PRESS COMMENT.
BORAHS CHALLENGE.

When Senator Lodge insisted on making
the Treaty OF Peace a partisan issue he
apparently did not know that some Of his
Republican colleagues were sinccrs and
honest in their opposition.
Senator ] o ige planned 10 play politics
with the Treaty sufficiently to discredit
President Wilson abroad and to estab-
lish a claim that the Republicans had
"Americanixed" the Covenant OF the
League of Nations and saved the country
from the nav oil a "super-government.
That is as far a, he had intended to go.
He did not reckon on Senator Borah
and perhaps certain other Republican
Senators who were gsinst the Treaty on
States could really Isolate itself and
ignore the rest of the world
In the process of framing a partisan
program. Sc ator Lodge willingly
met the demands of the Battalion OF
Death and accepted their amendm nts
and reservations, knowing that the Senate
would reject them and believing that he
would then be master of the situation.
But Senator Borah did rot happen to be
playing ward politics with the Treaty.
tic was out to beat it, not merely to be-
devil it and show the European govern
ments what the Senate could do in the
way Of repudiating President
When Lodge threatened to make tho
Treaty an sue In the Presidential cam
paign, everybody knew he was bluthng.
But Borah intends to make il an issue,
and he is not bluff.ng. Already he has
addressed n letter TO Governor Lowden
in which he insists on knowing the
Governors attitude toward the treaty
and the League General Wood and
the other Republican candidates who
arc not on record will be ssked to say
where they stand. and the Senator from
Idaho will then proceed 10 carry his
case 10 the Republican National Con-
ventIon.
In making this challenge, Senator
Borah Is performing highly meritorious
public service Republicans who pro
fca to favor the Treaty with the Lodge
reservations have been accusing tho
President of selling out the United States
to Great Britain d France. Either they
believe their own charges or they do not.
II they believe them, hey are moral
towards if they vote for the ratif cation
Of such q Treaty of Peace, regardless Of
reservations if they do not believe
them, they ar engaged in a plot to
deceive the American people New York

RIGHTS.

The mennnst N IN ever raw
Knew sll there il about the law,
He never stepped sn inch beyond
The legal phrAsing Of his bond;
He wouldn't lie and wouldn't cheat,
But children lodged him ON the streo4.
And neighbors had no love for him
Because his wsyr were stern and grim;
He wanted everything in sight
II he could say twas his by night.
I've noticed that the meanest nights
Begin with men who want their rights.
Even ~ Shylock, they pursue
The final dollar that j. due,
And though they paw the debts they owe,
No mercy to their friends they show;
The law proclaims them honest men.
But in the ver dict rendered then,
Throughout the script you cannot dnd
That IL is written they are kind.
An men have rights, and yrt II s1crns
The bappiest ioyr and sweetest drear
Are always theirs who now and then
Forego their nights for other men;
Men who their petty claims release
For friendship or the sake of peaoc,
And would not make smother bleed
Although the law allowed the deed,
Know more about the worlds delights
Than they who ooldly want their rights
Give me the man who will not rrrSr
The neighhor who is in distress,
The man OF principle gho gives
Some thought 10 how his brother livu
And chooses rather here 10 act
" it'll kindness than in ways exsct;
The man who. u hen there Is . doubt,
Forrets his clnim and wipes it out,
He shall be richer in the end
For having been to sll friend
