A Prediction on the Treaty.


Millions of words remain to be
spoken by President Wilson on
his proposed tour and by senat-
ors before the peace treaty is
finally acted upon. Weeks will
pass, and tremendous efforts will
be made throughout the hot,
muggy summer to shape develop
ment in this or that. Finally,
when everyone has had his say
and now we come to the predic-
ton the senate will ratify the
treaty with reservations or inter-
pretations about as suggested by
former President Taft.
Then, when the dust has SUBJ
sided, we shall find that we are
in the League of Nations, but
that the league cannot interfere
with matters like the tariff or
immigration, that it cannot have
any chance to sly yea or nay as
to our administration of the Mon
roe Doctrine. When shall we be
able to leave the league when
we like, and congress can do as
it likes about entering any new
wars that come along.
/ Friends of the-adm inistration
will say that these reservations
merely elaborate and make more
definite terms already in the COW
enant of the league. Opponents
will say that by standing out
they have kept the United States
in an absolutely independent po-
sition. so that it can do exactly
as it likes in the future, as it has
done in the past. There is merit
in both contentious.
What the league will amount
to will not depend entirely upon
the spirit of future American ad-
ministrations. If Washington in
the future is disposed to act with
the other powers and help keep
the world on an even keel, the
league will be a success. If
forthcoming administrations are
inclined to tell the rest of the
world to go hang, the league
will collapse.
The world needs steadying
very badly. Conditions every
where are dangerously shaky.
America is todav richer and more
powerful than any three other
nations, and her influence as a
stabilizing force can be of meal
culable benefit to the rest of the
world if she chooses to say, in
business-like way: Let US have
peace. Shreveport Journal.

Parish Political Pot Beginning to Boil.
We learn that the parish politi-
cal got in Grant is already be-
yond the simmering stage and
is beginning to boil in earnest.
One or more of the incumbents
of parish offices have already an
nounced to their friends that they
would not offer for reelection,
but seek a change to other fields,
and the crop of would-be incum-
bents isreported to be amply suf-
ficient to fill all the offices in the
parish three times over.

For some time, largely due to the uncertainty about the

in many ways that it has been for long time. 1t is the
business Of the two men appointed yesterday to see that
