2 ■li PROMISES IMMEDIATE PEACE IF HEJS ELECTED (Continued from Page One.) one. Such domination was never in tended. Tranquility, stability, de pendability—all are assured in party sponsorship, and we mean to renew the assurances which were rended in the cataclysmal war. It was not surprising that we went far afield from safe and prescribed paths amid the war anxieties. There was the unfortunate tendency before; there was the surrender of congress to the growing assumption of the executive before the world war im perilled all the practices we had learned, to believe in; and in the war emergency every safeguard was swept away. In the name of democ racy we established autocracy. We are not complaining at this extraordi nary bestowal or assumption in war, it seemed temporarily necessary; our alarm is over the failure to restore the constitutional methods when the war emergency ended. Our first committal is the restora tion of representative power govern ment, under the constitution, through the agency of the Republican party. ' Our vision includes more than a chief executive, we believe in a cabinet of highest capacity, equal to the respon sibilities which our system contem plates, in whose councils the vice president, second official of the re public, shall be asked to participate. The same vision includes a cordial understanding and co-ordinated ac tivities with a house of congress, fresh from the people, voicing the convictions which members bring from direct contact with the elec torate. and cordial co-operation along with the restored functions of the senate, fit to be the greatest delib erative body of the world. Its mem bers are the designated sentinels on the towers of constitutional gov ernment. The resumption of the sen ate’s authority saved to this repub lic its independent nationality, when autocracy misinterpreted the dream of a world experiment to be the vision of a world ideal. It is not difficult, Chairman Lodge, to make ourselves clear on the ques tion of international relationship. We Republicans of the senate, con scious of our solemn oaths and mind ful of our constitutional obligations, , when we saw the structure of a ■ .world super-government taking vis ionary form, joined in a becoming warning of our devotion to this re r public. If the torch of constitu tionalism had not been dimmed, the 'delayed peace of the world and the tragedv of disappointment and Eu rope's misunderstanding of America Easily might have been avoided.

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. mean to sustain the rights of this nation and our citizens alike, every where under the shining sun. Yet there is the concord of amity and sympathy and fraternity in every resolution. There is a genuine as piration in every American breast for a tranquil friendship with all the world. More, we believe the unspeakable sorrows, the immeasurable sacri fices, the awakened convictions and the aspiring of human kind must commit the nations or the earth to a new and better rela tionship. It need not be discussed now what motives plunged the world into war, it need not be inquired whether we asked the sons of this republic to defend our national rights, as I believe we did, or to purge the old world of the accumu lated ills of rivalry and greed, the sacrifices will be in vain if we cannot acclaim a new order, with added se curity to civilization and peace main tained. One may readily sense the con science of our America. I am sure I understand the purpose of the domi nant group of the senate. We were not seeking to defeat a world aspira tion, we were resolved to safeguard America. We were resolved then, even as we are today, and will be tomorrow, to preserve this free and independent republic. Let those now responsible, or seeking responsibili ty, propose the surrender, whether with interpretations, apologies or re luctant reservations—from which our rights are to be omitted—we welcome the referendum to the American peo ple on the preservation of America, and the Republican party pledges its defense of the preserved inheritance of national freedom. In the call of the conscience of America is peace, peace that Rioses the gaping wound of world war, and silences the impassioned voices of international envy and distrust. Heeding this call and knowing as I do the disposition of the congress, I promise you formal and effective peace so quickly as a Republican congress can pass its declaration for a Republican executive to sign. Then we may turn to our readjustment at home and proceted deliberately and •■eflectively to that hoped-for world relationship which shall satisfy botn conscience and aspirations and still hold us free from menacing involve ment. l can hear in the ca 1 of con science an insistent voice for the largely reduced armaments through out the world, with attending reduc tion of burdens upon peace-loving humanity. We wish to give of Amer ican influence and example; we must give of American leadership to that invaluable accomplishment. I can speak unreservedly of the American aspiration and the Repub lican committal for an association of nations, co-operating in sublime ac cord, to attain and preserve peace through justice rather than force, determined to add to ' security through international law, so clari fied that no misconstruction can be possible without affronting world honor. Must Stand. For Bight This republic can never be un mindful of its power, and must never forget the force of its example. Possessor of might that admits no fear, America must stand