SHERMAN ON THE LEAGUE.

probably waste of time to pay attention to what
Lawrence Y. Sherman says upon any subject the least
detail of which has aroused his personal Spleen but because
many Americans are earnestly trying to make up their
minds about the League of Nations attention ought to be
called the fact that when he said yesterday that the lib
critics won in centuries of struggle would be lost forever
if the United States to become member of the pro-
posed league he made statement that open TO question
at this stage of the discussion of the league.
Nothing isclearer in the of the league than the
paragraph which it is declared that any nation sgnaory
to the covenant may upon years notice withdraw pro-
vded its international obligations have been discharged
Nor will they be likely to agree with many of the ex-
Havagant statements of Mr. Sherman. There are other
statesmen at Paris than the Americans and everything
that the league means the United States means prac-
dcaly the thing to them Some of these statesmen
frankly not of the idcalistc frame of mind that
characterzes the Americans. These gentlemen are in
tnsey practical and they filled with old world skep-
tcsm regarding the way national interests operate Yet
they have sgnihed willingness to enter the league.
They trying to prevent future wars. or at least to
make war less easy In that they are trying to do what
the majority of the people of this country want done
It's quite possible that the plan they have worked out does
not contain the elements Of and if that prob
able when the details are subjected TO analysis by minds
accustomed solving problems of this character the league
should be rejected But in the time only Senator
Sherman. but every else should try discuss it calmly
and in a reasonable frame of mind.

There is a feeling on the part OF many men
that 1t is cheaper TO rent a home than to pur-

prove to them that it is not so, by citing the

paid down and the balance paid in seven years
at the rate Of $500 a year. Allowing per
