In Maine, practically all the
women appear to have voted
against the War League OF Ma
tons. In New England, at least
the women know the real meaning
Of the League Of Nations.
They know that it means war
for the United States under the
dictation of Europe. Before cleo
tion day ALL the women In the
country will know that the League
of Nations is a war league. Inc
business of the Republicans Is 10
make them know it,. Where the
Republicans lack energy, the
Hearst newspapers, that have
made the real fight against the
League, will distribute the neces-
sary information.
There is absolutely no danger in
the League, once the voting women
of the country know what 1t
means.
Senator Harding puts the i'm
portant fact plainly. He says the
Maine election proves that the
people intend to keep control OF
United States affairs here in the
United States.
Toward the end Of an active life
Samuel Untermyer wishes 70 work
for the public, perhaps tired OF
serving those that exploit the pub
lie. He offers, without charge, to
prosecute rascals that have pre-
vented home building by profiteer-
ing in building materials.
Immediately the price Of bricks
drops six dollars a thousand,
tribute to Untermyer's reputation.
Not all the great lawyers, how
ever, have reached the point where
they can afford to work for the
public. Soon some great lawyer
may find some judge to say that
bricks really have nothing to do
with building, as Judge Hughes
proved to the satisfaction of other
judges that wooden cloth has moth
ing to do with wearing apparel.
When that happens the building
material trust will cheer up and
prices will go up.
If things get much worse in
Italy, look for real trouble. They
may not get worse, for Italy has
able statesmen and Italian work.
ers have been trained by radical
teachers to think intelligently for
themselves.
But if the worst comes to the
worst, and Italy goes Bolshevik,
Italy would make wild" Russia
seem like a young ladies institute.
AS a wild cat is to a sheep, so is
an excited Italian compared with
a dreamy Slav. Study as an ex-
ample d'Annunzio, who, entirely
by force of his own excitemept,
takes Fiume from Jugo-Slavia,
France and Italy, and holds on In
spite of all three.
The Department of Justice says
it cannot keep a man out Of Amer
lea on account of religious belief.
To that may be added: at can't
keep a man out of America be-
cause he lacks religious belief"
The news may surprise some not
familiar with the United States
Constitution.
If religious belief had been
necessary to residence in this coun-
try, neither Thomas jefferson nor
Benjamin Franklin would have
been allowed to return after being
sent abroad.
However, this country is not
quite wide open. II a Russian
gentleman arrived, saying in poor
English, 60 to now, we rich, weep
and howl" ETC., he would be sent
back quickly, although he would
only be repeating the exact words
of st. James, the cousin Of Christ.
(See James, Chapter ", verse -.
And if the founder Of Christianity
should arrive under another name,
threatening to do to stock gam
blers here what He did to the
money changers Of the Temple,
He also would be turned back.
George Kessler, champion wine
agent, is dead. aged fifty-six. He
spent the first part of his life
getting money by selling cham
payne, the second part helping
blind soldiers. "Fffty-fifty. the
atrical people would call it. No
man should die so young. The
fifties are the old age Of youth, or
should be, just as the seventies
should be the youth of old age.
But, he who lives by the sword,
shall perish by the sword. And
he who lives by champagne,
Obliged to drink it constantly and
pretend that he likes it, Is apt to
perish by it.
The wise Frenchmen that make
the champagne and sell it to Rus
slams, Englishmen and Americans,
do not drink II. They drink their
, light still wines, knowing that
champagne is to be sold, not
