Sure thing on earth! Of course Kvervbodv ill town knows voit lli.w could it lie otherwise? Let'i see, how long have you been- doing business at the same old stand? Thut'aso? Well, well! It doesn't seem to be as Ion as all that Tint that only makes It surer Everybody knows you. of course! i Though they do t'll a sassy siory of an old-established merchant who u.tl that and was challenged to make a test.

One of the problems before Trowing diwn la how to dispose of iibblsli without creating eyesore. Many communities have spoiled a lot of their prettiest loruiiotis by allowing thorn to be used as dump grounds for ashes, tin cans, old hoi- ties, and other rubbish. These ha'i Us or cliy nnd village lf need te be cntefiilly supervised by official;- interested in developing a heuutliiu community. Any place which la to lie permanently used for luinpln should lie so screened as not to be noticeable from the public bluh ways.

Well worth our while It is Jusl nere oil tUIS Daua sou now .iie" to pause tor au Instant while e glance swiftly upon the scene in which wo are to figm our bailies. liiuind ua live the giealcat war of istoiy, now for the most part fullcu jlienl, together with all the hideous advances of silence In uieinoua oi ukiuK human llle. which uallencu II hulled and uulcsceut. The eiupual has subsided but the ocean .Kill heaves and rolls wan ci eating aves. while the dead seas ol me jinriii, v. men naa paastu, i-iaau iculy agalust the shores that shelter nu sustain the vast fabric wincu are wont to cull our civilization. We .hid ourselves gaxiug upon the prob .euis and trials which the huge con vulsion has left to us and wiih which ve must cope successfully II we are o rebuild and agaiu move onward. The ruined towns, the broken inuus- rlcs, the dcsoluted furms are mere before our eyes wnerever ine nan were fought. Countless little mounds murk the resting places of the dead me fields and on the Hillsides. lorn and gashed by shot and shell, siirnala of mourning throughout the world loll us of the Irreparable losses u nations, which have swept away such an appalling portion of he youth or every iano, r whom were garnered up the hopes ind strength of the future, ine plendor' of the achievement of our loldlera and sailors, their dauntless iioraee nnd unshrinking service will ilways r aln one of the proudest nemorlos in the history of ine re public. Hut the dead return not ana che shadow of the greut sorrow for hone forever gone will never De Ifted from the hearts of the people ho sent them forth to battle. The luterial side of war result is, use he snirllual. ever with us. We feel ll dally life the grinding pressure of he vast debts and heaped up laxes vhleh have been plied up on our houlders and upon those of poster- ly. Great empires nave men swop- rom the eatb, ancient nionarcme live crumbled In an hour, and long stabllshed governments have tot- 'ered. fallen and passed away like a atrh In the night.. "All these things stare up In the ace, pierce our attention and arrest iir thoughts. Hut this is not nil and vhnt remains, perhaps more than nvthlng else makes Incredibly diffl- ult the immense task which HeB he- ore us, one noi to lie escnpeu, oui vhlch will strain governments and -leonle to the top of their bent If fuce It bravely, looking facts always in the face and determined to do their best never promising what they cannot perform and never yielding to tl.e facile temptations of momen tary success. "One ol our great political parties bus failed to meet nay, It is In a considerable measure responsible lor, the very perilous conditions of the hour. The only other organized political force strong enough to grap ple with the encircling dungera Is the republican oartv. If thut too fails and breaks down, the Russian de- 1 laws are once made they scent Into barburlsm will begin to draw near. Such an end is Inconceiv able with the American people, but they must realize the peril and drive it buck Into the durkuesu whence It comes. We, keepers of the republi can faith, must therefore succeed. We must not know defeat when the great responsibility comes to our hands. To the service of 1S60 must add a like service In 1920. larger victory at any time could be won by any political parly. We must both earn and deserve It. We did not full In the civil war. We shall not, must not fail now. "In order to render to our country the service which we desire to render ii nd which we can accomplish in large measure at least. If we under take it with all our ability and in a disinterested public spirit, we must huve the opportunity for service. That opportunity can only come thru our being entrusted by the people with both the legislative and execu tive authority. To this end Mr. Wil son and his dynasty, his heirs and assigns, or anybody that is his. any body who with bent knee has served his purpose, must be driven from nil control, from all Influence upon the government of the United States. They must be driven from office and power, not because they are demo crats, but because Mr. Wilson stands for a theory of administration and government which Is not American. Ills methods, his constant, if Indirect assaults upon rhe constitution and upon all the traditions of free gov ernment, strike at the very life of