Ss That cannot be denied by Senator Lodge and his following of 2 Republican obstructionists in the United States Senate, or by any ether opponent of the proposed League of Nations. 4 The Senatorial band of professed League-haters have no alterna- © tive plan for reducing the probability of war in future nor, if they © gq, Bel one, could they offor the slightest guarantee that other nations © would accept it. . a Tt is not the American way to scorn progress because it does not a ab-ome jump achieve perfection. +P Nor has the experience and training of most Americans been such ¢-@ to make them patient with men who obstinately tutn their backs a benefits within practicable reach—above all when such stubborn- gj, Baas only too plainly reveals its origin in partisan prejudice. .

Most of those now living are perfectly capable of applying the same principle to « broader field and agreeing that “after all, nothing that is worth doing in this world can be - done without sacrifice, and !f any rea! change in the present international anarchy is to take place it can only bo because the nations of the world are so convinced of the horrible evils of war that they are ready to pak something to prevent its e occurrence in the future.” An overwhelming majority of the people of the United States | ~~ * are reasoning thus, however much Republican Senators profess to 2 doubt in. a Such reasoning becomes all the clearer when dastardly crimes growing out of anarchy aud unrest prove hw urgently a speedy peace « end the establishment of more settled conditions throughout the world are needed.

E was a Massachusetts man with such a genius for bush ness that at nineteen he wes partner in a Baltimore mercantile house.

But it was in behalf of others and not for his selfish gain that he was destined to immortality.
