Are Women Honest?

A friend has sent us pamph let, entitled Are Women Hon. 'est?" The purpose of the doc ument and what it is about we do not know and we shall not know, as it was immediately thrown away. Any writing that seeks our attention with such a question is not pursued
 Of course women are honest, and under the most trying temp tations. Even if they were not more inherently hones, than men their religion would cause them to be honest in most cases. Women take their religion seri- ously, as they should. They be- lieve in future rewards and pun iShmentS to greater extent than do men. They are more sentimental, and sentimentality

PRESIDENT WILSON'S RETURN

President Wilson returns from France to the most critical task of hls public career. That task Is the rehabilitation of his politi- Cal leadership, with all that it limplies.
 As Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States the President has con 6Gcted a brilliantly successful war. whatever his critics and de tractors may say. The Uredit be longs to him and his Administra- ton as completely as the blame would have rested upon them had German arms been triumph> ant or the conflict had ended in a stalemate.
 As Chief Executive Of the Ma ton the President has partici- pated in the framing of a peace to insure to mankind the fruits of the victory over militarism and autoc ~acy. It is not per. feet by any means, and left to it self the treaty. by the very se- verety of it's provisions. contains the seeds of another great war What saves it, what guarantees sane and reasonable interpre tation in accordance with the needs of justice, is the League of ! Nations. which is the instrument by which the peace is to be exc cuted and the tribunal through which it is to be construed and applied.
 In Paris President Wilson has been obliged to grapple with all the clements of political reac tion in Europe reinforced by all the elements of political reaction in the United States. Most of the objectionable clauses Of the treaty would never have been written into it had it not been for.the bitter attacks upon the President at home, which de- prived him of the moral support of a united public opinion at a time when such support was i'm perative to peace that repre- sented the highest ideals of the American people. Regardless of that opposition the President succeeded in making the League of Nations the very foundation ot peace, and that was the distinc. tive achievement of the confer. ence.
 But peace is not peace so far as the United States is concern ed until the treaty has been rati fled by two thirds of the Sena tors present." nor is the cove nant of the League of Nations any thing more valuable than an engaging and hopeful prospectus until the official approval of the Senate has been gained.
 The Republican leaders of the Senate have been engaged for months in making peace an issue between themselves and Presi- dent Wilson. It now devOlves upon the President to make it an issue between the Repu blican leaders of the Senate and the American people.
 Nobody would deny that the President influence has been greatly weakened by his absence from the seat of Government. That was inevitable. The absent are always wrong. as the French say, and an absent President is doubly to blame for anything that goes amiss. There can be

leaders of the Senate and the American people.
 Nobody would deny that the Presidents influence has been greatly weakened by his absence from the seat of Government. That was inevitable. The absent are always wrong. as the French say, and an absent President is doubly to blame for anything that goes amlss. There can be no doubt that the sentiment of the people is overwhelmingly in favor of the treaty and the League of Nations; but that sen timent is yet to be fully mobilized and brought into definite action. It is like an army that has not yet been organized. and the bus mess of organization belongs to the President himself. Upon his success or hls failure rests the fate of everything that he has accomplished in Paris and hopes to be the agent of accomplish ment in bringing international relations from under a reign of anarchy into a realm of reason and law.
 But the treaty is only one of the issues involved in the broad CT question of leadership. While Mr. Wilson has been away. lead ership in Government has ceased. Those who hoped that Republi- can Congress would grapple in telligently with the complicated proplems of reconstruction have

We were astounded today to learn
that President Wilson will likely seek
a third term, running on the republi-
can ticket, while Senator Borah will
run with him for the vice presidency.
1t seems they have the political situa-
ton so well in hand that they cannot
lose.
Russia, that country of uncertainties
and strife has declared peace, abso-
Lutte peace, if they have to fight for it,
while the Huns have brought William
back and again established him as
their emperor, and the armistice is off.
Allied armies move on the Rhine and
the war is on again.
But to cap the climax it is reported
that under cover of darkness last
night the japanese fleet landed mil
lion men and equipment on the Next
can coast and will march on Washing
ton. 1t is claimed the Japanese have
mastered the mysteries of science to
such an extent that they can annihi-
late great cities with wireless waves
which turn the furies of the elements
upon designated sections.
The most astounding revelation of
all is the announcement that the
prices of food have returned to normal
and the public service corporations
are giving perfect service.
Greater revelations are coming in
every minute and by tomorrow we ex-
pect to be able to announce that Billy
Sunday has left the United States be-
cause the country has gone bone dry,
and will not return until April first.

Paris, Mar. 31.-The possibility of

that these are just, legitimate, and alb

in order to assure the security of the

until the war indemnity is paid.

was finally chosen.
Colonel Roosevelt's refusal to accept
the honor caused a goodnatured near
riot in the convention, and the dele

hour before he prevailed. Captain Jack

the convention by assuring the audi
