THE POLITICAL HUMBUG.
Every one knows that Hughes
owes his nomination to the Old
Guard of the republican party. He
is essentially a machine made can
didate. He was taken off the
Supreme Bench with his halo of
judicial righteousness still opale
scent. and named as republican can
didate. There is nothing elevating
or progressive about him. and
Hughes himself in all his utterances
has been quite candid, if uninten
tionally, in showing that he is just
as reactionary as a political candi
date can well he—as Taft for in
stance.
With those theories of political
activities which were generated with
such fecundity under the ardent
rays of the Rooseveltian sun, when
the Colonel had become so progress
ive and so protestant against reac
tion and privilege, Hughes has been
neither in sympathy nor support. He
owes his elevation 10 me oupiemc
Bench to Taft who saw in him a fel
low idealist for things as they
are.
Roosevelt himself watched the can
didacy of Hughes before his nomi
nation with much opposition. He
hinted unkind things and he uttered
objectionable things. He even as the
last resort, mentioned that arch-re
actionist Henry Cabot Lodge as a
proper compromise between utter
reaction as represented by the Pen
rose Candidate Hughes, and the
Colonel’s own’progressive candidate
Roosevelt.
But the machine, with the ruthless
power of a political juggerment rol
led on and flattened out the pro
gressivism of the Bull Moose, and
the ambitions of its leader Roose
velt. It was not at the 1912 Chi
cago convention, but at the 1916
con* ntion that Teddy got steam
rolled to the queen’s taste.
Xow then, today despite the posi
tive facts of Hughes reaction; de
spite the fact that the Taft mine
and the Hughes mind are as like as
two peas in the same pod. we lia^s
all those heroically minded pro
gresses'. like Hiram Johnson, lik(
Gifford Pinchot, like Roosevelt, leap
ing over themselves to support th<
later day Taft in the person of Gov
error Hughes.
All of which goes to show us th<
genial humbug is this republicar
and progressive blatherskite.
But it is wonderful how many b
misled. One might as well poim
out possible developments such as
have developed In the present, tc
former Bull Moosers as one mighi
have polntSd out to the obsessed
Wilsonites, the equal folly of theli
obsession. Wilson doer, not act mon
loftily, nobly, elevatingly and up
liftingly than did the leaders of th<
Progressive party act in 1912. Ted'
dy had the millenium in his hil
pocket; Pinchot had a Utopia by tht
tail with a down hill pull, and the
whole bunch had panaceas, quan
tum suff.. in their grips to admi
nister tfo a long suffering people fot
tlic asking. Today they have drop
ped all this paraphenalia. Teddy
hasn’t the heart to pack around the
bag of reformist tricks ther.e days
Will Wilson have in a later elee
tion? We rather guess not. Bui
it takes time to enlighten us. and
the public pays dear for its enlight
raent.
! RELIGIOUS TOMMY ROT.
An address delivered upon Liber
ty by Cardinal O'Connell was insert
ed in the Congressional Record al
the instance of a Mr. Tague. Doubt
less Mr. Tague thought every won
of it true.
One passage ih the discourse is
peculiarly interesting in that the
speaker blames the war upon the
irreligion of the Europeans. That’s
a novel idea. We have seen almost
every excuse given but the one that
, non-sectarianism was the cause ot
1 the war. What the Cardinal said
ion this point was:
"And even today, poor, blood
I drenched Europe, though she strive
i to hide even from her own eyes even
i the true cause of this suicidal war,
i is at last thoroughly convinced that
the Voltaires and the Vivians, the
Haeckels and the Nietsches, the Tol
stois and the Huxleys, the Kants
and all the rest of the monstrous
brood, who for now many years
have impoisoned the thought and
embittered the heart of the student
youth are now reaping their
terrible and abundant harvest.”
Of course that is tommy rot.
I Could it be possible to imagine any
persons have had less to do with
the war than the very men who have
been cited? On the other hand the
position of the Emperor of Austria
in the Catholic Church, the Tzar o:
Russia in the Orthodox Church, the
, King of England in the English
j Church and the Kaiser as the
I strongest Lutheran monarch in the
| world are proof sufficient that not
atheism caused this war, but the
i Christian paganism of up to date
j commercialism.
The Emperor of Austria shares
: precisely the same ideas as to the
! Church and State does Cardinal
O'Connell. The Kaiser shares the
same orthodox views on the rights
of property as his Eminence. The
, Tzar would be heartily in accord
with the suggestive insinuations as
to the need of suppressing liberal
! ism, and so on down the line.
It is the agnostic who can stand
with accusing finger in this war and
ask what of the thousand years of
Christian teachings that have infest
1 ed every land and every school and
1 everv college? Is this war the final
ity of churchianity? Is this the last
exponent of that state-craft version
of the Religion of Love that has
justified serfdom and slavery and
wage exploitation and bowed before
property rights as sacro-sanct?
It is painful to have to listen to
' ■ buncombe of this kind peddled
[ ! this day and age, when right to day
| clergy are jabbing one another with
1 | bayonets and bishops are blessing
c I r.ubmersibles and battleships. The
! i radical socialist whether agonostic
’ oh not, and the man exercising un
c warped private common sense knows
1 that the sort of stuff peddled by His
Eminence is tommy rot, pure and
* simple.
Wasn’t it written “By their fruit
: ye shall know them”? And isn't it
pretty bum fruit the religionists are
’ j submitting for European tasting to
day? “Love one another? That in
junction has been most ceremonlous
riy forgotten long ago, often at the
j stake.
