PICKED UP" HIS EDUCATION
How One Man Acquired Knowledge by His Habit of Asking
 'Why7" and "What7"

His youth knew full well the pinch of poverty and he learned not only what the dollar will buy, but, more important, what it will not buy.
 "So it happens" writes Bruce Bar ton in ''The Best Educated Man Know" in the Red Cross magazine. "that while have heard much talk of books in his home and of social problems and international affairs, l have never yet heard a member of the family mention money. Which, in it. self. is enough to confirm me in my judgment that he is, altogether. the best educated man I know"
 "He went to Europe one summer with party of people" the writer con tinues. "One of the ladies brought back a very confused notion of what Europe contains. She was sure of only two things; she had seen Venice and Vesuvius, but she was very hay as to which is which. My friend, whose means have not permitted him to make second journey, knows Flu rope like a man who had lived there for years. He prepared for the jour ney before he sailed; he asked ques- tions unceasingly at every point; he formed friendships with learned men fn various countries and has kept up. correspondence with them ever since. Confined as he is to a com paratively small city, he is none the less a citizen of the world and noth- ing that happens in it. no experience or chance acquaintance fails to yield it's full measure of interest and added wisdom to him.
 "A knowledge of the value of time. a love of books, fine habit of asking why and 'what'-these are the chief stones on which my friends education is builded. And to them I should add one final and most important item his unf1agging interest in people,

Perhaps They're Still Digging.

There is a legend among the negroes of South Carolina that back in the old pirate days Captain Kidd and Cap tain Morgan and the others used to sail up the Savannah river and bury their stolen doubloons and pieces of eight In the sands of the cypress swamps. A fortune teller once came through and for consideration of $25 each agreed to tell the negroes just where the gold was buried He col lected several hundred dollars, and then with a great deal of ceremony staked out as many locations in the sand as he had customers He then told them very solemnly to come to that spot in the light of the moon stand directly over the stake and dig at the end of their shadow. Then he sailed away on a river steamer. And he never came back.

League Covenant is exception

League Covenant is exception al. On the Pacific Coast, the inter-mountain region, and in the middle states most of the great Republican newspapers are as earnestly advocating the adoption of the treaty as are the Democratic and independ- ent newspapers. I know from what 1 have heard and seen that these papers accurately re- fleet the sentiment of the peo- pie.
 High Cost of Living
 My view is that the people want the treaty quickly dis, posed of so that Congress may turn it's attention to important domestic and economic sub- Jects. While the country was never more prosperous than it is at the present time, it is eq- ually true that the purchasing power of the dollar is far less than normal. This the people have difficulty in understand ing. The high cost of living is real problem in most American households. Every effort should be made to relieve this burdensome condition. There are many related questions of reconstruction which ought to have immediate attention.
 The people have no pa- tience with those statesmen who waste time in useless in- vestigations of the conduct of a war which has been won and won gloriously, nor with those bitter partisans who seem to think they were elected to make lengthy speeches attack ing the President. What the people want is constructive ac- ton, not destructive criticism.
 AS democrat, I suppose I should be pleased at the woeful failure of the Republican ma jority in Congress to do any thing worth while, but as an American, I can only regret the feeble leadership of the party now in control of the legislative branch of the Government
 Discussing the political out look. MT. Cummings said:

People are Overwhelmingly for League; Opposition Crumbling,

 Washington, D. C.-Homer S.Cummings, Chairman of the Democratic National Commit tee, has returned to Washington from a two months tour which embraced nearly all of the States west of the Mississippi. River.
 Although his trip primarily was to confer with party lead- CTS upon matters pertaining to organization, MT. Curuint,5 ad- l dressed many gatherings Of a non-political nature upon the League of Nations and related subjects. He expressed the firm conviction that the great mass of the people, regardless of party afiliation, favor a speedy ratification of the peace treaty.
 My sincere belief, based up- on personal observation" said MT. Cummings, is that the people are overwhelmingly in favor of the League of Nations. l believe further that they are satisfied with the covenant as 1t stands and are not impressed with the alleged necessity for senatorial reservations or inter- pretations.
 They see in the League cov- enant not political issue, but a great humanitarian associa- ton designed to prevent future war. I found little sympathy among the big-hearted men and women of the West for those who merely criticise the League, without offering bet ter substitute of their own. League Opposition CrumbIing
 "One who has traversed this great country, as I have just done, cannot fail to note that opposition to the League is rap- idly crumbling. I have abso- lute confidence that the people will respond to the appeal of the President for the ratiica- tion of the treaty and that the Senate, taking it's cue from pub lie sentiment, will give official sancton to the great work of the President and his col leagues in the peace confer ence.
 "Here in Washington, where partisanship is strong, one finds bitter opponents of the League, and indeed of everything else proposed by the Administration but that is not true of the coun- try at large. One feels the difference immediately upon leaving the confines of the Dis trict of Columbia.
 While I have just come from the West, within recent months I havebeen in various sections of the country and I can say in all truthfulness that opposition to early ratification of the peace treaty and the

labor provisions it contains which, ac-
cording to cable message from Pres

though not materially,
In giving its approval by a vote of

convention of the American Fedora

nothing in the endorsement can
be construed as denying the right of
self-determination and freedom to
Ireland as recognized by this conven-
ton.
An amendment containing the Irish
provision was adopted unanimously.

president of the federation, asking in
formation about changes reported in

your message came while ! was in
Belgium and reached me too late to

provisions are somewhat weakened,
it is the opinion of friends of labor

SHERMAN FEARS COVENANT
OF LEAGUE THREAT TENS TO
REOPEN RELIGIOUS STRIFE
(By Morning journal Special Leased Wire)

Washington, June 2O.--A warning
that the league of nations may end
the separation of the church and state
and bring the civilized world under
the domination of the vatican, was
given in the senate today by Senator
Sherman, republican, of Illinois, who
declared the Roman Catholic church
would be represented in the league
assembly by twenty-four votes out of
fortyfive.
From an early age said the Illi-
nois senator, the occupants of the
vatican have believed in the inherent
right of papal authority to administer
civil government. 1t is with the ut

"Of the original thirty-two member
nations signatories to the proposed

these twenty eight Christian nations
seventeen are Catholic nations, either
majority or an overwhelming pre-
ponderance of the population being of
that religious faith and eleven are
Protestant. The seventeen nations will
be represented in the league in all hu-
