Foreian Leanue Views.

No more interesting comment
upon the recent election has ap-
peared than that made in the press
OF the foreign countries with when
America has cen associated in the
war and Professionally in the making
OF peace, One OF the most noticeable
features OF these comments is the
lack Of any evidence OF dissappOint-
ment or regret BY common con.
sent the results are regarded as
clearing the atmosphere and as in
augurating regime under which it
may be possible 70 overcome the diff
ficulties that have heretofore attend
ed the ratification of peace by this
country, including the acceptance of
the Ledgue pf Nations The results
'sre not interpreted as putting an
end to international co operation for
peace, but as creating a basis for
Ia general revision of methods under
which the most practical advance
possible can be made for the pur-
pose OF insurance against war.
Another Tact appearing ia the for
eign comment Is that governments
ether than ours propose to retain
their national control OF policies
they consider of vital moment to
themselves. I'm other words. they
are making mental reservations to a
covenant they have already ratified.
Premier Hughes Of Australia has
just delivered an address before the
Australian House OF Representa-
tiyes in which he declares that his
Government could never submit to
the League the question of main
tanning white Australia To
him this i q matter of vital national
concern, and not one on which Aus
tralia would he bound by any inter
national action He points out that
this is case similar to that of
Great Britain which declined to sub
nit the freedom of the seas to inter
national action, and of the United
States which declines to submit the
Monroe Doctrine or any other policy
that it considers vital toits national
welfare, GO theootion of n sr
we fare, TO The action Of ~ inter
national board.
In other words, as the whole case
energies from what may be consider
ed the smoke OF the war and the pas
sions thereby engendered the general
disposition among the nations desir-
| Ing 10 promote peace is to make the
association of nations as general
and as strong as possible without
creating obligations that would impair
national Independence of action in
vital matters. The result is likely to
, be an agreement providing the means
for o united moral force against war
fever and also means for quick con
| ference and action IN case of any sud
den threat OF war The basic obliga.
Ition would be TO maintain union of
Ipurpcse in behalf Of peace, with pro
visions for arbitration or international
court action to which cay resort
could be had in many disputes without
the sacrifice OF either national pride
or Independence. Springfield Union.

vENruREsoME MARRIAGES.

Venturesome youth and unwise age
march through the marrlage-license Of

where another old man and another

the venturesome, the thoughtless, who
feel a serene and smiling certainty
that they can take the risk and neyei

seems ever to be their portion, but
there are other instances Of which
little need be said. II seems certain
youth Is happlest when associated
with youth and that old age and even
mature years unfit for harmonious as
sociadon with the flush of youth.
But, no matter how much proof may
be accumulated, the yenthresome will
venture, the daring will dare, and the
divorce courts will divorce.

oh has he gone, forever gone,

But since he could no longer stay
To cheer us with his love.
We hope to meet with him again

parted this life one year ago to-day
Feb. 2Sth, 1919.
One year has passed, our hearts still sore,
As time goes on we miss him more.
His loving smile, his loving face,
one can fill his vacant place.
We shall meet him some bright morning.
By the tree of life so fair,
He is waiting for our coming
In the upper garden there.
'Tis not the tears of the moment shed
That tell how we loved the soul that fed,
'Tis the silent tears of the long, long years
That fond remembrance kept
If others forget him, never shall we.
Sadly missed by Dad and Mother.

Patriotism Should Be Fostered.

February 26, 1920.
Editors Pleasantville Press:-
Patriotism is neither a pleasure nor
an exemption from a task that should
be performed. 1t consists of the prop
er mental attitude of II toward his
government. 1t is true that it is m
time hard to tell by outward express
sions and the actions of others whe-
Their they have the attitude of mind
which might be said to be patriotic.
Benedict Arnold did many things that
would lead one to believe that he had
espoused the cause of freedom of the
colonies, but everyone knows that his
patriotism was lacking. George Wash
ington and men of later days, such as
Jackson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt. were
men of true patriotic principles and
they are the persons whose patriotism
should be emulated by every true AM
But what boy or what girl car fol
low the teachings of these true Amer
leans if they do not know the princi-
pies which they advocated? In other
words, it is absolutely necessary for
one to know the facts to believe be-
fore he a be said to be fixed in his
belief. AS the Board of Education was
cognizant of the foregoing, and since
it knew that in youth is the proper
time to instil into the minds of per-
sons the basic principles of patriotism,
it decided that it vas best to have the
public school children celebrate Wash
Birthday by patriotic recita-
tons, readings and songs. However,
as several organizations felt that the
ordinary practice of celebrating the
day should be followed, the Board lat
er decided to put the responsibility of
proper patriotic celebration by the
young of our city up to those organiza-
tons, and therefore closed the doors
of these nurseries of liberty. l do not
find fault with those who desired the
schools closed for l believe their mo-
were pure, but l believe that the
view taken by the Board of Education
is not far wrong. The public schools
are institutions which have so far
perpetuated our liberty, and though
they seem to cost a great deal, their
value cannot be over-estimated. They
should be made a community center
for the celebration of all holidays for
they are the only common ground
upon which all creeds can stand. All
thoughts should center upon commun-
ity betterment and when the people
come of n accord in one place, pa
triotism will abound.
