MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 11, 1920
A man has not enough range of
thought to look out for any good
which does not relate to his own
interest. Addison.
Confuaion Worn Confounded.
Governor Cox la In error. "League or no leaue
la not the or an issue of the campaign. So far aa the
League ot Nations la an issue at all. and in no form
is it a partisan issue, the questions la put thia way:
"What kind of a league?" Those who have considered
the aubject the most deeply and the most carefully
. are the most confused and uncertain. The only cock
sure citizens are the comparatively few partisans and
visionaries; those who are for the Wilson league be
cause it waa devised by Mr. Wilson; those who are
ngalnst any league because a small group ot senators
are opposed to any tongue; thost who favor the Wilson
league or any league because it points toward interna
tionalism. There has been no more confusing melange on the
subject of the League of Nations than that afforded
.by the Associated Press dispatches of yesterday morn
ing. The only thing tending toward clarification waa
contributed by former Iresldent Taft in reply to an
inquiry by Governor Cox why aa one of the chief ad
. vocatea of a League of Nations he was supporting
Senator Harding. Of the earnestness of Mr. Taft with
respect to the league there i no question. He has
been pointed to by Wilson Democrats and leaguers
generally aa the reason why Republicans should sup
port the league. But he la supporting Senator Hard
ing for the same reason that he was willing to accept
' the J.odge reservation. Though an early advocate o
the covenant in the form in which it was brought from
Versailles, he la hopeless of its adoption in that form.
In the view of Mr. Taft, the election of Senator Hard
ing and a Republican working majority In the senate
Ilea the only hope of any league.
Governor Cox, if elected president, could not put
the Wilson league through the senate, though every
ponding senatorial contest should be decided in favor
of the Democrats. As president, Governor Cox could
accept nothing less than the covenant,' or the covenant
with such reservations only aa would "make clearer
and more specific our obligations" to our associates
in the league; which would more tlgfitly bind upon ua
the burdens Imposed by the government.
Governor Cox denouncea Theodore Roosevelt aa
the shameless fcon of an illustrious father for denounc
ing the league because it could force ua into war.
Within a week the president himself has given Gov
ernor Cox that cue by declaring that under Article 10
war could not be forced upon us by the supreme coun
cil. He declares what The Republican showed at the
time of the league discussion in the senate, that our
constitution would still prevail and that congress alone
could send us to war. Then we may inqure, why in
sist upon Article 10. which Mr. Wilson earlier declared
was the "heart of the covenant"? If it purports to
effect anything. It purports to he able to assign league
members to mnitary operations against recalcitrant
nations. If It does not do that, it does nothing. It Is
n mere waste of words, a meaningless bluff.
Cut that Is what it does. It can not, of course,
" yet aside the constitutional power of the congress to
eiy whether or not the United States' shall go to war.
But if the council should assign us to military opera
tions abroad and congress, as in all probability it
would, fhould decline to exercise its constitutional
power, we should rightly be regarded as a recalcitrant
nation and would certainly incur the enmity, at least.
ut our associates In the league.
We have also Chairman Hays' quotation from
President Wilson when, six years ago, he was opposed
to any. alliance; when he endorsed the warning of
Washington against entangling Alliances and declared
that" that was not a warning against temporary condi
tions. "It was," said President Wilson, "not merely
because of transient and passing circumstances that
Washington said we must keep free from entangling
alliances. It was because he that no nation yet
had set Its fjee In the direction in which America was
going."
What of the forty-one nations which have sub
scribed to the Wilson covenant has set its face in that
direction? Mr. Wilson then occupied precisely the
ii.imo position occupied now by Senator Borah and
Senator Johnson, find he has rlnce given no reason
for hia change.
And lastly, we have the statement of Senator
Thomas, Democrat, of Colorado, giving eight reasons
why he is orP0lI to tnp Ipnt"p- nl("h n" ar lssue he
declares to be on the part of the Democrats a 'be
wildering camouflage of soothing verbosity."
ft Is no wonder that we are all in a state of con
fusion; tlwtt though many of us are desirous of a
world understanding through which we may escape
the wickedness of war. wo do not yet see he,w such an
pffectlvo contact
made without entanglement.
