The rode C'ahal In the midst of war the present sen sational cabal, led by Senators I)dge, Penrose and Sraoot, was formed.

It Is nt nes wry to read and re-read the Iemo-.-. ic plstform to knew its meaning; work in hand no artifice for Interfer ing with our constitutional peace-making authority was rejected. Before the country knew, yea, before these men themselves knew the details of the composite plan, formed at the peace table, they declared their op position to it. Before the treaty was submitted to the senate in the man ner the Constitution provides, they any ' deduction possible, it passed through the convention with practical unanimity. Senator Johnson, how ever, whose position has 'been consist ent and whose opposition to the league in any shape is well known, withheld his support of the convention's choice until the candidate had stated the meaning of the platform, and an nounced definitely the policy that would, 'be his, if elected. The Republican candidate has spok en and his utterance calls forth the following approval from Senator John son: "Yesterday in his speech of accept ance Senator Harding unequivocally took his stand upon the paramount issue in this campaign the Lea gue of Xations. The Republican party stands committeed by Us plat form. Its standard-bearer has. now accentuated that platform. There can be no misunderstanding his words." Harding and Johnson , Senator Harding, as the' candidate of the party, and Senator Johnson are as one on this question, and, as the latter expresses it, the Republican j party is committeed both by platform in the abstract and by its candidate in violated every custom and every con- specification. The threatened revolt si deration of decency by presenting a copy of the document, procured un biuehingly from enemy hands, and passed it Into the printed record of senatorial preceedings. From that hour dated the enterprise of throw Ing the whole subject Into a technical discussion, in order that the public might be confused. The plan has never changed in its objective, but the method has. At the outset there was the careful insistence that there was no desire -to interfere with, the prin ciple envolved and formalized at Ver sailles. Later, it was the form and not the substance that professedly in spired attack. Bat pretense was futile when proposals latej- came forth that clearly emasculated the basic princi ple of the whole peace plan, it is not necessary to recall the details- of the controversy In the senate. Senator: Lodge finally crystaltzed his ideas Into what were known as the lodge reser-i at tons, and when rongrmi adjourned I these reservations held the support of the so-called regular Republican lead era. pttblle Inters Jwnrfrd From that time the process have Wen Interesting. Political expediency in its truest sense dwarfed every con si derail on either of the public in tore t among leaders of the party is'averted but the minority position as expressed in the senate prevails as that of the party. In short, principle, as avowed in support of the Lodge reservations, or of the so-called mild reservations, has been surrendered to expediency. Senator - Harding makes this new pledge of policy in behalf of his party: This plan would not only be a piece of bungling diplomacy, but plain, un adulterated dishonesty, as well. 4Kvcrlnstlng Iishonorw No less an authoity than Senator Lodge said, before the heat of recent controversy, that to make peace except in company Vk:th the Allies woujd "brand us everlastingly with dishonor and bring ruin to us. And then after peace is, made with Germany, Senator Harding would, he says, "hopefully approach, the nations of Europe and of the earth, propoe in that understanding which makes us a willing participant in the con secration of nations to a new relation ship." J In short, America, refusing to enter the League of Nations (now already established by twenty-nine nations? and bearing and deserving the con tempt of the world, would submit an entirely new project. This act would either be regarded as arrant madness or attempted international bosslsm. The plain truth is, that the Repub lican leaders, obsessed with a deter mination to win the presidential elec tion. have attempted to satisfy too many divergent views. Inconsisten cies, Inevitable under the circumstan ces, rise to haunt them on every hand, and they find themselves arrayed in public thought at least, against a great prinicpal. More than that, their con duct is opposed to the idealism upon which their party prospered In Other days. Illustrating these observations by concrete facts, let be remembered thai "I promise you formal and effective i those now inveighing against an in- 1i iw document clear in Its ana'vsis of ! or of the maintenance of the honor of HHitii-tt and plans In the pledge of a great political party.

No fr' nrute Pea This means but one thing a sepa rate peace with Oermany! This would be the most dishearten ing event In civilization since the Rus sians made their separate peace with Germany, and infinitely more' un worthy on our part than it was on that of the Russians.

We fought me war in terest in- affairs outside of America, criticised President Wilson in un measured terms for not resenting the invasion of Belgium in 1014. They term the league of Nations a military alliance, which, except for their oppo sition, would envelop our country, when, as a matter of truth, the snb- ioct of a League of Nations has claim ed the best thought of America for years, and the League to Enforce Peace was presided over by so distin guished a Republican at I'Jx-I'resident Taft, who, before audiences in every section advocated the principle and the plan of the present league. They charge experimentation, when we have as historical precedent the- Monroe Doctrine, which Is the very essence of ArtiHe X of the Versailles covenant. Skentir viewed Monroe s manowiw spoke the freedom of Cuba end carried the torch of American idealism to the benighted Philippines. They lose memory of Garfield's prophecy that America", under the blessings of God given opportunity, would by her moral leadership and co-operation become a Messiah among" thti nations of tho earth. .r Old!

The finest impul ses of humanity, rising above national lines, merely seek to make another horrible war impossible.
