Certainly the prospect is al
turing. Must it be supposed
that the genius which taught
the Western World the arts is

East before the nations to
which he was making his ap-
peal were established. But

desired without at the same
time opening up difficulties in
other parts of the world and
perhaps for ourselves. There
are innumerable interests to be
reconciled; all sorts of COM
plexities to be avoided. News
from Paris makes this plain.
By the nature of things the
league constitution must be
general in character. Should
its provisions be made too spe-
cific. embodying too many re-
strictions upon those in author
ity, this very sort of an ar
rangement might later arise to
it from accomplishing the mis-
it fro accomplishing the mis-
sion for which it is being
formed.
In private business the best
interests of a corporation are
served not by hair splitting
definitions of duty for the di-
rectors but rather in seeing
that the control of the direct Ii
ing board is in proper hands. II
A good directorate will sue
ceed if given power to act; put |
the wrong men in charge and
the results will be disappoint- t
ing let the rules be what they e
may. The truth of this will be d
recognized. Ii
If the same principle applies i
70 an International league, as r
nay prove the case, then our E
,hief interest will center not in F
he technical wording of the y
eague covenant but in the u
question as to what nations 8
hall direct the policies of the
eague in times of stress or
when mooted questions are be-
ng settled. If for instance the
United States is going to be the
most influential member of the
eague and in position to shape
policies according to its wishes
We need not worry if the cove
lant does not specifically pro-
ride for every imaginable con-
ingency. We can leave some
hing to common sense.
If the United States and
,ther nations in sympathy with
,ur policies are to direct the
eague it will be good thing
and we may safely join. If
,uch nations are not to be in
he saddle we will be taking
chances, no matter what the
eague constitution may say.

A NEW ARABIAN CALL

"a picturesque figure at the
A Peace Conference is the
Arabian Prince Faisal,
and a romantic plea is that
made by him on behalf of his
father, the Sultan of Hedjaz,
for the self-determination of
the 100000 Arabs, says the
New York World.
Is the twentieth century to
witness a peaceful revival of
the old caliphate which once
dominated the East and came
near dominating Europe?
Will the great powers of Eu-
rope sanction the recreation of
the shattered Arab nation be-
tween the Red Sea and India?
The part of the proposal which
contemplates the appointment
of the United States as trustee
of the rehabilitated nation. to
teach it the modern industrial
arts and develop its railroads
and electric-pQwer plants is
certain to whet interest here.
The Sultan of Hedjaz who
inspires this dream of Arab re-
generation rules the region
which includes the sacred cities
of Mecca and Medina, "the
land of pilgrimage" as the
name means. His services to
the allies in combating the
Turks deserve recognition, but
is it to be granted in this
large measure and inevitably

Horses Worth Less.

Horses are to be assessed at a lower
figure this year than in 1918, County
Assessor C. P. Strain said today. The
reason for the lower rate is that
horseflesh Is worth considerably less
ON the market since the army demand
has decreased so materially. II Is also
probable that sheep will go down in
assessed valuation, although that is

Interesting Program Planned.

Mrs. Mary l.. Beecher. chairman, has
planned an interesting program for the
current topics class Of the Nineteenth
Century club this season. one of the
first Of these will be on THE Ups and
Downs of Mexico" Under some equally
interesting subtitles the history Of Mex
leo in the past few years will be de-
veloped, and discussed.
Mrs. Beecher is one of the most re-
markable women in Memphis. She was
n charter member of the Nineteenth
Century club, which vas organized %
wears ago, serving for many years as
head OF the department of literature,
and has for the past II years served
as chairman of the current topics class.
She is one Of the few who have kept
abreast Of the times and Is thoroughly
modern In her views. She was one Of
the first Memphis women boldly to de-
clare herself in favor of woman's suf-
frage and though having only recently
been quite Ill, did not fail to register
and will vote In the coming election,
In which she Is taking much interest.
Mrs. Beecher is one of the humorists
OF the club and her little speeches are
always enjoyed for the clever way in
