the covenant. And, of course, it is
quite impossible to alter that rela-
tion through amendment, as the con-
sent Of each member OF the council
Is necessary. which In this cas- would
never be granted.
The notorious Article X of the cov-
enant. about which revolved most of
the fight on the league in this coun-
try, has received similar denuncia-
ton at Geneva. The fact that the
article was framed and inserted at
the personal insistence of Mr.. Wilson
appears not to lessen the storm
against II. Members have boldly as
serted that they do not car to guar
antee the integrity of all other men,
bers, and Canada introduced a reso-
luton to eliminate the Objectionable

all others, was rejected. and the OBJ

a thorn In the side of each of them.

of obligations such as those contained

ers for them. Their representatives
in the Senate saved them from pit
falls into which the individual in the
White House would have plunged the
nation; and the people themselves, by
popular vote. condemned the cove

A G
COVENANT

1t appears from the proceedings at
Geneva that the United States, of all
nations, was the only one to investi-
gate closely the effect of the league
of nations Upon its welfare, should
it become a member. Glittering gen.
eralities of the Wilson covenant ap-
peared to blind less discerning ma
lions to its dangers; and in their
eagerness to turn to anything that
held hopes for world peace they all
rushed to its support. The Geneva
discussions, however, have revealed
to all participants what one observer
terms the astonishing vagueness and
obscurity' of the covenant. Even Mr..
Balfour Of the British delegation and
NJ. Viviani of France are unable to
interpret its provisions.
AS members have discovered state
ments and omissions in the covenant
~prejudicial to their own interests.
they have sought the adoption Of
amendments. only to find that every
amendment must receive the unani-
nous approval of the nine nations
forming the league council; and, In
addition. the approval of a majority
of nations composing the assembly.
In short, 1t is practically impossible
to alter the original language of the
undertaking, which fact was clearly
emphasized by the debates in our own
Senate. Realizing the hopelessness
of revising the covenant to meet the
widely divergent views Of the forty
or more member nations. the COM
mittee appointed to consider various
amendment proposed. reported them
all unfavorably. Thereupon the Ar
gentine delegation, presumably act
ing upon cabled instructions from its
home government, withdrew from
further participation in the proceed
ings.
Another disconcerting fact that APP
pears to have dawned upon the lesser
members Of the assembly is that the
covenant bestows control of the
league council in perpetuity upon the
Big Five which dominated the peace
conference at Paris. Naturally. the
smaller countries do not take kindly
TO the domination through all future
time OF the executive body OF tbs

TO YOU AND L
A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is the last issue of The Silver
State before Christmas. This news
paper will not be published on

deep down in our hearts that this
may be the merriest Christmas you
have yet had.

hills, and yet as beautiful as It is
ancient, to turn with q warm heart
at this period Of the year to those
about US. and to feel again the spirit
felt by those away back In early days
when the brightest star of all how

catch the anxious yearning that STIR
red the three wise men as they fol-
lowed that star, and we seem to feel
in our hearts the peace which fell
upon them and about them as they
knelt about the manger which Graded
the object Of their fondest hopes.
Our hearts warm toward each other
anew. and we feel again the majesty
of the One whose birth we have come
to celebrate this week.
Blessed with good health, good
homes, and good neighbors; sur
rounded by a bountiful harvest which
will sustain the nation through an
other year: enjoying the peace which
was promised two thousand years ago
and the goodwill of our fellow-men;
this, then, should be the merriest
Christmas of them all. Passing safe
ly through twelve months Of pros

or pestilence, we come to the season
Of good cheer and light hearts happy
in the privilege of having near us
those whom we love and who love us;
those who bear us no malice; those
who bring US. with joyous smiles and
steadfast hands, the palmleaf of
friendship and fraternalism

we celebrate for having led us safely
to this season. At no time have we

and all people who live therein.
We bring you at this Christmas
time the greeting of good cheer. out
Of a heart that feels and knows the
goodness of your own. We offer to

which now hovers about you as a

NON.CHRISTMAS
UTTERANCE

1t must be anything but gratifying
to those well-intentioned citizens who
are willing to part with a portion of
their worldly wealth for the purpose
of creating Christmas cheer, to read
in a local newspaper that (quoted)
there Is not a person in the entire
county known who would be deemed
an object of charity or who would
care to accept help from either of the
funds mentioned; there are some
Piute Indians" etc.
Disregarding one of the prime prin-
ciples of every lodge" sneering at
one of the fundamentals of every
Christian religion. this alleged news
paper, oblivious of the teachings of
the wonderful thirteenth chapter of
Corinthians concerning charity, de-
clares there is NO occasion for any
thing of the kind in Humboldt county,
Nevada! Does it mean that Hum
boldt county is different from every
other place in the world? And in
what way is it different? Is 1t to be
inferred that 1t Is more pure and
happy, or SO degraded that the amen
tiles of human life and the teachings
of Christianity are not appreciated
here?
Nine Wfnnemucca families have
at this time been reported as worthy
of Christmas cheer. Destitute" per-
sons, were there any, are provided
for by numerous laws of the commu-
nifty and state-laws which should be
lived up to.
There are some cases of "destitu-
ton" of which the newspaper seems
unconscious. Food and clothing are
not the most serious things human
beings may be destitute of. The lack
of a consciousness of good will
toward man" Is the saddest case of
restitution to be recorded. The Silver
State doubts II the Piute Indians are
so poyerty-stricken.
