And there you have it—the difference between the old idea and the new, as neatly summed up as it could be in mere words, But what of the “old ance of power, ) 1 accomplished in the pas ber of cases. | There was an alliance and a treaty after the downfall of Napoleon that was not successful, For out of it grew the Franco-Prussian war. ) At the close of the Franco-Prussian war things were patched up again, in the same way. And lo! the Great War, the one that has just closed. These are just three wars that have shaken the whole world. Of little wars there have been many during the } same period, treaties and alliances and “balances of pow- er” succeeding wars, and new wars in turn succeeding them —a vicious circle, a regular merry-go-round of blood and destruction. In Europe the Balkan states have been par- j ticularly prolific of this sort of thing and it was in a Bal- kan contest that the excuse for the present war was found, f Clemenceau may talk of his “old tem of alliances.” i He is an old man, and old men look backward—we wonder sometimes to what purpose. But the rest of the world, r system of alliances,” the old “bal What have such arrangements Recent history presents a num- -) even his own people, want something better, and will get it. i Wilson today represents what the great mass of the ; ple of the world want. They are not sure that his i crue of Nations plan will be a perfect panacea, but they } do know that Clemenceau’s scheme is no good at all when Here is a sidelight on the two men themselves: Clemenceau is a great leader for war—a shrewd vet- eran of politics. But he is admittedly old fashioned, inclined to cling to the things that were. And in his own country, ; among the common people, he is not so popular as has been represented. He is not a liberal in the true sense of the } word. He is not a “people’s man.” He has been called | “labor crusher” and “intolerant,” and the names stick to him. It is doubtful if he will be a great leader for peace— peace in the new world that we have fought for. Woodrow Wilson is not a politician. He makes bad political breaks. He does things unprecedented. His friends admit it. But he has proved himself as good a war leader here as even Clemenceau in France—(witness the success of our armies). And in his leadership he has stood for the hts of men. He has been called by workingmen them- ives “the greatest labor leader in the world.” And if this peace is going to be really a peace of democracy, that means something. Is Divorce the Evil or ‘Symptom? Washington state is wrought up over the divorce question. We are the greatest territory in the world when it comes to breaking marriage ties with ease, Ave are told. Even far-famed Reno pales when the achievements of Washington divorce courts are related. A new divorce bill, sponsored by the Seattle Ministerial federation, and having the backing of an organized cam- Ppaign in the eastern part of the state, will be presented at the coming session of the legislature. } Under this measure, divorce is made distinctly harder. A woman who has been deserted by her husband must wait until two long years elapse before the court will recognize} that she has been actually deserted. At present she can, : ' secure relief from her marriage bonds immediately when) é the fact is established that her husband has gone the way of men who dislike the responsibilities of supporting their . families. ‘ Incompatibility as a grouhd for divorce will be wiped é| out under the new law if it passes. Two mismated creatures, | : each a thorn in the side of the other, must continue their eI existence of bickering, quarreling and misery until parted by death, according to the wishes af the Seattle ministers. In opposition to all this clamor for harder divorce laws we find Judge J. T. Ronald coming out with the declaration that the divorce courts are not to blame, but that the mar- riage laws are at fault. “Make marriage harder before you would solve the problem,” warns the judge. “Better have divorce than domestic hell on earth.” And one is inclined to agree with Judge Ronald when, he declares that divorce is merely the surgeon's knife which removes a cancer, and is not itself the cause of the disease. Where the Negative Works The senate cannot make treaties, but it can reject them if it will. Nothing more is to be said. The senate has no affirmative power whatsoever—New York World. Rats! There’s a lot more to be said, and it is going to be said. It will likely be said in the United States senate until all of us are sick of it. True, the senate has no affirmative power whatsoever, j but it has a negative power that is positive. Give us the / negative power and we'll make any affirmative proposition | g eeegnted by the other fellow look like something the cat brought in. But, there is a feature about this matter of treaty ; making that is at this time unusually conspicuous. It is) | that, in our democra the people have no voice in making} treaties and yet treaties with foreign nationware part of their fundamental law. Neither as individuals nor as states of the Union can our people act in trespass upon a treaty | concocted by the president and confirmed by two-thirds of the senate. It’s a darned sight more Prussian than demo- | cratic and the arrangement was made solely as sop to our original aristocracy. We're simply right lucky in having a Wilson who i things instead of a Hohenzollern after Hun thin, Nothing more is to be said?” Huh! Part of our rep- resentative senate is already sitting up nights to discover fiery adjectives to throw at anything Wilson may be able to put across that conference table. after tle has been converted into a A children’s ho Progress, buzzard autocr useful plebian hen. fated to swags my lords!

It is the breeding place of special privilege and injustic and when men come to look upon it unafraid, they pull it down, or make it a sight-seeing obje for tourists, or, better yet, convert it into a comfortable home for the chi dren of the streets. And so we progress—from the little princeling up to the child of opportunity, } it comes to preserving the peace for any length of time. i BY W. G.
