THE STRANGERS GROW APoLoGETIc

/ IF DEFEAT Of the treaty of peace by repub-
Ecan senators was a victory for-their party,
leaders of the G.. o. p assuredly are not de-
meaning themselves as victors. They are grow
ing cautious, timid apologetic. Chairman Hays
of the republican national committee has or
dered that soundings of public sentiment be
taken in every bailiwick Of his partisan con-
gressmen to determine the extent of the reaction
| following the treaty's rejection He is showing
fear that the peoples verdict may hold him and
the senatorial reactionaries responsible for pro-
longing industrial unrest, the high cost of liy-
ing, burdensome taxation, the danger of inter
national complications and all the other con-
comtant evils of war.
There are evidences, then that the senators
who strangled the treaty and prevented a for
NAL conclusion Of peace have least Of all found
favor with the politicians Of then CWn party.
| 1t is not too much to believe that, when the
signs of popular disapprova begin to multiply,
these senators may be blamed by the very lead
ers-ncludng Will H. Hays-who inspired and
encouraged them to make ratification Of the
treaty game of politics instead of momentous
duty in behalf of their country and the ENTIRE
world
1t is already manifest that Senator Lodges
proposal to make the treaty an issue in the
presidential campaign has caused trepidaton
among the "practcals' Of the G. O. P. They
do not welcome the prospect of so plain and
specific a question being referred to the people
They prefer to stake their hopes on generali-
ties and patitudes They know in advance
that the voters could easily decide which of the
two parties spoke the will and sought the well
fare of the country during the fight to adopt
the treaty and end the war.

Otherwise you become like the moth

II you agree so far, the question is
for what will you be selfish? A soft

THE SUSPECT

The o. ID. had given instructions
for sentinels to challenge all persons
after ten o'clock, but to challenge any
suspicious characters before that
hour. About 7.30 in the evening a
sentinel saw a man in uniform enter
shed in which automobiles were
kept, and q few minutes later come
out and start away with hurried
step. He was new on the job and
was taking no chances, so who's
,there?" he called.
"The Colonel" came the reply.
Advance and be recognized"
''Who in the devil ever told you to
challenge at this time OF the night?"
the Colonel asked.
The corporal of the guard"
''DO You mean to tell me that he
told you to challenge everyone?"
NO, sir; but he said to challenge
all suspicious characters. Judge.
