HE SPOKE FOR THE NATION
William P. McCombs, former
chairman of the democratic national
committee, in an interview opposing
the league of nations covenant, says:
"They tell us that America has
pledged its word to Europe and that
this word must be redeemed in the
priK-ess of a national campaign. In
my belief. America has pledged It
slf to nothing. One individual,
speaking as such, permitted Kurope

to believe that he spoke for America.
But he had no authority to speak for
a nation, for in the last analysis he
was nothing but a self-appointed
emissary. "
This statement is untruthful in its
essence and wholly misleading. It
is refuted by the constitution of the
United States and by the plain and
undisputed facts of history. It is
worthy of attention because it epito
mizes a false doctrine that opponents
of the league in both parties are
preaching everywhere with a view
deliberately to deceiving the people.
To say that the president "had. no
authority .to speak for the nation"
because he was ''nothing but a self
appointed emissary", is drivelling
nonsense.
His authority to speak for the na
tion was given him by the people of
the United States themselves when
they elected him president and vested
him with the powers of the chief ex
ecutive under the constitution. When
the nation was swept into the mael
strom of world war Woodrow Wilson,
under the constitution, was not only
the duly elected president; he was
commander-in-chief of the army and
navy and was vested with the power
to make treaties, "by and with the
advice and consent of the senate",
and to appoint ambassadors and peace
commissioners.
There is but one man in war who
can speak for the nation, and that
man is the president.
.
When President Wilson, during
the progress of the war, at the time
of the armistice, and when the peace
treaty was framing, spoke for a
league of nations, and spoke for a
joint use by the members of their
economic and military power again. t
any nation that shiiuld launch arj a.?
gressive war without first submitting
its cause for consideration and in
quiry, he spoke not only "with the
advice and consent of the senate" but
of the whole congress and the entire
American people.
This plan of world organization
for peace had been urged, before it
was ever invoked by tht president, by
Theodore Roosevelt, by William II.
Taft, by Elihu Root, by Henry Cabot
Iodge, and by other eminent repub
lican leaders.
When Mr. Wilson proclaimed it us
president as one of the objects for
which America fought, not a voice
was raised in opposition or protest
in.either house of congress, or by any
representative leader of either party.
When he included it in. the terms
of the armistice it was accepted by
the common acclaim c.f congress, and
the people.
' When Germany accepted the armis
tice on taht condition there was still
no voice raised in America against
it.
If congress was opposed to this
plan, if the senate was opposed, if the
republican party was opposed, if the
people were opposed, the time to
make opposition known, and active,
was during the eriod of its formula
tion and acceptance. There was no
such opposition.
During the year and a half that
elapsed between the president's an
nouncement of "the heart of the
league" plan and the submission of
the treaty to the senate, no repub
lican senator found anything to com
plain of. Neither did any democratic
senator. When the first draft of the
treaty was submittrd to Elihu Root
he found no fault with Article v,
nor did Chairman Hay. When the
plan of Mr. Tafts "League to En
force Peace", providing for the or
ganized protection of the political
and territorial integrity of all na
tions, was submited, ip 191 fi, to the
350.000 members of the National
Chamber of Commerce, 96 per cent
of them responded favorably. The
churches, organized labor, organized
agriculture, the colleges, were equal
ly on record as favorable:
If ever there was a time when it
could be said, on the basis of. undis
puted evidence, that the heart and
will of the United States were voiced
by the president, that time was when
President Wilson spoke for organized
peace and went to Paris to fight for
it
President Wilson spoke the will of
the people. He fought for it. He
carried it out. He won for it a
splendid victory.
. And it was only after the victory
tras Ts-on. after the league to preserve
peace v-as agreed to by the oth?r
nations, after its establishment was
begun, that the voice of opposition,
partisan and personal, began to make
itself heard.
Every other nation in Europe was
entitled to believe and did believe,
because of the unanimous support
given the president throughout the
period leading up to the peace con
ference, that the whole United States
was back of Woodrow Wilson in liis
efforts to establish the leagu? of na
tions voice, his pledge its pledge.
These are the facts. And these
facts make the issue very plain. It
is whether the United States shall
keep faith or break faith. World

