SOME THINGS THE MIAMI HEh.
AID CANNOT UNDERSTAND

In discussing the league of nations
the Miami Herd is frank enough to
say:
The Herald must confess that it
has been rather puzzled by the atti-
tude of various church organizations
with reference TO the league of ma
tions.
In the insistence of the supporters
OF the league that the question of its
adoption is a moral issue in this
country lies, in all probability, the
reason for the very general express
sion from various conferences, CON
ventiOns and synods of such church
organizations as have passed upon
the question of the adoption of the
league, favorably thereto.
I'm Detroit the representatives OF
the Episcopal church are Just now
assembled in triennial convention.
The convention is made up of the
bishops, clerical and lay deputies of
that conservative church. They are,
necessarily all picked men and rep
resent very high class OF inteIlectu-
atty and spirituality That general
convention is seldom stampeded into
hasty action, and hence it's unequiv-
local Endorsement of the treaty Of
peace as now written, without amend
ment or reservation is subject for
surprise, to say the least"
Well, how about the American Lee

ton, the Women's clubs and Fedora.
tions, the various local and state
camps OF Confederate Veterans, and
note the memorial to the United
State senate and ringing resolutions
passed without a dissenting vote by
the United Confederate Veterans at
the reunion held in Atlanta last
week.
The memorial and resolutions are
printed elsewhere In this paper to
which we direct the attention OF the
Herald.
We may be mistaken but we CON
scientiously believe that the best

WITHOUT AMENDMENT"

If our neighbOr the Sun wishes to
persist in its contention that the
Massachusetts Republicans. who in
their platform favored prompt ratifi.
cation of the treaty of peace without
amendment" did not thereby reb"ke
Senator Lodge. it will have to be left
to its own devices and to the iudg-
ment of it's readers who understan l
the English language.
We have quoted what the Republi-
cans of Massachusetts, said and ev-
erybody knows what Senator Lodge
has done He has framed amend
ments, argued in favor OF amend
ments and voted for amendments,
and by his dilatory tactics he has pre-
vented prompt ratification. The
issue against him is not more sharp
ly drawn at Washington than it was
the other day in the convention OF
his party at Boston.
1t is true that the Massachusetts
Republicans proposed various reser-
vations and that Senator Lodge now
says they are the same as amend
ments. This also may be left TO
those who have an acquaintance with
the dictionary and to others who re-
member that when the Senator intro
duced his amendments he said his
purpose was to send the treaty back
to the conference. No ordinary re
servation will do that, and he knows
| it.-Worl6.

The voice Of the South in matters
OF national import should be pOten-
tial for here is to be found the true
American spirit, for here it has not
been tainted nor corrupted by the
influx OF large. promiscuous popu-
lation from countries cursed by uR-
rest and dissenti0ns which have bred
socialism, bolshevism and anarchy.
The red flag of anarchy has never
been hoisted in any section Of the
South, its secret recesses have new
er harbored the dynamiter nor bomb
thrower.
Here was shown no 'sIackerism"
in the great world war. and all that
the flag symboli1es found here its
highest expression of loyalty and pa
triOtism.
The dauntless courage OF its
young men was shown in the rush to
arms and in unflinchingly facing the
foe in Flanders field and tho Argon-
ne forest.
If the unanimous adoption OF res
olutions of church conferences and
oonvocations OF all religious demon
nations state press and educational
associations. the American Legion
and United Confederate Veterans
Women's Considerations and other
organizations OF various kinds, voice
the sentiment of the South, then il

Mr.. RUDE Redding. living about
six miles south of the city, one OF
the best farmers and stockmen in
the county. is nothing if not optim-
fstic Having met him on the street
one day this week a representative
OF this paper casually remarked that
the weather was somewhat unusual
for this time OF the year. and asked
him if the farmers were not needing
rain. Mr.. Redding promptly replied
that 10 matter what kind of wealth
er we had ne was perfectly salts
fed: that when it rained it made
it good for his cattle, and when it
was dry it enabled him to save his
peavine hay and do other things
around the farm to advantage. That
to us seems the proper spirit for in
Florida there IS always plenty to do
regardless Of the weather conditions.

take advantage OF their opportuni-
ties as they were presented there
would be less cause for complaint

BOWED DOWN IN GRIEF

Shantung was wrested from China
by The huns during the Mckinley ad
ministration.
Lodge was then member OF con-
gress but it did not cause him TO
rend his garments.
Indeed, quiet followed the fall
of Shantung as ominous as the bur
ial of Sir John Moore.
Not a sound was heard-nOt a
heart was stirred. but when it was
wrested from the huns by the Japs
the republicans in the senate, led
by Lodge, go into lamentations worse
than those of Jeremiah, and the sen
ate is flooded with tears.
When those grave and reverend
senators reach for their pocket hand
kerchiefs and begin their "weeps

dren, taking them at the death OF
