In all cases of heartache, the application
of another mans disappointment draws out
the pain and allays the irritation.-Lytton.
THE TREATY Is AMENDABLE.

AS the situation is shaping it looks just now
as though the senate objections TO the covenant
would center first, on article ten. BY this The
members Of the league undertake to respect and
preserve as against external aggression the ter
ritorial integrity and existing political indie
pendence Of all members Of the league And
il is further provided that in case Of any such
aggression or danger Of such aggression the
council shall advise upon means by which this
obligation shall be fulfilled"
If this article is challenged, as seems
probable it will be on the ground that it might
obligate America 10 wage war IN any part Of
the globe for causes with which the American
people were entirely unsympathetic. 1t might
bind us to assist in what we regarded as wars
oppressive or repressive Of liberty and the
rights of weaker peoples TO autonomy and free
dom. 1T is understood that the administration
will insist on this article it stands; while the
present senate plan appears TO be to add res
ervation to the treaty by which America would
be free to follow her traditional policy Of non
interference in European and Asiatic affairs
and to stand aIoof from foreign territorial or
political disputes
The right of the senate to take this course is
clear. 1t may amend the treaty to any extent,
and up TO 1902, as Senator Lodge points out.
sixty-eight treaties between the United States
and foreign countries have been so amended
1t seems probable, and may be admitted that
the senate would invade the presidential prerog-
ative if it undertook to make a new treaty or to
inject new terms into an article But the SEN
ate has time and again ratified treaties with vi.
tally important reservations which operated to
defeat the clauses which might be construed to
.eopardize American interests. There is moth
ing to limit the reservations that might be
made or their scope and effect. They might
render The present league plan imperative, as
far as our republic is concerned or they might
be such as to leave the league unimpaired in its
essential features to do whatever good it can
and merely protect the integrity and historical
policy OF this nation.

In one of his letters to the CORN
thians, Paul the Apostle discusses the
resurrection of the dead, which was a
| subject of contention at the time OF
/ his writing Having shown that
through the Atonement of Jesus
/ Christ all mankind shall be eventually
redeemed from bodily death, the
scholarly Apostle asks: .Eise what
shall they do which are baptized for
/ the dead, If the dead rise not at all?
Why are they then baptized for the
/ deadw. q Corinthians 1920. As
the question is put by way Of finality
and climax to the preceding argument
end is without explanatory comment,
we must conclude that the subject in
volved no new or strange doctrine;
but to the contrary that the people
both understood and practised the
ordinance of vicarious baptism by the
living in behalf of the dead.
To Nicodemus our Lord declared in
such plaipness as to preclude dis
pute: Except man be born of water
end OF the Spirit, he cannot enter into
. the kingdom Of Cod (Jchn 8 81.
That this new birth comprises water
baptism BY immersion. as was at that
time being administered by John the
Baptist, and the higher baptism of
the Spirit. which Christ Himself came
10 give, is evident from the scripturai
context. Note the incisiveness of our
Lords affirmation that without bap-
tism man cannot enter the Kingdom of
God. No distinction is made, no ex-
ceptions are implied The indispensa-
bic condition Is applicable to all men
whether living or dead
Nicodemus, though scholar and
IA master in Israel, failed to under
stand the full import of our Lords
words, and in seeming bewilderment
asked; "How can man be born when
he 10 oId7 Can he enter the second
time into his mothers womb, and be
born7" Verse A.
With at least equal pertinency it
may now be asked: How can a man
who has died without baptism be hap
tized? Can he enter the second time
into his body of flesh and be i'm
mersed in water? The answer is that
the living may be baptized for the
dead. No one who accepts as a real
ity the Atonement of Jesus Christ in
behalf of all humankind can consist

service. in which one person officiates
in behalf of another. provided of
course that the labor be done by
Divine appointment.

