York in 1881.
We Believe

Name
There are three P's in peace—pro-
din t ion, prosperity and progress.
Ratify the treaty!
Chairman Graham, republican, of |
the special House committee to fiml
cut why a democratic administration [
von the world war, and how, attacks
the Council of National Defense for
ante-bellum preparation. As a large!
majority of the republican members of
( onirress voted against all American
legislation prior to our entrance into
the war, then assailed the administra-
tion for not preparing, and next noisily
voted for nil war measures, it would
seem that a charge of inconsistency
i- in irder. Also, Mr. Graham over-
looks thi.' fact that the majority of the i
Council were republicans. Perhap-:
lie has not found that out vet.
Some of the best republican oratory
now to lie heard has for its theme,
"Mow Not to Do It."
The high cost of living is greatly
aggravated by the necessity of living
through a republican Congress.
The republican Congress has been
prevented from passing bills by its
engrossment in an effort to "pass the
buck."'
Most of the soldiers have been de
mobilized, but they are still fighting
for fair recognition from a repuh
l .-an Congress.
Did the republican Senators con-
sult President Wilson for information
or was it their purpose to get another
pretext for talking for two monthsT
Apparently republicans in Congress
believe that there can he no move to-
ward "reconstruction" until after they
have wrecked the constructive work of
lb last democratic Congress.
Republican Congressmen who are
traveling thousands of miles to inves-
t igate what happened last year are
failing thereby to observe the evi-
dence of what is going to happen to
tliem next year.
No one would be so foolish as to al-
lege that all republicans are profit-
eers, but the present leaders of Con-
gress are acting as if they strongly
suspected that all profiteers are re-
publicans.
If ti Congressional committee trav-
els 7.000 miles in a private car for
thirty-five days to "investigate" par-
tisan' charges respecting what happen-
ed last year, what is the price per
yard of ancient history?
Senator Borah's threat to quit the
republican party if the League of Na-
tions covenant is ratified is another
reason why many republicans favor
ratification.
"The abundant capacity of republic-
an leadership to make mistakes." No,
the quotation is not from a democrat.
It is from Senator Kenyon of Iowa
Surely, Senator, you didn't have Sena-
tor Lodge or Chairman Hays in mind?
Had it not been for the veto of a
democratic President and the insis-
tence of democratic Senators and
representatives, the disabled Americ-
ans would have gone a begging as re-
gards adequate vocational training.
But the republican party could have
pointed to another example of party
efficiennry in saving the nation's
money.
Senator Sherman agrees that war
is what (ieneral Sherman said it was,
especially when it was fought under a
democratic administration and when a
democratic president negotiates the
greatest part of peace ever written,
and is instrumental in forming a so-
ciety of nations that will give the
world its first promise that there will
be no more wars.
Chairman Hays favors a League of
Nations, favors the Knox resolution
and the other obstructive tactics of
the republican Senators, favors the
iers as well as the departments
republican plan of short-dealing with
soldiers as well as the departments
that are taking the leadership in the
country's industrial and social reeon
struction—in fact, favors most any-
thing you happen to ask Willie about.
He is nil things to all men.
HARMONY
DISTURBED
There seems to be a slight rift in
the lute of republican harmony in Con
gress. Judging from recent debate
in the House and Senate, there exist in
both branches difference of opinion
among the leaders as to policies and
as to the adaptation of them.
\t the beginning of this Congress,
when the republicans took over con-
trol of House and Senate and assum-
ed responsibility for legislation, they
announced specific policies upon which
there was concord and declared these
policies would be carried into effect.
C:iief among them was economy in
public expenditures, a promise which
c: lied forth applause from the entire
country. Retrenchment was to be
the watchword; the public treasury
whs to be protected; war expenses
were to be reduced
The House committees on military
affairs and naval affairs in training
the appropriations for the army and
nii\ \ made reductions far below thi
estimates of the departments and gave
premise that the policy of economy
would be carried into effect most sat-
isfactorily Rut when these bills
reached the Senate hundreds of mil-
lions in appropriations were added to
them, thus very materially weakening
th • republican claim of economy. And
in conference agreements were reach-
ed with respect to them which left the
perfected bills lower in their totals
than fixed by the Senate, but many
millions greater than the House had
voted .
Consequently the conference reports
were opposed by Floor Leader Mondell
and the House witnessed the spectacle
of the republican party in Congress
very spiritedly divided on the quett ion
of war appropriations, with the party
leader in open criticism of 'h" work of
two of the principal committees This
lack of harmony was the cause of
great glee for the democrats, whose
divided ranks in 'lie previous Congress.
had been the theme of frequent and
caustic comment by republicans.
In the Senate a similar situation de- 1
veloped when the conference report |
on the sundry civil bill was under con-
sideration. The conferences had elim-
inated a $20,000 appropriation to pay :
the expense of an investigation into
the budget system with a view to the
adoption of this system by Congress. |
another of the policies to which the
republicans had plighted their troth
Senator Kenyon. of Iowa, one of the
militant liberal republicans, took occa-
sion to criticize this omission very,
pointedly and to call attention to the
solemn pledge which had been ignored.
He referred to the "submarining" of
this movement for a budget system
by the Old Guard, and intimated it
would be better frankly fo state to the
public that the party had no inten-
tion of carrying out its pledge
These and numerous other incidents
cropping out in the course of debate
indicate a lack of complete unity of
purpose among republicans which may
eventually have an important bearing
upon the forthcoming presidential
campaign. For if the representatives,
of the party in Congress are unable to
present a united front on policies and
fail to agree upon putting these poli-
cies into effect, what chance has the
party of securing the unity in the cam-
paign so necessary to its success?
It is too early to talk of candidacy,
but it is certain that the democratic
party will enter the next campaign
with a keen determination to win, who-
ever the standard bearer may be, and
with the successful prosecution of the
war as their rallying cry. To wrest
control from them the republicans
must have a united party, witn all fac-
tions and shades of opinion fused,
harmonious as to purposes and ideals,
and prepared to give a demonstration
of teamwork such as they have not
shown since the memorable revolution
of 1912. The family squabbles now
going on are not conducive to that con-
dition.—Washington Post.

