LOYALTY TO A PRESIDENT DOES
NOT IMPLY LOYALTY TO A
POLITICIAN
When it is claimed by “keynot<
speakers” at a Democratic nations
convention, speaking, presumably, ir
behalf of their party and the admin
istratiori, that the Republican party
“wronged” President Wilson, thal
it has failed in proper loyalty to hiir
as president, that “the relentless hanc
of malice has beat upon the sicli
chamber,” and that the physical and
mental breakdown of President Wil
son is due to opposition of Republi
cans to his program, it is time tc
answer folly with facts.
The truth is that every precedent
of American politics has been broken
in the patriotic unanimity with whicfc
Republicans supported President Wil
son, as President, from the moment
the nation entered the shadow of a
war.
Without hesitation they voted to his
administration program for the sup
port of tne war of such immensity
that the imagination was staggered
by them.
They assented to war legislatior
placing in his hands power without
precedent in its autocracy in Ameri
can annals because it was claimed
that war necessity required*it.
They gave to the chief executive
more whole-hearted support than his
own party gave him in all the legisla
tion actually having to do with the
prosecution of the war; this is a mat
ier oi oinciai record.
As citizens they bought the gov
ernment’s bonds, they subscribed tc
every war charity* they volunteered
as soldiers, they organized auxiliares
of the government for war purposes
in the several states, with an enthu
siasm and unanimity wihch put the
-> administration’s own party to shame
They gave better official support tc
President Wilson than the Republi
cans themselves gave to Lincoln in
the earlier days of the civil war.
And in this the Republican record
stood out in startling contrast with
that of the Federalists during the war
of 1812, the Whigs during the Mexi
can war and the Democrats of the
Union states during the civil war. In
hi% speech at the San Francisco con
vention Senator Robinson said it was
fortunate that the Republicans were
not in power during the world war,
and that is probably true because if
the Democratic politicians of 1917-18
19 had followed the precedents estab
lished by the Democrats of the
sixties they would have declared the
war “a failure” in national convention
in the midst of the struggle. If they
had followed the example of the
Democrats in Congress in 1898 they
would have refused to vote for mea
sures issuing bonds and levying taxes
for the support of the war.
And in what spirit was this splen
did, patriotic support received by
>
President Wilson? He chose to regard
the war as a partisan enterprise. He
used it to the limit for the further
ance of personal and partisan ends.
His cabinet remained partisan. His
appointments continued to be parti
san. He saw nothing in the war ex
cept an opportunity to immortalize
himself and render his own partisan
organization invincible. Abandoning
the precedents established by Lincoln
and McKinley he carried on two wars
at once,—the war with the real enemy
and the war with the Republican
party which was giving him such un
divided support. Hence the narrow,
partisan campaign letter of 1918
which brought from the people of the
United States such an overwhelming
vote of condemnation and repudia
tion, despite which President Wilson
has continued to represent himself as
the sole representative of the Ameri
can people.
The crime chargeable against Re
publicans is not that of failing to sup
port Woodrow Wilson as chief ex
ecutive of the nation or as command
er-in-chief of the army and navy of
bis own personal partisan organiza
tion, engaged, not in promoting the
interests of all the people of the
United States, but in building up a
gigantic instrumentality of personal
power exerted to the injury and not
the upbuilding of the people and
their government. They have op
posed and will continue to oppose
and condemn the inefficiency, waste
fulness and intolerant, proscriptive
partisanship displayed in the manage
ment of the war. They t have op
posed and will continue to oppose and
condemn and prevent the sacrifice of
the rights, interests and ideals of the
American nation as undertaken
through the league of nations. That
Jo oil
The Republican party throws back
defiantly into the teeth of those whc
make it th.e charge that it has failed
in loyalty to the administration in
anything that it has undertaken fox
the good of the nation, rather than
for the selfish aggrandizement of an
individual or a political party. Tt de
dines to accept responsibility for the
physical and mental ailments of Pres
ident Wilson, whatever their real
' cause may be. It charges that Pres
ident Wilson himself is responsible
through his narrow, personal stub
borness, his selflsli ambition to con
stitue himself the whole government
of the United States, for betweer
lack of co-operation there has beer
between the legislative and executive
branches of government during the
past sixteen months.
The difficulty under which these
Democratis spokesmen are laboring is
that they are unable to differentiate
between loyalty to the Democratic
party and to its dictator, and loyaltj
t to the government of the Unitec
States. When loyalty to one and loy
alty to the other confilcts, these rub
ber stamp politicians choose the nar
rower, and the Republican party the
broader allegiance. The administra
tion politicians think in terms oi
Wilsonism and partisan Democracy;
Republicanism thinks in terms ol
American nationality.
For the first time in Americax
history the Republican party, during
the world war, furnished an example
of a party of opposition giving better
support to the government in war
time, then the party in power itself
This statement is not a matter ol
opinion; the truth of it is demonstra
ble by the record. And for the firs!
time in American history an Ameri
can president has continued to regard
himself, in war time, as more the
head of a political party, more a per
sonal leader, than head of a great gov
ernment, and he has controlled events
in so far as he could control them
with an eye for personal and partisan
rather than to a national aggrandize
ment.
