failing to fall into the pit into which the league fell, President Harding is excoriated. And as for poor Senator Lodge-wow! All this, of course is the sheerest bunkum aimed to re- habilitate the discredited and disowned Will son. But it fails utterly to register with the American people. What we have is an agree ment of four powerful nations which gives us more than the league ever pretended to give us and which at the same time exempts us from the tremendous burdens which France and England quietly shifted onto our shoulders through the bamboozling of President Wilson, and which our Senate, thank heaven, refused to accept
 For example, there is nothing in this agree merlt which allows foreign nations to de- clare war and which forces us to send armies to the uttermost parts of the world to protect the integrity of nations in which we have no earthly interest. The league did all of that.
 Then there is no agreement on our part to assume mandates for flea-bitte powers like Armenia and send soldiers there to die pro- tecting it's bleak fastnesses There was such an agreement in the league,
 We do not surrender our right to maintains a tariff nor to do certain other things in our domestic life which we did under the league
 In short and in fine our agreement under the present arrangement is simply binding as to our conduct toward the powers concerned It does not bind us to protect them or any other nation and it in nowise affects our domestic life It is merely treaty in which several nations agree for ten years to respect each others rights and to cut out an unnecessary expense of armament. It is sound sense, whereas the league was a visiOnary's folly It is an agreement which guarantees us peace without needless expenditures, whereas the league forced us to go armed to the teeth and fight at the drop of the hat-and when foreign cabal dropped the hat, at that. In short it IS the difference between good business and bad business; between wisdom and folly.

THINGS WE THINK
THINGS OTHERS THINK AND WHAT WE THINK
 OF THE THINGS OTHERS THINK

Good resolutions won't take the place of bad actions Honest poverty is disgrace but neither is honest riches
 "If at first you don't succeed" it's generally better to get another job You have only one life to live, if necessary you should die living it.
 It really isn't love much good stomachs and flyers that make the world 50 round. Who remembers the old-time dude" whose collars high they touched his ears? The world contains too many who think that when
  all is lost honor, they may we'll make clean sweep of it and allow honor to go, too. Aarmsts always scared to death about how weak the future generatons are going to be- but the future generations so far have been pretty fair.

PROPAGANDA VS. PUBLIC ENLIGHTEN
 MENT

Recent announcement from the Department of Justice serve to recall attention to the large and active propanghnda organizations main tained in the United States by foreign influ- ences. They also serve to remind us how futile some of this work has been, expensive though it was to it's promoters
 In a country like ours where free speech and a free press are the most sacred of our institutions and where centralized governing power is looked upon with disfavor, foreign propaganda is relatively easy. Governmental agencies in a democracy are slow in getting into action and they proceed with caution where personal liberty is involved. For this reason the propagandsts have had almost free license in the United States-the only gov ernmental interference being directed against those who were teaching anarchy or practicng sedtion.
 With practically no restraint exerted, it is an impressive fact that the forei gn propagan- dists have made little headway in shaping pub lie opinion in America. Probably the most ex- tensive foreign publicity work undertaken here iii recent years was that i'll behalf of the League of Nations. It was the most cleverly planned and craftly conducted propaganda ever undertaken anywhere on earth-but it
 
 successful it may have seemed for a time. The votes of 16O00,OOO people against the league while only 9OO0,OOO voted for those who spon- sored it, show that not even the best organized and financed publicity can be effective if the minds of the people once get fixed upon the subject matter and they take an interest sui ficent to analyze the arguments and form their own concusiuslons.
 ,4ofi lar government such as ours is that the people, busy with the great task of making living and preparing for the tax collector will not give time enough to the study of public ques- tons. The masses of the people, are honest in their purposes, deeply patriotic and highly in telligent even among those whose school edu- cation has been far too limited. People who read or talk about public issues will form reasonably accurate judgment, and, though few may be misled by selfishly conducted pro- paganda, the majority will nearly always be found acting in accordance with general vel fare
 The intemationalists spent money freely in the effort to put over the I eague of Nations. There are other foreign influences at work in the country on other projects, particularly to influence our Merchant Marine policy and to shape our tariff laws. They will deceive some people. Unless there is activity on the part of American publicists, they may deceive many people. It is well, therefore, that there be full discussion through the press, in public gatherings, and wherever citizens meet, with view to determining where the best interests of America lie and how they can best be pro- tested and maintained. >s .-

