Lloyd George was laborng under the

THERE rs NO YANKEE THERE.

"A Yankee at Prince Arthur's Court is the
title of the London Posts editorial on Presi-
dent Wilson'S speech before the peace confer
ence advocating league of nations. On the
whole this is misnomer. To be sure, the presl-
dent is geographically and in war parlance the
leader of the Yankees, but the Yankee as Mark
Twain wrote of him in the delightful story
from which the London Post borrows its title
was far other than our president The thing
goes further, too for in the story of the Yankee
who was bounced from Connecticut factory

found a most deplorable state needing to be

this difference: Mark Twoin s man was true
to tradition; he was practical person, pure and
simple; he electrified the abuses of the time out
of existence, fguratively and literally; he was
man of few words and these far from elegant,
but he did lot
The Yankee of whom Mark Twain, Oliver

NOW IT'S AGAINST TOBACCO.

Cedar Rapids Republican: The re-
formers have been uisgusted with the
distribution of tobacco among the sol
diers, but while the war was in prog
ress they did not dare to speak out.
but now the ban is Off and they are
going to bang it to the smokers
II it is to be one such movement at
ter another, we may expect coffee to
come next time and then tea, and then
what? For the reformers being busy
bodies will never be able to find their
angle of rest. They are not built that
way. They know exactly how every
one ought to do and they think they
know what they have right to forbid
anyone doing. They are supervisors Of
all mankind
But is it not possible that the rest
of the people are going to have some
thing to say? Or are they going to al
low one thing after another to be done
to them as they are done to SO many
dumb cattle?
Is 1t not possible that some men may
come to the conclusion thaa what this
world and this country especially
needs is new declaration Of indepen-
dence? A Cedar Rapids paper was up
braided for saying that soon we would
have no more liberties in this country
than they have in Austria under Fran
cic Joseph-but may it not be better
to ask whether we will have as many
left, after the reformers and agitators
get through with US?
