BRAZEN MENDACITY.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The Republican platform
plank on the League of Nations oUer tohich the oreat
E0ht OF the convention outside Of the actual nominG-
TO" OF the p0rtvS candidate, ods 0dOed. and lohicA
t0dS adopted BY the contention, Is as tollotps:
The foreign policy Of the Administration has been
founded upon principle and directed by no definite
conception OF Nations rights and obligations It
has been humiliating to America and irritating to
other nations, with the result that after period of
unexampled sacrifice our motives are suspected dur
moral influence is impaired and our Government
stands discreded and friendless among the nations
OF the world
We favor liberal and generous foreign policy,
founded upon definite moral and political principles
characterized by clear understanding of and firm
adherence to our own rights and unfailing respect
for the rights OF others. We should AFFORD full and
adequate protection to the lfe liberty and property
and all International rights of every American citizen
and should require proper respect for the American
nag; but we should be equally careful to manifest
just regard for the rights OF other nations scrupu-
lous observance Of our international engagements
when lawfully assumed is essential TO our own honor
and self-respect and The respect of other nations
Subject to due regard for International obliga-
tons, we should leave country free to develop
its civilization along the line most conducive to the
happiness and welfare Of the people, and to cast its
influence on the side Of Justice and right should
occasion require
We condemn President Wilson for asking Congress
to empower him to accept a mandate for Armenia
The acceptance Of such mandate would throw the
United States into the very maestrom OF European
Quarrels. According to the estimate OF the Harbord
Commission. organized by authority of President Will
son, should be called upon TO send $4,000 ,Aner-
boys TO police Armenia expend $276 900 900

estimate is made upon the basis that should have
only rowing bands to fight but in of a serious
I trouble with the Turks. with Russia, force ex-
ceedng 100000 would be necessary.
No more striking illustration be found of Presi-
dent Wilson's disregard Of the lives OF American boys
OF American interests.
We deeply sympathize with the people OF Armenia
and stand ready to help them in all proper ways but
the Republican Party will oppose now and hereafter
the acceptance OF mandate for any country in
Europe or Asia.
The Republican Party stands for agreement among
the nations TO preserve the peace Of the world. We
believe that such international association must
be based upon international justice Rnd must pro-
vide methods which shall maintain the rule OF public
right by development OF law and the decision OF i'm
partial courts, and which shall secure instant and
general International conference whenever peace shall
be threatened BY political action, that the nations

rested the hope Of the future upon

The unfortunate insistence OF the
President upon having his own way
without any change. and without any
regard to the opinion Of the majority
Of the Senate, which shares with him
in the treaty making power, and the
Presidents demand that the treaty
should be ratified without any modifi-
cation, created a situation in which
Senators were required to vote upon
their consciences and their oaths ac-
cording TO their judgment upon the
treaty as 1t was presented, or submit
TO the commands Of a dictator in a
matter where tho authority under the
Constitution was theirs and not his.
The Senators performed their duty
faithfully. We approve their conduct
and honor their courage and fidelity,
and we pledge the coming Republican
Administration TO such agreement
with the other nations of the world
as shall niece the full duty of America
to civilization and humanity in ac-
cordance with American ideals. and

AeEtIHN OtetNteWtC-s
Lygia was a Christian maiden. ne
daughter Of a king. she had been
sent TO Rome as a hostage for the
good behavior OF her fathers peopic.
In Rome she met many fellow
Christians. But she met these Chris
tians in secret. For Nero. the Bm-
peror. had forbidden the followers OF
Christ to set foot In his empire, and
he was striving TO stamp out the new
religion.
BY chance, LyEia was seen by
young Vlnicius, whose uncle, Pc
tronius. was the most powerful nObis
in Nero's court.
Vinioius and Lygin fell, instantly.
In love with each other. Petroniu1
advised his nephew to make love TO
the fair hostage, after the manner OF
the times, and promised his influences
with the Emperor to smooth the
young mans path OF love.
But Lygia was not content with
this sort OF affection. And the only
way in which Vinicius could hope TO
win her was by tho Christian cere-
mony OF marriage.
Petronius sought to laugh his
nephew out OF 80 strange an idea. But
Vinicius could not forget the girl, to
whom no had lost his heart. lie hated
the Christians for coming between
him and his desires.
Then, sore wounded, he was nursed
back to life and health by these sane
Christians whom he was h'lpingt TO
persecute. And he began 70 APP
preciate the w6ndrous beauty and
mystery of their religion.
When Rome was swept by flames,
Nero charged the Christians With
having set fire to the city, and he
redoubled his prosecutions II them.
The wicked Empress, Poppaea, had
tried In vain TO win Vinicius's love.
She learned of his affection for Lygia.
And she planned the innocent girls
death. On the charge that she was a
Christian, the luckless Lygia was
thrown into prison and condemned to
die.
It was decreed that she should be
brought into the arena during the
circus games and there strapped to
the horns of a great bison, to be
Eored and trampled to death.
But before the bison could kill her
gigantic figure leaped into the
arena and dashed to her rescue. This
Riant was Ursus, q barbarian who
had embraced Christianity and Who
was Lygia's devoted follower.
Crsus rushed at the charging bison
and seized the brute by the horns,
bracing his feet In the shifting sand
OF the arena.
Then began a life and death battle
for Lygia's safety. Tit by bit the
giant Ursus bent the monstrouS
bfson's head to one side by sheer
strength. A last mighty heave and
he had broken the beasts neck and
was untying the senseless girl from
the cruel horns.
Escaping by Ursus's aid. I.ygia
hed from Rome with her lover and
the two were married. Settling down
in a far country, beyond the reach OF
Nero's long arm, they lived out their
days together in tranquil happiness.

EAR Play FOR LIBRARY WORKERS.

THE EVENING WORLD has not felt II neces-
sary to comment specifically on the justice and
night of the library workers to share in the general
increase in salaries of public servants provided by
the last Legislature.
Failure to make such provision borders on the
nconceiwbls If there is any question, there is only
one answer The library workers should get their
share.
They are'trained and expert workers Their SER
vice is immeasurable in terms of money. Their
work dovetailS with that of the teachers. Their
plight IS similar to that which faced the teachers.
Underpaynent will result in designations and loss to
the public service.

RUCTIoNS DIE on THE COAST.

DlTY the poor dontrodden Census Director
He had to stand The reproaches leveled at him
by Gothamites when the only question at issue was,
"How much bigger is New York than any other
cityl"
But consider the torrent of abuse he must expect
after announcing that Los Angeles has passed San
Francisco in the population race.
Verify, the Native Sons of the Golden Gate dis
trict will be abroad in the land with blood in their
eyes and their knives whetted.
Naturally, we may expect TO hear explanations.
Either Los Angeles has spread itself over an unfair
amount Of territory or the census was padded to
include all winter visitors from Eastern StateS-or
something.
San Francisco will have an abb, and it will be
stanchy supported with afidavits and aflrmatlons.
From the San Franciscan point of VIEW 1t Is clearly
uhthinkable and therefore impossible, that the rival
city of California could grow faster.
Wherefore, pity the Director Of the Census. He
might better move to Los Angeles.

4 To straight-thinking Americans whose par
