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 ^ ~ "

"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 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

The growing crops are looking fine
and most of the farmers in this community
have finished laying by unless
it is some late planting.
ltev. 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.
