Mr.. ROOT AND THE LEAGUE.

The proposed amendments to the
League of Nations constitution by
Elihu Root form an interesting contri-
button to the offerings against that i'm
mortal document, but in fact they sug-
gest little that has not already been
presented.
There is one point on which Mr..
Root lays emphasis. He would allow
any member the privilege of withdraw
ing upon due notice. This is certainly
irrelevant, since no provision is in the
original draft saying for how long a
period nation is to be "a member
when it becomes a signatory. What
reason could be presented for not al
lowing any member to withdraw at
will upon due notice or otherwise?
The league is proposal in the inter-
eStS of peace as ii permanent thing in
the world. If it was good thing for
the allies to stand together and fight
in war to relieve the world of Ger
man aggression and dominance it GER
taihly would be a good thing for them
to stand together and guard the world
in the maintenance of peace.
Another thing: Picture the League
of Nations in effect for ten years
everything in working order the world
joyously moving along on an even
keel Bolshevism out of the way; Rus
STA Quilted down and become a repub-
lie at last, when suddenly we see en-
blazoned in the news of the day +:
IN
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS. or ia
PAN WITHDRAWS or THE UNIT
ED STATES QUITS!
Immediately there would be hub
hub like that of 1914, when Germany
startled the world with her declara-
lions.
If we are to allow our imaginations
to run riot we can picture many Sc
rious things taking place in the future.
If there is to be intrigue and secret
ornaments and preparations for war
the league would not be worth a hill
o. beans. The very intent and cOncep-
ton of the great world covenent is to
prevent the probability or possibility
of intrigue. SO that, taking the consti-
tuition as it was first drafted. it looks
good enough. 1t was based on the
original fourteen points accepted by
the entente before the armist:ce, and
attempts to amend it have only made
a cloud that obscures it. A redraft
could be made to please the fastidous,
but would that help ii any?
Maybe Mr.. Root was used by Chair
man Hays to pull the chestnuts out of
the fire.

LIBERTY BOND OUTLOOK.

With Il nation whose total wealth
exceeds $235, O00OO0,0 and with bank
deposits of S5,0OO,0O0,O in excess of
those of four years ago, Secretary of
the Treasury Carter Glass feels the
country has right to feel optimistic
over the prospects of the coming Vic
tory Liberty loan. Secretary Glass
sentiments are outlined in letter to
Senator Calder of New York replying
to a suggestion of the latter that Con
gress be convened in special session
BY! By the President to holster up the Eih-
erty bonds of previous issues.
Secretary Glass holds such step
unnecessary and points out that the
best financial opinions coincide in the
view that the business outlook and
financial recovery of the country is
such as will drive the Liberty bonds
well above par before maturity.
Mr.. Glass shows by actual figures
that our national debt is less than
$4,000, 100000 and with all the war
debts yet to meet through the new
Victory Liberty loan, the total should
not exceed $30,000,000, against
which there is an offset of $10.000,000,-
600 of foreign obligations due this
country
National expenditures which reached
a maximum of S2,000,000,000 a month
at the time of the armiStice, will not
exceed $1,000, 100000 year after war
debts are paid by means of the Vic
tory Liberty loan.-Bulletin.

HAM ERlNG WILSON.

If all the evil things said of Mr.. Will
the half of them he would be i'm
peached, hamstrung and cut up into
mincemeat for the crows. What Won
derful tendency creates those hatreds
in the mind of mankind? Scarcely a
stand he has taken on the manage
ment of this war settlement or in the
conduct of the war itself has so far
failed to be justified. Every time his
critics peck at him he plays the wait
ing game, sits tight and awaits events.
Somehow his enemies are finally con-
founded or put to rout. AS between
party fealty and political sagacity,
there has been no wide variance
with Mr.. Wilson and his perform
ances. He must be almost superman
to stand up under the terrific drive
and strain he is under in his present
labors. No man ever had such gigan-
tic responsibilities. If he fails in the
peace negotiations it cannot be laid to
any door but that of the obstruction
lists. That obStructi0nists are block
ing his path at every turn is evident.
They proved themselves in the last
moments of the late Congress. How
far they will succeed at Paris no one
can tell. Certainly great obstacles
have arisen over there that make en-
tanglements the hourly thought. If
the world must go awry it cannot be
laid at the door of any RESPONSE
bility more certainly than the obstruc-
tionists. And if the world affairs ever
form themselves into any degree of
shipshapeness again Mr.. Wilson must
be given at least as much credit as
any one else.

LIEUTENANT COLONEL oUiGLEY

The record of DR.. Frederick James
Quigley. formerly Of Palisade, who en-
listed early in the war, is extremely
gratifying TO his many friends of this
section. DR.. Quigley went in for what
the service represented to the country
and proved his patriotism in manner
that is highly pleasing and to his cred
it. His first commission was that of
lieutenant From this he soon rose to
a captaincy, then to major and now to
a lieutenant colonel. 1t is a record of
which any man should be proud.

PALISADES CANDIDATE.

Palisade is distinctly honored in hay
ing its first candidate for a high off
cial of the state government of New
Jersey. Mr.. Mark NJ Dintenfas was
this week nominated at Newark for
governor under the platform of the
Single Tax party of New Jersey. Mr..
Dntenfas is a close student of this
method of taxation, and feels that it
is the only just system ever prOmul-
gated. 1t is interesting in this con-
nectiOn to know that many of the
biggest men in the state are gradual
ly coming around to the single tax
thought. Only this week Hon. Charles
O'Connor Hennessy made speech in
favor of the bill now before the house
at Trenton favoring the removal of
all tax on improvements above ground.
Mr.. DintenfaS has already had some
thing to say of interest i'll these col
umnS about his theories, and before
the campaign is over next fall Will
doubtless express himself more fully
and at greater length. That the theory
and practice of single tax is fast get
ting hold on Thoughtful minds every
where, is self-evident. One of these
days it doubtless will sweep the coun-
try from end to end AS subject in
practical politics of kind that gives
the home owner the big end of the
deal, single tax is all that the most
idealistic mind can conceive. We wish
Mr.. Dintenfas the compliment of an
increased vote over that he had last
fall when he ran for assemblyman.
He no doubt will get ii.

Movement . SeFIsas One.
Long more or less talked of. il be-
gins to look now as IL the new execu-
tive department and new Cabinet
member might be provided for in the
new Congress. The movement for a
department OF education undoubtedly
has great strength behind it, and
much will be heard OF il in the extra
session. Whether. indeed. a bill can
be passed in this Congress- il vet to be
determined, but II is at least certain
the movement for this new depart
nent is at last becoming a serious
one.
TO ReIntroduee Bin.
Congressman ToWner, who is the
second Republican on the House Com
nittee on Education. introduced last
session a bill for a department OF
education. He will reintroduce il
with some notifications in the new
Congress. Congressman Fess OF
Ohio is the chairman OF the House
Committee on Education. and is a man
10 full sympathy with educational
progress, having been q prominent
educator in his State before he en-
tered politics.
Pressure on Congress for the pas
sage OF the bill is strong II comes.
OF course. largely from educational
sources. The American Federation OF
Labor is also backing IL. 1t contem-
plates not only a new department of
education headed by a new cabinet
officer, q secretary Of education. but
that one of the chief objects of the
department shall be the promotion OF
Amsrlcanigm and the Wiping out OF
illiteracy. In the light Of the reveIa-
tions OF the war the need to give at
ttntion both to Americanism and
