What WIN Elihu Root Say1

Itisunderstood that Elhu Root WAS the
.u<hor Of the stradding League OF Ma
epuoe plank M the Republican national
rAntkorm. Mr.. Root undoubtedly is the
si,scrt Republican IN the country, and he
~lurr w~s able to construct dehverAnoe
vh,ch wcuh appear both favorable or I'M
Gsvu<ablc To the League Of Nstions ieav-
sng IL TO the candidate for President to
show hls own position m respect OF TINS
Snr~,rtant srrd dominant issue, according
- his conception of the cxigencies OF the
sunpaign. In this requirement it rs con-
prsacd thst Mr.. Roots plank Is master
psece.
Bot the results have been very different
fron what Mr. Root m all probability,
Arkrsi Cor. IL n true that MIR. Harding, As
ahe candidate for President. has endeavor-
I'd N carry out the intent OF MIR. Roots
shrwd dsruen, but he has badly mishan-
died his task He has assumed several dii-
1eYent attitudes towards the League OF
sVasope, none of which rs distinct or
.xnsstsvc bat il n noticed he Is trending
xn.rc and more in the direction of open
opposition tn the entrance Of our country
hnto th~ League of Nations.
Also, Mr. Harding has divided hs Re
pnblican support, and left IT foundering IN
a most ridiculous manner. Senator John
snn Of California, a bitter enemy oil the
league Of Nations and all that 1t means,
waited in deep silence until after Mr. Hard
ing had delivered his speech of acceptance,
,when he came out uproariousiy IN support
of the candidate, because, As johnson ex-
pressed IT, Harding had 'scrapped the
League In hrs pubic declaration. Now he
has started upon a speaking campaign IN
which bs WI! urge support Of Harding on
the ground that he is an out-and-out op-
,poncnt of the League On the other hand,
ex-Pressdent Taft, ex-Attorney General
Wickersham and other prominent Re
publicans are cndesvorIng TO make 1t ap-
pear that Mr.. Harding is not opposed TO q
League Of Nations to insure the peace OF
l,he world, bot only opposed to President
Wilson's League" as they call it.
Mr.. Root returned from Europe, this
week, but on beng asked about the League
of Nations, declined TO make any declara-
,tson whstxver. And no wonder. Mr.. Root,
- a representative of our government,
took prominent part in the formstion of
ithe permanent Court of International
Justice, under the League Of Nations.
He cannot favor any impairment Of the
haguc without affecting the integrity OF
hehe great international tribunal OF which
ne Is one Of the constructors, and from
(which much is expected for the preser-
bva1ion Of World Peace. 4
No wonder Mr.. Root had nothing 10 say
about present conditions IN our country IN
respect of the League of Nations. II can
not be he is satisfied with the Republican
lpnsitson, which is becoming more and
j0se oneof open and vindictdve opposition
10 dc League. Nor is it probable he viii
be able to remain silent until after the
,nlectsuu. He rs very able man, shrewd and
lakilful In the manipulation of words for
lariuU pwposes But what viii he say
when he decides TO talk?

Senator Ball is reported by o Republican
paper as having said, in speech at Mar

WONDERLAND.

What high adventure holds a deeper lure
Than coming to possess a garden, made
By hands long since beneath the green

An old wild garden. where quaint blooms

And small, shy, sweet things. wistful and

Beneath the clutter of the borders hide
And pool and tangled copse delight divide
With hedgerows, holding privacy secure.
Eager and thrilled and reverent, one bends
To watch some strange buds slow un-

Beauty and charm and wondermcnt anew
To revelations which become part

ONLY A MARES NEST.

