SOUNDING A CHARGE
Mr. Bryan ;sed to be foud cf tell
ing the story of the French drum
mer boy at Marengo who is alleged
to have saved the day by replying
to the great Napoleon, discouraged
and about ready to quit, in words
somewhat- like these: "I do not
know how to beat a retreat, sire;
oh, let me beat a charge!"
Viewing the proceeding at San
Francisco from across the contin
ent Senator Hitchcock sees Chairman
Cunimings in the role of the drum
mer boy at Marengo. In Cunimings
great keynote speech, the senator
believes, there has been sounded the
clarion call for an offensive and not
a defensive campaign for the league
of nations "a challenge to battle"
that has "aroused at once enthus
iasm and confidence in democratic
ranks." He believes that speech will
mark the turn in the tide; that "we
shall have a wave of public opinion,
gathering force as it goes, powerful
enough to engulf those reactionaries
who are responsible" for the defeat
of the treaty of peace."
Out of the bloody muck of the war
there was snatched the one priceless
trophy the covenant of the league
of nations. It was an agreement j
on the part of the nations involved,
as well as of the n?utral nations, i
that they would use their combined
might hereafter not to make war but
to avert it. Whatever else was bad
and unwise in the treaty of peace
this agreement was good and wise
and glorious. It spoke the aspira
tions of humanity. It embodied the
lofty and tender idealism of the Sav
iour. It formulated and made real
tha prolonged and unsuccessful ef
forts of the world's Lest statesman
ship to banish a devastating horror
which threatens the overthrow cf
civilization with all its fruits. It
sanctified every soldier's grave. It
premised a noble recompense for ev
ery" sacrifice that had been made,
for every home that had been de
stroyed, for every mother's broken
heart.
It was this covenant for peace
the best and not the worst of th2
treaty that, under the flag of parti
sanship, was attacked and destroyed
by ihe reactionaries in the senate of
the United States. And it ' was a
covenant to which the honor and
good faith of the United States had
been pledged pledged to friends,
and pledged to foes!
It is the rescue of this covenant,
the fight 1o keep the faith, to assert
our hoinor as a nation, to redeem
the world from war, that is the su
preme mission of the democratic
party in the approaching campaign.
BE HERE!

And it is the duty of the convention
at San Francisco to choose a leader
for that great light and sound the
charge.
Senator Hitchcock is not alone
among thoughtful and conservative
observers in believing that it will be
a charge to victory.
The "compromise and cowardice"
in which the Chicago convention
was steeped have disgusted millions
of the progressive, courageous and
intelligent men and women of this
republic. In a time of great tur
moil and uncertainty they are. look
ing and have been looking to the
statesmanship cf the land for leader
ship and inspiration. The republi
can convention gave them none of
it. "it sang its hymn of hate, ig
nored and dodged and equivocated as
to great issues, sank its stiletto into
the covenant of peace, named' its re
actionary ticket, and adjourned.
Senator Harding's- recent utter
ances only go to confirm the hope
lessness of securing statsmanlike
guidance and relief through the re
publican party.
When the great issues and por
tentous problems and dangers call
for great leadership, when they are"
demanding the services of men of
vision and courage, Senator Hard
ing offers only this:
"Governor Coolidgo. breakfasted
with me this morning and we have
agreed that we will base the cam
paign on an appeal to restore party
government as a constitutional sub
stitute for personal government."
A campaign for party government!
No matter what the difiicultics with
which we struggle. No matter about
the issues Simply write a blank
check to Harding and Coolidge. They
will give us "party government" and
that will dissipate all our wots, lift
our heavy burdens and solve our
problems!
"We can't tell you wliere we"r
going, we dare not tell you what
we're for but trust the republican
party!"
And the great question whether
the old world, whether all the lands
of all our fathers, shall be permitted
to sink in ruins after we have
fought a great war to preserve them
as well as ourselves from a mon
strous menace, Senator Harding dis
misses thus cavalierly:
"It is very practical to make sure
our own house is in perfect order
before we attempt the miracle of old
world stabilisation."
Wait wait till your own house
is "in perfect order" before you hep
put out a fire in a neighbor's house
that threatens also your ownf
Was there ever a more hopeless, a
a more stupid rule of action, if even
of utterly selfish action, than that?
It was not in that voice .that
America tpoke three years ago. It
was noi in that spirit i' acted. It
was not by such an ideal it was
inspired.
Surely, under the protidence of
a righteous and pitiful God, the con
vention at San Francisco will beat
a charge! World-Herald.
