“BASEBALL is one sport that cannot be fixed.”
ANYWAY, nobody can fix it and get away with it.
POOR OLD CINCINNATI! Took her half a century to win a world
series and then it was crooked. ,
HOWEVER, Senator Harding is not the only one who has trouble with
explanations. The G. O. P. chiefs are now explaining the reason the league
covenant was left out of their campaign book was “lack of space.”
Contrasted!
Ih one of his recent short speeches Thomas Taggart, Democratic
nominee for Senator, said: , -
I have stated Heretofore my opinion that State and local government
is purely a matter of business, and that they should be conducted on busi
ness principles. In my opinion the same business principles apply to Na
tional Government that apply to local government. The greatest ques
tions in this country today grew out of the late war. We have got to pro
vide for paying the money cost, to begin with. And, then we have got to
provide for making what little compensation -we can to the crippled and
wounded soldiers, and to the widows and orphans, and for just recognition
to the living men who did the fighting. But, when all that is cone there
remains the awful cost of blood and hardship, and suffering for which no
compensation can ever be made; and what are we going to do about that?
The only way we can make any payment for that terrible waste is
by preventing a. repetition of it for future generations. The chief benefit
we got out of this war was experience; and that is not a benefit unless we
profit by it. - We ought to make it a resource and I think the people of the
United States want to profit by their experience by making war in the future
as nearly impossible as they can. <
And I say that is good business. We are just learning in this country
that it is'cheaper and easier to prevent fires than ii is to put them out;
and wars are very much like fires. They spread in the same way. You
remember that th§ great Chicago fire was caused by the Widow O’Leary's
cow kicking over a kerosene, lamp. That is what stirted it, and the con
ditions were favorable for the big fire that followed. The late war was
started by somebody down in Servia killing fife Austrian Crpwn Prince.
The conditions were favorable for trouble, and the world was set on fire.
The Chicago fire taught people to keep kerosene lamps away from cows;
and it has had some effect in keeping cow's out in thi country, where they
can kick without doing much damage. We have a similar problem In the
prevention of war* for I think everybody is agreed on the desirability of
prevention, and the .only question is as to the mode of prevention. And
that is not, or ought not to be, a very serious question, because nobody can
imagine any mode of -prevention that would not cost Infinitely less in
money, and life, and blood, and suffering than cost.
New contrast that sentiment with the plea of James E. Watson the*
we make a separate peace with Germany by resolution although “Germany
never declared war on us and we are not now officially at war with Ger
many” and if you can find it in your heart tq vote for Mr. Watson first
go out and kill the family cat.
“Seek Ye First the Kingdom —”
When nearly two hundred,, million people of Russia are dn'ting into
bankruptcy and are despoiling all the accumulated wealth of the nation;
when in America explosives are planted so scores are injured and killed;
when communism and some schools of socialism foster class hatred and
destruction to accomplish their ends it is time, a most serious thought
were given the whole situation.
No warning words may cause them to delay nor to think aright, but
each individual can do something, within himself, to assist in solving the
great problem now confronting the nations of the wopld. No one soldier
can save the army; each can perform his bit and if he does that part,
the sucobss of the whole assured. Equally so with eaclT'member of
Tire community.
Fundamentally, why all this hatred and all this misery?
Malice between neighbors is unnatural; men prefer to abide in peace
and to work out problems in order and good "Judgment. The thirty odd
murdered in New York by a single blast of a hidden Infernal machine are
mutp evidence of malice, or hatred in t£e extreme.
Because of what? f
What departure from right, what desperate error of judgment has
crept in? •
It is envy—envy of the good fortune of a neighbor, envy of the riches
one may accumulate and ft covetous desire to appropriate what belong*,
to another.
This is a dreadful error of reason, a breaking of one of the ten
commandments and something that jnust be righted before peace comes
to bless the toil of the day. All this arises too, from the belief that
true happiness is to be found in something outside of one’s self.
How unhappy are the rich, if the trpth were but known! How
miserable are those who worship and acquire money only to find wealth
a relentless taskmaster, terrible beyond the dreams of a Dante’s inferno.
How poor indeed is a person who does not realize that self respect and a
sunny disposition, unselfish love for others and the pursuit of truth are
heritages of every individual, be he surrounded by a palace or living in a
hovel, afed each carries Its sure reward.
The world can neither give nor take away truth, Yet in their passions
men sacrifice life and wealth in the pursuit of that which does not even
contain nor depend upon the eternal, and which fades into nothingness.
Where today are Napoleon’s splendors or Kaiser William’s pomp of
German power?
Joy in the tender love of family, consciousness of having done, right,
firmness in observance of the golden rule make wealthier than all
the gifts of a debauched nation. Right thinking in all of its infinite
range, from little"facts of every-day life to spiritual facts beyond utterance,
with the long line of human manifestations between, brings true happiness
and is the abiding possession of every person who will accept it.
Is there reason, then, for envy, murder,-violence?
These ari3e from the wrong view-point, taking the lesser thiags of
life and making them large, reversing that w-hlch is important for the
unworthy and thus pile confusion on confusion.
It is essential to our life as a nattop that we live for the verities of
not for dollars. We in and practice the golden rule,
beginning with our own acts and never with the regulation of the other
man nor the destruction nor confiscation of his property.
Is it possible, in all these turbulent times, that we are seeking to beat
or undo that truth whirti was given us almost two thousand years rgo!
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all
these things shall be added unto you?” , %
If It is thought to substitute something for that teaching, the folly
is desperate, the effort useless.
'
Two Classes of People
It makes me very, very tired to hear some public speaker talk about
the middle class, the common people, the rjch or thpjmor, the godly and
the criminal. Dislike, however, as much as you may to use the term
“class,” there are only two classes of people in this country, or two
elements. _ ' „ . ♦
There is no such thing as the upper, the middle, or the lower class in
this country. Society in the United States is made up of only two ele
ments —those -who produce and those who do not. Those who belong to
the worthless or non-productive class- are the idle rich And the criminal.
The other class Is made up of 95 per cent of the people of the United
States who thing, and are known as the productive class, whether
they work with their hands or their head; whether they work M an
undershirt or in a white shirt. If you look over the community fin which
you live, you can not pick out more than one out of twenty men or women
of the productive age who lives an absolutely jdle life unless they are too
old or too young, or unfortunate through sickness or accident. It is this
great 95 per cent of the people of this country who DO something that is
bound to save us eternally from the other countries have
with a population where there is a larger percentage of idle cr non-pro
ductive citizens.
We need never worry about our country so long as we can require
everybody to work or be thrown into the discard. Ancient history tells
us of the custom of some thrifty country where the idle were put to
death because they were only a burden on those who worked. Nothing
in the world equals the nobility of labor.— ip, D. Boyce, in the Saturday
Blade, Chicago. I i

