Pretender Franks Faux Pas

That plethoric protege of Tammany
Hall. Franklin d. Roosevelt, appears
TO be directing his diatribes against
the Republican charge that in the as
sembly of the league OF nations Great
Britain would have six votes to the
United States one if this country
should become a member. On one oc
casion he disposed of the matter by
saying that the Republicans were
"liars." On another he assured his
audience that Republicans "are play
ing n shell game on the American peo-
pie" in making such an assertion. "As
a matter OF fact" declares Mr.. Roose-
Welt without blush, "the United
States has about twelve votes in the
assembly" 1t appeared from subse-
quent remarks that he arrived at his
total by counting upon Haiti, Santo
Domingo. Panama, Cuba and seven
other Central American countries not
named to cast their votes as the United
States might dictate. In making that
computation Mr.. Roosevelt has indulg-
ed in most violent assumption not
flattering to the sensibilities or inde-
pendence of the countries mentioned.
With herself and five actual colonies
England has six votes in the league
assembly. while the United States
would have but one If we enter the
field of conjecture as to how many
other votes either country could in
fluenee to itself, the result is as likely
to Increase the preponderance OF Eng
land as to lessen it.

WASHINGTON NOTES
Self.Determination for Us

A dispatch to the New York Sun
says that European powers are plan
ming to revise the league of nations
according to their conception Of Ameri-
can ideals, and lay their suggestions
before this government in case the
next administration is Republican. OF
course it is very considcrate Of the
statesmen of those countries to offer
to do our thinking for us. but Ameri-
can Senators feel quite competent in
that direction themselves. European
interests were exceedingly well cared
for while Mr.. Wilson was assuming to
represent America, a fact fully real
lied by Europeans. Now that Repub-
Leans are about to take charge of our
foreign relations, the diplomats of
Europe are becoming very apprehen-
sive that Americas treaties in the fu-
ture will consider America first.

In old aliases the peninsula Is called
Korea. For years II was known as

the China-Japanese war the land b.

though even then Japan claimed .1uris-
diction over the country. But Korea
enjoyed her freedom only a short
time as an independent nation.
II was on August %. 1918. that
Japan formally annexed Korea. a. an
integral part Of the kingdom. The
old name was changed to Chosen. In
japanese this name Is divided into i've
syllables-Cho Sen. This means The
Land OF the Morning Calm"
Perhaps no other name would bettes
suit the land which was once called
the Hermit kingdom. for its people
are indeed very calm. So calm have
they been considered By Japan that IL
isn't generally known there was some
opposition to the annexation OF the
Kingdom. and that republic was
formed and a president elected. Ths

Many are the strange customs Of
this old little land. At one time the
king ordered all men TO wear broad
brimmed hats made Of material %
brittle the men couldn't "get their
heads together" without nicking their
hats. And SO. the story runs con

But the mileposts Of Chosen are nos
made Of brittle material. They ara

are set up along the highways. carved
with Chosen characters. which give
the traveller the Information he ~

traveller these mileposts look more like
