Politics First, Then Craftsmanship

The treaty of peace. with the league

lar approval. we believe, and of the
elevation from which he kicks. And
then through it all he has had the
initiative. After his contemptuous

and, whether wisely or not, the dis

Our Sovereign Rights.

In indianapolis President Wilson
spoke of article Y of the league of
nations covenant by which the United
States and all other member nations
undertake to respect and preserve
from, external aggression the terri
pendence of all states. His words
were:
You have heard it said, my fell
low citizens, that We are robbed of
some degree of our sovereign and
Independent choice by articles of
that. sort. Every man who makes
choice to respect the rights OF his
absolute sovereignty, but he does
it by promising never to do wrong.
and, l cannot, for one. see any
thing that robs me of any inherent
right. that l ought to retain when
1 promise that 1 will do right.
BY way of illustration we might
suggest that two neighbors. when
lands, rob themselves of their Sow
ereign. right" to encroach upon and
steal a part of the others property.
The highwayman also is Eobbed of his
sovereign right" of relieving some
lonely wayfarer when an ofhcer OF
the law arrests him and places MIN
behind the bars. In the same way
the assailant of women and all the
other humans that prey are deprived
of their Sovereign rights" when they
are stopped and incarcerated by some
agent of the law.
it is just such robberies of "sover.
eign rights" internationally as should
make. the league Of nations an in
strument that is it's own Justification.
Those whose duty it should be to pre-
vent crimes of either individuals or
nations we hardly think, would com
plain at any loss of rights or privi-
ieges. AS a matter of fact, they are
thereby entitled to assert their SOW
ereignty in this matter of sovereign
rights."-Memphis Commercial APP

Press Comment on Presidents Tour.

margin of decision to be exercised
somewhat at the personal discretion
of the executive. The omcial is
chosen to act on general lines. When
sharp issue arises as to winch the
electors are divided. he must try to
ascertain the wishes of the majority
as best he can, unless some method
is provided for counting noses.
In the present case the chief ex-
ecutive is going farther. He has
made up his mind what the desirable
policy is. and. confronted with the
opposition of other popularity chosen
officials. is appealing over the heads
of these officials to the public opinion
of those who chose them.
Three years ago he adopted SIM
liar stratagem in his campaign for
military preparation. Two years ago
he employed the same method to sep
arate the German government and the
German people. and he was in a very
large measure successful Within the
past year he intimated that he would
be prepared to appeal to the public
opinion of the allied countries over
the heads of their governments on
tation of the peace treaty. He has
had plenty of experience in this line.
All this betokens something which
is probably more significant than any
of us realize. Some point is in dis
pute. Rulers disagree. Then one of
them has bright idea. To carry
his point he will consult directly the
people with whom rests the final ad-
thoyity.
Time was when rulers were not so
fussy. A time may be when this new
expedient will be viewed in retro
spect as the beginning of a new or
der or thlngs.-Boston Globe.

Hearing From the People.

When President wilson's train stop
ped at Dennison,: Ohio, an old man
went up to the observation platform
He shook Mr.. Wilson's hand and said:
IT wish you success. I lost two sons
in the war; only got one LETT, and
want things fixed SO 1 won't have to
lose him."
It is safe to assume that the
unnamed old man spoke the sentiment
of the people of the country, of the
world. They haven't analysed article
X minutely.. They haven't examined
the treaty in the light of social sci
ence. That isn't their business; at
least, has not been. But it has been
their business to furnish the human
material Of warfare. And they want
things fixed" so they won't have to
any more.
It is up to the governments of the
world to fix things. IT is up to them
to utilize the league of nations to
prevent the rankings left by a none
too perfect treaty from developing
into another world war.-Detroit

Cool to the President.

The GOODNESS of the reception to the
President in Kansas City Saturday
was in marked contrast to the well
come he received on his prepared
ness" tour before the war. The side
walks were not thronged in the usual
way and the lack of applause was
noticeable Convention Hall was fill-
ed. as it always is on such an occa-
sion But the audience was polite and
respectful. not demonstrative.
1t is not recalled that any President
within a generation has received so
mild a gree citing to speak conserva-
tively-as Mr.. Wilson.
The reason is apparent. The people
in this part Of the country do not
look with favor on the proposal to
bring America into all the quarrels
of Europe and Asia. The freedom OF
action which their fathers handed
down to them they propose to hand
down to their children. Sentiment here
has set strongly against the league
of nations.-Kansas City Times.

