| THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND. October 9, 1920—Page 7 Mr. Editor:— My indignation at the low estimate Senator Harding has placed on the intelligence of the farmer has compelled me to write the following. If any of his, friends think I have done him an injustice I would like to hear from them. The Senator has evidently come to the conclusion that the laborer can no longer be fooled by the dangling of an empty dinner pail or scared by threats of shutting down of factories. So he has brought the full force of his protection propaganda upon the farmer as being the only sucker left who will s)wallow such, tommy-rot. He divides the farming-element into two distinct classes: the agriculturist, -who farms for a pastime, and in his hilarious mood^ in- forms his guests his milk costs more than his champagne. The agriculturists, he informs, do not need nor must not expect any favors of the government; the farmers, who. toil early asd late, he tries to scare to death by telling them the time is near when we will not produce what we cossume, and his wheat must be protected against the cheap wheat from foreign countries. Now he ist including everything the farmer produces, except cheese, asd before "a bill" is ready for his signature I expect he will declare that the cheese industry of the world is in great danger of being destroyed by the cheap product of the moon. Senator Harding surely got his linesi badly crossed when he informed a delegation of farmers "that he would rather be a farmer (he must have meant agriculturist) than be President; then he could sit on his fence and tell the passersby to go jump in the river." It might be picturesque but not profitable, to see the fences, along the highways lined with farmers telling the passersby "to go jump in the river." I, for one, will not engage in any such pastime unless he incorporates in his "bill of protection" a clause making it a capital offense for anyone to interfere with a farmer's pastime.

Peace on earth has , for centuries been dreamed of, but never seriousiy pledged to by the peoples of the world until, I believe, (horrible as it was) the Peace Maker of the World brought home to all the great nations of the globe, in a bloody and disastrous way, the horrors of a gigantic war; the sillinesq of covilized people adjusting their differences via the bayonet; the improbability, if not the impossibility of countries reared and fed on mlitarism and governed by other than the people's will, to dispense with war until they be educated and if necessary forced to breathe in an atmosphere full of the doctrines and principles such as this country (a peace loving people) has prospered amidst; and Anally, the necessity and absolute imperativeness" for tjie United States, great as she is recognized to be, to realize her strength and influence internationally; to throw aside the curtain that some of our Statesmen would vision around our shores, and to stand upon the principle that "while we are descendants of the past we are not parents of the future," and must, great as the undertaking may be, take our place in the world's affairs and lend our thought and hand to the peaceful adjustment of the future destiny of 'ts people. ' That pledge, known as the League of Nations, is the first real and what premises to be lasting step toward permanent peace on earth we have ever known. It- is from the pen of President Wilson principally, but embodies the thought and idea of the country's great Statesmen and scholars, including Taft, Root, Dr. Elliott and 'S. If that covenant as - drawn. contains a few defects (which I do not concede) from the standpoint of our country's participation therein, those ca nand will be clarified when it is a working- instrument, but to hold it up now. pending a partisan discussion thereof, cannot be longer tolerated, I for such a course will certainly defeat , hole plan for a world peace. Our great Constitution was adopted I ever the bitterest protest as to many i of its provisions, by great Statesmen I of that day, and within a year the Bill i of Rights was adopted, which made : such changes as were necessary after it had become the great working law of our land. Such a course should our Statesmen pursue today, in order to bring- that to the world for which so many of our men gave their lives, and bring it without months and months more being consumed by a discussion of a few? little differences. Are they not little differences!? Article 10 of the League -presents the principle objection to those attacking the covenant, on the theory that it makes our armed forces subject to the will of European countries to fight foreign wars. That is not so, and the critics know it. This covenant does not supersede our Constitution, which provides: that war by this country must be approved and declared by Congress. It does, however, morally obligate our strength and influence upon unanimous action by the League Council to 'fight if necessary, to keep the peace of the world. To not do this does not come with sound argument; on the eve of the great war we fought side by side with great nations of the globe and on foreign soil. Does anyone for a minute argue that we should have gone to war with Germany as a separate nation and fought it out, if need be, on our own shores? Does anyone for a minute argue against the wisdom of our country stemming the tide of the war-loving hoards of prussianism as we did, and thereby blot out in its infa which promised to be the attempted conquering of the world by means of war? Such will be the moral obligation of all the world powers that have signed the League Covenant; and who doubts the prophecy that, when these great powers lay their cards en the table, face up, with the) motto "We stand as one against war," the threatening powers will get cold feet. I am as satisfied as I am that the sun rises and sets, that should there have been this League of Nations in existence, before the World War, and G-ermany had been told, first, that her policy was disapproved; and second, that the United States] would lend its forces if need be to check her, that the pages of history would never have been stained with the horrors the last war read, into its. new chapters. I care not for partisan differences on other questions in this campaign as! compared with the great issue on the League of Nations. The high cost of living is a matter which will adjust itself, being an internal matter for adjustment by our country' PORK. •-" BUILDERS OF BUSINESS JL 1 For Manufacturers, Jobbers, Merchants and Farmers MOTOR TRUCKS To Everyone Interested in the Movement of Freight: It is up to you, Mr. BUSINESS MAN, to make provisions for the delivery of freight within a radius of 100 miles of your place.