the American principles upon which our government has alwnys rested. The return of Hie democrats to power with Mr. WIlBon or one of his dis ciples still the leader and master of a great party, which before tils ad- never must there be permitted any government by a single man or by a group of men or by an organize I minority. Tyranny lurks In them all and truo freedom withers when they ! ascend the throne. There must bd but one law In this country and that is the law framed by the men chosen by the people themselves to make the laws. The chief magistrate must understand that it is his duty not only to enforce but to abide by the luwa, the laws made by the represen tatives of the people, and when those must ne obeyed until the people see fit to change them. The will of the people expressed in lawful manner through the government of the United Stales must be supreme for the government of the United States can neither suf fer revolt nor submit to any ques tion of Ita authority on the part of any man or any group of men or any we i minority of Its people, when free tio government falls, autocracy and revolution and the downfall of civl llzatlon as we have known It are at hand. Progress will cease and the decline to lower stages of develop men! will have begun. True progress : itianr medio must rest upon any proceed from the i luost profound effect sound principles which sustain all free government and to such prog ress the republican party always has been committed. Loyalty to the United Slates and obedience to the peoples laws are the cornerstones of the republican and should be main tained and upheld by every man and woman In every corner of our great land. Keep these principles sacred nnd untouched and all the rest will follow. "Lot me turn, first to the economic conditions, so profoundly distorted and confused by the war, which affect our dally life, are essential to our business and upon which our ma terial prosperity and all the benefits, both mental and moral, which flow from It when honestly acquired, so largely depend. Already a beginning has been made by a republican con gress, working under all the difficul ties und opposition imposed by a hostile executive. Many vital eco nomic measures and especially pro tective tariff legislation to guard our Industries are impossible with a We have made a remarkable Be ginning, but we are fully cousaoua that it Is only a beginning. Mucn has been dune, much more remains id do and we pledge ourselves to ex ert all our energies to deal with what la still undone. The wrocK ana con fusion of a great war. In business, flnmiee and all economic conditions, cannot be cleaied away and fully re' adjusted In a year and a half nor in deid in twice thai time. Reconstruc tion must be steady and energetic, but it also demands care If It Is to be of luting value. The riBe of prices, the high cost of living which reach daily Into every home, is the most pressing as It is the most difficult and essential problem which con fronts us. Some of the eourcea of this trouble can be reached by legis lation, although not all. but every thine that can be effected by law should be done at onie. Profiteer in the charging of extortionate and unjustified prices, which Is stupid as well as unlawful, are subject now to ample punitive laws. These laws should be enforced, others if neces sary added, and the offenders both great and small should be pursued and punished, not in the headlines of newspapers after the manner of the nresent attorney general, but quietly, thoroughly and efficiently. In the courts of the United States. Something more in this direction can he accomplished by the proper regu latiou of cold storage, and a bill for that purpose has passed both houses and Is now in conference. Another deep-seated cause of the rise of prices, more effective in Its results ulthough less obvious thnn profiteering, is the abnormal in crease per capita of the circulating medium. This has doubled since the war began and If In the space of few years the amount of the circu- is doubled it has In stimulating and advancing prices. During the war credits have been enormously inflated and there have been large additions to the currency through the federal reserve banks. Hence ll Is possible to check the advance of prices by law. We can provled for the control of credits In such manner as to give preference to the most es sential products. We are also able to reduce the amount of the circulat Ing medium In the form of federal reserve bank notes, the authority having been given during the wnr to increase the Issue of these notes from two billions to four billions. It should be one of the first acts of con gress to deal with this essential point and It would have a marked ef feet in reducing prices by steadying them and bringing them down to a lower and more normal level. Iteniedy l.les in Production. The must potent remedy of nil against advances in the high cost of living, however, lies in production, which cannot be reached directly by statutes. If production begins to democratic free trader of socialistic j fall and fall off. the cost of every- proclivltles In the white house. To accomplish such measures as these vent possessed both traditions and we ,, nave a8 W(, lnt,,n(1 , navPi l (1.

