SENATOR ELKINS DECIDES.

West Virginia'S junior senator
TOOK the people of the nation into
his confidence on July 18th and
handed the press Of the country his
criticism of the League of Nations.
There is nothing new or startling
IN his statement and arguments, eX-
cept when he tells us that the great
majority of the people of West Vir-
ginia are unqucstionably and I'M
aiterably opposed to the covenant
OF the league of nations as finally
Brought home by the President and
presented to the Senate" 1t was
not expected that Davis Elkins
would find new argument against
the league when men of much
greater ability and with equal par
dsanship have rung the changes
On loss of sovereignty" "unconsti-
tutional," "Americanism,', and "cn-
tanglIng alliances" until their mess
OF words have drowned them. But
the ability of the Senator is very
Limited from his reading of the
minds Of West Virginians to tell
just what they are thinking is very
wonderful. If the Senator con-
cludes that West Virginia is OPP
posed to the League of Nations be-
cause ii happens to be Republican,
he will find that the thinking Re-
Publicans are in favor of the
league. There are some Republi-
cans who are opposed to il be-
cause they have not reasoned things
Out Tor themselves, and some are
opposed to it from pure blind par
tisanship. There are some Demo-
Gratis that are opposed to it be-
cause they have been scared by the
much ranting Of Senator's. But
West Virginia will join her sister
states in demanding the ratifica-
lion OF the covenant. The Sena-
tors OF the United States will not
dare to go to the people of the coun-
Try until the covenant is ratified.
Senator Davis Elkins will ulti-
natcly find reason to give il an
proval. His reminder to the peo-
pie OF West Virginia will not serve
TO eXalt him to the place his dis
tinguished father held in the hearts
OF West Virginians. Stephen B.
Elkins brought honor to his State.
His State honored his son. A faith
er's life and name may exalt son
10 place, but it cannot make the
son fill it. The vaporings of imma-
lure minds will be forgiven, how
ever, II not too long persisted in.

REPUBLICAN URGES RATIFICATION.

Supporting the league of nations
in a senate speech Tuesday, Senator
McNary, Republican, Oregon, urg-
ed that it be accepted without any
such amendments or reservations
as would "alter the splendid pur-
pose of the covenant, or weaken it
so far as it affects our duties"
The senate, said the speaker,
could without harm adopt certain
reservations in the form Of inter-
pretations," but should not endang-
er the covenant by making reserva-
tons that would vitality affect i'm
portant features. Article 10, he
said, would be unimpaired, be-
cause ii was 1.-The pillar section" of
the league.

McNary, "of the principle embod-
led in any effort to insure the per-
mancnt peace of the world, and |
am willing to accept the covenant

les have had SO much to say.
''In no sense can the executive
branch of the government, aided by
the senate, cast any legal obligations
upon this or any future congress
to pass declaration of war upon

"Thc moral force in the obliga-
ton imposed upon the nations of
the world, in my opinion, will do
much to chill the ambitious designs

miracle: but the achievement is far
beyond the powers of a ready made
shirtwaist OF ordinary type. So If you
are stout I beg of you do not go to
ordinary waist-counters and select or

blouses--in the stereotyped sizes. Go
instead to some shop. or some depart
ment in a large store where special
styles for large figures are carried,
These blouses have an entirely differ
ent cut. and the proportions of the
figure that owe its largeness to fat
have been carefully considered. There
is room across the shoulders and bust
without that distressing .fall-over look
at the top of the armhole which an
ordinary fortyfour waist takes on a
woman who Is merely large-busted
and has a rather narrow width of
shoulder. The collars At smoothly
without gaping at the sides of the
neck. and the sleeves taper as a stout
woman's sleeves should taper, from a
very roomy armhole to neat fit at
the wrist. The average woman who Is
merely stout--not large of frame
knows how sleeves OF ready-made
blouses usually At. The roomy forty
four waist that Is big enough to drape
properly. across the bust has sleeves
that are inches too long and miles too
big below the elbow.
All these faults are corrected in
the special waists for large figures.