\I.\KING THEMSELVES
RIDICULOUS
One of the republican newspapers
floats over the fact that certain re-
publican Senators do not indicate a
willingness to accept the President's
nvitation to visit the White House
ind discuss with him the terms of the
peace treaty.
Among the absentees are certain
enators who have been loudest in
iamnation of the treaty : nd condem
i nation of the President, no matter
a hat he may or may not do. And
' one of the things they hive damn-d
lini loudest for was his alleged ten
iency to "go it alone," to refuse to
uhe Senators into Ins confi lence.
Hut now that the treaty is ready
and the Senate's innings are at hand,
' these Senators who have been most
! vociferous in their denunciation arc-
not disposed to take advantage of the
ipportunity they have lieen so loudly
demanding, to go over the treaty's
I provisions with the President.
It is strange that critics of this type
are so blind that they cannot see that
they are making themselves ridicu-
lous; that they cannot understand that
his position will become impregnable
because of their refusal of the oppor-
tunity to go over the terms of the
treaty and the articles of the league
covenant freely and frankly with him.
He was instrumental in the drafting;
he is more familiar with the terms
than they. Is it not their duty under
their oath of office to ; ain all the
information they may from him or
any other source, so they can more in-
telligently discharge their duty when
the time comes to vote on ratification
We believe the American people feel
that it is.
OOES YOUR BACK ACHE ?
If Senator Borah really wants a
referendum on the League of Nations,
and does "represent a very intelli-
gent and patriotic constituency," he
can obtain a quick answer by resign-
ing his toga and returning to Idaho
for vindication. Perhaps his reluc-
tance is due to a recollection of what

SENATOR LODGE
AMI SHANTUNG
Republican "strbng men'' in the Sen-
ate, and particularly Senator Lodge,
long noted for his familiarity with and
interest in foreign affairs, are moved
to tears over the "crime of Shantung."
liecause of Japan's acquisition of the
territory that Germany grabbed from
China, Senator Lodge and others would
reject the peace treaty and throw the
League of Nations covenant into the
boneyard.
It is more than passing strange that
Senator Lodge should suddenly de-
velop so deep an interest in China's
territorial integrity after the lapse
of twenty-one years during which he
was silent and stone cold on that sub-
ject.
It was in 1897-98 that the interna-
tional robbery was committed and
Shantung passed to the possession of
Germany. Senator Lodge was then
in the Senate, President McKinlev was
in the White House, the republicans
were in control everywhere. Senator
Teller and some leadrs of the opposi-
tion party denounced the dismember-
ment of China and declared it be
America's duty to "join with Great
Britain in a notice to Russia and Ger-
many that dismemberment will not be
permitted."
Did Senator Lodge define a similar
attitude for himself: Not until the
lapse of twenty-one years, then to sud-
denly burst into tears, to be moved to
intense indignation by the transfer of
a bit of territory from one internation-
al robber to another strong-arm na-
tion whose title is at least no worse
than was that of the imperalistic