foremost for the right. If the mistaken voice of America, spoken in unheeding haste, led Europe, in the hour of deepest anxiety, into a military alli ance which menaces peace and threatens all freedom, irfctead of adding to their security, then we must speak the truth for America and express our hope for the fraternized conscience of nations. It will avail nothing to discuss, in detail the league covenant, which was conceived for world super-gov ernment, negotiated in misunder standing, and intolerantly urged and demanded by its administration sponsors, who resisted every effort co safeguard America, and who finally rejected when such safe guards were inserted. If the supreme blunder has left European relation ships inextricably interwoven in the league compact, our sympathy for Europe only magnifies our own good fortune in resisting involvement. It | is better to be the free and disin-1 terested agent of international jus- i tice and advancing civilization, with the covenant of conscience, than be shackled by a writ*xt» compact which surrenders our freedom of action and gives to a military allince the right to proclaim America’s duty to the world. Nq surrender of rights to a world council or its military alli ance, no assumed mandatory, how ever appealing, ever shall summon the sons of this republic to war. Their supreme sacrifice shall only be asked for America and its call of honor. There is a sanctity in that right we w’ill not delegate. When the compact was being writ ten, I do nut know -whether Europe asked or ambition insistently be stowed. It was so good to rejoice in the world’s confidence in our unsel fishness that I cn believe our evi dent disinterestedness inspired Eu enlisting American power and re sources. Ours is an outstanding, in fluential example to the world, whether we cloak it in spoken mod esty or magnify it in exaltation. We want to help; we mean to help; but we hold to our own interpretation of the American conscience as the very soul of our nationality. Disposed as we are, the way is very simple. Let the failure attend ing assumption, obstinacy, imprac ticability and delay be recognized, and let us find the big, practical, un selfish way to do our part, neither covetious because of ambition nor hesitant through fear, but ready to serve ourselves, humanity and God. With a senate advising as the con stitution contemplates, I would hope fully to approach the nations of Eu rope and of the earth, proposing that understanding which makes us a will ing participant in the consecration of nations to a new relationship, to commit the moral forces of the world, America included, to peace and international justice, still leav ing America free, independent and self-reliant, but offering friendship to all the world. Americans First If men call for more specific de tails, I remind them that moral com mittals are broad and all inclusive, and -we are contemplating peoples in the concord of humanity’s advance ment. From our own viewpoint the program is specifically American, and -we mean to be Americans first, to all the world. Appraising’ preserved nationality as the first essential to the continued progress of the republic, there is linked with it the supreme necessity of the restoration —let us say the re-revealment —of the constitution, and our reconstruction as an indus trial nation. Here is the transcend ing task. It concerns our common weal at home and will decide our future eminence in the world. More than these, this republic, under con stitutional liberties, has given to mankind the most fortunate condi tions for human activity and attain ment the world has ever noted, and we are today the world’s reserve force in the great contest for liberty through security, and maintained equality of opportunity and its righteous rewards. It is folly to close our eyes to oustandlng facts. Humanity is restive, much of the world is in revolution, the agents of discord and destruction have wrought their tragedy tn pathetic Russia, have lighted their torches among other peoples, and hope to see America as a part of the great Red conflagra tion. Ours is the temple of liberty under the law, and it is ours to call the Sons of Opportunity to its de fense. America must not only save herself, but ours must be the appeal ing voice to sober the world. More than all else the present-day world needs understanding. There can be no peace save through com posed differences, and the submission of the individual to the will and weal of the many. Any other plan means anarchy and its rule of force. It must be understood that toil alone makes for accomplishment and advancement, and righteous posses sion is the reward of toil, and its incentive. There is no progress ex cept in the stimulus of competition. When competition—natural, fair, im pelling competition—is suppressed, whether by law, compact or con spiracy, we halt the march of prog ress, silence the voice of aspiration and paralyze the will for achieve ment. These are but common-sense truths of human development. More Production The chief trouble today is that the world war wrought the destruc tion of healthful competition, left our storehouses empty, and there Is a minimum production when our need is maximum. Maximums, not minimums, is the call of America. It isn’t a new story, because war never fails to leave depleted storehouses and always impairs the efficiency of production. War also establishes its higher standards for wages, and they abide. I wish the higher wage to abide, on one explicit condition that the