n REDS ENEMIES OF DEMOCRACY, IS WORD OF GEDDES British Ambassador to U. S., fln Speech Before Barristers, k Says They Oppose Ideas of Lincoln. St Louis, Aug. 25. The bolshc . viki were pictured as enemies demo-acy, of Lincoln's idea of gov ernment of the people, by the people, 'n an address by Sir Auckland Geddes, delivered before the Ameri can Bar association's annual conven tion here today. The British am bassador declared that the bolshe vtki were the real reactionaries en deavoring to establish a priviliged :lass called the proletariat; to force 9n society a great idea, regardless f whether society wanted it. Sir Auckland declared rtiat Great Britain and the United States "are co-trustees for humanity that the theory and practice of democracy j Shall not suffer distortion or dimuni on in spite of avalanches of assault loosed upon it by its enemies." He laid that democracy should be pro tected from the attacks y ."all who desire to benefit humanity through some great idea of incalculable good, bv all who as individuals seek for themselves privileges over their fcl- j fows and deny the equality of ,meh j before the law." j Defines Qovernmetit Idea. ' j Sir Auckland defined the idea of I novernment that constitutes the I precious heritage for which the two nations are co-trustees as being 'First, that the revelation of the di vine will is made to man through the understanding cf alt men; lecond, that this can be expressed in 'aws made by the people for the gov ernance of the executive bfficers whom they appoint, as weli" as for the maintenance of national dis cipline among themselves." ' Sir Auckland said that Lincoln best epitomized the best form of government the human race had been able to devise as "by the people, for the people," but, he added, "I wonder liow many realize what a tremendous revolution this relatively new idea is producing in ill human relationships, or even how new the idea itself is and how Bttle it has been tested. Only a trifling minority of the peoples of the world understand it. ; I doubt if even in Europe there is a ma jority which supports it, certainly (here is not a majority which under stands it. I would like to be con vinced that there was a majority really understanding in fayor of H in the British, Islej. d ! , Must Static! Firm. "If the idea is to continue witn ut a serious setback, we people Vyho believe in it will have to stand firmly together, for there are power ful forces opposed to it. So far as we know, the millions of Asia have opposed the idea throughout all their fiistory, although a small number of Asiatics are now louq in us support, slam necessarily is opposed to it. he bolsheviki are naturally vio- cntly opposed ot it. So, too, is vervone who has what he regards is a big idea or great principle of in- talculable good whicn ne or sne wishes to force upon the people jvhether they wish it or not, "Theocracy and autocracy, force ful application of the big idea, In evitably leadto inequality before the aw and so to tyranny, , revolution nd chaos or to decadence, conquesi nd chaos. That way lies no hope. et the bolsheviki and their suooort- rs in all lands prate as they will of Reactionaries and imperialists. They themselves are the reactionaries. Their admitted doctrine is to estab lish a privileged class which they call the proletariat, but they mean by that term a select body of their Jnvn supporters." I Force Idea on Society. "Their whole creed is to force or. society a great idea which has been J-evcaled to Jhem and to them alone, jind, like it or dislike it, society is to swallow it whole and tha is Siothing but pure theocracy. L"Ve have to maintain the heritage f freedom against assault from within and without, the priceless Jieritate of a great idea now in dan ger from its popularity. Even J: enemies try to conceal their actions behind its phrases, j "Whatever difficulties might arise between our nations, I believe noth ing is more important than this, that 'vou and we stand together to de i " i v fend the hard won hope ot manKina that through law made by the peo 'ple for their own disciplining, man will at last escape from the toils that" have snared the feet of his an cestors and will have taken a great stride toward solution of the prob lem how he shall live in communi ties in peace and ordered freedom."