AN IOWA LABOR PARTY.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: At the an
nual convention Of the Iowa State
Federation of Labor in session at
Sioux City, an Iowa labor party is
being advocated. II the workers want
a party, Of course, they can have il.
This being free country they can
have any number of parties.
However, they will be bringing joy
to their enemies, when they agree
upon such action. For reasons which
are not at all simple, the American
labor party has never been a success.
The British labor party on the other
hand, is winning victories and seems
destined to become one Of the two
ruling parties of the country.
But, somehow, we are different.
Perhaps we have not patience, we ex-
pect results and are disappointed and
throw up the sponge, If we do not get
them. The formation of separate
labor party would gain nothing for the
workers. On the other hand II would
lead to dissensions, and in a little
while turn back the clock, say for ten
years.
There seems to be but one school,
and that is the school of experience.
And not the other follows experience.
That profits US very little after ALL
The experience by which we benefit

EIGHTEEN WARS IN PROGRESS.

CONGRESSMAN julius Kahn of California who
will be chairman of the house committee on
military affairs, has been In Paris studying con
ditions and the attitude of entente peoples to-
wards the league. In the course of inform
ing interview had by Mr.. Kahn with Herbert
Hoover it appeared that there were eighteen
regions IN Europe where wars are going on,
which would seem to indicate a certain pessirn-
ism to the ability OF the league to settle local
matters wisely and justly and bring enduring
peace.
The fact is that the European continent and
parts of Asia still heavlng like the ocean after
ia furious storm has passed. In theory the Gov
enant should have the effect Of oil on angry
waters, but it has not worked out that way as
yet and there are Americans who honestly
doubt if it will. A score of races In eastern
Europe, violent passionate, ignorant, actuated
by age-old anmosities and wholly unframed In
self-government find their natural aspirations
and their territorial and economic interests con-
flicting Where their populations overlap and
mingle no ideal adjustment of their rival
claims is possible; and it seems inevitable that
they must heave and rock for some time yet
and fight each other in spite of all that the civil
lied powers can do.
The senate critics of the covenant would SO
amend it by reservations that America might
stand aloof and not be forced to take a part In
these foreign tribal disputes They argue that
our interference would only make matters
worse. Our true and traditional policy, they
insist, is to do our best to keep this hemisphere
pacified and prosperous and use only such
moral influence as we may have in European
affairs, unless the Huns should break out again
when we probably should have another fight
for human freedom on our hands. I'm eastern
European matters we are an outsider in fam
lily quarrel, and interference is proverbially
profitless and unwise.

 Dorothy Hallowel, the daughter of a visionary chemist, obtains employ ment in the offices of firm of Wall street lawyers. The junior partner, Frederick Norman, is an intellectual machine, a slave to ambition, and the dominating influence of the firm. He is engaged for ambitious reasons to Josephine Burroughs, daughter of financial king.
 The new stenographer brings senti- ment into his life, and he struggles against 1t. With cold selfishness he decides to discharge her, but permits her to remain at the entreaty of the head clerk, Tetlow, who loves her. Finding he cannot overcome his love, Norman resolves to possess Dorothy without benefit of clergy" He sends Tetlow out of town, and under pretext of financing her father, installs Dor othy In luxurious quarters and begins his insidious campaign. Tetlow re- turns, and discovers Dorothy going to Normans apartment. In jealous rage, he informs the Burroughs fam fly, who come upon Norman just as he has seized Dorothy in passionate embrace

William Farnum in
 "The Man Hunter"

The Alcazar theatre announces that it will have another splendid William Farnum de luxe produc- tion to offer Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, The play is called "The Man Hunter" and was writ ten for Mr. Farnum by his direc- tor, Frank Lloyd, whose genius put on celluloid such photoplays as Les Miserables," "A Tale of Two Cities" When Man Sees Red,' Riders of the Purple Sage ana "The Rainbow Trail"
 This photoplay has scenes on land and sea. It is certainly thriller and gives Mir Farnum ex- ceptional opportunity to show his fine dramatic ability. It is case of from riches to poverty and back to riches again. with many stir ring incidents in the decline and fall and the comeback" This pie ture is awaited with peculiar in- terest because not only has MT. Farnum never made poor picture but his pictures are always big, always satisfying.
 This is another de luxe produc-