The Avoided Main Point. .
Some who heard the defense by Mr. Bullard of
tl land department, and those who expect with a
lepartm-nt constituted according to their tastes, to
t lke control cf the state's l.inda would call that ad
vo ate a dodger. We rather reject him for his adroit
. . n avoiding th main nurstion. whether or not any
,"rt f the sMte land", with th connivance of the de-L-tmei.t
have passed in per, tui.y into the hands of
, hi' cattle intrcsts. We think there is no rtn.,bt
,,,. much of the state land has been so .-pestered.
think that h-ther or not their control of the
1 wi't le prjTtiiated will depen 1 upon the length
';'fnti!,tn0 they may maintain their drag upon the de-
tit
i it n
, i r. . ir.1 with iih-nsurahle nntlcl-
e have i "
,., w-altli v.e !aeaU de.ivc from the sale
and leasing o' the lands with which the new state was
endowed. We expected them to be carefully safe
guarded for the benefit of all the peopk. We expected
a result of them under proper admin .stration would
be a reduction of our taxes. Some of us were, indeed,
so optimistic that we foresaw an early time when we
would have to pay no taxes at all. Yet, never in the
history o? Arizona, as a consequence of the prodigality
of the last legislation, have our taxen been so great
and so onerous.
Who have been the beneficiaries of the adminis
tration of the state lands? What homesteader? What
email cattleman? We look for then in vain. We
find only transfers of the state landn to the already
large domains of the great cattle companies.
It is true, as Mr. Bullard stated in his address,
that under a clause of these transfers these lands
may be recalled by the state. But will they be re
called? That will depend upon the administrator, and
that is why such a desperate effort is being made by
these interests to maintain a land department upon
which they may count not to interfere with their ag
gressions, past or future. t
Until within the last six months the land board,
though possessed ot the power of liretting the de
partment, exercised it only perfunctorily. It usuallly
only confirmed the action of the office of the com
missioner. Under this state of affairs the large live
stock interests were little concerned in the personnel
of the board. But now they are mightily concerned.
They know that In the election of other candidates than
Messrs. Simms, Ross and Jonea the land board will
have the ultimate word and will utter it against a
further sequestration of the state lands.
Thla la the isaue before the people. It la not the
democracy of the Democratic candidates or the repub
licanism of the Republican candidates.
It was camouflaged at the Saturday night meeting
by an advertised purpose to reft te the charges as
crookedness which Governor Carrpbell is felrlessly
making. There was no such refutation. So far as
concerned any controverting proof those charges still
stand. It may be argued that the burden of proof
rests with the governor. If ao, tome circumstantial
proof Is being daily adduced in new revelations of the
activities of the great live stock Interests in favor of
candidates upon whom they can dtpend.
The Gratitude of Governor Cox.
When Governor Cox is not ta king about the "oli
garchy" or the League of Natiomi, he is appealing to
the progressive sentiment of the American people. It
must, therefore, have been with a wrench even to
himself that he advised hia heaters at Terra Jlaute,
Ind., on Saturday, to vote for Tori Taggart for United
States aenator. Now, Mr. Tagg art's name has been
spread throughout the nation on the broad pinions of
fame, but he has never been heralded as a progressive.
Not the slightest suspicion of progressive tendencies
has ever attached to him. Even his bitterest political
enemies have never accused hln of a taint of pro
gressivism. Nor can anything in that direction be claimed for
his oppojV'nt, Senator Jim Walson, who we must admit
is a reactionary of a pronounceel and an objectionable
type. Yet he possesses a certaia advantage, a louder ,
call upon the suffrages of hia fallow citizens, by rea
son of having not been something that Mr. Taggart
has been, if he is not yet a garr.bling promoter.
Long a resident of Indianapolis, a few years ago
he found the restrictlona of that city with respect to.
gambling and the dispensing o! liquor too severe for
hia operations, so that he established himself and" an
American Monte Carlo at French Lick Springs, In
diana a resort that came to io infested by men and
women, too, of sporting proclivities and, altogether,
encouraged a clientele which would not have been wel
comed by many resorts.