The Republicans now realize that they
discovered mares next in MIR. Baruch's
supposed contributions to Democratic
campaign funds An effort was made
to twist the testimony before the Senate
investigating committee into a sensa-
tional and scandalous discovery, and
our good friend, the New York Tribune,
did its best to blow it out into startling
proportions. AT last the arch villain of
the Democratic plot to corrupt the coun-
try had been discovered, and Barney
was held up in spectacular headlines as
the bad "angel" Of bad party, He
had not only financed "Uncle Sam of
Freedom Ridge" with $4,000 for the
delight of moving picture audiences, but
he had contributed more than seventy
thousand dollars to the rascally League
10 Enforce Peace
Unfortunately for Republican hopes,
Barney turns opt not to have been much
of an angel ih a political or partisan
sense. He has contributed only 5000
TO the empty Democratic Golfers. Mr..
White, chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, sadly admits that MIR.
Baruch seems more interested in nom
partisan activities than in greasing par
tIsan machinery. The League to En-
force Peace has been at work for five
years and has no connection with either
party Its officers and executive COM
mittee are made up in equal proportions

RIPPLING RHYMES.

THE GOSSIP

I burn some Joss sticks every
night, and as they burn / say, Pre-
serve me from the evil plight that
links is in this dayf' For Jinks pos
sessed the gossip's tongue, and every
spiteful tale by him was far and
farther flung, until the lie grew stale.
With him slander fowl and grim
was sure to make hit, and base
less rumor seemed to him like
proofs of holy writ. A man may /,
thus traduce his friends in safety
for time, but soon or late his
effort ends In carnivals of crime. And
Jinks passed on some vicious yarns,
as he was prone TO do, concerning
j. Adolphus Barnes, which tales
were far from true. Alas, alas, my
spirit shrinks from setting down
this line; for j. Adolphus climbed on
Jipks and skated down his spine.
This J. Adolphus is gent of mighty
bones and thews, and when he for
his victim went steel spikes were IN
his shoes. And Jinks, to spread his
gossipvain, no longer blithely trots;
he's lying on bed of pain, all tied
in sailor knots. The doctor says he's
but wreck, who once wild rumors |
chased; his arms are wound around
his neck, his legs aroundh is waist.
No neighbors seek his humble cot
to say that Barnes was wrong; and
people cry. HE merely got what
he's invited long"

A change in the present reEfstra.

cratic candidate for Congress from

Mr.. Riggles today directed a COM

members Of the Maryland state legis-
iature urging the change in the law.
He maintains that a saving of more
than $4,000 a year to the tax payers

! would be made. He said that in addi-
ton to this saving the time of men

BEST KIND OF KITCHEN TABLE
is ONE EASILY KEPT CLEAN

The workable should be plain. sub
stantial, and of such material that it
IS easy to- clean and keep in good con-
dltlon. Most kitchen tables have a
shallow drawer for small utensils,
while others have drawers, draw
boards, and bins for storing supplies.
ihey are known as pastry tables.
Where storage space is limited, the
pins will be found particularly useful.
Unfinished wooden tables REQUIRE
much scrubbing, and under constant
use become stained and unsightlv.
vanishing, or painting and enamel
ing, the lower parts, and covering the
top with a nonabsorbent, easily clean
ed material saves much labor in the
end. Sheet zinc is often used on table
tops. 1t should be brought well over
the edges and fitted and tackled care
tuily so that no water can get UNDER
meath and so that no sharp edges are
exposed. Zinc has the advantage of
being proof against hot Utensils, but
1t Is affected by both acids and aka
lies and is therefore rather hard to
keep in condition. 1t is not a suitable
material to come in contact with many
foods, household specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture say. Oilcloth is also widely used
for covering tables, but linoleum, al
though more expensive, is far more
durable, especially when fastened to
the table with waterproof cement.
Porcelain and glas stable tops are
very attractive and easy to clean, but
are relatively expensive. and must be
used carefully. Separate enameled-
ware tops in various sizes to fit over
wooden tables are on the market. Ti,.v
are very convenient and not expensive,
Handicapped tables have long been
considered especially good for pastry
making, but are now almost prohibi-
tive in price, and polished marble
slab laid on an ordinary table answers
the purpose fully as we'll.
