LODGE AND HAMILTON.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is an able historian and biographer. Among his writing is a biography , of Alexander Hamilton. The founder of the Federalist party heldj about the same relationship toward ( the adoption of the constitution ofi the United States that Mr. Lodge holds toward the league q,f nations. There were things about the constitution that Hamilton didn’t like, just as some of the articles of covenant of the league of nations do not meet with Senator Lodge’s approval. But Hamilton was big enough and patriotic enough to give his support to the constitution’s adoption, and for that he is praised by Mr. Lodge in his writings. ‘‘Hamilton’s confidence in his own theory deepened and his faith in the existing constitution declined. But when the work was complete at Philadelphia, when he had put his name to the compro-

mise which he had anticipated, and In which he rejoiced, he gave his adherence to the new constitution and the new system,” wrote Mr. Lodge. •'Had he been an agitator, or a sentimentalist of muddy morals and high purposes, a visionary and an idealist, he would have stood up and howled against this constitution, which was not what he wanted, and which fell so short of his own standard. As he was none of these things, but a patriotic man of clear and practical mind, he knew that the first rule of successful and beneficial statesmanship was not to sulk because one cannot have just what he wants, but to take the best things obtainable, and sustain It to the uttermost.” •Senator Lodge upon occasions has declared for a league of nations. He doubtless realizes that its covenant cannot be perfect in all things when first drafted, but that amendments will became necessary from time to time, as it became necessary from time to time to amend the constitution. {Senator Lodge now seems to forget that the first rule of successful statesmanship is “not to sulk because one cannot have just what he wants,” but to take the best thing obtainable. Too bad Senator is not big enough and patriotic enough to earn the commendation he bestows upon Alexander Hamilton.

TRANSCENDS PARTY INTERESTS

There are plentiful signs that ' thousands of American men and j womeir both within and beyond the ' pale of political parties have ap--1 proved and are heeding President Wilson's request that the league of * nations be not considered as a partisan issue. Former President Taft, 1 former Attorney-General Wicker- ] sham and former Senator Burton of Ohio are among the notable Republicans who are urking-ratifica-tion of the league by the United States senate, bat they are not alone iiF this advocacy. Reports from every section of the country show that men and women 1 who doubtless have political preferences are subordinating these to their love of country; that their concern for peace in the world, now and hereafter, transcends their regard for names and slogans of parties. The league has been the subject of many indorsements by organizations representing almost every sort of interest and activity —commercial, industrial, economic, civic and patriotic. In the membership of these organizations there i must have been men and women of different and dissident political views, but they seem to have been one in their belief that the league of nations is an insurance against war, and one also in their wish to establish it without delay. < Hostile senators may continue to attract attention by their vociferous opposition, but, their din is no measure of the league popularity. There are thousands—still silent—who will express themselves in a voice of thunder when they know the time has come. The marine and seamen’s, division of the war risk Insurance bureau -closes its activities with the

record of having operated at a net rtofll of more than 117,000,000.1 Thia with the 050,000,000 appro-* prlated by congreaa at the outbreak of the world war as a sinking fund will be returned to the government.' The division has made the record of operating at a profit and of sup-j plying insurance against the sub-' marine danger to men, ships .and cargoes at a time when private corporations would accept no risks. William 11. Taft knows that the formation of a league of nations would hasten the conclusion of peace, and says so. Certain Re-’ publican senators doubtless have the same belief but not like fair- 1 ness. i

Mr. Wright explained that the system that has been laid out “is not to be regarded as final. He asserted that nearly every mile of the highways he Aias selected has been gone over and that in choosing the roads every effort was made to distribute the system, evenly over the state. Just what roads will be taken over by the state is of great importance at this time to county commissioners, as they have before them petitions for road construction under the three-mile gravel road law and the county unit law on which they are deferring action because of the possibility that the state will take over the particular highway next spring. A copy of the tentative state highway system has been submitted to the state board of tax commissioners by Mr. Wright so that the tax board would have some idea of the road work that need not be undertaken by the counties by reason of the fact that the state will shortly assume jurisdiction. Delegations of county officials are calling at the offices of the highway commission daily in an effort to learn what roads In their counties will be taken o,ver by the state. It is estimated that it will take the highway commission from seven to eight years to build all the roads in the state system as mapped orut. The state- commission will, however, repair and maintain all the roads from the date they are taken over.

MANY ALIENS LEAVE INDIANA

Estimated That Fifth Will Leave Steel District. According to the department of labor, about 20 per cent of the foreigners employed in the Indiana steel district, embracing Gary, Indiana Harbor, South Bend, South Chicago and East Chicago, are preparing to return to their native lands. Ethelbert Stewart, who conducted the investigation, said today that taking the United States as a whole, a very. conservative estimate of the number who will return is 1,300,000. In normal times there were something like 450,000 foreigners, mostly Italians, who came to our shores in'Carly spring of each year, worked

until fall and returned to Italy. ( Thi* migratory group has not been considered In the inveatlgation being conducted by Mr. Stewart’s service, .. • Inasmuch a* aliens have not been | able to eend money home for sour | year* they for the most part have ample money, and the investigation' and Inspection service estimates that the average amount each one will carry with him Is about $3,000. The director of the investigation and inspection service Is In receipt of communications every day frmn various journals printed In foreign languages offering to do what they can to stem the returning tide of alien * laborers. , From data collected from representative aliens of the various nationalities estimates have been made to the percentage of aliens who plan to return to their home countries. These percentages are based on figures giving the number of aliens of eacb ( nationality In the community and. the number who contemplate returning to Europe. Thus, of 163,498 Poles covered by the investigation 24,580, or 15.04%, will return to Poland. , In some cases the figures reported were only of the number j of aliens who will return to thelrj home countries and did- not show what relation that number bore to the total population of the nationality In that community. The following figures are representative: Of the Austro-Hungar-ians covered, 28.02% will return; Poles, 16.06%; Russians, 37.5%; Croatians, 21.75%; Lithuanians, 9.72%; Roumanians,- 64.29%; Italians and Greeks, 11%; Serbs, 36.90%; Slovakes, 34.50%.
