BY
WIN. SULZER, EX-GOVERNOR
OF NEW YORK, AND FORMER
CHAIRMAN OF THE. COMM
TEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS,
IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

For many years l have advo-
Gated an International Tribunal
to prevent war, make the earth
a better place in which to live
and the world safe for the Bro
therhood of Man.
Civilization is a thing of slow
growth. 1t is only when some
great convulsion, or catastrophe,
rocks the earth, and stirs huma-
nifty to the depths, that men and
women realize the impotency of
present agencies, and demand
new methods to promote better
conditions.
The great war has demonstrated
the weakness of the past, and the
necessity for something better in
the future.
The League of Nations is
step forward in the onward Strug-
gle of hopeful humanity. Every
friend of freedom, every lover of
liberty, every apostle of peace,
and every ambassador of good
will on earth toward men and
women should favor the plan of
the Paris Peace Conference. As
outlined it may not be perfect,
but time will remedy its imper-
fections, and men of vision will
strengthen its final eonsumation.
All nations must, in the last
analysis, be members of the world
League, and then it will be only
rope of sand unless it is given
the power to legislate, and to adj
jucticate, and to execute. 1t is
the possession of these powers
that makes our League of States
invulnerable and impregnable.
Reactionaries are ever afraid
of progress and fearful of expe-
riments, They forget that the adj
vaneement of civilization is along
the paths of experiment and COM
promise. These present-day con,
servatives are like the old couple
of the long ago, riding backward
in a one-horse shay-they never
see the landscape of better things
until it is past.
There will always be bourbons
to progress; there viii always be
obstruetionists to peace; there
viii always be opponents to re-
form, because the perspective of
these men is elouded by their en-
vironment. They never forget
and they never learn This is to
be expected, and illustrates the
difficulties of every movement to
lift humanity to a higher plane
and push it forward a step IN the
grand march of civilization To
dissipate their doubts; to stop
their eayilling; and to mock their
cawing we need only point to
the forgotten records Of their
predecessors who prophesied di-
refnl things concerning every
word reform = from the dawn

ton of the Federal Constitution
The forward-lOoking peOple'
of the earth now say to these
backward - looking men, in Con
gress and out of Congress, that
as the government instrumental
ties of the past have signally fail
ed to save humanity from the
calamities of the present, the peo-
pie of progress = the men and
women of the Now - who are
facing the dawn of the better
day = are unafraid of the Lea
que of Nations, because they want
the future to be better, and be-
cause they know it cannot be
worse.
Let us have no fear of the pro-
gress of peace. The only thing
to dread is the paleozoics who
preach stagnation - the Stagna-
ton which means political death
to men and nations. As against
these croakers and their forgot
ten prototypes, the liberals of the
earth - the friends of Brother
hood - now take their place
with the world men - with So
crates and Plato, Marcus Azure
Illus and Dante, Henry of Navar-
re and Saint Simon, GrOtius and
PuffendOrf, Thomas Paine and
Benjamin Franklin, Robert Burns
and James Russell Lowell, Lloyd
George and Clemeneeau, Oscar
Straus and Willim H. Taft -
and last but not least, Woodrow
Wilson.
A century hence there VIII De
only two kinds of people on this
earth those who are big enough
and brave enough, and liberal
enough to say, "The world is my
country" and those who are 50
little, and so fearful, and so ignO-
rant that they cannot say 1t.
The men who are now welding

ing better than they know. They

Time viii place them among the
immortals, and give them large
page in the annals of civilization.
These world men are now
doing a great work for the men
and women of the earth - only
of us cannot see it because we
are too close to them. Every
great man is mediocre to thOS:
right around him. Big things -
like the League of Nations gain
in size with time. They loom larg-
er as distance lends enchantment
to the view. This is true of men
as well as mountains. 1t takes
perspective to show the size and
the importance of things.
Do not be too sure that you
know a great man when you see
him. You may be too close to him.
Only the few have the faculty
to see in the future but no one can
foretell what the world is going
to say about a man after he has
been dead a thousand years Ii

NEEDLESS BLINDNESS

1t is asserted on medical autho-
rity that not less than two-fifths
of the blind children in this coun-
try are needlessly so.
A few drops of a silver nitrate
solution put into the eyes of the
h6by at its birth will prevent
blindness due to a venereal in
lection. This form of blindness is
known as 0phthalmia Neonato.
rum and is caused by gonorrhea
. transmitted by the one or both
of the parents to their offspring.
If parents only understood the
importance of this simple trait
ment, which is furnished free by
the Department of Health, they
would insist that the nitrate of
silver drops be used whenever a
new baby comes into their homes.
The eyes of every baby should
be treated with this simple solu-
ton at birth, for the reason that
no, one, not even the parents
themselves, can tell whether or
not infection may have occurred
at birth.
There is an ordinance of the
City of Chicago requiring physi-
clans, midwives, nurses or others
in attendance at the birth of any
child to report to the Commissio-
ner of Hrealth any case of sore
eyes within twenty-four hours
after the first appearance OF
such soreness. Failure to comply
with this law is punishable, upon
conviction, by a fine of from
$500 to $500.
Every mother should under
stand the Importance of having
her baby's eyes treated at birth
and should insist that the doctor
in attendance do his part towards
preventing the possibility of the
baby becoming blind.
1t is estimated that there are
over 1000 blind people In Chi
cago and that about one-half of
these pathetic cases could have
been prevented had they been
properly theated in their early
in fancy.

RACIAL GIFTS

COlored people have the gift of
good nature good nature which
is practically unfailing. Good Nd
ture is always an asset. 1t will
get men farther than almost any
other quality.
A man is not made by the
things which he does with his
hands, but by what he thinks.
The cOlored men in the shipyard,
who work skillfully with their
hands, are as self-respecting as
any other group of people. We
must make class depend on decen
cy rather than upon the kind of
work a man or woman does.
The colored people have a glo-
rious future before them. They
will learn as others have done
that thrift and hard work will
bring them out all right. They
become a property-owning, vo-
ting people.
COlored people just naturally
like to get hold of a little pro-
perty. Only death and disaster
will separate them from their
property. All clear-thinkin.,, right
minded white people are the
friends of cOlored people. A boy
or a girl a man or a woman, who
sticks to his or her job will win.
