N. Y. HERALD'S ERROR

It is quito possible that it was a misprint. Such things do happen in newspapers as reliable. even, as the New York Herald. But if it were a misprint it should be corrected edi- torially.
 According to all reports seen Sena- tor Harding, in his letter to President Wilson (which The New York Herald published in what has been taken to be the correct wording) stated that the stenographic reports of what he said concerning France was that France has sent her spokesman to mo informally" not that France has sent her 'spokesmen' to me informal Iy.'
 Senator Harding. according to the reports seen, and according to the published letter in the New York Her ald. spoke of Frances spokesman in the singular. not plural.
 In The New York Herald editorial of yesterday on this subject the word "spokesmon" Gin the pluraD was used.
 The latter is a much more general statement than the former. and the editorial was misleading on this point. IL Is inconceivable that the editorial writer could have made this mistake. n is not quibbling over words to call h's attention. and the attention of those who read the editorial, to the difference. Senator Harding's words would have been less objectionable if the plural had been used.
 Senator Harding in his reply to the President. apparently did not seek to alter for his own advantage the words taken down by the stenographer. The New York Herald certainly would not do SO intentionally.

"JEST RUMINATIN'." (Rcbert Russell.

"I cannot sing the old-time songs I sang long years ago. That's nonsense" says my briar friend: the sunsets aft ergIow is jest as glorious to see. the mellow rays are cast in jest as radiant a hue as in that long gone past" Our \ friends may "jazz" an we don't mind: in fact we 'jazzes" too. but that don't take the love O songs that's old from me an you. We sings about My Honey Bunch" My Pippin' " or My Peach; but that don't move My Nellie Gray beyond our mental reach. New things are stickin O their heads above the things that's old, but that don't change those melodies to dross that was pure gold. Pro- gressiveness we got to have; let's all keep on our toes; Be sure we're right, then go ahead" as that good sayin' goes. In spite O this right spirit l would surely like to know why I can't sing the old-time songs I sang long years ago?

Senator Harding will follow, favors the league which he calls an organ izntion.' and says that certain changes might be made in the league as it exists.
 Now Governor Cox. in a reassur- ing letter, restates the position he has taken. He is not opposed to reser- vations. He writes MT. Root. asking for a retracuon of the Iatter's state ment that he (Governor Cox) will insist upon the treaty just as Mir. Will son negotiated 1t. He says he will not so insist. and he refers to pre- vious statements made by him to that effect.
 Mir. Cox's letter to Mir. Root says, in part:
 l have invariably stated in my
 addresses. and restate here, my
 whoIehearted desire to make the
 United States member of the
 League of Nations. and that to
 secure that consumma.ion of the
 purpose of America when she en-
 tered the war I will accept reser-
 vations that will clarify, that will
 be helpful, that will reassure the
 American people: and that as
 matter of good faith will clearly
 state to our associates in the
 League that Congress and Con-
 gross alone has the right to de-
 clare war, and that our Consti- tuition sets up limits in legisla-
 ton or treaty making beyond
 which cannot go.
 I have stated further that I will accept reservations from any source which are offered in sim
 cerity and with a desire to be
 helpful. I have also stated that
 1T am elected president my
 election be construed only as mandate of the American people. and that to secure rati- hcation of the Treaty and the League would slt down with the members of the United States senate: I would confer with Mir. Wilson. and with you, MT. Root as we'll as with Judge Taft and all others who have sincere purpose and whose service in the past equips them especially as advisers in this work
 You know. and know full we'll. that Senator Harding very recent ly said:
 "I am not interested in clari- hcation; I am interested in rejec- tion.'
 Governor Cox and Senator Hard ing are still far apart. But Governor Cox and Mir. Root arc much nearer together on the league. and 1t is be- lieved that Senator Harding will come pretty close to changing his "asso- ciation" of nations to an "organiza- tion.'' as MT. Root calls it, based on the present league-which MT. Root most evidently had in mind in his speech.
 Nevertheless the Democrats and Republicans are getting closer to- gether on the league matter as we have once predicted. Senator Hard ing is moving toward the Democrats faster than Governor Cox toward the when the former does not happen to be on the back track Governor cox's letter to Mir Root, evinces a courageous stand.
