An Appropriate Suggestion
THERE has been a great deal Of
agitation for the appointment

THERE has been a great deal of
agitation for the appointment
Of woman as one of the
American delegates to the Disarma-
ment Conference.
There is no reason in the world
why a, woman should not be APP
pointed. A worthy woman in such
an. office would be a great help.
The questions of disarmament and
Of peace are rather simple questions.
There is very little intrigue in them,
and women on these questions are
most qualified to sense by instinct
the simple fundamental truths in
which sentiment and humanity are
the largest factors.
1t has been intimated that the
Presidents hesitancy to appoint
woman has been fear lest the visit
ing delegates might thereby be dis
pleased.
We cannot see why they should.
Their women are as much interested
in the promotion of peace and in
the saving Of the lives they bear as
our women are.
Maybe they need lesson.

Why Truth
Can Wait


two political parties, Bolshe-
= visits and anti Bolshevists, was
statement made by Lord Derby in
a speech at the annual meeting Of
Lincolnshire Unionists.
The same declaration might be
made concerning any other country.
For, at bottom, Bolshevism is
nothing but political Impotence.
All movements that include vio-
lence are simply idealism plus petu-
lance.
For the world, or the people of
any land, cannot be divided into the
two classes, bad and good. There
is no bad class. There are bad in
dividuals. But badness is so utterly
non-cohesive that for q lot of bad
folk to stick together they have to
borrow some good So even the
worst company of rascals talk fine
phrases.
All men are fair. All want to do
what is right. All are anxious that
society and the State shall function
in Justice. To believe this is to be
a democrat. Not to believe it is to
be an autocrat, and to be bitten by
some sort of superiority microbe.
But all men are not wise.
Perhaps a better way to put it is,
all men are not grown up.
In fact there are comparatively
few adult-minded persons in any
community.
Most Of us are childish.
And childish in nothing more than
in our political ideas.
That is, we expect to make" re-
suits in a minute that can only
grow with years.
Or we expect to gain an end by
some magic, or fairy wand, or mir
acle, that can be gained only by
slow toll, enduring faith and firm
set will. ..
Hence impotence. Hence revolu-
tionists, direct action, assassina-
tons, desperation, bitterness, vio-
lence. 'e~ .- ....
These are not bad people, the /.

archists and the like. I'D. 49,
Listen to them talk. Eliminate
the envy, ferceness and SLAYER from

What ails them is-impatience.
