Riding For a Fall
Brooklyn Eagle

The Sun begins its leader this morn
ing with this declaration, in double
loaded type: IF America is to defeat
the Wilson scheme for League OF
Nations it must defeat it through the
organized forces of the Republican
party. The Democratic forces are al
ready lined up in its support as a party
measure"
The converse OF the proposition that
all opponents of the League must line
up in the Republican party is that all
supporters OF the League must gravi-
tate into the Democratic ranks. Per
haps the Sun thinks it can afford to
read William Howard Taft into the
Democratic party, but when it comes
to the voters who agree with Mr.. I
it will find it needs them badly in its
business next year The attitude OF
some of these voters is shown by re-
cent incidents in Vermont, the rock
ribbed home of Republicans and Re-
publicanism, The Vermont publishers
recently held their annual meeting
there being not more than hall a dozen
Democratic papers in the State, in
dorsed the League of Nations and sent
the members of the Association home
to work for it. How they are working
is illustrated by the Mddlebury Regis
ter, which carries single line thrown
in among its news and editorial para
graphs, repeated perhaps half dozen
times on each page of the paper "The
I aa0,1a Of Nations sc pIC-HTIO
That is an evidence of the feeling
upon which President Wilson relied so
confidently when he declared that the
American people were overwhelmingly
for the League. If the League is right, ="
in the language of the Register, the
American people want it and no ques-
ton of partisan advantage is going to
restrain them from supporting it. If
the Sun is going to read into the Demo
cratic party all those people who believe
that the League is right and support
it for that reason, the Democrats surely
do not object President Wilson on
his return trip did his best to keep the
question out of party politics by ap-
pealing, through the Democratic or
ganization, for support for the League
from Republican County committees
However, if Republicans, under the lead
of the Sun, propose to excommunicate
all supporters of the League of Nations,
Democratic doors are wide open to re-
ceive them. Democrats have no objec-
ton to being known as the supporting
party of the League plan. They have
not tried to capitalize the League as
party measure, contrary to the Suns
statement, but if it is thrust upon them
they could ask nothing better than to
make the stone which the Republican
builders reject the head of their cor
ner We suspect, however, the Repub-
hcans outside of the Sun office will
think twice before they offer their OPP
ponents any such advantage as that

Old Clothing Week March 24-31


At the present time the most pressing
need abroad is for food, clothing and
textiles. Furnishing clothing and tex
tiles is work of the Red Cross. The
work of making refugee garments of all
sorts is progressing favorably, but there
has come call from our commission
abroad for as large a supply as pos
Sible of old shoes and clothing
The appeal is for more than a million
people who were unfortunate enough
to have settled in the regions of Europe
which were overrun by the invading
army of Germans. When the majority
of thesce refugees were collected in the
south of France the clothing question
was not so important because of the
need of the mild climate, Now that
they have returned to the cold climate
of Northern France, clothing becomes
almost as necessary as food. Leather
shoes are very scarce, as is the scrap
leather to mend them with. Under
clothes are a luxury. Socks and stock
ings are articles that have become prac-
tically unknown as clothing neces-
sity.
Make your gift practical Wooden
goods of any kind are acceptable; soft
hats and caps for all ages and sweaters
of any kind and size Mems shirts and
pajamas so worn or shrunken as no
longer to be serviceable are welcome,
since the material can be utilized for
making children's garments. The cam
paign will be in charge of the Red Cross
Branch in every town of the Addison
County Chapter.

II IS Right!

Two communications published in an
adjoining column, fairly indicate the
two extremes Of several messages OF
criticism and support which The Reg
lister has received as a result of this
papers roofing" for the League OF
Nations Both Of these expressions are
from fellow Republicans. Also there is
published here an editorial from The
Brooklyn Daily Eagle which, though
erroneous in reference to the vote tax
en- at the State Press Association meet
ing, is interesting as indicative Of the
comment to which the Registers po-
sition gave rise
The vote taken at the Press Asso-
citation banquet in no sense is reliable
index to the attitude OF editorial minds
gathered there The total vote cast
was &c. The number OF those present
at the banquet was 46. OF these AZ
persons, l8 were against the League, II
were for it, and the attitude OF II 9TH
ers remains unknown.
Among those who did vote were wo-
men and gentlemen in no wise connect
ed with the press. The surprising thing
was that at a meeting of Vermont edl-
tors and in the presence of Repub-
hcan Governor and Congressman, II
persons were sufficiently strong in their
convictions to vote in support OF the
Wilson plan of League of Nations at
the very moment that party leaders
in Washington were trying to de-
feat it on party lines" The press
meeting vote was certainly indicative
that rock ribbed" Republicanism in
Vermont is not so prejudiced or so sell
fish as to deny even Democratic presi-
dent that measure of support which he
ought to have in a great endeavor in
the interests of all humanity. And
whatsoever the editors and politicians
may say, the people will not be misled
by buster and fihbuster into anything
but Christian thinking and never cease
to pin their faith to the highest ideals
of world progress.
The Monroe Doctrine has served its
purpose, but in the light OF new world
covenant, it becomes as archaic as did
mythology after the dawn OF the Chris
tan era. The world league does mean
some sacrifice of our national isolation
and national selfshness, but nothing
comparable to the sacrifices which we
have already made on European bat
tlefelds in order to be born again
During that tense act of war, who is
there who was not proud of democracy's
ideals; and who is there now who will
brazenly tread upon them?
Is Wilson's league league OF
"notions?" The first steamboat was
Fultons folly" America never looked
greater to us than it does in the light
of a great magnanimous leader OF
the world toward Wilson's peace ideals,
and it never looked smaller to us than
it does through the partisan spectacles
Of some of the august senators at Wash
ington.

Give Clothing to Red Cross

The Red Cross is in urgent need of
clothing for the destitute in all the
European countries devastated by the
war. Shoes, underclothing, stockings,
suits, overcoats, soft hats and caps, bed
ding practical things, for men, women
and children, are needed. 1t is not ne
Cessary for them to be new, if they are
still strong and have wear left in them,
they will bring comfort to many a des-
titute family whose affairs are in a
pitiable condition
The week of March 24-29 has been
appointed by National Headquarters
for the clothing campaign, and the Mid
dlebury branch has been asked to CON
tribute its share of the 10000 tons need
ed All who have articles to contribute
are requested to send them to the Red
Cross rooms IN the old National Bank
building on Monday, Thursday or Sat
urday afternoons of that week AS. the
Red Cross is asked to make all ship
ments in burlap or cloth bags, if you
can send your offering in bags, it will
