THE OLD FAMJLY HEARTH OF
song and’ stor¥ ude hien r placed by
lhé furnice radiator in many an Ameri
can home—particularly in the North—
but long live the Great Americau
P‘rbllt Porch!
s ther family ‘'summer altar upon
which; of an evening, the folks lay
down all the days’ trouble and try
their best to be cheerful.
It must be that good angels hover
about porches. No doubt, there have,
been fa tly quarrels at hearths. But
who evg# eard of a family quarreling
on a porch?
But maybe, there are no quarrels on
porches bocausé porches are wide
open athe neighbors could hear
every woplll. And that is just why it
makes an® SEBY family altar. It
brooks no concealment. It is the
show-window of family life. A man
can't scold his wife on the front porch
and get away with it among his neigh
bors. Nor can a wife nag her husband
and hold ,lu};’?;’)utation as a woman of
sweet, disposition..
80, the front porch brings out the
gooft thyt's MW TOTRS, WHITE tHE ¢Fo8:
word, the frown and the angry scowl
are kept inside. ;
The' well k#fown functlon of the
front porch as a courting pla'ce re
quireé no extended remarks. But the
porch has never ‘been given the credi.
that is due it as a great American for
um upon which neighbors get together
in the cool of a summer’s evening and
exchange notes about the weather un
til one of them asks: “Well, wo do
you think will be our next president?"
and that starts a debate that doesn'*
end until 10:30 p. m., involving, as it
does, vast problems of politics, econ
omics and foreign relations.
So God bless the front porch—sanc
tuary of neighborliness and {riynd). |
ness; altar of all that is sweet in fam.
1y life; show-place for all our b M‘l
qualities!—Moultrie Observer. : ‘
AN IMPUDENT THREAT,
From v'ihe Savannah Press:-
Ex-President William H. Taft in
campaigning through the press for
the success of his party, has invented
an ingenious ir“nuyalmgetlwr ingen
uous, argumen% f 4
After citing the faet that the Demo
cratic platform opposes all destruc!
ive reservations to thdvovenant of !h
League of nations and that the Lodg:
reservation to Arti¢le'N has been re
peatedly classed as‘'a destructive,
rather thah an interpretative, reserva
tion, Mr. Taft says:
Mr. Cox has in ‘«'.ixs published
utterances of recent date insisted
that Mr. Wilson's stand on the
League must be approved. In the
light of the foregoing, it is incon
ceivable that Mr. Cox, elected as
President upon such a platform,
could consent to the Republican
reservation as to Article X. lln
the event of Democratic success
therefore, and with the certainty
\ of the presence in- thgegext sen
ate of Republican Sénaqi to pre
vent ratification of Artifte X, we
j should have another deadlock and
j a continuance of a state of war
' with Germany. 0
Whatever doubt thiere may be about
'the correctness of Mr. Taft's interpre
R
‘tation of the Republican platform
‘(and there is very grave doubts, in
deed), his reading of the Democratic
platform is evidently corvect, Indeed
that instrument is so drawn as to
leave no doubt whatever as to just
what it means. It needs no interpre
tation.
Governor Cox stands squarely on
that platform. Not only that, but his
own gbllc;htte'§“¢ééé irrespective of
any. platform whatever, make it per
féctly clear that he is opposed to res
ervations that will destroy the intent
and purpose of the Covenant, )
_lf Governor Cox is elected, it willl
prove beyond possibility of argument
that the American people desire, and
intend to complete, the “war against
war” that their soldiers have so nobly
and so successfully waged.
So Mr. Taft's declaration amounts
to this. “Even though the people of
the United States do desire to ente.
the League of Nations—even thougi
they so declare in terms not to he mis
understood—yet they shall not have
their way. They shall do, not as they
gny, but as the Senatorial clique thad
hag heretofore prevented peace mfl,v‘
choose to dictate to them.”
We understand that the United
Htated is a Republic; that the ultimate
power in this government resides in‘
the people. and that the voice of the
people unambiguously expressed
must and shall be obeyed. Since the
foundation of our government the peo
ple have found means to have found
means to have their will obeyed, and
it will be so in the future as in the
past.
There is the case of Mr. Taft him
self. When the Versailles Treaty was
first submitted to the Senate and to
the nation, it had no more ardent pro
tagonist that he was. Why has he
changed front? Simply because he
found himself out of sympathy with
his party and his partisanship was
strong enough to gverwhelm his states
manship.
Hold-over Senators in the next Con
gress will find themselves in a similar
(though not quite identical) position.
They will find themselves out of sym
pathy with the people whom they
serve and ‘they will tumble over oue
another to get back in line.
, ll..li.lflgwl‘- Junduatingas ke be «ou
fronted with a threat—and empty
hreat at that. The American people
e not quite used to it. We don’t ba
lieve that the people will like the idea
f being told that they must do the
will of Lodge & Company, as Mr.
Toft is doing it, at the risk of being
“ept indefinitely in their present
womalous and uncomfortable posi
tion. We don’t bolieve the American
aeople will submit to that kind of dic
tatarship.
