is going to vote for Cox and Roosevelt and the League of Nations, although a 2 republican of life long standing “I am an American and a republican.” he says, “but 1 dont think half as much of mv republicanism as [ do ot my Americanism. In other words, | am not & partisan republican. The issues of this campaign are not partisan, but 'fhey are fssues that involve justice, fidelity, human brotherhood and the nation's honor. Every other issue is eclipsed by the League of Nations. and no question since the civil war has bulked so large in human thought as this. e . “When the League covenant was brought to this country it met witn the approval of the rank and file of .American people. The républican pirty, save for the senatorial oligarchy indorsed. the league with certain protecting safeguards and reservations. The American people are a unit and since have been for the league. The best minds of the country urged the adoption of the League, including Taft, Hoover, Lowell, Root, Wickersham, Lowden, Wood, Eliot, Hadley, the Amercian Federation of Labor and colleges and universities.” ..