AN INCREDIBLE NOMINATION
The Palmer boomers are descend
ing on San Francisco, it is reported,
with a claim to 500 votes for their
candidate on the first ballot.: The
reason that they may even do better,
since with McAdoo out. Palmer is the
only administration candidate left.
And is not a president in office able
always to nominate his successor?
The republican party has usually
been r.ble to rely upon the democrats
for able n ;istance in electing its can
didates. When tlu republicans make
bad breaks, the democrats generally
manage to so them one or two bet
ter. The nomination of the attorney
general by the democrats would be
really better luck, however, than the
republican party cr any opposing
party has a right to expect. One
cannot believe that the Palmer irrSn.
backed even as they are by the big
Pennsylvania delegation, can reall
hope for the nomination of the most
vibrant false alarm which has been
set a-going in American politics in
the last half dozen years.
If the democrats are to win this
year it will have to be by virtue ot
tlements estranged at Chicago. Tht
most important of these element.'
probably will be organized labor.
The democrats cannot win without
a large preponderance of the labor
vote. Palmer's injunction proceed
ing in the teal strike last winter lost
him friends everywhere because of
its futility, but it made labor love
him as men love snakej. On this ac
count, tie nomination of Palmei
would be a great boost for the com
ing third party. But it would amount
to the ebandonment of the campaign
by the democrats.
If the democrats are to win thev
must also convin.-c the country that
they can and will do-more to ease
the. price situation than the republi
cans can cr will do. Mr. Palmer ha;
been the- administration's champion
of lower prices for the la.-t bitter
year. lie has talked very much about
reducing prices. And all the time
prices have soared. The price of su
gar has nearly trebled right under
Mr. Palmer's nose. Glorious candi
date he would be on an anti-profiteering
platform. N
Perhaps the most vital need of the
country now is respect tor law. Pal
mer stands convicted by theevidencc
of a dozen of the most noted lawyers
cf the country as the promoter of on?
of the most lawless series cf official
acts this country ha ever seen. The
fact that his acts were .in these cases
directed against weak and ignorant
and in some cases vicious men but
makes them the more contemptible.
And where should we be with such
a man in the white house?
Fortunately, he would never get
within a thousand miles of the white
house. If the democratic convention
cannot s?e that, happy the republi
can candidates. State Journal.

"I could tell you in a few words
what I think of Tahlac, but I can
never get through praising it for
what it has done for me," said J. O.
Lauder, 1427 Dean avenue, Ues
Moines, Iowa, a few days ago.
Mr. Lauder has been a telegraph
operator for more tha'u twenty years
and is. now night operator for" the C
R. I. & P. railroad. Rock Island sta
tion, Des Moines.
"I have been taking medicines for
ten years," added Mr. Lauder, try
ing to get rid of a case of stomach
trouble. Years ago I realized I was
playing a losing game, for I kept get
ting worse but did not know what
o do to help myself. Until Tanlac
'ixed my stomach up here recently I
hadn't enjoyed a good meal in years.
had become so nervous and irri
'able that 1 had to guard myself to
cep the ordinary things of life from
getting me all upset and unstrung.
I managed to keep at work most of
'he time, but was very much wor
ried as I f.lt that I was right on
he verge of a nervous breakdown.
My sleep did not rest me and work
lad become a burden to me.
"A few months ago my wife and I
went on a visit down in Missouri
ind found her sister so improved
hat we hardly knew her on first
;i.aht. She told us Tanlac did it, so
;i our return I got a bottle and, af
ef taking two doses I began to feel
tetter. I am feeling like a man made
lew. My :!jretite is so ravenous
hat meal-time comes too slow, and
'. can eat j;it anything and every
thing and not have any trouble from
t. Mv nerves were never netter; l
deep like a baby and get up thor
oughly rested and ready for work.
: feel more grateful than I can find
vords to express for what Tanlac
ns done for me, and I am glad of
be opportunity to make a statement
"r what it may be worth to others
vho are trying to find relief."
Tanlac i.i told in Plattsmoutb by
F. (J. Fricke and Company and the
leading druggist in every town.
Why That Headache ?
When you know the cause of a di
sease a cure may often be effected.
This is particularly true of headache.
Headache often results from consti
pation or a disordered condition of
the stomach which may be corrected
by taking a dose or two of Chamber
lain's Tablets. Try it. These tab
lets are easy to take and mild and
gentle in effect. .