When a man boasts of his past Jjo only tells part of bli past. light Hint makes life worth living Is o survive. The wrecked towns, t lie haltered forts, the effaced villages. he sinking ships were not the only victims of the storm of war. Other hlngs, the Impalpable possessions of be mind and heart, have In like fashion been wounded and crippled. the shock of war. through long ars of bluer conflict, moral re straints were loosened and all the ablls. all the conventions, all the i'listoms of life, which more even linn law. hold society together, were ; am ()f it,,osev pt aside, tine passion, one pur pose to save the country, to save ivillzatlon, to preserve freedom rose supreme. It could not Pe other wise. There could be In that hour 'nit one question nhead of men nnd women - 'nre you loyal to your eotin- ry and her cause, ready lo work nnd to sacrifice, and If need he to die for hem?' If that single demand was rightly answered, nothing else mat tered In those dnys of stresB and an guish. No one Inquired further. 'So the war ended and victory anie: the great adventure was over ind men and women came hack to tlnd the old ways dull, the old life mine, the old restraints burdensome mil they themselves possessed of a longing for exclieuieiit and a hunger for change unknown before. One sees die result In the restlessness which rywhere; In the mere trifles of life, ill dress. In amusements, in pleasure seeking. In the greed for money and the recklessness of cx .tindilure and what Is infinitely more rtoiis. in the discontent with all forms of government or control and the readiness and eagerness to destroy even Ihe f unilnuiental priu- I'lples of a free and orderly civiliza tion without law and order, organ- zed sorlely, the possibilities of prog ress and the chance for happiness cannot exist. This stale of mind born of the war Is the giavest obstacle In the essential oik of restoring a shattered world and making the great victory a ble.,sii: lo mankind. In nler to succeed ut all we must un derstand Ibis rientnl and moral con dition. We must allow for It. We must be v. ry pan, ut. We must steady our n. res We must be tol erant and above all open minded. We must call on our common sense .ind self resitsint. The complex problem cannot he evaded and It must be dealt with in such a wav as to preserve the foundations of society and enable us, these once secured, to advance steadily, in ver hurriedly but in order, toward every reform, every Improvement, every form of true progress which will help mankind It la a gigantic task for any govern ment or any party. No party and no government can succeed unless they principles, would he a long step lit the direction of the autocrncy for which Mr. Wilson yearns and a heavy blow to the continuance of free rep i senttitive government as we have always conceived and venerated II. The peril inseparable from Mr. Wil s'in and his system goes far beyond all party divisions, for it InvolveB the fundamental question of whether the government of the United Slates shall be a government of laws and not of men, whether it shall be a free representative government or I that of a dictatorship resting on plebesclte carried by repellent methods. Mr. Wilson and the autoc racy he represents, and all which those who believe in his doctrines nnd share his spirit represent, must be put aside and conclusively ex cluded from any-future control. Hear this well in mind throughouf the i-auipnign. for it is the first condition of our ability to enter upon the path '.vhlch will carry us forward to true nroeroMu ntwt t,i u-iui.r 1:,U'M It i the path of Washington, of Lincoln J It. from which Mr. Wilson has Bought to drag us. We can only regain It by once and for nil condemning the man and his as sociates who have thus endeavored to turn us from the right road into the dark and devious ways whbh with all nations lend to destruction. We therefore make our appeal for republican president. In sympathy with a republican house nnd sennte. Great reductions in expenditures have been effected but we have been j met with resistance In some of the I departments and also by habits of waste backed by maladministration. I by sacrifice of efficiency to political I purposes, never so recklessly in I dulged In before, and in certain cases . bv an incompetency so marvelous that It cannot be due to nature I must he the result of art. Yet I spite all these fettering conditions an amount of work has been done which In days of peace would nave j been considered remarkable but now passes almost unnoticed because great events have so crowded on each other's heels in the years of worid war that the comprehension nnd ap preciation of legislative accomplish ments are well nigh lost. Let ine give a few examples of what has been accomplished. The estimates have been reduced over a billion dollars. The oil b ns- ip ine wnierpuwer btlls. two meas ures of large effect and high import ance, which have been halting ml I stumbling for many years in the in I capable hands of a democratic ma jority, have passed both houses, hut the president has vetoed Ihe water power bill. We have passed the vo cational rehabilitation act for Ihe benefit of wounded soldiers and sey. ! support to all who love America, to , i al acts for the disposition of war I mi, iinn icr pitiiv iiniue lney Hap pen to bear, who are true to the faith j of the fathers, to Join with us In this i great work of redemption. The de- feat of the present administration