HARDING'S SECOND FRONT PORCH SPEECH M ________ Marion, Ohio, August 4.?Decrying appeals to classes as a menace second ony to surrender of nationality to in^ ternationality, Senator Harding in his y second front porch Presidential Campaign speech today, declared that if he could choose but one, he would "rather have industrial and social i peace at home than command the international peace of all the world." He asserted it would be unwise for this country to permit "our activities in seeking for peace in the old world to blind us to the essentials of peace at home," and added that "if America I can be made to forget the atempted barter of Nationality, weKand good," but that "when Nationality is surrendered to Internationality, little else matters, and all appeal is vain." The address was delivered to a delegation of Wayne county, Ohio, republicans. Taking up the league of nations, Senator Harding declared it to be the other extreme to a referendum on a proposed declaration of war. "I emphatically agree," he said, "that no authority other than Congress may call our boys to battle. Accepting this truth, why make a covenant which violates the good faith of Nations." "Suppose", he continued, "that under Article X, a program of armed force is a group and the Congress of the United States declines to respond, the executive would be called upon to carry on a war without constitutional authority or we should prove our compact no more than a scrap of paper. We are on the side of both safety and honor to hold for ourselves the decision of our obligations to the world." Senator Harding's address in part, follows: "There have came to me, not at all unbecomingly, the expressed anxieties of Americans foreign born who are Asking our .country's future attitude on territorial awards in the adjustment of peace. They are Americans all, but they have a proper and natural interest in the fortunes of kinsfolk and native lands. One cannot blame them. If our land is to settle envies, rivalry's, calousis, and hatred of all civilization these adopted sons of the republic want the settlement favorable to the land from which they came. "The raisfortunte is not alone that it rends the concord of nations, the greater the pity it is that it rends the concord of our citiznship at home. It is folly to think of blending Greek and Bulgarian, Italian and Slovak, or making any of them rejoicingly American when the land of adoption sits in judgment on the land from which they came. "Governor Coolidge spoke the other day of the rescue of America from the reactions of war. We also need to be rescued from the visionary and fruitless pursuit of peace through super government, j do not want Americans of foreign birth making their party alignments' on. which we mean to do for some nations of the nations of the old world. We want them to be republican because of what we mean to do for the United States of America. Our call is for unison , not rivalling sympathies our need is concord, not the antipathies of long inheritance. "Surely, no one stopped to think where the great world experiment was leading. Frankly no one could know. We are only learning now. It would be a sorry day for this republic if we allowed our activities in seeking for peace in the old world to blind us t A fVlO ooconfinlo ^ ~ " vvr VI1V voovuwaio VII peace Ut IIUI/IVJ. "There is another thought relating to concord so essential to continued advancement. It was said the other day that the democratic party meant especially to appeal to the farmers and the wage earners, and let America forget the failure of the world experiment. (That America can be made to forget the attempted barter of Nationality, well and gaad. It would be better if we could forget. But when nationality is surrendered to interna tionaLity, little else matters, and all appeal is in vain. There is only one other measure so threatening to our tranquility. That menace is the appeal to class in determining what our government is to be. I would hold myself unworthy of your confidence N if I spoke an appeal to either farmers or wage earners bcause of their larger numbers. We wish the confidence of all. "You said. Judge Taggart, this delegation comes from shop, store, factory, office and farm. We could not well get along without any of them. We must exchange as well as produce, and we must teach andjjreach in order to attain as well as to acquire. "There isn't any governmental pai ? in fixing pursuit profession or employment. Perhaps I ought to madify that and say?except during war, government did interfere for the war and we want to end that 'interference. We want a free America again. We want America free at home and free in the world. We want to silence the outcrv of nation against nation, in vnw Aumiv-oc vi uiiucistmiiiiK, rtiiu wc wish to silence the cry of class against class and stifle the party appeal to class so that we man insure tranquility in our freedom. If I could choose but one. I had rather have industrial and social peace at home, than command the international peace of all the world. "In the study of the great world tragedy, some one has pointed out that the world war might have been avoided if united Germany had adopted that feature of our legislation which gives congress the right to declare war. Many advocates of pacificism ^ think our safeguards are not enough, ^ that there should be a referendum to the people before war. The other extreme is foynd amonp> those who seriously propose that a council of foreign powers shall Summon the sons of this republic to war anywhere in the world. I emphatically agree that no authority other than congress shall call our boys to battle Accepting this truth, ,why make a covenant which violates the good faith of nations? Suppose ' that under the military alliance and the super-authority of article X, a program of armed force is agroup and the congress of the United States declines to respond The executive would be called upon to carry on a war without international authority or we should prove our compact no more than a scrap of paper. We are on the side of both safety and