UNDERTAKING NO GUARDIANSHIP.

France has accepted Mr.. Hardings invitation to he
represented at the Washington conference; but she
has intimated that she cannot consent to any reduc-
ton in her defensive strength unless she is guaran!
teed absolute security from her ancient foe to the
eastward. No exception can be taken to such a stand
on the part of the French, for the world knows that
Germany will attack France again at the moment
there appears to be a fair prospect of victory, and
it would be the height of folly for France not to be
prepared against that contingency.
From the American point of view there is no es-
sentlal difference between a guarantee of. French in
tegrTty against Teuton assaults and the provisions of
Article 10 of the League of Nations covenant. Not
only did the senate repudiate the covenant but it also
failed even to consider an alliance between the
United States and France, by which the former would
rush to the assistance of the latter should she be at
i'll a treaty negotiated by the former president and
presented to the senate where it still reposes in a
pigeon hole accommodating dust. Our relations toward
France are of the most cordial character, but regard
less of our friendly feelings this country cannot af-
ford to become entangled in an alliance of that kind.
II is distressing enough to sacrifice our young men and
treasure WIN our own government deems the time has
come when the nation must make war, but it is I'M
thinkable that any other country shall be given the
power to say when we shall rush to arms. By such
an arrangement as France appears to seek, Germany
could sound the death knell of thousands of Amer
lean boys and plunge the United States into further
alliance we would be compelled to go to war, regard
less of whether the action of Germany was a menace
to this country. =
Limitations of ornaments is an ideal to be sought
by every proper means. 1t is not beyond the posi-
tilities to find a practical realization in some degree.
But, much as Americans would welcome such an out
come of the Washington conference. the United
States must not assume the guardianship of those
other nations that may consent to a limitation of their
military strength. The price is too great, and the
principle is just as repugnant now as it was when It
led Republicans of the senate to denounce the league
covenant.

OUR BASIS OF ARIsrocRAcY.

An American citizen generally thinks he is lust
about as good as any other person on earth and
rather resents being classified by other standards than
his own. He places his finger on the constitution and
quotes from the declaration and asks: "Are we not
all free and equal?' You don't deny it. You can't.
But at the same time there is an unwritten classifca-
ton that is more or less accepted and the individual
has no trouble in assigning himself where he belongs.
There are bound to be superior people, ordinary peo-
pie and inferior people. The claim that we all be-
long in the superior class cannot be sustained. To
gain that distinction the Individual must rise above
sacred precincts. Brains is the chief qualification.
There is no self appointed or assumed social supe-
r1ority that is not compelled to bow to brains. Wealth,
station, whatever, or however, gained bend the knee
to brains. Brains, synonymous with knowledge, I'M
Outstanding, wisdom. The wisest man Of all times
when given his choice, desired understanding.
SO in any classification or aristocracy you may ar
make it stick in a nation of free people whose laws
place all on an equality.
II you choose, you may apportion us into upper,
middle and lower classes. There is no closed door on
the route up and none on the way down. They are
going and coming all the time. ..
In a land where arbitrary estates do not exist, we
create our own aristocracy and acknowledge it.
Wealth has tried it and failed. Wealth is not perma-
ncnt. The possessor of today is not the possessor of
tomorrow. Understanding today is understanding of
next year and years thereafter. Wisdom never
changes.
1t is the degree of it that fixes the American clas-
sihcation and it is the only standard by which Amer
leans will submit to be measured.
The great number of US will come naturally into
the middle section, but there is nothing to prevent us
from climbing out of it, and nothing to hold us from
falling back into the lower section except the develop-
ment and use We make of the Heaven-given eouip-
ment with which we start.

WHAT THE LITTLE BOY SEES.

The little boy whose big round eyes all day take
in things that he thinks about and tries to arrange into
an understandable world sees his father in the morn
ing before he goes to business and for a little while
after he comes home at night. And a writer in the
New York Post draws this further picture:
"He does not know that his father is two men
bne, the man with whom he and his mother have to
live at home; the other, one of the important men in
The big city, whose word is weighty in large affairs.
He does not even see him on the train, chatting af-
the mornings and again at night, laughing at even the
poor jokes of others and making good ones of his own.
He has not seen his father in his capacity as the life
of the party-the kind of man of whom his fellows
sing For he's a jolly good fellow
"The little boy does not know that his father comes
into the office with a nod and smile for every one
that he is adored by office boys and stenographers, ad-
mired and beloved by his business associates. He
does not see him concentrating all day long. efficient.
ly and u~nruffled, upon each momentous affafr in turn,
without haste or confusion and with never an angry
or impatient word. Neither does he see him giving
generously to all good works and enterprises, his ear
never deaf or his hand closed; the little boy does not
know his fathers reputation as a good citizen, always
depended upon to support measures for the public
welfare either in the great city or in the suburb
where they live.
What the little boy sees, day after day, is a surly
man who gets up cross, buries himself in the news
paper at breakfast with scarcely a word to any one,
good-by. And in the evening he observes coming
home only a tired business man. glum and heavy
laden with the cares of the day, presenting to the fam
lily for whose comfort and happiness presumably he
has done 1t all the general aspect of a bear with a
sore foot.
"The man does not see himself witt the little boys
eyes. If he did, perhaps he would think it strange
that he could be two men so different. But even then
he might not realize that the little boy sees only one
of him"

