SENSING PUBLIC OPINION.

Senator Harding evidently public opinion

he has not failed to realize that public sentiment
in America demands league of nations. If the
term association of nations" gets us away from the
super government idea one will object to that

The fact remains that before leaving for his
vacation trip Senator Harding began conversations
with prominent republicans looking towards def

league will be abandoned and that we will go
into the present league with notifications mutually

Amendments to the present plan, radically changing
its import, will. perhaps be the wiser route.
1t may be found that the embarrassments due
to statements made in political campaign and
the necessity of providing "soft place to light
for Senator's Borah, johnson and FAN may make a

is a question Of politics and quite aside from the
matter of whether or not we will play part in
an attempt to maintain peace in the world.
The Journal is quite opposed to some features
OF the League OF Nations as now coHstiluteu' We
do not feel that we should in any wise morally
obligate ourselves to use force to maintain ma
tional boundaries hastily and arbitrarily fixed
in 1919 in the confusion of post adjustment.
With the campaign past, there will probably be lit
tie disagreement upon this point, Our statesmen
will probably argue but mildly upon the proposition
that force should be used to compel obstreperous
nations to submit their quarres to the league or
association and then wait reasonable time be-
fore going to The latter is quite another
thing than to guarantee present boundaries.
America will also probably have slight trouble
now in agreeing that the executive of the
league shall have less power and the judicial arm,
more power. That is to say, that the fate of ma

respect for it. A womanly woman
has her duties to look after and
no one can serve two masters.
When a woman looks after her

husbands ability to take care OF

to the best of his ability, is max

Would a woman want a man to

THE RULE OF THE ROAD.
Copyright. 1920. by Edgar A. Guest.

The rule of the road is keep to the right, don't
drive at q reckless rate
You may go you please when the, course is
clear and the stretch is smooth and straight,
But watch your pace where the roadway bends
and travel the curves with care,
And be ready to meet the test should danger
stop you there.
There are laws to govern the speed of men and
the manner they shall go,
And what's right and wrong as we drive along
! we are all supposed to know;
But beyond the law and the statute books and
the power OF the courts to touch,
Are numberess rules which might observe
which help so very much.
The law will not stife our selfishness-we must
do that for ourselves,
And there is no word in all of the books on all
of the musty shelves
Which say that we must be kindly folk or
courteous or polite;
We drive road hogs If choose and
legally be right.
The rule of the road is keep to the right. but
the rule Of gentleman
Is to give to the neighbor who would pass
much of the road as he can;
And there'd be less need for the laws in books
and a happier world 'twoud be
If we'd all obey the roads of life the rules of
