A STRONG POINT.

That there are some weak points in
the proposed constitution of the pro-
posed league of nations ought to he
conceded by it's friends and they should
show disposition 10 consent freely
and willingly to such changes as seem
t. be wise. However, critics of the pro-
posed league ough. to grant that the
rough draft Of the constitution as given
out contains much tina: is good and
much that is sure to reduce the lial,il-
ity of war, if it does not stop war Ar
ticle twelve is a good one and, ass,nm-
ing the contracting parties are honest
and will stand by their pledges, will go
far toward preserving peace. 1t is as
follows:
1.-The high contracting parties agree
that should disputes arise between then
which cannot be adjusted by the Or
binary processes of diplomacy, they
will in no case resort to war without
previously submitting the questions
and matters involved, either to arbitra-
ton or to inquiry by the executive
council, and that they will not even
then resort to war as against member
of the league which complies with the
award of the arbitrators or to the rec
ommenda tons of the executive council
I'm any case under this article the
award of the arbitratOrs shall be made
within reasonable time and the rec
ommendation Of the executive council
shall be made within six months after
the submission of the dispute"

ALLEN INVESTIGATED.

According to the statements OF some
Of the legislative gentlemen engaged
in an investigation of the auto license
department of the secretary Of states
Office the business Of that department
is in deplorable condition. That the
secretary has not had help necessary
to expedite business has been known
for some time. Auto owners have
been greatly annoyed by delays, but
in the end, everybody seems TO get due
credit.
The people of the state, while be-
lieying that the secretary's Office may
have chen less efficient than it should
he, ought to be careful about charging
dishonesty. 1t is Il most serious thing
to blacken the character of public
official without absolute proof. Mr..
Allen is entitled to an impartial hear
ing and the people ought to be willing
and are willing to grant that much.
Things look ugly. No mistake about
that. But wait until the evidence is
all in, then Judgment can be entered
according to the facts.
The Freeman-Journal has believed
for some time that the collection OF
the automobile tax should he taken
out of the hands of state officers and
put into the hands of county officials.
preferably the county auditor. The
business could be handled much more
satisfactorily by the ninety-nine county
auditors than by single state officer.
This plan would expedite matters and
the auto owner could go to the court
house and secure his number plate. or
he could write for it and get it by
mail in day or two. Moreover, it
would be easier for the authorities to
detect fraud and bring the license
dodgers to justice. Now that the ques-
tion to determine what to do with The
automobile license business is before

a member; that a member should not
he required to become mandatory
against its will: that it should be made
plain that the league is not to inter-
fere with the internal affairs of the
nations belonging; that each nation
should be permitted to decide whether
or not it will undertake the things adj
vised by the general council; that each
nation ought to reserve the right to
declare an economic boycott; that pro-
vision should be made to permit the
expansion of growing nations, etc, etc
In closing his statement MI. Bryan
says:
Il have suggested what seemed to me
to be desirable changes, some being
notifications, some being merely more
explicit statements. ! conclude, as
began. that while we should endeavOr
to make the league as nearly perfect
as possible, we should not allow its
imperfectiOns to lead to it's rejection.
We must take risks, no matter wheth-
er we accept the league or reject it.
The risks that we take in accepting it
are less than the risks we take If we
reject it and turn back to the old ways
of blood and slaughter. God grant that
those who are intrusted with the
launching of this great work may have
the wisdom to so purge it of selfish
ness and greed, and so infuse into it
the spirit of the Prince OF Peace as to
make it the end of war;"

PARADOXICAL.

1t is reported that at the meeting OF
members of the democratic national
committee at luncheon at the white
house while the president was IN
Washington on brief visit to renew
acquaintance with old time neighbOrs
and friends, Mr.. Wilson made an adj
dress and urged the committeeman to
hurry back to their states and call
meetings of their state committees
for the purpose of getting indorse-
ments Of the league. He asked them
also to do everything in their power
to persuade republican state commit
tees to join them in nOn-partisan in
dOrsements. 1t will he eXcruiatingly
funny to have the democrats OF GeOr-
gia and South Carolina. for instance,
pass resolutions in favor Of a league
proposed to make the world safe for
democracy. lust watch the perform-
ance. 1t viii be as good as a circus
The resolutions ought to read some
thing like this:
I'VE. representatives of the demo
cratic party of South Carolina, in com
pliance with the request of the presi'
dent of the United States, declare un-
equivocally in favor Of making the en-.
tire world Except South Carolina
safe for democracy, and we are hearth
|ly in favor of following the course
that has made this state safe for the
democratic party since the memory Of
