The League Looks In

One of the gravest charges brought by critics
against the League of Nations is that it is led by
the nose by the great powers
Those charges have been damning because often
they have been true and unanswerable
Too often France, Britain or Italy has used the
league catspaw Too often the powers have
blocked the leagues work in order to save their own
skins
Therefore the rejoicing of league friends over its
first major victory in a clash with Great Britain.
The issue was the report of the leagues mandates
commission severely criticsng British rule in Paes-
tine, scene of Arab-JeWsh riots and nassacres.
The British government had not only made
counter attack against the commissions singing re-
port but had seemed TO question the right of the
league body TO criticize power exercising a league
mandate.
If Britain had got away with such efrontery 1t
virtually would have been impossible for the league
to answer the standing charge that league mandates
only are a camouaage for exploitation of colonial
peoples by the great powers.
BY voting to accept the critical report of the
mandates commission the league council has helped
to assert the independence and dignity of the league
as responsible international institution

The Lame Duck Parade

Defeat In the primaries of five or more United
states senators and more than a score Of repre-
sentatves revives interest in the Norris lame duck
amendment which has been pending for several
years.
The congress which meets in December will in
cluoe large number of members who have been
repudiated by the voters-in many instances clearly
defined issues They will legsate for thirteen months
after they have been voted out of Office.
The evils of the system which permits this are
apparent The will of the voters is not made efec-
tive. The powers that control congress, particu-
larIy in the house, are able to manipulate votes of
the lame duck members through the bestowal of po-
litical rewards.
The Norris amendment to the Constitution would
correct this The President would take Office imme-
datey after election and newly elected members of
congress would take their seats in the session mme
datey following their election.
The senate three times has voted to submit the
proposal to the states and there is little doubt that
it quickly would be approved
But in the house the ruling oligarchy always has
sidetrscked it, because it would deprive them of one
Of the chief of keeping the lower chamber in
subsection.
1t is TO be hoped that Norris and the senate will
persist in efforts to have the change made. Public
opinion finally will force Speaker Longworth and
his associates to let the house put the question up 10
the voters.

delirium and commissions.
The physician makes his diagno-
sis not only from the history of the
case and the symptoms, but also by
obtaining specimens of the spinal
fluid and by studying its condition
and the germs that it may contain.
If meningitis is diagnosed prompt
ly, and serum treatment given with
in forty-eight hours, only about Is
per cent of the patients die. If
there is delay beyond this, 20 per
cent die.
In general throughout the country
about so per cent die. The lesson
from these statistics is clear. Be-
yond the deaths from meningitis
is the danger of secondary compli-
cations, with permanent deafness or
Gripping.
Here, then, is disease about
which much is known, indeed, al
most sufficient to wipe out the dis
ease entirely, if science could COM
mand the situation completely.
Nevertheless, cases continue to
occur, due to the fact that perfect
control is not possible, and due also
perhaps to the fact that the germs,
being living organisms, change their
natures from time to time, as does
man himself.

Parasites on Charity

For reasons which they probably don't understand
themselves many rich salve their consciences by
contributing money to community chests. They rec
ognize certain responsibility TO society by making
such contributions but hire somebody to the
responsibility for them.
Hundreds of millions of dollars contributed in
this country every year to the amazing number of
charitable organizations kept going by community
chests
AS rule the leading citizens of philanthropic i'm
pulses who administer these chest funds get no
monetary compensation for their unsefsh work. but
there vast army of salared professional charity
workers who make their living spending this money.
In Investigation of organized charity in of
biggest cities few years ago. it discovered
that out of every dollar contributed by wedisposed
citizens for charity IS cents went to salaries and adj
ministration expenses and Is cents to charity.
If the people of this country only knew the vast
extent of the army of parasites who make their liv
ing as saaried charity workers and spenders of
charity funds they would be astounded. survey of
hired charity workers and the way the money goes
would make tremendously sensational story.
Add to the millions of dollars contributed TO
charity what it costs in taxes to maintain various
national, state county and municipal institutions,
detectives, and you might have idea of how
we could insure the entire population against I'M
employment.
The biggest waste in this country is the idleness
Of citizens who want jobs and can't get them. Our
biggest job is to stabilize work and eliminate pow
erty with all its attendant evils
