LEST WE FORGET
BY WILLIAM H. BAwDEN
a LEAGUE.

1t is important to remember, lest
the dust of political craftsmanship shall
blind us. that what the American
public has before it at the present
time is the draft for a league OF ma
lions. and not the final draft for the
League of Nations. 1t is well thai we
have something fairly definite to talk
bout: but we should be careful In
our discussion to distinguish between
the general idea of a league, as ut
lined, and the League it self,as 1t may
finally be. The former should not
be condemned offhand simply be-
cause we do not like the presentment
thereof. 1t is absurd. for instance,
for a number of senators to say that
they will not ratify any draft for the
proposed League, simply because they
cannot accept in all its details the
tentative draft: because many of them
have already given public assent to
the general idea. 4.
About the general idea of a league
there are some things worth recalling.
When the treaty of peace is finally
signed, what kind of a peace; that is,
after the terms have been agreed Up
! on, the nations will be permitted to
&C. each its own individual way, with
fout any provision whatever for the
future, the peace of the world there
after depending upon the general
goodwill of all the nations for each
other, then and in all the future. In
other words. it will be a chance peace
it may be, and again it may not be:
and glancing Owe the pages of his
tory, 1t very likely will not be.
Or, in the second place, it MAY be
an armed peace. That means that
each nation will continue its present
burden of armament, increasing its
military n naval strength as 1t sees
a neighboring nation doing the same.
Very likely the nations will group
themselves in alliances, in order to
preserve the balance of power. In
other words, we shall repeat exactly
what we have had for the past half
century and more. and militarism
will be in the saddle.
Or it may be a determined peace.
Instead of trusting to chance, instead
of depending on alliances of armed
nations in groups. both of which
methods have wofully failed in the
past, all the nations acting together
will determine that they will have
peace, because all will agree to stand
together against the offender and ag-
gresSor. That sounds feasible, and at
least la the merits of never having
been tried out, and Is exactly the aim
of the proposed League. Now IL the
present draft for a league does not
meet with favor, let's ave another
draft until we find one that meets
with general approval. But by all
means, let us finally have the League.

STILL FLoGGING STUDENTS.
Old Practice Kept Up in British Colleges,
Even High-Ciass Institutions.

London, July % Correspondence of
the Associated Press The old custom
of fogging students is still in vogue in
British colleges, whose students are as
old as the average American college man.
The custom is most followed in the high
err class institutions, so that TO have
been logged at school or college is said
to be the mark of an aristocrat.
At Cheltenham college the students
hazed Barnwell, the former tender of the
college baths, because he had deserted
the baths for higher wages in an aircraft
factory. They bombarded Barnwelfs
house with bricks. Thereupon Barnwelrs
workmates, with several hundred of the
populaee, marched to the college and told
their story to the principal, Archdescon
Waterfeld II was agreed that the stu
dents should pay damages and be logged
by the archdeacon. This was satisfactory
to all concerned, including the students.
Because of the number to undergo cas-
tigation, lots were drawn so that one
out of 10 of the student body should get
the whip. This also was satisfactory to
the students. But this sporting spirit
so impressed the bathkeepers faction
that they proposed that both sides shake
hands and call it off, which was done
with mutual regrets and compliments.

A Vermont Grinstone.

Our old big grinstone used to stand
Inside the sleigh and wagon shed,
The jack and workbench close at hand,
The tackle blocks jest overhead;
1t had a special blueeyed grit
That took right hold of standard steel,
/ never saw it finch bit
That wondrous argillitic wheel
They hauled it up from Boston back
In teaming times, so grandpa said,
While yet the Fitchburg railroad track
Was sleeping in its ORGY bed;
The neighbors liked that stone so much
1t made us boys untimely stern,
For not a-one but old man Hutch
Would ever bring hand to turn.
But worse than that, as you'll agree,
Was when that grinstone's form was
towed
Outdoors beneath the Harvey tree
That grew tarnation near the road
Each haying brought the move about
When home we, come from school,
twas there
The sap tub with the goosequill spout
Had also found the summer air.
Ten thousand scythes I'm sure we ground
Within the next six weeks or so;
One million times that stone went round,
And me the horse that made it go;
A cradle knife was worst of all
You didn't have no horsepower left
Five inches wide and five feet tall,
And add to that the grinders heft.
But what jest made the world look
brown,
Was turning there when folks went
by;
Your backsides bobbing up and down,
Now towards the earth, now towards
the sky;
Each time, BY George! we went to grind
The city boarder girls knew,
Would happen down the road and find
My shape a-writhing fro and to,
I'd see EN- up the road mile,
Delightful lassies every one;
But, Shucks | couldn't bow or smile
As past they went a-full of fun;
I'd jest pull down my old straw hat,
And turn my face the other way,
Perhaps they'd think twas Foolish Nat
That always used to help us hay,
To keep the boys at home my code
Is this: All grinstones out of sight;
Don't set no grinstones next the road
Unless you want to grind at night;
Don't giant your Harveys round your
door
A fruit no boy on earth can spurn--
1t takes one hand to hold the core
And leaves him only one to turn

Civilization at the Cross Roads.

