Then any way the guilty) flee when no man pursues. : It looks to a rank outsider as the first card to force the emergency clause. The fact that Governor Frazier went before the senate Monday would indicate that the polit- ical intrigue failed to have the desired effect upon the unruly members of the league who see trouble with a capital “T” staring them in the face, if ‘the program goes through as originally drawn by Mr. Mills. : It is too early to guage the intent or the effect of Mr. 'Frazier’s eleventh hour promise to the senate. bof The political workings of the nonpartisan mind are strange and at times even “unfathomable.” But even the “kept press”.can venture a guess. One is that the farmer has’been going beyond the Townley press for his information and is reading both sides of the issues and that he has sent word to his representatives to put on the brakes. Again the whole affair may be only another act in the political melodrama to force the recalci- trant league members into attaching the emer- gency clause. It has been rumored that a number of leaguers have refused to vote for the emergency unless a reasonable promise is given that the program will be referended upon a sufficient showing of oppo- ;. sition from their.constituents. “AMERICA, FI OUGHT TO BE IN OUR _.

"But ‘there is ‘no materials, °° + : Bal Our War Tidde Board says 'the reasotis for this |' action are not hard'to understand. Of course not. The British government wishes to resume peace- time industries so as to’set manufacturing plants to work on peacetime materials and to give em- ployment at the earliest possible moment to the greatest number of men and women. And it is the sensible, the logical, the wise thing to do—for Great Britain. We would do well to take a leaf out of the British book. We would do well to remember that —at least pending the actual forming of a League of Nations that may function otherwise—the old competitive system is at work again, with every nation locking out for its. own salvation. From now on, our slogan should be “America first!" If Europe closes her doors to our manu- factured goods, then we should keep our money; cur food and our raw materials at home. Instead of lending millions to Europe, lend it to our own in- dustries. Instead of shipping food abroad, keep it here to batter down the cost of living. It’s a poor rule that won’t work both ways. import restriction upon raw; ONE OF THE BIG EVENTS IN MAN’S LIFE Your life is marked by the big events that con- stitute the milestones from cradle to grave. There’s the day you became engaged, the day you were married, the day you bought your first auto- mobile, the day your son was born, and then— Well, on the day of this latest big event you Toam around the office with a vacant sort of ex- pression on your face, muttering under your breath, “It doesn’t seem possible—it just doesn’t seem possible!” And you tip over chairs and laugh at the wrong place when customers tell you stories and all the time you feel an exalted sort of joy you’ve never felt before. The telephone opera- tor smiles at you sympathetically every time you jump to your -feet when the phone -rings. - You sink back disappointed into your chair every time it’s not the message you expect. And you take out the picture of your wife as she was when you married her and place it on your desk next to the picture of your son snapped on the day he graduated from high school. And you smile and laugh and your eyes grow a little Pesta renclitrater act beatae oh che boadi het aad Entered at the Postoffice, Bismarck, N.

THE GREAT WORLD QUESTION As an educational agency the Northern Con- gress for a League of Nations to Enforce Peace has proved a gratifying success. Everywhere it has evoked discussions of, the uppermost world question of the day. Whether it will have any direct influence on the deliberations at Paris may be doubted, but ds benefits to the people of the Northwest in the Wa; foBenlightenment and stimu- lation of public debate are beyond question. The dominating figure naturally has been Former President William H. Taft, the largest luminary in the all-star troupe that is shining on a series of such congresses the country over. Mr. Taft’s logical mind, his judicial temperament, his analytical power, his invincible good humor, to- gether with his devotion of years to the League of Nations problem, give him an unsurpassed equipment for the fine work he is now doing. = Mr. Taft does not stand out for any set form of league, except that it must be one “with a bite to it,” one capable of enforcing its decisions. The linneapolis arguments has Keen i thai ‘thi aw uffice to main- tain the Kk ates Webi pe, and make secure the fruits of the ictory that.has been won. There is already in existence a ledgue “with a bite to it.” It is composed of the five great powers whose representatives are now counseling together in Paris. It is the league that brought Germany to her-knees and ended f her dream of world domination. ' Any leagg@ novp formed must of §ec-; ‘essitybe-the outgrowth of that one, the resul§ of a process of evolution from that one. ; The league we already have has the power to’ do all the things that Mr: Taft so truly says must be done. It can and will delimit the territories of the new states of Europe. It will settle their dis- putes among themselves, or with any of its own members, or with what is left of the vanquished enemy. It can set .up the tribunal to decide future controversies. It can intervene hereafter to re- store order and law whenever necessary, just as the United States has intervened, as Mr. Taft so appositely points out, in Cuba. It can penalize Germany for her crimes, discipline her for her moral delinquency, force her to bring forth works meet for repentance—and finally, when her re- generation warrants the step, admit her to mem- bership. &, The fact is that the League of Nations is no new idea, no new accomplishment. There are many examples in history of such leagues, either set up or sought to be set up, though none with Then she wipes her eyes and smiles and wipes We are told that some polite form of polygamy SS A Wa ° | rassment of the injustice. kidneys.

But for at least several hundred years the thoughts and aspirations of the’ civilized: nations have run in that direction. Let us not, therefore, expect too much from the new league, nor expect it too soon. Let us not delude ourselves with the notion that, to abol- ish war forever, we have only to agree on a the- oretically perfect constitution for the new league, and set it to functioning. Whatever Society of Nations is now formed, it is more likely than not that some member of it in the not distant future will defy its orders and provoke war. But the hope is that there will be an instrumentality through which the opinion of the world, the voice of civilization, may issue its decrees, and mayhap enforce them. ‘Mankind makes its onward and upward steps slowly and haltingly. It does not leap forward suddenly and retain all the progress thus made. There are many backslidings, many stumblings, much blood:and sweat to pour out.