wage-earner will give full return for the wage received. It is the best assurance we can have for a reduced cost of living. Mark you, I am ready to acclaim the highest standard of pay, but I would be blind to the responsibilities that mark this fateful hour if I did not caution the wage-earners of America that mount ing wages and decreased production can lead only to industrial and eco nomic ruin. I want, somehow, to appeal to the sons and daughters of the republic, to every producer, to join hand and brain in production, more produc tion, honest production, patriotic production, because patriotic produc tion is no less a defense of our best civilization than that of armed force. Profiteering is a crime of commis sion, under-production is a crime of omission. We must work our most and best, else the destructive reac tion will come. We must - stabilize and strive for normalcy, else the in evitable reaction will bring its train of sufferings, disappointments and reversals. We want to forestall such reaction, we want to hold all ad vanced ground, and fortify it with general good-fortune. Let us return for a moment to the necessity for understanding, partic ularly that understanding which concerns ourselves at home. I de cline to recognize any conflict of in terest among the participants in in dustry. The destruction of one is the ruin of the other, the suspicion or rebellion of one unavoidably involves the other. In conflict is disaster, in understanding there is triumph. There is no Issue relating to the foundation on which industry is builded, because industry is bigger than any element in its modern making. But the insistent call is for labor, management and capital to reach understanding. The human element comes first, and I want the employers in indus try to understand the aspirqiions, the convictions, the yearnings <#f the millions of American wage-earners, and I want the wage-earners to un derstand the problems, the anxieties, the obligations of management and capital, and all of them must under stand their realtionship to the peo ple and their obligation to the re public. Out of this understanding will come the unanimous committal to economic e justice, and in economic justice lies that social justice which is the highest essential to human happiness. I am speaking as one who has counted the contents of the pay en velope from the viewpoint of the earner as well as the employer. No one pretents to deny the inequalities which are manifest in modern in dustrial life. They are less, in fact, than they were before the organiza tion and grouping on either side re vealed the inequalities, and con science has wrought more justice than stautes have compelled, but the ferment of the world rivets our thoughts on the necessity of progres sive solution, else our generation will suffer the experiment which means chaos for our day to re-establish God’s plan for the great tomorrow. Menace of Today Speaking our sympathies, uttering the conscience of all the people, mind ful of our right to dwell amid the good fortunes of rational, conscience impelled advancement, we hold the majesty of righteous government, with liberty under the law, to be our avoidance of chaos, and we call upon every citizen of the republic to hold fast to that which made us what we are, and we will have order ly government safeguard the onward march to all we ought to be. Hhe menacing tendency of the pres ent day is .not chargeable wholly to the unsettled and fevered conditions caused bv >he war. The manifest weakness in popular government lies in the temptation to appeal to group ed citizenship for political advan tage. There is no greater peril. The constitution contemplates no class and recognizes no group. It broadiy includes all the people, with specific recognition for none, and the highest consecration we can make today is a committal of the Republican party to that saving constitutionalism which contemplates all America as one people, and holds just government free from influence on the one hand and unmoved by intimidation on the other. It would be the blindness of folly to ignore the activities in our own country which are aimed to destroy our economic system, and to commit us to the colossal tragedy which has both destroyed all freedom and made Russia impotent. This movement is not to be halted in throttled liberties. We must not abridge the freedom of speech, the freedom of press, or the freedom of assembly, because there is no promise in repression. These liberties are as sacred as the freedorq of religious belief, as in violable as the rights of life and the pursuit of happiness. We do hold to the right to crush sedition, to stifle a menacing contempt for law, to stamp out a peril to the safety of the republic or its people, when emergency calls, because security and the majesty of the law are the first essentials of liberty. He who threatens destruction of the gov ernment by force of flaunts his con tempt for lawful authority, ceases to be a loyal citizen and forfeits his rights to the freedom of the re public. Let it be said to all of America that our plan of popular govern ment contemplates such orderly changes as the crystallized intelli gence of the majority of our people think best. There can be no modification of this underlying rule, but no majority shall abridge tne rights of a minority. Men have a right to question our system in fullest freedom, but they must al ways remember that the rights of freedom impose •' the obligations which maintain it. Our policy is not of repression, but