A Daily Once Over.
Don't Let Bo.s Overburden You.

You make mistake if you permit persons to
impose upon you. That you will gain nothing
by protesting is your plea for allowing your
supcriors to load you with many duties that
you cannot do any Of them well.
If you held responsible for the perfect
performance Of certain work under your charge
and SO much more is heaped upon your shoulders
that you cannot give honest. thoughtful effort
to your work. you are not only doing yourself
an injustice. but also your employers when
you accept such conditions.
However you must not so to the other ex-
IRENE and think that because part OF the time
your work permits some hours Of leisure that
you should not be called upon to fll all your
hours while you are waiting for your own par
ticular duties, should circumstances make It
expedient for the firm.
The man who permits himself to be unjustly
upbraid-d becomes smaller in his own est ina
tion--loscs initiative and the progressive
quality.
And the longer man permits himself TO be
looked upon as e lackey. the less able Is he to
grow useful to himself and the firm.

The Case and the jury

president WILSON has acted wisely in
deciding to submit the treaty of peace
and the league of nations to the American
people for the final verdict It would have
been advisable for him to do this even if
there had been senatorial conspiracy to
defeat the league and to repudiate in advance
any peace pact that might contain league
covenant. Now that the Senate Republicans
have challenged him in this manner he has
no choice but to meet the issue which thew
have raised and to 80 straight to the great
mass OF the people for support and vindica-
ton. II the people reject his pleading, he
deserves to lose his fight. There is no higher
court OF appeal in this republic If they
sustain him, the Senate will surrender 1t
dare not do otherwise
SO far as the President is concerned he
could not be expected to consent to the
mutilation of the peace treaty and the repu-
diation Of his peace policies generally with
out making q supreme effort to beat down
the partisan opposition which has arrayed
itself against him. He is aware of the fact
that this opposition is formidable; that at
any time it may become both dangerous and
disastrous, and that it can be dealt with. as
II should, only By nation convinced that
the president has done monumental work
IN their name and in their behalf
Because he understands these things the
President has announced through the White
mouse thal ne VIII appear In person before
his countrymen about the 1st of July, adj
dressing them face to face In an effort TO
show them why 1t is necessary for union of

and TO convince them, II it is in his power
that full American participation in such
union is imperative both from the standpoint
OF this country and from that OF humanity.
Tic VIII seek TO show that it is as necessary
lot the United States TO join the league as
was necessary for it to throw itself into
the war.
Reports from Washington indicate that the

lions at birth. This has confused the parlia-
mentary situation majority is needed to
amend the peace treaty and to pass the Knox
resolution, but onc-thrd of the Senate can
reject the treaty. II is apparent. therefore,
that the Republicans only hope by a record
vote 10 muster more than third of the Senate
ior the Knox resolution, thereby giving notice
TO all concerned that they have the power IN
defeat the whole measure. if they dare exer-
else that power.