material, very necessary to our fi nances. We have amended nnd Im proved the federal reserve and the farmers loan acts. We have cared for the ttnMl.tl-a nl tttm Ai.,11 ....... and all Its means transcends In Im- I straitened o. ihir m ,i,...k' 1 portnnce every other question and nil : Immediate nnd dominant issues are hound up with it. Without that de j rent every chance of the right settle j inent of the mighty questions bef:u-e us, so sorely needed now and not later, will depart. The ground thus cleared. It Is our first duty as Americans to re-establish certain essential principles which have been both shaken and Invaded shaken by the shock of war. In vaded hy those who had their own selilsh purposes to serve even In the hour of the country's danger. The earliest beliefs of men reveal the trust of mankind In order, as the divine conqueror of chaos and eter nal night. A famous poet tells us that 'older Is heaven's first Inw.' and history repeals the sme Injunction. All the civilization ever built up and treasured by mankind has rested up on the establishment of law and or der, the supports of true liberty, the firm foundations of prosperity and progress, have always ruled In th. United States and have been very dear to Ihe hearts of the American p ople. They must never be weak ened or impaired unless we are ready lo see all that we have care fully hulli up go down In ruin and mer forced once more Into the strug gle nci'nst chaos. Followed by the slow nnd toilsome climb out of the darkness of anarchy lo Ihe height of freedom and accomplishmit. To nintnta'n law and order and a stable gov, i-i.rieiu where Justlc rules and ihe tights of all men. high and low, rich and poor, shall be protected, we must have a government of Ihe peo- ihe rise in prices, by an Increase in their pensions. The civil service re tirement law. a long-deferred act of Justice to raitliful servants of the government, has been parsed. We ; have been obliged to rstore the army i and navy to a pence footing, a work i as diliicult as It was necessary. We I have met this hy two lliosl important ; ti'ea-otres Hi- army and navy oav , bill and the law for Ihe reorganiza tion of the army on a peace basis. Two of the most important acts of any period, the shipping act for the I upbuilding of the American marine , and the settlement or the affairs of , the shipping board and Ihe law es- tabllshing ihe budget, a rreat nieas , ure of economy and sound financi il administration, are copspIc mis as our ' latest achievements. The budget bill was vetoed hy the president at the last moment on the ground that it tnierrerrcd with his power of nointment and removal. The list of hen. flclal laws, passe.l nnder adverse circumstance, might be larsrely extended did not lime for bid Hut these are enough to show , the far-reaching results of the labors of this eonrress. whose time is bin i little more than half spent. Some ef me master minds of the democratic party are now chirruping awav like np- Ihing will be advanced by the simple force of scarcity will inevitably drive prices upward. The most es sential remedy for high costs is lo keep up and increase production und particularly should every effort be made lo advance the productivity of Ihe farms. Just how much the gov ernment can do in this direction is uncertain, bul it can aid and sup port and if anything can be done it must not be omitted or overlooked. At the same time it must not be for gotten that there is a vast difference ut J between the powers of the national io- government in time of war and those vhlch it possesses in time of peace. The normal limitations of times of peace restrict very much the powers of the general govern ment and In helping lo increase the productivity of the farms, which must he done through government action, the republican party prom ises to use every power In this direc tion whether within the slate or federal Jurisdiction. 1 have touched upon this matter of prices and the high cost of living beciiuse It Ls altogether the most Im portant domestic question now he fore the country and one to which Ihe republican party should address Itself without delay in every direc tion where help Is possible. There are, of course, as I have said, ninnv I other Important economic questions io ne dealt with, as speedily as pos sible, bin the time allotted to in makes it impossible to touch upon them nil. There is. however, one measure which cannot fie passed over, a single great law which has been enacted and which in any period would be sufficient to distinguish a congress as one of high accomplishment. This is the railroad act. For six months able committees In both houses, com- niiees wnere no party line was drawn, tolled day after day upon this most Intricate of problems. There was much si rious debate In both senate and house and then the bill, signed hy the president, became law. No doubt time and experience will " that Improvements In the act can be made, but In the main it is a remarkable piece of legislation and m general principles is entirely sound, nnd nothing could be more unfair than to criticize the pret-ent owners contending with the legacy of mismanagement, waste and con fusion bequeathed by the govern ment wh. n it returned the roads only thr.e mouths ago. The railroad Inw possesses also an Importance whollv distinct from ' Its provisions, which have been framed with extreme care This act declares a national policy and. so far as any law can do it. es 'al.I'sli.s that