WE HAVE PROGRESSED.

Fifty-five years ago today what is
commonly kncwn as the thirteenth
amendment was submitted 10 the
United states senate. The amendment
reads:
Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude, except as a punishment for
crime. whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted, shall exist within
the United States. or any place sub
ject to their jurisdiction"
Fly proclamation President Lincoln
had abolished slavery in the states
that had rebelled, and in nearly all Of
the northern and western states slav-
cry had been abolished by state laws.
The senate did not act favorably on
the resolution until In the succeeding
April. and in the house of represen-
tatives it was rejected in June.
Through persistent appeals by Pres
ident Lincoln. the resolution finally
was submitted ana the legislatures OF

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
WHAT IT REALLY, MEANS
BY JOSIAH f. REED.

In yesterdays paper it was assumed
that the delegations from our asso-
ciate nations were not going to be any
too enthusiastic about a League of
Nations-that is, the kind of league
Wilson means. But there are strong
reasons besides those given yesterday,
why we may hope to get them to ac-
cept it,
In the first place, their delegates
are going to be guided more by pub
lie opinion than ever before in any
peace conference. 1t is becoming in
creasingly difficult to go against the
moral opinion of mankind. And there
can be no doubt that people every
where have been stirred by tie high
tone of Wilson's public utterances
They have believed in him.
They have seen for the first time in
history a great nation going into wal
without any Immediately selfish de-
signs. We have said from the first
that we desired no territory and nc
indemnities. The foreign offices OF
Europe can not understand this thing
But the common people can under
stand it. They are not trained to be-
lieve exclusively in the enconomic
advantage of their country. They have
ideas of justice that respond to the
right appeal.
1t is indeed hard to stir up ma
ton in purely selfish cause. Our
Mexican war was most unpopular.
The Boer war was unpopular in Eng
land. In. this war the leaders in
England did not talk of the need of
crushing Germany so much as they
talked of defending Belgium. The
issne was false Germany offered not
to go through Belgium If England
would remain neutral. And England
had been equally bound to defend the
neutrality Of Morocco and Korea.
She defended neither.
But the question of whether the
issue was false or not Is by no means
Important here. The point is that
the People of England We're reused
on q distinctly moral issue. The for
ci''n office paid them an unconscious
tribute when II figured one out. The

tribute was not to their intelligence
quite the contrary-but to their hon
esty and sense of fair play.
This sense of honesty and general
decency is about as strong in the
English people as 1t is among Amer
leans. 1t gets muddled sometimes, as
IN the case of ireland. But in general
1t can be relied on. And it is not
too much to say that the English
diplomats and those of the allies are
going to be mighty careful when it
comes to opposing Wilson's ideas.
The people of England and France
are grateful to Lloyd-George and
Clemenceau, and they have given
them an overwhelming mandate to
go ahead at the peace conference.
But If these men took course too
contradictory to that of Wilson there
might be trouble. There is no more
astute politician than Lloyd George,
and in the recent election campaign,
at the same time that he was calling
loudly for the punishment of the
kaiser, he was affirming his adher-
ence to the League OF Nations idea.
tie knew what the popular feelings
were.
That the popslar feeling in favor
u wilson and HIS policies Is very
strong in France and italy was evil
denced by the reception he has re-
ceivcd wherever he has gone. If the
peace conference is postponed, it may
we'll be because the foreign offices
feel that Wilson would dominate it
If 1t were held at present
AS for neutral opinion, there is no
room for dispute. Every little coun-
try in Europe is in favor Of League
or Nations, Their experiences with
alliances are not reassuring, and
they are quite ready to go in for any
scheme that promises equal iustieo to
small nations as well as. big,

wEDDEp TO THE OLD WAY.

1t comes to Americans with a per-
ceptible jolt that France has courte-
ously declined our offer 10 rebuild
her thousand demolished villages and
towns with American speed. with
American lumber and labor-and in
the American style of architecture.
To us belt of new towns from the
Straits of Dover to the Swiss border
would be the sure sign of new and
better days coming for old France.
But it seems not to strike the
French people that way, for they have
decided to rebuild their old towns
in practically the old way, with mar
row and crooked streets and huddled
stone and brick buildings that look
like the old ones.
To n live American. village where
the carpenters hammer is not heard
almost continuously is slow or dead,
and a slow or dead town has no
charms for the young American, The
fact that n town does not grow re-
fleets on its people, according to the
American way of thinking.
With this idea in mind the Ameri-
can soldiers have marched into French
towns that seem not to have had
new house in hundred years. Here.
for the first time for most Of these
American boys. are seen houses one
hundred, two hundred and sometimes
three hundred years old. There are
no such things where the American
soldier was born. In his town nearly
every house persisted with its owner.
When the American boy marries,
he nearly always moves into new
house, or if he inherits the old home
stead he tears it down or so remodels
it that his father would not know it
for the same.
But the French mind is not bent
that way. France as it is today was
born to conserve what the fathers
built. The French love the ancestral
home and the historic street He was
not born as we were, in the midst of
raw material, and our ambitions run
toward developing the undeveloped.

