Solving the Bomb Mystery
The Portland Oregonian has solved the mystery of the
Wall street bombinsr oufrasre like all the other evils flesh
is heir to, the Oregonian finds it due to Cox and the demo
cratic administration,
It is the direct result of Governor Cox's campaign, says
the Oregonian, his exposure of the huge slush fund raised
by the republicans and his denunciation of Wall street for
attempting to purchase the presidency.
The crime lies not in the use of a slush fund to purchase
a seat in the senate to give the republcian party control, nor
in the expenditure of millions to secure republican primary
nominations, nor yet in the "Boys, get the money" drive now
in progress to purchase the presidency, but in the exposure
of the affair. Not Newberry, Wood, Lowden nor Hays,
Upham and Harding are guilty for raising and spending the
money, but Cox for telling of it.
President Wilson is also responsible because he has not
appointed reactionaries to office and has failed to deport

Harding on Self Determination
On all questions touching the status of colonies and de
pendencies held by imperialistic governments, Harding has
consistently voted against freedom. Not the following
votes, some of which are specially interesting in view of the
present status of the Irish question:
(1) Against the resolution expressing the hope that
the British government may exercise clemency in relation
to Irish political prisoners (referring especially to Sir Roger
Casement) (July 29, 1916; C. R., 11782).
(2) Against the La Follette reservation to the peace

Cousin Simon Scroeelicr
Solomon Owl haw a small cousin
named Simon Screecher. He 'was
unlike Solomon in some respects,
because he always wore ear-tufts,
and his eyes were yellow instead
of black, But in some other ways
he was no different from Solomon
Owl, for he was a noisy chap and
dearly loved mice to eat.
It happened that the two met
in the woods one fine fall evening;
and they agreed to go hunting
mice together.
Now, being so much smaller
than Solomon, Simon Screecher
was all the spryer. In fact, he
was so active that he could catch
mice faster than Solomon Owl
could capture them. And they

It was only fair.
"You surely ought to be glad to

Simon.
"It's not that," said Simon Scree
cher. "It seems to me that since
I'm not half your size, I ought to
have twice as many mice to eat,
bo I'll grow bigger."
Well, Solomon Owl hadn't
thought of that. He was puzzled
t to know what to say. And he
wanted time In which to ponder.

The Oregonian's indictment is a weighty one indeed. The
crime was caused by failure of the administration to suspend
the constitutional rights of citizens and inaugurate the
tyranny practiced by the former czar. Yet at the same time
the Oregonian and its candidate affect great concern lest the
League of Nations destroy the sacred constitution, which
they themselves would nullify to preserve.

Along the pleasant highways, and by the rural homes,
through cool and shady byways, the snorting terror roams.

I no copper stiver for human limbs or lives. The auto, wisely
driven, is not innately bad; it is a blessing given to man, to
make him glad. When it is sanely guided along the teeming
ways, it seldom is derided by bards or kindred jays. But oh,
the locoed chuffer who to the highway takes, nor cares how
many suffer, so he some record breaks ! And oh, the beard

transferred to the Egyptian people, and shall not "be con
strued as a recognition by the United States of any sovereign
rights over the Egyptian people in Great Britain or as de
priving the people of Egypt of any of their rights of self
government and independence" ((C. R.r8759).
On March 18, 1920, Senator Gerry (Rhode Island) pro
posed the following reservation:
In consenting to the ratification of the treaty with Germany the
United States adheres to the principle of self-determination and to the
resolution of sympathy with the aspiration of the Irish poeple for a
government of their own choice adopted by the Senate June 6, 1919.
(7) Harding voted to lay the Gerry reservation on the
table, thus killing it without the necessity for a direct vote
(C. R., 4830), but the motion was lost.
(8) He voted for an amendment striking out "the prin
ciple of self-determination," thus committing the Senate
against that principle (C. R., 4831). The amendment was
lost.
(9) He voted for Wadsworth's amendment limiting the
scope of the reservation thus: "The United States adheres
to the principle of self-determination as heretofore applied
by it" (C. R., 4836). The amendment was lost.
(10) He voted against Lodge's amendment limiting the
approval of self-determination to "self-determination for the
people of Ireland," (C. R., 4837) which might have made the
reservation easier to pass; The amendment was lost.
(11) Finally, he voted against the Gerry resolution it
self (C. R., 4839) , thus squarely opposing self-determination
for the people of Ireland or any other country.
In view of these votes on March 18, Harding's letter of
March 20 addressed to Frank P. Walsh is very interesting:
I have a very great sympathetic feeling for the movement to bring
about the independence of Ireland and the establishment of Irish
nationality, which is the national aspiration of every liberty-loving
No less interesting is what happened after this letter was
published in the Westminister Gazette. Announcement was
made from Senator Harding s office on June 19 that a
search of the files failed to disclose a record of any such let
ter, and the candidate stated that he had no recollection of
having written any. Thereupon Mr. Walsh gave out the
letter here, and the Senator's secretary gave out a fresh
statement saying:
"There was no hedging, and no attempt to cheat about
it. The letter is undoubtedly authentic."

Simon Screecher hesitated. But

Cox Pleased By
Accommodations,
Letter States
Through Dr. C. J. Smith, state
chairman of the democratic state
central committee, Governor Cox
has expressed appreciation of the
manner in which Salem's largest
hostelry took care of the president
ial candidate's party. September 12
and 13.
In a letter to Alfred N. Pierce,
manager of the Hotel Marion, Dr.
Smith states that Governor Cox,
while resting from the effects of
his tour, had stayed for a longer
period at the Salem ostelry than
in many of the larger cities of the
west and that the Ohioan had been
very much pleased with Salem's ho
tel accommodations.
Manager Pierce has been in
charge of the Marion for about six
months coming here from Portland
where he had the management of
the Seward hotel.
