figure that playing against a
field of stars they will do well
il they last more than a
round and that isn't worth

And then some Of tho club mem.

huge success OF The Star Woodland

without charging any entry fees and

When the wires brought the news
on Tuesday night not few pulses
gave wallop Of hope. Perhaps, it
was thought, the seismic disturb
sncc would have influence IN edu-
eating those who have heretofore
successfully prevented America S en-
Try into any kind of league Of peace.
But SO tar there Is no evidence to
sustain the fond Illusion Like the
Bourbors, the treaty dcfeaters ap~
parently have learned nothing and
forgotten nothing. Judging from the
tone Of the local Wilsonian press
and Judging also from what is not
SAID by the White House and Mr..
Cox, illumination is still sadly in
complete. Our neighbors The World,
The Times and The Evening Posi-
are again on the job Of blocking
action.
When the ratification Of the
treaty, vita reservations which are
now recognized as reasonable, was
easily attainabe what did our
neighbors do Did they tell the
President that it was timc to modify
ms stubborrness- -,hat if he did not
accept the ratification offered he,
and he alone, would be responsible
for failure 20 enter the league? Not
at all Instead they hammered and
N9isrepresented Senator Ledge and
those who stood with him. They en-.
couragcd the President to hold out
against compromise.
1t is perhaps not gong toe far to
say that except for their attitude
it is probable the President would
have yielded. IN March the treaty
would havs gone through if the hose
Of criticism had been pointed in the

they are rathcr mellow ana cen

Seeing Back

One of the many aims announced
by the Wilson Administration was
ITO make the world safe for ,lemoc-
racy." TIE spirit Of democracy is
self-rule. Democracy believes in the
intelligence and capacity of the
majority..
We had test Of that intelligence
and capacity last Tuesday. But there
are still some sour losers who want
to make out that it was only test
Of the unintelligence and incapacity
Of the voters. Says our glt only
skoptical n,lghbor The World: "By
the irony OF fate it 1.-THE Democratic
party] has been beaten when Il was
right' Then the people Of the
thirty-scven states who hello the
contrary opinion and expressed il
with such extraordinary unity Of
feeling were cropping around in the
shadows of error.
There can be no fixed standard Of
right and wrong in matters of polit-
lcal policy, except under an abso-
iGtism. Might then makes rirht
But If an adininist, ation's record is

larly as ever before, Senator Har-
ding and the Senate are fold in r
menacing manner exactly what they
must do.
This is not the way to help bring
about Americas entry into any sort
of league. 1t pours kerosene on the
fires of the treaty vendetta It
ignores the fact that the only prac-
tical way to proceed is to allow SER
ator Harding some liberty of jnitia-
tive. For those who fooled tue
treaty and who less than week
ago were yelling that Senator Har-
ding had surrendered to Borah and

anti-union. In the Alpine provinces
the so-cal!ed "Heimwehr," or unoiti-
cial militia, is the armed organiza-
ton Of the royalists, while in lower
Austria the Reichswehr, the militia
authorized by the Treaty Of st. Ger
main, is republican and largely So
cial Democratic.
In Bavaria the royalists, profting
from the lesson Of Kapp's failure.
have abandoned "Putsch" tactics and
plan to employ constitutional meth
ods. The latest idea is to elect by pleb-
iscite Crown Primes Rupprecht as
President Of the Bavarian state. But
as such post is not provided by the
federal constitution, the step would
aim a blow against the constitution
itself and provoke trial Of strength
between monarchists and republi-
cans. And SO the little game of mon
archist-nlilitarist restoration goes
on, working its underground way tc
the next European explosion.
