LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Senator McCumber sensed the will of North
Dakota en- the League of Nations more accurately
than our junior senator who still clings to ! "a Fol-
lette's skirts with a devotion that out-Boswe!Is
Boswell.
1t will be fatal to the Republican party to make
an issue out Of the League of Nations or the peace
treaty of which that league agreement must be a
component part
While President Wilson's reasoning in certain
details may be inconsistent, the nation is behind
him solldly for League of Nations. Many of us
realize that his advocacy of Democratic candida
cles at the last congressional election pulled the
very issues into politics that he now sterny says
must not be turned to partisan usages.
Be that as it may, the situation is bigger than
Wilson, bigger than any of the two dominant polit-
lcal parties, and must be met in big way-just
as the war was fought and won, by the patriotic
union OF all parties, all creeds and all men who
stood out against autocracy
Senator McCumber realizes as all thinking men
must that the covenant is not perfect in detail but
It embodes the hopes and aspirations of many that
out of all the welter of strife, bloodshed and sf
fering, will come reasonable protection against
war.

PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-P Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people feshy. developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty. there are evidently thousands
OF men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained In modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
Rists as bitro- phosphate, which Is mex

nell in Omaha and most all druggists I'M

by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate quickly produces a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the in
crease in weight frequently being astonish-
ing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it general Improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sfeeplessness and
lack Of energy. which nearly always ac-

cheeks glow with the bloom Of perfect

in spite Of his brilliant record in the
Civil War, failed completely. He

embarrassment of q purely defensive po-
sition There are to-day many groups

has not satisfied their hopes. If the
Democrats must wage purely de-
fensive fight, these groups are lost from
the outset to tho Democratic ticket.

Wilson Called
Sole Obstacle
to Peace

~ NE Of the most significant
q shifts of opinion Of the
past week was made by the
Washington correspondent
of The New York Globe" Arthur
D. Howden Smith, who may be re-
called as the author of an adulatory
biography Of Colonel House and
whose support of the President and
the league has heretofore been
stanch.
The picture Of the situation at
Washington confirms the views Of
critics of the administration in
striking fashion. Mr.. Smith declares
that the Presidents party is hope
lessly split, that the Cabinet is on
the verge Of a breakup, and that
rebellion, long brewing in the Demo-
cratic ranks of the Senate, is now
outspoken. Mr.. Wilson's pronuncis-
mento on the league, that he had no
compromise or concession In mind, Is
considered by all sides, it Is stated,
''bad politics and stupid strategy"
The dispatch in "The Globe is In
part as follows:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-12-21

ITO make matters worse, the Cabinet
is split on the subject. and. indeed.
on the general policy of tho Adminis-
tration. At least one resignation 10
anticipated within the next two
months, and one or two others are
foreshadowed II is understood that
several Cabinet officers have been re-
strained from resigning only by
feeling of personal loyalty, which for
babe their taking such a step until the
President had recovered his health.
$50 there is reason for saying that
whatever the motive of the President
IN announcing once more that the Re-
publican Senator'S need not expect sur-
gestions of compromise from him, the
announcement has rebounded against
him and against the best interests OF
the treaty, his party and the world at
large. There Is the highest authority,
authority OF Republican aid Demo
cratic leaders, for the assertion that
the treaty can be ratified this week on
terms satisfactory TO Great Britain
and France, perhaps even to Japan.
The one obstacle standing in the way
Is the Presidents refusal TO take tho
initiative or 10 indicate his approval

Is untenab!e. Mr.. Wilson alone,
wrapped in the mantle of official AFRO
gance and intellectual self-esteem, re-
mains Indifferent to facts and imper-
vious to reason"
Democratic editorial opinion has
not abated its counter charges
against Senator Lodge and his asso-
ciates. If anything, the adjectives
on both sides have become bitterer
than ever. On the other hand, the
Washington correspondents Of
Democratic papers are quite frank
in conceding that if and when COM
promise comes-and the general
view is that it will come soon-it
will be substantially on the basis
of the Lodge reservations. Says the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-12-21

they lack tho elemental amount Of CO.
operation to enable them to get it.
"But it is, nevertheless, the fact that
the President must be the medium Of
negotiation with the other eignatories
to the peace treaty. The Senators
cannot negotiate. They can only con-
sent or veto,
"The President should get into the
mental attitude of speaking for Amer
lea, not for the Allies or even the
Peace Conference. Let our allies do
their own objectng to the 'reserva-
tons they dislike"
In contrast with this view as to
evenness of blame is The New York

Of Republican success would be- sadly
dimmed.-
Consider how we'll one could work
up a possible Hoover candidacy
against Wood's-"the man-slayer
against the man-saver," for instance,
"The Republican" concludes.
Woods claim to inherit Roose-
velt's mantle will be disputed by Sen
ator Hiram Johnson, who has just
announced his purpose to stump the
country to advocate his own nominal
ton. 1t is agreed that he is man
of great ability and force, but there
is doubt as to whether he would be q
good President. The Republican
Utica Press" finds many things to
his credit--his railroad policy in
California, his record as Governor
and his overwhelming majority when
elected Senator from California in
1916.
On the other side, "The Phila-
delphia Evening Bulletin" (Rep)
agrees that he is a powerful man,
but doubts his sound Republicanism,
owing to his attitude in the 1916
election. Johnson will make quite a
stir on the stump, it agrees:
"But the average Republican in most
parts of the country Will not be much
disposed to warm up to him until he
shall make more satisfactory explana-
ton than he has yet done as to the part
he played In California when Hughes
lost that state for the Presidency and
when he himself got its Senatorial vote
by an overwhel majority"
"The New York Times" agrees
that Harding is the cold guards
candidate, at least for the present.
Events will probably follow the
course of 1916, when he was sup
ported by this wing Of the party
until February, when it became
clear that he aroused no popular
enthusiasm.
