them, have done this thing to humanity.
VI course they make excuses and say
the plan never would have succeeded
any way But we know that it might
have succeeded if we had had men Of
good will instead Of men of wrath to
represent us in the. Senate The guilt,
as Isee it, rests on the shoulders of
these very men, and | believe it will
follow them to their graves and brand
them with shame on the pages of his
tory.
Now we are asked to vote for one Of
their number who admits that he has
not even policy In regard to the great
est question before us and who openly
rejoices at the opportunity to yield his
judgment and authority to the very
men who, with him, have made so many
OF us ashamed because they caused our
country to fail the world in it's hour of
I need. Have we sunk so low that we
have lost all the ideals for which our.
brave boys died? Did Theodore Roose-
welt, in his prime, teach us to falterl
Did Grover Cleveland live in vain? Has
Hearst become the spiritual leader Of
our people? Can't we even tell the
difference between our own ideals of
only a few years ago and this weasel
stiffness of partisan politics? What If
Tammany did help to nominate Cox,
and what if some of his campaign meth
DDS are occasionally criticised? What
are such things compared to the dis
honor Of our country tried in the coun-
ellis of the nations Of the earth-and
found wanting because it refused to
play its part. Refused to play its part
after our best and bravest had given
their all so that we might play our part.
The sick man in Washington has fin
ished his work. He may have some
faults, but he had ideals of peace and
good will among men. Lodge, Knox
and their little coterie of politicians, by
their narrowness and their whippit,
ambitions have killed the faith that
made those ideals possible. It does not
seem honorable to intrust the govern
ment and welfare of our people to them.
If we elect Cox and Roosevelt we shall
speak to them in the only language they
can understand. The great opportunity
is lost, but we can begin again to build
modestly toward the achievement of
peace if, between now and Election Day
we can get back our lost ideals and
close our ears to the gospel of selfish
ness and scuttle and broken faith and
malice that confuses Republican lead
ers of the present day.

11ERE are the reasons why /, an old
n Republican, intend to cast my
vote for Cox and Roosevelt. By
way of introduction | want to say that
my votes for President have been re-
Spectiyely for Blaine, Harrison, Nc
Kinley, Roosevelt, Taft and Hughes. |
am not, and have not been "a partisan
of Mr. Wilson. | think he must be
difficult man; am wholly out of SYM
pathy with many of his acts and APP
pointments and | have no illusions
about Democratic Congress or a Dem
ocratie Senate.
But~as see the situation now, we
are confronted by question of great
principle rather than by one of policy.
In order to get the facts into focus we
must go back to the journey Of Presi-
dent Wilson to take part in drafting
the Treaty Of Versailles. The point at
issue is not what Mr. Wilson might
have done or should have done; we are
only concerned with what he did do.
This is that he was instrumental in
getting incorporated into the treaty a
plan for nations to settle their common
affairs in peace. He avowed this to be
his purpose, and he succeeded. We do
not need to agree that it was the best
method or even good method; it was
method. The League as proposed was
compromise, as it was bound to be at
best; but it was start, a real begin
ming of that which humanity has been
dreaming of and praying for for
thousand years.
Now, for nations or for collective
bodies of men and women generally to
work together in harmony, two things
are needed: the first is a working
agreement, and the second, which is
more important, is the requirement OF
faith. The quality of faith is very sub
tie; it comes along with our ideals when
they are born, but hatred and malice
and anger kill it. We can't start much
of anything without faith, but with it
we can do what seems to be impossible.
When the armistice was signed, and
for some time thereafter, this faith was
living thing among the peoples Of the
earth. The delay in formulating the
treaty strained it, but did not break it.
The peoples still believed, largely be-
cause of the splendid part taken by the
United States, in asking for nothing
save that the world be made safe for

teacher the second year, simply be-
cause no one has made her feel any
particular desire to remain in the town..

great events turn. The Republican
Senators were indignant because they
could get no credit for making the
treaty Of course the making of treat
les is the business of the Executive and
not of the Senate, but they wanted an
advantage, talking point, a scare
head, a thing to which they could point
with pride" as special Republican
achievement. When, finally they got
the treaty they threshed around in de-
spair until something happened. How
it happened do not pretend to know.
According to gossip, their leader, Lodge
saw the Hon. Elihu Root, man Of i'm
mense ability who has rendered great
services to the country but who also
retains touch of guile. Mr.. Root is
said to have read the treaty and to have
pointed out a political issue in Article x.
Whether this is true or not, or whether
Lodge conjured up his sorry comedy
out of his own mind, is not important
at present. The fact remains that Ar
iticle X was selected as the talking
point. OF course Lodge knew, as every
intelligent citizen knows, that this
country cannot go to war except by
declaration of Congress- 1t was merely
talking point, useful to delay action
just as the reading Of back numbers of
the Congressional Record is part Of a
speech OF a Senator who wants to delay
a measure to death. There are plenty
of other features of the proposed
League that are open to criticism, but
here was one that could be made to look
more important than it was, which was
what was wanted So they talked and
talked until the one thing that could
have saved the League was dead the
quality of faith among nations, When
this opportunity for world welfare was
gone, they loaded, the treaty up with
reservations which destroyed the spirit
Of the agreement and then passed it.
Whether the President was right or
wrong to hazard the attempt to per-
suade other nations to accept such a
mutilated proposal is not>very impor-
tant, anyway. The time to do the right
thing, the big thing, the time for this
country to join so as to make the
League living body was over.
This act, the destruction of the plan
for world agreement and world peace,
seems to me veritable cataclysm of
dishonor. For a piffling little advan-
tage, because their feelings were hurt,
because they were not invited to 60 to
Paris and humiliate the President over
there if they could, those Republican
Senators with few Democrats to help

