CAN WE BREAK FAITH WITH THE DEAD ?
MR. U'REN bases his objection to the Harding candidacy
on the fact Mr. Harding; has openly said he favors a
separate peace, thus breaking faith with our allies,
.".ir. U'Hen's words are clear and the sincerity of the position he
r as tk?n wii) strike home to the hearts of thousands of people
i,i tli is state.
hut 2ir. U'Ren could have made the case even stronger. The
L !iit? J .States is under an even greater pledge than the one made
to the allies. It was made especially to the four million men who
i. .-. lowed the colors and of those men 81,000 are dead on the
field of baale.
The record as to that pledge is clear and explicit When
rroildent Wilson went before congress asking for the war reso
lution he held high above all other war aims this purpose :
A universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peo
'.& as shall bring peace and safety to all nation and make the
world itself at Last free.
lhat was the SDirit in which America entered the war and
it v. as approved by both houses of congress. It was in that spirit
t ur soldiers were mobilized.
Or. January 8, 1918, the president went before congress and
. ot forth his famous 14 points. The fourteenth point which is
; i actitally identical in language with the provisions of article
10 of the covenant provided that:
"A general association of nations must4e formed under spe
c lic covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees
oi' political independence and territorial integrity to great and
small nations alike."
That message was given months before our soldiers began
sighting on the western front. The message was heard by both
branches of congress and not a senator raised a word of protest
against the great principle set forth. The nation approved that
nrinciDle and all over the land it was the basis of the cry that
we fought a war to end wars. It had much to do with building
jp the morale of the army and of the nation.
That was a wonderful pledge and the principle is as sound
as the Rock of Ages. But whether good or bad the pledge was
i ade and our soldiers fought and died with that promise always
ever them.
When Mr. Harding and others ask that we forsake article
10 thev ask that we do more than reject the League of Nations
tvenant. They ask that we break faith not merely with our
ailies but with our dead. It is-unthinkable.
ROGER BABSON FOR COX
rT HE man who holds a preeminent position as an expert on
I business affairs and has been remarkably successful at
forecasting events in the business world is Roger W
Rabson. Most big operators in Pendleton and elsewhere follow
nhann'H views closely.
What does he think as to the outcome of the presidential
election on business affairs. He sets forth his opinion very
( iri-lv in a bulletin. "Politics and Business" on September 28.
In brief the Babson opinion as expressed at that time is that
i usiness NEXT YEAR will be better if Harding is elected but
tl at if we look beyond the immediate future it would be prefer
able to have Governor Cox in the white house. He expresses
himself thus:
We reason simply from the law of action and reaction. Labor Is a very
iTifaxorable element In business at the present time. REPUBLICAN CON
TftOL WILL BOLT DOWN THB LID ON THK LABOR ELEMENT and tor a
t;ir.e can vastly Improve business conditions. Such a policy however wlil surely
.... n that an exnlosion on the nan of labor will later develop. On the other
nd if the democrats continue in control the present situation will worn di
rc!y on to its logical conclusion namely, business depression followed by
:i NATURAL. REACTION In an upward direction, about two or three ye
tv ,;,) nnur.
In other words if you want permanent prosperity, vote for
(:jX, but if you prefer a short period of artificial business stimu-
L.ti on, and pnee boosting witn Dayonets at tne iaciory aoor, w
fo'K.wtd bv an "exDlosion." vote for Harding. That Mr.
,;.ib3on himself favors the election of Cox is shown by the fact
La name appears among others on a list of over 1 00 represenu
bve men and women who have usually supported the republican
and progressive tickets," who have announced their intention
tnrcugh Hamilton Holt, editor of the Independent, to adhere
t his year to the "democratic national and senatorial tickets."
TOO MUCH AT ONE TIME
r j-, Hi: legislature of Oregon blundered sadly when it passed
1 the law requiring that city elections be held at the same
time as state elections and that during presidential years
(;.e state election be held at the same time as the national elec
tor). We have a state election on November 2 and likewise a
r i:y t-lettion in Pendleton. On both the state and city ballots
are measures of vitaj importance and the public welfare requires
t hat they be .properly decided. As a matter of fact these roeas
rits are receiving--small attention because the public interest is
K-iiUred in the; pre.sidt-r.tial contest. We have had too many
blundering petty partisans in the Oregon legislature and we r
suffering for their behavior. '
t '
As shown elsewhere today Mr. Harding's vice chairman and
his western campaign manager Was an ardent pro German be
fore we entered the war. He defended the kaiser and roasted
the Belgians for fighting their invaders. This man Adams was
Maror Thompson's candidate for chairman of the republican
national committee ana aiier a ciose ngnt win nays was eieciea
under a compromise that made Adams the second in command.
He is evidently a big factor in the campaign management. Can
fair minded republicans who supported our country earnestly
.luring the war be expected to rally behind such leadership?
The throng that packed the theater for Milt Miller Tuesday
night bears evidence of the nationwide spirit that is growing
more and more aflame for the League of Nations and Governor
Jox.

The Weak or the Strongf One
If you see before you a strong and safe bridge leading to
your goal, would you ignore it and choose some Insecure and
tottering structure?
If you were offered sure aid In time of trouble would you
hesitate to accept it? i-
The answer is simple you vrould choose what all evidence
showed to be the safe way and you would risk nothing in
useless experiments.
Why then do some women risk one of their most pr
clous possessions tlielr health in trying medicines of
unknown value, when everybody knows that the most
successful remedy for woman's ills is Lydin E. Plukbuiu's
Vegetable Compound. Here is more proof:

If you cim Imagine such a thing,
you will then be In a position to appre
