Straws show which way the wind is
blowing. Likewise do the maneuvers
of politicians frequently indicate the
drift of public opinion. The publica-
ton yesterday of a list of erstwhile
friends of the league of nations agree
ing to support Senator Harding is a
case in point. That Des Moines
speech had the effect of setting the
country by its ears, so to speak. De-
fections from the party ranks began
to be reported all over the country. 1t
was clear that something had to be

A hurried convass was made to as
certain how many of those who had
committed themselves IN support of
the league We're willing to stultify
themselves for the sake of party. A
few were found who agreed to repu-
date their own professions. but only
a few, in order to make the public
statement seem impressive, the list is
padded by including numerous names
of those in no way prominent as
league advocates, but mere ring neck
republican partisans. The scheme is
quite transparent, indeed.
We do not believe this manifesto
ton of acute partisanship will check
the tide started by Herbert Parsons
and others in favor of honesty in pol
tiles. There are still. we believe, a
great many people who viii refuse to
talk one way and vote different
way. There are millions who are
willing for their country to cooperate
with other countries In abating tho
destruction of war. They know that
this cooperation cannot be had under

A VOTE Fob PEACE.

The Woman's Bureau of the Demo-
cratic National Committee has issued
bulletin which gives sever. points to
be considered in studying the League
of Nations covenant. The ducment is
1t says:
l. The League of Nations is a union
of the countries of the world bound
together to protect one another. To-
day 81 nations belong-all the prin-
cipal ones EXCEPT MEXICO, THE
UNITED STATES AND BOLSHEVIST
RUSSIA. Former enemy powers are
soon to be admitted.
2. The League aims to settle dis
putes between nations by LAW in
stead of by WAR; gradually to reduce
armies and navies by general agree
ment; to make treaties public so that
citizens may know that their gov
ernments are doing; and to better la
Dor conditions and the welfare OF
| women and children everywhere.
g. The League carries out les pur =
pose through three agencies; Cd an
| Assembly of three delegates from each
member nation, where questions are
discussed and suggestions offered; go
a Council of nine representatives (of
whom the United States is always to
have one), which inquiries into the
cause of disputes, gives advice for
their peaceful settlement, and is the
real governing body to the League; l3)
Court of Permanent Justice in which
legal tangles between nations are
Strengthened out. On all vital points
the vote in both the Assembly and
Council must be unanimous.
4. The League pledges It's members
to make use of some one of these agen-
cies instead of going to war whenever
disputes arise between them or be-
tween one nation and a nation out
side of the League Six-~months are
given for investigation and report.
Not until. three months after that (time
for cooling Off may a nation go to
war and not then if one of the nations
accepts the recommendations made.
5. The League also pledges its
members to respect one another's
boundaries and to protect them from
external attack. This clause, Article
X denounced by Republicans is only
form of mutual self-defense to take
the place of the huge national armies
and navies which the League seeks to
limit. Article x does not apply to do
nestle troubles, such as the effort Of
subject peoples to gain self govern
ment.
s. The League binds its members to
punish any nation which goes. to war
in spite of the Leagues rules by en-
tirely cutting off the outlaw from all
trade and intercourse. The League
Council may (by unanimous vote)
advise" armed force. but each govern
ment in its own way must declare its
willingness to supply soldiers and mu-
nitions. In other words no American
boy can be sent abroad to wage war
for the League except by declaration
of war by Congress as our Constitution
provides. And first. within the League
itself, the United States by its own
vote may veto any proposal of war
which it does not approve

Not Going to Do Anything.


Referring to the recent discussion as
in Florida politics, a correspondent
asks, What are you going to do with
the Negro?'
Of course, the answer is, we are not
going to do anything with the negro.
Simply because the consensus OF
white opinion in this state is that II
would be dangerous to permit the ne
gro to dominate politics in Florida. is
no reason to suppose that the party
which opposes negro domination is go
Ing to do anything to the colored man
That party is going to continue to
hold the same position that it always
held, that the only political and social
safety for this state is for the white
man to continue in political control
The democratic party has provided the
machinery by creating white demo
cratic party to which all white men
and all white women are welcomed.
There never has been any objection
at least since the torrid and horrid
days of reconstruction, to the sensi-
bic, level headed negro voting. He
has always done so when he desired
providing he had registered and paid
his poll taxes. Despite the frequent
assertions of the northern papers to
the contrary. the negro is not disfran-
cnised in Florida and he has full lib
erty to vote at the general elections
for ali county state and national
candidates.
We are not going to interfere with
the progress cf the colored man. we
will continue to provide schools and
educational institutions, far in advance
of his own ability to provide. We are
not going to interfere with his lawful
pleasures or his social arrangements
We are going to provide, as far as
possible labor by which he may OBJ
tain living and educate his children
We are going to encourage him tc
own his home, to farm his own land
to conduct his own business, to be-
come a member of his own church and
his own lodge. We are going to help
him all we can.
But, after all, the negro will have
to go through the same process that
the white man has passed through. to-
ward higher civilization and culture
was compelled and is still COMPELLED
TO work out his own salvation through
self sacrifice, thrift and labor. He
win have to learn as the white man
had to learn. and his advancement de-
ponds almost altogether upon himself
Because we organize white party
TO insure political control is no indi-
cation that the members of that party
are going to deter the negro from
working out his Industrial and eco
nomical freedom. 1t does not mean
that the democratic party is going tc
place a straw in the path of the col
ored man TO detain him on his way
to better things. On the contrary. that
party stands ready to assist the negro
in every reasonable ambition, but it is
not willing to create in him an anbi
tion TO achieve political control. nor
is ii willing that any such ambition
shall be achieved.
In that much we differ from the re-
publican party OF the state.-Afiaini
Herald.
