ARTICLES XXII-XXV

Until this point the provisions of
the Covenant have dealt almost ex-
clusively with the organization OF
the League and the prevention of
war. Article XXI and the three
that follow are concerned with i'm
proving conditions in which the pco-
pie of many countries take, or ought
to take, an interest.
German Colonies
The first of these articles deals
with the races hitherto ruled by Ger
many and her allies and not yet
qualified to govern themselves. It's
object is two-fold. First to protect
and assist peoples on their way to
complete independence, to guard
them from dangers and guide them
while still inexperienced in the use
of popular government. During that
period they would be likely to make
mistakes which would expose them
to external and internal perils. The
second object is to prevent selfish
exploitation of backward peoples and
natural resources. The colonies were
won by all of the nations that helped
to win the war, and all have right
and duty to demand that the inhabi-
tants shall not be maltreated, and that
one of the victors shall not monopo-
lie to the exclusion of all of the
others any raw products essential to
the industries of the world.
These things are properly placed
under the control of the League; and
if so the plan of mandataries acting
under contract with the League and
rendering an annual report of their
stewardship to the council, with a
permanent commission to supervise
the administration, seems we'll devised
for the purpose. No nation need ac-
cept mandate unless it pleases, but
if it does so it accepts the trust under
the conditions prescribed by the Lea
que. The whole plan marks a great
step forward in the recognition of
the common responsibility of the civ
ilized nations for the weaker peoples
Of the earth; in contrast with the
principle of exploitation for the ma
tional benefit of those who can sue
coed in conquering and owning them,
or who can by purchase, bargain OF
force of arms, obtain a transfer OF
them from their former masters. Tc
establish the principle, to provide fol
inspection and publicity is a long ad
vance and may be expected to have
it's effect upon the government o,
all native races, whether under th'
control of the League or not.
international Responsibilities.
Article XIII carries the concep
tion of responsibility, instead of ex
! ploitation, still farther applying it t,
the conditions of labor, the treat
ment of native races the white slav,
trade, the traffic in opium and othe
dangerous drugs, the trade in arm
in disorderly regions, fair commercial
opportunity and the prevention of dis
ease. Every one familiar with tn

CVnicism.

We are reminded that resentment,
doubt and cynicism are so easily mis-
taken for the wisdom of disillusion-
ment that there is double reason
to guard against them. Many a hurt
soul fancies it is growing wise in the
ways of the world when in truth it is
only growing hard and bitter. An
acquaintance with mankind does not
mean merely learning humanity's seamy
side and being on guard against it. A
wider study will bring a far different
and more hopeful knowledge.

Ancient Admonition.

Thoughtless persons who insist on
talking during musical performance,
marring the pleasure of those who
would listen to the music, we have al
ways with US. 1t is curious to note
that this particular pest was already
extant more than 1000 years ago. In
the ancient book "Ecclesiasticus" we
read, "Speak, thou that art the elder,
for it becometh thee, but with sound
judgment, and hinder not music"

An ENGLISH BLIZZARD.

There was a certain Hercules en-.

English blizzard of 1886.
To spprec tate the role played BY
the Hercules some idea must b
given OF the effect Of the storm on
other methods of travel. Fourteen
mail coaches we're abandoned on as
many roads. Another was dug out
Of drifts FIVE times between Exetel

Another was buried so deep that
II took 800 men, principally sapper:
and miners. several hours TO make q
passage to the coach and rescue the
mails and passengers, while near
Chatham the snow lay TO a depth Of
thirty or forty feet, the military be-
ing turned out to the number OF
600 to clear the way.
In London the drifts were ten
feet deep, and hundreds of men and
carts were employed hauling snow
out to the fields in the suburbs. The
markets were in a bad way. One
day only four stall holders were
able TO reach a main market. Greens

dear, while penny handouts Of pars-
ley realized 9s. Cd, and the happy
possessor of a bunch which he had
previously purchased for ninepence
realized for his prize no less q sum
than El 9s. Sd.
Amid al this confusion the pio-
neer railways covered themselves
with glory by running trains almost
without interruption. There was Q
deep cutting on one line where the
snow had drifted badly, and great
numbers of people turned out to
see how the Hercules engine would
get alorg. They imagined, of course,
that she would be stopped, but TO
their establishment the engine dash
ed right into the drift, clearing
her way through apparently with
out the slightest difficulty, the snow
