was a time when clothes made the

for himself from a financial stand
point, but makes himself ridiculous
in the eyes of his fellows. The clerk

Perhaps nothing in the framing of
the League of Nations has SO SER
iously disturbed those who are honest
ly endeavoring to reach a proper con-
clusion regarding the document as the
apparent indifference of those at the
peace table to the suggestions of ex-
President Taft and ex-Secretary of
State Root. Both these big Americans
submitted amendments which mo,
with immediate favor at Paris and
in the United States. The ignoring Of
the changes proposed in the original
draft of the treaty and League Of
Nations by two of the most able men
of the country has caused resentment
in some quarters and honest doubt as
to the fact in others.

Red Tape and Food Bargain
ing

LFrom the Philadelphia Ledger.l
1t is unfortunate that not only
Philadelphia but other cities cannot
take advantage of the bargain food
supplies offered by the War Depart
ment, owing to the red tape which
surrounds the purchasing of supplies
for municipal institutions. 1t is also
unfortunate that we have no peace
time food administration that might
be able to secure a large part of
these surplus supplies of the United
States Government and handle them
in a way that would benefit the COM
munity and the average consumer.

A Demolished Argument

[From the New York Herald
The fact seems to have escaped
those fervid partisans who are
hurting epithets at critics of the
covenant of the League of Nations,
but nevertheless it is fact that the
announcement of resumption of
business with Germany completely
destroys the partisan contention that

treaty until they can be sure of
what it means Senators are reopen
Ing war or delaying the arrival of
peace.

Several of the candidates already

else in recent years.
