A DEAD ISSUE FOR 1924

Justice Clarke resigned from the
Supreme Court, as he explained,
in order to devote his efforts to
causes he believed in. OF those the
chief was the League Of Nations.
in whose behalf he has made adj
dresses lately in New York and
Boston. But if the plan was to
furnish in the person OF Justice
Clrake a champion Of the League
who might be nominated for the
Presidency by the Democracy in
1924, it may be said to have fallen
fiat, because of lack Of popular re-
spouse to Justice Clarke's plea.
The Democratic candidate of
1920. James NJ. Cox. has shown the
courage of his conviction or the
faith of his illusion in consistent
advocacy Of the League. But Mr..
Cox, game enough advocate and
a spry enough fighter, clearly lacks
the intellectual weight which it
was hoped Justice Clarke would
supply.
Well say Justice Clarke does not
supply Governor CoX's deficiency.
but whatever political expectancy
prefigured the League of Nations
as a winning issue for 1924 has
been knocked into a cooked hat by
the Ruhr invasion. The American
people are far from denying
France the moral right to resort
to that drastic measure, but it's UNI
dertaking has dismissed from
their minds any sympathy with the
idea which may have been engend
ering of Americas joining the
League?
The Ruhr business ends the
League, so far as America is con-
cerned, just now and for quite
| some time to come. Whether the
American mind ever can be ac-
commodated to the notion, is an
other story.
Woodrow Wilson, his idea, his
| sympathiZers, are extremely UNI
likely to dominate the Democratic
Party in next years campaign.
The break Of events seems to for
bid the League as the issue or one
Of the issues. That campaign
seems likely to be fought out over
domestic issues, such perhaps as
will be injected into it by Henry
Ford.
What the West wants, or believes
it wants, what the West resents, or
thinks it is imperiled by, is more
likely to furnish the complexion
to the 1924 struggle than is Europe
or any phase of Europe. So it
seems now. at any rate.-Minneap

So that was the explanation Of

whistled softly and then 4 sudden
question came to his mind.
"Mr. Griswold, you told me Il
while ago that Mrs-Vane was too
clever to give you an opportunity
to free yourself legally without no
toriety which you could not afford.
Surely her elopement with young
Venner provided you with evidence
enough" ~

THEY CALLED IN FUNNY

About the best that can be said
for the Christmas celebration by
students in soviet universities -
which was organized, as all anti
religious propaganda in Russia has
been. with the sanction Of the Mos
cow governing Clique is that it
was wanton insult to every decent
instinct of civilized humanity.
Here, in a moment of ardent self
revelation, the true spirit of COM
munistic Russia emerged for eX-
animation, and it was a thing of
callow and appallingly inadequate
and reckless realism.
Bawling derision of all the SYM
bols of human faith and hope is
not a new symptom Of mob pscho-
logy. The French Terror was pro-
ductive of that SORT of thing, just
as it was an Indictment to murder
and pillage and every other sort
of license imaginable to leaderless
and hysterical crowds.
To the soviet intelligentsia, and
to them alone, belongs the distinc-
ton of having organized for the
Christmas holidays an anti-religious
pageant which must have been
profoundly sickening to every ma
ture and reasonable and sensitive
mind in Russia or out of it.
Religious faith is an inherited
and indispensable thing. 1t is one
with hope. 1t comes unbidden and
it is part of existence. 1t is COM
forting when science and logic can
give no comfort 1t can do more
than anything else to make all life
a rich and serene experience and 1t
is the one influence that still tends
TO make the world a tolerable
place to live in. What the begin
nings and ends of religious mys-
teries may be wise men will not
ask or hope to discover by unaided
reasoning amid the atoms.
A great deal of vicious nonsense
has been written and promulgated
in the effort to discredit soviet doc
trine. None of the falsehoods CRU
lated by the avOwed enemies OF
Russia will be so damaging in the
long run as the simple truth about
the demonstration in the Moscow
streets. which reflected the results
OF soviet education on immature
minds In that system apparently
no recognition is accorded the hu-
man spirit. Your Communist in
tellectual puts his trust in logic
alone and hopes to save the world
by careful balancing of material
values. The soviet universities, ii
one may judge by the display or
ganized by their students, are ded-
icated to the belief that full stom-
ach and warm place in which to
sleep are and should be the ulti-
mate goals of existence. The
beasts of the field knew that much
even before Noah.
The Russia of the future will not
be a pleasant place even for Rus
SANS if brutal bad manners and
the crassest scrt Of vanity and ig-
n0rance nodded and reinforced by
intellectual processes are to be the
chief gifts Of the soviet higher
education to the youth of the land.

Sergeant Barry waited until the

and then he asked quietly: What
had Miriam Vane to do with your
wife. Mr.. Griswold ?" e .
Griswold raised his head and the
detective had the shock of his ca

and that it was genuine grief which

personal fear seemed to be wholly
forgotten in the sundering of the
hold which he had held over him

Despite the astounding revelation,
Barry did not allow his expression
to change, and his tones were suave~
ly persuasive as he suggested:
Suppose YOU tell me the whole
story, Mr.. Griswold. Our knowledge
of the truth may enable US to pre-
vent the notoriety you wish to
avoid. How long were you married
