SENATOR LODGE TAKES OFF HIS MASK , , UTSTANDING features of Senator Lodgre's keynote speech are his bitter hatred of President Wilson and of the League of Nations. The senator has taken off his mask and appears in his true light, not as one trying to improve tile league covenant but as the treaty assassin. "We make the issue ; we ask approbation for what we have done, he said. "The people will not tell us what they think lf Mr. Wilson's league and the sacrifice of America." AH through his talk the Massachusetts senator conveys the impression he believes the League of Nations would destroy American independence. He has built up a straw man and calling it a demon for so long he has come to believe it a demon. How absurd is the Lodge viewpoint when article 10 of the league covenant safeguards our independence so thoroughly (hat it binds every member of the league to respect and defend our "political independence and territorial integrity." Under the league we would not rest for safety merely on American arms. We would have the active support of all our allies and of the neutral powers of the world. Every great country has joined the league save Germany, Russia and the United States. AH the nations entering the league have taken the same risks the United States would take by joining. Is it. not strange they have had no Lodges to warn them of their peril? Other noted men besides Mr. Lodge have studied the league covenant and they see no such dangers as he paints. Mr. Taft does not regard the covenant that way. Neither does President Wilson, who guided our nation during the war and was in per son at the peace conference. The American Bar Association, composed of the lawyers of the country, does not accept the Lodge version. A recent num ber of the Bar Association Journal devotes 62 pages to a report of a special committee on the League of Nations. The following extracts from that report are from The Des Moines Register, the leading republican newspaper of Iowa : Tour committee la of the opinion that the treaty including proposals for a leactie of nations should be ratified without amendment. The world h anxious to return to a more settled condition. If amendments are proposed by the United Plates other sTovernraent srould undoubtedly propose amend -sent and It la unlikely that a. second conference could produce a more sat isfactory treaty. Reservations which make changes in the provisions of the treaty are in effect proposed amendments and therefore reject the treaty. In tke opinion of your committee the treaty should be unqualifiedly ratified for the reason that none of the chances suggested is of such Importance as to arrant the rejecting of the treaty or the delay and risk involved In its resuk-rii.-soa to the conference. Instead of attempting to amend It at the present peace coaietencs it should be amended after ratification in the manner pro vided by article it of the covenant. The leacae is not a super state, neither is it a United States of the world. It does not provide for the levying of taxes nor for the oanscription of an in ternational army or nary. The proposal is not internationalism if internationalism he defined to scan the obligations of national life and Independence, but a league of states. We are among the nations sf the world, associated with them whether we rill or not. It Is better that the association be organised in a league intent Upon peace than It be unorganized preparing for war. Th proposal does not attesnpt to go too far and so invite failure and It goes far enough to give assurance of an earnest effort at cooperation In pro aaoting good will and peace. The p'-" im the beat that the representatives of 32 signatory powers at the conference could agree upon. r. The league is Justified In setting its face against war In that It provide agticr means tor attaining liberty. Justice and security. It puts a car unxm the worst and gives opportunity for expression of the bast in human nature. The United Stales runs little risk In becoming a member of the league far It is given a permanent place at the conference of both the council and ase mills nose action on all matters must be unanimous. If Lodge is right then the foregoing view of the Bar Associa tion committee Li all wrong. The tenor of the Lodge keynote is that the republican party should be confined to men who hate Wilson and the league cov- ant He would put the lash to all who have had anything to with Wilson and the Wilson principles. That is an indict ment of the majority of people of the United States who voted lir. Milson into the presidency. It is an effort to read Umatilla countv and other Eastern Oregon counties out of the republican purty because these counties sustained Mr. Wilson by an over whelming vote and they followed his leadership loyally during the war. If the reoublican national convention accepts the Lodge it will surely go upon the rocks. What Mr. Lodge said on other lMdormhiD and adoDts a course to suit him and others of his ilk subjects is not important. His arguments are of a character that rrUv W made bv anv political party again; any other party. His t aroinir at Wilson for being a dictator falls flat in view of H fat wp have a dictatorship not by the president but by an ..ncnmsHtuHonal cabal is the senat.

We have had it and if you boar anyone kicking about too many weeds report him to the tariff. g a McCwwt fmng Johnson ,ust H ht Johnson wants, - that defeat every chance of the right settlement of the mighty question before us, so sorely needed now and not later, will depart. "To maintain law and order and a stable government where justice rules and the right of all men, high and low rich and poor, shall be protected, we must have a government of the peo ple, duly chosen by the people, and never must there be permitted any government by a single man or by a group of men, or by an organized mi nority "Many vital economic measures and especially protective tariff legislation to guard our Industries are impossible with a democrat free trader of demo cratic proclivities in the White House. To accomplish such measures as these wc must have, as we intend to have a republican president In sympathy with a republican house and senate. H. C. It. Biggest Problem. "The rise of prices, the high cost of living which reach daily Into every home, is the most pressing, as it is the most difficult and most essential prob lem which confronts us. Some of the sources of this trouble can be reached by legislation although not all, but every'thing which can be effected by law should be done at ence. "Profiteering, charging of extortion ate and unjustified prices which Is stupid as well as unlawful arc subject now to ample punitive laws. Those laws should be enforced, others it necessary added, and the offenders both great and small should be pursu ed and punished. "The most essential remedy for high costs (of living! Is to keep up and in crease production and particularly should every effort be made to ad vance the productivity of the farm. On Government Ownership The phrb.se government owner ship' means not only that the govern ment shall own the railroads but also, it Is to be feared, that those who run the railroads shall own the govern ment. General government owner ship under our political system would Inevitably bring about the mastery or the government by those who operate the machinery of transportation or any other industries which come into government possession. The rights of the general public for whom ail Indus tries exist would disappear under this system and nothing would be left to the people except the duty of paying taxes to support the roads. "Over 800 Americans have been mur dered in Mexico. Oarranza insulted the American government in every possible way and still nothing was done. We fell so low that when an American was seixed by one of the many bands of brlganoa and held for ransom, all that the government of the United States would do was to of fer to be the channel for conveying the ransom of their citizens to the highwaymen who had seized them. "We have watches and waited long enough. We need a firm hand at the helm. The time has come to put an end to this Mexican situation, which is a shame to the United States and a disgrace to civilization. If we are to take part in pacifying and helping the world, let us) begin here at home in Mexico. "Let the Mexicans choose as their president some strong and upright man who is friendly to the United States and determined to establish or der and then let the United States give him real and cordial support and so ... , i, anri nnhold him that he inn tu. itlrfe to exterminate the ban dits and put an end to the unceasmg civil war. says Wilson Blocked raw when the armistice with Germany was signed tne courno m vy -r, - ri.gr.
