WHY THIS CHANGE OF FRONT?

The Republicans of the State of
New York, in party convention as
sembled, adopted the following, and
r incorporated ii in the platform of the
party:
1--WE favor the immediate crea-
ton by the United States and its
allies of League of Nations.
TO membership in this league
any nation might be admitted
that possesses n responsible gov
eminent which will abide by those
rules of law and equity and by
those principles of international
justice and morality which are
accepted by civilized peoples"
The League has been drawn by the
Peace conference in Paris and agreed
to by the allies in principle, and prom
ises to become so in fact very soon.
The question will be asked, in view of
what has been going on in Washing
ton, why have the leading Rrepubli-
cans changed front so completely,
since the adoption of this plank in
the platform last July?
Here is the explanation given for
the change Of front, stated by the
Philadelphia Record:
Politics, dearly beloved reader;
politics of the smallest and most ig-
nominious kind. 1t happens that the
President of the United States is Il
Democrat and in the camp of the G..
0. P. bosses there is Il horrible fear
th0f hn md hic NH, 4
some prestige from the successful
prosecution of the war and tn adop-
ton by the Peace Conference of the
idea of League of Nations, to which
America was unanimously committed
only n few months ago. So Borah,
Sherman, Lodge, PoindeXter, and the
other Senatorial reactionarics fumc
and rage and weave hair splitting
arguments about alleged unconstitu-
tionality and the Monroe doctrine
It's all just politics, and let no one be
deceived by it. The American pco-
pie stand today where the Republi-
cans of New York stood last July, in
favor of Immediate creation by the
United States and its allies of II
League of Nations"
And there you have it, plainly and
truthfully put. 1t is amazing. almost
unthinkablc, that there are among
the leaders at Washington and Il few
outside perhaps, who are small OF
head and heart as to be willing to
jeopardize the future peace OF the
world, and render another war in the
near future possible, if not proba-
Bile, in order to advance their own
political and selfish interests. 1t is
true, however, lamcntahly true, and
all these opponents of league OF
nations are not Republicans, either
The whole bunch should be treated as
Ole Hanson treated the disturbers and
strikers in Seattle. They are dcstruc-
tionsts and obstructionists and not
constructionists. They oppose and
object but propose nothing instead
"Despicable partisan politics" adds
the Record.

Talk Into Your Telephone

There are two ways to make a telephone
call and to carry on telephone conversation.
The zOrOng way is to humble the num-
Der to the operator, to be inattentive to her
repetition, and then, when you get the con-
nection, to talk at your telephone without
regard to its distance from your lips.
The right way is to give the number to
the operator clearly and distinctly, to lis
ten for her repetition of the number and 1c-
knowledge it, and then to talk directly
INTO the telephone. with your lips close to
the transmitter, giving your whole attention
to the telephone conversation.
The right way will help you to seteven
quicker and more accurate connections and
will make your telephone conversations
more efficient.
Always talk DIRECTLY into your telephone
