People Are Irritable.
Friends Of the President insist that
one of the reasons why the opponents
of the league of nations are gaining
ground is because the people generally
are in an irritable mood and want
their domestic problems. which were
neglected during MT. Wilson's alb
, sence, to get prompt attention. 1t
would seem. therefore, that as prompt
ly as the President finished comforting
with individual senators and had ex-
hausted every argument at his COM
mand to secure q ratification of the
treaty. he might feel Justified in leav-
ing the pact entirely to the Senate,
where the responsibility for the &C
ceptance or rejection Of the treaty
now rests.

The sudden outcrop of race rioting

friends Of President Wilson who are

There are indications that the

has had the attention # the chief ex-

sales was this alleged fact pounded
into US. Because we had, with more
or less cheerfulness, submitted to a
diet of alfalfa and beans In order
that Hoover might have pie for Eu-
rope, it was heralded to the four
corners of the universe that the
American spenders had been trans
formed into financial tightwads.
But now the same bunch of crys-
tal-gazers has switched and says the
real cause of high cost Of living is
the fact that the American people
are indulging in saturnalia of
spending. No more thrift, no more
frugality, no more alfalfa and beans,
no more Hooverizing-just pie and
then more pie. The people are not
running true to the tinhorn prophets
dopesheet.
All this sickly sentiment about the
wonderful mental and sociological
changes wrought by the war makes
one tired Humanity is still human
ity; alfalfa is still alfalfa and pie Is
still pie. The American citizen is
still the generous, care-free cuss he
always was and it'll take more than
war to make him over to fit the
model of some dinky, half-baked pro-
phet.-Valley Dispatch.

"PROFITEERING"

This is new word and new
problem which has sprung up as an
aftermath of the war to confront ali
the people, not only of this country,
but of all the world, and yet it Is
as old as history or time. Men have
been at the profiteering game ever
since greed and selfishness was a
part of human nature, and that has
always been.
The money-changers whom Christ
lashed from the Temple were profi-
teers. Judas betrayed the Master
for 30 pieces of fsilver-nowadays he
would have demanded a million, en-
dowed some libraries, posed as a
philantrophist and lived happily ever
after. Esau, who sold his birthright
for a mess of pottage in these days
would have put the mush up into
cartons with fancy lettering and pic
lures on them, advertised it as not
only fattening but an eradicator for
stains upon the character, and re-
tired with more millions tnan farm
ers have hay. Those old guys were
pikers, but their system was the
same old brand of profiteering the
government is investigating today.

IN FALSE TONGUES

In Chicago the other day ali
American senator in a speech at
tacking the League covenant, de-
clared that the article on disarma-
ment would deprive America of the
right to make adequate provisions
for her own protection and place
this country under the domination
Of weak foreign nations.
In Chicago, two days later, an
other senator, attacking the cove
nant, declared that the disarmament
article is toothless and impotent.
Both were speaking of the identical
provision, and one assailed it as too
strong, the other as too weak. One
or the other, or both, since they
bore exactlf opposite testimony,
spoke falsely. If what either said
is true, the other is untrue, which
in turn means that part, if not all,
the attacks on the covenant are mis-

PRACTICE WILL MAKE 1T
PERFECT

1t may not be perfect state pa
per. 1t may have some faults that
will have to be corrected later. Our
own Constitution has been amended,
yet it is conceded to be one of the
most perfect instruments ever drawn.
When many nations, instead of the
people of one nation, attempt to
draw up articles of agreement, it is
natural that the result is compro-
mise
1t must be the present constitu-
ton for a League of Nations or
none at ALL Amendments must come
when necessary. Perfection to begin
with is unattainable A demand
that the constitution be perfect, that
it suit every objecting lawyer who
wants to air his legal knowledge, is

EDITORIAL COMMENT
THE NEW LICENSE SYSTEM

Don't let the "profiteers-' stam-
pede you into buying hysteria.
There's still enough and to spare, OF
everything needed, if people will
only buy for their normal needs.
Profits are still confined to what
ever the public can be made to pay
under the scare of make-believe
scarcity. But this will soon be reg
ulated by the new license system
which will limit the selling privileges
to persons, companies and corpora
tions, who have proved that they are
trustworthy, and will protect their
licensed privileges to do business
with the American people, by treat
ing them with an honesty of purpose
that is above |'geting the money
by whatever "hook or crook" that
mercenary merchants can devise.
