Peace for the World

This week the United States Senate will probably
take action on the League OF Nations.
Ii is one OF the most momentous actions taken
by For ages good men have hoped for such thing
as a league OF nations. We have discovered that two
who quarrel can find justice better in court than in
fight with fists weapons. And We have found that
two states for example, Kentucky and Ohio,
tie any dispute better in court than by war.
The great world has brought things to such
condition that league OF nations can be started more
hopefully than at any previous time in history The lead
ing nations OF the world have out with declar-
atoms backed by real sentiment and conviction in favor
of Justice And the power which has put down Germany
would be able to prevent any other act OF wickedness
like Germanys invasion OF Belgium. The Allies, if they
will stand together, establish justice and police the
world
A group of United States Senators, mostly Republi-
regret to say opposed TO having the United
States join this League OF Nations. Their reasons
these
In the first place. President Wilson did not consult
them in advance they think he ought have done
This probably true but it ought prevent them
now from doing what will be for the benefit Of the United
States and of the world.
Secondly, they think this League is very imperfect
This is also true but the United States govern
ment imperfect when it first formed 1t has been
greatly improved but is imperfect still Nevertheless
it great deal better than nothing 1t will be with
the League OF Nations In its present imperfect form it
be improved but it can never be improved unless it
has a beginning and never likely to have begin
ming unless make il now.
Thirdly, these senator's claim that it is contrary to
the American idea for to ourselves with the
affairs OF the old world This the doctrine of President
Monroe, but he worked it the other way prevent Euro
pean countries from establishing colonies in Central and
South America. Now conditions have greatly changed
From weak country America has become the strongest
in the world. All Europe has adopted great many A.
merican IDEAS France and England great Republics
and the Republican idea is great and growing in all other
lands Besides this closer to the old world with
steam navigation and Atlantic cables Any trouble in
any part of the world will affect According to the
terms OF the League OF Nations we shall exclude Euro
pean operations from America. But ought to be proud
and glad to join hands with England and France in look
ing out for justice ever shsss ID toiins .hi wulld
The prayers OF thousand years for the advancement
of peace and righteousness all tell today in favor of the
League OF Nations

America for Law and Order

II there is any idea which is American it is the
idea that law and order shall prevail The people will
and magistrates shall punish crime and protect property

fact that there in Northern cities groups Of peo

The "Whlts Feather"

The expression, "He showed the

ence TO game cocks. Pure-bred game
cocks have only red and black feath-
ers. but crossbreeds have white
feather In the tail. The slightest i'm
purity In strain Is said to destroy the
birds pluck. hence the white feather
Is used TO denote cowardice.

'blIllle; LAW OF -. :, o. q. :

Mexico City, Aug. 2s.-(Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press.)-
The mining law Of 1884 is unconstftu-
tional and illegally except hydrocar-
Donates in the soil and subsoil from
the national domain, according to a
letter from Jose Vasquez Schiaffina,
chief Of the petroleum section of the
Department of Industry and Com
merce, in Ell Universal. Protest by
foreign oil interests against alleged
confiscatory oil DEGREES is based on
rights acquired under this law.
In framing the oil law initiative.
sent by President Carranza to con-
greas last November for developing
Article 81 Of the constitution, Mr..
Schiaff1no said, his department was
impelled by the highest motives and
sought to protect vested interests and
investments. He asserted that the
reading Of the transitory provisions of
this initiative would show that, in re-
gard to vested interests created by the
protection Of former laws, only a Sim
pie tax was imposed.
With regard to the mining law Of
1884, his statement said: "This de-
partment has not interpreted capri
ciously in a Thousand different ways
Article 81; but In only one way, the
revindication Of the dominion Of the
nation over the hydrocarbonates Of
the sofl and subeoil and its incorpora-
ton into the mining regime which al
ways has been in force in Mexico
since the time Of the Spanish domina-
tion, and from which it was illegal

law. (The~ mining law Of 1S6l.)"
