G0OD ADVICE,

George w. Wickersham. formerly
attorney general of the United
States, now is one of the most active
OF the proponents of the League. He
hands out some splendid advice to
his party when he says:
"The question before the Rcpub-
hcan party today is whether it shall
allow few senator's. blinded by
passion and resentment at the Pres
idcnt and his administration, to
commit the party Of great national
and international ideals to the re-
Versal of its principles, the aban-
donment of its high mission and :;
position of opposition to the only
practicable and attainable plan be-
fore the world to avert from pos
terity the recurrence of the hor-
rOrs, the misery and the tragedy Of
further wars"
1t should be recalled in this con-
nection that Mr.. Wickersham went
to Paris to ''look on at the Peace
Conference, prejudiced against the
League of Nations. 1t should also
he recalled that Mr.. WiCkcrshan
said that before he went to France
and witnessed the devastation of
parts OF that country that his con-
ccption of the meaning of the word
''invasion' was confined to the def
milton in the dictionaries. Surely
Mr.. Wickersham is competent 10 adj
wise members of his own party on
the necessity Of the League of Ma
tions.-part of an editorial in
Charleston Gazette.
This Impeachment of the motives
OF the Republican leaders in the
Senate comes from Republican of
high standing in the councils of his
party.

OLD GUARD IN THE SADDi F.

The manner in which the "oId
guard" the "full-dinner-pail stand.
patterS' of Mark Hanna's day. has
again grabbed the lions share of
the fat committee assignments in
congress over the vehement protest
of the so-called progressive eIc-
ment Of the republican party is
proof enough that the old G. o. p.
organization, through all of its vi
cissitudcs af the last decade or
more, is still Subscrvient to the same
old masters.
The leopard has not changed
its spots: at times the hands NAV
have looked and felt like Esau's, but
the voice, when it speaks, is clearly
that of Jacob: and the country is
not deceived.
Penrose, Warren, Smoot Lodge.
Knox. etc.-how reminiscent of the
good old days" of republican au-
thority! The same old coterie is
still in control of things within
their party as of yore.
The "progrcssives" looked ahead:
they could see what the effect of
the "old guard" on the chances of
republican success at the polls in
1920 would be; they fought to the
limit of their strength TO make the
most of the republican party's OPP
portunity.
But they were unable to stand
against the "stand-pat" steam roll
or; they failed; they went down to
defeat, and the "old guard" reigns
for the day supreme in its ancient
glory!
What means this narrow, partisan
opposition TO the League but Old
Guard satisfaction with existing
conditions and opposition to pro-
greSS?

ENGLAND RATIFIES TREATY,

Al what was virtually an all night
session the English house of com
mons completed its consideration
of both the German peace treaty
and the Anglo-French convention
Tuesday. July 22nd.
The bill carrying approval of the
German treaty was considered in
committee of the whole, exciting
lengthy debate, in which Premier
Lloyd George took an active part.
The bill was then placed before the
house and passed its third reading.
after motion Of John Devlin to re-
Ject 1t as protest against the prem
ier's attitude towards Ireland had
been defeated by 1863 to 4.
Then at 3 a. m, the Anglo French
pact was taken up, and the bill ap-
proving it was unanimously adopt
ed after short but sharp debate,
in which the argument that the
treaty was not consistent with the
spirit of the league of nations failed
TO find any substantial echo.
The German treaty passed thru
all its stages without amendment.
In concluding his speech on the
treaty Premier Lloyd George, while
making no claim of perfection for
it, expressed confidence that any
defects would be remedied by the
league of nations. Nothwithstand-
ing its imperfections the premier
declared the treaty would stand as
"A lighthouse in the deep and a
warning to nations and rulers of ma
tons against the peril which the
German empire shattered itself

WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

III the League shall be defeated,
then
First. Business will not resume
in that fullness of vigor to which
the people who have made the sac
rifices are justly entitled. We have
paid for peace and it is not selfish
to want and expect the prosperity
which should be ours when peace
shall be declared.
Second. Negotiations must be re-
sumcd and the whole ground COW
cred again. That would make an
indefinite dclay-always danger
Gus.
Third. Germany will be more diff
ficult TO manage the Kaiser. and
the murdcrous junkers may escape
their trial. Our disagreements are
Germany's opportunities.
Fourth. But worse will be the
last opportunity to help the OPP
pressed and to make Heaven smile;
the disappointment of the French,
the Poles, the CroatianS, the Syri-
ans, the Jews, the Armenians and
the Belgians; the decreased pres
tIgc OF the American people; and
the consciousness that we failed at
the supreme moment TO be strong
and generous and true to our avow-
cd purposes in going TO war.
Fifth. The League may be made
by our Allies, leaving us out, in
which event we will voluntarily be
IN Germany's relation to the League
If England, France, Italy, Belgium
and the other principal countries
of the world make League TO en-
force peace and we stay out, then
our situation as TO Mexico will be
delicate and dangerous. There will
then be Monroe Doctrine an
nounced by us, but not recognized
by the nations of the earth as it is
by the League Covenant. If we shall
at any time, attempt to enforce with
arms OUR Monroe Doctrine, any
one Of the league nations Japan for
Instance) can summon the powers
OF the League to prevent us from
breaking the peace. That would
put the navics of the world against
us. If we shall be able to contend
against such q force, think of the
cost and the sacrifices that such a
contest will exact.
If we approve the League
First. Business will respond like
magic. All agree on that.
Second. We will be Justly hailed
as a true friend of peace and the
big brother of Inc oppressed. The
consciousness of doing right, of
serving mankind unselfshly, will be
our priceless heritage.
Third. We will be relieved of a
large part of the expense of our
war bill. Doing right always pays.
Fourth. If any cog slips; any
supposed benefit miscarries or any
real danger 10 our institutions de-
velops, we can Withdraw.
How childish to fear perma-
ncnt danger when we reserve the
option to withdraw.
But blessed are the peace-mak-
crs. for they shall be called the
children of Cod Who shall de-
ny 10 the American people this op-
portunity to make in good faith, the
attempt TO vitalize the better an
