LEAGUE DOESN'T SATISFY

Washington, April 15.- Senator
Borah, of Idaho, Republican, upon his
return tonight from ten days. speak
ing trip in opposition to the proposed
league Of nations, announced that his
objections to the league constitution
had not been removed by the amend
ments recently adopted, and that he
still would oppose it.
Senator Borah, in . statement, said
he was opposed to the covenant even
as amended, because it would commit
the United States to alliances with
European and Asiatic powers and
oblige this country to take part in the
conflicts and turmoils Of Europe;
would compel the United States to
assume the obligation Of guaranteeing
the territorial integrity and political
independence of all nations; leave the
entire machinery of the. league in
European and Asiatic powers; con-
tains Intellectual provisions for dis
armament; contains inappropriate and
wholly inadequate safeguards for the
Monroe doctrine; fails TO provide any
machinery for the application Of the
principle Of self-determinatiOn Of ma
tions, and fails to provide any check |
or control over the five or nine men
within whose unlimited and underlined
discretion rests the question Of peace
or war;"
"These are some of the things" the
senator said, (which seem still to in
here in the proposed league, and this
being SO, / could not, and would not,
support it. Indeed, I think the real
issue is now formed and the real con-
test begins"

REPUBLICAN PLANS
FOR 1920 CAMPAIGN

William Hays, Chairman Of the Re-
publican National Committee, has re-
Gently been in Washington trying to
settle party differences with view to
harmony in the 1920 campaign. It is
said that Mr.. Hays is endeavoring to
enlarge the Republican steering COM
mittee In order 10 include the labor
and farming interests. Above all Mr..
Hays aim IL said to be toward party
solidarity in 1920.
Republican leaders do not seem to
be disturbed by the evident Demo
cratic intention to make the League
Of Nations an issue in 1920. Mr.. Taft's
warm support for the league and the
stand taken by Mr.. Wickersham and
Mr.. Root viii, the Republicans claim,
show their party TO have been as
heartily in favor Of the League as the
Democtats, whose ranks include Q
number Of prominent opponents Of the
League.
The Republicans will also claim to
have been the real war party in thil
country despite the fact that the De-
were in power. It was the
Republican party, they will say, which
held out strenuOusly for q vigorous
prosecution Of the war and the en-
largement Of the army, and they are
proud Of their insistence that the
suggested by Mr.. Lodge,
Mr.. Root and Mr.. Knox regarding the
Monroe Doctrine and other matters
should be inserted in the Constitution
Of the League Of Nations.

Gathering tho Fruits of Bolshcvism

n MERlCA, with fatuousness born OF its
isolation and detachment from European
countries where the bomb and the dagger
nave been the symbols of dissatisfaction with
organized government, has blindly boastcd
that anarchy, nihilism and their modern
equivalent, Bolshevism, could find no footing
on its shores--that it's people too pros
porous, happy and contented to prove fertile
ground Tor the noxious seeds OF such destruc-
tiveness. News of the past twenty-four hours
is sufficient to shake this country rudey from
its self-complacency. 1t is calculated TO
arouse it to realization that in this great
melting pot Of the nations there are elements
that have failed to yield to the generous heat
or the national crucible, elements that know
no law, and whose only purpose in life is to
bring on 1t the fate that has overtaken
Russia, is sweeping other countries and leav-
ing red ruin In its wake.
1t is too early to know whose hand formed
those murderous bombs and mailed them to
many leaders of the nations life. They may
have been the work of one mind, or and that
is more likely, they are the danger signal
that organized Bolshevism has followed up
It's campaign Of ropaganda i'll America and
is beginning to translate its tenets into
bloody deeds. 1t also is too early to know
whether or not all the bombs have been
found, or whether even now some one is not
undong the wrappngs which will mean
terrible injury or death. But, whatever flu
ture revelations may bring forth, it is not
too early to know that there was cold blooded
murder in the heart and mind that conceived
and executed the plot.
The assassins aimed high. They would
have sent their missiles Of death to invade
the ranks Of the Supreme Court the Cabinet
the Congress, and to lay low other national
figures who typfy the forces of law and
order as opposed to those Of anarchy and
political chaos. That the plot failed in great
measure, due only to an error Of ignorance,
does not detract from the enormity of the
crime. OF course, the Department of Jus
tice and all local authorities will devote their
energies TO tracing down and furnishing the
perpetrators OF the deed But even il they
be found and perchance exterminated, the
lesson TO the nation is clear. If, as is sus-
pected, organized forces are back of the
movement, others equally murderous will
take their places and carry on the work. 1t
is sign that from this time forth eternal
vigilance is TO be the price OF safety that
those human elements on whose absence
America has prded itself at last are here
in sufficient force to present real and grow
ing danger, and must be dealt with mercf-
lessly. 1t is largely heritage of the war,
and in common with all civilized countries,
America must act promptly and efficiently
if it is 10 be stamped out.

BETTER PAY FOR TEACHERS.
BY FRANK ANDREWS FALL. Lit. ID,
Dursurof New York University.

Where are the teachers of yestcr-
year! They appear to havc moved to
grcener pastures and no one who is
familiar with the somber details or ed
ucational pay rolls can blame them for
SO doing. For there Is no denying the
fact that in spite OF all that has been
done to aneliorite the condition of the
pedagoS ue. teaching still remains the
poorest paid OF all the honorable pro-
LESSONS.
Time was when the American teacher
conSoled himself with the thought that
although he could not hope to be rich,
or oven well-to-do. there were other
ompensations. and on the strictly
financial basis his condition compared
favorubiy with that of many of his
fellow workers, such as laborers and
mechanics. But today IL is scarcely ac-
curate to speak of ''laborers and me
chanics There arc only mechanics.
ana get from two to five times as much
pay as the average school-teacher.
Is 1t TO be wondered at, the exodus
on on men zen and ana women from the ranks OF
the 1he,s teachers &c ,Sa Not if one knows the
eighth wonder of the world that there
are still capable teachers willing TO
serve Tor the beSSarly pittance that is
handed to them In lieu OF living

feet that the nation which employs
the best teachers with the highest pay
and as part of the best school system
VIII be the best governed and there

Terror teaching forces can be secured
where in ferior pay is offered"
Education in America faces two
grave dangers as direct results OF this
tradition OF underpay for teachers.
one. the more remote Of the two. is
the complete failure Of the crop OF ncyv
teachers. The other, whose threaten
ing possibilitic scan scarcely be over-

standards through lack OF keen COM

stance of this is furnished nv thc rc
port of the board of education OF n
well known Pennsylvania city: our
teachers are growing careless and in

dismiss them we shall be uanDlc to