we make ap peal today to American intelligence and patriotism, when the republic is menaced from within, just as we trusted American patriotism from without. Wage-Earners Welfare We call on all America for 'steadiness, so that we may proceed deliberately to the readjustment which concerns all the people. Our party platform fairly expresses the conscience of Republicans on indus trial relations. No party is indif ferent to the welfare of the wage earner. To us his good fortune is of deepest concern, and we seek to make that good fortune permanent. We do not oppose but approve col lective bargaining, because that is an outstanding right, but we are un alterably insistent that its exercise must not desaroy the equally sacred right of the individual, in his necessary pursuit of livelihood. Any American has the right to quit his employment, so has every American the right to seek em ployment. The group must not en danger the Individual, and we must discourage groups preying upon one another, and none shall be allowed to forget that government’s obliga tions are alike to all the people. I hope we may do more than merely discourage, the losses and suf ferings attending industrial conflict. The strike against the government is- properly denied, for government service Involves none of the elements of profit which relate to competitive enterprise. There Is progress m the establishment of official revealment of Issues and conditions which lead to conflict, so that unerring public sentiment may speed the adjustment, but I hope for that eoncord of pur pose, not forced but inspired by the common weal, which will give a reg ulated public service the fullest guaranty of continuity. I am think ing of the railroads. In modern life they are the very base of all our activities and interchanges. For public protection we have enacted laws providing for a regulation of the charge for service, a limitation on the capital invested and a limita tion on capital’s earnings. There remains only competition of service, on which to base our hopes for an efficiency and expansion which meet our modern requirements. The railway workmen ought to be the best paid and know the best working conditions in the world. Theirs is an exceptional responsibil ity. They are not only essential to the life and health and all productive activities of the people, but they are directly responsible for the safety of traveling millions. The govern ment which has assumed so much authority for the public good might well stamp railway employment with the sanctity of public service and guarantee to the railway employes that justice which voices the Amer ican conception of righteousness on the one hand, and assure continuity of service on the other. Transportation Problem The importance of the railway re habilitation is so obvious that ref rence seems uncalled for. We are so confident that much of the pres ent-day insufficiency and inefficiency of transportation are due to the with ering hand of government operation that we emphasize anew our opposi tion to government ownership, we want to expedite the reparation, and make sure the mistake is not re peated. It is little use to recite the story of development, exploitation, govern ment experiment and its neglect, gov ernment operation and its .failures, The inadequacy of trackage and ter minal facilities, the insufficiency of equipment and the inefficiency of op eration —all bear the blighting stamp of governmental incapacity during federal operation. The work of re habilitation under the restoration of private ownership deserves our best encouragement. Billions are needed in new equipment, not alone to meet the ’growing demand for service, but to restore the extraordinary deprecia tion due to the strained service of war. With restricted earnings and with speculative profits removed, railway activities have come to the realm of conservative and construc tive service, and the government which impaired must play its part in restoration. Manifestly the re turns must be so gauged that neces sary capital may be enlisted, and we must foster as well as restrain. We have no more pressing prob lem. A state of inadequate trans portation facilities, mainly charge able to the failure of governmental experiment, is losing millions to agriculture, it is hindering industry, it is menacing the American people with a fuel shortage little less than a peril. It emphasizes the present day problem and suggests that spirit of encouragement and assistance which commits all America to re lieve such an emergency. The one compensation amid attend ing anxieties is our new and needed realization of the vital part trans portation plays in the complexities of modern life. We are not to think of rails alone, but highways from farm to market, from railway to farm, arteries of life-blood to pres ent-day life, the quickened ways to communication and exchange, the answer of our people to the motor age. We believe in generous federal co-operation in construction, linked with assurances of maintenance that will put an end to criminal waste of public funds on the one hand and give a guaranty of upkept highways on the other. Water Transportation Water transportation is insep arably linked with adequacy of fa cilities, and we favor American emi nence on the seas, the practical de velopment of inland waterways, the upbuilding and co-ordination of all to make them equal to and ready for every call of developing and widening American commerce. I like that recommittal to thoughts of America’s first which