LONG ISLAND CITY, n. Y, Sept
2S.-United States Senator Miles
lPoIndexter Of Washington yesterday
addressed a mass meeting Of Re
publicans Of Queens county. at Ivan
hoe Park, at a celebration Of the
'Gixty-ffth anniversary Of the or
sanitation OF the Republican party.
The Senator scored President Will
son as "the worlds worst menace,
and declared that radical labor lead
ers, following out WilsOnian theories
and suggestions for "the demOcrati-
zation Of industry now are seeking
% bring about "a dictatorship Of the
proletariat" with the final overthrow
OF republican form Of government.
Furthermore, Senator POindeXter
declared, instead Of opponents Of the
peace treaty and covenant being pro-
Germans and Bolshevists, as the
President has -averred in recent
speeches, IL was the President him
self who was the greatest pro-Ger-
man in the country. The President,
he said, had been forced into the war
against Germany by an irrestible
public opinion solely against his will
and had tried as late at 1918 to pre-
cipitate a negotiated peace and de-
feat the aims Of the allies.

The Senator said in part:
"The President is the worlds worst
menace. He stated, according to the
report hIed with the Foreign Re
lations Committee, that the effect OF
his speeches was the metaphysical

Bill, the Demon Enchanter of Hun
land.
They will have it that their swords
leaped from their scabbards to
svenge Edith Cavell and that the
tearing up of the scrap of paper,
now repudiated by the Belgians
themselves in the hour of their
triumph, was to them as the rending
of the veil of the temple.
All this is very silly and would
make Mr.. Wilson very ridiculous at
Versailles if he attempted to i'm
pose it on his allies there, much less
on the Germans.
The truth is, the foreign policy OF
the United States, like that of
Britain, of France, of Germany. of
Austria, of Italy, of Turkey, of Bull
garia, of Roumania, and all the other
belligerents, has been not a roman
tic policy but a policy of self-preser-
walton. AS such it will have to re-
main until the establishment of a
supernatural legislative tribunal
and police makes it possible for
nations to reject as the principle of
their foreign policy the one principle
that knows no law.

job IN getting news OF the Peace Confer

slammng of doors IN their face. They
ought, however, Ia bear two things IN
mind. One is that the Peace Conference
IS not staged primarily for their benefit.
The other is the old journalists rule, that
the greater the difficulty III getting news
the greater the skill and zcst III actually
getting it. On the main question, II yet
remains to he shown that a sinister Sc
crccy is to prevail at Paris The hrst

With what dizzing swiftness have the
Legislatures competed with one another
in the race to add this Article to the
Constitution Has this contagion or
consensus Of emotion and politics been
accompanied with an equal conviction
among the people, a corresponding una-
nimity Of public opinion? Have the
people had much to say about it?
Prohibition is not yet fact. The
mperfcction Of human nature may to
some extent interfere with its becoming
q general and absolute fact IN the United
States But the wet bad days are almost
over Ii is for the country and many

FOR A CHILD.

Let those who want In live alone and
spend their money on themselves,
Buy clothes that time and wear destroy,
or books that IDLE ON the shelves.
On boastfnl jewels which proclaim their
owners fondness of display.
We are all spondcrs on this earth
shopping for something day by day,
But they are happiest down here
best satisfied and rcconcied
Unto the role they play in life, who
spend their money on child.
Better by far than jewels gay, are little
eyes that shine with joy;
Better than bulging bank accounts it
is 10 own n girl or hoy.
Pink ribbons tied TO golden curls glow
far more brightly through the years
And are much richer ornaments than
diamonds in n wornans ears.
Here il Joy that MI may know, how
ever great or small his share.
Seldom Is any man Too poor TO give
a child a fathers care.
There is one way that man can buy
with money perfect happiness.
That IS to bc d father 10 child who
would be fathcrless;
To spend his gold, that one who came
to misery and want and woe,
Should have a fathers love and care,
and all the JOYS Of childhood know.
And when at last his journey ends,
whatever else he may have done.
He shall rejoice that he has helped
along lfe's road little ono.
