LEAGUE FIGHT IN
SENATE Is GIVEN
NEW TURN BY FOES

Washington, June 1.-THE SEN
ate fight over the league of ma
tions entered a new phase today
with the beginning of debate on
the resolution of Senator Knox
Republican, of Pennsylvania, a for
mer secretary of state, proposing
that the senate formally express
unwillingness to accept the league
covenant as it now is interviewer
with the terms of peace.
The debate is expected to last for
many days and to develop some
of the bitterest passages yet pro-
duced by the treaty fight League
supporters before the debate be-
gan claimed that they had enough
votes to defeat the measure.
Those favoring the resolution de-
clared that IL 1t should command
the support Of more than one
third of the senate the result
would be to serve notice that the
treaty never could receive In its
present form the two-thirdE nec-
essary ratification. This, however,
was denied by the opposition lead
ers.

Mark Twain on conseien;es

There is on record q conversation
that Mark Twain had with Kipling, In
which the former discoursed on the
conscience. The story Is told by Kip
ling. He reports Twain as saying. "A
conscience Is like a child. If you pet
it and play with 1t and let 1t have
everything that it wants it becomes
spoiled and intrudes on all your amuse-
ments and most Of your griefs. Treat
your conscience as you would treat any
thing else. When II rebels spank it-re
severe with it. prevent its, coming to
play with you at all hours, and you will
secure a good conscience; that is to say,
a properly trained one. A spoiled one
simply destroys the pleasures of life. I
think that have reduced mine to order
At least have not heard from il. for