Put Up or Shut Up"

The Presidents challenge to the op-
ponents of the league in his Indian
apolis speech to put up or shut up"
seems to us hardly fair. The Presi-
dent has objected to amending the
treaty even to the extent of dotting
an 81" or crossing a It" What would
he say if his challenge were accepted
and an entire substitute were offered
Besides we are not in sympathy with
that old piece of dialectics to take the
effect that an objector to one propo-
sition must propose another. an enemy
to one remedy for social disease must
offer another. The doctor at the con-
sultation has done a service il he es-
tablishes that the medicine proposed
is poison and will prove fatal. 1t
would be folly to administer the
deadly dose merely because the OBJ
jecting physician could not think of a
substitute for the poison. Those who
fight the league of nations say it is
poison so far as it's effect on our con-
stitutional system is concerned. If
they can prove that we will do we'll
to put it aside.-New Haven Register.

CONGRESS TO VOTE ON FINANCIAL REWARD
IN GRATITUDE TO MEN WHO WENT TO WAR

who stuck to their job, no matter
what hardships they encountered,
to the end ought to get a monetary
reward greatly in excess of that
given to civilian war workers.
The soldiers who don't know why
the so-called $40 bonus was given
to federal employees jump at the
conclusion that it was given as
bonus to those in the government
service who were protected against
the hardships Of warfare. and that
as against this the soldiers, who
dared all and suffered all, got but
$780, They ask: why the dis
: elimination"
The leaders in Congress point out
that this $40 was not really a
bonus, but an increase in salary
in twelve equal installments, and
if at any time the employee left
the service the increase would
stop.
Chairman Good of the House ap-
preparations committee points to
the action taken by the state con-
vention of the American Legion in
Des Moines as Indicating the atti-
tude of the soldiers themselves on
this proposition. One Of the reso-
buttons adopted was in expressing
already granted, but willing to
take more "if Congress wants to
give it to u.s."
This American Legion has a ma
tional convention in Minneapolis
on November II. The members of
Congress believe that the legion Is
sane and sensible and is develop
ing along stable lines. There is a
disposition which amounts to an
agreement Of the majority to await
the action of that convention with
respect to the congressional bonus
proposition before taking that mat
ter up for action in the House:
But this does not mean that Con-
gress is going to delay until that
time to do anything for the soldier.
Other Legislative proposals will be
considered in the meantime. The
republican majority in the House
will take up the soldier reward as a
party matter. Inasmuch as the
Mondell bill has been set aside by
party caucus. it is fair inference
and the direct testimony Of House
leaders confirms this-that what
ever action for the soldiers 10 taken
will be decided upon before long

1t is an occasion for plain speaking.
It is time for the American people to

Can it be possible that the war end

wives of Americas fighting men?
Does any American really regret that

to give up their lives than most peo-
pie anticipated?

Int in some substantial way to

tive Simeon D. Fess and Repre-
sentative Scott Ferris, who are
chairmen, respectively, of the re-
publican and democratic congress
sional campaign committees and
other leaders on both sides OF the
House have pledged Congress to
such action.
The apparent delay of, Congress
in taking definite action has been
due to a desire to determine In
what form Uncle Sans apprecia-
ton of the heroic self-sacrifce of
his youth could most f1ttingly be
expressed. This delay has in part
been due to awaiting to see what
Congress might do with the Mon
dell soldiers land settlement Dill.
Considerable opposition to this
measure has developed-not be-
cause the members individually
and collectively do not want to do
all they can for the soldiers, but
because they look upon the Mon
dell bill as a reclamation measure
in disguise rather than a soldiers
benefit measure. Discussion of
this legislation was one of the
principal matters at the last House

sition was expressed and the Mon

Theodore Roosevelt, jr., is now on

ton in st. Louis refused to declare

unanimous vote. Congress last week
PASSED bill granting this organtza-

Bennett Clark talked this matter
over with members of Congress
after the st. Louis meeting. He de-
scribed the attitude of the legion
as one determined to be of lasting
benefit to the members, to correct
whatever injustices have been done
and to urge legislation of general
benefit for the returned soldiers,
but not seeking pay for patriotism.
Members of Congress have received
letters from President Linsley, COR
recting statements made that the
soldiers organization had Endorsed
the Mondell bill, in which he said
on any federal benefit proposition.
Many members of the House think
that a bonus proposition is vicious,
or. at least. unwise. legislation,
based on a wrong principle. They
say that there must not be any
such thing in this country as buy
ing boys to fight and die under the
flag.
There is a political aspect also.
The republican majority, while de-
termfned as a party to do some
thing worth while for each soldier, \
feels that the payment of bonus
would be considered as an attempt
to buy the soldier vote, and they
realize that the Intelligent and in
dependent ex-service men would
resent such a thing.
1t Is being argued that that sort
of Legislation, instead of being
based on the welfare of the coun-
try, would largely be from a selfish
motive of members to get the votes
of the soldiers.
There are two sides to this con-
troversy, however. For example.
what ia bobbing up to bother all
members of Congress is this fact:
That while the boys were in the
service at very small pay Others
at home were getting paid the
highest salaries they ever dreamed

less the peace treaty with Germany is

country will not be isolated. 1t will
not be isolated from Germany even,
