tween nations, as between races. as be-
tween religions. as between classes.
While. in It's organized form In each
country. II enjoys intimate relations
with its own government yet II pre-
serves its voluntary and democratic
character.
II is expected that out OF this world
gathering there will emerge an interna-
tional organization through which the
peoples OF the world may cooperate
in stimulating and developing activitits
In the respective countries for the bet
terment Of mankind.
Such activities would foster the study
OF human disease. promote sound
measures for public health and sanlta-
ton, the welfare OF children and moth
ers, the education and training OF
nurses. and the care and prevention OF
tuberculosis, veneresl disease, malaria
and other chronic or infectious dis
eases. and would provide measures for
handling problems OF world relief In
emergencies such as flre. famine and
pestllence.
The conception involves not merely
efforts 10 relieve human suffering but
TO prevent it--not alone the suffering
Of one people but an sttempt 10 arouse
all peoples 10 a sense OF their RESPONSE
blllty for the welfare OF their fellow
beings throughout the world.
In brief, the plan c0ntemplates the
formation Of what will be In eject an

emergency effort on the part OF voiun-
tary national relief organizations.
The original Geneva convention was
designed primarily to guarantee neu-
trality TO those actually engaged In the
care Of sick and wounded combatants.
This war has shown. however. that the
battlefield Of modern warfare extends
into every home Of the nations involved.
Out Of this fact has grown the neces-
slty that the Red Cross should in time
OF war extend It's minlstrations TO
homeless refugees as well as 10 civil
ians In their homes behind the lines.
The international Red Cross at Ge-
neva has from the very beginning done
an important work. Throughout the
present war its high principles Of both
neutrality and helpfulness have been
maintained. Its positions OF pre-emin-
ence as the great neutral agency should
be upheld and II Is the belief that It's
ideals for extending relief in time Of
war can be applied with equal vigor
and effectiveness 10 time Of peace.
The experience OF the war has de-
veloped an advanced practice in caring
for the welfare OF motherhood and
childhood. II has likewise demon
strated novel and most promising pos
s'bilitles in the care and treatment OF
tuberculosis and other diseases.
10 Is accordingly Of unusual import
ance at this moment in the worlds his
tory that representatives OF the various
people should meet In conference, COM
pare Information and experience, and
determine how voluntary effort In every
country may best exert itself In the
service OF humanity. -.
It IS peculiarly ftting that such q
world, conference should meet under
the segis OF the Red Cross. for the Red
Cross has shown Itself 10 be an In
strument OF peculiar flexbility and
adaptabllity with which 10 promote
efforts for the relief OF suffering hu-

humanitarian: practical. In that II seeks
means and measures 10 meet the tragic
crises which are daily recurrent In the
lives OF all mankind.
Surely the operation OF such a plan
would dtvelop a new fraternity and
sympathy among the peoples. By so
doing an important contribution Will
have been made toward the success OF
the League OF Nations; and this present
plan should bt viewed as a vital factor
in the larger undertaking.
The League OF Nations aims 70 hold

be mighty poor material to put in the
presidential chair. If they have no
other reason for being presidential
candidates than the mistakes of Mr..
Wilson they should be retired to priv
ate life.
In this state it is the same with
the democrats. Candidates are spring
ing up for various offices and they
launch their candidates by an attack
of Governor LAWS and his administra-
ton. They are not offering us any
thing better than Governor Davis and
his commissioners Ahave given us, but
point out that the governor is wrong.
Such men are unfit for public trust.

THE NEGATIVE CANDIDATE.

THE NEGATIVE CANDIDATE.
The political party or candidate for
office who has nothing to RECON-
mend it or him except the mistakes
of others is mighty poor party or
man to support. Criticism and ridi-
cule of parties and men who are in
power and have accomplished much,
are not really solid foundations for
better government. What the voters
want and what they will demand are
ability and constructive ideas, not
parties and men who seek only to de-
strOy those in power. Finding fault
with party or principle will never
build up a party, country or an in
diyidual.
1t seems strange that men of more
than ordinary intelligence, when en-
tering politics, are seldom able to
find any issue than the mistakes OF
the party or candidate in power. But
this is the case. The "outs" are al
ways finding fault with the "ins"
whether it be parties or individuals
In national politics many men who
aspire to the presidential nomination
on the republican ticket have no 9TH
er excuse for being candidates than
that Wilson has done wrong or made
mistakes. They are not constructive
but wholly destructive. They do not
offer anything better than Mr. Wilson
has done OF given, but simply point
out that what he has done and what
he is are wrong Such men would
