WILSON'S ERROR

President Wilson has Numbered
hugely in recommending that Con
gress remove the statutory ban on
the manufacture and sale of wine and
beer which was to have gone into eI-
feet July l. The policy of having
dry country after July has been de-
termined upon, and President Wilson
himself issued the order which places
the country under prohibition after
that time. Having committed itself
to the policy, the government ought
to adhere to it, otherwise its dignity
suffers.
In the natural course of events, a
repeal act of such Importance and far
reaching effect could not be showed
through Congress in such short time
in face of the strong opposition it
would be sure to receive II it were
not put through before that time but
Succeeded later, there would be a
short dry period, then a short wet
period till Jan. / when it would go
dry again because Of the prohibition
constitutional amendment Not a
very dignihed nor beneficial program
Such a shifting policy would dis
credit the intention Of the govern
ment to have real prohibition in the
future The repeal Of the ban on
beer and wine would be interpreted
everywhere as a triumph for the
whisky and brewery interests and q
moral blow to the constitutional
amendment
/ But there is SO much prohibition
y strength in Congress that there is moi
I much likelihood OF the ban being re
pealstl and so the government will
d be savei from the uhdignihed, vacil
IlatinG position which would be
brought about by following the Presi
dents recommendation slsl2 9p

Take ,,d n Or Leave It.


we are now told that il the United
States does not promptly ratify the
peace treaty. League OF Nations and
all, dis country will be under a seri-
GUS handicap in comparison with 9th
er powers in resuming trade relations
with Germany This arsises from the
deveIopment--new 10 US on this side
of the Atlantic. this provision not
having been made public before-that
ratification by Germany and three Of
the principal associated powers. will
bring the treaty into effect between
the ratifying powers. This looks like
another part of the plan to bulldoze
tho country into ratification without
sufficient time being given to examine
and test II to see whether we want 1t
or not. All along Mr.. Wilson has
taken the attitude of take 1t or leave
it." feeling fully confident that we
would have to take it and could not
afford to leave It. For this purpose
the League of Nations covenant was
so iIrterwoven into the peace treaty
that he hoped il could not be olsen
tangled. 1t Is a method Of procedure
that does not appeal to the fair play
instinct. There are two elements in
this peace That which settles the
war. and that which looks to the flu
ture. Why cannot each one be consid
cred by itself? The answer is that
Mr.. Wilson did not want II to be so
because Of his fear that this country
would accept the war settlement and
not The league, so to protect the
league he entangled it with the war
settlement. II is pretty piece OF
very practical politics. which is all
that can be said of lt.--St. Adams
Messenger.

SUBSTITUTE FOR ROYAL ARMS
Placing of Cap and Bells on English
Paper Was the Origin of the
Word "Foolseap."

Several explanations have been Civ
en- of the meaning OF the word "fools-
cap" as applied to a certain class OF
paper. One of the explanations is that
when Charles / of England found his
revenue short, he granted certain priv
heges, amounting TO monopolies. and
among these was the manufacture OF
paper. the exclusive right 10 which
was sold to certain parties, who grew
rich and enriched the government at
the expense of those who We're Obliged
TO use the paper. At this time all
English paper bore, in waterlnarks.
the royal arms. The parliament under
Cromwell made a jest OF this law. and
among other indignitIes 10 the MEM
DRY of Charles il was ordered that
the royal arms be removed from the
paper and the fools cap and bells be
substituted. These were in their turn
removed when the Rump parliament
was dismissed. but paper for the size
of the rarliament's journal still bears
the name of 'foolscap."
