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.
