LODGE AND HAMILTON

LODGE AND HAMILTON
q ENATOR HENRY CABO1
- LODGE is an able histor
ian and biographer
Among his writings is a biogra.
ply of Alexander Hamilton
The founder of the Federalist
party held about the same rela-
tionship toward the adoption
of the constitution of the Unit,
ed States that Mr.. Lodge holds
toward the League of Nations.
There were things about the
Constitution that Hamilton
didn't like, just as some of the
articles of the covenant of the
League of Nations do not meet
with Senator Lodges approval.
But Hamilton was big enough
and patriotic enough to give his
support to the Constitution s
adoption, and for that he is
praised by Mr.. Lodge in his
writings.
"Hamilton's confidence in
his own theory deepened and
his faith in the existing consti-
tuition declined. But when the
work was complete at Philadel-
phia, when he had put his name
to the compromise which he
had anticipated, and in which
he rejoiced, he gave his adher-
ence to the new Constitution
and the new SYSTEM" wrote
Mr.. Lodge.
Had he been an agitator,
or a sentimentalist of muddy
and high purposes, a
visionary and an idealist, he
would have stood up and howl
ed against this constitution,
which was not what he wanted,
and which fell so short of his
own standard. AS he was none
of these things, but a patriotic
man of clear and practical /
mind, he knew that the first J
rule of successful and benefi- !
cial craftsmanship was not to |
sulk because one cannot have |
just what he wants, but to take |
the best things obtainable, and |
sustain it to the uttermost."
Senator Lodge upon occa-
sions has declared for a League
Of Nations. He doubtless. .rea-
lies that its covenant cannot
be perfect in all things when
first drafted, but that amend
ments will become necessary
from time to time, as it be-
came necessary from time to
,ime to amend the Constitution.
Senator Lodge now seems to
forget that the first rule of sue
,essful craftsmanship it mot to
,ulk because one cannot have
lust what he wants." but to
AXE the best thing obtainable. /
Too bad Senator Lodge is not
Dig enough and patriotic
enough to earn the commenda-
ion he bestows upon Alexan-
Ter Hamilton.
Senator Borah may be right

He also had made some unfortunate

My mother was a quiet little home

In the national platforms OF the
two great parties in 1916. no less than
in the speeches OF acceptance of the
candidates. there appeared to be every
reason to assume that when the pro-
ject of world peace was fairly launch
cd 1t would be received with the har-
moniOus acclaim OF the congress and
people OF the United States. without
distinction of party. The sequel has
been perhaps the sorriest exhibition of
politics that the records OF the United
States senate can show. and the most
inoxcusable effort in all the annals of
American partisanship to snatch from
the president fame he has earned by
addressing himself to the greatest en-
terprise OF our time in the spirit and
temper best calculated to assure its
success.

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BY MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am twenty
years old, have been going with
young man one year my senior for
two years and seven months. During
that time he has grown to love me
and has given up everything that
have asked him to. 1 told him 1 re-
turned his love and thought 1 did.
However. not long ago 1 was with an
other young man, and altho he is only
a friend. he made me think that was
too young to settle down to one boy.
know that l do love the first boy,
but 1 also know that 1 don't love him
as he loves me. 1 have tried to tell
him so. but that isn't the easiest thing
in the world to do. He says he'll wait
until do know, but he does not want
me to be with anyone else.
Ny parents do not like my friend,
and 1 know that it is for no other
reason than that he goes with me. 1
don't feel that they are treating either
him or me right in the matter, for my
father will hardly speak to him. They
acknowledge that they have nothing
at all against him, but that they lust
dislike him.
What would you advise me to do -?
ANNE.
You must not try to force love, be-
cause to do such a thing is impossible.
, Insist upon breaking your engagement
with the young man so that you will
be free to go with others too. You
have not said that you are engaged.
but your relationship amounts to the
same thing.
1t is true that the young man will
be hurt if he loses you. but he will
get over it and will be happier in the
end than If you keep up your present
relationship.

The United States seems likely to
become. in the near future. the chief
coal exporting country OF the world.
altho our country ranked third among
the coal exporting nations in the year
Immediately preceding the war. Re
ports from Great Britain. formerly the
worlds chief coal exporter, indicate
that her expectations of coal in the
year ending with June are but one
half that of the year preceding the
war. while our own coal exports have
meantime increased over Is per cent,
making the United States for 1918 a
close second to Great Britain, with a
prospect that our total in the fiscal
year just opening will materially ex-
coed that of Great Britain. Coal ex-
ports from Great Britain, according to
a statement by the National City bank
OF New York, have fallen from 73. 400
900 tons in 1913 to approximately 81
oOo,o tons in the twelve months end
ing with June 1919. while our own ex-
ports which were a little over 10000
900 tons in the fiscal year 1914 were
nearly 100000 in the fiscal year
1918.

SANDRA MEETS EVERETT
GRAHAM.
CHAPTER I.

I always had thought it a terrible
thing for girl not to be the first in
a mans affections. To be u second
wife seemed like having a warmed
stead of food that was warmed over
and served in tempting fofm.-so
tempting often that the camouflage
wasn't even noticed.
I was only eighteen when Everett
Graham asked me to marry him.
Eighteen-with all that it, in a small
town girl, implies of ignorance. of in
nocence. and of lack of adaptability.
Everett was just forty-one. He had
been widower two years.
That age and youth-even age as
typified by forty one-were intoler-
ant of each other 1 had no slightest
idea. 1t was one of the many things

insists they will not mix no matter
how we try to amalgamate them.
Everett seemed crazy about me the
very first time we met. At least
thought so. 1t was at a lawn tennis
game. He was in our town on bust
ness, and had been invited to the
party, because he was friendly with
Lulu CARROTS father. 1t was Lulu's
party.

He had a branch office in Lake

me; and as constantly found me will

was nearly as old as father. and such
thing as marriage did not enter my

He sent me flowers and books.
When he found that 1 was an omniv-

near by. Then he never appeared
where 1 was without a box of bonbons,

Persons who complain of high prices
should not forget that on a basis of
lower prices payment of our war debt
would become much more burden
some. Lower prices mean dearer
dollars. The war debt was contracted
on basis OF cheap dollars. 1t must
be paid in kind or the burden may
easily become too great to bear with
out cntailing serious hardship upon
a large number OF persons. The future
welfare Of every citizen demands that
he get and hold all the dollars he can
while they are cheap, because when
prices of labor and commodities be-
gin to decline, which they may do at
any time, the value of these dollars
will be enhanced. All can remember
when dollar was so valuable that it
would purchase twice as much as It
will today. II such times ever return,
the owner Of the present day cheap
dollars can readily see what such pos
session will mean to him. Out of the
high prices received by everybody who
has anything to sell something should
be saved. A dollar saved now may
be worth two in a few years not to
mention the interest which it now
commands

The Passing of Mike Malone.

And Mike still stands behind the bar,
With heavy paunch and jowl,
Stuck in his breast a diamond pin
And Ger his arm towel;
While row on row the gOblets stand
In glittering array,
Like doughboys at attention,
Up and down the long buffet.

From the mighty Of the land
For Mike to chuck his hard stuff;
So he runs a soft drink stand.
Now beardless boys who never dared
To enter Michael's shop
Walk boldly in and order up
Their ginger ale and pop.
The children coming home from school
Rush thru the swinging door
To buy their ice cream sodas
And play marbles on the floor.
Come. Michael man, cash in your chips;
You hold a losing hand.
You never were cut out to run
An ice cream soda stand.