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS
VIII. The Pierce-Scott Race of 1852
WASHINGTOS, D. C.—The campaign
of 1854 marked the end es the Whig
party as a factor in national affairs. For
the third time that organisation placed
expediency before principle to nominate
a war hero for President. Winfield Scott
,wa@ the hero of the War of lSET'and ot
the r with Mexico. He had been de
feated in the convention by a narrow
margin by WUliam.HepXy Harrison when
,it was necessary tp chhpse n hero candi
date to oppose V*n Bursa in 1840. That
was Tippecanoe against Lundy’s Lana,
and Tippecanoe won. As will be remem
bered, Scott was defeated in 1840 by a
letter written to secure abolition support
in New York.-. Writing letters wai the
I one great business of General Stott’s
j life. He wrote letters to everybody,
| about everything, and at all times. His
i letter ruined him and pnrty, and
when the votes were counted it was
found that he had been overwhelmingly
defeated by the Democratic "dark horse,"
j Franklin "Pierce. Scott carried only four
i States in the Union, receiving but forty
i two electoral votVs to Pierce's 254.
When President Taylor died ho was
! succeeded In the White House by Millard
: Fillmore# As has been the case In every
instance In which a vice president hr*
"become chief mngUtrate_ (with a single
exception) the policy of the Administra
tion was reversed. Taylor had permitted
his policy to be dictated by the con
aervatlve Whigs. Fillmore was a Liberal.
As u result of the right-about-face atti
tude taken by Daniel Webster, who went
over to' the non interference-with-Slavery
side in his speech of March 7, and of
tb?' succession of Fillmore, ali parties
were enabled to get together once more
on a compromise basis.
HENRY CLAY AGAIN -
MARTS PEACE ./
It was Henry t'lay. the Great Pacifi
cator, whose compromises had kept
out of the White House, who was one*
nyore called to the *front in htw old age
to bring abont peae*. The Compromls*
of 1850 was It included sev
eral measures. The most important was
'the admission of California as a free
State, as that broke the balance of powet
between free and slave • States in tlig.
United v States Senate. It was the one
concession to the North, hnt it\wH9 ot
far greater importance than the South
'realized. To tha other side the eopeea
sions were a stringent fugitive slave law,
the maintenance of slavery In the ‘Dis
trict of Columbia, the payment to Texas
of $10,000,000 for yielding Us claims to
New Mexico, and the organization ol
Utah and New Mexico as territories with
out restrictions aS to slavery. Bv this
compromise, Henry Clay .united the war
ring elements of the Democratic
and destroyed for all time the par’y
which he organized.,and had captained
for so many years. ' "*'•* j
President Fillmore candidate for
the nomination. General Scott and Mr.
Webster were the other aspirants. Mr.
Fillmore had urged the compromise
through Congres* and had approved It.
He wished the whole country to accept
It as the anal- disposition of the whole
question. The country, for the
most, part, wished to accept It atT such,
ffhe Democratic convention approved.
The Whigs had to do so. To swallow
the F.llmore-Clay compromise the North
ern Whigs were forced, but they would
not swallow Fillmore. 80 they took
Scott, whose sympathies were believed
to be with the anti-slavery wing of the
party.
General Scott was nominated on the
fifty-third ballot in tbe convention, after
heated sessions in which a delegate
would now and then arise to spring
a letter from Scott. When the nomina
tion was made Senator Jones of Ten
nessee, the ‘‘Lean Jimmy" .Tones who
had twice defeated James K. Polk for
Governor, leaped to the platform with a
t letter from General Scott, it was a let
ter of acceptance couched in less than
a hundred words, hut pledging loyal
and exclualve support to the platform.
That all too sudden letter helped to do
his business In November.

