McKean Democrat (Newspaper) - February 15, 1923, Smethport, Pennsylvania Vage four the Democrat thurs., feb. 15, the Mckean Democrat Russell Lindsley editor and manager. Entered Smethport Posto Altce Smethport pa., thursday february 15 second class int scr. 1923. Editorial during the world War when the majority of Republican newspapers were directing All their artillery against president intend ing to be unpatriotic but to thoroughly discredit him with an Eye not to the the War but to the winning of a political Battle in the of this resolved that he would never be guilty of such practices if political balance was changed. The very Many Republican newspapers in face of the accomplishment of the Wilson administration in doing the things that alleged experts like general Wood had but a few months before been preaching to us would be impossible to accomplish in raising a huge army and trans porting several millions of men overseas did not miss an Opportunity to revile the president of their nation despite the fact that he was unquestionably the one Man who was guiding the Allied cause to Victory after the governments had chased around other Allied circles for n would have fallen. But they did. Not and due to circumstances if not sagacity we Are still Able to laugh at the victims of their own greed j who would gain something for nothing or beat a Genius of chicanery at his own game. But the Philadelphia record in the following editorial takes a different View of the matter William Kolaski sojourning in los Angeles purchased the other Day from two kind Strang ers who were willing to let him into a Good thing a Bill making machine capable of turning Ovit 100 Bills of denomination per Day. The machine was very simple in construction con sisting of two pieces of Hoard fastened together with a Bolt and very easy to operate. The strangers showed Kolakoski just How it worked they put a piece of Blank paper Between the boards tightened tip the Bolt released it again and withdrew a very Good looking Bill that would fool any Bank Teller. And they sold this machine and the right to use it. To or Kolakow i for spot Cash. When the purchaser look a Day off to inane a facture of pocket Money the darned machine would t work. He sought the pleas ant gentlemen who had sold him the apparatus but could t Lizul him. Then he told the police fearing that he had been swindled. Let us not laugh at William Kolakoski. Tie just needs several years not Only missing several opportunities to win the War before our entry but to the contrary nearly losing it. Despite the really wonderful accomplish ment of taking millions of Young men from counting rooms stores shops farms and industries equipping them training them and placing several army groups on the firing line in France prepared to successfully out match the most perfect fighting machines Ever developed our Republican journalistic friends bitterly reviled our president who was giving his very life to successfully performing the Gigantic task assigned to him. In one column the Republican newspapers would beseech their readers to subscribe to the War Loans and in the next column would rant had read in the los Angeles newspapers Day after Day year in and year out that the United states is the land of Opportunity that All the choicest opportunities sprout and flourish in California and that the very pick of the choicest the extra fancy four Gold medal at the world s fair opportunities Are to be roped in and around los Angeles. He had read in those same news Fri it onry the Ati mrs t nanners the advertisements of generous Public l Atli 1 1 1 weeks to about the manner in which the Money thus raised was being wasted and plundered and How feeble our contribution to the Allied cause was even when our troops were tearing Daylight through the supposedly impregnable Hinden Kurg line and the Argonne stronghold. Be it everlastingly to the credit of the Brand of patriotism of the people of the country that they still continued to subscribe to War Loans despite the assurances continually presented to them by the Republican press that their Inone papers the advertisements of generous spirited chaps out and out philanthropists who Only waiting were willing to sell building lots and Oil stocks pm Only waiting that is ail. Of fabulous value for a Mere song.

Old age is part of human life and has its value too Lii Light of War time experience the Democrat which considers its patriotism above politics has adhered to its pledge even though there is no War and the temptation to complain has been great during the present administration. Hie president of the United states represents the unquestioned Choice of the voters of is the head of our government. To revile him is to revile our government which we hold dearer than anything on Earth. That would be downright unpatriotic. The Democrat will criticize policies of it Are All of us careful to ascertain Why the Vendor of opportunities does not take advantage of them himself let him that is without the scar of a sting give vent to the first peal of laughter. I 4 i the Democrat has always been a disciple of Contentment. It maintains that there can be no social or caste discrimination Between the pro sessions of Art science letters statecraft music As compared with the crafts. We have deplored the tendency to create such a caste distinction which has already resulted in Good mechanics becoming scarce while the professions arc becoming overcrowded with the result that the craftsman now makes larger wages than any professional Man All of which does not make for human Contentment.

We consider that the time to oppose a presi Dent on political grounds is not during his term of office but when he appears before the people for reelection for then he becomes merely a politician. There never has been or never will be a president who Lias not been a Noble Type of american and who has been actuated by great patriotic impulses. Their aim was unquestionably to serve the people As Best they knew How. Their errors of policy came from mind not the heart. To try to paint a president As a Knave or a fool is not Only unprincipled but Low Down unpatriotic. The right to honestly criticize his policies should not include the right to bitterly condemn any president. Work with him for Good things and oppose the things you honestly consider harmful and when he comes before you As a politician for reelection it is plenty time and the Only time hat you can effectually end the application of the political policies which Yon consider harm Ful to the nation s welfare by judicious use of the ballot.