A SQUARE DEAL FOR THE MEN
AT THE FRONT
By Theodore roosevelt


We should show our respect for the
men at the front by more than mere
adulation. They are the Americans
who have done most and suffered most
for this country. 1t was announced in
the press that in many cases they and
the families they have left behind have
net for months received their full pay.
This is an outrage. All civil officials
are paid The secretary of war is paid
and he ought not to touch a dollar of
his salary and no high official should
touch a dollar of his salary until the
enlisted men and junior officers are
paid every cent that is owing to them
and this payment should be prompt.
There is literally no excuse for even
so much as three days delay in the
payment.
Moreover, these men at great cost
to themselves in paying everything in
Guiding, in fifty or sixty thousand
cases. their lives, have gone to the
front at a wage from one-half to one
NTH as great as that their companions
who stayed behind have received dur
ing the same period. They enlisted to
do a specific job They made the sac
rifice in order to do that job. We on
our side should see that Just as soon
as the job is done the men are taken
home, allowed to leave the army and
again earning their livelihood and
take care of the wives and children
that the married ones among them
have left behind.
Recently in the public press there
have appeared various articles and
chatty statements from the state, war
and navy departments that our men
might he kept in Europe to do gem
eral police work and might not be
brought back here until the summer
of 1920. There are three types of sol
diers on the other side. There are the
regular army men, who have entered
the regular army as profession, and
to whom it is a matter of indifference
whether they stay in Europe, come
bacl, here, go to the Philippines or do
anything else That is a small proper
ton of our force on the other side.
The bulk are divided between volun-
teers, who enlisted in the national
guard or sometimes in the regular
regiments to fight this war through,
and the drafted men who were put
into the army under a law designed to
meet this war and this war only Not

1t we would take some measure of
how far public sentiment has pro-

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED
PRESS
SATURDAY. 49,. JANUARY IL, 1919
THE PRESIDENT AND THE SEN
ATE.

Is il the duty of the senate. because
the president has seen fit 10 ignore II,
To remain silent, TO obliterate itself, IN
fact. during the prelimlnaries OF the
peoca conference? Should it be con-
tent to wait the complete text OF the
treaties before indulging in discussion
of points involved?
The language of the constitution
throws a clear light upon this point
Treaties are to be made by the presl-
dent by and with the advice and con-
sent of the senate" The time has not
come to ask the consent of the senate.
But how about the advice? II is the
constitutional adviser of the president
in such matters. How else, then,
shall it discharge the function than by
debate of the issues involved, when
no opportunity for an exchange of
opinions was permitted by the presi-
dent?
There are other ways than public
debate, and they have been always
used heretofore. Other presidents
have found it perfectly practicable to
seek the advice of the senate through
consultation with the committee on
foreign affairs. other presidents have
seen fiji on many occasions to call in
a few of the leaders of both parties
for consultation. During the entire
time Wilson has been president he
never has invited a republican sena-
tor or representative to the White
House.
If the president had shown the
slightest consideration for the respon-
sibilitics laid upon the senate by the
constitution, he might have avoided
whatever embarrassment he is now eX-
pericnc!ng in Europe. He could have
called in both republican and demo-
cratic leaders and pointed out to
them what he conceived to be the pol
icy to pursue and suggested to them
that it would be poor diplomacy to
lay all cards on the table in advance
of treaty conference, since "pitiless
publicity would lay him open to pos
siblc embarrassing attack.
These are some of the ways in which
former presidents have sought the adj
vice of the senate. before asking for
mally for its consent. But none of
thom has been used in preparing to
negotiate the most momentous treaty
in the life Of the American nation.
The president has acquitted him
self we'll thus far in his preliminary
discussions in Europe, He is voicing
with accuracy the moral convictions
of all the peoples. The single danger
that lies in wait for him Is too great
devotion to idealzation.
Some of us feel that the first thing
to be done is to make the peace set
tlement, in order to save the German
peoples chance to form sable gov
eminent based on government.
and to stop the little war among the
new states that have sprung up. ..
There is a league of nations now

MAKE GOLF BALLS
INSTEAD OF MUNITIONS
Firms Can't Keep Up With De.
mand--ShoWer Isle With
Millions Of Pills

Those who have been bcwailing the
setback that British golf has received
from the war will no doubt feel little
better after hearing about the remark
able boom which the game is enjoying
on the other side of the Atlantic ocean
these days and the way the manufac
turers are turning out golf balls. not
by the thousand or tens of thousands.
but by the million. 1t seems, in fact.
that the British output of rubber cores
at the present time rivals that for
munitions during the last years of the
great world conflict.
British manufacturers have informed
their clients that by tho early part of
1920 they will be able to make all the
golf balls that may be required.
1t is estimated that 100000 golf
balls are now being used in Great
Britain.
In the last twelve months one firm
has doubled its output for the twelve
months up to August. 1914. yet while
the latter supply was sufficient at that
time the firm has not been able to meet
more than one third of the present de %
mand for its makes. And this is said
to be typical of other firms which have
long produced popular brands of rubber
cores.