Mr. Taggart through thia period waa engaged in
politics, or rather in the lower strata of politics, be
ginning some thirty-five yean ago with the .occupa
' tlon of a humble office in Indiana. Bnt he was a good
climber and four years ago te was appointed to the
United States senatorship, mi de vacant by the death
of Senator Shively of Indiana.
However distasteful it may have been for such an
apostle of morality and progressiveness as Governor
Cox to endorse the candidacy of Mr..Tagggart, it is
after all rather to hia credit that he has done so, since
it proves to us that among the many very admirable
qualities of the governor ia a lively sense of grajitude.
It was at Mr. Taggart's rabltat at French Lick, in
the expiring June days, thi t Charles F. Murphy of
New York, that other apos'le of light and political
purity, foregathered with him and laii the foundation
for that Greek phalanx which swept Governor Cox to
victory at San Francisco two weeks later.
If Governor Cox ahoull now have thrown Mr.
Taggart down or should have declined to sustain him,
he himself would richly deterve that defeat which Is
sure to be his anyhow.
Until now Mr. Bryan has never enjoyed the de
licious satisfaction of saying "I told you so." The
evils of neither the gold standard nor imperialism
ever materialized. But after November 2, gazing upon
the catastrophe, he can remind the Democracy of his
warning against the League of Nations and wetness.
Mr. Gompers has always Insisted that "labor is
not a commodity." He knows now more tnan ever,
after his vain effort to trinsfer it to the Democracy,
that he was right when ho declared that it was not a
commodity.
GREAT GIFT TO ART
From time to time trie fine arts receive an im
portant impetus from th devotion and resources of
an individual, and the influence while local In origin
is national in effect. Not long ago Louis Comfort
Tiffany announced his purpose to turn over to a
board of trustees eigh'y acrea and a number of
buildings of his beautiful estate at Cold Springs
Harbor, Long Island, together with his great art
collection there, and also an endowment of more than
a million dollars. Tht board of trustees includes
either on the board or on an advisory committee
such men as Robert W. de Forest, Daniel Chester,
French, Cass Gilbert. Robert Vonnoh and others.
Mr. Tiffany has worked in almost all the arts, but is"
best known as the inventor of the famous favrile
glass. The director rf this valuable art fund is
Stanley Lothrop. a grduate of Harvard In 1905.
This benefaction is to promote the practical applica
tion, drawing together .irtists of elementary training
and a serious purpose. It is desired to stimulate
love of beauty and invagination, and so permit art
development to be untrammeled by schools and con
ventions. The active work of the institution will
begin next May. This place, which Mr. Tiffany
really gives to his cou itry, is to offer artists serene
surroundings for normal activities. Mr. Tiffany
himself is said to be perhaps the best specimen
America has rroducedlof the all around artist. He
hepan as a painter, bA he is also an architect, nn
interior decorator anl landscape gardener. The
Tiffany estate in Lorg Island is named Laurelton
Hall.

Presidential Campaigns
XI. THE LINCOLN-McCLELLAN
RACE OF 1864
By Frederic J. Haskin
WASHINGTON. Oct. 9 It is diffi
cult for this generation, acknowledg
ing Abraham Lincoln as one of the
greatest of men and as the greatest
leader of the Republican party, to re
alize the fact that he won his nomina
tion and reelection to the presidency
in 1864 over the greatest obstacles.
Practically every leader In the Repub
lican party was opposed to Lincoln's
renomination. Nearly every prominent
Republican in the country believed
that Lincoln could not defeat General
McClellan if he were renominated. But
the people of the whole North rose up
In their might, ran rough shod over the
politicians and instructed their dele
gates to vote for "Old Abe."
Months after the nomination was
made it seemed certain that McClellan
would be elected. The Republican
campaign leaders gave up hope and
Lincoln himself admitted defeat. Two
months before the election the tide
turned the other wav. thanks to a
Democratic blunder and a victory won
by the Union armies in the south.
The Democratic party had been a
wonderful political machine and had
dominated the country for 60 years. It
had been more powerful in the North
than in the kuth for a goodly portion
of that six decades. It was too strong
in the North to die in a brief four
years. So greatly did the Republican
organization fear it, notwithstandlnng
its broken condition, that the Repub
lican leaders deliberately abjured their
party name and called a national
"Union." convention to meet at Balti
more early in June. The "Union"
party it was that renominated Lin
coln, not the Republican.