With amazing effrontery the spokes
men of such an administration at
tempt to portray such an executive as
a “martyr” to the “malice” and “dis
loyalty” of the opposition. They must
suppose the people of this country
are as easily" imposed upon now as
when the Democratic leaders swindled
millions with the campaign slogan:
“He kept us out of war.”
Well, you will have to admit that
there is one job on which the admin
istration’s grand army of place holders
doesn’t loaf, and that is in rounding
up and rope-tying a Democratic na
tional convention.
The politicians in Paris and Lon
don, in contemplating what President
Wilson put over abroad, feel about
like the professors in the University
of Copenhagen after they had exam
ined Dr. Cook’s polar proofs.
Samuel Gompers, the well known
Democratic leader, says that the Re
publicans failed to promise labor
much. It does seem strange that after
Mr. Gompers and his fellow Democrats
had complete control of the govern
i
«
ment for six years, there is so much
left to promise labor.
Convention oratory went out when
forty acre conventions came in.
Four years ago the Democratic
slogan was “He kept us out of war.”
This time all the federal place holders’
convention of San Francisco had in
mind was “He kept us in our jobs.”
Certainly George Creel had to be on
hand to help write the Democratic
platform, for George knows more
things that ain’t so than any other
fiction writer since Baron Munchau
sen.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Until we receive deserved recogni
tion from the Alaska road commission
the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
should - continue the comprehensive
campaign for “Good Roads.” As evi
dence of what “Good Roads” mean to
this community is cited in the case
of the Cache Creek Dredging Com
pany which suspended operations
this year cn account of lack of roads
and the preparations for extensive
operation next year on account of re
cent activity by the commission in
the placer district.—Anchorage Daily
Times.
Anchorage and Valdez are in a
squabble over labor. It is claimed
at Anchorage that the boats are
met at Valdez and men consigned to
the Alaska Railroad Commission are
enticed off the boats to work on the
government highways. Labor is about
the scarcest commodity in Alaska at
the present time, and the saying
about ‘“steals my purse and good
name” should be paraphrased to
read, “but he who steals my rough
neck .”—Douglas News.
FESTJVALHELD
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug., 2 (by As
sociated Press).—A Bohemian-Orient
al festival was recently held in China
town here to swell funds for the pro
posed $2,500,000 San Francisco war
memorial building. It presented a
gala appearance to the American
coming to the Chinese quarter, with
its gay lanterns, gaudy bunting,
firecrackers, and rich incense.'"
Chinese actors were performing on
a platform erected in Waverly
Square, while in another corner a
Chinese band was playing its weird
music. Strolling. Italian musicians
mingled wit hthe crowds and the gay
attire of a number of art studies
added to the animation of the scene.
Fan-tan, bunglaa and other games,
fortune telling. Chinese cabarets,
where noodles, tea, savory cakes and
rich preserves were served, were of
fered to the amusment seeker.
Prominent California artists made
quick sketches and sold them to aug
ment the fund, part of which will be
devoted to a building for the art de
partment of the University of Cali
fornia.
J
i TRAVELERS ROUGHLY
HANDLED BY GERMANS
THE HAGyE, Aug. 2 (by Associat
ed Press).—As an example of the
strict vigilance of the German cus
toms officers in order to save their
country from being drained of valu
ables, the Handelsplad says 7,000,
000 marks worth of diamonds and
600,000 marks have been confiscated
at Blenheim, the Dutch frontier sta
tion. The travellers to Holland are
submitted to a very close search.
Sometimes even the soles are ripped
from shoes in order to search for
diamonds and money.
DESTROYER FLEET MAKES
RECORD RUN TO NORTH
Under command of Admiral Hugh
Rodman, U. S. N., commander-in-chief
of the Pacific Fleet, the destrows
carrying Secretary of the Navy Den
iels and Secretary of the Interior
Payne made a record run from
Seattle to Ketchikan, Alaska, in less
than thirty-six hours. Through the
tortuous and narrow channels of the
inland passage the destroyer^ were
pushed at night at a speed of twenty
knots by the Admiral, and reduced
the best previous run from Seattle of
forty-one hours by more than five
hours. Few ships have made this
voyage in less than fifty-two hours.
Secretary Daniels, Secretary Payne
and Governor Riggs, of Alaska, ar
rived at Ketchikan at seven a. m. on
July 12.—Army and Navy. Journal.

TAUGHT HOW TO CUT
COST OF HOME FOOD
AUSTIN, Tex., Aug. 2 (by Associ
ated Press).—Young women students
in the home economics department at
the University of Texas are learning
how to cut the cost of feeding a fam

is to get a meal, but toward the finish
of the course the young woman has
also to turn out the finished product
cheap.
The university expects Its young ex
perts to cut about half off the cost of
a lunch by switching desserts and
leaving off biscuits. Here Is a sam
ple of its before and after college
menus:
For 45 cents a plate for four per
sons: Salmon croquettes, mashed po
tatoes, iced tea, tomato salad, biscuit,
strawberries and ice cream.
For 24 cents a plate for four per
sons (toward the end of the course):
Creamed tuna fish on toast, French
fried potatoes, apple and celery salad,
hot tea, lemon pie.
After the show drop into the Alaskan
Grill and enjoy a prime cup of coffee
and French puff pastry. 20-tf
