A socialist society, if ever it proves
practicable, will not succeed in chang

make life easy. 1t will not produce an

failed to cope with life on the only
terms which are possible, or they re-
fuse to try. They demand life upon

We have an idea that the people oil
the United States want very much to
see created a league of nations but
the wiser ones also want to know how
the terms of the constitution of the
league are to be Interpreted. They
remember that it has taken more than
hundred years of interpreting by
American courts to bring our consti-
tuition to its present splendid form.
Every Interpretation was made by
Americans,
The constitution of the Society of
Nations is little longer than our
national constitution, and if its terms
are left to an international court for
Interpretation at least four out of five
judges--later it may be eight to nine

The people of the United States are
going to want some of the most vital
points defined before this country is
committed. Just little more time
for consideration and adjustment and
clear understanding may save us from
the horrors of a great war at no very
distant date.
Not only must we know how mem
bership in the league of nations will
affect the Monroe doctrine and how
it might apply to our tariff system,
but we should know whether a nation
could withdraw from the league, and
if so, how it would go about it. 1t
was thought by the southern states
that they could withdraw from the
union. There was a provision in the
resolution by the legislature of Vir-
ginia ratifying the federal constitu-
only with the distinct understanding
that the state retained the right to
withdraw from the union at will
But four years of civil war destroy
ed the doctrine of states rights.

unquestioned endorsement of the con-

PERSONALITY.

There are men who seemingly had
no remarkable equipment for bust
ness, but somehow they have achieved
marvellous results. 1t will be found
that in many cases this achievement
is due to those very subtitle qualities
grouped under the head of person
atty"
Take the simple matter of using
the telephone. Cali UP some men at
their office. and they answer in a
bored or listless manner. They speak
with their mouth away from the re-
ceiver in a tired or careless way.
Their voices sound far away, and you
feel they will be glad to get done
with you.
Others send back a CHEEKY "Yes?'
and go on to talk as if they were gfad
you had called up. You feel they like
to talk with you. and wish they might
hear from you oftener 1t makes a
difference.
The same characteristic is even
more apparent in personal contacts
Some men grasp your hand with the
pleasure a politician exhibits the day
before election. They are glad to see
you, and give the impression that
they want to do everything in their
power to please you and serve you.
They carry you along with their en-
thusiasm.
1t may be all for q selfish reason.
But still one feels more confidence in
doing business with a man who real
ICES thoroughly that he must interest
himself in the problems and needs of
the people whom lie serves. When
man can give that impression, that he
puts heart into his work and his bust
ness that he will go the limit to please
any patron, that man has a business
future. A man of that type is going
to make great many business
friends. If he is working in a factory,
or wherever he is employed, and tries
to meet with energy and enthusiasm
every demand made upon him, some
one is going to notice him and single
him out for promotion to broader
field.

JOHN SHELTON WILLIAMS.

The senate committee on banks and
banking is hearing charges against
John Shelton Williams, comptroller
of the currency, who has been nomi-
mated to succeed himself.
Mr.. Williams is charged with hay
ing used his office to wreaS venge-
ance on certain financial institutions
that were not friendly to him during
his fight a few years ago with Thomas
F. Ryan for control of the Seaboard
Airline railroad. In those days John
SHELTON Williams was a banker and
financier in Richmond. Va. He got
control of the Seaboard line, and, for
some reason. his rule was not popular
with either the stockholders of the
company or the patrons of the road
1t was an easy matter for Thomas
#. Ryan to wrest control from him,
though quite an amount of litigation
resulted before the matter was finally
settled. While this fight denied the
Williams fortune, it left him a rich
man still. When he sought and Sc
cured the appointment to the comp
trollership, which carries a salary of
only six thousand dollars and not a
great deal of honor, there was some
speculation.
But from the beginning of his term
in office. Williams has been in violent
conflict with a number of big banks,
and they charge that those banks
were in some way used by Thomas r.
Ryan in his fight with Williams over
the Seaboard. This may or may not
be true.
Bankers generally charge Williams
with being both tyrannical and in
competent. That he is a tyrant in the
use of, his position there can be no
doubt. That he should not be con-
firmed, there is also little doubt out
side of Mr.. Williams own mind and
his circle of pets.

THE SOCIALIST DREAM.

All of us would make life easier, if
to make life easier for ourselves pri-
marily and for others secondarily.
Some sacrificing ones think of others
first, and of themselves second, or not
at all. But the saving grace in most
selfish successful efforts is that they
do help others, that no man common
ly does well for himself without doing
something of advantage for others.
But the history of the race and in
dividual experience alike teach that
life cannot be made much easier.
Those who have ease are exceptional
whether they are fortunate is an
other matter. And even they have
their difficulties. If their difficulties
are little deferred, it is not for long.
The fact about life is that it is
hard, perplexing a battle from the
first to the last. Every man stands,
as it were. on slipping stones in the
midst of a rushing stream, and he

ing for longer or shorter time. but
finally slips. goes under, or dies.
The fallacy of socialists and others
of their sort lies in their notion that
life can be made easy, that there is
some necromancy that will relieve life
of it's difficulties, and let us all be
happy as kings We're supposed to be
before the war, as care-free as CLAIMS
at high tide Socialism, if it can be
made practicable, will be in disregard
of this sentimental fallacy and by its
ability sternly grapple with the under
lying fact of the difficulty of life. Its
partisans will have to depend not up
on rhetoric or logic or idealism or
illusion, but upon work, foresight,
sense. hardship.
No law can be made that will
change the realities. There must be
food and shelter and clothing and
fuel. Without all of these things the
human race would cease to exist.
These are necessities which grip us
all, and no scheme of organization
can abolish one Of them To get these
necessities take the bulk Of every
