 The leadership of the minority in the next Congress. Representative Lever said, should have 10 axes to grind and TO personal ambitions to serve. l. should De such 8 leadership as can freely and without hesitation confer with the actual leader Of the party on matters of national and par ty policies Without such harmon ious relationship the situation for 1920 is impossible: with t the future of the party could not be more hopeful. for II IS my firm belief that the over vhelming majority of the people of the country are in line with the pres ident in his wonderful fight to mini mize to the very limit the possibility of wars in the future.
 Soldiers Favor League.
 The million, three hundred thou sand soldiers who have gone through the brutal murder of war, returning to this country are as certain to give their support to the idea of a League of Nations as Il IS certain that the sur will rise tomorrow morning and no man can be selected to lead the Democrats n the next House who does not in fuil measure believe in this doctrine To select a man for leader who does not believe in 1t would be suicide and t Is my belief that when the Democrats ef the eoun- try realize what the real situation is they xill demand ia terms which eaa- not be misunderstood, such 3 leader ship as Hln give the pres dent and his policies fullest support.

fine etcher does with his needle. Perhaps
it is the spectacle of the sombre figure
of Tragedy tngging at Comedy's sleeve,
and holding his sinister face close to
hers, that has cost this author many
thousands of readers. A shadow, if only
a flicker, is seldom absent from the
printed page; which is slightly disturb

Thirteen distinguished English authors
have contributed introductiens to the
different volumes of this edition, making
it the most deliberately introduced col

to come to our attention SO far. 1t is
hard to tell whether this is publishers
device or a bit of Understanding" to
