parties, and victory at the polls this
year will go to the party that stands
tor the immediate ratification Of the
treaty. with or without reservations.
The country is weary of the endless
discussions in Congress and wants
peace, and is chagrined over the fact
hat an Americana treaty has
been accepted by every nation except
olr own, and we find America ex-
e'uded from the league Of nations
which America has created. And al
though President Wilson, because OF
his stubbornness, is just as much to
blame as is Senator Lodge, still, to the
popular mind. the Republican party is
likely to be held responsible for the
defeat of the treaty.
The Republican Congress should
remedy the wrong done by Immediately
Tatifying the treaty.
Then the Republican party should
stand for America first, last and al
ways. 1t should stand for the Ameri-
canization of America by teaching and
practicing the pure and undefled
Americanism Of Washington, Lincoln

Sir: The American people have
too little respect for law. The child
IN the nursery disobeys its mother
without fear of punishment, for many
American parents spare the rod. In
school the boy is constant source
of trouble to his teacher, for most
schools forbid the thing he needs

paints the town red" When he
gets out into life itself he pays no
attention to such signs as 'sNo smok-

1t is this fault Of the average cit
izen, relatively small in itself, which
leads to more serious troubles on the
part of few. Evasion of the draft

ings all have their origin in this spir-
it. Perhaps it is observation Of this
tendency that embpldens aliens to
incite to violence and anarchy.
Such spirit on the part Of our
people needs correction. We can be
law-abiding without sacrificing de-
