Although the management Of the

declared that the paper was not
owned by the sNcnpartisan league,
nor its policies dictated by the bosses
thereof. "A. c. Townley, boss Of the

A Modest Despot,
The CA of the league was appar-

Some Natural Questions

to the mind Of the curiously inclined
the question, why. If the American

brought here to attend the session? ?"
Also, why should Mr.. Townley
plead for funds for the support of a
publication in which neither he nor
the league in general has any partic-
ular Interest? Is it all pure charity
on his part?" and why were tho
books Of the American audited by
7. E.. Morgan. a league accountant,
from st. Paul, who was also present
at the meeting?"

a TREATY

luz pISaiVcilt SN SuSScoLOH 1Ol a
solemn referendum on the peace
treaty arcuses speculation as to the
means by which he would desire such
. ferendum to be held. 1t is true that
congress could, if it wished, provide
q plan whereby the people might vote
directly on the treaty It is equally
true that congress is not in the least
likely to do anything of the sort. And,
il such a method were provided, It
would be difficult, and next to i'm
possible to submit the question in such
a form that the vote could be accept
ed as al accurate index of public
opinion.
The division in the senate is fairly
indicative of the division in the coun-
try at large. And it has been shown that
in the senate there are those who in
sist on the ratification of the treaty
without change; those who would re-
ject it utterly SO long as it contains
any provision whatever for a League
of Nations; those who insist on GER
tain reservations; and those who r
willing to accept the treaty as it
stands, or to include almost any res
ervation in order to have it adopted
tn some form. How can all these be
stated on a ballot in such a form that
those who count the ballots can tell
just what the people want?
The impracticability of such a ref
erendum Is SO great and so manifest
that there is no reason to believe that
the president intended anything Of
the sort Undoubtedly the referen-
DUN which he has in mind is that Of

two-thirds Of the votes in the senate
to ratify. There are sixteen states in
which no senatorial elections will be
held this year. The people Of those
states would be deprived Of an oppor-
tunity to express themselves by a
vote for senator. One third Of the
states would thus be eliminated from
the referendum at the very start. The
president could depend for>the carry

PRESS COMMENTS.
GREETINGS TO FRANCE.

President Wilson made the hearticst
response to the message Of friendly good
wishes sent by Premier Mii.erand OF
France. And today, on the occasion OF
the French rational fcte, it is to be hoped
that there will be no lack Of cordial greet
ings from America finding their way To
the hearts Of the French people. Aneri-
cans sensitive to the situat tion must feel
that they have special obligation to do
everything within their power to remove
the apparent clouding, temporarily, OF the
relations between France and this country.
This seeming is merely ap unfortunate
accident of our politics. The French
ought to be assured of this. and that at
bottom, nothing has really changed; tbft
we in America continue to think OF them
with admiration and with gratitude; and
that we watch with sympathetic pride
their heroic efforts to make good the
ravages of the war, just as, during the
war, we were thrilled by French valor
and constancy In nothing that Senator
Harding has said has he spoken the general
desire more plainly that IN his statement
that, if he becomes President. he will
particularly strive to cultivate the friend
hest relations with France. On this her
day of glory" may every doubt OF Ameri-
can goodwill be far removed from her
though hts.-New York Times, July ID.

Child-Beating Parents.

A tragedy of childhood was enacted
in Cambridge, Pa, the other day that
breaches anew an important problem
of parenthood and of humanity. A boy
of thirteen, severely beaten by his father
for disobedence, so brooded over the dis
grace nd humiliation of punishment
inflicted upon him that he shot himself
in the temple with the fathers revolver
and died in few minutes.
The old theory of parental discipline
was based upon the conception, Spare
the rod and spoil the child. This theory
Of violence as th9 most powerful incentive
to good behavior was not confined to the
relations between parents and children.
Upon the same principle of violence rest
ed the entire structure of correctional
activities for the maintenance of public
order.
Only to childhood, the most defense
less phase of the race, is still applied the
brutal punishment from which the rest
of mankind has been happily exempted.
There are men and women of mature
years living today who remember, with
bitterness. resentment and hot protest
against injustice, beatings which they
received from parents. Upon the hearts
and minds OF such men and women IN
their plastic state parental hands have
wrought scars that last through life
