on the issue of their reelection as oppo-
nents of the league of nations would be an
accurate index to the mind and purpose OF
the American people
And, moreover:
at may be taken for granted that none of
these Senator'S will bubble over lack of
precedents for such action, fer there are
plenty of precedents. The classical ex-
ample is the case of Senator Conkling and
Senator Platt, of New York, when they re-
signed because President Garfield had made
an appointment to the Collectorship of the
Port which was Objectionable to them.
Their referendum was to the state Legs
lature and they were both defeated; but
the Senators who against a league of
nations are not restricted to such limited
method of vindication. Senator'S are
elected directly by the people and these
men can appeal directly to the people.
Men have died for the Declaration of
Independence, for the Constitution of the
United States and for the Monroe Doctrine.
which these gentlemen say are to be multi
fed by the league of nations. Surely none
of them is afraid to pledge paltry Sena-
torship to test the sentiment of the Ameri-
can people this great ISSUE"
In general, Senator Reed has met with
little but adverse criticism in payment
for his Missouri speeches. "The St.
Louis Post Dispatch" devotes long edi-
torial to the Senator's "bitter campaign"
which is such as to arouse and strength
en- international suspicion, jealousy, envy
and hatred-all the passions that make

The evening passed. Night came. The
moon shone clear The days after
storm are always marked by an almost
supernatural peace, as if nature were
attempting to repair the rudenesses of
the day before.
In the silence i'll which the tides, white
and velvety as milk, broke almost with
out murmur, voices drew near.
ooh! ship!' some one said in
musical tone. "Shall we go and sit down
there?"
"Anything you wish, my darling"
answered the tender voice of a Young
man.
And the skeleton ship saw the two
appear, the Prince Charming and the
fairy-she all white and he pale blue,
with pale blue casque, and CARRIED, as it
were, in the rays of the moonlight.
"My hero." exclaimed the young
girl

Seated beside each other, facing the
horizon, they clasped hands. They were
making an imaginary voyage on the dy-

six days. How beautiful the moonlight
is! We have embarked at night for some
happy isle"

ship. "See, at last have entered my

And laid triumphantly on the prov of
the sad wreck, just ut the place where
they had formerly painted the word

of the mainmast? Why those sails,
spread like flower with five petals?
Alas! Now, an old wooden skeleton,
with sides broken in, cast up there in
gray mud, she saw the living ships
pass out of port, spreading their white
or darkened wings. With all her poor
old forces she called to them:
at isn't truei You must see that it
isn't true. There is no Enchanted Isle,
no Prince Charming, no fairy. There is
nothing but three poor fellows who fish
for sole. Your sails are only for COM

name, whatever it may be, will not pre-
vent you from ending in the sepulchral
mud where | am now There is left to
me but one letter of the word Hope
which, like a promise, painted in white
on red background, once decorated my
bow. 'Hope' What irony! 'Hope!' What
a lie!"

the summer came near making the old
ship believe that her deliverance was at
hand. But by morning, the gale having

before venturing on the main.
She pondered and pondered-the old
ship. She recalled the beautiful hours
in port when, at low tide, her cargo
of fish discharged, her sails furled, she
tugged gently at her moorings and
creaked in her eagerness to go to sea
again.
10 go to sea again!
Since she had lain in misery in the
mud she had longed for the tempest,
the cyclone, the tidal wave which would
pluck her from her slime and restore
her to the deep, before destroying her
utterly, sunken wreck amid the other
sunken wrecks. She wished that for one
second, for one second only, she might
again cleave the waters, like the share
of plough.
To 60 to sea again.

the future from the evils Ct the past and
which would block progress through fear

For how many years had the poor old
thing lain there? In spite of the squalor
in which she was slowly rotting away,
she had still, when night fell, against the

graceful outline. One recognized in her

Japan has never enjoyed perfect equal
ity among the nations, in spite of the fact
that some fifty years have gone by since
she entered the company of the great pow
ers of the world. Perhaps it is largely due
to the historic fact that Japan has been
isolated from Europe and America for
long period of time, during which she has
created distinct civilization and peculiar
customs of her own. Naturally, in many
