OUT OF H4RMONY.

One of the main objections to the
United States entering the League of
Nations raised by the Republican SEN
atOrs who are oppiSing it is that this
country has always stood alone and
that we should enter into no alliance
with foreign nations. In their argu-
ments they often cite the warming Of
George Washington, that the United
States should form 10 entangling allf-
anceS with foreign nations. But times
and conditions have changed since the
day the great Virginian took the oath
Of office as the first President. Three
Of the big men in the history of the
Republican party-nen much larger in
mind than the esteemed senator's
were in favor of just such an alliance
President Grant said: Nothing
would afford HE greater happiness
than to know, as l believe will be the
case, that ut some future day the
nations Of the earth will agree upon
some sort of congress which shall take
cognizance of international questions
Of difficulty. and whose decisions will
he as binding as the decision of our
Supreme Court is binding upon us
President Mckinley said: No ma
The period Of aloofness has passed.
President Roosevelt: 1t would he
a master stroke if those great powers
honestly bent Oh peace would form Il
League of Peace. not only to keep the
peace among themselves. but to pre-
vent by force, if necessary, its being
broken by others"
And then their own New York Re-
publican convention Of 1918 made the
following declaration: I'VE favor the
immediate creation by the United
States and the Allies Of League of
Nations to establish. from time to time
to modify. and to enforce the rules of
internat iOnal law and conduct"
Senators Knox. Lodge, BOrah and
others who are opposing the League of
Nations are clearly out of harmony
with their party as well as with the
nation ut large. All of the objections
which they have found with the League
have been groundless and weak. They
have never advanced any convincing
reason for the United States not ell
tering the League. 1t looks as though
they are just against anything PreSi-
dent Wilson is for-anything to op-
pose and embarrass the President
And. as the realization of the League
of Nations has been his biggest desire
naturally they fight it harder than
anything else.

The race riots in Washington had
barely been quieted down when fight
ing between white people and negroes
broke out in Chicago. Several people
have been killed in the Windy City,
and many wounded. 1t seems that the
negroes have heen the aggressOrS in
most of the riots. and, as is usually the
case. they have made many attacks on
white women and girls Chicago is the
home of the esteemed Chicago Tribune.
The Tribune has made more attacks
on the South Oh account of race trOu-
bles than any other paper or person
The race problem is now being brought
home to Chicago and other Northern
cities. 1t seems that they are not
able to quell such riots with the speed
and efficiency employed in Southern
cities. The unnatural condition exist.
ing between white people and negroes
in the North is largely responsible
The Chicago Tribune. which has SC
often told the South how to handle the
negro question. should be able to ami.
cahly settle such troubles at home.