Two Kinds of Democrats
The Democrats of the states remain
ing in the Union were divided into
two camps war Democrats and peace
Democrats. Both factions were rather
free with their criticism of Lincoln's
administration, but neither could say
the hard things that the "Radical Re
publicans"' were saying. The peace
Democrats were those who believed in
letting the southern states go, or in
anything to bring peace. They were
all accused, and many were guilty, of
being in sympathy with the Confed
erates. They were the dough-faces
who had supported Fierce and Bu
chanan and Breckinridge in the past.
They were now the hated and despised
"Copperheads." One of the more pleas
ant Republican campaign songs of the
period was:
"Of nil the factious men we've seen,
Existing now or long since dead.
No one was ever known bo mean,
As him we call a Copperhead,
A draft-evading Copperhead,
A rebel-aiding Copperhead,
A scowling, slandering, howling pan
dering, Vicious, States-Rights' Copperhead."
If the Copperheads were hated, they
were not so dangerous to Lincoln poli
tically as the "radicals" ot his own
party. He knew where to place the
Copperheads, but it was hard for him
to fight the radicals like Fremont,
Thad Stevens, Ben Wade and others
of that ilk who were opposed to him
because he would not agree to the con
fiscation of all private property in the
South. It was even more difficult for
Lincoln to meet the determined opposi
tion of men like Salmon P. Chase,
William H. Seward and Edwin M.
Stanton who held him in ill-concealed
contempt. And it was painful to Lin
coln to see men like Horace Greeley
and Charles Sumner openly oppose hia
renomination en the ground that he
could not possiMy be elected.
Enemies Within the Ranks
The "Radical Republicans held a
national mass convention at Cleveland
a week in advance of the "Union"
convention at Baltimore. John C. Fre
mont was nominated for president and
John Cockrane for vice president, and
the platform declared for the confis
cation of all property in the Confed
erate states. There were comparatively
few prominent leaders In the conven
tion, but it was the purpose to influ
enco the Baltimore convention to take
a radical stand. Lincoln had already
been nominated. Jn fact, because more
than two-thirds of the delegates to
Baltimore had been instructed. How
ever, the leaders might doubt Lincoln,
the people believed in "Honest Abe."
Assured of his own renomination
Lincoln set about the task of getting a
war Democrat and a southerner for
his running mate. Andrew Johnson of
Tennessee was nominated because Lin
coln personally conducted the cam
paign for his selection. He. wanted to
get the support of the war Democrats
and he wanted to have s, southerner on
the ticket because of its effect in Eu
rope. Lincoln held to the belief that
secession was unconstitutional and
that the 11 states of the Confederacy
wre not legally out of the Union. 1
it had not been this belief at the be
ginning of the war, the North would
have taken Horace Greeley's advice to
'let the wayward sisters depart in
peace."
The Baltimore convention held to
Lincoln's ideas. Thaddeus Stevens wa
there fighting against every movemen
to indorse the Lincoln policy of rccon
struction, contending that the seceded
states were actually and legally out of
the Union, and that when retaken they
should be treated as conquered ter
ritory. Stevens was defeated at every
turn in the Baltimore convention. But
his opposition to Lincoln's policy and
his hatred of Andrew Johnson was not
ended.
A Democratic Blunder
Nearly three months after he was
renominated, Lincoln and his advisers
reached the conclusion that McClellan.
already agreed upon as the Democratic
nominee, would win the election. On
August 23 he wrote and signed a paper,
which he scaled and delivered to the
secretary of the navy, Gideon Welles,
with instructions not to open it until
after the election. This paper read:
"This morning, as for some days past,
it seems exceedingly probable that this
administration will not be reelected.
Then it will be my duty to co-operate
with the president-elect so as to save
the Union between the election and in
auguration, as he will have secured his
election on such grounds that be can
not possibly save it afterward.
Six days later, on August 29 the
Democratic national convention met
in Chicago. It nominated General Mc
Clellan for president and George II.
Pendleton of Ohio for vice president.
