SCIO, OREGON, JUNE 17. 1920 RULE OR RUIN. There are far loo many people in th«- world who are actuate«! by th«1 principle of "rule or ruin.” Anv jieraon ia warranted in having his own way. providing that the major ity of the ptople of his nation, state, county, town, or organization, pub lic nr private, give their assent If he or she fails to convince such an one that his ia the lietter way. ami some other way ia chosen, then it ia the duty of the defeated to j«dn in and help mak«* a succeas of the me thod chooen, if such shall lie possible The determination of Germany to rul«* or ruin brought grief, suffer ing nnd I om upon the world, but in the end Germany will suffer the greatest loss and will suffer during the longest period, Mexico has lieen destroyed herself aa a nation iMCcause of numerous ae|f appointed rulers who are incapable to rule that turbulent people, have placed themselves in positions of power an«! prove themselves not big enough to master the situation for any great length of time. So in our <>wn nation have men and who set themselves up aa so- calle«l leaders, destroyed the possi bility of the success of their party or organization by failing to !«e big enough to bring about success They cannot nr will not supplant selfish purpose or desire with a purpose to do what will lie tiest for all the peo pie. -Many of these rule or ruiners seem to be willing to resort to any means, fair or unfair, to accomplish their purpose. General Wood might have lieen Chicago’s nominee for president if he and his friends had not spent more than a million dol- lara in the primary campaign Like wise Governor Lowden might have lx*«*« the nominee in Chicago if he had not bought the infiuence of del- egates in Missouri. Such methods are un democratic and un American in this day and age of our nation. True, the old guard brought about the nomination of Senator Harding of Ohio for president, and Governor Coolidge of MamachusetUi for vice president by the political trick of manipulating the convention when a few hours prior thereto they per mitted the adopt iop of a platform which will prove a heavy handicap to the candidates and may cause the defeat of the ticket. The Tribune will not undertake to say the ticket will lie defeated in November though with a platform displeasing to both labor and not pleasing to the prohibition and with a considerable portion of the con vention as mad aa march hares, the nominees have a hard fight on their hands The handiwork of the old guard ni-’v please the manufacturing in ter ««to and cuocm ns which have axes to grind for reasons l«est known to themselves, and may lie prepared to supply all the slush money required, but the ticket nominated will not please the rank and file of the peo ple and the»- arc the boys wh«> sup ply the votes. The old guard while it worked quietly and desire«! their work to be wholly under cover, ruled the «•«in vention just as it did in 1912. But a large minority under the leader ship of Koosewlt denounced the rule of the old guard and brought an overwhelming defeat of the republi can party. Four years later Hiram Johnson, another lule or ruin poli tician. defeated t'harh s E Hughes, the republican nominee of 'hat rear . Within a short time the country will lie heard from when w«* will know just how the |>e.«pl« like the idea of the old guard rule. The re sult of tlte convention is reactionary and the progreanivenews of the party ami the reaping of whalgood results which could I m 1 gathered from are cast into the discard LEAGUE OF NATIONS PLANK. ■ "We favor a libera, ami generous foreign policy, founded upon defin ite moral am! political principle, characterized by a clear umterstand- ing of and firm adh’-ri'nro our own rights ami unfailing respect for the rights of others. We should afford full and adequate protection to the life liberty and property and all in ternational rights of every American citizen ami should r«*<|uire a proper respect for the American flag, but we should lie equally caridul tn manifest u just regard for th^ rights of other nations A scrupulous ole arrvanev of our international engage ments when lawfully assume«! is es sential to our own honor and self respect and th«* respect of other na tions. Subject to a new regard for our international obligations, we should leave our country fr«*e to de velop its eivilation along the lines moat conducive t«> the happiness and welfare of the people, and to cast its influence on the «ide of justice ami right should occasion require.” The Tribum- desires every one of its readers to r«-ad the above plank of the republican platform. It is necessary to give this plank a head line title else you will not know it is meant to state th.- party's position. Read it carefully ami see if you can find anv reference to the league. Read it a third lime and see if you can fix in your mind whether the Chicago convention was for or op posed to the league. Something over 150 words are used and for what? To say or d«*clare nothing more than a lot of platitudes which say nothing about the i«Mgue. it is intende«! to lie construed in any way the reader desires ami not to off «-mi the old guard. The bitterenders, the Ixwige rrs- ervationiata, the mil«! reservalionista. or even thorn* who adhere to*the Versailles treaty as President Wilson brought it home, any or all of them can accept it without conaciencious scruples for it a nothing, declares nothing definite and is the most col- oaaal straddle of J he age. SENATOR LODGE The vitriolic and very nearly vic ious s|eech Senator iaalge delivered as keynoter for the Chicago conven tion cannot I m * but a source of hu miliation t«> those who are high minded and high thinking. Remove his vitriolic assertions at>out Presi dent Wilson and hui administration fr««m the address and it would be a tame, e«»ld blooded affair, which would be but a source of harm tn his party. The platforms of the republican party have heretofore !>een fair, open, and above board, without hes- ilaiMm in «tecianiwr the principles and recommendations of the party, especially when Mwuee were standing out declaring the attitude of that party. For instance: In 1K60. when sla very was the outstanding issue of the nation, the then young republi can party did not hesitate to declare its opposition to the spree«! of slav ery. Or in IRHfl. when the gold standard was a dominating issue, that party did not desitate to dec lare <>utright for gold even when a laige minority strongly favored free silver. Now, when the league of nations is a very prominent and pressing imue. that party gives us a declara tion of platitudes which says ami means nothing or everything, which ever you like. Mr. Ixaige as keynoter could have change«! all thia. Ih- could have so enthuse«! the convention that it would have drolared for or again»* the league, or the league with r<-5 enations He could have so influ enced the convention that the coun try would have known where the party stands on the league. Aa it ia the ¡>eople know no more now how Mr. Lodge's party stands on the league of nations than they did be fore the Nth day of June. Th«- no call«*«! league plank is sim ply a cowardly straddle which dec- Is res nothing in relation to the league nor did not intend to declare anything. And thia. too. upon the leading issue licfnrc the An erican people today, for with the league question finally settled many of the other issues would soon be straiten ed out. A sa<l mistake was made in the selection of Ixidge for chairman. Befoie the league people thought Mr. Izxfge a statesman; now they know he ia but a small calibered. vicious.
