BRYAN ON THE LEAGUE.

why should we add to our re-
sponsibilities by undertaking to po-
lice Europe? Have we not quite
enough to do TO stand sponsor for the
independence of our sister republics?
Our nation is the dominant political
influence in the western hemisphere;
this is a fact which does not need to
be asserted. But this nation does not
covet its neighbors' lands or its neigh
bors' prosperity or anything else that
is it's neighbors. The Latin American
republics are not only governing,
but they recognize the foundation
principles of republican institutions
and they would assist the United
States in repelling transatlantic
foe. If we adhere to the
ideals of the past and to the traditions
of our nation, we will seek to make
the world better through the influence
of high example. If we adhere to this
policy we LEAD the world and we
should be satisfied with our primacy.
If, on the other hand, we are to revo-
lutionize our methods, we must be
content to follow at the rear end of
the European procession.
1--WE cannot take the lead if we join
the European group, for leadership in
that group requires the acceptance of
the doctrine of conquest. We could
at best be poor. second if we SO
changed our national policy as to be-
come a part of a European police
force. We would not be one of the
finest on parade day-we would limp
along alphabetically, with downcast
eyes and blushing cheeks.
mo, the advocates of the European
police force plan cannot silence OPP
they cannot dismiss their opponents
with such epithets as 'pacifist' and
'non-resistant- must come out
in the open and admit: First, that they
are willing to repudiate the teachings
of Washington second, that they are
ready to abandon the Doctrine oil
Monroe; third, that they favor such
an amendment to the Constitution as
will transfer the power to declare wal
from Congress to the nations across
the sea, and, fourth, that they are tir-
ed of being good and hunger for the
excitement of the camp and the man
hunt
LET the people understand the real
purpose of the League to Enforce
Peace and not even the prestige oil
the deluded scholars who have cast
in their lot with it can save it from
the excavations of an indignant pub.

We agree with Bryan.

KISSING MOTHER.

A father, talking to his careless
daughter, said:
II want to speak to you of your
mother. 1t may be that you have no
ticed a careworn look upon her face
lately. OF course it has not been
brought there by any act of yours,
still it is your duty to chase it away
want you to get up tomorrow morn
ing and get breakfast; and when your
mother comes, and begins to express
her surprise, go right up to her and
kiss her on the mouth. You can't
imagine how it will brighten her dear
face.
Besides, you owe her kiss or
two. Away back when you were
little girl, she kissed you when no
one else was tempted by your fever
tainted breath and swollen face. You
were not as attractive then as you
are now. And through those years
of childish sunshine and shadows,
she was always ready to cure, by the
magic of a mothers kiss, the little,
dirty, chubby hands whenever they
were injured in those first skirmishes
with the rough old world.
And then the midnight kiss with
which she routed so many bad dreams,
as she leaned above your restless pill
low, have all been on interest these
long, long years.
"Of course, she is not so pretty and
kissable as you are; but if you had
done your share of work during the
last ten years, the contrast would not
be so marked.
Her face has more wrinkles than
yours, and yet If you were sick, that
face would appear far more beauti-
full than an angels as it lowered over
you watching every opportunity to
minister to your comfort, and every
one of those wrinkles would seem to
be bright wavelets of sunshine chas-
ing each other over the dear face.
"She will leave you one of these
days. These burdens, if not lifted
from her shoulders, will break her
down. These rough, hard hands that
have done so many necessary things
for you, will be crossed upon her
lifeless breast.
"Those neglected lips that gave
you your first baby kiss, will be for
ever closed and those sad, tired eyes
will have opened in eternity, and then
you will appreciate your mother but
it will be too late"

OUR COUNTRY.

Blue are the skies and bright,
Fair are her fields today.
Hearts here with joys are light,
Happy our children play.
Fathers and mothers smile
After their tasks are done;
Here CLEANS, for mile and mile,
Grain in the golden sun.
Here gentle stars above
Look down on peaceful scenes;
Here is a land of love,
This is what freedom means.
Streams here are pure and clean,
Orchards now come to fruit,
Land where no work is seen
Born of the Drawn of brute.
FireSides with love agloW,
Homes that with laughter ring;
These are the joys we know,
These are the charms we sing.
Land of mems honest toll,
Land where no shell careens
Staining with blood the soil,
This is what freedom means.
Land of mans love for man,
Home of the brave and true,
Land where the humblest can,
His way his goal pursue;
Land where to God we pray
Not for the strength to fight,
But to be shown the way
Ever to keep the right.
This we are boasting of,
These are the joys we know,
This is the land we love,
Our task to keep it so.

The woman voter wants &c be ed

kept abreast of events even though
they had no vote, and are as well in
formed as men, not only about can
didates and issues, but about the
technique of politics and voting.
But many more have suddenly wa
ked up to the fact that thew don't
know whether they are expected to
write the name of their candidate for
president on slip of paper, or hold
up their hands to be counted; and
aren't sure whe Iher the League of

disputes between nations without
wars, or whether it is a new way of
