From Every State In The Union.

braces greater diameter thln their
physical height, are needed for con-
structive service during the score of
years INN ediateiy at the threshold
of Time, says Paul Scott Garnes, writ
ing for Worlds Work. Events in
Congress previous to and through
out the war have emphasized the
need in a significant manner. Again
only a few weeks ago third Of
hundred nosing politicians with no
bone for immediate picking before
them, did defiantly declare themsel-
YES, without apparent reason or Of
fetal knowledge of Americas inter-
ests, and in childish spitefulness did
presume to embroil our higher coun-
Gil in undignified controversy and
with much noise attempted disorderiy
action on clanGestine paper Of alb
solute harmlessness, using it merely
as pretext to play, through the
press to their constituents back
home" and make believe their selec
ted servants were in reality stalwart
Simpsons, sure enough ON the job,
while at this same time they might
have been studying conditions imme-
diate1y under their beaks, with profit
to themselves individually and the
country at large.
1t was at this same time Ameri-
can voters were re-awakened to the
fact that what is needed for leaders
are MEN-not mere politicians, but
REAL AMERICAN MEN, who will
| go to Washington, do less politickin'
wrangling and l.raying, and give for
service deeper thinking, more con-
structive legislation, energizjng with
righteous activity, and diligently in
telligent praying.
1t is not our purpose to eulogize
individuals, bu. a few have stood
out from the knti-Administration
! ranks during the past eighteen mon
tbs in hoch manner and under such
partisan condemnation as to demon
| strate to the thoughtful American
their fitness for permanent sercice.
These need no euIogy of more words
for they hace their conscious re-
ward instantly. ~
Just now the American Voter is
in the Gethsemanic garden and wants
no betrayal of major principles for
the sake of pusillanimous politics of
this. party or that, neither because of
vague notions of one creedaF or
many doctrines, nor private inter-
ests of single individual or sew
eral.
| And here again is shown the need
of MEN-Men who have the kind OF
Light that came from the burning
bush which was never consumed;
Men with a wildly intelligent con-
ception of what is offered America at
this time-the leadership of the
morals of the international World,
and who, pray tell us, is mere fitting
ly able to shoulder this cross of SER
vice to mankind than America, OH
whose shores Founding Freedom was
f, first literally made fast?
| That same Spirit that founded
America may be made a lump to
light the feet Of nations now in their
infancy and yet unborn if we NOW
show to national worlds that we are
capable of stepping UP from a little,
insignificant, internal factional fight
long enough to prove to the penitent,
/ the purposeful, our own posterity and
the hopeful everywhere, that we are
really unselfish, 6utifully self-sacri-
ers to the glory of God along definite
and unified lines of decisive strength.
Undoubtedly Time will develop
many inadequacies in the League OF
Nations for the Association is at the
embryonic stage in its caducean per-
iod, but in the self-same sphere from
where Deceit fell out Love and Truth
have been lifted aloft; thus, TO visi-
ons undimmed they shall beacon you
ever
| And the League of Nations is a
Master-code, having it's life and its
| justification in the hearts and hands
of the Principal Allies and Associated
Powers. Thus a Master-power for
Righteousness has been Created, and
the way to begin to GROW is to COM
MENCE! ~
Our sincere readers, of two-score
years or more, recall how it took
their boyhood debating society a
whole school term to provide an in
complete set of bylaws to cover all
the various exigencies which presen-
ted themselves, and they will remem-
, Der that just previous to that it took
Moses more than third of century,
to lead some hayward children where
they should have gone gleefully like
Americans, of their own accord, but
bless your heart, the new America Of
today does things-has in fact done
them-she can lead the whole earth
into Freedoms Light and Truth s
Peace in seven and thirty years. Yes,
it's big job, but with stout hearts,
broad minds, and a willingness to
make adequate sacrifices Let us Mea
sure up to the fRIVILEDGE!
We confidently believe that the
Powers that Be have labored studi-
ously, intelligently, diligently, and
having struggled nightly with the
many complex problems of such a
mammoth undertaking, have evolved
the best system possible at the pres
ent time. Nothing better has been
| offered nor can be offered than the
League of Nations, and it SHALL be
adopted without mutilation, to the
Glory of God and honor of America
and her Allies, in the same self-sac-