FESS URGES COX UBPOENAED TO PROVE CHARGE v. ., . Declares Loose Talk Will Not Be Taken Seriously In Ohio Where Governor Is Known. - Chicago, Aug. 5. Declaring that Governor Cox can- make no valid excuse for not testifying before the senate, committee, which is investi gating campaign fund matters, Con gressman S. D. Fess, of Ohio, chair man of the national republican con gressional committle, at republican headquarters today, said the commit tee should insist on his appearance. Mr. Fess said: "The investigation is timely, and I am glad the senator ial committee has taken this step to clear up the financial charges. Such loose talk as indulged by Governor Cox will not be taken so seriously in Ohio, where he. is known, but it is too serious to go unchallenged. "Governor Cox can make no valid excuse for not personally appearing before the committee ahd testifying under oath, just as other witnesses will testify. The committee should so insist. "The campaign of vituperation and misstatements of .Governor Cox and F. D. Roosevelt carries its own con demnation. It confesses its inJierent weakness and signifies its certain der feat 'Whom the gods would de stroy, they first make mad' never was mare truly applied. Republicans are and will continue to appeal to the in telligence of the American electorate upon the issues before the country, perfectly willing to leave the deci sion with them. "Let the committee in this proper manner and this early stage put; an end to this twaddle of democratic candidates, which will give the coun try a chance to consider the issues of democratic incompetency, irre sponsible waste, socialistic nostrums and especially their determination to establish a supergovernment in the surrender of American sovereignty and independence for the sake of the Wilson-Cox league, which must be a war breeder as it is now a war tol erator."

Thomas Carlyle, in one of his wild moments of candor, made a remark at the end of six volumes of history which was more enlighten ing than all the rest of his efforts put together. "We learn from his tory," he said, "that people learn nothing from history." If you sub stitute "experience" for "history" the aphoriam fitted Clarence Everett Stubbs like his skin. He was born a romantic soul, he was raised a ro mantic Soul and, God willing, he would die a romantic soul. Not all the terrors of war, not all the filth nnd squalor of trench life, not all '.he agony and suffering of a bass hospital existence, no, not even the hum-drum drudgery of an office job could alter his belief that life was Hist one happy ending after an other. A bookkeeping job, to any Sane person, after the glamor of war, would have seemed like a dreadful anti-climax, but to Clarence Everett it was just a new fairyland of figures where '2 and 2 danced across the ledger and were joined rogethcr after a most fantastic chase as 4. And so, when he was suddenly stricken with appendicitis and rush ed to the hospital; he took it all as a jolly adventure. If the ordeal-of an operation could not sadden him, you might well imagine what joys he found in convalescence. When in a week, a nurie took him out in the hospital yard for a sunning, life was just one sweet song, a trifle sweeter than it had always been, especially on such days as his life partner,, who also did her daily stint in the commercial world, came to see him. That was twice a week. The other days he enjbyed him self as best he could in the company of other's of the fair sex, and so easily did his romantic fninJ adapt itself, that you couldn't tell that he hadn't known them all Ins life ! If he had tried to explain this he would hnve said that he, saw in all women the idealized 'virtues of his w'.fe, and while; he might be talking to them-, he Was alwavs thinking cf her. . O.nly one emed to hold that dis tance which Ts supposed to lend en chantment, to 'the view, And for her, Clarence Eve rett had a most sentimental attachment. But since he never intended to afldress her, even in the customary informality of the hospital solarium, his attach ment was hardly a sign of infidelity to .his beloved but perfectly harm less both to himself and the lady who was receiving his purely mental attentions. His human interest was stimulated the first time he saw her. She was pretty, dark in complexion and for him had all the beautiful lines of Venus de Milo. But it was not these things which' set her apart. What attracted him was a bandage which artistically draped her right eye and was wound in such a way as to let her auburn hair hanj? in two beauti ful braids across her shoulders, In dian fashion. Her right hand was likewise wrapped in bandage. This was set off by a pink dressing gown of-j luxurious texture. In all, she fwas a picture that excited at once b6th pity and