known to man. It is inconsceivable that that the world war should pass without civilization reaping it's due reward for it's heroic sacrifices. The glorious re- ward is now in sight. A league of na- tions is now practicable for the first time, because the people want it, they long for it and will have it.
 America means to keep the spirit of 1917 alive. She was the champion of the weak nations then and she had no stake other than the high ideal of serv- ice in the cause of freedom. Today bunch of little Americans that are playing politics are asking the Amer
 ican people to substitute national sell fishness for national service, national greed for national welfare, national isolation for national leadership. The American people say: No. There was a league of nations over there, we were in it, and we are going to stay in it. to guarantee the fruits of the sacrifices of our noble sons that are buried over there. They gave up their lives for a world wide freedom. Now it is our dtuy to see that those brave
 boys did not die in vain." Fellow Americans no harm can come to Amer ica by doing her full duty to the very end. If these senators that are fight ing the league of nations would stop thinking about the rival interests of nations and think about the millions of l people who are under the rule of tyran- nical governments and pleading for their freedom, they would soon change | their views and cooperate with Presi- | dent Wilson to make those people | happy under their own rule. The weak | and oppressed and wronged people of the world have never before had a | forum made for them to which they | could summon their enemies in the | presence of the democratic rulers oi the world. The leagues constitution i is a simple and readable document. IT it there is not a single whereas" it is
 expressed in plain and straightforward | language. Never before since time be.
 gan have statesmen given such elab.
 crate care to the preparation of docu. ] ment. Never before has the world stood ] by and watched with such anxiety tn,
 phrasing of a few short articles. Neve
 has there been written covenant tha
 was intended so greatly to effect tn
 destinies of the people of the world
 Never was there a statesman on thi
 earth tht so richly deserved the sup
 port of all minkdin than our president
 Woodrow Wilson, for crystalizing tn
 noble idea of a league of nations s
 the statesmen of the nations can mee
 like gentlemen and settle their dis
 putes in a human way instead of by tn
 sword. We believe in league of na
 tions that will settle disputes withou
 sword and establish a Christian reIa
 ton that was taught by our Saviou
 the Lord.
 Our president and his followers ar anxious that the treaty and league b
 passed by the senate so that it can 2
 into law to insure the right of all hu manity to dwell in peace and amity
 The American people are behind hin ? they are willing to join hands with thei 1 allies to bring peace and comfort t this war-trodden world and help f elevate all nations to a higher plan, It was our wealth and man power tha l defeated Germany, the arch enemy i the small nations. Now we must ioi | with out allies in a league of nation f so we can help to remove all dange for the onward, upward march of hu r manity to a perfect civilization.
 $ Now that our president is sick an } cannot carry on the fight with the or 8 ponents of the league of nations tf 7 whole country should take up his figI t and lombard Instructions, senator i with letters and telegrams and let theI know that the people are in favor ( the treaty and they want it ratifie , right away so that the nation can al tend to it's domestic problems tn; confront us now.
 In concluding I wish to state that believe an overwhelming majority the American people are behind u president, they feel satisfied in the heart that he is leading them right ar the common people of the world bt \ lieye in him. Yes, his name is E household word in the big and sms nations of the world today and in u E future years the name of Woodro Wilson will be immortalized and wri
