THE FAITHFUL SIXTY.

+! The president has discontinued the expert
ment of personal interviews with senators to
convert them to his views as to the allhighness
of his own league of nations scheme. Those
whom he did see were the ones most hospltable,
as he believed, to argument and suggestion. Yet
all of them without exception, as far as known,
went away unchanged in their conviction that
before the covenant is ratified it must be made
safe for the United States.
Senator Fernald, of Maine, told the president
frankly that at least fortytwo of his colleagues
stood unchangeably for vital reservations tanta-
mount to amendments to the league. The presi-
dent was somewhat disconnected by this state
ment He had assumed, he said in substance,
that there were at least sixty men in the senate
who took world view of the present crisis.
THAT is exactly what at least sixty of them
do the senator from Maine replied but their
world view includes in its scope the United
States of America. -
At this the president terminated the inter
view, and the situation thus remains precisely
where it stood at the beginning. A majority of
the senate will not ratify treaty by which this
republic gives other nations eight votes to one
against us in the council and thirty-two to one
in the assembly in any matter of selfish interest
on which the majority can unite. By so doing
we should destroy the government our fathers
founded and surrender American freedom.

AN EMBARRASSING QUESTION.

The president of the Chinese Students ALI
ance in the United States asks the president OF
this republic pertinent question, the answer
to which will be awaited with general interest
If it was morally jnstifiable, he asks to brlhc
Japan to support the league of nations, was It
UNSUITABLE to pay her at China's expenses
Would it not have been more fair and honest TO
give her something belonging to the United
States-Alaska, let us say, or Oregon--lnstead
of bribing her into the league by giving her the
acknowledged property of China, war asso-
cate and confding friendf
There is nothing to show with certainty
whether this oriental with his embarrassing
question is pagan or q christian. His name,
Feng Hua Huang, throws no light upon the mat
ter: but he is SO naive and unsophisticated IN
western ways as to suggest that he is either
confucian or a buddhist. Western nations do
not do business on any such principle as is in
dicated by Feng's question. No nation at the
conference gave up anything it did not have to,
and all the contentious that embittered 1T were
over the divisions of other people IS lands. Con-
fucius is a back number philosopher and China
has been asleep for tens of hundreds OF years
or Feng would never in his simpleness of heart
asked question such as he propounded to the
president of the United States. He evidently is
and transparent nature which wins our admir-
alton and warm regard. No one can help a
kindly feeling for him and the hope that he will
get safely back to China where people pay their
debts out of their own pockets instead OF, as
western nations do making their neighbors pay
them.

PITuEss PROFITEERs.

The world has heard no end of doleful tales
about the shortage Of food IN Germany and how
the people were on the verge of famine. Yet 1t
would now appear that huge stores OF boarded
foods have been concealed, and enough OF 1t
flowed into Berlin on news that the blockade
was lifted to send food down fifty per cent.
Evidently profteering has been responsible for
no little of the distress, and the foodstuff cor
nerers and extortioners are now in panic to
unload
Proiteers are of one species the world over,
and no nation is free from them. They are pitt
less and the greater the necessity Of their neigh
bors the more they fatten on their needs Prob
ably no country realizes how large a part It's
profteers have in keeping food prices up. BIT
the people are beginning to think deeply, and.
in some lands, gloomily about it; and day Of
reckoning may sometime come. In France a
bill has been introduced which would punish
profiteers by death. 1t will not pass and should
not It is too extreme But it indicates the
ugly temper in which the people may deal with
their extortioners if pushed too far It is said
that every wheat producing land on earth with
the possible exception of Russia will have a
surplus for export this year Our crop and ey-
ports will be greatest of ALL yet it is considered
probable, and is now and then proclaimed, that
we shall be paying as much or more for bread
next winter as in the winter past 1t will be the
same with many other articles War prices will
still prevail; and we are told that some things
footwear and clothing and coal for exampIa
will be more costly than ever before IF the
American people knew with certainty Just how
much the desire to make every possible con.
scienceless penny out of business was KEEPING
up the cost of living, there probably would be

ONE SCHOOL LANGUAGE.

