4 STATE OF MIND.

The American people certainly are
entitled to second thought i'll the mat
ter Of the League Of Nations. A sober
second thought will finally occupy their
minds on that subject. but it may come
too late to save the world from war
and famine in our time.
The truth is. the American people
are sulky about heavy taxation to
which they are not yet accustomed. ana
which they will. however, very readily
admit was as unavoidable as the war.
DemocracieS are not fit to contend
with oigarchies and absolute mon
arches in either war or trade. ana the
making of the whole world Il democracy
is democracy's only hope for mil
lenium upon earth. Invention has
made the world of to-day about as
small as the District Of Columbia was
on IL Yesterday when Washington warn
ed us in our isolation and weakness.
AS Gen SHUTS has SAID. Humanity
has struck its tents and once more Is
on the march, ssations in motion mot
to say commotion) move clumSily and
crash into each other from mere ull-
wieldiness. Yet. humanity is on the
march.
The American people will accept the
League of Nations. or they will not
Their apparent indifference does not
become Il people who are already on the
brink of Il war which it must wage
across twice or thrice the thousands OF
miles Of ocean over which it rushed last
summer to the victory that cost the
present taxes about which they now
seem so Sulky. The American people
need Il League Of Nations to save what
they have left flpm the last war ant
make sure what they have gained b!
that conflict.
But our destiny is just behind thu
