NOT WELL BALANCED

In the annex to the covenant of the
league of nations is a list which is men
TONED as being the "Original members Of
the league of nations signatores of the
treaty of peace" This list contains the
names of 32 nations and if the reader
does not stop to anaIyze it he may con-
clude that the day of eternal peace has
arrived. Perhaps the greatest weakness
of the covenant of the league is the fact
that il S not well balanced For example
Great Britain has . votes in the assembly,
one for the empire as d whole, one for
New Zealand, where there are about L.
there are about 1000, 900, one for Canada,
where there are about 10, 900, 900, one for
India, with 800, 900, 600, and one for South
Africa, with about 10000, 900. Neither
New Zealand, Australia, Canada. India,
nor South Africa, are nations. The United
States has only one vote in the assembly,
although she has 81 States each of which
has population greater than that of
New Zealand. She has Two States having
a greater population than that of Aus
traha, and one State having a population
equal to that of Canada. She has 4B
States which are better fitted to deal
with moral uplift and the peace of the
world than is India or South Africa.
The HedJaz, having a population of
500, 000 Arabs and Turks, many of whom
are SEMI barbarous, has the same voting
power il the assembly as has the United
States, The entire population of Il Of
these signzto'ry nations is not more than
one-thrd that of the United States. Three
other signatores of the treaty Of peace
are fighting like fiends and have been
ever since they signed. Not one of at
least 20 of the signatories accepted the
covenant because they ardently desired
to preserve the peace Of the world. Phil
authropy is not a controlling part Of their
national creed They Joined the league
because they hoped, and some of them
believed, that Great Britain, the United

rush to their defence and pay the bills, in
case they seemed to be in danger of losing
some Of their territory. The league will
be but scrap of paper, as far as their
allegiance IS concerned, when they learn
that good deal of advice is all they are
going to receive.
Japan has obtained what she wanted
and has gone home to utilize her booty.
Italy IS disgrUnted and will hereafter
light independently and only for conquest
or for self deferse Therefore IN the final
ANALYSIS We can safely say that The real
strength Of the league, whatever it may
prove e be, lies II Great Britain, the
Uneed State and France. It IS plainly
to be seen that the potent is overbalanced
by tie Ineffective, the Indifferent and the
neutral To these are given at least 20
votes n the assembly while the United
States IS allowed but one.

RIGHT ABOUT, FACE.

n the state of New York there are 1877

DER the dlret ton of the Governor a plan
is being perfected which will reduce
these 1877 boards to Is state departments.

duced the lumber to 9. Nebraska had
81, now has g. Oregon has 10. Massa-
chusetts proposes to reduce hers to -.

most always leads to waste. There are
such opportunities to escape responsible
ty that dishonesty is not infrequent, and,
at best, there is laXity of administra-
ton. Since We entered the war the
waste of money and materials has been
prodIgiOus and wicked. We have had
scores of commissions every one of
which denies malfeasance and passes the
blame along to somebody else. We shall
never have a good national administra-
ton, republican or democratic, till we
cut out red tape, simplify cur methods of
do ing public business, and put that bust
ness, whatever it may be, in charge of an
honest, capa Die and energetic man who
knows something, the more the better,
about that business.

A man named Joseph Brandon, when
the draft for soldiers was in progress,
was one Of the foremost of that defiant
and disloya band who, if they had their
way, would have turned this country
over to the foe. He was arrested, tried
by court-martial and sentenced TO death
This sentence was reduced TO imprson-
ment for 25 years, by the commanding
general Later on President Wilson COM
muted this sentence to 5 years. After
he had been thus favored with clemenc y
he wrote, "From what little news we get,
we almost go crazy for Joy when we read
or hear that the red flag is waving over
more and more territory in Europe" 1t
certainly seems that the prisoner deserv-
ed the punishment which the President
decided he should receive. The war de-
partment has turned Brandon loose and
we expect to hear next, that he is insti-
eating riots in some strike district. We
would like to have Sec'y Baker cite his
authority for granting a pardon to this
man or to any other person serving a
prison sentence for crime.

tinue for some time. 1t must be admitted
wishing that the treaty shall be clear and
explicit in its terms, There seems to be
no reason why the United States should
hasten its ratification, at least till France
has done so. 1t is silly for us to claim
that immediate ratification on our part
will settle strikes, reduce the cost of liv-
ing, abolish Bolshevism, or speedily re-
store normal business conditions.

To have the pains and aches of q bad back removed-to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary dis orders. is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following ad- vice of one who has suffered will prove helpful to hundreds of Nome readers.

Wash. says: "Doan's Kid !ney Pills. in my estimation, are superior to any other medicine for kidney trouble and I couldn't recom- mend anything their equal I have been taking Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for ;l number of years and have always received fine results. For Iameness of the back and kidney dis orders, Doan's can't be equaled".
