mild reservationists can stand upon
them like brothers.
Three main principles are agreed
upon. First, there shall be a denuncia-
tion Of the way the President negotiated
the treaty and the way he tried to
ram it down the throats Of the Senate.
Thercll be no weasel words in that.
On that point the Republican party is
splendidly united party.
Second, the Republican Senate will
be praised for the way 1t saved the
nation. Here the statesmen disagree.
One plank says by attaching reserva-
tions to the treaty. But reservations
are subject of bitter disputes. An
irreconcilable hates a reservation as
much as be hates Wilson. Another
suggestion IN that the nation was saved
by Americanizing the treaty. Another
would let II 60 with merely praising
the Senate for saving the nation.
Third, It is agreed that there must
be constructive program committing
the party to some machinery Of peace.
Here the writers are at sea. The words
must not sQuint toward the League Of
Nations. Nor must they sauint toward
an international arbitration tribunal,
which might be a substitute for the
League of Nations. They must becross-
eyed and look in both directions at once.
A wise head snys the declaration will
finally read something like this: 1.-The
Republican party has always favored an
agreement among nations for the ad
iustment of disputes arising among
them" These words sound bare, but
they will be done up in cotton batting
Of about 200 others words so that they
naked. The League Of Nations will
probably not be mentioned by name in
the plank Neither will reservations nor
anything on which a party so variously
and actively minded as the Republican
party might differ.
Democratic Platform Ready
Meanwhile. the Democrats have not
only a plank on the treaty but a whole
platform. written, 1t is said by Post :
master General Burleson. Mr.. Tumulty
Mr.. Homer Cummings and others. You
might think that the Democrats could
be brief and to the point on the league
but no, it takes them 600 words to
express their emotions.
There is in their draft long argu
ment why there should be a League oi
Nations now; why, the time, the mood
and the man had arrived to start q
League of Nations; how the heart o.
the world was broken when the Repub
lican Senate nullifed, destroyed ant
otherwise dscredited the League oI
Nations, and finally a declaration fol
the League of Nations as the only way
to keep the worlds peace. Severa
Democratic senator's are busy with riva
planks.
The net result of this platform writ.
ing Is that the Democratic party has
the League of Nations and all its as
sets. The Republican, party is for some
undisclosed plan which will preserve
peace. The Democrats have little tn,
best of it. for the Republicans concedt
the necessity of some international or
ganization and are on the defensive a:
to why it should not be 1.-The league.

MATR|MONY COST
HIT BY CLERGYMAN
Brldgeton, N. j., Pastor Offers
First Aid to Cupid in Form
OF Reduced Fees
"20 PER CENT OFF," SLOGAN

twenty per cent off for matrimony.
Ihis is the latest body blow to old

may be wedding marched to the tune
Seeing an opportunity to aid those
VINO have been speared by Cupid. the
Rev. J. ]. Messler. of the First Metho.
DIST Church, Of Bridgeton. n. J.. has
announced the cut in wedding fees.
But Mr.. Messler believes in being
fair and reasonable in his matrimonial
economics. The bridegroom who hands
OUT dollar or so for heart welding can
not expect any consideration.
The clergyman's general plan is
given, in the following announcement,
issued today.
Owing to the high cost of living
! desire to give notice that a liberal
discount of 20 per cent will be given
to all parties seeking to be joined in
the bonds of matrimony, provided the
fee Justifies the giving Of such a lib.
eral discount.
(Signed) "J.J. NESSLER
'Of course I have no regular fee ~
said Mr.. Messler today. "I leave IL to
the discretion of the bridegroom. The
man who counted on giving ME $40
would be justified in handing me SS
and other amounts in proportion. The
81 saved would buy couple pounds
of butter and few dozen eggs"
DO you think it will increase the
number. Of Bridgeton bridegrooms?" he
was asked.
II have reason to believe IL will.''
replied the minister. "as there is evi
dence that every one is endeavoring ia
be as economical as possible. The cost
of clothing has been reduced, so why
not matrimony?'
Does your congregation approve the
plan?" y
81 have not consulted members oi
. the congregation concerning It. They
are reasonable people and suppose they
will approve"