honor to hold for ourselves the decision of our obligatin to the world. "We have ever played a becoming part in human progress, we will not fail to play it in that freedom of consftignce and afction which befits a confident republic. Men prate about violated obligations to the nations of the earth. The solemn truth is that our part in the world war was an obligaion to ourselves, performed in sympathy^ with so called allied powers and our splendid cart in helping to win was the arn.ej manifestation of American conscience, not the fulfillment of a written obligation. "It is impossible to definitely fix our course amid the usual conditions in the wake of war. The world has to steady down. We have been talking about netting back to normal. That doesn't mean the old order, that doesn't mean looking backward. Jt is the short and easy way of saying, "again to stability,' 'once more to regularity.' There hasn't besn a backward look in America in three hundred years, but the man who faces the future with highest assure/ices is he who has noted the paths which make his progress secure. "We Republicans hold that the inherited plans of legislation represent popular government with the inspirations of nationality and a fair chance to every man. have enabled men to write the supreme story of human and national advancement in all the world, and we mean to hold the inheritance secure and go confidently to greater i and grander achievement." I rtPVll A f?T ft liinipi/v*i L,vvi\nni\i JUlltUUn I am writing another letter but cannot get much time for I am always on the go. There is something new happening every day. Children's Day Services were held at New Hope church Sunday and a large crowd enjoyed the well carried out program. Mrs. James Whitlock and Mrs. A. L. Gault deserve much praise for the excellent training they gave the children. Many visitors from various parts of the country were present among them being Mr. and Mrs. Anderson Brown of Union, W. A. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. West and Miss Cox, Miss Ola Whitlock of Spartanburg. The'crop prospect is very fine now and wftjlong to see plenty made and good piicca prevail. I was at the Adamsburg picnic ari*d my, my, the good things to eat. As fine a dinner as I ever saw, the ladieRj:furnished the chicken, pies, cakes,*Wead, pickles, and other things and the men provided the hash. Everybody had plenty and ther was loads to- spare. I was there a year ?o at a picnic and a young couple slipped away and got married. I asked the question if anyone was to be married that day but no one was in the notion. I do enjoy the good ptople and the picnics and parties.' It is fine to have a little recreation and lose sight of j hard times and strife and selfishness and not live alone. If a; stranger comes into your community invite him to church and give him a welcome. It will do you good and do him good. Are you doing everything to help build up your community, your church, your school, your county and State? Who is looking after that broken pane of glass in the church window? Are you helping to fix it? Have you given anything to help clean up the house or the churchyard ? Have .you contributed to buy oil or trimmed the lamps or have you done anything? Think it over and see how much you might hav done if you had tried. Have you paid the 1 preacher or your church dues? J. A. Brown was here yesterday at preaching and he' said he was going to tell the editor what the preacher said about me in his sermon, so I promised to tell it myself. He said I j naa a noDDy ana mat a couple wanted 1 ; to get married and when the question j was asked if there was any objections, i or any question to ask, that I always said I had one I wanted them to sub- 1 scribe to the Daily Times. That is ' my hobby and I am guilty and proud of it. Theodore Smith and Miss Bessie 1 Kelly were visitors at my home Sunday. A crowd of young folk came to see me Sunday, among them Victor < Smith and Belue. Miss Ruby Smich 1 of Oakland, Misses Sallie Whitlock 1 and Ola Whitlock of Spartanburg? 1 all came in an outo to see Moxy. j Come again young friends. I enjoy ' jour visits. 1 Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Gault and Wil- 1 lie, Jr., of Union, spent the day at 1 my home last weak. 1 Miss Ella Sargle of Graniteville, 1 spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Reaves, and visited other friends in Jonesville township this week. 1 TO THE PUBLIC 1 Washington, D.

W. A. Stevenson conducted the protracted meetings at Mt. Lebanon church last week. There were large crowds and the church was full at every service. The services closed last Saturday night with live new members. This writer uttended the short course at the Central School building of Union the 21-23. 1 think every demonstration was fine. "Mother Walker" (as most every one there called her) gave some fine demonstrations. I also enjoyed the other demonstrations that were given. I received lots of benefit from the trip, and certainly enjoyed having our good editor with us. His smiles made us feel welcome while in Union. Was glad to meet Vero. I certainly appreciate the interest that Miss Mahala J. Smith has taken; <he is doing her part in helping the boys and girls of Union county. We are looking forward to havinir a picnic the 17th of August, near the Coleraine school house. Miss Smith will be wish us, and all club members are invited to come and bring a picnic lunch, also the correspondents and the cat are invited to come. Remember the date, August 17th, and come. Miss Seleana Sumner, of Union, has aeen visiting her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Kit Whitehead, but has returned home. Mrs. F. J. Lawson, of Greenville, is in this community to spend some time with relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Smith were visiting Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Smith Sunlay. Wonder when Moxy is coming out un this route again ? I heard a man say the other day that his time to the paper was out, and he loved his paper so much that he would have to renew again. Rosebud.