Imminent OF this was delayed because 4 President who
had been repudiated at the polls on terms set forth
by himself, WIS accepted by the allies as the real
spokesman of the nation, Notwithstanding the formal
notice signed By 80 Republican senators that they
would not vote to ratify q peace treaty with the
league covenant in it.
a party defeat in the congressional elections is not
necessarily a defeat for the executive. On the face
of it, such a defeat would be a rebuke to the con-
gres5 and not to the executive. But in 1918, on the
eve of an election, Mr.. Wilson issued a public address
which was published in every voting precinct in the
country. In that address he asked for the election Of
n Democratic congress as q vote of confidence in him
self and his foreign policies. He asserted that the
election of a Republican congress would be construed
abroad as n reputation of himself rs spokesman for
the nation, and promised to accept the result with
out c~avil."
On tina: issue, drawn by himself, he was defeated.
but he did not accept the result without cavil. He
did not select members of the victorious party to
spe=L fo- 'he United St..es at the peace conference.
he did not even take the advice of the victorious sena-
torial candidates. He defed the American people
and went to Europe to help negotiate a peace which
which this nation has attained a high position among
the nations of the earth. He proposed to make this
nation subject to the orders of a league in which an
other nation would have a dominant voice.
Quite naturally, and still possessing the spirit of
the forefathers, the American people refused to ae-
quiesce. They defeated the proponents of the league
by the greatest plurality ever recorded in an Amer
lean election.
This review is made for the purpose of pointing
out the only possible conclusion-that the delay in
arriving at technical peace with Germany was due
and due alone to the pure stubbornness of Mr.. Viii
son in his effort to compel the United States to sur
render, and also to the lack of judgment of the al
lied representatives in putting the league covenant in
the treaty after the very clear demonstration that
such action would be fatal to the treaty so far as this
country is concerned.
Neither the American people nor the Republican
party can be charged with the slightest responsibility
for the delay in completing the peace arrangements.

MR.. HUGHES IN CHARGE.

When the representatives of the worlds powers as
semble at Washington to discuss matters relating to
naval and military armament and questions involving
the general welfare of the peoples of the earth, the
conclave will be received by Mr.. Secretary Hughes
who will present the American idea of the scope and
direction such a conference ought to take.
The president will take no active part in the pro-
eeedings, entrusting all of the important duties arts
ing in such a diplomatic convention to the secretary
of state as the official representative of the Amer
lean people.
The United States senate as the coordinate treaty
making power under the constitution will be repre-
sented, doubtless by Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman of
the senate committee, on foreign relations and by
other delegates. While the president himself who d.
reefs our foreign policy and who presented the neces-
sity and extended the invitation to the conference will
be at hand when occasion demands his opinion.
The contrast between the methods pursued by Mr..
Harding in the present instance and those of Mr.. Will
son in a former similar world gathering are very
marked.
On the one hand they are more in accordance with
American manner and tradition, on the other they
smacked of an outworn old world aristocracy and
brought only ridicule upon US.
If actual accomplishment does not come of the
Washington conclave it will not be because we have
not lived up to our democratic traditions.

MORE COOPERATION NEEDED.

1t must be admitted that the tourist camp estab-
lished by Casper enterprise, is an excellent thing for
the city, aside from the direct benefits derived from
the expenditures among local merchants by those who
visit the city. 1t may not be generally known bat
those who receive the greatest benefits have been the
least concerned in aid to finance the great conven-
fence to visitors. The public spirit of a small group
of men who have no real personal interest at stake
is responsible for the camp which is regarded as the
best in the state.
Appeal has been made for assistance to provide
shade and otherwise beautify the surroundings but
the backwardness of coming forward is remarkable.
The spirit of 'let George do it," is not the spirit that
puts things ahead. More men should be hunting the
chamber of commerce committee up, and asking what
they can do to help a good cause.
