"A LEAGUE VERSUS THE LEAGUE.

We cannot agree with Senator Bolahs attack on

international entente would necessarily embroil Us
in other nations troubles.
The American people want some internationa! ar
rapsemcht that will reduce the danger Of war to a
minimum. No one is SO fatuous as to believe ha;
any plan can be devised that will absolutely prevent
international strife, while the bump of aggressive
ness remains part of the human phrcnology. But
we do believe that obstacles can be thrown in tho
way Of reckless, irresponsible armaking without
in the least interfering with the American policy OF
neutrality as far az European squabbes ara con

The problem is admittedly difficult, But that is
no argument against its being tactlcd-with prud-

sf E@fepo's being asked to patch up any difficulty in
which tho United States might be involved. Europe

such intrigue.
For this reason, the United states muat bc care.

THAT is tho problem that conrronts our statesmen

Let us make genuine effort TO answer this auCs

HOROSCOPE.
} Copyright, 1920. by Mcclure
Newspaper Syndicate.

Wednesday. October 6, 1920.

WEDNESDAY, OctubsF U, Io-V.
During the busiest hours of this
day kindly stars rule, according to
astrology. Venus and Mercury are
in benefic aspect, while Saturn and
Mars are adverse.
Women in public activities
should benefit by this rule which
seems to indicate that newspaper
approval and notice may be easily
gained.
1t is.a favorable sway for love
affairs as well as for political in
terests, but danger lies where love
and politics meet.
This is a lucky day for actors
and actresses and should be espe-
cially fortunate for new ventures
Of any sort, since critics should be
kind under this direction of the
stars.
Theaters and theatrical manag-
ers should profit, the planetary
government being favorable to
whatever is novel or out of the or
binary.
Mars is in a place threatening to
all who adhere to old time meth
DDS, and the Seers read that there
is to be complete change of the
system by which plays and players
are managed.
Again there is sinister forecast
for mines and mining. There may
be a coal crisis even more serious
than any that has been predicted.
They who prophesy concerning
the result of the presidential cleo
ton declare that there will be
young folk in the White House.
Mercury promises distinction to
writer's who are to profit greatly
in the coming year.
Foreign visitors of note, some of
them bearing Important messages,
will be more numerous than ever
before when the new year dawns.
Food will be a matter of much
concern later in the autumn when
there will be public agitation con-
corning n phase of distribution.
A newly elected congressman
will shock his confreres by too
much activity in reform measures,
the seers declare.
This should be a lucky wedding
day, if the ceremony is performed
before shutdown. The evening has
sinister and forbidding sign for
lovers.
There is to be an autumn that
fingers long, if the stars are rightly
read.
Persons whose birthdate it is
may have rather busy year that
brings few anxietes. They should
be cautious about signing contracts
and writing letters.
Children born on this day are
likely to be exceedingly quick and
clever. ! They may have literary
gifts, which they must be taught
to use in a way to bring financial
return.
