made up Of both Republicans and Demo
Gratis. voted against Article y. Republican
and Democratic voters in large sections of
the country are opposed to 1t. Whether
their fears are groundlcss or not is beside
the question. A constructive statesman who
wishes to accomplish results must adjust
his course to the prevailing sentiment of the
nation.
Mr.. Harding has adjusted himself to that
sentiment even IL he has not participated in
creating It. The Republican leaders who
signed the statement published yesterday
agree with Mr. Harding. Some of them
anticipated him in stating their objections
to the covenant If the President had been
willing to admit the force Of these objections
it would have been ratified months ago in
modified form. Because he refused to bend
his will to the wishes Of the majority of his
countrymen, he and his party have been con
demned for their failure to accomplish re-
suits, and the country is getting ready to
put the government in other hands.

THE BOOZE TRAIL

TONERNOR SPROlL said yesterday that
~ wholesale bootlCCgrrs have tried hard to
corrupt the state police. Disclosures made
in Chicago show that the whisky rings have
actually been boring into Congress and into
the courts. 1t is a notorious fact that the
organization established by tho national gov
ernment to enforce II national law has been
attacked and greatly weakened by tho dry
rot of bribery. Tins was possible largely be-
cause the prohibition field agents are under
paid and constantly confronted with oppor-
tunites to make large sums of money by
merely closing their eyes.
Not long ago il was suggested in these
columns that the inside story Of the Illicit
whisky traffic would aStound and cnragp tho
country II it ever was told II is being told
now. And oven while the prohibition Gu

Revelations such as are being made every

turn general opinion violently against the
groups which have houted governmental au-
thority and sought To make shameful use Of

sentativcS in Congress. They are not only

"OPEN" TREATIES

Is safe to assume that the popularity
of certain volume published Yesterday in
London Will not be commensurate with its
Importance.
The work, issued in compliance of Article
NNlll OF the league covenant. contains ten
international agreements made since the
treaty of Versailles went into force on
January 10, 1919. An additional volume
viii bring the number Of registered pacts up
to twcnty-siX. Included in the list is the
first draft of the document binding Rumania
Czecho- -Slovakia and Jugo- Slavia, the So
called Little Entente, in an alliance. and
the complete text of the renewed Anglo
japanese agreement.
The registration of these treaties by tbc
league implies that they are in conformity
with principles proclaimed by this organiza
tion of thirty nine nations. The disclosure
is proof that the pledge of open diplomacy
was not altogether Il figure of speech.
Theoretically, this novelty in intrrna
tional procedure is admirable. Had publi
cation been suppressed league critics would
have been purple with indignation.

IN CHINA

THE sun is only the sun here,
i But every day when he goes to China
He is a celestial dragon, breathing gold and
scarlet,
And the moon here is only moon,
But over the pagodas she is white phoenix,
And there the stars are little silver unicorns
with crystal crowns.
The irises are not like our iriscs, nor the
chrysapthemums like our chrySan-
thcmums,
For at dusk they hide bcwitching mouths be-
hind little fans
And the gardens are filled with the sound of
their shoes
The willow trees there cover white faces with
their long sleeves
And the fox bride is pledged in cups Of green
jade
And we, we are only lovers here,
But who knows what we might be in
