THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
WHAT 1T REALLY MEANS
BY JOSIAH Il. REED.

The peoples of the world have de-
cided to have a league of nations. A
constitution has actually been drawn
up, and accepted by the allied ma
tons as a basis for discussion, and
the debate is on. It's going to be n
great debate. Nobody can escape it,
And the sooner we take our coats off
and get into 1t, the better.
There seems to be two types of
criticism of the proposed covenant.
The first type is destructive merely,
and would apply alto any constitution
that might be suggested. The second
type, though in some cases intended
to be destructive, is nevertheless on
the whole constructive; because by
pointing out mistakes in the cove
nant ii shows ways to improve 1t.
The first type of criticism is repre-
scented in the senate by Borah, Reed
and Pondexter. They shout loudly
about giving up our sovereignty,
about abandoning the sacred policies
of Washington and Monroe, about
submitting our government to tho
domination of European and Asiatlc
powers.
Well of course. If we join a league
of nations our national sovereignty
will be to some extent interfered

the same thing happens. And of
course, we can not belong to a league
of nations and maintain our Isolation.
But since events have shown that we
cannot maintain our isolation any
| how it seems a little out-of-date to
talk about that. And as for submit
! ting our government to the domina
| ton of European and Asiatic powers.

of course, be outvoted by the other
nations So would England be out

danger that they will unite to pick on

Look at the matter once from the
/ point of. view of japan. Must she not

races will unite against her? And If
| she tries some meanness against
tChina, why the world ought TO unite
| against her. So if we try some mean
ness on Mexico, the world ought to
unite against u.s. And when we come
to our senses we'd be glad the world

EDUCATION OUR HOPE.

This world seems to be challenging
too strongly the protective hand of
providence remarks Secretary of the
Interior Lane concerning Americas
neglect of primary education. Mr.
Taft once said: God is kind to ba-
bies, drunkards and the United
States" But reliance upon our i'm
munity and good fortune TO protect
us against our own negligence can he
carried too la
Some states have not the DISPOSE
ton to do their whole duty by their
children in the way of education
Some states have not the means. or
think they haven't, And communities
differ as do states.
The American common school has
been a glory TO our country. 1t is SUI
perior to the education of many an
other nation. But it has become in
adequate to the enormous present
task. 1t behooves the country as q
SELF governing republic to be all liter
ate. And it is the right of every
child born here to be literate.
This need and this right are not
measured by comparison with popu-
lar education in England or France,
but BY our own area and population.
And to be able to discharge the whole
function of education requires a fed
lon aptV nf nIn n
full Americanization of education.
The present inadequacy IS demon
strated by the facts and figures pre-
scented by Mr.. Lane, and is notorious
besides. The only competent power
to deal with this insufficiency is the
federal government.
That we shall cease our national
habit of trusting rather to providence
than to keeping our powder dry, may
| be too fond q hope. But we can af-
| ford, perhaps at a bitter cost some
day, to continue to be careless in
many respects, provided we take pre-
! cautions TO give all our people the
means to be intelligent Chose means
are common school American educa-
! tom and to make all our people
Americans, speakers and users of tho
English language, cherishers of Amer.
| lean sentiments and ideals.
| If our people are a spiritual, psy-
Geological, lingual whole. we cal
meet and resist any shock. But If VIC
disintregate regionally and laterally
no power of arms and economy may
suffice to keep our liberty. unity ant
prosperity.
What we need today is a robus
naticnalsm. We do not need the as
sistance of any other nation or comb
nation of nations. We are not in po
sition to lend any part of our strength
to other nations. We are not calle'
upon to allow other nations to modif,
our form of government or becom
weasels, sucking the blood of our ma
tional life.

MAKE TT NON-PARTISAN.

The city commissioners have issued
q call for the election of members OF
the city school board.
During the past six years the school
boards of the city have been noml-
mated by non-pa partisan mass meetings,
and for the good of the city's children
that policy should be continued.
The schools of Albuquerque have
been managed wonderfully well. The
buildings erected have been handled
economically. the teachers employed
have been competent, both as to edu-
cation and tact. Not one of them has
lacked in the enthusiasm that IS so
essential to success
But the whole matter may be
summed up in the fact that there IS
no complaint regarding the admins
tration of the citys schools from any
standpoint. The personnel of the
board has changed considerably since
the first partisan election. 1t is
possible that some of the present
board members do not desire to serve
longer. on that point the Journal is
not advised But if the members
whose terms expire this year are will
ing to continue to serve, it would be
wise for the city to continue them in
office.
In any event. there should be a
mass meeting of the citizens called,
as has been the custom for several
years, a partisan ticket should be
put up and the people of the city
should see to it that such ticket is
elected

WHY NOT A JOINT DEBATE?

