Senator Roral is so impressed by
Elihu Roots letter to Chairman Hays
that he says that If Mr.. Roots Sug-
geStionS were adopted l might be
tempted to vote for the League" The
Root amendments do not differ much
in principle from the Taft amend
mentS: vet Senator Rorah recently ac-
cuSed Mr.. Taft of trying to make the
United States Il vaSSal of Great Brit
ain and of aiding George Y to re-
cover what George III had lost" Be
fore the constitution was ever sub
mitted for public discussion Senator
Rorah announced that he would not
vote for League of Nations if the
Savior of Mankind himself supported
it. Now he is willing to vote for it if
the Root amendments are adopted.
And it is reported in Il dispatch from
Paris that all the Root amendments
are acceptable to the American dele
gates.
What has happened to change the
senatorial mind is very apt. The gen
tlemen who set forth bravely to run
for President by beating Mr.. Wilson
on the issue of the League of Nations
discovered that the votes were on the
other side. Being practical and ex-
pcrienced politicians with no fOndneSS
for minoritieS. they began to devise
means of getting back on the other
side and are prepared to find il bridge
may be made in the provisions Of the
GTigillal covenant.
+ SO far as the Republican senator's
are concerned. the attempt to make Il
partisan issue of the League of Nations
has failed completely. The country
would not have it. The Republican
rank and file would not have it. 1t
soon became evident that the League
had as many Republican supporters us
Democratic supporters, and that the
| Republican advocates of it could not
he read out of the party. If they Were
there would be no party left.
No doubt. our Republican friends
| will take the credit for whatever
changes are made in the first draft OF
| the covenant hy the Peace Conference
and we shall hegrudge them none OF
the satisfaction that they can Obtail
from their claims. They might have
had much stronger case if the sena
tors who signed the Lodge round rohil
had held Il definite set of amendments
and stood by them. instead of refuSin:
to make suggestions. But there the
senators failed. and other eminent Re
pulelicans took advantage of the op
pGrtunity. The really constructive
work of criticism was done not by Re
lN1hlicans in Office ~hut by Republicans
in private life. 1t is they who hav,
been the real leaders of their party
and it is they who have saved it from
political and moral bankruptcy.

Mr.. Vino. Cervinka, editor of
a big daily paper in Prsgue, Bo,
helnia, lectured on conditions in
Bohemia Tuesday at this place.
During his discourse many things
came out how the rotten Austrian
government, composed of Ger
mans. and Hungarians prosecuted
people in Bohemia during the war
and robbed the country of every
thing. He came to this country
about fourteen days ago with
three other editors for the pur-
pose of thanking the Americans
of Bohemian descent for their aid
during the war and to study the
conditions here under our form of
government. Mr.. Cervinka said
that the Czecho-Slovak state is a
small island, fguratively speaking
in sea of storm and unrest. On
all sides there are revolutions and
bolshevism, but the new Czecho-
slovak republic has maintained or
der and all it needs at present is
ood until the first harvest. The
Germans and Jews in Bohemia,
contrary to their prewar behavior
do not open their big mouths and
have cut out their usual AFRO
gance. Mr.. Cervinka left for Chi
cago Wednesday and while here
was the guest of Rev. Father Chu
dacek. g.. .-.... ... ...~ ,.

it is necessary now more than ever