THE CONFERENCE AT SPA.
“rom the Savannah Préss:
The conference at Spa has broken
Ip. Presumably the victory is witn
the Allies. The things the German
leclared impossible to be done, they
lave again promised to do.
In spite of their own protests—in
spite of their claim that they could
net maintain their own peace and se
urity with an army of less than 200,
Joomen, they have nevertheless prom
‘sod to reduce their armed force to
100,000, >
The Georman delegates at Spa pro
tested that it was a physical impos
sihility to deliver the coal demanded
of them by way of replacement of the
vaperty they wantonly destroyed in
Ne rthern France. Nevertheless, they
hove again promised to do so.
This new agreement was not ob
ta ned altogether by diplomacy as thau
w.rd is ordinarily understood. Mar
shl Foch had to be called in to effect
th settlement. Foch represents the
maoiled fist of physical force rather
thin the gloved hand of polite and
linlomatic argumentation. The Al
lies threatened to take possession of
the Ruhr basin and take out the coal
thomselves. They showed themselves
;'t-\:;d,\' to carry out the threat. '
S 0 the Germans have yielded. They
viclded to force—to potential force--
rather than to actual force. They did
not wait for the blow to be actually
struck. They did not wait for the
Ruhr valley to be actually cceupied,
but. following the policy that they
uniformly adopted during the war,
theyv cried “kamerad’” as soon as they
found that further resistance was in
advisable or unwise. :
But what have the Geormnas yield
ed at Spa? They have only renewei
under protest promises that were orig
nally given under protest and that
have subsequently been violated with
out apology. There is no reason to
believe that these later promises will
be held any more sacred than the firs:
ones. There is no basis for a rational
belief that Germany intends now to
d 6 the things that she promised to
do eighteen monthg ago. She has
simply renewed her note, already over
due and dishonored.
There is but one language that the
Teuton can understand. That is the
language of force. His ears are deaf
' to words that signify honor or integri
ty. Treaties are but ‘scraps of pa
per;” good faith is but the meekness
' of an imbecile.
Germany will fulfill the terms of
l the Treaty of Versailles when and if
she is absolutely forced to do so. The
new promises given at Spa are of no
greater scantity and of no more worth
! than the older ones. ; ‘
WORRIED.
From the Albany Herald:
The republicans are showing un
mistakable signs of being worried
over the situation with reference to
the League of Nations. And that
Senator Harding, the Republican nom’
inee for the Presidency, is chief
among the worried ones is apparent.
He is wincing, and when a politician
begins to wince he is almost sure to
commit an indiscretion, if not some
thing worse.
While the Senate was in session
and the republicans were denouncing
and repudiating the League of Nations
they put up a bold front and pretend
ed that they would gladly welcome
a campaign in which the peace pact
should be made the paramount issue.
This attitude on the part of republican'
leaders was maintained up to "and
through the republican national con
vention at Chicago. Senator Lodge,
the recognized leader of the opposi
tion to the League of Nations, was
made chairman of the Republican na
tional convention and delivered the
“keynote” speech, in which he de
nounced the peace pact as submittei
19 Jhe Sanpte by Brasidopt Wilson inl
the severest terms. And then the
Republican platform_virtually did the;
same thing. l
+ But now the republican leaders, in
cluding their presidential candidate,
are beginning to see that the League

“Ziron Did Us Both Good,’’ Writes Mr. Gentry,
of Norene, Tenn.
IT is a well-known medical fact, that
iron is a necessary constituent of the
blood, and that blood lacking iron is
the cause of many troubles that only iron
will cure.
Ziron, a scientific compound of iron
with other valuable ingredients, is the
remedy to take when your blood needs
more iron, and your system requires a
tonic. Ziron is mild and harmless, does
not stain the teeth. and is good for chil
dren as well as adults.

of Nations has more friends than it
has enemies; that the Democrats, who
indorsed the pact and demanded its
ratification without any such radical
amendments or interpretations as
would take the heart out of it, and
whose nominee for the Presidency
also stands with his party and the
Wilson Administration on the issue,
have t'lecldedly the better and stronger
position in the campaign.
And so Senator Harding has found
l it expedient to announce that he has
| discovered “absolute proof that Pres
| Ident Wilson has forced Governor
Cox to go hefore the country upon the
issue of the ratification of the League
of Nations without protection to Amer
ican interests.”
The outstanding feature of this
statement consists of a falsehood, and
the rest of it is simply absurd. Ame:
ican interests are not menaced and
this a great majority of the Ameri
can people understand. As for Pres
ident Wilson “forcing” Governor Cox
whén and how did he do it? |
As the Democratic nominee Gov
ernor Cox is bound by the platform,
which makes the League the leading
issue in the campaign, and he had ex
pressed his concurrence with the
President in the matter of the peace
treaty weeks before the convention
| met.
‘} The thuth is, the republicans ar:
worried over the position they fini
1 their party and their candidate in wita
reference to the peace treaty, includ
-1 ing the League of Nations, and Seni
) tor Harding is wincing and squirming
1I!e shouldn’t resort to a downright
false statement, however.
