THE NEW WORLD PACT Adoption of the protocol of arbitration and security by the League of Nations, after amending it in the face ot! Japan’s threat, doubtless will be followed by a campaign to force the entrance of the United States into the League. Citizens may expect to see a flood of propaganda unloosed in behalf of the protocol, and under the enticing program of outlawry of war an effort will be made to cause America to yield its place of splendid isolation and mingle on common ground with old world diplomats. If President Coolidge is returned to power it is unlikely that the propaganda will succeeed. If John W. Davis is! elected President citizens may expect to see him endeavor; to bring the country into the League of Nations. Thej protocol in amendment and interpretation of the covenant | of the League of Nations is intended to ban war by giving! the League of Nations authority over all its members, but | the very wording of the amendments dictated by Japan is likely to keep the United-States out of it. The final draft provides: That the Council of the League has jurisdiction over any d’sputes between states, even when the subject in dispute belongs to the domestic ju iction of one of them. That if such a dispute aris and the state whose domestic policy has been called in question refuses to admit the juris- diction of the League, and is subsequently the victim of a military attack, the attacking state is not gullty of aggression. ,» Japan has denied that she was influenced by the immi- ‘gration dispute with the United States in {forcing the amend- ment. The interpretation that she was so interested is liberally adhered to by American students of diplomacy. It is very plain, regardless of intent, that the amendment is so framed that it would benefit Japan in the case the immigra- ; tion dispute led to hostilities. i Under the amendment, the League could assume an atti-| “tude on domestic policies of the United States. The pro- nounced attitude of Japan on immigration as well as Euro- *.peny nrotests against America’s immigration restriction law would argue that the League, if called on to decide, would c pose the United States. Japan or any other nation de- sivous of making war on the United States thus would be; nie to do so without being declared the aggressor, and if the United States refused to submit to the League’s dictates on her domestic policies; would be virtually an outlaw nation. The United States has always majntained the right to; Cecide her domestic policies. Liberty of action is written -into her basic law and the hearts of the people. It is un-: thinking that the policy of so great a/nation should be sub- jugated to the dictates of foreign powers. ARE YOU A SLACKER? : | Earnest immigrants, come to America from former! homes abroad, become citizens with the realization that one; of the greatest privileges and benefits of citizenship is the, power to vote—to help determine the form of government they will live under. The citizen, whether native-born or naturalized immi- grant, is a citizen in name only and not a citizen in effect if he fails to go to the polls and vote. For the ballot is, we repeat, the foundation of individual participation in govern- , ment. Genuine patriotism is on its tiptoes in peace as well as wa~. In wartime, patriots fight with bullets. In peacetime, patr’ots fight with ballots. The ballot-slacker is not far removed from the bullet- slacker, in failure to do his share. Voting is a privilege. Voting is also a DUTY. } i note without fail! Vote without fail! Vote without ail! ..YOUR vote is needed! YOUR vote is needed! vote is needed! YOUR SHORTER NOW Average American is two inches shorter than in Civil | War days, claims Dr. John Harvey Kellogg. He blames it on the “eat and run” habit. That’s medically plausible. But a more probable reason is that evolution is responsible. We don’t need to be as tall, so we aren’t. Sitting in street- cars and autos, instead of walking, is going to cause interest- ing changes in the human race within a few generations. | =. Unexercised limbs, after generations, will become shriveled and weak, just as most of us have lost our ancestors’ power sz to wag the ears. The muscles are there, but dormant. FIGHTING TO LIVE In his cellar, Bill Dougherty finds a potato which, fight- ing to live and reproduce, had sent out roots nine feet long over the concrete floor. These roots were manufactured out of air, dust and dampness. . Compared with this potato, most of us have a cinch. What we call “high cost of living” and “battle to make both ends meet” are not unusual to that form of life known as man. They exist all through—the struggle to survive. The .= strength that maintains life is generated by struggle. Life of ease is life of decay and early extinction. * x CLIMATE Queer weather probably means that the climate is chang- irg faster than uSual:. Such change is going on constantly,! though in the past it has been so slowly that one generation, could scarcely notice any difference. Scientific diggers find animal'and vegetable fossils prov- ing that England 100,000 years ago had a tropical climate, in which savage men hunted elephants. Our country, fu: ~ ther back, had the ocean extending up over most of the Mis-, + sissippi Valley. % : on a .

