The Leagu. .,Ad the Conferences

All shades OF opinion on the subject
of the league OF nations will be repre-
sented at the conferences to be held
next month at Marion. Mr.. Harding
wants advice, and will seek it in ail
quarters entitled to the highes: con
sideration. Men who want to build on
the Paris model. with only such
changes as the Senate debate deve!-
oped as necessary to make the league
conform to our constitutional require
ments. and men who are opposed to
building on any mode'--wEo want no
league at ali-njl! alike be heard with
patience and respect hy the PRESIDENT
elect
At last. however. IS not this the
question: How shall the landslide Of
the I'd instant be interpreted as re-
spects the league?
And here we come to :. division Il
opinion. with very able men opposing
one another.
One opinion is that the league as
proposed by the President explains
the landslide-in the main. caused it.
The cry Of Americanism, uttered
earnestly and persuasively. carried
everything before it. Asked to keep
their institutions free from all foreign
entanglements and possible foreign
domination, the people responded with
emphasis. America first, and America
always independent. The. advice of the
fathers still holds in this country.
Another opinion is that the league.
per Sc. had little to do with the phe.
nomepal result at the polls; that the
people had soured on wisconsin and aaln1td
all that it represented. and eagerly
embraced the first opportunity to
smash it.
These two opinions will be presented
to Mr.. Harding by men who hold
them, and who enjoy his respect, and
he will wrestle with them in his own
time and way. And. as may be seen.
it will be some wrestle.

Democratic Duty.

In an interview given yesterday,
former Senator Lewis Of Illinois said
something-if slang phrase Is per-
missihle, said a mouthful. Take this:
The democrats must do everything
to help President Harding's admins
tration carry out the policies voted
by the people. The democracy must
be patriotic, not party idiotic. We
cannot do against Harding that which
we condemned the Senate republicans
for doing against Wilson. We would
earn the contempt of public opinion"
The President asked for "a solemn
referendum" on the league Of nations.
That is to say, he asked for an in
dorsement of his administration on the
treaty of peace signed by him in
France. of which, to us, the league
was, far and away. the most impor.
tant feature.
The republican party accepted the
challenge. the country was polled, and
tr" most overwhelming vote recorded
=, ur history was thrown against the
PRESIDENT. Hundreds of thousands Of
democrats-considering themselves
none the less democrats-joined the re-
+ : 7
publicans in condemning the pact
These democrats did more than this
They voted to put the republican party
in power on platform with the terms
of which they were fully acquainted.
Now. as Mr.. Lewis suggests. it is
the duty of these democrats to make
their votes good. They must support
Mr.. Harding in every fair effort he in
stitutes to obey the mandate issued
on the I'd instant. The people. asked
to speak, have spoken in the lawful
way, and their commands must be
needed. For those VINO voted to put
the republicans into complete control
to turn now on partisan grounds and
try to hinder the carrying out Of the
republican program fairly interpreted
would be both an Illogical and an alb
surd act.

There are two reasons for failure

Japan could not afford to go to war
with the United States on the ques-

would be against her. In some very
powerful quarters, opinion would be
emphatically against her. This is not
the only country where the japanese
are regarded as unassimilable.

YOUNG WOMAN'S

Chooses It's Officers, Adopts /,
Constitution And Discusses
Plans For Future Work.

Some time ago the D. A. RS of
Lexington discussed the matter of a
summer recreation course for the
girls and young women of the city.
Miss Elliott Todhunter, who had
been doing some work for the Nation
al Y. w. C. A. Board, presented plans
which might be made into q pro-
program for Lexington.
After thoro discussion and after
careful thought over the whole prop
o%sition, the members of the D. A. R.
voted unanimously to put on such a
course provided help from the Nat
ional Y. w. c.. A. Board could be
secured.
Mrs. N. E. Basket, Regent of the
D. A. R., appointed Miss Todhunter
chairman of a committee to launch
the proposition.
On the evening of June 81, a mass
meeting of the women and girls of
Lexington was held and judging from
the enthusiasm manifested in This
meeting, the summer course seemed
TO be very desirable project.
Miss Alice Florer of the National
Y. W. c. A. Board, South Contra.
Field came to Lexington June % and
with the b. A. R. committee met and
organized the girls and women intC
the various activities, eleven in all
Among them has been sewing. story
telling, Folk games, swimming, hik.
ing, volley ball, dodge ball, old fash.
Toned games, tennis and croquet.
The swimming pool will be oper
for the rest of the summer on Mon.
day of each week, all day and even.
ing for the enjoyment 'of the girls
and women who are members of the
Y. W. C. A.
This recreational project proved 81
successful and so popular with thu
young people hat the ladies' of tn
D. A. r. thought it too big a propo
sition for one organization to handl,
and also that it should be communi
ty wide.
Accordingly, an election was he'll
to elect a board, democratic in char
acter, thus representing all organi
cations of the city. On Monday a
3 o'clock these board members re
sponded to a call from Miss Flore
inviting them to meet in the board o
directors room at the Lafayett
County Trust Company. Thirty mem
bers were elected on the board an
nealy all of them were present. Mr.:
N. E. Basket reviewed the origins
proceedings and made some very az
propriate remarks concerning tn
whole proposition
Mrs. Josephine Shelton English
who is home for the summer is

she was invited to bring some idea

be helpful. Mrs. English, altho lin
