Pro-LeaRue Sentiment.

The quality OF Mr.. Borah's ifreeoneilsbili,y Is
not strained; !, is chemically pure, 100 per cen,
u all tunes. Wherefore, remembering this. u Is
Easy to understand the apprehension with which
the Idaho senator views any approach TO the
League OF Nations. and his perturbation over
wha, he eoneeives TO be the increase oi pro-
league sentiment throughout the country. His
charge that Secretary Hughes and Secretary
Hoover arc committed to the theory at least Is
not uniounded.
No difficulty should be experienced by any in
recalling that republicans in the senate. led by
Senator Lodge. agreed TO accept membership in
the League OF Nations. providing certain reseryz-
tons accompanied our ratification OF the treaty
This should no, be forgotten when discussing
the issue. President Wilson s,ubbornly refused
TO assent 10 any reservation. The Versailles
treaty, with its league pact, must be adopted jus,
as he presented il to the senate, or not a, all.
He persisted TO the extent OF submitting il 10
the voters, invoking the supreme power OF the
nation in great and solemn referendum" and
was overwhelmingly rejected. II Mr.. Borahs
present trouble is predieated on former Gov
ernor Cox's assumption that support is growing
tor the Wilson idea, he may be eomior,ed. for
Cox has been wrong all the time.
But j, is scarcely true that the republican
sentiment has changed materially since the treaty
was rejected. Then and now the country was
ready to accept place in the league on such
basis as would not destroy the independent con-
troll by our own people OF their own affairs. II
was against the surrender OF American interests
TO super-government that Americans objected.
II we are not actively participating in the Genoa
conference, it is because we recognize the right
OF Europeans to deal with European affairs with
out interference. Japan. with delegates seated at
Genoa, declines to head any important commit
tees for the same reason that the United States
gave ior not attending. In this, if in anything.
both the United States and Japan are consistent.
Wilsonites must look for a new approach.

to America.
'Tis none other than Lady Astor, first woman
member of parliament. She will speak before
the Baltimore convention of the League of
Women Voters, look in at her girlhood home in
Virginia, and journey as far west as Chicago
Those who professed disappointment that
Mrs. Asquth bore no message will have to find
some other grounds of criticism for this guest.
She announces that she will inform the women
voters that they, assisted by their British sisters,
cousins and aunts, with their common concep-
tons of citizenship and morality, could achieve
any reforms that they set out to accomplish.
Implicit faith in the enduring friendship between
England and America, and the doctrine of toler-.
ance will furnish other topics for her speeches
Announcement is made that she will defend
Great Britain against any unwarranted criticism
she might hear during her travels
This is message, or a number of messages,
although there does not seem to be much that is
fresh. However, people like to hear over and
over again the good old platitudes, easily under
stood and without any chance for clash of
opinion. Lady Astor is welcome, but more as
curiosity than as leader of thought or an ex-
ponent of feminsm

Kentucky's Woman Sheriff.

Those Kentucky voters showed their gallantry
and sympathy in electing the young widow Of
their slain sheriff to succeed him. 1t would fit in
well in movie story. But as practical matter
electins a woman with small baby to such an
once as that OF sheriff is open to question. Pub
lie Office is something else besides public honor
The Office holder is supposed to render service
as well as draw the pay and wear the laureIs
The election or appointment of persons not
adapted for the service is an imposition on the
taxpayers. But the primary system is bringing
to light the misconception many people have of
the purpose of a public Office through the cleo
ton of persons without qualifications for the
service desired. Before it can ever be success
there will have to be wider popular education

Tanning the Missouri.

Possibility OF retaining the Missouri river
ior navigation apparently is brought much
nearer by the development OF the system of re-
,ards by which the channel about Omaha has
been Strengthened This work thus far has been
devoted to the end OF preventing the ravage of
valuable land by the erratic current of the stream
However, the fact has been demonstrated that
the course Of the river can be so directed that it
will scour deep channel.
Is it not reasonable to believe that what has
been done on this stretch of the Missouri can be
done clear past Kansas City and down to St.
Louis? Army engineers, with methods largely
antiquated, have struggled for years with this
problem, and the federal government has poured
millions into snagboat and revetment work.
Their failure has come from trying to do all
the work themselves instead of letting the river
do it under human guidance
Sandbars can be cut away by steering the
swift current of the Missouri against them more
quickly than they can be removed BY the most
powerful dredges. The Bignall concrete piles of
the Woods Brothers Construction company, sunk
by hydraulic power clear to bedrock instead of
beng driven in to less depth by blows, have
demonstrated the efficacy of this new method.
Elsewhere in this country this system of re-
tards is attracting great interest. The mayor of
Atlantic City, together with the owner of great
hotel there that is raenaced by the cutting In of
the ocean, have Just returned home after inspect
ing this Nebraska and Iowa project. Here. in
all truth, is something for the whole Missouri
valley, which is badly in need of cheaper
transportation to think about.
