BEST Thing Yet Suggested"

Best Thing Yet Suggested
TO tho Editor Of the Euentng Public
Ledger!
Sir--I surely sympathize with Mr..
Wilson in his effort to get peace on a
hrmer basis. The league of nations
seems the best thing yet suggested. 1t
is not perfect, of course. Still, 1t Is an
earnest effort at definite understand
ing.
] am decidedly in favor of it until
something better is suggested. The OBJ
structive tactics of certain so-called
statesmen seem ill-advised and untimely.
Hurrah for the Missouri Legislature
and its treatment of Reed!
Congratulations for the good work
you are doing.

The League and Other Things

TO the Editor Of the Euening Public
Ledger:
Sir--I have read and reread an
article in the Evening Ledger of even
date signed by a person calling himself
Milan f. Hawkins, 1O4 East Twenty
ninth street, New York, and I fail to
find where he has answered your aues-
ton as to how he stands on the league
of nations ] may be dull Of compre-
hension, but take his remarks as be-
ing centered on the Prohibition question.
Pardon the Introduction. am an
American in politics. an independent
Republican. | never tasted liquor or
(using NJ. e. Hawkins terms) neither
am ] in any way connected or derive
any profit from any hop growers, brew
ers or booze makers, cabarets; neither
am I a night prowler, rounder or an
idler. My ancestry was Scotch. SO
am in no way related to a Hun.
don't belong to any labor union. | am
just plain man with a grain of COM
mon sense and liberal in my views. I
don't back up the Republican or Demo-
cratic senator's who are against the
league Of nations. ! am for the league
Of nations. NJ. f. Hawkins words show
very plainly that he is an ardent pro-
hibitionist, a radical whose mind to say
lHt least, is very hdIIoW. "HeIe lie
has talked to scores of people of the
same mind as he, too have talked to
more than scores of people who think
as do, that to take away an Americans
liberty, the dearest thing an American
possesses, is to make him an enemy
of his government. How would NJ. L.
Hawkins think and talk If he was denied
the use OF his beloved tobacco, tea,
coffee or milk, all of which can be
abused and are abused the same as
liquor? What does restraint do to a
man? Are we to be dressed up in
kimonos and given knitting to do or
help NJ. L. Hawkins in building blocks
and chasing rainbows? In closing,
would commend to NJ. e. Hawkins the
article written by Harry G. Cope as
sane and lucid answer to your ques-.
ton.

Favors League as Formed by Conference

To the Editor Of the Evening Public
Ledger:
Sir--Please register my vote for the
league OF nations program as it will be
drawn by the Peace Conference. We
must have the league now or never, and
no body of men could ever draw up a
plan which would suit every one. SO
let US have what Is decided upon by
the able men in Paris who are giving
their best efforts to this great work,
and let us demand It be accepted with
out any delay.

Hail 10 the Dawn

TO the Editor Of the Evening Public
Ledger:
Sir-Please record my vote in favor OF
the league OF nations. I favor it just
rs it is in its present form. or as 1t may
be amended by the lofty spiritual forces
working through the hearts and souls
of the members of the Peace Conference
How fortunate we mortals be, to have
for a leader such an unselfish heart, and
clear minded soul as President Wilson.
Hail to the dawn of the fatherhood
OF God and the brotherhood of man.
Right worthy welcome! Let US not be
alarmed at the selfish expressions of
Lodge, Penrose, and the rest of the old
time politions; they are influenced by
the dying walls of the recedng dark
forces.

Opposes League Because of Wilson's
Course

To the Editor of the Erening Public
Ledger:
Sir--I am opposed to the league Of
nations as formulated by Mr.. Wilson be-
cause of the fact that his self-appoint-
,rent as ambassador and his adviser. Mr.
House, and other advisers illegal,
and also all his acts in regard to the
league of nations while in Europe, as
Article II, Section 2 Of the constitution,
defines his powers as follows:
HE shall have the power. by and with
the advice and consent Of the Senate,
to make treaties, provided two-thirds of
the Senator's present concur, and he
shall nominate and, by and with the ad-
vice and consent of the Senate, appoint
ambassa doris"
In place Of following out the instruc-
tions of the constitution Mr. Wilson saw
fit to ignore them and to ignore Con-
gress and treat them as he would some
of the students at Princeton College
when he was employed there. By his
acts he insulted Congress by ignoring
them as If he was the whole thing. and
II Is no wonder they are indignant. If
ANYTHING he should be impeached for his
illegal acts in violating one of the pro-
visions of the constitution of the United
States. If 1 was a member of Congress
| would prefer the charges. r. F. w.

the obstacles which are seen now may
be smoothed away after the league has
been formed.
j. d. Lewis. a mining superintendent
of Shenandoah, Pa. said he opposed the
league because he believed it would

the nations of Europe ''arent's thinking

I'VE have reached the point today.
said Mr.. Lewis. where we are all abso-
lutely Independent acknowledgements

Cerities in this league For example, l
believe that III any conference of the
nations Of the earth. Ireland should be
represented as an independent nation
ality. Yet England preaching her doc
trine of universal humanity, has not for
a moment released her grip on Ireland.
She will always hold Ireland--that is.
she will hold her until Ireland is torn
from her grasp.
I'VE will be called upon to pay more
heavily for the support Of the league Of
nations than any other single nation on
earth. We will be expected to furnish
material and to help finance wars in
which we can have no possible interest
And the other nations of the earth YOU
