Mr.. Poole said that he got to think
ing about what he had learned. On

ARTICLE X TIE "COVENANT OF
SAFETY" FOR TIE WEAK
NATIONS

Instead of studying the covenant Of
the league Of nations our neighb0t
the Herald has been muddling its
brains with the speeches of Senator
Johnson and Senator Borah, as the
following editorial shows:
THE World now assails critics Of
the pending league Of nations cove
nant as "standpatters"
yes, gentle reader this is the
same administration organ which is
urging the adoption Of Article x Of
the covenant gives itself over to fea-
vid support Of a proposal to create
a standpat world!
The "standpat" world that our con
temporary talks about is world
in which the small nations are safe
from ruthless aggression-a world IN
which Belgium has definite assurance
that it will not be Overrun by German
armies and in which other countries
that are powerless to protect themsel-
yes can live in security. If this is
a "standpat" world, then all which
contributes to law and order and JUS
tice is standpatism.
Article X of the covenant of tbs
league of nations was not inserted for
the benefit of countries like the Unit
ted States and Great Britain They
can protect their own territorial and
political integrity against external
aggression. Article x is the pledge
of the strong to the weak and in con-
sequence is in harmony with the
whole spiria OF democratic institu-
tions.-WOrId

involve US in foreign "entangling ALI

yes, red-handed war, if the Shantung

not torn out of the treaty by the roots.
And then they want to have a gen

Speaking of the Shantung affair
Borah says: IF war is the only al
tentative I am willing to face it. and
we might as well settle it now"
That is the way he expressed him
self as being opposed to foreign "en-
tangiing alliances" It is enough to

A LEADER FOR THE REPU8LI
CANS

The little band of republican NAL
contents need not wander around any
longer for some one to lead them in
the next presidential campaign. The
exigency of the times has made him
ready to hand His name is Norris
and he halls from Neoraska-the
modern mother OF presidential candi
dates. He rises. to the surface as
the logical candidate.
His record is given accurately by
the New York World That paper
says:
From the beginning of the war in
Europe in 1914 until we were involved
in the struggle in 1917, ten great
bills intended to strengthen the army
and navy were considered by con-
gress and Norris voted against all
of them but one"
Why, does not that entttle him to
leadership of party that has done
it's best in every way to belittle and
embarrass those sin authority to win
the greatest war in all history and
when the gravest issues were at
stake?
Speaking further of. Norris fitness
of leadership, the World says:
when in view of German submar-
inc outrages, it was proposed to arm
our merchant ships for defense, he
was one of the wilful twelve and vot-
ed no. On the resolution declaring
war against Germany he proudly en-
rolled himself with LHFollette, Var
dannan and three others in opposi-
ton Reporting on his case at the
time, the National security league
conferred upon him the distinction Of
having voted wrong more consistent
| Iy than any other member, of the
senate.
Why shouldn't a man with such a
genius for error when war was
threatened and when it at length be-
came necessary exhibit the same pro-
Ipensity now in an attempt to bedevil
the peace"
And the World could have fttingly
added: Why is he not the logical
and ideal candidate of that party for
leadership of which he is the fitting
exponent in the next presidential
campaign?

"AH, THERE, FLoRIDA!"

Senator Duncan o. Fletcher of
Florida is going to have opposition.
Two candidates for his seat in the
senate have already announced, Gov
ernor Cats being one of them.
Senator Fletcher has more than
made good" at Washington. and is
today one Of the strongest men the
south has in the senate It would be
a great mistake for Florida to retire
as able and experienced senator as
he is today. The best man the PEG
pie in the state might elect could
not hope to reach within the next
ten years the position Of usefulness
and influence which Senator Fletcher
has already attained.
Our sister state has been known to
pull off some surprising political
stunts in the not very remote past
but surely there ought to be enough
intelligent and patriotic people in the
state TO take care Of Senator Fletcher
in the present threatened crisis.
Changing senators and representa-
tives in congress is, in the very ma
ture of conditions at the nationa,
capital. as well as at, home, an un-
wise thing to do, and it should be
done only when an incumbent proves
unworthy or goes far astray

Mr.. LINCOLN HUXLEY AND TI-E
MIAMI HERALD

1t seems to us that the Miami Her
aid has given Mr.. Lincoln Hulley,
president Of Stetson university and O
candidate for governor of the state
of Florida a fine chance for a picnic
if he wants to avail himself of the
opportunity.
Mr.. Hulley is retold by the Her
aid that the sovereignty Of the
states have been entirely eliminated
on this point and on that until TO-
day we see them compelled to sur-
render to the central government
every shred Of reserved power"
The reserved powers Of the states
are defined in an amendment to the
constitution in the following lam
guage;
1.-THE powers not delegated to the
United States by the constitution,
nor prohibited by. it TO the states,
are reserved to the states respec-
lively, or to the people"
How these powers not delegated to
the United States are to be delegated
to it are thus provided for by the
constitution:
THE congress, whenever two
thirds Of both houses shall deem it
necessary, shall propose amendments
to this constitution, or On the appli-
cation of the legislatures Of two
thirds of the several states shall call
convention for proposing amend
ments, which, in either case, shall be
valid to all intents and purposes, as
part of this constitution, when rati-
fed by the legislatures of three
fourths of the several states or by
in three-fourths thereof,
as the one or the other mode of rat1-
Acation may be proposed by the con
gress."
What reserved power, please, have
the states been deprived Of that was
not done in the manner pointed out
above?
Every one of the amendments to
Inc sCOH5LILQLlOuS WHICH AAOAO hA~s~'
outnumber the original articles two
to one, were adopted by the voluntary
consent of the number Of states re-
quired to make the same valid.
We know of no reserved right that
was taken away by violence or the
assumption Of arbitrary power.
ALI the amendments to the cOnsti-
tuition have been adopted regular
and in order and if not would be SET
aside as Invalid by the supreme court
which is clothed with that power
The one giving the states these
reserved powers" went through the
same chan1el-it was an aemudment
and adopted in like manner as all the
others.
