Mr.. Taft and the League.

cleveland Plain Deaier)
4 Cleveland speaker declared the
other day that the real father OF the
league Of nations. in this country at
least, was not Woodrow Wilson. but
William H. Taft. Those who heard
the former president in thi. city
Tuesday evening srealize that, wheth-
er Mr. Taft is primarily responsible
for the league or not. his advocacy
Of the pending covenant is a power
ful influence in its favor.
Unlike certain noisy leaders OF his
own party. Mr.. Taft refuses to con-
slider the league Of nations as in any
sense a partisan issue. He sees the
prevention OF war as 80 much more
important than mere party success
that he is willing to forget what
some believe to be the dictates of
party wisdom and work for the tri-
umph of a great history making re-
form whio h the man who defeated
him for the presidency puts before
the senate to ratify.
Mr.. Taft is first an American and
then Republican. His analysis Of
conditions which brough! this war
proves the absolute necessity of some
kind OF international organization
attuned 10 the purpose Of preventing
such wholesale bioodshed in the flu
ture. His analysis Of the league
covenant shows II to he thoroughly
in accord with American ideals and
institutions. America is surrender
ing nothing bu, gaining the meal
cuia t,e blessing of a reasonable in
eura nee against war.
The former president served his
country well in thus arguing for
leagu OF nations. 1t is another of
the many distinguished services per
formed by one who never put party
above country nor abandoned princi-
pie for expediency.

A Few Mers Months 81 Score Profits.
President Wilson lines up squarely
for the interests of those who make
and sell wines ana beers.
Nc. there is no other reasonable
conclusions, for
II wartime prohibition was for the
purpose of saving food. the world is
still short Of food
II Wartime prohibition was to
preserve better civic order and crk-
ate Sreater efficiency in production.
both Are as necessary in peace as in
war.
II the necessity for maintaining
community intelligence. decency and
respect for law is greater than the
rights Of self indulgence in war
time. then any honest person OF COM
mon sense must admit that the same
necessity exists in peace time.
The people Of the nation have de-
clAred % emphatically that even
Woodrow Wilson must have heard of
it. that community rights to pro-
lection from personal indulgence of
bad habits. the careless spreading Of
contagious diseases. the degrading of
children. ana the embarrassment of
others in public places. are Of great
er importance than gratifying the
Appetites Of individuals or filling the
tiils Of conscienceless trade.
knowing these things President
Wilson deliberately urges Congress
to give to the clamorins booze in:
terests 4 few more months Of Ii
censed right to rob children Of bread
and shoes, to rob mothers and wives
OF care and love and home comforts.
to rob sons and brothers of every
finer instinct and sensibility. to rob
fathers and husbands OF decency
tenderness and honor. and 10 suck
the most sacred attributes from the
lives Of every possible woman vic
tim.
And our President does this be-
cause some men still shamelessly
CLAIM to have convictions" that
are bigger than Gods precepts-
when Greed beckons persuasively
enough. Thank God the day is at
hand when any man must frankly
admit poltroonery or plain cussed
ness to line up with interests whose
every product is evil.
woodrow Wilson stands not a
ghost Of a show for further public
preferment in this country and he
knows it His attitude in favor OF
booze proflts for Z few more months
cannot harm his political prospects.
But il the Congress turns a willing
ear to gfeed the men Of the Repuh-

THE BRITISH RAILROAD