admiration. To i Clarence Everett's romantic mind she was Pocohantas, Hiawatha and Jo3n of Arc recast in a 1920 set ting. ObvViously she must have been in an automobile accident, or possi bly a bad fall from a saddle mount iWhat he felt certain, though, was , . ' I ' J -1 A tnai ner , injury naa come aoaui through a refined medium Why? Well, if you-hid asked Clarence he would have told you be cause 'she looked so refined, and to Clarence, despite old John J; Expe rience continually proving that ap pearances were deceptive, he still believed in judging a book by its cover. She could not possibly have fallen downstairs, or slipped on a banana peel, or been injured by any means either ludicrous or vulgar. In this frame of mind he watched her each day. Her beauty was soothing. Her bandages gave her the heroic-staeliness of. a statue of justice. H?F demeanor was so dignified I And yet, it was one like the figure of ivc .'who had been abused by destiny, but was too proud to succumb to vulgar tears over the fact. And so Clarence Everett drank on from'ithe cuo of sentimentality. Then one day things happened.' They happened v.ith such a sudden turn that Clarence's finer sensibili ties were shocked. An older woman, whose ' complexion was much like that of his goddess, came for a visit. Clarence recalled now that she had never had a visitor. Which indeed was strange. Mote strange still, there seemed to be no warmth iif this greeting. In fact the goddess tumbled right off her pedestal I She bowed her head, turned away from the elder woman and from her un- bandaged left eye a tear trickled down .her cheek. "S . "Say!" said Clarence Everett to himself. Inside him welled all the sympathy of a life-long friend., He yearned to dry those tears. It hurt him even to see that delicate pink dressing gown stained. ' The older woman walked away, and just when Clarence was on the point of responding to his impulses, she returned. He was all set to break the bounds and ask if he could help her. With the matron of the occasion was a youth, long, slender and, unnecessary looking, Clarence thought. The girl still kept her head bowed low and the petting was again renewed by the woman, who now appeafed in the light of a mother. Gingerly, the youth squeezed him self on the remaining section of the bench, and soon he was trying to drythe tears which flowed, oh, so gently, from those beautiful eyes. "A family reconciliation, obvious ly," observed C. E. "Mother and a younger brother. No doubt. Prob ably he drove the car over the ditch. Touching scene. . . . Ah well." He turned his head away, feeling it indelicate to gaze on such an ob viously private affair. But he could not hold off forever. When he turned to look again he received his first shock, for the youth had been out and had just returned with a love offering. It didn't strike Clar- IRELAND AGAIN FEELS ITSELF IN AGE OF MIRACLES Thousands Wait to See Man Claiming Inspiration From Virgin Mary ' Dublin, Aug. 25. Ireland feeb itself once more in the age of mira cles. The time has come as a ful fillment of the prophecy made by James Walsh of Templemore, who savs he was insuirea dv tne virgin Marv. Thousands thronged afQ'und his home in Templemore today hoping to catch a glimpse of him. Hun dreds of others sought Martin Mcrti- ahan and hakhim tell again and ngain the story of his reported mir aculous restoration. Monahan was crippled by shrap nel while fighting in France. He went to Walsh's home on crutches and walked away a sound man. Re- latins; the happening he said: "I had been operated on six times by an eminent surgeon. He had no success. When I nibbed the bleed ing leg on a statue in the home of Walsh I was restored at once.' Walsh was formerly a lay brother of the Cistercian monastery at Ros crea. He left, he says, owing to cer tain premonitions that came to him. He says he has been visited by the Virgin several times since July 4. She first appeared to him as a nun. She was standing at a roadside. She told Walsh that miracles would soon be repeated in Ireland. He, accord--ing to the Virgin, would be the in strument making known the restora tion of miracles. The apparition has appeared to Walsh several times since the first meeting at the road side, Walsh says.' On several occa sions, Walsh's employer said, she heard Walsh in conversation with someone whom she was unable to see. The children near several of these scenes, it is reported, were able to see the apparition. 4 Newspaper Men Speak Good Word for Omaha Hospitality Good ,words for Omaha hos pitality, with special reference to Ak-Sar-Ben, are contained in a reso lution sent the bureau of publicity of the Chamber of Commerce by the Association of Nebraska Newspaper men' in inanKs lor tne ironcoi tne State Press association in Omaha last month.
