Debating the League.

The country is 10 be treated to a
joint debate on the subject of a league
of nations. Good! There ought to be
d number of such debates held before
Congress meets. The subject is worthy
of such treatment, and competent de-
baters in abundance are available.
Senator Lodge and President Lowell
of Harvard University will lead off.
This insures a temperate and thor
oughly intellectual performance. They
are among the pick of our intellectual
life. Mr.. Lodge has reached the ma
jority leadership in the Senate by a
display of aH-arouud ability worthy of
the best traditions of that body. DIR.
Lowell has reached the head of great
Institution of learning by display of
the gifts of both an administrator and
an educator. Very great respect is felt
tor both men wherever they are known.
Both Senator Lodge and DR.. Lowell
are in favor of world peace, and per-
manent peace, but differ as to the best
means for establishing and maintain
ing it. Both have already in public
addresses stated their views. At this
coming meeting, therefore, we shall
hear those views restated, but with a
flip attending controversy where the
eontroversialists stand face to face.
Much feeling has been aroused, and
is showing itself throughout the eoun-
try. 1t is apparent everywhere. And
it is certain to grow as time passes.
By the time Congress meets, and the
terms of what the Senate is to discuss
are known, interest, and maybe excite
ment, viii have reached a high pitch
about this question.
This is not to be deplored. On the
contrary, it should be welcomed. 1t
should work for good. No harm has
ever resulted from making the eagle
scream" The American people like
that sort of thing. 1t is associated
with some Of the most brilliant and
stirring chapters in the country's his.
tory. No campaigns have equaded those
where the national aims and impulses
have been accentuated, and the people
asked TO consider and pass again upon
the work Of the fathers and the des-
tiny of America.

The election of Mr.. Wilson of Penn
sylvania to Congress as democrat is,
as matter of course, interpreted as Il
straw showing popular favor for Presi
dent Wilson's league of nations. The
contention that the fight was made
strictly on local issues is the customary
reply when an effort is made to give
national significance to the result of an
incidental contest. The game of poll
ties is bigger than ever before, but it
is played on much the same lines.

tive work of this kind would keep the
city in fair shape. The District should
be able to eke out its funds sufficiently
to conduct a collection of the refuse.
Whatever is done in the matter of
sweeping the streets, the people should
be especially careful just now about
scattering refuse. At the close of last
week the city was Uttered from end to
end with paper. The waste boxes at
the corners should be used for all sorts
of trash, with more care than ever.
Papers that are dropped in the street,
if there is no receptacle close at hand,
should be wadded up SO they will not
blow. A little thoughtfulness on this
point will keep the city in good con-
dition considering the lack of daily
service by the cleaners. But if no
thought is given to the matter Wash
ington will in few days be unbear-
ably dirty.

A Spring Song


My old friend Grimes, he said to me,
"Pm fond of music, yessiree.
I'll drop whatever have on hand
To stop and listen to good brass band.
An orchestra brings me delight;
Especially one conducted right.
But the best of tunes seems to come
along
When the frogs out yonder start
springtime song"
Said I, "Friend Grimes, / am surprised.
Your taste is being demoralized.
You surely would never compare that
din
To grand piano or violin!"
Said he to me, II don't pretend
My personal taste to comprehend
But / say I'm happy, and I say it
strong,
When the frogs out yonder sing
springtime song
"They seem to sing of the SHOWS that
fade,
And the grass so green and the Ieafy
shade.
They don't need language to help 'em
out
Explaining what they are singing
about.
For Art they never assume to strive;,
They sing cause they're glad we're all
alive.
And there's mighty little seems going
wrong,
When the frogs out yondcr sing a
epriugtime son2s

Note and Poem Failed

Undue and unjust jealousy is the re-
ply of George M. Ehrgott, vice presi-
dent of the Broadedge Realty Company
TO the separation suit of Mrs. Mildred
Ball Ehrgott, in which she charges her
husband was too attentive to her sister
Mrs: Edith E. Moss, of 142 West Ninety
sixth Street. Mrs. Lavinia C. Ehrgott
mother of Mr.. Ehrgott, has added her
afndavit to the defence of her son, in
which she says her daughter-n n-law' S
temper had much to do with the trouble
in the family. Justice Whitaker yes
terday awarded Mrs. Ehrgott S25 q
week alimony pending trial and gave
her the custody of the two children.
Mr.: Ehrgott told the court he tried to
conciliate his wife and induce her to
return and live with him. Even a fer
vld letter and a little verse entitled
Just You," which he sent her on Mrs,
Ehrgott's birthday, failed of their pur-
pose.
Mrs. Ehrgott said whenever her hus-
band gave her a present he gave a
duplicate of it to Mrs. Moss, her sister.
She said Mr.. Ehrgott had urged her to
sue him for divorce, giving her writ
ten memorandum on which he said she
might base such action. Mr.. Ehrgott
denied giving his sister-in-law any
presents, and explained he was pleas

CHICAGO. June 20-The commercial
telegraphers' strike, according to a
statement from strike headquarters
here to-day, will continue as long as
"thc Wilson Administration stands on
record as denying US the right which
President Wilson says all workers are
entitled to.''
The statement charged the telegraph
companies attempted to take advantage
of "our awaiting action by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, by circulating
false reports about desertions from our
ranks and that the strike would soon
be over"
after first declaring no one had
struck" the statement continues, "now
they are offering fancy inducements for
strikers to return. AS a matter of
fact, the gains have been all on our
side"
The statement said the number of
telephone workers on strike was in
creasing steadily and would SO con-
tinue.
Concerning statements of telegraph
that service is normal the
union men displayed a copy of test
message which they said was filed in
Oklahoma on June II. The original
has not yet reached Chicago, "although
the sender paid 81 cents toll OF the
Western Union and holds a receipt
therefor"
A committee from the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor was expected to go to
Washington to-day in a further at
tempt to obtain from the Postmaster
General the workers demands for the
right to bargain collectively.
Commercial companies said condi-
tions here were unchanged and that
business was normal.
