HAMIET'S MYSTERY SOLVED

NtW I UTk TNtIlIIIB I USl.
A great mystery has been solved, no
less a one than that of Hamlet. A
contributor to The Bookman, bearing
the euphonious name of Moreby Ack-
Ion, clears up the dark secret in a sem
tence. Say Moreby:
Hamlet is neither mad nor pre-
tending to be mad-he is simply suf-
fering from an over-addiction to the
Demon Rum. and the whole play, un-
locked with this key becomes pro-
phetic prohibition DRAMA, even greater
and more far-reaching than Ten
Nights in a Bar Room This re-
moves the last doubt of Shakespeare S
genius.

KEEP 1T oUr~oF POLITICS.

It is going to be unfortunate If the
league of nations becomes a political
issue in this country. Let us discuss
the matter without regard to whether
this or that party will be benefited
bv adoption of the constitution pro-
posed at Paris, but wholly with refer
ence to whether it will help or hurt
our own country.
We have met many young men
back from the war The doctrine OF
internationalism has no attraction FOR
them, They have seen no country on
the other side of the Atlantic, Tor
which they have acquired any par
ticular love. They are purely United
states in sentiment, and they have II
firmly in their minds that they went
to war to make safe the future OF
their own country. 1t has a fine
rhetorical sound to say theN entered
upon crusade to rescue France ana
Belgium, but when you talk with
these men you soon learn that self
protection was what they fought for
and they want it so understood.
And, sentimental as the American
people are, their first concern is for
what is best for the United States. If
tho league of nations will best protect
the peace and prosperity Of America,
they are for it; if the future of this
nation will be better served by re-
framing with entangling alliances,
they want to go it alone.
This country wants to know what
it is going to he committed to if it be-
comes a member of the league of ma
tions. 1t is going to insist that the
terms of the proposed constitution
shall be defined IN advance of any
ratification by the senate.
No one questions the patriotism of
President Wilson, or his great ability.
But we all know Woodrow Wilson
has made mistakes on almost every
problem he has tackled. He has given
a positive solution, and published it
to the world, only few years later
to give another and opposite conclu-
sion with equal positiveness. Some
times he has been wrong in both, but
he never has been right in both,
though he may have been sincere in
both.
1t is not good for the country to
accept off-hand any mans conclu-
sions on any public question. lie may
be wrong-terrbly wrong.
A worshkful people accepted An
drew Jackson's verdict against a ma
tional bank, and permitted him to de-
stroy it, 1t cost the people of the Uni
ted States the loss of billions of dol
lars through failure of wildcat banks
and through panics and bank failures
and financial depressions.
The people permitted Jackson to
make a mistake for which the whole
nation suffered terribly
President Wilson's tariff policy is
wrong That it was ruinous to the
nation was being demonstrated when
the European war came on and gave
protection against the ravages of the
Underwood bill. The president can
be just as much mistaken regarding
the effect of the proposed constitu-
ton of league of nations.
Let us have such league, if we can
get a workable plan. But let us not
rush into the matter blindly. There
is no demand for haste,
