OhiIlO otolcS-
"O many people the formation of
the League of Nations appeared
the elimination Of American
Il efforts in favor of world peace.
It was a permanent, organized
body to keep the peace. There is no
doubt that the covenant was adopted at
Versailles because of the determination
and the driving power Of President Will
son. Gen. Smuts of South Africa may
have had more to do with the drafting
of the instrument; his ideas as to what
it should contain may have been more
practical, but it would never have been
Incorporated in the peace treaties with
out the enthusiasm and the 1nsistence
of the American President.
The Covenant of the League of Ma
tions, like all international instruments,
was the result of compromises. The
representatives of the other nations
assembled at Versailles looked at the
idea with many misgivings; they adopt
ed it because they had to. but deter
mined to make it serve their own self
ish purposes as far as possible. To
France for example. its main value ap-
peared to be to insure the performance
OF the various articles Of the peace
treaty. None of the delegates except
Wilson and Smuts considered the
League as purely altruistic, as truly
non-partisan organization created for
the purpose of bringing the nations of
the world together in better under
standing for the maintenance of peace.
There was real enthusiasm, of course,
on the part of the newly created ma
tions, but this was not altruiSm; 1t was
selfshness, since the League. through
Article x, guaranteed their frontiers.
U.,o,,a Natural SenueI
In America the idea OF a League was
popular enough. 1t appealed to those
who for some time had preached in
favor of a league to enforce peace,
solid citizens who were determined to

dictum that the great war was a war to
end war, that the League OF Nations
was natural sequel to the fighting

The more thinking proponents OF
league to enforce peace were somewhat
disillusioned by the reality as proposed.
but generally accepted it as better than
nothing, as at least a step in the right
direction, which could be revised and
great mass of people who thought at
all were inclined to be critical. Wilson
had lost his leadership at home when
he gained the leadership of Europe.
When he returned to America his argu-
ments sounded hollow, like pious plati-
tudes when placed against the iniquities
of the treaty which he had helped to
negotiate. Political passions were
aroused. The League was used as
means of attack on the President.
Those who say, however, that it was
politics which kept the United States
out of the League are exaggerating to
falsehood.

where We were 20 years ago.
But If we take a fairer standard Of
comparison. gauging the more recent
trend in actual quantities. rather than
in wavering currency values. we come
upon some more encouraging figures.
During the first half Of this year. as
compared with the last half of 1882,
there was an increase of 100 per cent
in the number of automobiles exported,
a 20 per cent increase in trucks. 48
per cent increase in electric household
refrigerators, 81 per cent increase in
typewriters and so on.

Praise for WOOdin

Observers at Washington do not
expect that Mr.. Woodin will return
to active duty as head of the treas
ury department. Meanwhile, it is
worth while to call attention to the
very real service that Mr.. Woodin
rendered his country.
The first days of the present ad-
ministration were extremely dark.
The banks had closed, most Of us
were running around in circles trying
to figure out what was coming next,
and the prophets Of despair were pro-
claiming that the whole business was
about to come down about our ears.
But down at Washington there was
a smiling. graceful little man who
drifted back and forth between the
treasury department and the white
house as If the sky were blue and
cloudless.
Whatever else Mr.. Woodin did, he
at least helped to quiet our fears. It
was impossible to look at his cheer
full, elfin figure without feeling that
maybe things weren't as bad as We
thought.
Mr.. Woodin did a very valuable
bit OF work In those dark days Of last
March. Let it be remembered to his
credit now.

WHEN MY GORGE RISES
I BECOME CHOLERIC

The hallmark of a gentleman in
Robert Louis Stevenson's era was the
way he took a slap with smile and
kick in the pants with gentle ex-
postulation. His gorge rose only when
another gentleman questioned the
regularity of his origin.
This rising of ones gorge is an in
teresting application OF principle Of
physiology. The arrest of peristalsis.
Haven't time now to stop and tell you
what peristalsis Is. But when your
peristalsis is right the worlds a grand
place to live. You can learn all about
it by reading Prof. Walter Cannon's
Bodily Changes III Pain, Hunger.
Fear and Rage" Cannon first mo-
ticed, when he was watching the
digestive process with the X-ray, that
anger Immediately stopped all move
nlent in the stomach or intestine.
Fright, alarm or fear has the same
effect.
Sometimes the pcristalsis is not
only stopped, but it is reversed. No
wonder you feel lump in the throat.
That's your gorge rising.
The same unpleasant emotions that;
arrest peristalsis tend to prevent the
normal or natural election Of bile
from the gall-bladder into the duode-
mum. It is quite conceivable that an
individual who is subject to anger or
much annoyance is more likely to.
become jaundiced than is one who
has a cheerful or uneXcitable dis
position.
Choler means bile. Melancholia
meant black or dark bile long ago.
Asiatic cholera was formerly thought
due to some fault of the bile. The
familiar old name for acute CASTRO
enteritis in hot Weather-cholera
morbus-has similar connotation.
or course we know now that 1t Is
neither green apples nor just the
heat, but infection or poisoning,
usually from food that has not been
kept properly refrigerated and free
from contamination.
Recently my gorge has been rising
a good deal and think have been
choleric a bit too often. One thing
that has had this effect on me is the
gratuitous association of my name
not a physician at all but neverthe-
not a physician at al lbut neverthc-
less gets away with the title, thanks
to the presumption Of his exploiters
and the credulity Of many laymen.
Gosh, how my gorge comes bouncing
up when some wretch quotes what
this fake Doctor" says and asks me
to explain my own teaching which
seems at variance.
But why should I wear out my
arteries In such bootless passion? If
the wiseacre public likes to be hum
plugged that way, let 'en1 60 as far
as they like with the trick doctor
and his oh, so plausible teachings