pledges the Panama canal, an American creation, to the free use of American shipping. It will add to the American reawak ening. One can not speak of industry and commerce, and the transportation on which they are dependent without an earnest thought of the abnormal cost of living and the problems in its wake. It is easy to inveigh, but that avails nothing. And it is far too serious to dismiss with flaming but futile promise. Eight years ago, in times of peace, the Democratic party made it an is sue, and when clothed with power that party came near to its accom plishment by destroying’ the people’s capacity to buy. But that was a cure worse than the ailment. It is easy to understand the real causes, after which the patient must help to ef fect his own cure. Gross expansion of currency and credit have depreciated the dollar just as expansion and inflation have discredited the coins of the world. We inflated in haste, we must deflate in deliberation. We debased the dol lar in reckless finance; we must re store in honesty. Deflation on the one hand and restoration of the 100- cent dollar on the other ought to have begun on the day after the ar mistice, but plans were lacking or courage failed. The unpreparedness for peace was little less costly than unpreparedness for war. We can promi se no one remedy which will cure an ill of such wide proportions, but we do pledge that earnest and consistent attack which rlijj party platform covenants. We will attempt intelligent and coura oe oiis deflation, and strike at govern ment borrowing which enlarges the evil and we will attack high cost cf government wiih every energy and facility which attend Republican ca pacity. We promise that relief which will attend the halting of waste and extravagance, and the renewal of the practice of public economy, not alone because it will relieve tax burdens but because it will be an example to stimulate thrift and economy in pri vate life. Thrift and Economy I have already alluded to the ne cessity for the fullness of produc tion, and we need the fullness of service which attends the exchange of products. Let ds speak* the ir refutable truth, high wages and re duced cost of living are in utter con tradiction unless we have the height of efficiency for wages received. In all sincerity we promise the prevention of unreasonable profits, we challenge profiteering with all the moral force and the legal powers or government and people, but it is fair, aye, it is timely, to give re minder that law is not the sole cor rective of our economic ills. Let us call to all the people for thrift and economy, for denial and sacrifice if need be, for a nation-wide drive against extravagance and lux ury, to a recommittal to simplicity of living, to that prudent and nor mal plan of life which is the health of the republic. There hasn’t been a recovery from the waste and ab normaities of war since the story of mankind was first written, except through work and saving, through industry and denial, while needless spending and heedless extravagance have marked every decay in the history of nations. Given the assur ance of that rugged simplicity of American life which marked the first century of amazing development, and this generation may underwrite a second century of surpassing accom plishment. The Republican party was founded by farmers, with the sensitive con science born of their freedom and their simple lives. These founders sprang from the- farms of the then middle west. Our party has never failed in its realization that agri culture is essentially the foundation of our very existence, and it has ever been our policy, purpose and pei formance to protect and promote that essential industry. New conditions, which attend amazing growth and extraordinary industrial development, call for a new and forward-looking program. The American farmer had a hundred and twenty millions to feed in the home market, and heard the cry of the world for food and answered it, though he faced an appalling task amid handicaps never encountered before. Farmers interests In the rise of price levels there have come increased appraisals to his acres without adding to their values in fact, but which do add to his taxes and expenses without en hancing his returns. His helpers have yielded to the lure of shop and city, until, almost alone, he has met and borne the burden of the only in sistent attempts to force down prices. It challenges both the wisdom and the justice of artificial drives on price's to recall that they were ef fective almost solely against his products in the hands of the pro ducer and never effective against the same products in passing to the con sumer. Contemplating the defense lessness of the individual farmer to meet the organized buyers of his products and the distributors of the things the farmer buys, I hold that farmers should not only be permitted but encouraged to join in co-opera tive association to reap the just measure of reward merited by their arduous toil. Let us facilitate co operation to insure against the risks attending agriculture, which the ur ban world so little understands, and a like co-operation to market their products as directly as possible with the consumer, in the interests of all. Upon such association and co operation should be laid only such restrictions as will prevent arbitrary control of our food supply and the fixing of extortionate price upon it. Our platform is an earnest pledge of renewed concern for this most essential and elemental industry, and in both appreciation