10. What is a Mandatary2

10. What is a Mandatary2
A. Some one nation designated by
the League to attend to the welfare of
backward peoples residing in colonies
of the Central Empires, or in terri
tories taken from them" This is to be
a sacred trust" and in selecting a
mandatory the wishes Of the people
of the area in question shall be the
principal consideration.
II. Does the League mean a Super
nation7
A. No. II interferes in no way with
any Nations Sovereignty, except to
limit its power to attack other nations.
IL. Can any Nation withdraw when
It wishes2
A. Yes. The League is Advisory
and Cooperative, not coercive.
10. Does the League put Peace above
Justice and National HONOR
A. No. 1t puts Reason before Vio-
lence.
IA. Does not the League take away
the Constitutional right of Congress to
declare war?
A. No. The League can advise war;
Congress alone can Declare war.
is. Does it destroy the Monroe Doc
trine7
A. Exactly the contrary. For the
first time in history the other nations
recognize the Monroe Doctrine; and
extend it to all the world.
16. Does it not interfere with Treaty
Making Powers of the United States?
A. No. 1t is a Treaty. We can make
any Treaty we please.
II. Would we have had the Great
War if we had had this League?
A. No. That War cost the world
over 100000 lives and 200,00O000,00O
dollars.

kind in the history of the world.
10. Has not anyone right to OBJ
Iect to the League?
A. Yes. This is a free country. Any
one has a right to any opinion he
chooses.
20. Why is the League so bitterly
opposed by few?
A. Because, unfortunately, any
Treaty or League must be made by the
President, and a President is chosen
by a political party and many mem.
bers of the opposite Party think they
must decry whatever he does.
The council, the chief governing
body Of the League, cannot take
action without unanimous decision OF
it's members and since the United
States will have a representative in
the Council our interest will be pro-
tected there. We hear it said that the
League is formed for the benefit OF
Great Britain or Japan or some other
one nation. This is not true. All the
nations will gain by it, not only the
great nations such as the United
States, Great Britain, France, Japan
and Italy, but the little nations which
in the past have been oppressed by
their big neighbors. The international
court will give an opportunity for the

of silk in which plain satin stripe
and crepe stripe alternate, the satin
stripe in white and the other in light
green. The jacket, of white taffeta,
has a quilted pattern on the collar and
cuffs, and forming border at the bot
tom, having the stitching done in green
silk thread. Stitching covers the mar
row belt and defines the pocket, prov
ing a very original and beautiful en-
bellishment.
Roshanara crepe makes the unusual
dress at the right of the picture. 1t

achieves the effect of a loose cut-aWay
coat at the front, with fiaring sleeves
that are split up the back. Crepe
georgette is used in facings that ex-
tend beyond the edges of the sleeves
and coat drapery. 1t took audacity
to add a sash of the same material as
the dress, to this design, but it is here
and vindicates it's presence by finish
ing perfectly smart and comfortable

An Ocean Of Oil

IF just one half of the oil reports
and excitement have any foundation,
the entire south which hes west Of the
Mississippi River must be one vast
ocean Of oil, says George T. Pickett,
who has just returned from trip
north.
Up thru Arkansas in every small
town and all Of the large ones there
is talk of OIL Land is being leased
everywhere. Oil ought to come down
to decent and pre-war prices if enough
pumps are put to work bringing it up.
In some places some ingenious tricks
have been resorted to in making mon
ey out of oil where there is no oil.
Stock companies are organized, repre-
sentatives go into small towns, secure
offices, advertise, get lots of free pub
licity, and start to put down demon
stratidn we'll. There are always plenty
of indications. Most of those who do
the work take their pay in beautifully
engraved pieces of paper representing
capital stock. In fact, as many bills as
possible are paid with stock. The wild
cat we'll goes down, stock is sold mean
while for cash, the hole proves to be
Dilless, and the promoers depart for
new virgin territory. 1t is a neat and
probably legal way of making money
out Of oil, leaving behind groups of
sorrier and wiser people. Vernon will
probably have some experiences Of
this kind too when oil excitement gets
high enough to warrant it.

COAL MINERS HAVE GRIEVANCES

COAL MINERS HAVE GRIEVANCES
The coal miners have, without ques-
ton, good grounds for complaint a.
gainst their employers, since the con-
ditions in the coal regions do not pro-
perry take INTO account the rights of
the workmen. The popular impression
that the miners are striking for
shorter day is wrong; since their con-
tention Is to provide steadier employ
ment instead of sudden shutdowns,
which the operators order whenever
the demand for coal sIackens. This is
cne Of The burdens that the miners do
not believe they should be called upon
to bear. Despite all sorts of denials it
has come generally to be believed
that the operators manipulate coal
prices by juggling the supply, and this
belief is borne out by voIuminous fig
ures and tables introduced into the
Congressional Record by Senator
Owen. The coal miners and the public
are always the sufferers; and the min
ers want an end put to the practice of
keeping them in needless idleness for
long periods at time. The Govern
ment recognizes that it has a solemn
duty to perform in the coal regions,
and if conditions are as they appear
at this writing it is probable that even
in the coal mines there will be bene-
fetal effects from an era of ''house-
cleaning" The coal mining crisis APP
pears to be clearing the atmosphere
for better understandings between en-
ployers and empIoyes-and if the lab
or leaders have thoroly learned their
lesson real progress in bettering the in
dustrial situation may be expected.

