THE LEAGUE PROTOCOL

The Jingoists seem determined to
get this country into war with Japan.
Whether a recent attempt of Japan
to urge race equality by the League
of Nations as major issue is to be
finally passed upon in negative man.
fort making among certain newspa-
pers in this country to prove that
Japan really wants to force matters
with the United States. If the emf
grafton of Japanese into this country
is worrying Japan, it is not worrying
America. The matter has been set
tied by the bill passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress known as the Exclu-
sion Act And whilst this act was
really not necessary, and was looked
upon as an affront by an element of
Japanese population, it was, neverthe-
to swallow, and merely look at her
own exclusion of Chinese from her
own borders. But this is not what
,bothers these home agitators over
Japan's so-called assertion of her
rights at the League sessions. The
League has settled the race equality
matter to the evident satisfaction of
Japan, but fears continue to be ex-
pressed that Japan wants to vaunt
her Independence and hold America
in contempt. How foolish all these
things are. Japan no more wants
war with this country than she wants
to drink dry the Pacific Ocean. What
would she do without American trade
and influence? How would she mar
ket her silks, her herbs, her fine art
works, and her thousand and one
other things she continues to sell in
the American market that she cannot
sell elsewhere? Japanese business
men have profited more through
American methods than through all
other influences combined. She has
learned more how to handle herself
and her products by watching Ameri
can methods that she would have de
veloped through her own processes
in 1000 years. Why, then, should she
wish to be az war with her best
friends and her patrons? 1t is
neither logical lfor common sense.
What a lot of argument has been
caused by this League protocol. A
protocol is summary of treaty, in
this case intended for worldwide
preservation of peace between all
nations.

LOVES EXTREMES

A Michigan farmer pretended to be
insane, so he could join his wife, who
already had been committed to the
asylum. He'd have won his wish if
the judge had not noticed a CLEAN of
joy in his eyes when the farmer s
commitment papers had been made
out.
Love in extreme cases resembles
the law of gravity or the force that
pulls needle to a magnet 1t is one
of the very few psychic or spiritual
forces that exist in all people.
Maybe some heartless scientist OF
the future will learn how to neutralize
love-enable its victims to forget its
lure-as we now can demagnetize
metal.
However, the Michigan farmer act,

other people when they're in love.

wrests control from them. No one is
entirely sane when in love.

ments are made with the hope that
they will be taken for granted in
stead of with a grain of salt There
has never been time when the peo-
pie at large were thinking more
closely about the political situation
This is fact.
When the new Republican chairman
Mr.. Butler, came into the limelight
he took up the situation as he sup
posed he found it and accented it by
broadcasting every form of claim that
Coolidge would sweep the country
that he had the election hands down.
But of late the best of the Republican
newspapers are calling Mr.. Butler
down good and hard for his head
strong claims. They tell him that if
Coolidge is to have such certain
victory, it will be better for the party
to turn to other more profitable issues
on which to capitalize party advan-
tage. What the ambitious Butler has
been doing was the perfectly natural
thing. Well, then what is the matter?
Just this:
The party management has not
given the people credit for having
enough sense to think for themselves
In this campaign they are thinking as
they have never done before hence
the LaFollette entry. The truth is
dawning that nobody has cinch in
this election. 1t is a real, honest-to-
goodness fight. There is no such
contest of record in this country. The
Coolidge landslide was purely an arti-
fetal creation. Buffers optimism was
poorly emphasized and it is now seen
clearly. The absolute fact is that
both the old parties are anxious to
the last degree, but none more so than
the Republicans. Mr.. Coolidge real.

sitting pretty at Washington, mum to
dumbness-pretty good policies at
that. at which he is somewhat of a
patron.

election. Mr.. Davis is compelled to

passed and the new covenanters al
Geneva propose to make war illegal
no matter when. For the first time
in human history the Governments OF
the world are seriously proposing to
treat war not as a normal institution
but as a crime That is the historic
moral and legal decision reached by
this great Fifth Assembly of the
League of Nations.
The proposal to declare war a crime
is turned from a pious resolution into
a practical matter by the success of
the committee in defining and show
ing how to locate the criminal. The
criminal nation is the nation which
refuses to submit it's case either to
the world court, or to the Council of
the League, or to some other body for
the arbitration or conciliation of dis
putes. In short, the nation is the ag-
gressor which at any stage of a dis
pute, before, during or after arbitra-
tion, uses force. A nation cannot re-
fuse to arbitrate and fight. 1t cannot

Whenever it resorts to force, the
League will declare it an aggressor
The way of the declared aggressor
is apparently made so hard that no
nation could afford to face the penal
ties, though precisely what these
penalties are cannot be said until the
text of the protocol is at hand. 1t is
here that each nation will rightly
scrutinize the document with great
care.
But in examining it, each people
will know that it has before it the
most ambitious, the most courageous
and the most nobly inspired specific
plan of peace ever laid before man

WAR AS A CRIME

Yesterday the cause of peace made
considerable advance. The new pro-
tocol of arbitration and security was
ed in the Assembly of the League of
Nations. This protocol, which will
become a treaty if it is ratified by the
Governments, is designed to make ma
tions so secure against war that they
will feel safe in reducing their arma-
ments. According to a report. France,
the nation in all the world which has
the best reason for not fooling itself,
has through M. BRAND approved the
agreement. We are dealing, there
fore, with something substantial and
important.
The Fifth Assembly has dared to
propose what Woodrow Wilson and
the founders of the League wanted
to do but dared not. 1t proposes to
make all war crime and to unite the
whole world against the perpetrator
of the crime. 1t is a remarkable
thing that five years of experience in
the League should have brought to
Europe, South America and the Far
East not disillusionment and not cyni-
cism but greater boldness than
statesmen have ever before exhibited
in the cause of peace.
The old covenant was devised so as
to delay the outbreak of war on the
theory that if war can be post
poned it may never be fought. The
covenanters at Paris in 1919 left it
perfectly legal for nation to go to
war in the end. Five years have

GLARING HEADLIGHTS

If 1t is within the statutory au-
thority of the State Highway Commits
sion-and if it isn't it ought to be-
a state wide regulation governing au-
tomobiles headlights ought to be en-
acted then rigidly enforced by local
authorities.
Any automobilist endowed with or
dinary common sense should know
the kind of headlights that ought to
be used on his car, but many con-
tinue to use binding lights. and as a
result, other motorists are made to
suffer, and accidents frequently result.
There is nothing more trying than
to meet along one of the country
roads at night, an automobile whose
light streams into ones face with
binding effect. 1t is not only annoy
ing, but it is exceedingly dangerous.
The one at the wheel cannot see to
guide his own car, He might easily
steer into the approaching car, or into
the ditch. The danger is heightened
in those cases where the road is mar
row and where the offending car is
approaching at high rate of speed.
1t is marvel that more accidents do
not occur from such a cause.
1t is a simple matter to carry out
the regulations in regard to headlights,
in states where rules and regulations
heve been enacted. The requirement
is that they be placed no higher than
AZ inches above the ground, and that
they be adjusted so that the light
strikes the ground at AZ feet from
the car.
Such regulations can be observed
by all. 1t is well-nigh criminal to
neglect them.