and interest we pledge effective expression in law and practice. We will hail that co operation which again will make profitable and desirable the owner ship and operation of comparatively small farms intensively cultivated, and which will facilitate the caring for the products of farm and orch ard without the lamentable waste un der present conditions. America would look with anxiety on the discouragement of farming •activity either through the govern ment’s neglect or its paralysis by Socialistic practices. A Republican administration will be committed to renewed regard for agriculture, and seek the participation of farmers in curing the ills justly complained of and aim to place the American farm where it ought to be—highly ranked in American activities and fully shar ing the highest good fortunes of American life. Favors Merchant Marine Becomingly associated with this subject are the policies of irrigation and reclamation, so essential to ag ricultural expansion, and the con tinued development of the great and vzonderful west. It is our purpose to continue and enlarge federal aid, not in sectional partiality, but for the good of all America. We hold to that harmony of relationship be tween conservation and development, which fittingly appraises our natural resources and makes them available to developing America of today, and still holds to the conserving thought for the America of the morrow. The federal government’s relation to reclamation and development is too important to-admit of ample dis cussion today. Alaska, alone, is rien in resources beyond all imagination, and needs only closer linking, through the lines of transportation, and a governmental policy that both safeguards and encourages develop ment, to speed it to a foremost posi tion as a commonwealth, rugged in citizenship and rich ih materialized resources. These things I can only mention. Within becoming limits one can not say more. Indeed, for the present many questions of vast importance must be hastily passed, reserving a fuller discussion to suitable occasion as the campaign advances. I believe the budget system will effect a necessary, helpful reforma tion. and reveal business methods to government business. I believe federal departments should be made more business-like and send back to productive effort thousands of federal employes, who are either duplicating work or not essential at all. I oelieve in the protective tariff policy and know we will be calling for its saving Americanism again. I believe in a great merchant »a rme —I would have this republic ihe leading maritime nation of the world. I believe in a navy ample to pro tect it, and able to assure us depend able defense. I believe in a small army, but the best in the world, with a mindful ness for preparedness which will avoid the unutterable cost of our previous neglect. I believe in our eminence in trade abroad, which the government should aid in expanding, both in revealing markets and speeding cargoes. I believe in establishing standards for immigration, which are concern ed with the futurq citizenship of the republic, not with mere manpower in industry'. Law Enforcement I believe that every man who dons the garb of American citizenship and walks in the light of American op portunity, must become American in heart and soul. t belieev in holding fast to every forward step in unshackling child labor and elevating conditions of woman’s employment. I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and re move that stain from the fair name of America. I believe the federal government should give its effective aid in solv ing the problem of ample and becom ing housing of its citizenship. I believe this government should make its Liberty and Victory bonds worth all that its patriotic citizens paid in purchasing them. I believe the tax burdens imposed for the war emergency must be re vised to the needs of peace, and in the interest of equity in distribution of the burden. I believe the negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they* have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood «m the battle fields ;of the republic- have entitled them to all of freedom and oppor tunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands. I believe there is an easy and open path to righteous relation ship with Mexico. It has seemed to in* that our undeveloped, uncertain and infirm policy has made us a culpable party to the governmental misfortunes in that land. Our rela tions ought to be both friendly and sympathetic; we would like to ac claim a stable government there, and offer a neighborly hand in pointing the way to greater progress! It will be simple to have a plain and neigh borly understanding, merely an understanding about respecting our borders, about protecting the lives and possessions of American citizens lawfully within the Mexican domin ions. There must be that under standing, else there can be no rec ognition, and then the understand ing must be faithfully kept. Many of these declarations deserve a fuller expression, with some sug gestions of plans to emphasize the faith. Such expression will follow, in due time, I promise you. I believe in law enforcement. If elected I mean to be a constitutional president, and it is impossible to ignore the constitution, unthinkable to evade the law, when our every committal is to orderly government. People ever will differ about the wisdom of the enactment of a law — there is divided opinion respecting the eighteenth amendment and the laws enacted to make