The President’s Address
On the Treaty
In his address to the senate, a
week ago, asking for the ratifi
cation of the peace treaty, Pres
ident Wilson reached the zenith
in clarity and felicity of express
ion, as well as loftiness in
thought. While it won’t allay
opposition, from those who are
bitterly partisan, who will doubt
less do their utmost to have the
treaty rejected, yet we predict it
will find warm support from the
nation at large, so much so, that
its opponents will beware of go
ing too far.
In the concluding parrgraph
the President strikes the pro
phetic note and lifts us up to the
mount of vision:
“The stage is set, the destiny
disclosed. It has come about by
no plan of our conceiving, but by
the hand of God, who led us into
this way. We cannot turn back.
We can only go forward with
lifted eyes and freshened spirit
to follow the vision. It was of
this that we dreamed at our
birth. America shall in truth
show the way. The light streams
upon the oath ahead and no
where else.
To all of which we respond
with a hearty Amen. For there
is a power outside of ourselves
which makes for righteousness,
and this power is that of God,
Who holds the nations in the
hollow of His Hand and is calling
us to fulfill our destiny by boldly
venturing on an apparently new
path, but which is in reality, but
the continuation of that, in which
our feet were first set. when we
became a nation.
Pro. Brodie, of the Oregon
City Enterprise, rightly rebuked
those Irishmen who hissed the
name of the President recently
in New York. The next thing
they will be sending telegrams
of condolences to the kaiser, if
he should 1 h * brought before a
eourt convened in England. Ha
tred effects queer combinations.
Bryan at the Chautauqua
A large audience numbering
about seven thousand turned out
to listen to William J. Bryan last
Sunday evening. Although his
voice was not in first rate condi
tion, he could, however, be dis-1
tinctly heard by all present. He
began by reminding his hearers
that several measures, which he
had years back, advocated and
for which he had been ridiculed
and criticized, had now been
adopted, such as for instance the
election of senators by direct
vote of the people, prohibition
and woman suffrage. He then
advocated federal ownership of
interstate monopolies and state
ownership of monopolies strictly
within the state. He met the
objection that government con
trol was a fiasco during the war in
railroad lines, by saying it had
not had a fair trial, as the men
who managed the railroads were
interested in having go vernment
control proved a failure. He
warmly eulogized the league of
nations but objected to the pact
whereby the United States, i
France and Great Britain were
to stand together if France was
attacked by Germany. This he
contended stultified the league
at the start.
We think Mr. Bryan’s defense
of government ownership weak,
as there is no evidence that it
fell because the men in the lead-1
ing positions of the railroads de
liberately wrecked that policy,
and as to the agreement between i
the United States, France and j
Great Britain, that is only to
make assurance doubly sure, like j
the little girl who prayed that I
her brother’s traps might not |
catch any birds, and then went
and kicked the old traps t6 pieces.