that this election was held at all in
dicates that not even Hitler cares to
proceed without at leasI going through
the form of finding out how his peo-
pie feel about things.
Nobody needs to be told that demo-
cracy has hit some pretty big bumps
since the war. In one country after
another-in Russia, in Italy, in Ger
many. and MISUNDERSTANDING
has come into style.
Both the ultra radical and the
ultra conservative have grown dis
truStful OF democracy. It has be-
come fashionable to say that popular
government Is an out-of-date idea.
And in all this We in America have
peculiar interest. Not only do we
ourselves live in one of the surviving
democracies; democracy itself is, to
all intents and purposes, our inven-
ton. We set up the first great demo-
crazy; we forced the world to exam
Inc the idea; we were at the bottom
Of the whole movement toward equal
and political liberty.
So today We cannot be indifferent
to the steady trend away from demo-
cracy which the world is exhibiting;
nor can We fail to find something
interesting in these ridicul-
Gus referenda which dictators like
Hitler feel it necessary to hold every
50 often.
For such votes, absurd as they may
be, nevertheless point to the solidity
Of democracys basic idea-that there
can be no secure government which
does not operate with the consent Of
those it governs.
There can be no unalloyed auto
cracy any more. Even Hitler must
60 through the motions Of seeing
what is on the voters minds.
And that, dark as democracys
prospects may seem, is highly i'm
portant. The idea which Is demo-
cracy's foundation stone has been ac-
cepted even by the enemies OF demo-
cracy.
II we in America continue to keep
the light OF political liberty burning
clearly, democracy yet will regain the
ground it has lost.

Lime Water

water. Is it safe to use lime from

Answer-Yes, ordinary lime from
the hardware store or building sup
ply store is the right kind. Put a
piece of unslaked lime the size of q
walnut in an earthen jar or crock
with two quarts Of water, stir up,
and let settle. Pour off the upper

tablespoonful or two Of lime water

Why Do We Have a
Government?

(Murphysboro, ILL.,, Daily independently
Our government was formed Tin
order to form more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general welfare,
and insure the blessings of liberty"
Motel wasn't formed to promote
individual welfare.
More than year ago the Column
wrote and submitted a platform for
both political parties on the subject
OF prohibition. The Republicans
scorned 1t, but the Democrats adopted
It exactly as written. Maybe they
never heard Of the Column, but they
adopted its platform nevertheless,
and look what happened.
One of these days VIC are going to
write another platform for political
parties. 1t will read something as
follows: Government Of the people,
by the people, for the people is for
the sole purpose Of establishing JUS
tice, insuring domestic tranquility,
providing for the common defense,
promoting the general welfare, and
insuring liberty, and the best govern
ment is the least government. All
laws incompatible with that program
Will be repealed and all taxes to sup
port such activities revoked. The
government will utterly cease being a
Don Quixote in international affairs,
a Santa Claus to foreign governments,
q nurse to its own citizens, and a
silly old busybody in attempts to
regulate morals of every one"
When we get that platform thought
out and properly worked out, we
Will give both political parties a
chance to adopt it. Right now it
looks as if something like that would
be the one big issue in the next po-
litical campaign. Write down the
date of this prophecy. Oct. 80, 1888.
Within the next two years we ex-
pect the churches to see that they
commit hari-kart when they turn the
job Of making decent citizens ove4
TO the government: the business men
and labor to see that government
regulation Is the death Of all private
initiative, and every one to see that
the power to tax Is the power to
destroy, and that when you brush the
reetn OF q free and independent citi-
zen he soon loses the power and de-
sire to brush them himself.
That should result IN unanimous
support Of the Columns startling
suggestion that We have q constttu-
ttonal government IN America.