it operative— but there can be no difference, of opinion about honest law enforce ment. Veteraoi of War Neither government nor party can afford to cheat the American people. The laws of congress must harmon ize with the constitution, else they soon are adjudged to be void; con gress enacts the laws, and the execu tive branch of government is charg ed with enforcement. We can not nullify because of divided opinion, we cannot jeopardize orderly govern ment with contempt for law enforce ment. Modification or repeal is the right of a free people, whenever the deliberate and intelligent public sen timent commands, but perversion and evasion mark the paths to tne failure of government itself. Though not in any partisan sense, I must speak of the services of the men and women who rallied to the colors of the republic in world war. America realizes and appreciates the services rendered, and sacrifices made and the sufferings endured. There shall be no distinction be tween those who knew the perils and glories of the battle front or the dangers of the sea, and those who were compelled to serve behind the lines, or those who constituted the great reserve of a grand army which awaited the call in camps at home. AH were brave, all were sacrific ing, all were sharers of those ideals which sent our boys thrice-armed to war. Worthy sons and daughters, these, fit successors to those who christened our banners in the im mortal beginning, worthy sons of those who saved the union and nationality when civil war wiped the ambiguity from the constitution, ready sons of those who drew the sword for humanity’s sake the first time in the world, in 1898. , The four million defenders on land and sea were worthy of the best traditions of a people never war-like in peace and never pacifist in war. They commanded our pride, they have our gratitude, which must have genuine expres sion. It is not only a duty, it is a privilege to see that the sacrifices made shall be requited, and that those still suffering from casualties and disabilities shall be abundantly aided and restored to the highest capabilities of citizenship and its enjoyment. Country’s Ideals The womanhood of America, always its glory, its inspiration and the po tent, uplifting force in its social and spiritual development, is about to be enfranchised. In so far as congress can go, the fact is already accom plished. By party edict, by recorded vote, by personal conviction I am committed to this measure of justice. Annual Berkshire Sale At Pyron Farm Attracts Buyers From AUOv er U. S. SY RALPH SMITH (Staff Correspondent of The Journal.) CARTERSVILLE, Ga„ July 22. The retrousse family of Meadowview farm is on the block today, following a day of feasting and festivity yes terday in which the members of the aforesaid family were the cynosure of hundreds of envious and admiring eyes. The retrousse family numbers two score or more' of the fattest, slickest and finest snub-nosed Berk shire hogs ever bred in the South. They represent the contribution of Ruohs Pyron, the famous breeder, to Georgia’s development of the live stock industry. The sale, which is an annual event, has attracted to Meadowview breed ers and fanciers from all> sections of the United States, and it is the con fident belief of these experts that Mr. Pyrons’ offerings will command record prices. The sale will be con ducted by Col. D. L. Perry, of Co lumbus, Ohio, a prominent auction eer, whose pig lingo breathes the philosophy of horse sense. Managing the sale is L. E. Frost, of Chicago, editor of the Berkshire World, the official organ of the Berkshire industry. Mr. Frost recog nizes in Meadowview farm and the breeding of Ruohs Pyron elements that have done much to elevate and popularize the hog-raising industry in the Southern states. As has been the custom hereto fore, the day preceding the auction at Meadowbrook was given over to the entertainment by Mr. Pyron and J. W. Vaughan, the Cartersville bank er, of the Pig club of Bartow county —an organization that has grown from nothing to a membership of several hundred boys and girls, who have profited financially by the breeding of pedigreed Berkshire hogs. Compete for Frizes Wednesday was no exception to the occasions that heretofore have ushered in the auction sale at Mead owview. There were hundreds of boys and girls here from all sec tions of Bartow county. Many had brought with them the best Berk shires they had bred during the year, and these were entered in com petition for prizes offered by Banker Vaughan and other public-spirited citizens of the county who are in terested in the development of the pig industry. The club members also heard many good speeches on breeding from re cognized authorities, and all entered a judging contest, in which many fine Berkshires were shown. Each boy and girl was afforded an oppor tunity and encouraged to analyze and criticize the good and bad points of the pigs that were shown. The knowledge displayed by the club members concerning the comendable points of the various Berkshires was a revelation to many of the grown ups, and old heads at the hog indus try remarked that the youth of Bar tow county is ahead of its age and generation in the art of pig breeding. As Editor Frost, of the Berkshire World, remarked, ‘‘it is evident that the interst and activity of Banker Vaughan and Breeder Pyron in the youth of Bartow county, supplement ed by the work of County Agent Cox. is working wonders. It has not been a great while since the boys and Republicans Ask Tennessee Members To Vote for Suffrage COLUMBUS, Ohio. July 22.