o. OPPOSITC
"wKA'kTtAL Off lit
Probably to none in this country
has Senator Harding brought more
distress so far in his campaign than
to those of his own party who have
sincere opinions regarding the league
of nations. With advisers on both
sides at his elbow, the result has been
a meandering of words of vague
meaning and to vagueness has been
added contradiction and "reserva
tion.'" While seeking to conceal his
real hostility to the league with the
suggestion ot an "association" or a
"society" of nations, he continues to
hold the loyal support of Johnson and
Uorah, who very properly appraise
the statements of the candidate ac
cording to facts as they know them.
To still further befog the thor
oughly advised candidate for the of
fice of president. Senator Lodge adds
his contribution in a statement last
Saturday. It would bo wrong, he
said, for his party to make "anv
pledges" as to what it "would do
with the league of nations seven
months hence," since conditions are
"changing every day." "And", says
the Times, "what are republican
principles for except to change with
them?'' The Times further quotes
Ledge: "It may be impossible to
ratify with reservations." and ad
vises the senator- that "ratify" is a
had word for him to use, since the
"treaty then is not that ghastly
corpse for which the republicans
have been demanding disinfectants
and speedy burial."
Such is the wretched situation in
which the republican Dartv finds it
self as a result of seeking to justify
the policy which began iong agTi in
the course of the partisan, small
minded and selfii; oligarchy of the
senate. With the rrcatest opportun
ity for America's hearty participa
tion and even leadership in a new
era of nations, with the hope of pre
venting future great wars, and with
at least the opportunity of casting
the great influence of this great re
public on the right side, we are given
the spectacle of Harding, the can
didate today. It is certainly not too
much to believe that the people of
this country, the voters, both men
and women, will find their way to
the hearts of this great issue. No
effort of evasion or policy of negation
will stand the test in the next two
months. Increasing strength will
come to the candidate who says simp
ly and without quibble "I favor going
in."
In a leading editorial the Phila
delphia Public Ledger discusses the
reasons why bol.-hevism cannot gain
headway in this country. "The an
swer", says the ledger, "is the
simple setting out of what has heen
done in American life for the com
forts, the conveniences, the health,
the happiness and the prosperity of
the people as a whole by private in
itiative and government agencies."
There is argument in that, but if bv
petligogging. misrepresenting and
betraying republican party politi
cians should fool the American pub
lic on the issue of the league of na
tions, considerations yet more import
ant would influence the people than
the possession of conveniences, of
present comforts and even of present
prosperity. There is a deep seated
aversion to the repetition or imita
tion of another world war; there is a
very large agreement on the abstract
proposition of a league of nations
for peace and orderliness. To trifle
with that feeling is dangerous, but
after all we do not believe the Amer
ican people are going to be fooled.

'their action vitally affect farming
interests the same as other interests,
and should therefore Include in their
membership men who know some
thing about farming and its needs
because they are farmers themselves
Why not?
We are accustomed to speak of ag
ricultural as the backbone of our na
tional greatness and prosperity, and
it is the truth. Farming is our basic
i industry. If it prospers all other
!i industries will prosper. If it exper
iences reverses the effect is felt by
! every business and by every citizen
let the tendency of government
has been too much paternal with re
spect to other industries, like man
ufacturing, shipping and transporta
tion, and too much neglectful of
farming, the most important of them
all. Government is turned over very
largely to lawyers and bankers and
business men and scholars and then
we wonder why agriculture decays
and there is so ominous a movement
from the farms to the cities!
It is all wrong, a great mistake
and Governor I ox, himself a practi
cal "dirt" farmer, realizes it and
proposes to remedy it.
His remedy is simple and direct.
(Jive the farmers greater representa
tion and so more power in the con
trol of. government. They are as
much interested as any business man
or banker in the control of the fed
eral reserve system: in the interstate
commerce commission; in the bank
ing commission. Very well. then,
why not give them representation in
these bodies? Why not let the
the voice of the farmer be heard
where it will count for something?
It is a remedy as practical as it is
simple. It is preposterous to say
that there are not farmers to 1k
fotind just as well qualified, by ex
perience and education and
to serve the country on these
ant boards as can be found
other walk of life.
It is time to give the farmer a fair
chance for his white alley along
with the lawyers. Governor Cox
proposes to do it. World-Herald.
