WHAT BRAEDEGEE HELPED PRE-
 VENT.
 It was only few days ago that President Wilson declared that he would leave it to the people of Missouri to de- termine whether he or Senator Spencer Of Missouri is right as to what PresI- dent Wilson said to the Rumanian and Serbian representatives at the peace conference. It is quite significant there fore when report comes from Kansas City, Mo, to the effect that Missouri strength being secured as the result of the controversy with the president.
 This means that the Missouri voters recognize that what Senator Spencer has been setting forth as the statement made by tine president is so close to it, if not actually the words that the meaning is the same.
 In this connection there cannot be overlooked the official French text pub lished in English which has been made 1 public by Dr. Fl. A. Gibbons of Prince ton and which document was passed up on by the president and declated satis | | proved speech in question
 1 In this document the president is quot ed as saying that the guarantee giver to the countries of which those to whom l he was speaking were delegates mean. that the United States will send to thi. side of the ocean their army and theil navy"
 That means that We would be obi gated to preserve the territorial integ rity of European nations and that VI would have to send our army and nav! when conditions required it.
 Isn't there good and sufficisnt reasol why We should refrain from any sucl obligation, and keep out of Europea wars? Isn't the fact that he has stoo stcadfastiy against getting into such d cntanglement sufficient reason why Con necticut should return Senator Brande gee to Washington? Is there any won der why Missouri voters are decidin against the president?

The peace concluded between the bol- shevikt and tho Poles in Riga, on October ,12. is not a solution, but new and dangerous complication in the Russian Polish relations. The Riga peace is an act pregnant with the possibility of fu- ture conflicts between Russia and Poland and is, therefore, a menace, to Europe and to the entire world, writes. A. J. Sack, 'di- rector of the Russian information bureau in the United States.
 In discussing the Russian-Pelish rela- tions and the Riga conference, I wrote on. October End, ten days before the arrange ment between the bolsheviki and the Poles was reached:
 'The main feature of the conference in Riga, the feature that may have import ant historical consequences, is that Rus sia is not represented at this conference, in spite of the fact that it's task is to settle the problem of Russian-Polish re- lations.
 While Poland is represented by dele gates of her constitutional government, chosen and recognized by her people, l Russia is represented at this conference by the bolsheviki, whose rule was never recognized by the Russian people. Since | the very moment of the bolsheviki com | ing into power, and up till now, we wit l ness in Russia series of national move ments which will continue until the bol- shevist tyranny is overthrown, and gov ernment chosen by the Russian people Is established in the country.
 "No matter what is the Russian-Polish i treaty to which the bolSheviki will agree 1 the treaty will not bind Russia if it's con l tents will contradict the dignity or the
 vital interests of the Russian people ! The bofsheviki, alarmed by their defeai
 and by the continuing Polish offensive, arc ready to make Riga second Brest-Li-
 tovsk They are ready to concede te Poland a borderline very much more faV orabIe to Poland than the borderline fixet by the peace conference. They are ready among other things. to recognize, in tht name of Russia, the independence O Ukraine, thus meeting one of the mali demands of the Polish imperialistss O 1 those circles of the Polish political opin | ion that not long. ago influenced the Pol ish government to conclude the well known agreement with the so-called Gen era1 PetIura.
 I I've consider 1t our duty to stat plainly that, in our opinion, the agree ment that may be concluded at the Rig; conference will prove fatal if the Pole have not learned sufficiently from tn recent lesson When as a result or enei | inperialistic policy the red army wa standing before warsaw If Poland vii

Why There Must Be Shadows.

Ioftier destinies compel some present darkness, just as mountains cast shadow. If life were never to go 10 a higher stage always to stay on the pres ent level, we might be able to see every thing clearly and understand everything perfectly even now.
 Aboy complained to Thomas Arnold hecause certain lessons were so difficult and so far as he could see. useless. Ar mold said: q can not make you under stand now of what use these things are going to be to you, but you know am yo1r friend. Well as your friend who knows what you are going to need want you to study these lessons, can we moi believe that Divine Love IS al- ways saying the same to us: AS your friend. who knows what you are goina to need I want you to go through this darkness" Trouble and labor ant weariness are simple ways up to the mountain of loftier destinies. Tear: may be given to wash our eyes, that we i may see more clearly.

THE DANGER OF THE RIGA PEACE

the peace arrangement between the bol- sheviki and the Poles, concluded on De- tober 18th. The main features of the Riga peace arc. on tiie one hand the recognition by both parties of an inde- pendent Ukraine and of an independent White Russia and. on the other. tine es- tablishraene of bordeFffne that runs about 150-zoe miles east of the so-called Curzon line. thereby adding to the terri tory of ethnographic Poland Russian territory of approximately S0,o00 square
 miles. with population which according I to the pre-war census equals 10000, ,oae. of whom but a,l insignificant minority are | Poles.
 It Is clear that the Russian people will
 never recognize this peace arrangement The Polish statesmen have made a grave rnistalse in imposing upon Russia, through
 the temporary usurpers of her govern
 nent peace that contradicts both Rus
 sia's dignity and her vital interests. The
 victory, on the basis of which Poland was l able to dictate her demands to the bol-
 sheviki at Riga, was made possible only through energetic operations of the south. ! ern antilbolshev1st army led by Gen i eral Wrangel. on the one hand. and. or
 the other. through the activity Of the Rus
 sian army, organized by Boris Savinkov the army which fought the boIshevih er the Polish front. E. V. Savinkov under
 took the organization of the Russian de
 tachments in Poland only after tn solemn declaration by General Piis1dsar
 that Poland Is fighting against the bol
 sheviki and not against Russia. The con
 ditions imposed upon Russia in Riga ar
 offensive to those Russian patriotic ant
 democratic forces whose activity con
 tributed much to the Polish victory.
 The Riga peace Is not a solution but
 new and dangerous complication in tn
 Ruesian-Polish relations. It is but tenn Lporary arrangement against which resur rected, democratic Russia will setivel ! protest as soon as she comes to life. It , to be hoped that the democratic nation , throughout the world will understan, the danger which the new injustic against the Russian people. tenporaril weakened by internal anarchy, present . to the entire world.

THE ST. LAWRENCE CANAL.

In the test that is being applied to the different sections that are likely to be concerned in one way or another as the result of putting through the con temblated plan of constructing a satp canal through the St. Lawrence river, the international joint commission is getting much the same variety of opiz- ions that 1t expected.
 It is finding those who are heartily in favor of 1t and believe that 1t wlll ac complish all that Is anticipated. It is enconntering those who are much os- posed to 1t because of the effect that it can be expected to have upon that par t.cular section, becaaSe of the expense involved, because of the interference wirh existing transportation systems and for eign business and because Of the fact
 that it can be used for only li+tle over half of the year. There are still o.t1srs
 who are maintaining an open mind on
 tie matter, getting the facts and watt | ing to be shown.
 Much enthusiasm is to be foun1 in ire l h,ke region and the middle west for it. The betterment to the Transportation fa- l.cilities is eagerly sought there but In New York there is strong opposition,
 while New England sentiment seems to
 have full regard for the effects 1t would be likely to have upon manufactures and transportation service in this part of the l country. The same is true in Canada
 where there are those centers which are
 equally as much opposed to it as any
 in this country and counter propositions | which would eliminate the international
 feature of it are being urged. All sorts of questions are raised in connection ! with the project but the method that Is
 being employed ought to disclose pretty clearly what the prevailing sentiment is