Seven state legislatures have prohibited the
use of any language other than English In ele-
luentary schools, and seventeen others had SINH
lar enactments under consideration previous to
their adjournment The reason why certain mid
die west states have taken the lead in this mat
ter is due to the fact that they with their large
percentage of foreigners, felt the need of such
enactments as states with smaller alien ele-
ment have not.
There is little question that this policy is
sound. No one thing contributes more to ma
tional harmony and patriotism than the general
use Of a single language. States where divers
tongues are spoken like Austria Hungary for
example are not nations in any true sense but
merely congeries Of peoples held together by
force. Hence the central empires, realizing
this, have made such persistent and often cruel
efforts to interdict the speech and exhrpate the
literature OF subject elements in their popula-
tons This has caused great distress and is an
indefensible proceeding. We annex no peoples
against their viii. Our aliens came here vol
unfairly 70 cast their lot with us. They became
citizens and their children are expected to grow
up as Americans and have no other land but
this. It is entirely proper therefore to ask them
to teach their children to speak our language,
and infinitely better for the state and for the
children themselves that they should. Foreign
ers who do not come here with the desire Of be-
coming all American as fast as they can are I'M
desirable acquisitions.

ICDAY's BIZ OF VERSE
LIFE HOLDS so MUCH.


Life holds so much OF Deautys best,
IT'S only who fail the test
Who with our wayering will go down
Just missing the immortal crown.
The rich earth and the piunging sea,
The soft commoton of the tide,
The fringed exuberance of the tree,
The covers where quaint blossoms hide,
The often quiet haunts of song
Where rare brayures sometimes leap
From throats OF tmid feathered throng-
And often clods that sleep.
Last night the moon in glorious flare
Rode over earth in queenly guise,
A mystic radiance in her hair,
The silver princess OF the skies.
Today the sun in lordy state
Decked earth with such lovely light.
And we in wrangle and debate
Go chained unto worldly fight
Oh naockery OF the law most high,
That men should waste the beauty given
To make us brethren OF the sky
And our green earth lesser heaven.
Come out along the marge of things,
Shake OF the binding chains of form!
All day the lovely linReS sings
And down the twilight breaks the storm.
Be children OF the freshening grace
That beauty plants most every place.
And stirred from self cast free the soul
To take the prizes OF the race
And make our part 9 perfect whole.
The gods are good and all is well,
The slopes are dripping in the strand.
And life has much lore TO tell,
And JOY is in the rosy land.
We need tempest and then
To stir us to the sense of might
And time has always need for men,
And always somewhere burns the light
The world is vocal with wild joy,
The glades are garnished for the feast
OF beauty-leaye the base alloy
And grasp each blessing, large or least,
Put forth across the seas OF dream,
And with adventuring soul release
The thought that flashes like beam,
The faith that brings eternal peace.

Glidden Graphic: 1t is noticeable
that in the recent negro riots in yari-
Gus parts of the country the colored
folks have been fighting back. This
rather unusual procedure has made
the white mobs furious and has
stirred the fires of mob law still
greater. Authorities should protect
any man or body of men who are un-
lawfully attacked, but if they fail to
do SO, why shouldn't negro fight
back as well as a white man?

THE RED CROSS PROGRAM

The Red Cross peace program is
not TO be allowed to interfere with
the war obligation undertaken by the
organization. This was the state
ment of Clifford c. Held, manager
OF the Northern Division, on his re-
turn from a conference with national
Red Cross officers in Washington.
Washington is impressed by the
keen interest shown generally by Red
Cross chapters and branches in con
tinued work" said Mr.. Held
ut is the hope and desire of ma
tional officials that our military obi
cations be completed before chapters
consider the peace program as it ap-
plies to home service and public
health nursing. Classes in home hy-
giene, dietetics, junior work and first
aid, however, may very well be pushed
now by chapters and branches that
have not already organized them.
"Officials in Washington desire that
the Red Cross shall maintain contact
and cooperate with all agencies doing
a similar work to ours in order that
they may feel that the American Red
Cross does not desire to handicap
them nor crowd them to the wall.
Rather is it the desire of the national
officers to be of help in seeing that
big job is done well, if not by one
organization in a given county or
state, then by two or three, when
overlapping does not seem probable
Organizations with whom we may well
extend our cooperation are public |.
health organizations and officials, state
and county officials, relief or charit- .
able organizations, boards of educa-
ton, county school superintendents .
and the nursing and medical organi-
cations.
"The international organization Of
Red Cross societies is already COM
pleted. In brief. this tremendous or
ganization, embracing nearly every
civilized nation with the exception of
the Central Powers, will continue to
relieve worldwide suffering. The
American Red Cross is the largest and
strongest of all and it, therefore,
seems evident that we shall be called
upon to help in international matters
to a greater extent than any other