Then it made the fatal mistake of
adopting a platform that declared the
war to be h failure. Almost at the
same time came the news that Atlanta
had fallen and of Union victories in
Virginia. General McClellan hastened
to repudiate that portion of the plat
form, but it was in vain. The Con
federacy was crumbling to its fall and
the people turned to Lincoln.
Still the campaign waxed hot. The
October elections in Pennsylvania
showed great Democratic gains and
the administration was alarmed. Lin
coln pot Generals Meade and Sheridan
each to furloueh D.000 Pennsylvania
soldiers to go home to vote. He car
ried the state on the home vote by only
a few over ",00n and including the
soldier vote in the field by only 2n.00'i.
New York he carried by only 6.000.
Tammany Hall supported McClellan
and gave him 3t;,00'i majority in New
York City.
Creelev ia the New York Trihun,-
1 heartily supported Lincoln
and de
nounced McClellan as a traitor. But
at the same time he said that no one
would pretend to think Mr. Lincoln a
great man. The New York Herald
thought the choice between "Old Abe"
and "Little Mac" was a chojee between
evils, not betweei excellencies. For a
time during the heat of the campaign
it appeared that Lincoln had no friends
among the leaders and the newspapers.
Carping critics dissected his every act.
But the great mass of people were for
him. When the election was over he
had carried 21 of the 25 states which
voted, receiving 212 electoral votes to
McClel'.an's 21. McClellan carried onlv
New Jersey, Kertucky and Delaware."

To the Editor:
My attention has been called to your
"""'"" me Sunday morning's Re-
uuiicun. on nasre four cf that i..i,o
herein said editorial savs nmontrst
other things, "The situation has he-
come such in the campaign that the
Democratic politicians have found it
ecessary to hire a special nleader for
he Democrats, ind Mr. Bullard has ac
cepted that office. He is acting not as
loyai uemocrat. not as a disinterest
ed, public spirited citizen, but as a
lawyer. iur. .Bullard's well-Daid for
services are always properly available
to inose wno nave the price. He Is
known as a most expert defender of
corporations and of persons charged
with serious crimes. It his his business
to forestall adverse verdicts."
Vv hilo thank: ng you for the imnlied
compliment to my legal ability. I ens-
mctly resent tie statement therein that
the Democratic politicians have found
t necessary to hire a special pleader
tor the party Mr. Bullard has ac
cepted that ofllce." Also the statement
He is acting not as a loyal Democrat,
not as a disinterested public spirited
ltizen, but as a lawyer." Those state
ments made- in your editorial are false
n every respect. I have not been paid
directly or indirectly, a single cent n
any person to make the speech that 1
made last night, or any speech that 1
intend to make throughout the state
on the land department issue. To the
contrary, I have refused to permit
either the Democratic Central commit
tee or any other person, either direct
ly or indirecjy, to pay my expenses.
but intend to pay them out of my own
pocket.
It is true that I have represented
corporations, and that I have repre
sented persons charged with serious
crimes; and that I have also repre
sented Thomas E. Campbell, but none
of these parties influenced me one iota
in an statement that I make from tne
stump during a political campaign.
They all paid me for my services and
I gave them such value received as I
could at th; time: but that did not
give them ar.y further call on my serv
ices during liny political campaign
cannot understand your accusation that
I am not acting as a loyal Democrat
I thought my record on that was pretty
clear. The only criticism that could
be directed against my loyalty to the
Democratic party is that I put Tom
Campbell Umporarily in office four
years ago,
In view o:r the fact that I have given
you my peisonal assurance that I am
not being paid for the speeches that I
am. making during this compaign. bu
that I am making them because I re
sent Mr. Campbell's unfounded attack
on the Democratic party and on Infli
viduals in the Democratic party, I trust
you will immediately retract the state
ments that I have objected to in you
editorial.
