FAULTS THAT ARE WRITES

The greater part of the objections to
the League of Nations is founded on
misconceptions. AS the Originators of
these misconceptions PROFOUND and
clarity their theories, the public quiet
ly chuckles at the good they are doing
the league by driving home its real
meaning and scope while attempting
to dam the rising flood of popularity
on which it is riding.
Perhaps the most popular argument
against the proposed covenant is that
it abrogates the Monroe Doctrine.
The Monroe Doctrine should be clear
ly understood before judgment is pass
ed. All that this famous mandate of
the fifth President contains is a pro-
hibition to any European or Asiatic
power of the acquisition of territory
in the Western Hemisphere without
the consent of the United States.
The constitution of the League of
Nations as it stands prohibits such ac-
GuisitiOn without the consent of the
nation concerned and the unanimous
approval of the Executive COlrcil. If
Germany should have attempted to an
mex a part of Venezuela ten years ago,
the United States would have had to
declare war on her. If Germany
should attempt to annex part of Ven
ezuela ten years from now, the United
States, Great Britain, France and some
score other powers would, in concert
ed action, declare war on her-if the
league become a fact
For more than one hundred years
the Monroe Doctrine has been backed
by the strong arm of the United
States; when the league begins to
operate, the Monroe Doctrine will be
backed by the strong arm of all civ
ilization.

WHY THEY LEAVE

There are twenty teachers in the
Columbia High School and only two
of them have been in the employment
of the school board here for more than
three years. This does not speak well
for a city of this size with school
of high class. The trouble is that in
most cases, as soon as the teachers
have a year or two of experience, they
go 10 schools that will give them high
er salaries.
Are COlumbians willing that their
schools be used merely as training
schools for teachers? Are they going
to sit idly by and see good teachers
taken away because Columbia does not
pay what. their services are worth?
If we have regard for the education
of our children, we will have regard
for the class of instructors which We
employ for them; and good teachers
cannot be kept for any length of time
unless they are well paid.

Round About

Warm spring days are causing the
fishermen of Columbia to hunt up their
fishing tackle and return to their old
haunts of year ago. or probably two
or three years ago, before the war
interfered with their spring and sum-
mer sport.
There is a wide choice of fishing
places in the vicinity. Good fishing
holes can be found eOther 1ortl. south,
east or west of town.
One of the best known places is
Bells Lake, near ROchepOrt Anoth-
er is Cedar Creek, on the boundary
line of Boone and Galloway counties.
There is Perche Creek, which runs
from the covered bridge south of town
to the Missouri River. There is also
good fishing in the Missouri, but it
has never been so popular as some OF
the smaller places.
BrushwOOd Lake, sometimes called
Horseshoe Lake, and GOrdOn's Lake
are also popular fishing places.
Everything from large catfish to
minnOws have been caught by COlum-
bians. including crappie. bass. sunfish,
perch, buffalo, carp and dOgfsh.

DO WE NEED HIM!

Have you ever driven along Broad
way near the NJ. X. & T. tracks?
Have you ever tried to cross the
street between Conley and Lowry on
Ninth during a heavy rain?
Have you slipped on slippery walks
after freeze, or walked in slush over
unshovelled pavements after a snow
Have you wondered why some pave
ments were good and others bad, and
still others missing?
Have you been out along the byways
in the northwestern portion of Co
lumbia, and noticed the lack of i'm
provements?
In fact, have you noticed that while
many streets and pavements in Co.
lumbia are excellent and a great
number of them fair, there are some
spots in the streets and pavements,
and some sections of town where the
need of an active, efficient street COM
missioner would be an expedient
thing?
