TRYING AN OLD SWINDLE IN A
NEW WAY
The same political Ponzis who swin
dled the American people at the polls
in 1916 with the most unscrupulous
confidence game ever perpetuated
upon the unsuspecting—the “he keeps
us out of war” hoax—are at it again.
They are appealing to the very same
elements “taken in” by this 1916
phraseological fraud, with the claim
that Wilson and Cox stand for inter
national co-operation for the preserva
tion of world’s peace, while Harding
and Coolidge and the Republican party
was to prevent the adoption of any
plan whereby the world may beat
its swords into ploughshares and its
spears into pruning hooks.
It does seem strange that the same
politicians who put over this “keeps
us out of war” humbug four years
ago could now get a serious hearing
from any considerable number of peo
pie in behalf of their new nostrum
for keeping us out of war. But a cele
brated American showman said that
there is a sucker born every minute
and perhaps these politicians think the
crop grown in four years is big enough
to warrant the hope that their 1916
swindle will work again.
\ It was true in 1916 that the course
followed by President Wilson was cer
tain not to keep us out of war, but
to get us into war. The worst of it
is, that when President Wilson and
Mr. Cox made speeches in 1016 de
claring that they were for peace and
Judge Hughes was for war, they were
in position to know, and did know, as
well as anybody, what was coming
They did not care, seemingly, if they
were sowing a crop that would be
reaped in a whirlwind of revolution ii
the Republican presidential candidate
were elected and their chances and
prophecies had seemingly been ful
filled. Because of their campaign
statements millions of people would
have believed in case of Republican
success, that our getting into the wai
was because the election went against
the party in power. The conscience
less character of the appeal made in
1916 in the advertisement printed by
the Democratic national committee In
the closing hours of the campaign is
better understood when the results
that would have been followed in case
Judge Hughes had been elected and
war had come, are contemplated.
The Republican party does not stand
in this campaign for a selfish, isolated
and unsympathetic nationalism, even
invoked in behalf of such a republic
as ours. It is pledged to go as far in
international co-operation for world
justice and world peace as we can go
without the sacrifice of American
rights, interests, ideals and security^
The man or the party that would go
further is insufficiently American. The
Bible says that the man who does not
look after the .welfare of his own
household is worse than an infidel.
•The man who is willing to take big
chances on the welfare of. his own
country and his own countrymen mere
ly in order that he may experiment
with some theory of world govern-1
ment, is less than a patriot and good
citizen.
Any man has the right to make arty
sacrifice he wishes in behalf of others.
That sort of sacrifice is noble, even
when blindly or foolishly made. But
the American citizen who is willing
to sacrifice the safety of his own
countrymen in behalf of some pre
conceived idea of his own is not half
as noble and sacrificing as he claims
to be. He is a patriot after t^ie pat
tern of Artemas Ward: “Determined
to put down the rebellion even at
the sacrifice of all his wife’s rela
tions.” When some of the big talk
that is heard in high places about
being “unselfish” in our attitude tow
ard the rest of the world is analyzed,
we find it akin to that of the man
who sits on the pier and talks elo
quently to his wife about her duty
to jump into the ocean and save a
bystander who has fallen into the sea.
Just as Republicans believed and
said in 1916 that President Wolson’s
policies were not keeping us out but
getting us into war, so they say now
that the un-Americanized treaty and
covenant, with Article X requiring the
American people to send soldiers into
every war that may begin anywhere
in the world, is not a device to bring
peace to this land, but to put it per
petually in the shadow of war. The
League of Nations as it was written
at Paris is a combination of imperial
ism and communism. It represents
imperialistic expansion and aggression
by some of the powers, but so far as
this country is concerned it represents
sacrifice of our safety, our interests,
our rights and our ideals.
The Republican party stands where
Theodore Roosevelt stood in the mat
ter of the League of Nations. It
stands for a league of justice as con
trasted with this proposed league of
toree. it stanus 101 me prumuuuu m
the rights of this nation to cling to
its own institutions and ideals. Not a
reservation was proposed by Republi
cans in the senate giving to this na
tion the right of aggression against
any other nation, the right to take
j from any other nation what belongs
to it. The reservations adopted by the
senate, and to which President Wilson
was so much opposed that he killed
the league and treaty rather than ac
| cept them, safeguard things that have
| been considered fundamental in Amer
| icanism from the days of the founding
of this republic.
The Republican party is not respon
sible for the failure of the League of
Nations. For that, one wilful man is
wholly responsible, because he insisted
upon misrepresenting his country at
Paris and then tried to coerce a co
ordinate branch of the national govern
ment into a betrayal of the duty it
was sworn to perform. With him it
was the Wilson league or nothing; he
would not yield an inch to any plan
for safeguarding America in the adop
tion of the covenant and treaty. Gov.
Cox says he is absolutely one with
Mr. Wilson. This means that if Mr.
Cox is elected there will be a resump
tion of tile fight for the adoption of
the un-Americanized covenant. The
end of such a contest is certain be
cause it is now sure that at least
one-third of the membership of the
next senate will be opposed to any
league scheme which puts America
last, and in the destruction of what
this nation stands for, would kill the
world’s last and best hope of the rule
of justice throughout the world rath
er than the sway of force. This is
the issue as it stands. Every man
who wants to make the world safe
for America must cast his ballot
against those who think of this repub
lic last, if ever, when they begin to
develop their ambitious plans for the
world’s reconstruction.

Cupid seems to have deserted Val

Anchorage is taking on the airs of
a city, with its score of autos hustling
about, transporting people here and
there, with a swell motion picture the

us, and vigorously contested baseball
games to attract us to the public park
on Sundays and holidays.—Anchorage

Douglas is becoming the seat of
learning of the north. Girls raised

every part of Alaska to teach school
and take Douglas culture to the homes

Mining is taking on greater activity
in the vicinity of Ketchikan than in
several years and indications are that
some of the properties that have long
been idle, owing to the war and war
conditions, will be operating soon.—

Clothes Purer than the
Milk You Drink
All of us have learned through our studies of personal hygiene and
sanitation that if we would best safeguard our health, our clothes
should be sterilized as well as washed. *
It is our understanding of this fact that makes our laundering
methods superior to those of the laundress. When you send us
your family bundle we return it to you purer than the milk you
drink.
Milk is supposed to be for use after it has been pasteurized,
or held at a temperature of from 131 to 151 degrees for a few
minutes.
After washing clothes as we wash them—in pure water at 180
degrees—and drying them in a current of clean, fresh air at 250
degrees, your things approach nearer to perfect purity than the
milk you serve on your table. ^
To be sure of clothes cleanliness and clothes purity, telephone
us. We will have our driver call for your family bundle.