The National
Capital
By ]. E. Jones

ing to the delegates to stick TO the
task and bring about a plan upon
which employers and employees could
operate the industries of the country
without strikes, lockouts and other dis
turbances. Samuel Gompers and his
group OF labor leaders threw defiance
to the President, to the Conference
and to he Nation, and boIted; with
ne result that the proceedings came to
a close. The steel strike was at its
helght, and the only prospect for bet
terment of the condition of the wage
earners in that industry laid in the
Conference itself. Next came the coal
strike, and the Government again pa-
tlently counseled against it, and offer
ed every facility to secure Justice for
the dlsputants. The leaders Of the
strike defied the Government. and M
Gompers proved to be the worst bor-
net OF all. This was the same Samuel
Gompers who has been pointed out as
the sane leader" and the great pat
riot. O'' t''''-
What happened is too well known to
need retelling, and whether or not the
Attorney General was justified in in
Vohng government by injunction"
need not be discussed here. The final
result is the more important. and The
only conclusion is that the labor lead
erS blundered on, to their own undo
ing. O"o'O
The labor leaders got the same
treatment that was administered 70
autocratic capitalists years ago. l. was
Spanking Number Two. And they got

flIcted earlier in our history upon The
capital. Autocracy of class is not at
home" in America.
Now, perhaps since capital and lab-
or have been brot to realize thai thew
are not as big as the Government Of
the United States, little common
sense may be injected into the struggle
between these classes. Defiance of The
United States government always has.
and always will fail
There are great object lessons to be
deducted from recent events. since
they have served to demonstrate that
capital and labor have failed in set
Ting the differences that exist between
them.
Both of them played the naughty
boy" act until their patient old Uncle
Sam lost his temper and gave them
their deserved spankings. 1t now re-
mains to be seem whether the Govern
ment itself, having demonstrated its
power, and convinced scepticaI people,
that it, as the supreme Government of
all the country. is bigger than any one
class, or two classes. or group of class
es, will find an intelligent way to put
an end to the foolish strikes and lock-
outs that distress the country, and sub
stitute therefor a sort of League of In
dustry to settle the problems of en-
ployers and employees; for strikes and
lockouts, like those which have thrown
between one and two million workmen
out of employment during recent
weeks. are nothing more than the mil
itaristic motion that the world is try
ing to supplant with peaceful and con-

SPANKTNG NUMBER TWO

In old days great capitalistic inter-
.ests assumed to run. manage and man.
ipuIate political affairs in town, city.
county and state, and there was a
popular impression that Washington
was their lead-pipe-sich. This condi-
ton gave birth to e insurgents in the
Republican party ,qnd progressive"
In both the Republican and Democrat
ic parties, and there also appeared a
lot of Socialists, and other radicals,
all of whom have been running wild
thruoue the land, doing considerable
good Gard harm) thru their various
activities. The net result of all these
changes in the public temper has been
that popular government has never
prospered more in the United States
than during the past ten or fifteen
years. The voters of the counry liter
ally took the capitalistic interests a.
cross their knees and padded them
good; and the intelligent observer
must agree that the operation was a
fine thing for the country.
The wage earners of the counry
looked on at this performance and APP
plauded heartily. When the chastise-
merit commenced a few clever labor
leaders startd to build up a great Or
ganization, and under the masterful
leadership of Samuel Gompers they
finally placed themselves in the sad
die during the period of war excite
ment. American labor stood squarely
back of the Government and was 10y
al to the core. 1t registered 100 per
cent IN helping to win the war.
Meanwhile while fighting for Dem
ocracy in Europe the conviction set
tied itself upon our Nation that there
should be a more equal distribution Of
it among the laboring men in the u
nited States. A few labor leaders mis-
taking the desire of the Nation to
work out intelligent reforms in the in
dustrial situation, thot that their in
dividual leadership was getting all
the applause, and in the cocksured-
ness that they were ''it?" they came
forward and defiantly threatened
everybody and everything that stood
in their pathway The Railroad Bro
therhoods went before Congress and
boldly threatened to tie up the rail-
roads so they never will run again"
unless their legislative schemes (Which
Congress believes to be wholly vis-
icInary and unsound) t,v'ere passed.
The police of many cities, including
those in the National Capital, became
troublesome owing to their affiliation
with the American Federation of Lab
or; and a brave Governor in the old
Bay State handled the Boston situa-
ton in a way that was later over
whelmingly approved by the voters OF
Massachusetts.
In the hope of finding better meth
cd than strikes and lockouts the Pres
ident of the United States assembled
the representatives of capital and lab
or in an Industrial Conference in
Washington, and at critical time in
the proceedings President Wilson sent
a message from his sick room appeal
