NORMANDY,

President-elect Harding declared in
his campaign speeches that he stood
for normally.
Now what kind Of normally does
our soon-to-be chief executive stand
for?
Is it the normalcy Of 1912, when
prices were about one-half what they
were when our last presidential cam
paign commenced. or is it the normalcy
al Mark Hanna times when prices
were not one-fourth what they were
six months ago?
Until the country knows the kind
OF normally we are going to have,
merchants will not care to buy any
thing that they can possibly do with
out, and business conditions will be
quite the reverse of normal.

lengthy for reproduction by us in its
entirety. The following is the con.
Guiding portion:
The reason why it is so important
to understand this matter here in the
United States is limited at in one
statement by the Times: "We have
from the beginning insisted that the
Irish problem is essentially British
concern, but we have never been
blind to the endorsements which
the activity Of millions Of Irishmen
In the dominions, in the United States,
and In other parts Of the. world may,
If their hostility be aggravated, even
tually entail for Great Britain.
What is here suggested may as
we'll be plainly stated, in the baldest
terms. This Irish situation goes to
the very heart OF the whole scheme
to reunite the world, for the coming
together of the English, speaking
peoples is made absolutely impos-
sible SO long as men Of Irish blood
are stirred as they are today. AS
surely as this situation lasts SO sure
" will the British empire disinte-
CRATE, for sooner or later in every
dominion Irish unrest will get its
opportunity.
Coming back to the matter OF the
reprisals at Trallee, and to the gov
eminent attempt to suppress the
newspaper correspondent Of the Daily
News, let us read In conclusion this
appeal for an open book from the
Times. Speaking again editorially
the Times says:
Impartial inquiry has been
fatty refused, Yet 1t is essential
that the facts should be known.
The truth may be unpalatable; but
nothing save knowledge OF the
truth can enable the English pub
lie to form a just and sure judg-
ment upon British policy in Ire
land. Therefore we hold it inn
peratiye that the independent
press of this country should
leave no room for misunderstand-
ing Of the view it takes and must
take of any attempt an the part
Of the forces Of the crown in Ire
land to prevent newspaper cor
respondents from doing their
duty"
The mere fact that the government
is trying to suppress the news from
Ireland ought to be enough for any
American"

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Yesterday President Wilson's an
nual message was read in both houses
of Congress. 1t was replete with in
spring thoughts and admirable rec
concentrations. Here are few OF
the first sentences OF the message:
When / addressed myself to per-
forming the duty laid upon the presi-
dent by the constitution to present
to you an annual report on the state
Of the union, / found my thought
: dominated by an immortal sentence
Of Abraham Lincoln's.
Let us have faith that right makes
might, and in that faith let us dare
to do our duty as we understand it, -"
a sentence immortal because it em-
bodies in a form Of utter simplicity
and purity the essential faith Of the
nation, the faith in which it was con-
ceived and the faith in which it
has grown to glory and power. With
That faith and the birth Of a nation
founded upon, it came the hope into the
world that a new order would pre-
vail throughout the. affairs Of man
kind, an order In which reason and
right would take precedence of cove
tousness and force, and ] believe that
! express the wish and pur-
pose Of every thoughtful American
when I say that this sentence marks
for us in the plainest manner the part
we should play alike in the arrange
ment Of our domestic affairs and in
our exercise of influence upon the at
fairs Of the world. BY this faith, and
by this faith alone, can the world be
lifted out Of its present confusion and
despair.

WILSON UPHELD BY THE LEAGUE

(FrOm the New York WOrld)
The case of the Republican Senators
versus President Wilson has been de-
cided by the court Of last resort in
favor OF the President. His inter-
probation of Article x. has been &C
cepted at Geneva. The Lodge-John-
son-Harding Interpretation has been
rejected.
Article X. is, not a military alliance,
as the American opponents of the
League have SO stridently maintained.
It does not enable ian alien Council"
to send our troops into war, as Mr..
Harding has SO foolishly said. 1t does
not mean any Of the things that the
enemies Of the covenant claim that it
means.
The issue has been definitely deter
mined at Geneva By the subcommittee
of the Commission of Five, which says
IN it's report that
It cannot be too emphatically
stated that Article X. does not
guarantee the territorial Integrity
Of any member Of the League. All
It does is to condemn external
aggression Of the territorial integ-
rity and political independence Of
any member OF the League, and
calls upon the Council to consider
what can be done to resist such
aggression.
This Interpretation is in harmon
with the language OF Article x. an
with the construction that the support
ers of the League everywhere hav
given to It. BY way of furthe
emphasizing this construction the As
sembly has accepted Denmark's Ell
PLANTATION that no Danish troops ca
be sent to help supervise the plebis
cite at Wilma except by vote of tn
Danish Parliament. This again cor
firms everything that President Wi
son has said in regard to the lega
obligations incurred under Article x

As long as he kept his eyes on that he had no trouble But if he forgot and allowed his eyes to wander the white spot would disappear and he would be lost and frightened. To d baby Rabbit even the dear old Briar- patch was big and fearsome place to be lost in in the dark. So it seldom happened to any of them more than once.
 Sometimes she would take all six Then it was great fun. The first would watch Mrs Peters tail, the next one would watch the tail of the first one and so on. Mrs. Peter would try to fool them by making sudden turns

Lessons In Play
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
To learn there is no better way Than making it part of play.

Every one who would liveto grow up and go out into the Great World must learn great many things. Whoever refuses 10 learn will not live Iong. or if he does manage to live will get few of the good things of life. The more one knows the better fitted he be- comes to get the best from life and 10 make place for himself in the Great World
 But little folks don't always under stand this and often would much rather play than try to learn things How about you? Don't you find if so2 But much may be learned in play. and lessons in play are the easiest 10 re- member Peter Rabbit and Mrs Peter know this. They were taught many things in just this way when they were little. So, just as soon as their six babies were big enough to run about and kick up their funny little heels Mrs. Peter began teaching them many important things for young Rabbits to know. All the time those six lively youngsters thought they were just playing.
 Those lesson games were tho same games with which Peter and Mrs. Peter had taught their first family of four to fit themselves to go out into the Great World and make homes for themselves. The first was called Fol- lowing Mammy's Tail Sometimes Mrs Peter would play it with just one You know, her tail is white, just like Pe- ters. This game was played when the Black Shadows had wrapped the dear Old Briar-patch in darkness. She would start out with one of her babies at her heels telling him to keep his eyes on her tail and never take them off Then she would lead him about Hutchenson of Langston was elected vice president and Charles A.