HOME ClRCLECOLUMA

There are lot of things about keep
ing home that would seem to be very
important, but when you get right
downsto. brass tacks they are not inn
portant at all, and the things you
haven't given second thought are the
ones that decide whether you are go
ing to be success as homemaker.
A great many people have always
thought that good housekeeper was
a good homemaker. but this Is not true
in the commonly accepted sense, for by
good housekeeper we usually mean
one whose home Ia -spotless, without a
chair or garment out of place. No
mere man is going to feel very happy
in such u place. Neither Is he going to
feel happy In q home that is not kept
at all. but is always dirty and disor-
derby. Yet there is a happy medium
that some fortunate women manage to
find. A fewtcigar ashes on the floor
are not going to hurt anyone. II takes
only few seconds to sweep them up
and they are not worth getting cross
about. And few papers scattered
about are no, crime against humanity.
Better let your husband and children
be comfortable In your own home so
that they will not need to seek com
fort elsewhere.
Then there Is the matter of per-
sonal appearance. Don't, above every
thing else, greet them at night in the
same dress, only more soiled, that you
had ON In the morning, and with face
freful and tired. Most women get in
to the habit of thinking that every day
they must do just so much work re-
CARELESS of their health, and happi
ness or that of their husband and chill
dren. Don't look at it this way Stop
before you get so tired you are dead
to the world Your duty lies much
more in the direction of making your
self agreeable to your family in mind
and body than 1t does in getting the
ironing out of the way, or the house
cleaned from top to bottom. OF course
there are times we all know when some
things have to be done, but in many
homes. these are continuous, and such
home are not the happy ones.
Be a good homemaker above all
things. II you can be a good house
keeper ut the same time, well and good,
but don't let your zeal In the latter
crowd out your duty in the former.

Why Distinguished Republican Refuses to Support
Harding His Opposition the League Nations

people who can govern themselves.
There still abode good will, and the ma
tions signed the treaty because they had
faith. The nations signed except the
United States. The United States fail
ed. The Republican majority in the
Senate refused to approve. The one
time to sign the treaty was when the
other nations did and with the least
possible delay. Then faith was alive
among the peoples; now it is dead.
At this point the opponents of Cox
and Roosevelt usually interrupt. "Do
you expect the Senate Of the United
States" they ask, ito be mere rubber
stamp to do what the President tells
them to do?" No. Doesn't the Con-
stitution provide that the Senate shall
confirm every treaty before it can go
into effect?" Yes. ''Do you want the
Senate to neglect it's obligation?" Not
at all. "Then why shouldn't the Sena-
tors serutinize the treaty." They
should. Here follows usually torrent
of intense vituperation against Presi-
dent Wilson for not taking somebody"
from the Senate-With the name of
Senator Lodge usually implied-along
with him to help formulate the treaty.
1t is hard to get word in edgewise
when this flow Of talk is started, but
after all is said and the cool of the even
ing is upon us, the fact remains that if
the treaty had been signed without de
lay the League of Nations would have
had the real start that was contemplat-
ed by men of good will, and that its de
fects might well have been discovered
and remedied all the sooner. This means
also that the League would have spoken
with such authority as, very likely, to
have stopped the bloodshed that is even
yet going on; it means that great hui
manitarian undertakings would have
been bringing hope out of despair; it
means that the hundreds of thousands
of men and women and children, from
Danzig clear south to Armenia, who are
to this day rottingi of disease, who are
writhing in the black night of insanity
from suffering, would have been
brought back to health and decent liv-
ing conditions The price of this
achievement to the precious Republican
majority in the Senate would have been
political advantage to President Will
son, whereas the rule of politics is to
cripple the opposition. The political
advantage to the President is the one
price that Lodge, Knox, Penrose and
followers, including the Republican
candidate, would not pay.
1t is curious on what little issues

opinion, you grant that it is her own.
However, when she enters the home Of

many believe they can do and say
rude and "catty'' things and go I'M

ed ones. And they will say at dinner