Civilization is at the cross roads. It
is fighting for its life against foes with
out and foes within. Absolutism nursed
the mad purpose to rule and exploit the
world by militarism. This foe has been
put down at terrific cost. Taking advan.
tage of the resulting chaos, anarohism
and communism declare that the hour of
social revolution has struck
Fortunately the organized common
sense of MANKIND stands entrenched and
prepared against this. Between the ex-
tremes of absolutism and anarchism Is
democratic republicanism which repre-
sents the common sense of mankind and
embodies those principles which Aristotle
1000 years ago extolled as the best form
of government attainable in world of
finite, hayward men,
In the whole realm of thought there is
not a more striking envisioning of the
future than this of Aristotle. In his day
there were few examples of democratic
republicanism. Nor was any promise Of
it given in the Dark Ages of medieval
ism, nor in the modern period of nation
making.
The first democratic republic, and the
mightiest one, was founded less than $50
years ago Yet in this short time it has
become the beacon light of history and
has proved its superiority to all other
forms of political organization. 1t is to-
day the ideal of the South American
countries, Of Italy, of France. of Scandi.
navia, of Switzerland, and it will yet
become the ideal of Germany and Russia.
To democratic republicanism the PEG.
Piles Of the earth look to day to save and
conserve the priceless achievements Of
civilization. 1t is the result of costly
historic process, and those who plot to
destroy it know not what they do. They
are plotting to discard the fruits of civ.
ilization and they are jeopardizing the
highest hopes and aspirations of men.
Democratic republicanism is the hope
of the world. We have this in the Unit
ed States. 1t is entrusted to our wisdom
and our loyalty. We must prove worthy
of its pricelessness and loyal to its
spirit and possibilities. - Minneapolis

NELcHINA-sUsIrNA REGION, ALAS.
Report by the United States Geological
Survey.

The region about the headwaters of
Copper, Matanuska, and Susitna rivers
in southern Alaska, though more accessi-
BILE than many parts of Alaska that are
much better known, had not been fully
covered by the government surveys until
a few years ago, when party from the
United States geological survey, depart
ment of the interior, examined and
mapped the unsurveyed areas in that re-
gion. There has been but little produc.
tive mining in that region, end its geol-
ogy does not encourage the hope that
much placer gold will be found there, but
gold lodes may yet be discovered at some
places. The region will be made accessi.
BILE by the government railroad to the
Matanuska coal field, and it's systematic
prospecting for gold placers or lodes
may perhaps be warranted
A report on the region. by Theodore
Chaplin, geologist, has just been pub
lished by the United States geological
survey as bulletin 66S, under the title,

All Export Records Broken.

A remarkable jump in exports during
June brought the total for the fiscal
year 1919 to more than seven billion dol
lars, a new record, according TO a state
ment issued to-day by the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce, department
of commerce
The June exports are put at S9ls,-
100000, which exceeds the previous high
record, established in April OF this year,
by more than $200O00,0O0 The exports
for June Of last year were valued at
S4s4 100000. Total exports for the fiscal
year stand at 1925, 100000, as compared
with s5,02O,OO0,000 for the fiscal year
1918. This is more than three times the
exports for 1914, the last normal year
Exports since the armistice was signed
in November are estimated at about So
100000. The excess Of exports over i'm
ports for the fiscal year 1910 was "a ,l29,-
100000 against SO ,O0O,OO0.0O0 the pre-.
yious year and less than 100000 in

VIRGIN ISLANDS DEVELOPING.
There Has Been Marked Change Since
United States Took Them.

st. Thomas, Virgin Islands, July 81
Correspondence of the Associated Press
These islands have been materially de-
veloped in some ways since they were
purchased by the United States from
Denmark less than two years ago. Now
that peace has come the islanders are
looking forward with great hopes of fur
Their developments in the future espe
cially with regard to the harbor of St.
Thomas.
The islands are under the control of
the navy department and the admins
tration of the naval officers and their re-
lations with the local legislature, called
the Colonial Council, have won the
friendship of the inhabitants. The rev.
enues of the islands are not sufficient to
meet their requirements and the navy
department has appropriated annually
100000 for public works and the gen
eral upkeep OF affairs. Coupled with the
frequent visits of American men-of war
and the spending of much money by the
forces stationed on the islands, the naval
authorities have endeavoTed to give aid
jim every way.
Natives fill public positions where pos
sible and many are studying and pre-
pairing for any other opportunities that
may offer. The hospitals have been i'm
proved and remodeled by officers of the
navy medical corps and the American
Red Cross has provided furniture and
fixtures. Young native girls are being
trained as nurses A start has been
H. ;,, II ,,rnfaessnna -
pupils Of the public schools. Better sani-
tary conditions and proper water sup
ply are being furnished,
The present governor, Admiral w.
Oman, has held receptions which all
classes have attended. The people have
American soda fountains and restaurants
and the national game of baseball has
supplanted the English game of cricket.
There are three bands composed solely of
natyes. Wartime prohibition is in
force.
Generally the islanders are showing a
lively interest in American ideas and GUS
toms. Evidence of this is the enthusiasts
tic celebration of such national holidays
as Decoration day and Independence day
when the people join with the authorities
i'm patriotic exercises such as saluting the
flag, parades and other celebrations UNI
known here before.
The same laws and methods of govern
ing the islands as under the Danish re-
gime still exist. Lack of change in this
respect is attributed to the war There
rs some dissatisfaction and agitation
among local political aspirants, who
want American laws and customs to be
extended to the islands. More conserva-
tive men do not share in this agitation
but trust that the necessary change will
be made in time, when Congress has de-
cided what form of government the
islands shall have.
