HEART -WRINGING MR.. WILSON,

The Presbyterian General Assembly
has heartily endorsed the League of
Nations. Yesterday at Boston the
American Unitarian Association passed
resolutions in support of the league,
amid scenes of unecclesiastical enthu-
siasm Like action would be taken by
every church gathering in the coun-
try. Labor organizations approve the
league. So do the farmers and the
masses of plain people throughout the
Middle West. Yet the Republican
leaders at Washington think they can
go on living in their fools paradise of
opposition to President Wilson in this
great matter. They do not seem to be
aware that they are making him a
present of an issue on which he can
appeal to the country and at once re-
store his prestige while discomfiting
them. This display of party stupidity
must be wringing the hearts of Chair
man Hays and all Republicans who do
not want to fall into a pit of their own
digging. York Evening Post.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents message read to
Congress last Tuesday was just such
Il document as might have been eX-
pected in the circumstances. Congress
is not Democratic now, so he put the
matter of national legislation up to
them, making certain recommended
tiOns he thought were proper and
leaving the rest to the majority party
This was typical of the man and was
in keeping with his policies of polit-
ical shrewdneSs. He has enough on
his shoulders at the moment trying to
put through an acceptable peace trea-
ty and the League of Nations, which
Jointly are to guide the future peace
of the world, and everything is now
SubOrdinated to that great effort,
which will undoubtedly be the great
est thing ever done for humanity in
the history of the world if it is brought
to successful conclusion And it will
no doubt be accepted, regardless of the
efforts of Senator Lodge to defeat it
by rejection in the senate.

painstaking care to make this achieve
ment possible, but it shows where the
American heart lies when facing great
problems of either invention or prog
ress in any of the sciences.
In connection with the attempts to
cross the Atlantic by airplane it was
most unfortunate that an Australian
fiier, Hawker, and his companion
Grieve. should have undertaken to per
form the impossible feat of crossing
in single engine plane while the
Americans were part way over. That
they have not since been heard from

URGES A TW0-MILE
zone FOR five CENTS

Newark, May 22.-Albert S. Richie,
an expert of the Public Utility Com
mission, who testified before that
body yesterday, advanced theory by
which trolley charges under zone
system could be modified by making
the first zone two miles instead of one
for the initial cent fare.
Mr.. Richie contended that the Pub
lie Services plan of making the first
zone one mile was too short. two
mile zone, he thought, while resulting
in an apparent lesser return to the
trolley company, would also assist the
Public Service to regain many OF its
passengers who are now using the Jlt-
neys or who would not pay the pro-
posed rate.
Under Mr.. Riches plan the Public
Service would get cents for the first
two miles, Z cents for four miles and
additional 2 cent charges for two mile
distances. He said this would result
in lower revenue than the estimated
$50, 100000 under the proposed plan.
In making a comparison of jitney
reports, prior to and after the inau-
guration of the cent fare, it was
shown that the company has suffered

publicans predominated. They could

praise of Mr.. Wilson's war messages.
Now that peace has come, he will dis
cover the horrors of party warfare.
The present Republican criticisms do
not allow inconsistency to impair their
vigor 1T is a demagOgic message"
cries one Republican senator, who i'm
mediately adds that it's entire program
of legislation had already been adopt
ed by the Republicans. They can safe
ly do it because they by definition are
not demagogues, but unselfish patri-
OTIS. Behind all the fault finding, how
ever, one fact stands out clear 1t is
that Congress perceives how great a
burden of responsibility and of work
is bound upon it's shoulders by the
President 1t may make grimaceS as
much as it pleases, but knows that it

COMPLIMENTS TO A LAWYER.

Perhaps the greatest compliment
ever paid to any advocate was paid
to Mr.. NJ. NJ. Mackenzie, one of the
referees of the High Court, who has
just died, by the Master of the Rolls.
the late Lord Esher. An important
case in which, as it happened, Mac
kenzie had no brief, was being argued
in the Court of Appeal by the attorney
general. The case involved a novel
and important point of law, and the
Master of the Rolls, interrupting the
attorney-general, remarked, 81 see
that Mr.. Mackenzie is present; per-
haps he can assist the court" Mac
kenzie instantly replied, "My Lord,
there is no authority at all upon the
subject in the English books. but there
is an American case, V. -,
reported in the Vermont Reports, and
also a case in Australia" and he pro-
ceeded to give elaborate details of
the cases from memory. Lord Esher

GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT
FOR MANKIND

Mr.. Wilson has failed if the masses
on his arrival in Europe looked to him
to write document of peace embody-
ing an immediate reconciliation, an in
Stant recognition of common RESPONSE
bility for the war and its pains. But
it is doubtful if among the throngs
which greeted him in Paris, London
and Rome there was such universal
expectation or even desire. In any
case, the President could not have been
long in the war capitals before per-
ceiving-if he was not aware of the
fact in advance-that policy of COM
plete and immediate forgive and for
get was impossible. And that is the
great justification of the league. In a
very real sense the treaty can only
sketch the outlines of permanent
peace. 1t IS for the League of Nations,
working in the years that bring spir-
itual recuperatiOn, to fill in the picture.
From Paris a special correspondent
writes to the Sun that "President Will
son prefers to be judged by the League
of Nations rather than by the peace
treaty" He might well do so. And
those around him see the truth when
they express their reservations about
the treaty, but uphold the covenant of
the league as a document which, if
the people support it, will be the great
est achievement for mankind. New

World Wednesday morning, says the
Evening Post, visualiZes the great
judgment at Paris in terms of the
Revelation of John, but it is hard to
piece together a concrete argument. Is
the treaty unjust? Harden enumer-
ates enough of Germany'S faults and
crimes to justify the peace terms, yet
he calls upon the judges in the hour
of their power to exercise self-conquest
Is the treaty a huge disappointment?
No: Harden sees in the document,
whatever may be its ultimate shape,
not an end but beginning, the be-
ginning of the internatiOnaliZatiO
and Specialization of humanity. Do
the peace terms spell Germany's ruin
No. Germany is fundamentally strong.
1t will be the moulder of it's own for
tune or misfortune 1t will survive
the most painful treaty. And again,
Germany now stands under a cOlos-
sal burden that will sorely press but
not oppress it." Yet there follows an
appeal: could Germany's annihila-
ton profit you, you Frenchmen of
humanity?' The answer is obvious.
If Germany is sure to survive, then
there can be no talk of humiliation.
But if it is a question of suffering and
d heavy burden, the answer may well
take up its share of the burdens and
the Sufferings which the war has
brought to all of Europe.

GAM BLING.

The world at present seems to be
going wild on gambling. There is
much of it everywhere. l suppose
the war has increased it temporarily.
Gambling has always been one of the
vices of armies, and ours, though it
escaped some ancient army vices, did
not escape this one.
Betting is also rife Not many golf
games now, not many whist games,
but have their small wagers There
is real distinction between gambling
and betting, as I am using the latter
term.
The law, for example, forbids gam
bling, but practically no effort is made
to curtail the laying of the friendly
wager. Gambling is playing games
of chance for the sake of gain and is
a misdemeanor. Betting is laying
wager, which is purely incidental,
while the game itself is the main con-
sideration. The distinction is really
mater of emphasis If the money
is the thing sought, we all admit that
the influence is degrading. If the
wager simply adds zest to the game,
then a great many good people con-
slider that no harm is done
1t will be observed Immediately that
betting may very easily degenerate
into common gambling. Indeed there
is always danger that it will. Many
will not make the distinction either,
and having begun with the one, will
readily step into the other.
But an appetite for gambling seems
to be inherent in human nature.
Let me suggest a field for it, legi-
innate avenue for it's expression: 9TH
bet 10 years of my life that l can
succeed as a lawyer" 'I'll bet five
years and 100000 that this corner
is good stand for a drug business''-
these are bets the like of which near
ly every man makes.
Here is another type: Donald Hank
ey said that religion was betting ones
life on the existence of God. If that
is to be used, the existence of God
must carry the implication of Gods
goodness, His interest in us and His
desire and ability to get into COM
municatiOn with us. But there is your
bet. A man bets on himself. too, in
religion-on his capacity to apprehend
God and in some measure to grow
like Him. In wider aspects he bets
on humanity as whole.
There are individuals that offer us
very tempting bets. Will you wager
some of your money and your pray
ers and your soul's blood that this
man will make good? How much will
you take on this woman's determina-
ton, on her chance to redeem her fall
en- nature, on her ability to cling to
God and right? What will you bet
on this boy?
Every day some imperilled argosy
challenges our sporting blood. Every
hour almost some plunge is offered
with the chance of winning crown.

on the human instinct of gambling are
