Cat Walked Tiuht Wire

Columbus, lnd.-TOmmy, large
Maltese cat owned by Peter Rogers of
East Columbus, became marOoned on
top Of a telephone pole which was
surrounded by the waters Of Haw
Creek, swollen by recent rains. His
cries attracted large crowd, but did
not bring relief. The owner of the cat
went to the next pole, which the wa
ter had not reached, and called 10 the
cat. The animal at last started on the
cable between the poles, and after
slipping several times, but holding to
the wire, descended to safety.

TOLD IN A FEW LINES.

Bogalusa.-Work on graveling the
streets of Bogalusa is to start at
once. The contract Of II. Cowgirl. for
washed gravel, was accepted by the
Commission Council recently. Mr.
Cowgilis bid being about 81 per yard
less than the other bidders. 1t was
estimated that the city could do the
construction work for about $50 900
and as the lowest bid for the work
was arourtl 100000 it was decided
that the city street department will
construct the roads. Every street in
BogaluSa will receive attention and
before the middle of 1921 the city will
be able to boast the finest graveled
streets In the South.

our nation sign a covenant which will
commit other nations more firmly
to that which we ourselves have al
ways defended and for which we have
sometimes fought. For this as
much as anything we joined with
other allies in the recent world war
and should be anxious TO avoid an
other necessity IL that be possible.
The preamble concludes the method
Of achieving peace and security" by
urging the maintenance of justice
and a scrupulous respect for treaty
obligations in the dealings Of or
ganized people"
Treaties" are more definite than
understandings" and yet they have
sometimes been regarded as scraps Of
paper" The Covenant of the League
sets forth confidence and integrity ss
the basis of all international relations,
as It is Of all social relations. The
same obligation that binds a man to
respect his note at the bank or to
keep his contract with a fellowman
should bind nations in their relations
with one another.
How can any man hesitate for a
moment to subscribe to such a high
purpose? Personally, I will gladly
and whole-heartedly subscribe to
every sentiment so nobly expressed
in the preamble to the League and
with pure patriotism will commit my
country, so far as in me lies, by vote
and influence.
If there is any harm in the League
of Nations, it must be in the method
of securing the objects rather than in
the objects themselves. Later ar
ticles will deal with this question.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONsL-ITs.
PURPOSE L.
Prof. ]. n. Robertson

The League Of Nations is easily
the greatest issue ever referred 10 the
American people for decision. The
fullest and freest discussion is, there
fore, in place. That IL comes before
the people in political campaign Is
at once an advantage and a disadvan-
tage. II ensures a sharp and keen
presentation Of the reasons for and
against. On the other hand, IL leads TO
exaggeration, misinterpretation, and
In some cases wilful misrepresenta-
tion for the securing Of an object.
IL Is the purpose Of this and sub
sequent articles TO present the League
OF Nations itself as IL is set forth in
the Covenant rather than TO present
opinions about II. The strong COM
prehensive, carefully chosen phrases,
speak for themselves more loudly,
eloquently and truthfully than any
political speaker or silver-tongued
orator can possibly do.
We hear and read Of many strange
fantastic purposes which the League
Of Nations is supposed to serve.
Let us see what the real purposes
are as expressed in the preamble to
the Covenant Of the League itself.
The contracting parties agree TO the
Covenant for these reasons: First,
I'm order TO promote international
cooperation" It is generally believed
that cooperation is a good thing. We
do II in our business and civic affairs,
and most people feel that we have
too little rather than too much CO.
operation.
II it is altogether a good thing
among individuals, why should II not
be equally so, or even more, between
nations where competition and rival
ries are most keen and bitter. But
could not nations cooperate without
any agreement TO which they bind
themselves? Certainly they could, and
they have; but IL is almost truism
TO say that organization, with we'll
defined methods for meeting together
for discussion and for action, is bet
ter than occasional, uncertain, and
ofttimes ill-considered cooperation.
Any argument TO the contrary is an
argument against the organization of
society itself along every line.
There is no limit placed in the
Covenant TO this cooperation and
none is needed. The objects Of its
operation are numerous. Some are
specifically mentioned and provided
for, such as international trade, labor
matters, the control Of disease, citi-
zenship and others. Many misunder-
standings have occurred in the past
which could have been avoided had
there been a wav to do so.
Why should any one hesitate TO

And when Pomona hears
She'll leave us 70 November's frosts

commit himself or his nation to such
an object as this?
But the preamble proceeds to name
a second purpose, namely, ito achieve
international peace and security by
the acceptance of obligations not to
resort TO war" We are told that the
League will draw the nation that
signs Il into war. But how can that
be II the nations who sign UNDER
stand the language of the Covenant
and subscribe TO IL with honest in
tent. Is IL not apparent to any
one that the more the number of
nations that sign such a promise, the
better IL will be and less the chance,
at least, for war.
IL would be doing, on a large
scale and at one time, that which
the U. s. has already done separately
with many nations. At least thirty
treaties have been signed by US with
other nations in which we have "ac-
cepted an obligation" not to go TO war
except for purposes Of self-defense
or honor, and we have several times
tried to include those two causes in
new treaties.
Why should we refuse to commit
ourselves or our nation to that on a
large scale which we have already
done on a small scale and with
greater promise Of success?
The preamble proceeds to set forth,
with fuller specifications, the means
Of achieving "peace and security"
II is to be done by the prescription
of open, just and honorable relations
between nations" The Doctors
health-giving prescription could not
be more productive Of healing to the
individual than would "just, open and
honorable relations between nations"
It would be like the rays Of the sun
in damp and dark corners.
Why should any one hesitate to
take that prescription, administer it
to his country, or even to force it
on to refractory and tagging nations?
Still further, the preamble speci-
fies, as a means Of achieving peace
and security, "the firm establishment
of the understandings Of international
law as the actual rule of conduct
among governments. In other
words, that governments should op-
crate under law. There has never
been anybody that could legislate for
international relations, and so thew
are called understandings. These
may have the binding force Of law IL
based on good faith and regarded as
binding.
From the beginning of it's history
the u. s. has desired to increase
these understanding" and to give
them the force Of law. They cover
every possible relation that one ma
tion can have with another.
Why should we not be glad to have
