THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
From the April Sunset:

From the April Sunset:
The three principal objections to the
participation Of the United States in
the proposed League of Nations ap-
parently are these:
The Paris constitution conflicts with
and supersedes the constitution of the
United States.
The Executive Council of nine, the
real business end Of the League on
which the United States has but one
vote, will be able to order Uncle Sam
about at will.
The United States will be forever
entangled in, European, African and
Asiatic feuds and yet will be obliged
with it's own hands to strangle the
Monroe Doctrine.
Are these really valid objections :?
Take look ut the good old long
suffering constitution Of these United
States md observe what happened to
II in the last two years-without the
League Of Nations. The Espionage
and Sedition Acts-war measures-as
distinctly Violate in spirit and the let
ter Of the constitution as would an
act to impose . tax Of ten dollars on
every red bead. Yet they were passed
and enforced because majority Of US
wanted them passed and enforced. II
Q majority Of rs, after due delibera-
ton, wants to enter League Of Ma
tions to save us from the necessity Of
more espionage and sedition legisla-
ton, the constitution surely can stand
the additional strain.
It il true that the United States has
only one vote on the Executive Coun-
ell Of nine, but is it true that. the rep
resentatives Of any eight. sixteen or
twenty four nations can order Uncle
Sam about or will try so to do. The
gent in the striped pants il the mod
ern combination Of Hercules and Mi
das. He has in his hsnd most Of the
worlds steel, gold, copper. cotton and
food. He is now and will be for gen.
erations to come-until Russia finds
her stride-the powerfullest power on
earth. II can't be done. He just
won't stand for being ordered around.
And if the little fellows on the Exec
utive Council get nasty. Uncle Sam
can always take his hat, withdraw
from the League and 70 home. II
any other power or combination Of
powers tried to follow him with club,
tbJt power or combination Of powers
would most surely be stabbed in the
baSk by . few Of It's loving friends
and near neighbors.
Without the United States the Lea
gue Of Nations has no chance at all
and tire United States IL strong enou-

SOCIALISM THE FRIEND
(By James Brandon)

10Y 00IIIcb DIouuUuy
It is much easier when difficult
problem presents itself to say, let the
state solve it, than to solve It your
self. Socialism appeals to the slovenly
thinker who theories about it just
the same as it does to the incompet-
ent worker who wants q state to take
care of him, because he wants to get
rid Of %he responsibility Of doing it
himself.
I have contended for years that the
authoritarian nature Of socialism
would manifest itself the first time
the socialists had IN opportunity,
and sure enough it came. In Ger
many the socialist party, just before
the war, voted for the great war bud
get which made it possible for the
kaiser to go to war. No one knew
better than they that there was moth
ing to fear from the poor corrupt
Russian empire which had not recov-
cred from the Japanese war. And
they knew there was no danger of
invasion from the West They voted
for an aggressive war, thus lining
themselves up with imperialism, the
worst form Of authority.
, When America entered the war af-
ter three years Of imperialistic ag-
gression against smaller and more lib
eral states, the socialists here took
an attitude against the war by vote
Of ten to one. In Germany they vot-
ed for invasive warfare, in America
they voted against defensive warfare.
This friendship for authority and
autocracy so glaringly shown in both
instances must forever stamp them as
enemies of freedom.

CHAPTER LXXXII.

When I had reached my room I
stood before tbs dressing table L
wiped the tears from my eyes, took
a book and sat down to read. 1 would
not obey him and go to bed, altho
really was tired No Leola had defed
him and he had worshiped her. l,
too, would defy him as far as dared
now. Perhaps the time would come
when 1 would dare as much as had
Leola. And then he would worship
me.
I read in a desultory way until my
attention was attracted by this para

power of merging themselves in an
other, and when the other is'gone the
power of loving is gone, too. One IS
then compelled to live in the memory
of past happiness happiness that L

son in the story to whom the ore
quoted was talking.
read and re-read the paragraph:
When the other is gone the power
of loving is gone, too. One is com
PEELED to hive in the memory of past
happiness. :
Was this true of Everett? Had his
soul been so merged with the soul of
Leola that when, she had gone his
power of loving had gone also?
1 felt that perhaps at last 1 had
found a solution of Everett's seeming
Indifference to me, He had lost the
power of loving when he lost his hap
piness-Leola.
But if this were so, 1 had no reason
to fear another woman; and 1 did
fear Irma Barton. Even if he were
not in love with her, Everett had no
right to be with her, entertaining or
being entertained, while I sat alone
with no company but books. Often,
too, when we were alone he was tired
from the labors of the day-or so
said. I always felt irritated when this
was so, because of my knowledge OF
his powers of fascinating others with
his conversation when he chose.

recalled what Everett had said about

moment. My only feeling was one of
delight that he! had remembered 1ne,

altho l had spoken glibly, 1 had a feel

had seen that day when he lifted me
from the dusty road after our aeci-

I does not approve of my dancing in

The Republican majority in the
United States senate seems unable to
function effectively. The vote cast by
Senator Curtis for the johnson
Amendment indicates plainly that OPP
position to ratification of the treaty as
it stands is a party action. He keeps
in too close touch with the sentiment
of Kansas people to have voted as he
did il he had felt that he was endan-
gering the treaty. When it comes to
a question of ratifying or rejecting the
treaty, it may confidently be expected
that both Curtis and Capper will vote
for ratification.
