the means of fulfilling that promise.
The league of nations has got to

striking. Possibly nothing short OF
the four years of blood could have
placed this great measure on human
ity's calendar. 1t was clearly i'm
practicable so long as .autocracy

lions bowed in servitude before the
divine right OF cruel and miserably
common clay. The world is now rid
of that ancient curse and with its
passing shall pass the periodical sac

enous Moloch. The dia-
critical solicitudc Of senator's for our

his statement at San Francisco that

will have unusual weight. Because
OF Mr. Taft's fine sense of fairness
and because of his distinguished and
disinterested public service through
OUT the war-a public service which
raised the eX-president to 4 higher
place in public esteem than he had
occupied as president public serv-
ice incomparably greater than that
rendered by any member OF the led
eral senate - because OF all this the
charge which Mr. TAFT has made
puts the burden OF proof on the ac-
cused.
Another sentiment OF Mr. Tait's

Since it is not a political question, It
may with equal candor be declared
that President Wilson went to Eu-
rope bearing a promise Of 4 league
OF nations largely because OF the
work done by Former President
TAFT. Long before we entered the
war Mr.. TAFT perceived that the time
had come in the history OF mankind

BOSTON BAKED BEANS

Q COMETIMES telegraph editors don't see the real
~ feature ina news story. For instance, there was
yesterdays story about President Wilson arriv-
ing in Boston after two months in Europe, where
he had been dined and-no, not wned not for pub
lication anyhow-and receiving real Bostonese re-
ception, with a luncheon and all that You may have
observed that the telegraph editor made much Of
the presidents speech and OF the coming in OF the
ship and of the parade and the general welcome
That OF course all right in its way; but even eX
perenced telegraph editors fall down at times as we
have hinted above
We dislike to criticize the telegraph editor OF this
paper, who is personal friend OF ours and reason
ably good citizen, we understand from hearsay,
but we must be permitted to insnuatc that he missed
4 golden chance yesterday when he omitted IRON
the Associated Press report Of the Boston event this
paragraph which we find in another paper this morn
ing:
The president and Mrs. Wilson had luncheon
with a few of the members of their immediate party.
ONE OF THE COURSES INCLUDED BOSTON
BAKED BEANS"
The capital letters are ours. We have Arthur
Brisbaned that sentence 50 to express it, because It
seems to us Ia be the main feature OF the whole story
Having looked carefully through The Ardmoreite $
account Of the presidents day in Boston ior the sup
posedy inevitable baked beans, without discovering
q single bean, we elt that Boston had fallen down
sadly on its assignment But the discovery OF that
little paragraph, evidently dclced from the story by
our telegraph editor because OF some innate or ac-
Quircd prejudice upon his part against Boston baked
beans makes us feel conscience-bound to beg the
pardon ot Boston OF the Bostonese and OF the Bos-
ton baked bean.
