“LODGE S HYMN OF HATE'
Under this caption the New York World most ably comment:
upon and dissects the keynote speech of Senator Lodge before the
Republican National convention in Chicago on I uesday, the opening
day. "Hymn of Hate" expresses it fully and correctly, and we see the
convention, following the lead of the Wilson haters, making peace
among themselves by adopting a platform plank breathing hatred
but straddling the League of Nations as an issue.
If there has been anything of sincerity, anything of statesman
ship~anything of love of humanity, anything of recollection of the
agony of the mothers of our country as their boys lay wounded and
dying in France—if there had been anything but hate for our greal
President, a man greater than the combination of all his haters, the
Republican party would not have adopted the course it has pursued.
But it has chosen its course; it has sung its song of hate, and launched
out on the turbulent tide, hoping to be swept to victory on a sea ol
hatred.
Well, we shall see. There are hundreds of thousands of good cit
izens who have followed the Republican party always who believe
in a League of Nations as devoutly as they believe in their God. 1 hey
put the issue above party, above politics, and, if we mistake not, they
are going to refuse to follow the path of hatred this coming Novem
ber. They are going to realize early that the Republican peace plank
is as elusive as the pea hidden somewhere under one of the three
shells—that it promises nothing, pledges nothing, and is capable ol
any construction desirable to place upon it.
But we started out to reproduce what the New York World had
to say of Mr. Lodge and his keynote. It is too good to keep. It follows
“There the story ends’" exclaimed Senator Lodge in his speech a:
temporary chairman of the Republican National convention. “We have stop
ped Mr. Wilson’s treaty and the question goes to the people.”
That is how all of Senator Lodges stories end. That is how the Republi
can record in respect to the peace of the world endi —in obstruction ant
destruction.
“We make the issue," continued the majority leader of the Senate
“We ask approbation for what we have done. The people will now tell ui
what they think of Mr. Wilson’s League and its sacrifice of America.”
If the Republican National Convention will make Senator Lodge’s chai
lenge official, there can be no hesitation on the part of the Democratii
National convention in accepting it.
Mr. Lodge owes his leadership to the purchase of a United States Sen
atorship in Michigan by Truman H. Newberry, a crime for which Newberr?
has been convicted in a Federal court and has been sentenced to a long tern
of imprisonment. Without the Newberry vote the Republicans could not hav
organized the Senate. He was their majority. Henry Cabot Lodge would no
have become the leader. Without Newberry’s support he could not hav
been elected. The senate committee on Foreign Relations could not have beei
packed with senators who had declared their hostility to the treaty before i
was framed. The Lodge reservations could never have been adopted in com
mittee or adopted on the floor of the Senat.e The whole record which Sen
ator Lodge exalts in his Hymn of Hate against President Wilson rests upo
the corrupt and rotten structure of a Senatorship bought in the open mat
ket of Michigan.
To Senator Lodge and to his Republican associates the treaty of peac
is merely “Mr. Wilson’s treaty.” The fact that it is France’s treaty, that it i
Great Britain’s treaty, that it is Italy’s treaty, that it is
the treaty of all the other belligerents and that it is also Germany
treaty, is a historical detail that does not interest them. They are fightin
the treay of peace because his signaure is attached to it as one of the n<
gotiators. They are not concerned with its merits or demeris. All its mo:
objectionable clauses they accept without question. They attack it only fc
what is good in it, not for what is bad, and heir course is charted solely b
the fact that the most enlightened and progressive features of the treat
were suggested by President Wilson. If the treaty had been negotiated fc
a Republican president they would defend it as ardently as they now assail i
The Republican party is going into this campaign as the party of treat
"vrecking and the party of a war with Mexico. No evasions of the platforr
io attempt, however, adroit, to make language conceal thought, can chanj
he record.
There is not a constructive thought or suggestion in Senator Lodge
peech, and there will not be a constructive thought or policy evolved I
.he Chicago convention. The Republican party is held together today on
by the passionate hatred of its leaders for Woodrow W ilson. That hatrt
has poisoned the blood in all the veins and arteries of government, yet i
virus is the only living and vital force in the Republican organization, whit
is asking a return to power on the ground that its congress has tainted wi!
partisanship everything that it has touched and has polluted every ideal fi
which the American people sacrificed their blood and treasure in a war

In political circles the one-step has been discarded in favor of tl

THE GREAT GUIDE
BY JAMES I. VANCE
Founder of Inter-Church World Movement and Chairman
Federal Council of Churches of America.
It is an arresting title the Bible
gives God when it call Him a guide.
The God of heav
en and the King of
Glory comes down
and offers to be a
man’s guide. He
must want us to
go straight. It I
must hurt Him to
see us go wrong
It must trouble
God to have us
lose the way. He
seems to pause in
His task of uni
verse building and
world control, and
turn aside to
where a pilgrim
on life’s long road
has lost the way.
? JI
and say: “Let me guide you.”
Where is the man or woman who
does not need guidance? Who of us
knows this strange road which none
of us as yet has traveled, but along
which, soon or late, we all must jour
ney, and which stretches away into
the dim distance to where the sky
|line fades and the torch casts but a
j shadow? f
| Experience comes to chasten and
admonish us. We think of the mis-i
takes that might have been avoided,
; if only there had been a guide.

