1T STILL LIVES

In, his brief address last Sunday
Mr.. Wilson, speaking for the first time
since he was stricken in September
1920, said; "There can be no doubt al
to the vitality of the League of Ma
tions. 1t will take care of ITSELF
This, as our, readers know, is the po-
sition we have steadily maintained
The league has not been much in the
public eye of late, because the policy
of our government has. been to ignore
it, because it's activities have been ex-
terror to our interest. and because the
economic settlements of EuroDe. that
are uppermost in the public mind, are
now outside Of it's province. But none
the less it is living, and it is taking
care of itself.
In the meantime, circumstances are
quietly working for it. The partisan
passion which wholly distorted the is
sue in 1920 and made it impossible
for the great majority to see clearly,
has passed away There being no
longer partisan need for pointing to
its horns and its spiked tail, these
symbols Of iniquity have disappeared,
and the fact that, after all, it is a
kindly and well-intentioned beast is
being more generally recognized.
There is, too, a growing suspicion
that mistake was made in its rejec4
ton. We are, as a people, beginning
to realize that our interests are mex
tricably associated with those of Eu-
rope, and that, whether we like it or

RIDICULING PROHIBITION

Evidence abounds on all sides that
the American people have been made
the victims of countrywide system
Of propaganda in favor of the out
lawed liquor traffic. This propagan-
da has taken the form of ridiculinp
the Constitution and the laws of the
United States.
We are an easy-going people and es-
pecially susceptible to the species of
humor which consists of exaggeration.
Our risibiiities are stirred especially
by the newspaper cartoon, or the the
atre and film joke, or the sly allusion
which in some sort demonstrates how
well we have gotten rid of the bump
OF reverence. In essence, there is
much wholesome common sense in the
democratic instinct which is not de-
tered by ancient tradition or conven-
ton from laughing at pretense or stu
pidity in high places. Not, even a SEN
ator is safe from the shafts Of our sa-
tire or caricature.
But the sort of "humor" exploited
by the "wet" propagandists Just now
is not American. There is nothing
spontaneous or good humored about it.
Its artificiality and premeditation are
obvious and give it false and hollow
ring. There is something sordid in
its mockery--a suggestion of the
laughing Jackass or the hyena. And
that SORT ofla campaign is very likely
to, overshoot the mark and prove d
boomerang. In the oft-related story
OF Congressman Tim Murphy's telling
President Cleveland that "a little thing
like the Constitution should not stand
betwixt friends" it is Tins notion wt
laugh at, not the Constitution.
The present propaganda of ridicufe
is based on a fundamental misconcep-
ton Of American mentality. It is as

HARDING HARD TIMES ASSN

kissed a few months ago.
Recently small bank in the Sun

whether prohibition can be made
to work." says Bishop Lawrence, Of
Massachusetts,, "depends largely on
the support of public sentiment" The
good bishop may rest assured that,
the American people being sound at
the core, stand ready to listen to the
appeal from Philip drunk to Philip
sober. A reaction toward stern real
ity is already apparent in refusal TO
see any cause for mirthfulness in
wholesale murder or in the deliberate
attempt of an alien element to bring
our laws and our nation into contempt.

17-year-old youth in Ann Arbor, Mich

several companions the evening be-
fore to celebrate the coming in of the
New Year. They indulged in "moon-
shine" whiskey and when they re-
turned. this boy told his companions
to let him "sleep it off in the carr. as
he did not want his parents to see him
intoxicated. An autopsy showed
that he had drunk more than pint
of poisonous decoction called "whis-
ky" and containing a high percentage
of wood alcohol. The man who sup
piled the poison is held on charge Of
manslaughter; but his punishment will
not restore the young and promising
life nor lift the gloom and grief cast
by the tragedy on the home of his fa-

neighborhood. This is not funny

BIRDS AS YOUR

Farmers, more than any other ele-
ment of the population, will be inter-
ested in the establishment and mainte-
nance of effective bird refugees, for
the welfare of crops and the CONNER
cial success of the farm are intimately
related to the numbers and kinds of
birds present and to their economic
tendencies.
The value of birds lies chiefly in
their destruction of injurious insects.
Leading an active life, they require
much food, and are the most ravenous
enemies Of pests of this kind. The va
rious groups Of birds differ so much
in habits that they feed upon practic-
I.ally all groups Of insects; hardly an
agricultural pest escapes their attacks,
