WOULD NOT TRUST
LEAGUE DOUBTERS
Ex-President Taft Says He is
Glad Wilson Went
to Europe

San Francisco, Feb. 20.-The
gentlemen in the Senate who are
setting out to defeat this league OF
nations are those 1 would not trust
overnight" former President Will
liam II. Taft said yesterday at a
luncheon given in his honor.
''They are citing the constitution
as an argument against it," contin-
ued Mr.. Taft.
'I revere and worship that great
instrument, and 1t is new story to
me if the constitution prevents this
people from playing their part In
bringing peace and order and hap
piness to ourselves and the other
peoples of the world.
'"This is not political question.
God forbid. I am glad President
Wilson went to Europe, because he
went bearing promise of league
of nations. -
"The application at this time OF
the doctrine of avoiding entangling
alliances is reactionary to the ex-
tent of delaying world peace QUE
hundred years. The question at this
time is whether the whole great
plan of the league of nations is to
be defeated because we can't get q
two-thirds majority of our Senate
for its ratification"

Washington, Feb. 2o.--Critcism
of the constitution of the league OF
nations was opened in the House
late yesterday with an address py
Representative Fess, of Ohio, Re
publican, who declared the. league
plan was "monstrous" and hlled
with vicious possibilities"
Just as soon as the american
people shall grasp the Vicious pos
s;bilities herein included" said Mr..
Fess. "there will be such a revolu-
tion of sentiment aroused that any
man who will subscribe to this per-
petual surrender of this republics
future to a vote of foreign nations
will be, as he should be, repudiated
as an enemy to the spirit and genius
of American institutions"

WORRIED over HAT
Legislators Must Solve Problem
Of Etiquette.
Rules Governing Procedure Of British
House Of Commons viii Rave
to Be Radically Revised to
Fit New Times.

Members of the British hoaSe OF
commons stand ~self-accuseL, and wnni-
en- are beginning to understand why
there was SO much opposition uu the
question Of their being allowed 10 Sit
in parliament.
1.-THE house of is not a tit
and proper place for respectable Nor,-
making a speech in regard to the pro
posal. II oppose this resolution he
continued, mot because ! do not love
the female sex but because | adore
women. But is it IA proper thing fer
women to be sitting here until IL
O'Clock Mt night? When W. sit until
2 and ; in the morning the historic cry
of Who goes homer will become Who
will take me homer"
In the future the big strangers gal
lery will be open to women as we'll as
men, but the ladies' gallery will still
continue to be restricted to the eXc.u-
sive use Of women, SO that whatever
Of privileged sex position still remains
in parliament will be to the advantage
of the gentle sex. Thus are the tables
turned.
Many amusing queries are being put
to perplexed politicians. The concen-
trated wisdom Of Il thousand years
has made rules, and the rules have
been for men only.
One thing that becomes Il problem
is the etiquette OF the hat. A rule in
this connection is that if a member
wishes to address the house he must
remain uncovered" Male members
now have visions of the new woman
member standing up and removing her
latest Paris creation. OF necessity she
must have a mirror to arrange her
~diSheveled locks.
Another point Of etiquette DEGREES
that when rising to speak in debate
the member must be covered" VIII
she in her hurry grab the hat off the
head Of the nearest victim so as 10 be
in order?
The hat problem becomes more and
more complicated as matters proceed.
When a member is referred to in a
speech by another member-especially
in the case Of a compliment from Il
minister (And the male members gloom
lily fOresee that women will get the
lions share of these)-he acknowl-
edges it by raising his hat. BY the
time the female member has finished
wrestling with half a dozen hatpins
the minister will be through with his
compliment and on to the next subject
for debate.
These, and other similar problems,
are vexing political etiquette. What is
going to happen to parliament ii all
the fOrlnalities and rules are to he
swept away in a tempestuOus whirl of
p~etticOatS? The honorable male mem
bers don't knOw-but the ONE de-
clare the time thus saved will be spent
in making cOmmOn-senSe laws for the
good Of mankind.

he would be u skeptic who would as
sociate the word pessimism with her
present condition. Canada dep.ores
the heavy human loss which she has
suffered, but even those akin to those
lost In battle say with cheerfulness
that while the sacrifice was great, the
cause was wonderful, and accept
their sufferings with grace. 1t may
well be said there Is no room in Gun
ada today for the pessimist. The ag-
ricultural production Of the country
has doubled in four years. $4,000
coo are the railway earnings today
or 3h times what they were ten years
ago. while the bank deposits are now
81. 733. GOO, 600 as compared with $133,-
100000 thirty years ago.
There is u wonderful promise for
the future.
1t is with buoyancy that Canada
faces an era OF peace. She has tri-
ulnphed over the soul-testing crisis Of
war. Before the war Canada was =
borrower. and expected to continue 50
for many years. For the past year and
4 half We have seen her finance her
self. She has also been furnishing
credits to other nations.

The same paper says:
1T Is a new Canada that energies

the conflict In 1914.
The war has taken from Canada q