letters attacking the Catholics and op
posing the foreign element In politics.
These old letters the Democrats used
against him s with great effect. Horace
Greeley shouted himself black in the
face In his attempts to defend Scott from
Scott's letters, but it was of no avail.
General Scott himself took the stump
In an effort to win over the'voters of
foreign blood. He was a great Batterer,
and his references to the "rich jrlsb'
brogue" and the “sweet Gei-man accent"
of some of bis hearers were nothing less
than ludicrous. The Whigs soon real
ized that Scott would bfe defeated, but
the candidate hoped on When it
all 'over he gave 'out an Interview in
which he declared that he owed his de
feat to the New York Herald, the Web
ster defection and the lukewarmness of
the Fillmore administration.
Daniel Webster consented to become
the head of a bolting Union ticket, hnt
he died a few days before the election
and his little party died with him. A
few days before his death Webster sept
for his bosom friend, Peter H ifvey, and
asked; "Is Rufus Choate going to vote
for Scott V” "I don’t k*ow.” was Har
vey*_jeply, “hut I think not." Then
Webster said: ’'Tell him not to ruin his
future by voting for Scott, and teil him,
as my dying message to him, that after
the second day of November next the
Whig party as a national party will ex
ist only in history.” The publication of
this Interview in the Democratic papers
a few days before the ejection did dot
aid the Whig’s dying caftse, although
Choate announced his fealty'to Scoff.
Webster's prediction was correct. In
1832 the Whig party died aud in the
same year Henry Clay aYid Daniel Web
ster, its greatest leaders and its wort*
enemies, were gathered to their father*.
In the-election the Whig ticket carried

'AN INTERPRETATION
In article fi of tbe covenant, the
League of Nations gets down to the real
business for which lt\was created: the
maintenance of peace. To this It npplle*'
first of all the practical weapon of die
armament. Had article 8 along been in
force In 1914, four years of war would
tjot have been possible. Its existence and
observance now -which will instantly,fyl
low Amerlva’a entrance into the league
will remove among nations that ana
piclon of competition In weapons which
Is the Inspiration of war.
The members of the league recognise
that the maintenance of peace requires
the reduction of national armaments to
the lowest point consistent with the na
tional safety and the enforcement by com
mon action of .International obligations.
The council, taking account of the geo
graphical situation and circumstances of
each Btate. shall formulate plana for such
reduction for the consideration and action
of the several governments. Such plana
shall l>e subject to reconsldersilon and
revision at least, every ten years. '
After these plans shall have been
adopted by the several governments, lim
its of armaments therein fixed sjiall not
be exceeded without the concurrence of
the council.