I have always had a high regard for
your sense of fairness, and therefore
deem that all that will be necessary
is to call your attention to the fact
that you are mistaken. Despite the
fact that I am a lawyer, there are cer
tain clashes of lawsuits that I am not
anxious to handle in my office, amon
others, libel suits; but unless you re
tract the statements made about mo
to which I object, I shall, of course. De
under th necessity of calling upon
you to mike proof of the same In
court of law. That is to say, I shall
require you to make proof that I am
being paid for the speeches that I am
making during this campaign, or that
I am receiving any compensation there

Here Is A Tale Worthy of
Your Reading and Heed
ing. My tin dress came home from the
Cleaner's Saturday afternoon. That
sounds lis though I were in the habit
of going about garbed in a, Joan of Arc
costume, doesn't it? And the best way
to clean a garment of that sort would
be to apply a liberal coat of sapolio,
one would think. But that isn't what
I mean.
Did yau know that georgette crepe is
nothing more or less than a prepara
tion of oxide of tin or iron and that 60
per cent of all silk materials are tin.
Mrs. Fsris thinks that I am wrong, but
I was told that by an authority on
silks.
And so vour fluffiest, frlllest geor
gette things are tin! It took me quite
some time to get used to the Idea.
Well, anyway, mv tin dress, also a
blue serge suit, have come home. Once
again I was at a loss to know Just
where to send them, but Mrs. Faris
came to my rescue by recommending
the Psris Cleaners, over at 121 West
Monroe street. She likes the work
turned out by this place so much.
By -he way. the establishment has
just r?cently changed hands and will
now be known as the Fullerson & Co.
Cleaners.
When I went in to pay for myilngs
this rrorning I met Mr. Fullerson. who
told no that he has Just come to Phoe
nix fiom Miami, where he was also
in the cleaning business.
Miami is not so large, but it must be
an awfully dirty place, because Mr.
Fullerson told me that when he went
there, four years ago, there were 12
cleaning establishments. And that
when he left there to come here, there
were still an even dozen, but that his
place was doing the bulk of the busi
ness. My things looked so much better
than I had any hopes of them looking
(for thev really were in a distressing
sjate) that I risked Mr. Fullerson just
what process he used. Put he refused
to tf.lk for publication find spoiled a
perfectly good story by saying that his
process is a secret one. So I bad to be
content with only the beautiful work
turned out by the Fullerson cleaning
establishment.
While I was there Mrs. Faris enme
in to see about having her heavy rugs
denned. She is very particular about
thoss rugs, which are some that she
B "I find the inner workings of a modern cleaning establishment very
instructive and entertaining.' Jean White.
H
i',s ' '
- ' t
.r'-w-z'..
purchased while abroad. And the
cleaner that gets them has to watch
his step. Mr. Fullerson told her that
his process would absolutely clean,
deodorize and sterilize the heaviest,
most soiled rug that could come into
the establishment.
"There is absolutely no better
process for cleaning- rugs than the
well-known French dry - cleaning
method, which is included in the Ful
lerson process," lie told Mrs. Faris.
You know, I thought that the whole
plant was on West Monroe street, but
it isn't. The cleaning plant is a new
$5500 brick structure that has just
been erected at 1 SUfi East Van Buren.
and it is an awfully attractive nnd
up-to-date place. Mrs. Faris and I
ran out there Saturday afternoon to
see how her rugs were coming and wo
found it simply overrun with business.
It doesn't seem as though there could
be so many soiled suits and dresses
in the state. But there they .-ire.
Mrs. Faris told mc, on the way home,
that she sent her most frail and deli,
cate silky tilings to this establishment.
because they were so skillfully handled
that not a thread was pulled or broken
and yet they came home just as fresh
and dainty as w hen they were new
from the shops. j
And another thing that she likes
about this place is that she can abso
lutely rely on having her things sent
home just when they arc promised.
You know how horribly annoying it is
to plan on having a particular garment
home from tho cleaner at a certain
time and then be disappointed. This
will never .happen if one patronizes
this place.,' says Mrs. Faris.
And in addition to the already splen
did e juipment. new apparatus to the
extent of $3000 is to be installed in tho
Van l'.uren street plant very soon,
which will greenly enlarge the capacity
of the place. You can tell from the
picture that the equipment now in
place is splendid, ami so just imagine
what a lot more will do for it.
Tho young lady at the machine is
sewing op a t,om place in a skirt. Skill
ful mending is also part of the cleaning
program. , 4