—Re publican members of the Tennessee legislature were urged to vote for ratification of the federal woman suffrage amendment under a - resolu tion adopted unanimously late today by the executive committee of the Republican national committee. It is my earnest hope, my sincere desire that the one needed state vote be quickly recorded in the affirma tion of the right of equal suffrage, and that the vote of every citizen shall be cast and counted in the approaching election. Let us not share the apprehensions of many men and women as to the danger of this momentous extension of the franchise. Women have never been without influence in our political life. Enfranchisement will bring to the polls the votes of citizens who have been born upon our soil, or who have sought in faith and as surance the freedom and opportuni ties of our land. It will bring the women educated in our schools, train ed in our customs and habits of thought, and sharers of our problems. It will bring the alert mind, the awakened conscience, the sure in tuition. the abhorrence of tyranny or oppression, the wide and tender sym pathy that distinguish the women of America. Surely there can be no danger there. ’ And to the great number of noble women who have opposed in con viction this tremendous change in the ancient relation of the sexes as ap plied to government, I venture to plead that they will accept the full responsibility of enlarged citizenship and give to the best in the republic their suffrage and support. Much has been said of late about world ideals, but I prefer to think of the ideal for America. I like to think there is something more than the patriotism and practical wisdom of the founding fathers. It is good to believe that maybe destiny held this new-world republic to be the supreme example of representative de mocracy and orderly liberty by which humanity Is inspired tohigher achieve ment. It is idle to think we have attained perfection, but there is the satisfying- knowledge that we hold orderly processes for making our gov ernment reflect the heart and mind of the republic. Ours is not only U fortunate people, but a very com mon-sensical people, with vision h> T. but their feet on the earth, with be lief in themselves and faith in God. Whether enemies threaten from with out or menaces arise from within, there is some indefinable voice say ing, “Have confidence in the repub lic! America will go on!” Pledges Fidelity Here is a temple of libertv no storms may shake, here are the al tars of freedom no passions shall de stroy. It was American in concep tion. American in its building, it shall be American in the fulfilment. Sectional once, we are all American now, and we mean to be all Ameri cans to all the world. Mr. Chairman, Members of the Committee, My Countrymen, All: I would not b< my natural self if I did not utter my consciousness of my limited ability to meet your full expectations, or to realize the aspira tions within my own breast, but I will gladly give all that is tn me, all of heart, soul and mind and abid ing love of country, to service in our common cause. I can only pray to the Omnipotent God that I may be as worthy in service as I know my self to be faithful in thought and purpose. One can not give more. Mindful of the vast responsibilities I must be frankly humble, but I have that confidence in the consideration and support of all true Americans which makes me wholly unafraid. With an unalterable faith and in a hopeful spirit, with a hymn of serv ice in my heart, I pledge fidelity to our country and to God, and accept the nomination of the Republican party for the presidency of the United States. i PELLAGRA as CurabSe— Our Way: No Cure No Pay.

He assured them, that ped’- greed Berkshires always command a ready market and a fancy price, and that’ any boy or girl in the county could win a handsome return on his or her labors by devoting spare time to the raising of Berkshires. W. H. Martin, of Atlanta, presi dent of the Georgia Bankers’ asso ciation, and Haynes McFadden, of Atlanta, secretary of the associa tion, attended the pig club meet as guests of Banker Vaughan. “I was aware that the live stock industry in Georgia was in the as cendancy,” said Mr. Martin, “but I had no idea that it had shown such a fine development as is apparent here today. Unquestionably, Mr. Vaughan and Mr. Pyron are public benefactors in’ stimulating an inter est among the youth of Bartow coun ty in the breeding of Berkshires. The people of the state are in the dark as to the wonderful strides that have been made and few appreciate the financial possibilities. “Meadowview farm is an eye opener to me. I had not the remot est idea that any sucn hogs as these on exhibition here were or could be raised in Georgia, but after seeing them I am not surprised that breed ers from all quarters of the United States are here to participate in the auction sale.” A feature of the day equally as delightful and quite as welcome as the pig show was the basket picnic that was served under the shade of the spreading oaks at the spring house. Mrs. Pyron presided at this banquet, and the hundreds who crowded about the table never en joyed a more delightful meal of all the good things that grow and are raised on the farm. The judging contest was conduct ed by E. J. of Thornton, Ind., assisted by Carl Wallace, of the State College of Agriculture; L. E. Frost, of the Berkshire World; J. E. Downing, of the American Berk shire congress, and C. H. Cox, coun ty agent.
