PEACE LEAGUE

What the American people want is she worldwide rule of justice. What the Shuts Wilson league of nations scheme provides is the worldwide sway of force.
 What the American people asked and expected, following that prompt decision of the immediate issues of the war which, to the worlds peril, Aas been denied it, was a charter Of international law, interpreted by a court of nations, "composed", as Colonel Roosevelt said, "of repre- sentatives from each nation, these representatives being sworn to act as judges in each case, and not in representative capacity"
 What they are offered is world parliament, bound by no guarantees, 1f fundamental reserved national rights; world autocracy governed ;, by a majority on the basis of interest that majority being alien in interest and spirit to this republic.
 A spokesman of the administration {Senator Hitchcock) says that this pact creates "a powerful legislative, executive and judicial body" It does. Alexander Hamilton said that fhe combination of all, or any two of these powers in one body was &fthe essesnce of tyranny" Montes- quieu said that such, a combination was destructive of liberty" / This scheme embodies the socialist theory of the state; world government by those who claim to theory of the state; government by the majority, restrained by checks and balances guaranteeing deliberative decision, and limited by the reserved rights of the individual, al,-or in this case of the nation member of this pro- posed world state.
 Put forward in the name of peace it pledges us to enter every war which alien decision may make ours
 Put forward in the name of jus tice, it binds us on penalty of armed Invasion to the acceptance Of every arbitrary decision, right or wrong,

CORTEZ HOUR OF TRIUMPH
Impressive Scene When the Spanish Adventurer Met Emperor Mon-
 tezuma of Mexico.

On the morning of November 8, 1519, the Spaniards were on the cause way which was one of the three to con- meet Tenochtitlan with the mainland, and so wide that eight of the Span ish cavalry could ride abreast on it. On all sides, in the road and in ca noes on the lake. a crowd of Aztecs gazed at the descendants of the god who had at last, as they believed, car ried out his promise. At the entrance to the city they were greeted by 1000 principal citizens with salutations and kissing of hands to the bare earth ; and then, after crossing draWbridge, they saw approaching in a gorgeous litter none other than the great Mon tezuma, escorted by POO of his cour- tiers.
 Never has there been more impress sive scene in the history of the Amer ican continent than this meeting be- tween the emperor of all Mexico and the Spanish adventurer. The pictur- esque surroundings, the silver-towered city rising from the gleaming lake, the countless hosts of gayly dressed sub- iects watching in awed silence, the magnificence of Montezuma and his train, the bronze, war-worn yet fiery appearance of the Spaniards-all these seem like a page from the Arabian Nights" rather than sober history. The Spaniards, we may be sure, realized they were living a romance of the first order, and their hearts beat high with triumph, as with swords clanking and horses prancing they advanced into this city of legend.-From "Mexi- CO.," by Louise S. Hasbrouck.

SMOKING TOBACCO FACTS FROM THE
 ENCYCLOPAEDIA
The Use of FlavOrings Deter
 mines Difference In Brands

The Encyclopedia Britannica says about the manufacture of smoking to- bacco: ." on the Continent and in America, certain sauces are employed e. the use of the sauces is to improve the favour and burning qualities of the leaves" Which indicates that a smokers enjoyment depends as much upon the flavoring used as upon the tobacco
 Your nose is a sure guide in the mat ter of flavorings. Try this simple test with several tobacco brands: pour some tobacco into your palm, rub brislkly, and smell. You will notice a distinct difference in the fragrance of every brand. The tobacco that smells best to you will smoke best in your pipe, you can rest assured.
 Carefully aged, old Rurley tobacco, plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance your nose can quickly distinguish from any other tobacco. Try it and see.

Don't Vote the Good Old States Dry

From far across the ocean, We are sending an appeal, As to certain things that's going on, And talk the way we feel. We left the good old U. S. A. To come, to do or die; And now while we are gone away, They want to vote her dry. We left the place in damn good shape The day we said goodbye, And we are coming back some day Or know the reason why. We came o'er here to do a job, And all intend to stay, Until everything is settled,
 In the Yankee Doodle way. It makes us sore to hear one say "I believe she's going dry' And to think one can't do a thing, No matter how we try. We sailed away and across,
 We left it all to you, To take good care of everything, Is what we expect of you. Don't put your home town on the
 bum,
 While we are here in France, Why not wait until we come back, And give us all a chance? If they vote her dry and dim her
 lights,
 And put the ban on beer, We might as well not go back at all, But stay right lover here" When we get back and meet our
 friends,
 It will be one grand "Hello", But 1 guess that we'll have to stay at
 home,
 For there'll be no place to go. T3:a i3 tho vsico Of Ill yoa-

THE BOOSTERS LESSON

Learn a lesson from the rooste,'
 Ever ready be to crow, Stop your knocking, be booster
 If you want the town to grow. While the hen her job is tack!ing,
 The old rooster's just on show, But when she begins hor cackling,
 Then he boosts her wi.l nis crow So, if you are not Q worker,
 But desire the town to grow, Help the fellow who's no shriler,
 Over his achievements crow. Factories are not all we need,
 We should have more civic pride; There is work for every creed
 To boom the village far and wide So, get busy be a booster,
 Stop your croaking, help u< grow Learn a lesson from the rooster,
 Never knock, but alweys crow.

After the Fire.

When ire has swept a bit of wood land the flowers that start the follow ing season are often not the same as grew there before and frequently are strange to the locality. Queer legends have grown up to account for this fact but the explanation is in reality very simple. Down under the surface soil these seeds have been waiting no one knows how long. They never had a chance before fire gave it.