and Peeved Wives.
A maid who has to work eight
hours a day came that morning.
She was. in fact, a maid I had em-i
ployed before I went to Mexico, and
she returned' to work according to
the 1920 plan. It had been a ques
tion with me whether I preferred to
have her arrive early enough to get I
the breakfasts, or at a later hour)
and remain to prepare the dinners, i
I found that I did not have to settle j
such problems. We settled all points!
as the maid preferred.
Having been with me previously, I
Matilda knew the routine of the j
house. It wasn’t necessary for me
to leave my suite that morning un-!
til she summoned me to breakfast.
Bob had not entered my room. I
maintained a dignified silence. I
had concluded that explanations
were due more than one way. But
I wouldn’t ask him where he had
been the previous night nor why he
had not phoned.
I sent Matilda to summon Bob to
breakfast, I let him go down stairs
and let him stand by his chair sev
eral minutes before I entered the
breakfast alcove.
1 had given up hoping that he
would welcome me with arms out
stretched. If the tiniest feeling of
tenderness for me survived in his
heart he would guess the hurt in.
mine, would appreciate the torture
I was enduring. And he would have
come to me upstairs.
I had put on a white taffeta
breakfast coat, one of those quaint
beruffled things that are the latest
mode. I was as white as the silk it
self. Usually Bob would have been
frightened to see me so pallid, so
“spirituelle,” and usually he would
have discovered my state before I
left my room, he would have insisted
that my coffee be brought up to me,
and he would have stayed to wait
upon me, and to share my meal, he
would have sworn that he couldn’t
eat a mouthful in the dining-room
—alone.
That was as things should be be
tween us. But—that morning—Bob
made no comment on my appearance.
I wished him a cheerful “good
morning” as if nothing had happen-

ed. He was surprised. He expected
an exhibition of nerves —anything
but peace and silence about yes
terday.
It occurred to me that I had dis
covered a first 'class policy for griev
ed and peeved wives.
Waives fail in domestic diplomacy ,
by giving awav their hands, by talk
ing too much. I suppose they simply
can’t help talking themselves hoarse
when the husband is the one from
whom a confession is due. By play
ing the sphinx they would confuse
the man and come nearer to a rec
onciliation.
I smiled quite gayly, although my
poor heart was going at a horrid]
rate, as if I were embarrassed. And I
I asked the questions about the new I
car. Neither of us referred to the test I
in the park, nor to Bob’s absence the !
evening before. It seemed to me!
that Bob was proceeding as if we'
had some kind -of tacit agreement i
he would not question me if I would
not ask vyhere he had been!
I envied the women who can get
up a fit of hysterics when given half!
a chance. They at least achieve the I
outward oppearance of a reconcilia-!
tion after a quarrel. But I was to!
have no such comfort that day. Fi-!
nally I asked Bob to go on with his
paper, I took one up myself, and wei
spoke only when the maid was in
the room.
I held the paper high to hide my
trembling lips. I was thinking that!
my home life is composed of smalll
things, but they are like jewels in!
a valuable mosaic. The events of I
.he day are trifles, dull bits of the
i background of life, but if a single bit
’ is destroyed, the beauty of the whole
pattern is damaged.
“So let it be!” I said to myself as
Bob went off in his new car. I had j
promised myself the pleasure of driv
ing him to his office every morning
as soon as I had a maid to do the
housework. Bob had rejoiced in the
; plan, but—on the morning of th#
i first opportunity, he ignored it abso
lutely.
“I wish I had a good chance to
flirt where Bob could see me today.”
I moaned. But—that was like Ann!
I knew I couldn’t do it. I had a
: standard for myself—even if my hus
band had not.

(By the kindness of Msyklouzys
Krbjlp, a prominent merchant of
Mars, spending his summer vacation
on Earth, this letter from Mr. Krbjlp
to his wife is reprinted in part.)
I am delighted that little Logoslyk
passed his grades at Canal school this
term. Tell him ‘hat papa will bring
him something nice from Earth this
fall. Really, Goofus Dear, lam glad
we do not live on Earth and that our
children do not have to attend what
Earthmen call schools.
You will be surprise to hear that
education is considered of minor im
portance here.
Plumbers and those who carry
away refuse from homes here are
considered of greater importance
than those who train and instruct
the young. The janitor, or man who
keeps the schoolhouse clean, is paid
much more money than the teach
ers of child-trainers.
The most unskilled laborer receives
more than a skilled teacher is paid
and Earthmen think nothing of it.