policy as a rule of sc ion. The policy embodied In the lull concede at the outset that it is , ,oi!ie lllip.issiri e to return in ,1... old ownership" means sot only that the Boiuruuieui suaii i but also. It la to be who run the railroad government. uenvral government ownership under our political system would inevitably bring about the niaotary of the government by those who operate the machinery of trans portation or of any other Industries which come into government posses sion. The right of the general pub lic, for whom all Industries exist, would disappear under this scheme and uuthlug would be left to the people except the duty of paying taxes to support the roads. That la a very perilous position for a represen tative democracy. our government must not be dominated by any one man or any class or any selected body of men who represent a part of the people and not the whole Deonla Moreover, In the United States, gov ernment ownership wherever Applied to an industry, whether 1t Involves transportation or telegraphlo and telephone communication or ship building or manufacturing, la a very Inefficient and wasteful aysteni, bad ly managed and certain to be Intoler ably burdensome to the taxpayers. Ibis point it la not necessary to ar- gue because the country through Ihe demands of war turned the railroads over to the government and we have hud the painful privilege of observ ing the performance which followed, The government management which ensued was Inefficient, the railroads were wretchedly conducted and money was Bpent and wasted with a prodigality which nothing can de fend. During the time in which the government undertook to manage the railroads they sustained, despite a generous Increase In freight rates, a loss of over a million dollars a day and the total payments out of the treasury to support the railroads have reached the enormous sum of one and three quarter billions of dollars. There was universal dis satisfaction with the government management and it was a Just dis satisfaction. The experiment faired and should not be renewed. , From domestic affairs, which I huve only touched upon briefly, lot us turn lo foreign questions, to our relations with the world of other nations. Look first at one of the most pressing Importance Just be yond our own borders. Look at Mexico. For seven years the United States has been pursuing under the direction of the president a policy of "watchful waiting." The presi dent saw fit to Intervene In Mexico. As a matter of fact he made war upon Mexico, for in the taking of Vera Crux we lost some 120 men In killed and wounded and several hundred unregarded, Incidental Mexicans were also either wounded or killed In the conflict. We went there to exact an apology for the treatment of some of our sailors al Tampico. The apology has never been given but flenernl Huerta war driven from power, which was the president s real purpose, and Mexico then fell Into a state of anarchy which, growing constantly worse, has continued to this day. The president saw lit to recognize Carranza, who was chosen by a military Junta, as politlcnl chief. He thus furnished an essential support to the Carranza government and what has been our reward? Over 600 Americans have been murdered In Mexico, some un r circumstances of great brutality, For these murders no reparation has been made. Decorated by endless futile and useless notes they have gone on unchecked. To have been in American citizen in Mexico added to a man's danger. The words "I am American citizen." instead of being a protection, as they ought to be, in every corner of the world were an aosoitite peril lo anyone who was entitled to that high dls Unction. Mexico teemed with Get- inun plots. The Mexican government largely the offspring of Mr. Wilson's recognition, did not support us In the war hut gave aid so far as It was pos sible to the cause of our enemies let we still continued to support t arranza. Ills government sent agents Into this country to foment Industrial trouble and lo bring strikes. They allied themselves Willi the bolshevlst and anarchistic ele ments. Nothing van done by the I nlled States. Carranza insulted ine American government in every possible way and still nothing was done. We fell so low that when an American was seized by one of Ihe many nunrts or brigands and held for ransom all that the government of the United States would do was to offer lo be Ihe channel for conveying the ransom of their citizens to the highwaymen who had seized them The mere statement seems Incredible but it is In oxac: accordance with the facts In some cases. Still nothing was done and we watched and wail ed. Naturally we lost our influence In Mexico nnd what was far more Important we lost the respect of the Mexican people by the manner In which we submitted to every sort of Insult and outrage. Need of a Firm Iliuid. We have watched and waited long enough. It Is time that this condi tion, disgraceful to us and ruinous to Mexico, should cease. We need a flrui hand at the helm. We need a man who will think not only of the rights of the United States but of the welfare of Mexico. The Mexican people would not resent the influ ence or Intervention of the United R.ates If it would only help to bring them peace under a president of their own choosing. The great mass of the Mexican people wish to work nnd earn money. They long to be able to sleep in peace and not b" subject lo pillage and oulragp. Thou i 001 oniy that the . ... .
