REASONS FOR HESITANCY IN
SWALLOWING THE COVENANT

National Republican
When in 1916 the Democratic editors
and orators and Democratic politicians
of every degree were declaring and re-
peating and reiterating that President
Wilson's reelection meant peace for
this country, the President himself
either believed that or he did not. If
he did, he was mistaken. OF course,
those who look upon him as a political
oracle. whose infallibility is to be ac-
cepted without question, are not able
TO realize that he could possibly be mis-
taken about anything, but If he believed
what he permitted to be said in behalf
of his reelection, he was unquestion-
ably mistaken This is the mildest
thing to be said about that phase Of the
question, and it has been demonstrated
by events, not 10y events as he dreamed
about them, but by events as these
same events have actually happened.
II the President believed what he inn
piled himself when he clearly minated,
if indeed he did not explicitly declare.
that the choice between himself and
Judge Hughes meant choice between
peace and war. then again the best to
be said Of il is that he was mistaken.
So, although in the opinion Of those
who delight to kiss the Wilson toe. it is
rank heresy 70 question this mans in
fallibihty, yet there is just bare pos
sibility that he may be mistaken when
he assumes that his or the Gen. SHUTS
plan for universal and everlasting peace
is a thing to be swallowed and accepted
and adopted aul a thing for Americans

BUM INDEPENDENCE.

WHILE the Milwaukee Journal poses
as independent, it digs industriously
for some little pre-war act Of this and
that Republican which smacks of pro-
Germanism, according to it's cross eyed
viewpoint, and enlarges thereon with
apparent glee, that same paper blind
folds itself to the rank un-American
war acts of rank Democrats. We like
the Jounal in more ways than one. 1t
bristles with commercially enterprise in
several directions, but it has swerved
from its claim by endorsing anything
and everything advanced by the Demo
cratic federal administration. There is
reason, of course. The country is
surcharged with others in the same
trap. Genuine independence in jour
nalism would result in both sides getting
Just treatment.
Readers of the Journal can detect
that it favors the league of nations cove
nant as handed us without any reserva-
tions as may be deemed necessary to
make more sure the maintenance of
Americas untrameled rights and free
dom Like many others, we would be
pleased to be informed if the Journal
favors England's having six votes to
our one in settling the worlds affairs

to be committed to, and committed
irrevocably, over night.
On the other hand if the President
did not believe the promises that were
made in his behalf in 1915, when merely
American peace, and not universal
peace, was under consideration if he
was half as keen and half as wise as
/ thousands among his fellowmen who
made no pretentions to craftsmanship !;
if he foresaw, as millions Of obscurities
did foresee, that war was inevitable,
notwithstanding the promises that were
made in the Wilson behalf, then the fact
that he made such promises himself, or
that he originated, inspired, encouraged
or even permitted such promises to be
made in his behalf, presents still a
stronger reason for hesitating to swal.
low without thinking what he so readily
and so hastily promises concerning the
same subject with the entire world in
mind. In either case it has been dem
onstrated by events as these events
have actually happened that he is not a
trustworthy authority on that particular
subject.
Take it either way why should any
one be everlastingly damned for placing
an interrogation point after every
promise or prediction or Interpretation
on a subject coming from such source
So then, when there is here and there
a moments hesitancy; or when here
and there mild protest against this
haste that may possibly be undue
when here and there Lodge or a Knox
or some other level-headed, patriotic
statesman suggests that such a plan
should be thoroughly considered by the
E American people before they permit
} themselves to be irrevokably committed
; to it-when such things happen it is
barely possible that the government at
Washington may still live if the pro-
testing pen is not paralyzed or if the
protesting tongue is not torn out by the
, roots. 1t it is barely possible that il
will be safe not to cruelty the men who
decline to be in hurry about accept
ing every outgiving of President Wilson
as the law and the gospel

II we hadn't licked Germany, it's as
sure as Gospel that Germany would now
be debating compliance with peace
terms to England. France and Italy.
Germany had 'em licked to a FRAGILE as
the small boy would say it. and what do
you suppose the Monroe Doctrine would
be worth today if Germany had been
victor. We would have gotten along
with Germany for a few years until she
had caught her breath and made her
victory over England and France Sc
cure. and then she would have at
tempted to tell US what our pet doctrine
is worth. In summing up the Peace
Treaty provisions and the League Cove
nant, we do well to reckon what it
might have been if we hadn't stopped
the policy Of watchful waiting and ever
lasting note writing and used the power
of our latent military strength. Brod-

1t is the belief OF the gentlemen, un-
der whose direction the destinies of
these institutions fall, that dancing
IL more universally practiced, would
prove beneficial to morals as well as
to health.
And in keeping with this new dance
period. a famous moving picture COM
pany is to release" shortly the his
tory of the dance dating from the
period OF Eve, The series comes up
to the ultra modern jazz period, tits
said. Madame Lubovska. as a pre-
miere American dancer, is to be the
star.
The series Is to be highly illustra-
tive and will form the notable con-
-tribution to the dance that has ever
been conceived. The creations OF
Lubovska are among the most original
and effective OF the series, which will
include more than sixty illustrations.
Incidentally, the music of the dance

points in this picture, IL chronology
