TREATY WILL WIN.

The harder the fight against the
appears TO be guaranteed the senate
acceptance. Some of the leaders IN
the senate are hammering away good
and hard daily, but there is little force
in their blows. There are charges and
objections to this and that in the
league. but little weight is put into
the punches. Most of what is said is
against President Wilson. To listen
to the objections he is the guiltiest
man in the whole world. He literally
sold out his country to satisfy his per-
sonal ambitions. 1t is strange to hear
all these hard things said of man
who appears to have so strong hold
upon the country and the world at
large. Stories are daily printed about
his losing strength before the world
AS matter of fact, it is question If
his fame has begun to get real hold
on the world as yet. Mr.. Wilson went
to Europe for the purpose of helping
to frame proper treaty of peace. and
he carried along program in connec-
ton with the League of Nations. He
fought long and hard for the mainte-
nance of his principles, and today we
have the league all formulated, accept
ed by the leading minds of the whole
world. and finally as fitting crown
to the labors of the conference he
brings home the treaty accepted and
signed by Germany. All of its provi-
sions and conditions recognized by all
fair minded people everywhere as
drastic, but withal just, and coming
home he finds criticism only from his
political opponents, and they jump his
collar from pure jealousy, for it is be-
lieved that had member of their par
ty brought home such formidable and
satisfactory peace treaty it would have
gone through in a jiffy. But then there
are some very big Republicans who be-
lieve it will go through anyhow, so
what's the odds?

THE IRISH CASE.

Concerning the present mission or
President Valera in the United States,
it is to be hoped that some OF his more
sagacious Irish-American friends will
give him good advice, says the New
York Evening Post. If they do they
will tell him that many Americans who
have been in favor of Irish home rule
all their lives were made sick at heart
by the course of Sim Fein during the
war. The utter want of political and
moral perception which many Irish
leaders showed; their willingness that
Germany should win the war if only
that meant the downfall of England;
German emissarieS and readiness to
accept German money and German
armS-all this filled with amaZement
and pain Americans who had steadily
championed Ireland'S cause. Now, Mr..
Valera and the others ought to know
given in a day. They have to encoun-
ter in this country feeling like that
displayed by President Wilson when
he refused to meet a delegation of
Irish-Americans if Judge Cohalan We're
at its head. Still with the heartiest
sympathy for Ireland. Americans are
not going to shake the hand of Irish
men who were on the side of Germany
in the war. Nor are they going to lis
ten with patience to the prepoSterouS
demand that our government "recOg-
niZe" the Irish republic. Even Senator
Borah, when driven into a corner, con-
feSsed that he was not prepared to
take step which would mean war
with England So that President Vale
IA, if he is well advised, will refrain
from identifying himself with political
movements openly hostile and insult
ing to President Wilson and will see
the necessity of placating, instead of
further inflaming, large body of
American opinion that the pro-German
Irish deeply offended.

HOW TO TEST A MAN.

"Ten Ways to Test the Fineness of
Man is the title of an article in the
August American Magazine that every
man and woman should read In a
subhead to the article is the injunc-
ton, TRY them on yourself" OF its
kind it is the best example of the right
thought as associated with what
should constitute the better man that
the editor of the "Palisadian" has ever
read. The effort of the able author is
to preach the making of man by sim
pie qualifications which he states. Any
man reading "Ten Ways to Test the
Fineness of a Man" and not feeling its
uplift and inspiriting influence would
probably fit we'll under at least one or
two of the impulses that lead men to
be Indifferent to moral force. If you
have not read this masterpiece of Dr.
Cranes, by all means buy the Ameri-
can for August.

POLITICAL ADVENTURES.

Republican leaders, if they are not
blind and besotted, must perceive
gathering danger A faction, perhaps
a party, is visibly forthcoming TO OPP
pose the League of Nations as a part
of scheme to oppose other things. 1t
is thoroughly ''anti" party. 1t is
anti-League, but it is also anti-Japa-
nese. 1t is ant-MeXican and anti-Eng-
lish One has but TO consider the way
in which Wilson and the League and
England were COMPREHENSIVE Kissed
and booed at the meeting of the Irish
in Madison Square Garden in order to
understand the mischief that is afoot.
The aim is to rally every disturbing
and descriptive force; to assert the
narrowest kind of selfish and quarrel

THE AMERICAN LEGION.

Interest in the American Legion is
being localized as well as nationalized.
A writer in Golfers Weekly says it
is going to be Uncle Sans best asset.
No doubt of it. 1t has been started
in a large way, and is going ahead on
a proper basis. There are over 4,O00,-
600 young men able to affiliate in the
Legion. They went to war, and are
the hope of the country as they stand
grouped before the world. They will
be knit together now for a common
purpose-the welfare of America.
They will teach the broader meaning
of true citizenship and in the very
nature of things should be factor
for preserving American principles
and ideals. Their slogan is wonderful,
if indeed it is not beautiful mot

but what we can do for our country.

THE UNlMPORTANT KAISER

1t makes little difference whether
the Kaiser is tried and convicted, or
tried and acquitted, he is today the
most unimportant thing in the whole
wide world. Saying that he ought to
be tried and shot is nothing, though
that may be his ultimate end In this
busy world he is of no consequence
whatever, except that he must al
ways be associated with the most
atrocious of all crimes, the recent
war and looked upon as its vain
glorious instigator my armies!" he
used to cry-"they are invincible," Yet
now as an individual person this poor
boob is of no consequence whatever.

bodies Of three unidentified men were
found early today a, short distance

American Wooden Co., and 90 dWel-
ling houses last night. The bodies

The explosion occurred in swamp
behind Il row of tenement houses
occupied by mill operatives and

this propaganda with the explosion.

a house occupied by F1ocardo Rosetti,
on the edge of the swamp.
NO reports of other injuries as a,
result of the explosion had reached
the police today. Damage to build
lngs was largely confined to broken