THE DIFFERENCE

It would be amusing, were it not supremely disgusting, to read the diatribes directed against President Harding by two or three un- daunted Wilsonian papers of the country be- cause the present arms conference shows signs of really accomplishing something. Because it is doing these things which the league of nations failed to do and is at the same time

GREAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
"RESPECTr AND "PROTEC,T"

Naturally enough there will be
very full and free discussion of the
four-power agreement. or any mul-
uple-power agreement which can he
reached at the disarmament confer
ence. Some of the arguments will
be based on a clear and painstaking
analysis of the proposals some will
oe founded upon assumptions and
suspicious. some will be intensely
partisan both for and against. The
average man will probably aim TO
Keep cool head and base his judg-
nent on facts and reason.
There have already some dis.
putes apparently been started over
what Is meant by respect" when
the parties to the proposed agree
mcnt announce that they will res
pect the rights of other nations.
Some persons, like Senator Reed. for
instance, interpret respect" TO mean
protect. TO the average mind this
stretching OF the word, or rather
changing of it's meaning may seam
considerable flight of the imagina
ton, but then others besides Sena-
tor Reed may be capable of such
imaginative excursion into the realm
Of fancy.
Now what do the words Respect
me rights" of other nations, COM
nit the United States to? Nothing
but what II has always done In tho
past and should always do in the
future. This pledge then binds us to
nothing new. But how about the
other nations TO Horsepower. or
any multiple power agreement which
may be reached in the future? Has
Great Britain the great world colo
nizer in the past always respected
the rights of others? Has Japan. in
China. in Korea in Siberia, in Man
churia, always respected the rights
OF other persons? Has France in
Morocco and the South Seas always
respected the rights of othersg
The United States Is doing but
what II has always done and is
receiving pledge from other ma
tions that in the future they will do
a similar thing.
But does respect" mean pro
tect?"
When an individual respects q
mans rights to certain piece OF
property does il not mean he will
tpin this other man in a suit in
sourt TO respect that acknowledged
right against some third party that
does not respect that right? Or TO
take gun in hand and stand beside
that neighbor in maintaining has
inspected rights?
Did not Mr.. Wilson when 9nother
agreement was before the people
announce that In effect Il would
mean nothing unless there was =
special pledge OF protec;in Ga"
nature of Article X of Il aasuc
,nvenant, which specific 90 q

WILSON DIDN'T KEEP HIS WORD

10 discussing President Wilson's
appeal for party support in the con
gressional elections of 1918, Mr..
Tumulty devotes unnecessary space
10 justifying the President as quite
within his rights.
Ne we're not aware that the pro-
priety of such appeals on ordinary
occasions has ever been questioned.
All Presidents work for the success
of their party at all elections. and
the more openly they do il the bet
ter for everybody. Quite contrary
TO the intent or expectation of those
who framed the Constitution. all
our Presidents lead dual political
Hfe. AS national leaders they rep
resent the whole people In interna-
nonal affairs. As party leaders
they lead their party in domestic
affairs.
Whether a president does well to
openly and officially make interna-
tional questions party questions. the
American people must decide. Ap-
parently they resented II In the
ease or President Wilson, for la
spite of his appeal they returned a
Congress Numerically opposed to
him.
In his appeal for a Democratic
Congress as evidence of the peoples
approval OF his foreign policy, and
confidence In him as their "unem-
oarrassed spokesman at home and
abroad" the President used the fol-
lowing language:
II am your servant and will ac-
cept your judgment without cavil -
The most serious popular objec-
don to President Wilson was that
ne did not keep that promise. On
the contrary, instead of following
unbroken precedent. and sending a
Bipartisan delegation to Paris. he
ignored the vote which he had prom
ised TO respect. went personally to
Paris, and when there insisted on
endeavoring to pledge the American
people to policies which subse-
quent election showed that they alb
horred. When President Wilson
broke the promise above quoted he
committed political suicide.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

squad last year, but failed to receive
a letter. This year he tried for the
football team and although it was
his first year out, he won the atten-

in the Northwestern game he more
than made good. Gross not only ex-
