yIruPERATIvE GOVERNMENT.

xryHEN President Wilson speaks Of the Senators who
w oppose the league Of nations Of pigmy minds
and towards he only reflects upon those men, Dut
insults the states by which they elected to the
Senate.
For than twenty-five years the people of Massa-
shusets have been keeping Henry Cabot Lodge in the
Senate.
For almost as long period Wyoming has been repre-
'ented by Francis E. Warren.
For more than eighteen years Vermont has been ap-
proving both the mental capacity and the courage Of
Dillingham;, and Utah has been youching for smoot for
than sixteen years.
Brandegee Of Connecticut; Borah OF Idaho; Gore Of
oklahoma; Page, of Vermont; Cummins, Of Iowa, and
ironna Of North Dakota have for more than a dozen
ears been held highest esteem by the people Of their
states
They are not thought to be either pigmes or towards
mong their neighbors
Delaware Missouri. Michigan, Washington. Con-
aectcut New Mexico Rhode Island South Dakota
Illinois, Indiana, Kansas Ohio New York Maine Mary
land New Jersey Pennsylvania, West Virginia Wis
consin New Hampshire and Colorado all put in the
list Of "easy marks" by the President when he places
The brand Of pigmy minded" and towards" upon such
Ball. Spencer and Reed Townsend and Newberry.
Mclean, Fall Colt, Sterling, sherman and Mccormick
Watson and New Curtis Harding Wadsworth and Calder
7efnad and Hale France Frelnshuysen and Edge PEN
and Knox sutherland and Ekins Lenroot Moses and
Seyes and Phpps all elected from those States respec-
lively
Moreover, many OF these whom the President has
enounced pismy minded and afflicted with cowardlce,
had received the approval OF the people OF their States
long before they sent TO the senate.
Many Of them had been tried In places OF public trust
where both ability and courage supreme require
ents their elevation TO the Senate nothing less
.an popular declaration well done good and faithful
,ervant."
When President Wilson denounces those men as UNFIT
for the positions they hold he denounces the people who
elected them in less scathng terms
He will find that his denunciaons and insults will
receive the resentment they deserve.

PARIS, Aug. 16.-Three hundred American buyers are in Paris at tending the first real display of styles shown since the war began in 1914. The American buyers are. according to French dressmakers, more inde- pendent and dictate as to their or ders.
 Brown is the predominating color this season and it is noticeable that any suggestion of the masculine is absent in styles for women. Paris dressmakers favor short skirts but Americans ridicule the scant use of cloth and the styles will probably be settled by compromise.
