THE Y. M. c. A. HOTEL.-nas-
much as your valued paper imparts
facts as they are seen of conditions
in Chicago, I should like to take a
little of your valued space to write of
a two weeks stay at the Y. NJ. G. A.
hotel Naturally one would suppose
that the heads Of such a place would
at least reflect the love and truth of
God, but my short stay bespeaks the
opposite.
The place itself is a splendid
structure which believe is operated
from a trust fund. But one need stay
only one night to see its apparent
paying qualities. The advertisements
read 30-40-50 cents for rooms, but
should one require a 3O-Cent room he
must go through the formality of
having it o KID by one of the secre-
taTies, who passes upon the appli-
cant's wOrthiness. Can anyone tell
me how he is to sit in judgment to
determine ones wOTthiness.
UsheTs, as the attendants are
called, are personifed in everything
but graciOUsness. Now the main
point is to procure ones mail and
kilograms. Even now, at the expira-
ton Of two weeks, I still have trOU-
BILE. Special deliveries are held back
two and three days. kilograms are
not delivered, and I dare \ say are
opened, as I have occasion to know
in one instance. One does not know
what mail he does not receive. It
would be a wise and profitable move
to station a postal inspector at this
hotel It is high time that the postal
authorities took a hand in the dis
tribUtion of the mail here. Com
plants bring forth no satisfaction,
much less improvement

the employees, who by the way as he

If A. NJ. Johnson tried to live on

States. to enter the league would DO
declare war is taken away from the
congress of the United States and
vested in an international organiza-
ton:
Borah says that the leagues prin-
ciples are contrary to the principle of
the Monroe Doctrine:
Others base their Objection upon the
phrase. "bcWarc OF cntangling al
lances." in Washingtons farewell add
dress.
All Of these objections are fallacious.
the speaker said Power to declare
war is not taken away from congress.
Should n power refuse to submit it's
quarrel to arbitration. the United
States, as a member of the league OF
nations would be in honor bound to
declare war but the declaration would
have to come from congress and might
be refused at the cost of honor. Nor
would American sanction of a world
court for the settlement OF disputes be
a violation of the Monroe Doctrine.
The Monroe Doctrine says merely that
the eastern world shall not subvert
western nations; a league to enforce
peace will seek to prevent any nation
from subverting any otlier.
"As for the third objection" Mr..
Holt said. Il am sure that if Wash
ington were alive today he would not
have opposed American entry into the
world war with its consequent en-
tan Cling Alliances Washington was

COMMITTEE on Purpose"

Summing up the leagues present
purpose Mr.. Holt said: THE League to
Enforce Peace may be described as
an unofficial committee on purpose in
this war just as the National Secur-
ity league is an unofficial committee
on defense"
In conclusion he said, after pointing
out that Great Britain, France and
Germany have all stated n willingness
to join a League to Enforce Peace
leaving American consent the most i'm
portant thing to be won, "A Decla-
ration of Independence by an the ma
tons of the world may be near. Such
a declaration will mark the beginning
OF a new era, when, to quote Victor
Hugo, the only battlefields will be in
the market, open to commerce, and
the mind. open to IDEAS"

Two Uses for Myths.

The Greek philosopher Aristotle said that myths were invented by leg islators ito persuade the many and to be used in support of law" Modern scholars think it more likely that early lawmakers found these myths already prevalent and saw how they could be made an instrument for governing men. Such myths appear to be of two kinds: those which are used to lend weight to authority, and those which have been invented by the weak and oppressed to coax or frighten the strong into treating them more leniently.
