THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
Harding's League Stand
T the Editor of th Evening fuMie Ledorr;
Blr Durtn a recent campaign In the
Bouth, hn Senator Hardlnr was closlne
hi Kentucky rnmpalsn, the Republican can
didate took a firm a'and against the IitKUi
et Nations, stating hla conclusive views In
retard to It In thle address and slmll.tr
addrellaea throughout the country the sena
tor made clear hU obligations to Article X.
Arlnc that they were abolute and untiuali.
fled; that hnever certain spe.tle clrcum
alenees arose, no matter how much we might
recret It. w would have to keep our promise
or be dishonored.
.Thee were hln words a h( faced a lame
'Assembly of eaiw face'- "Lt no one be do
elvd the iho.c would be between two
things war or dishonor."
He waa severely attacked by Governor Co
In an address at Loulevllle. In which the
Democratic candidate arcueed Harding of
taking a eelfUh stand In regard to the
league. Haa Harding been Juitly accused?
Do we. the people of tli United Statti of
America, hold trust In the covenant or the
constitution of the United Btatea the con
(tttutlon which our forefather so wleely
and ahrewdly constructed? Those men of
Infinite poer who eaw a great nation In
the making and ao constructed a greai doc
ument for the protection of that nation,
rwple will asy; Why listen to the presehlne
of those dead and tone why tie nurslea
and become alaves to tradition? Hut could
th! view Justly and wisely be called tradl
I ttonT It could not. The words of these mn
V. bat passed up through the generations, Im
pressing upon us the constancy and stead
fastness of such a document
In the attack against Hardlnr, Cox said:
"It we were to held the preaching of the
I'rephet of Marlon, we might Just a well
make our Declaration of Independence a
crap of paper we might Just as well burn
all our (treat Americans, past and present.
In efflry." ,
Was It not one of the greatest Americans
who aver lived, ono of the greatest states
men our nation has ever known, that warned
us eralnst this very thing' He, Oeorge
Washington, the father of this nation, said:
"The treat rule of conduct for us In rcgnrd
to, foreign nations Is In extending- our com
mercial relations, to have with them as
little connection as possible. 8o far we
have already formed enticement. I.et
(hem be fulfilled with perfect good faith.
Ktre let ua atop. Europe ha a eei of pri
mary Interests which to u hae none or
a vry remote relation: hence she must be
ened In frequent controversies, the causes
of which are essentially foreign to our con
cerns. Therefore It muss be unwise for us
to Implicate ourselves by artificial tie In
the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics or
the ordinary combinations and conclusions
of hr friendships or enmities."
In another clause Cox said: "We mlghi
Juat a well begin now to train our future
citizen to bellev that greatest among us
are those who recognise sstflshnes rather
than .service aa the creed of America."
We have not recognised elBahnes In the
rait. Wo had no League of Nation to
control our Interest. Why, then, can we
not continue this In the future? We have
paid our moral debt to France and played a
great factor In making the world a place
fit to llvo In. We made the supreme ne
rlflea shoulder to ahoulder with our Allies,
pilling American blood to save democracy.
Did a league of nation exist then? America
spent million of dollar before, during and
after the world war o that the people
of the world would bo saved from starva
tion. I this selfishness?

about by himself. He must remember that
conditions are different. A man goes away ,
to work in the morning nnd Is busy all day ,
and dots not hae time to brood over nit
little personal worries; but Instead, a wife
has so much leisure time at home and she
finds It hanging heavily on her hands To
kill time she studies up n list of different
things that she can discuss with her hut
band when he gtta home, nine out of ten
of which are her loneaomcnes. her wish for
a chance, her trouble with the tenant and
his conduct toward her.
When tho husband thowt resentment at
his wife's complaint, she sas "Oh, yet.
It Is well enough for you to criticise: but
If you had to stay home all day and go
through the dally routlno that a woman
does you also would becomo discontented.

after their day's work, and In order to
tecape the complaining wife they will tele

If men would simply curb thilr wives In

they would have less trouble later on. nut

Recognizing Women's Titles
To thr Editor of the Kvtnlno Public Lrdotr:
Sir I am at a lost to know why so
many people, women In particular, fall
to recognize the medical degree If tt ts
obtained and held by a woman, I refdr
to the form used In addressing the Indi
vidual. In this country we look upon a prrtan
aa Ignorant of our custom If the fells
to do thla when addressing a man when
he hold o. decree. Why should not the
same courtesy bo extended to a woman?
It requires no amall expenditure of tlmo

a woman not bo entitled to the same recog

Whoro Is now the merry party
I remember long ago;
Laughing round tho Chrlatma fires.
Brightened by It ruddy glow;
Or In summer' balmy evening
In the fields upon the hay?
They are all dispersed and wandered
Far away, far away,
Some have gone to lands far distant
And with strangers made their home:
Some upon the world of wntcrs
All their lles are forced to roam:
Somo have gone from us forever,
Longer here they might not stoy:
They have reached a fairer region
Far away, far away.
Thero are still somo few remaining
To remind ua of the past,
But they change a all thing change here.
Nothing In thla world can last;
Tear go on and pass forever.
What Is coming who can say?
Ere this closes mnnv mav be
Far away, far away.

"A World to Mend" is likely to he
n satiHfylug story in these days of ko

Sherwood, author of several notuhlt'
hort stories and novels, has written
what she describes ns "the journal
of a workingmnti." It is the day-to-day
lecord of the meditations, rcllcftlnnx
nnd experiences of n symbolic "cob

with his cogitations and views on home,
citizenship, humanity. It gives fine
views on the real meaning of democracy.

FOR THE YOUNGSTERS
H-VMMKIi-a t
Fiction, Fairy Tales and Infor
mation for Both Boys
and Girls
Girls as well ns bovs will find much
Information. In ''The" Young Citizen's
uwn uook." The passage of tlic nine
teenth amendment takes books of this
class out of tho strict realm of guidance
for boys. Now that girls are potential
voters they will, have even a keener
desire to learn more about civics. They
will want to know how to mnko citizen
ship safe for citizens. ChclHca Curtli
Kraser. who has written n number ot
Interesting nnd Informative books about
celebrated battles, personalities, etc.,
has furnished just the knowledge and
lore that young citizens should have its
part of their mental possession nnd
which will bo valiinblo to them in prep-1
oration for tho suffrago on their coming 1
ot age. Ho has written really n per
sonally conducted tour through thc
mnchlncry room of government, describ
ing in easy chnttcr style, with full ex
planation of technicalities, how the
various branches of our public affairs
arc managed. He tells thc "why" nnd
"wlierefore " ot a good many things
that citizens of even vntijig age have
either never known or have often for
gotten. His chapter four, treating of
tho rights nnd reipntiMbllitics of clll
7enshlp, is very useful.
From 1020, when women vote, to
1020, when they hail no inkling of what
the next .300 years would do in the
status of women, it n long dlstnucc
back, but women then, an now. wore
sharers in the rceimriHibilltiox of great
movements. Marlon Ames Tnggnrt. n
favorite writer for glrld. has Ntinnned
thc distance and written n btory for her
clientele that Is particularly appropriate
in this tercentenary of the rilgrlms'
coming. We often speak of tho I'llgrhn
fathers, but thV Pilgrim mothcra were
jtict'ns devoted nnd sacrificing for their
principles. Mlsw Tnggart .Oioiv.s. too,
the heroic mold of the younger genera
tion In "A Pilgrim Maid." There is
plenty of real live story to thin book and