1t is the solemn duty of every
American to study with all the powers
of his brain the proposed league of
nations. He who fails to study the
subject with a view to determining
what is best for this country-study
it entirely without regard to what any
man or newspaper may say for or
against it's recreant to his duty as
a ctizen--a sovereign citizen--of this
republic.
If he comes to the honest conclu-
sion that such league should be
formed, he should favor it, regardless
of what any other man may say or
any party may declare.
If he honestly believes that this
country should not enter such league,
he should oppose it.
Ii he honestly believes in a league
of nations, but that it should be so
constituted as to reserve American
rights and traditions, as American
rights and traditions are not safe
of the league brought from Paris to
this country by President Wilson, he
should insist upon proper definitions
and restrictions of the powers of the
league. .
\ society has been formed in Albu-
querque for the study of the league
of iratons question, and it is the pur-
pose Of that society to get the best
thought on the subject. The Journal
suggests that Joint debate between
men of character and brains would
bring 1bout the best results.
Advantages of Debate.
IT Is easy for man on either side
to set up a straw man and knock
him down. When Mr.. McAdoo came
here Tuesday, he delivered a speech
that was without the slightest value,
because it was quite evident that he
had given no thought to the subject.
He assumed that the proposed league
of nations was being attacked. where
as the only attacks have been upon
the proposed constitution of such
league.
An opponent, in only few words
would have shown the faultiness of
Mr. McAdoo's premises. But, unan-
swered, his utterances carried a GER
tain amount of authority because OF
the high positions he has. held. Back
OF him is a proud record of achieve
mort. But those achievements would
not have been possible had he done
his rlanning without thorough inves-
tieaiiCn and clear thinking. Bot1

largely gone out of use, and if the

of the question it must be by reading

Lincoln Douglas Debate.
The Lincoln Douglas debates were
epoch making in American history.
The question had its root in the probA
lem of slavery and had to do imme-
diately with the right of slave-hold-
ing immigrants to carry their slaves
with them into non-slave- holding ter
ritory. In their opening debate at the
Illinois state fair in October. 1858,
Douglas said it was an insult TO the
emgrants to Kansas and Nebraska to
say that they We're not capable Of
governing themselves. to which Lin
coin said in reply:
I'VE must not slur over an argu-
ment of this KIND because il happens
to tickle the ear. II must he met and
answered. / admit that the emigrant
to Kansas and Nebraska is competent
to govern himself. but I deny his
right to govern any other person with
out that persons consent
The phrases, league of nations, and
league to enforce peace, tickle the
ear, as does the statement that "all
men are born equal" but definitions
are required before they can become
premises from which it is safe to
draw conclusions,
A league of nations, in which hui
mainly shall be safe from the alarms
of war; in which every human being
shall be able to live in peace and COM
fort on equality with every other in
dividual, is merely the Pigment of a
dream. It is a great dream, but a
dream beyond the power of realiza-
ton.
Our Own land Enough.
What is the use of dreaming dreams
for Europe, or somewhere else, when
we can dream dreams of America, our
own land right here? Dreams of
AEltIICH are So llllllltllSSiy lllOle HidC-
teal. Great as Europe. this side of
Russia and the Bankans, is, it is after
all so hopeless. so boggled down in
the past, that it hasn't the capacity
for transformation, metamorphosis,
sublimation. 1t has too much history
in the past, its load is too great its
people have not the adaptability.
But anything is possible for the
United States, free from entanglins
alliances. Here engage all the aspira-
tons we can summon. all the energies
we can muster, all the adventure he
can mobolize. Here will occur the
millennium of earthly hopes--here
or nowhere.
Thus far we have worked out our
own salvation, independent of the will
of other nations. Why should we
voluntarily subject ourselves to the
will of other nations now?
