SCHOOLBOYS

a FTER yesterdays performance by the re-
IL n publican majority of the senate foreign re-
ations committee, there can be no longer tht
verest vestge of doubt that this little grouI
Y of willfu men" is trying deliberately to wrecl
; the worlds hope of peace. Nine United States
nsenators voted so to amend the treaty of peace
with Germany that, in the event of the adoption
a of their amendments, the language of the treaty
dmust be changed in more than fifty places. That
would mean, of course, a reassembling of the
opeace congress and in all probability the plung-
Wing Of the world into a muddle almost infinitely
worse than the present one.
These senator's led by Mr. Lodge of Massa-
,chusettS are acting like schoolboys who have
lbeen punished and are determined to get even
with the teacher. If they cannot get even in
any other way, they will tear down the school
house or set it on fire and then stand aside and
enjoy the burning. They despise the teacher,
Woodrow Wilson, so much that they intend, if
they can to destroy the system of education.
These senators propose to eliminate : the
United States from participation in the settle
ment of problems in Europe, after this country
has spent twenty billions of dollars and more
than hundred thousand precious lives in try
ing to bring about reconstruction of Europe
which will ensure the safety of the United States
in the future. That, briefly stated is exactly
what their proposed amendments to the treaty
mean.
These senators, these overgrown but men,
tally under-developed schoolboys whom their
several states have sent to the senate, are today
the chief drawbacks, the principal stumbling
blocks, in the path of the worlds progress and
of the progress of the United States toward Sc
curity and prosperity. Their names today are
loud with kissing and contempt in the mouths of
men. Their names tomorrow, in the history of
the United States and of the world will be tar
nshed with the mdew of obstructionism. When
ihe world shall have gone forward glorously
along the highway of its destiny of moral and
spiritual evolution the names of these men will
be remembered only as examples, or rather
samples, of legislators who lacked the vision of
craftsmanship and permitted their partisan pre-
judices to govern their actions in moment of
supreme crisis.
In the earlier history of this republic there
was group of men, led by John C. Calhoun,
who set themselves against the manifest destiny
of America. Those men held that the United
States of America was not nation, that the
constitution was a mere arrangement for the
convenience Of the individual states, that each
state was sovereign in itself. 1t must be said of /

Calhoun, however, that he was thoroughly hon.
est intellectually, that his political motives were
pure, and that all his teaching which worked
against the common good was due to the fact
that he was a medieval fanatic somehow thrust
forward into the first half of the nineteenth CEN
tury. Calhoun couldn't hel it.
These senators, who adhere to the notion
that the United States should shut itself up in
its shell and have nothing to do with the rest of
the world, are making an error similar to that
made by Calhoun and his followers. Calhoun
taught that any state had the right to nullify
any law passed by the national congress which
was held by that state to be inimical to its in
terests His views tended toward anarchy.
These senators who voted yesterday to amend
the treaty are seeking to make the United States
act as Calhoun caused South Carolina to act
they are seeking to nullify an international
agreement for the mutual good of all nations
chiefly because they imagine, or profess to
imagine, that this nation will surrender its SOW
ereignty if it becomes party to that agreement
These senators have much less excuse than
had Calhoun and his group, for they live nearly
a hundred years later and have the benefit of
almost century of stupendous world progress
for their guidance. But they are Little Amer
icans too narrow of mental breadth and too
short of spiritual vision to measure up to their
high responsibilities.
In spite Of these spiteful few, the senate will
ratify the treaty, including as necessary part
the League Of Nations. This is conclusion vir-
tually foregone. These senator's who stand in
the path are aware of it themselves, and they
will be swept aside as rubbish when the full
tide of the American peoples opinion finds
action in the vote of the senate chamber. And
in the years to come their states will be ashamed
of them, and their own descendants will blush
because of such descent.

The Country Correspondent

One of the most important assets Of
well organized newspaper Is the
country correspondent. The general
reader pays little attention to them,
hardly realizing that there are such
persons connected with the paper, but
the fact remains that without the
country correspondent the newspaper
would be a flat and prosy thing.
These correspondents comb their re-
spective communities for the news

columns of the paper in an unpreten-
