LINCILNIAN LOGIC

Washington, March 11.-(Special
correspondence Judging by the
demonstration on the part Of his audi
ence, one of the most effective por-
tions of the address delivered by Sen
ator Borah in opposition to the pro-
posed League of Nations was that in
which he drew an illustration repre-
senting America as tenant who had
departed from the farm of his land
lord, Europe, to establish farm of
his own. Said Senator Borah, in part
"Let us make homely illustration;
perhaps it may better illustrate the
argument. A great many years ago a
man by the name of Europe opened a
farm. He begins the tillage of his
great farm, but turmoil, strife, and
dissension arise among his tenants.
Finally dissatisfied European by the
name, we will call him, America, de-
termines to leave these turmoils on
the European farm to go into the for
est, opening clearing, and establish
ing new farm. He went into the
wilderness and sacrificed and finally
established a farm of his own. After
he has established it he declares, af
ter reflection, 4 am afraid those Euro
peans will come here and cause me
the same disturbance and trouble and
establish the same kind of a system
which we had in Europe; so | will es
tablish partition fence" He does
establish a partition fence. 1t stands
for hundred years. People sit about
and discuss it, and pass many eulogies,
declaring over and over again that it
was one of the wisest things that a
farmer ever did. But suddenly me-"
inspiration dawns, and it is thought
that it would be a good idea to tear
down the wall or fence and to COM
mingle and intermingle the systems;
to Join one farm to another and have
one superintendent. 1t was said to the
farmer America, Let us tear down
this fence He replies in surprise and
CONSERVATION, Il built it for pur-
pose,' WELL it is contended by the
idealist, we thing it is better to tear
it down. At this time there rises
up man by the name of William
Howard. He says to farmer Ameri-
ca. Let us tear down that wall fence
of yours. 1t must be done right away.
Anyone who opposes can not be trust
