The Senator's Moral Decede1ce
mer GOV. samuel W. Mccall Of

fFormer Gov. Samuel w. Mccall OF
Massachusetts, in the Atlantic,)
This moral decadence has shown
itself in the recent notable depate
upon the treaty. There are some
whoi indulge in the dream that our
time may inaugurate new era and
may realize the aspirtions OF the
race for golden age. They hope
that the peoples of the world may
have the wisdom, after war de-
structive and wicked beyond all
parallel, to take steps to safeguard
the peace of the future and to Tree
mankind from servitude to a mon
ster that has been it's most deadly
and implacable foe. 1t has destroy
ed millions of the choicest youth;
it has devoured the substance OF
nations, and it bids fair, If not
checked, to obliterate civilization
itself. The hope of making perma-
nent peace a foremost object OF the
war was held out to the men who
were sent to the front and in that
faith gave their lives.
If the dream should happily be
made to come true, those who Tor
low usb v few centuries, in look
ing back upon the history of the
time, may well regard with wonder
the contribution to this result made
bv the senate of ,gerat people.
They would look there for the cul-
mination of symphony unsur-
passed since eBthlehem, and at
least for a moral enthusiasm COM
mensurate with so noble a cause.
They would indeed read speeches.
some of real eloquence and II
analytical pawer ,and they would
witness much learning upon de-
tails. But they would see a cause
of colossal importance brought
down to the level of the hustings,
as if it were the prime purpose not
10 confer a memorable boon upon
mankind but to carry the next cleo
ton. They would see it too mucn
;disfig1red by hate and marred py
the ravens croaking note, and they
would be able to catch too little OF
the majestic tones of the spiritual
voices of the age. Whatever may
have been the merit of the verbal
criticism of the treaty or OF the
clauses that were suggested to I'M
prove it, the moral tone of the de-
hate as whole fell far below the
sublime level of the theme.

at Kiddie Katydid through the
darkness and said:
"You almost fooled me. But l

katy did. Katy did; she did,
she did"
"You needn't say that!' Mr..
Nighthawk exlaimed. Katy has
nothing to do with my case. She
hasn't even mentioned Solomon
Owls name.
"You don't understand" Kiddie
told him. I'm speaking of an
entirely different matter"
And then Mr.. Nighthawk had
another idea. He chased the
frown away from his face and
smiled very pleasantly.
I'm sorry that you don't feel
like jumping for me-" he observed.
"But I'd be just as glad to see you
fly! I remember being told that
you fly almost as well as you jump.
"Oh, l can't begin to fly as well
as you can" Kiddie Katydid told
Mr.. Nighthawk. II only wish ]
knew how to coast down out of the.
sky the way you do, without being
dashed upon the ground. ... How
do you manage to stop so sudden
|ly?"
Pooh! That's nothing" Mr..
Nighthawk said. "It's easy, once
you know how"
In spite of his way of belittling
his flying feats, Mr.. Nighthawk
was secretly very proud Of his skill
at sky-coasting. And when Kiddie
Katydid asked him if he wouldn't
kindly give an exhibition of the
art of fancy, Mr.. Nighthawk coud
not help feeling pleased.
He wanted to display his skill.
But there was just one thing that
troubled him. He was afraid that
if he climbed up into the sky, be-
fore he dropped down gain Kiddie
Katydid would have vanished. And
that didn't suit Mr.. Nighhawk's s,
plans.
s"Will you promise to stay right
where you are until 7 come back 2"
he asked.
Now, Kiddie Katydid had inten-
ded to hide himself as soon as Mr..
Nighthawk should leave him. But
there was nothing he could do now
except to agree to Mr.. Nighthawk's
proposal.
"Tl PROMISE said Kiddie, 'if
you'll promise me that you'll sure
ly return. otherwise might have
to stay here for month, perhaps
waiting for you"
"Oh! I'll come back in a minute
or two,' Mr.. Nighthawk laughed,
as he looked hungrily at Kiddie.
..Don't you worry about my not
coming back to talk with you!"
| Then he began climbing upwards
into the sky. And he had gone
about as high as he wished to,
when all at once a rolling Whoo-
whoo-whoo, whoo-whoo, to-whoo-
ah startled him. 1t was Solomon