MOMENTUM, MASS AND WEIGHT.
Q. Please define momentum, mass and
weight of a body, * TT. A. It. \
A. The Bureau of Standards Bays that
cratlc convention the Virginia delegation
plumped a -Solid vote Pierce
of New Hampshire, whose name had not
been mentioned in the convention, al
though the New York Herald had sug
gested him as''the possible “dark horse."
That started the ball, and Pierce war
nominated on the forty-ninth ballot.
-Pierce had a good record as a politician,
had served with lome distinction as a
Urlgadior General in the War with Mex
ico; and had the negative strength of
bolus a compromise nftan.
AVhen Pierce was nominated the Dem
orruta did not yet know how many mA
takes General Bcott would make or how
many letters he would write. They onlj
knew that the WhlgS were certain to
nominate him and that he was a war hero
It was in the frightened effort to get
hero to match a hero that Houston w-n
proposed, and that Pierce was selected.
Yet how few Americans remember today
that Franklin Pierce bad a war record
in Mexico?
The Pierce nomination was the first in
which the unlocking galleries in a na
tional convention took part. $1 ben
Pierce’s name was first voted for. a New
Hampshire delegate, wild with excite
ment, invited the people In tne galleries
to Join in the cheering. They accepted
the invitation, despite the precedent that
bad always obtained, forbidding the gal
leries to cheer or applaud. The result wo*
the first "demonstration." It
lasted for eight minutes. > Thus was
begun the unhappy custom which has
made a bedlam and a mob of every na
tional convention aince.
The campaign of 1852 was affected to
a considerable degree by tw* side show*
that were running—the prohibition move
ment and the woman suffrage propa
ganda. The suffragette* held a Meat na
tional convention which was attended by
women from all over the Northern States,
moat of them attired in "bloomers.’’ Eliz
abeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. An
thony were two prominent figur&. The
prohibjtion movement did not enter into
national politics, but it waa a great fac
tor tn State and congressional contests.
When it was all over the 'country
breathed easier. The Democrat*, had
been restored to power by an overwhelm
ing and nSn-sectional vote. People hoped
and believed that the compromise of 1850
would stand, and that the i gltatioti of
the slavery question would die out. They
Vcre deluded, but their hoiwst belief at
the time explains many things that seem
to be unreasonable in the light of later
events. ’
f „Tlie members of the league agree that
! the manufacture by private enterprise of
; munitions and implements of war Is open
;to grave objections. The co’uwll shall
advise how the evil effects attendant upon
i Aueh manufacture can be prevented, due
regard being had to the necessities of
those metqhers of the league which are
j not able to manufacture the munitions
and Implements of war necessary for
their safety. \
The members of the league undertake to
Interchange full and frank Information
as to the scale of their armaments, their
military and naval programs and the con
! dttton of such of their industries as are
iadaptible to warlike purposes,
j How much hlgheg than a kite do these

this Is a league for war? Article 8 alons,

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
A New Serial of Young Mar ried Life
By Ann Liaia ,
CHAPTER LXXVII (Continued).
Evvy suggested the Rochambeau, since
it was near enough for Jim to walk,
while she drove “dear Father Andrew”
over In her little, car.
“Fine I” agreed’Jim. “My sisters are
there ’ —
• /our sisters?* Run to the telephone,
Baruara Anne, and tell Jim’s family that
your old dad from the country’s here and
just spoiling to give a party to his new
ln-laws.”
Rather doubting, I did as Father An
drew requested, and much to my amaze
ment Virginia accepted with real cor
diality. That laugh we had shared the
day before had established a tiny invisi
ble bona betweeu us. Then, In accor
dance with Evvy’s plan we packed'Father
off in her car, and Jim, leaning on me
in a fashion that set by heart to throb
bing. made his way to the Rochambeau.
"Say, that father of yours is one good
old scout for fair; I like him—like him
fine,” declared Jim as we walked along
slowly. “But, honey-girl, please don’t
fuss over me so-before him, or he’ll think
you married a husband out of a bargain
basement rutpmage sale."
"I won’t, dear,” I promised happily.
"But now that we’re alone—fess up—
wasn’t the first day pretty hard on you?”
“Well, I hatqd the vnorning—and the
desk where I spent it, all right. But
Norreys is a wonder, and when he took
me along to one of the woolen mills 1
sort of came to. Wish he coqld use
me for buying, and get another chap for
this bloomingidesk job. I don’t like the
confinement.”
"But you do like the hundred a week,
don’t you,'dear?”
“Ob, it’ll do fSfr the present. But, of
course, it isn't big money, Anne. Mighty
few salaried jobs give a man real
money,” returned Jim carelessly.
"Well, I will—‘Come back’—ajl right
and before long I'll show my Princess
what money is. tf’ell, here we are, child
—and there’s that little blue car wait

So we joined Father Andrew and Evvy,