They presented here in order that readers may have both sides mportant issues which are being discunsed in the press of the day. | | THE ONE BIG ISSUE In this campaign there hag de- veloped one big, outstanding is- sue: the LaFollette effort to curb the power of the United States ; Supreme Court and .make the court beholden to Congress, Other issues may be important, but this attack upon the court which is an attack upon the Con- | stitution is clearly paramount for the very reason that in its advu- cacy Mr. LaFollette, and the group | Which thinks as he toes, is strik- | ing at fundamental principles of the American Government. It is a time for those who be- lieve in America to stand four- square for those fundamental principles which have made us powerful ag a jon; which have granted the greatest liberty to "| citizenship which can be found} anywhere in all the World; which {insure future generations of like; protection; which maintain the inalienable rights of the individ- ual; which give the minority fair play as against whatever majority may be in power. Here in America we agree that the majority should rule, but are we prepared to agree to submit ourselves to the doctrine that the majority for the moment, as it ex- presses itself, is always right? If one holds to this latter theory then he believes in scrapping the Constitution; he believes in jeop- ardizing sacred individual rights which were gained by the Amer- ican Colonists on the battlefields of the Revolution. You say, Mr. LaFollette wouldn’t carry things so far. Don't be too sure about it. Remember he is ad- vocating a policy which would make such things possible. On the strength of this plank, and one other, he has secured the indorse- ment of the Socialist Party of America. Do not lose sight of the fact that he is their candidate for President. There are those Americans, it is true, who have been discontented with some of the conditions in the existing order, but the great masses of the people are not di: contented with the existing order. These conditions of which they do | complain can best be righted un- der the existing order than by de- stroying constitutional bulwarks, thus upsetting our whole system of government. The man who believes in the inalienable rights of the individ- ‘ual, that the minority has rights which should, be protected, in re- ligious freedom, in property rights, in equal opportunity, and who constders America’s progress in the past, will align himself defi- nitely against any movement tend- ig to weaken the safeguards oi these rights. | ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS RY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Along came Tweekanose, the | Gnome who liked to keep the babies awake. “Heigh ho, hi lum lo!” he sang. “I am so happy! Tum re tum le hi hum ho!” “What are you so happy about?” asked Twelve Toes the Sorcerer, who was one of his best friends. “I'm so happy,” sang Tweekanose, “because the Sand Man has lost his sleepy sand. “You've got part of it, thanks to my smartness, and Trixy Trixo has part of it, and the rest is in Squeejick Land. The Sand Man will*never find it now.” “Don’t be so sure about that,” said Twelve Toes gloomily. “I had my share of the sleepy sand in a flower pot with a rose planted in it. “But the Sand Man came with the Twins and said a charm, ‘Iminy Jiminy!’ just like that. The first thing I knew the sand jumped right out of my flower pot into tlie Sand Man's sack.” “Toadstools and fuzzy worms!” cried Tweekanose crossly. And with- out another word he rushed to the mountain where Trixy Trixo lived. “Quick!” he cried to that person. “Give me all the magic sand I left for you to keep for me. I’m afraid the Sand Man and the Twins will get it.” “Too minutes late by three hours, forty and six seconds,” said Trixy. “The Sand Man was here and said a charm. I had the magic sand in a box and he said ‘Iminy Jiminy’ just like that and away it went.” “Fleabites and mosquitoes!” cried Tweekanose still more crossly. And without another word he rushed to Squeejick Land to see what had happened there. It was just the kame. The Squee- jick king told Row the Sand Man and the Twins had fooled him com- pletely and the Squeejick ford High Counsellor told how they had fooled him completely and run off with a whole sackful of sand. “All my trouble for nothing,” said Tweekanose gloomily. “I haven't a friend I can trust. I’ll have to go to Crookabone and ask his advice.” Crookabone was the Gnome king who lived under the ground, and to him went Tweekanose with his troubles. “The Sand Man and the Twins have the ic sand again,” he said, “and the first thing you know all the kiddies will get to sleep to- night.” Crookabone smiled a sour smile. “They're not asleep yet,” said he. “I have a plan. I can stop the Sand Man and the Twins jbefore they get a hundred steps farther.” So he called a hundred workers together. “Go and get a thousand cakes of soap,” he commanded, “and pave the road to Jum Jum Land before the Sand Man gets there.” Then he called a hundred more of of his wr IN A Lot Depends Upon Which Way the Fruit Falls ! i { | i MAKES ’EM FEEL IMPORTANT By Albert Apple > Nothing is quite as pleasing as the feeling that we're indispensable—or, at least, that we’re needed. It is almost pathetic how the individual man strives to convince himself and others that he is of extreme importance in the great | scheme of things. ey | This feeling of importance is one of the chief influences that animate men to struggle for success, wealth and power. Whenever you try to figure out a man’s motive for doing so-and-so, and fail, it is a pretty safe bet that he has acted under the spurs of his vanity. Human life is self-preservation, reproduction, assistance to others, self-improvement and—vanity. Much of the real satisfaction of life is in the delusion of self-importance. It. begins with the lad marching proudly as general of a squad armed with broomsticks. So on, to the general with folded arms contemplating his armies in battle, the owner proudly pondering his bit of wealth and property, the magnate marveling at the industry he has built up—(with the aid of others, of course, though it may not occur to him). Admittedly, we’re all important, even though not all-im- portant. Each has his function, as surely as every indi- vidual bee has his destined work in the hive and every ant in the hill. The feeling of importance often becomes an obscession that we are indispensible. Then it’s time to “get the gate.” The supreme tragedy of growing old is not in the loss of youthful vigor and beauty, but in the gradual realization that one is no longer of much importance. Comes the day when we realize that our work is about finished — that we are being gently escorted to a back seat, to be a “rail bird” or “wall flower.” Then we live only in memory. To old persons, few things are more jubilating than to be made to feel that they are important—needed. Old men are eager to talk by the hour, explaining how things should be done. Old ‘women crave to be summoned to the sick - bed \ “AY SF ANNI us — “Go and get a thousand watering pots and sprinkle the road to Jum Jum Land as soon as the others get through with it,” he commanded. “Now, sir!” said he to Tweekanose “if you cannot do the rest you do not deserve your name.” “Hee, hee, hee!” cried Tweekanos gleefully. “Never fear. I'll get the the cow jumped over the moon.” (To Be Continued) | (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) Ho hum! The Chinese war is shooting our alphabet for a row of glass dressing rooms.

He is far removed from the type of wine salesman of pre-prohibition days. In those times the men who sold liquor to the trade went from bar to bar each night, buying “drinks for the house” and making friends for themselves and their product with the nightly revéllers. It was a difficult task and many a man lost his health in the service. This modern whisky salesman is an artist on the telephone. He gets most of his orders without ever calling in person. on a customer. He is blustry of manner, has a red face, but, I am told, never has eve- tasted the liquor he sells.
