country needs sorely this kind of service just now vor for eight years we have been trying to solve american problems by un american methods and the result is chaos mr harding will approach every problem from the point of view of a simple honorable and practical americanism perhaps this method will succeed where the complicated coal machinery of imported liberalism has tailed failed at any rate the country will welcome a return to ways of doing things which have worked well in a good many difficult days gone by and which the average everyday every day american understands driven to an attitude of exaggerated sensitiveness over constitutional rights and prerogatives tor for the la last t two years our government has been occupied with an linfernal lin da terrial war of its own under these conditions it la is not surprising lne that it has done so BO little to advise peace here or elsewhere if mr harding is elected as now seems likely and a republican congress is returned we shall once more have both branches of the government pulling together and we may hope to see the business of the government receive effective attention it would be idle to say shahe republican convention has nominated a progressive ticket it is conservative the platform is conservative the temper ot of the party as a whole is conservative if the democrats believe that the country would prefer a program of radicalism they now have the opportunity port unity to no a radical and run him on a radical platform then we shall have it a clean cut issue between two great parties representing the two
