and squirming-, shifting and heart against the brutal'ty and

pending crash of stagnation and spreading devastation and death

lions mourn," partisan prejudice

form a combine in politics
rob Wilson and his administrn-
*, on of a glorious world wide ac-
hievement in bringing out of the-
world's bloodiest war the world's
brightest hope for the ending
of all wars. Every method of
contortion and distortion in
which falsehood and false act;:*
sat ion could be made plausible
was used to slander anjl traduce
Wilson and his world league for
peace. And rn the fog and fury
for the fusilade hurled against
him and the League of Nations
they spread purple robes of
righteousness over the horns
and forked togue of the devil
and cried out t'/„ t the Leagu -
was a damnable combination to
crown the Pope of Home Lore
of all the earth. With an uiu-
tion that would have made a
Tudean Pharisee ashamed of his
bigotry, they pr I' umed them-
selves the sanct. ed guardians
of America and declared the
League to a "Shameless surren-
der of our sovereignty" and the
creation of super government.
Knowing that God had said the
love of money was the root of
all evil and distorting that Scrip
tural proposition which Bays;
"Money ansjwereth all things '
they slung their slush fund ;n-
to every channel of life. They
overrawed the timid, deceived
the innocent, corrupted the ve -
al and brought down an aval-
anche of votes against Wilson
and his League for peace. No
pen on earth can ever protray
the political perfidy of the sec-
ret cabal of conspirators against
the peace and tranquility of a
broken hearted, distressed Hu-
manity and the dire calam t.v
they caused by their conduct
has only been exceeded by the
war itself.
At the close of the war. at
the middle of 1919, we stoou
at the front in the world's pro-
cession. The praise of Wdodrow
Wilson and our Republic waft
snug in every tongue on earth.
The world stood on tiptoe watch
ing and waiting for our Senate
to rat fy the treaty and let
Uncle Sam continue as the woria
godfather of freedom. Our men,
money and machinery had mo-
bilized under pressure of war
until we were the world's most
potential power mi productive
industry. Under Wilson we had
become the world's deciding fac-
tor in war. we lead the world
norally and in finance and com-
merce. We had two-thirds or
the world's gold in our banks.
We had a forrirn trade of over
ten billion of dollars, our mines
fields, forests and factories
were turning out billiops of
wealth in commodities and com-
merce, and the world owed us
nearly twelve billions of dollar?
The whirling wheels of in-
dustry were humming at full
speed on full time in every
nook and corner of our land, i*o
idle men, no idle machinery. In
Europe it was different. The de-
vastation of war had left half
the country in desolution and
despair with neither money,
credit, food or raiment. Ine
whole of Europe was in a pan-
lemonium of debt. Her idle mil-
lions must be transferred ft..in
the ranks of the army to the
ranks of industry. Without
peace, money and credit this
could not be done. In this criti-
cal moment in the world's af-
rairs it was our duty to God
and humanity to give this for-
lorn war-torn country our moral
and financial support by ratify-
ing the peace treaty and lead
the world to a more excellent
way than war.
But lead by the unseen hand
behind the screens of sorcfid sU
ic greed and in front of screens
by narrow and shortsighted
statesmen, Wilson and his whole
program were rejected. At this
the world stood amazeH and
abashed, and Europe and our
own countrv started down th"
toboggan slide to disaster and
iniversal bankruptcy. The con-
suming world in Europe took
nearly e:ght bilions of our sur-
rlus everv year were killea by
onr war junkers' refusal to ra-
tify the peace treaty. The com-
merce of the whole war-stricken
world was choked and strangled
| our farmers were forced to put
the crop on a dead market, tlie
price of wheat clumped to a Iom
of over one billions. The corn
slumped to a loss of nearly two
billion and cqtton to a loss of
over one billion. Thus the lar-
mers went down with Wilson
and lost over five billions of
dollars. Five mill ona of working
men went down with Wilson
and were thrown into tho junk
pile to bog. steal or starve, and
in the squalor of poverty an':.
depredation breed anarchv and|
bolshivism. The consuming pow-
er of our o"n country in this!
terrible condition was reduced
over half, hence shops, factor!
■es. banks and business stood in
stagnation. And about orw m r-
"hant out of ten went down witn
Wilson and walked a debt-pav-
ed road to the bankrupt courts.
Millions of our common people
and our soldier boys who
bought war bonds went down
with Wilson and were forced to
sell their bonds at ruinous loss
to tide them over the panic that
big business, the oil trusts, steel
trusts, the international gold
syndicate knew would bring mil-
lions to their tills when the
war iunkers killed the peace
treaty and loaded the world
with big ships and battlements.
Finding out that in killing Wil-
son and the peace treaty thev
had k:lled the goose that laid
our golden eggs and viewing the
wreck thev made, foced by the
law of self defense, Harding's
administration is now trying to
move with the world along the
highway that Wilson and his ad-
ministration blazed out. But I
thank God that the world's best
leaders, notwithstanding the re-
publican party and war lords
had, with remorseles partisan
hate repudiated Wilson and his
glorious labors for human free-
dom and justice, took up the
work of forming the world into
a league for peace as Wilson
had planned. And coming fresh
from the gory fields of battle,
looking with mercy and pity on
a whole sphere of earth filled
with mourn'ng and misery, ruin
ed homes and ravaged lands
submerged in poverty, hunger
and sorrow, they formed a lea-
gue binding forty-eight nations
to settle their disputes at a
world's court and a world's
