UNTARNISHED GOLD
A world held tense and uncertain beneath a sombre
pall of misgiving and doubt, the fate of liberty held in
suspense while mothers prayed for loved ones engulfed in
the carnage of shot and shell, disease and those forces
which rend asunder the veil of civilization and reveal the
beast in man. Then the happy tidings that the Armistice
has been declared, the thunder of cannon melts away to a
death-like stillness, men stack arms and all is peace.
These are the meditations which come home to us to
morrow when we look back over those years of carnage
and bloodshed when the world was in the grip of des
truction and strife.
it is then we recall the debt we owe those who went
down into the valley and the shadow of death that the
treasures of liberty and justice should not perish from
the earth. ,
Thus tomorrow we can set aside other tnoughts and
allow ourselves to recompute the obligation w e o\\ e the
brave men who stood as a bulwark against the encioach
ment of despotic power and reconsolidated the treasures
of American freedom and independence under a nag
which has never been humbled.
THE TURNING POINT
The victory of the Democratic party thruout the _na
tion may be said to mark the turning point in. the crisis
ISIS
which has hovered over the world for two bitter years.
The great cosmopolitan class of America has served
notice that there are limitations to which an oligarchy ot
wealth may go before receiving a check. Having served
this warning this influence must perforce have a signal
effect unon other nations just now wrestling with the
same problems with which this nation has been at grips.
The decision in the United States is something more
than a political victory. It is the verdict with respect to
two clear-cut and understandable economic postulates.
The position by those who wrecked the Republican
narty was the same which confronted Theodore Roose
velt/and against which he fought. This position, almost
identical with taut of royalty, was that nations could sui
vivo and prosper only when the agencies of production
and finance were in the hands of a chosen few, who by the
very fact of their entrenched position, held the right to
dictate the weai or woe of the general public.
When this same condition faced the people in 1906, ■
they were too timid to risk an assault for rear of their
daily bread. The war years may be passed over as extra-j
on -nary influences having little to do with our economic;
affairs save in that they offered vast opportunities, which
became contagious and corrupted the people.
It was this corruption which the post-war profiteers;
capitalized until they had taken from the pople all they
possessed in reserves and which finally fructified in lack
<>f employment end opportunity to win their daily bread.
It required courage for this political expression in a
nation wherein 25,000,000 souls are either penniless or
forced to idleness by the collapse of a vicious system of;
pyramiding paper profits, immense combinations of in- i
dustrv and capital, which had unloaded their watered j
stocks and debentures upon the public, taking therefor |
their money.
It is a singular fact that the general dissatisfaction
with the present order of things permeates the world. To;
the eternal glory of America the method taken for solu- j
tion was that which had been provided by the architects!
of the nation—the ballot.
One may not look for legislation seeking reprisals
upon those who are responsible for collapse of business, !
banks and industry. Rather it will come by gradual prun-;
ing of the statutes under which such things have been'
permitted and a safeguarding against repetition—until
the people forget the lesson just offered in the present de
pression and allow their affairs to again gravitate to the
liands of mercenaries.
