YOUR DUTY TO THINK IT OVER. The League of Nations per se, this newspaper does not oppose, hut it is decidedly against any "entangling alliances" with foreign nations unless the idea is submitted to the people of America for a referendum. It objects to power vested in one man to sign away the heritage of this country freedom. There has been a pood deal of flap-waving and a good many spread-eagle speeches made by politicians and orators about freedom, but the fact remains that our forefathers fought and bled for it nnd millions came to this country because it stood on the mountain peak of freedom, isolated, dominant, proud and far-seeing. Freedom made this country the greatest in ta world bar none. This newspaper does not by any means set itself up aa a critic of President Wilson's fteague of Nations idea because of any superiority of intellect or perfect familiarity with the meaning of the league draft. No onn man owns all the brains in this world and no one newspaper ia qualified to say it is right and others are wrong. This newspaper will admit that it may be wrong in its conception of the league of Nations. It will even go farther than that and admit that it does not understand it, but it considers that it has a right to think and to ask questions. We do no believe in locking the barn door after the horse is stolen and we do believe that the American people ought to understand perfectly and with the greatest clarity what Washington may sign away for it. We believe thoroughly in the Monroe Doctrine as Grover Cleveland believed in it and as Theodore Roosevelt believed in it and the American people may rue it to their sorrow if they do not convince themselves that the League of Nations does not jeopardize the Monroe Doctrine. We do not believe that the United States should be coaxed, hired or forced to pull any chestnuts out of the fire for Great Britain, France or any other European nation We disagree with Wilson when he sas that the men of this country went to Europe as crusaders. That's all very fine to listen to and to read, but they went to Europe simply because it was feared that the murderous German junker would eventually get his paws on American soil and they went to put a stop to it. The Yankee soldier clipped the claws of Prussianism and he did a good job of it. Without him thpy never would have been clipped. The job is done and America is done. It is time now for to attend to our own business. We haye plenty of it to attend to. It is pointed out that the constitution of the League of Nations provides that in case a dispute arises between two nations parties to the agreement, it shall be submitted to arbitration. If thus arbitrated, the decision must be accepted by both powers. But if any power shr.l! refuse to accept the result of the arbitrament, and war results, all the nations shall join the nation in whose behalf the verdict has been rendered, in waging war upon the power which refuses to(accept the decision. Suppose this country should again come into conflict with Japan in the matter of excluding oriental immigration into the United States. Suppose Japan should appeal to the associate powers, suppose, on the abstract question of the right of this country to prevent Asiatic immigration, the decision would be against us. Would we be able to force the acceptance of the situation by the American people? Suppose, on the other hand, that France and Italy should come Into conflict, that the decision should he against France and that war should result. Would it be possible to induce the American people to send an expedition to Europe to wago war upon France? If this great country is to help keep the peace of the world and to butt into every little clothesline squabble that Europe engages in, why it is time that the people should know it. The countries of Europe are so situated, and always will be situated so, that it will be necessary to call out th fire department every so often and if the American people propose to. keep a fire department to be sent to Europe to extinguish conflagrations we ni.-.s our guess It is absurd to think that the league covenant can be arranged to stop wars. The day will ne"er come whn

fioulties are

which may easily place us in a false position. 1 hey fear that the l"nit d States may become mixed up in wrangles and .po!r.sies and hates that dominate all national affairs in Europe. The people are fed on it Hum the cradle. They learn to fear s.r.d distrm l and prepare against neighboring nations. That is the direr: result of propaganda from the top --endless propa gandu --c r.turies of i;. In Euroce racial prejudices are a stone wall to p-ogress. Every war leaves bitterness and wounds which lead finally to another. It is a vicious circle, without any end in sight. From a purely American standpoint George Washington was right about ''no entangling alliances." The officers in our army are unanimous in declaring that the less we mix up in international affairs on this side of the water the better off we shall be. We haven't vhe same purposes, we haven't the same aspirations, we haven't even the same ideals. Though of the same blcod as the cider races we are yet a vastly different breed. And the quicker this army is jerked out and we get back to our knitting the better. We fought for one thing our sat iy. It is idle talk of having entered the war to succor any nation. Germany drove us in. A boch.e triunph would have threatened our see irity. So we w. nt to w ar and we on. Now let's got back. We recommend that to Mr. Wilson amid banquets, on his visit to this country and if J. Ham Lewis will let his whiskers alone long enough to digest it, we won't hear him spout ing so much. THE YANK AND HIS BABY. If you use jour eyes when you go from place to place on the streets, in stores and on depot platforms, you cannot help getting a lot of enjoyment out of lft'e when you envisage human nature. You cannot help but be happier if you view the world as one big brotherhood. There was a crowd of people waiting for a train to come in. Along the platform strode a great big buster of an overseas artilleryman with two gold service striper; and a wound stripe. Overseas men do not excite much wonder or speculation any more, niore's the pity, but they are a common sight nowadays and the human eye is soon surfeited with old sensation and looking for new. In fact, it is not a sensation any longer if it is old. The gunner's face was clef: from ear to ear with a smile. What do you suppose he was smiling at? A grea! big br.ster of a bah;. ! H hail no ees for anythir. V the babe. It might have been a year old. bTt it was a copy Of its dad. Where the mother was we didn't dare ask. hut the big artilleryman chucked the babe under the chin and cooed to it. He fondled it on that stalwart arm that hail served a cannon. The babe chuckled anil cooed back. It fairly gurgled with glee and it did a man good to watch the twain. The stork had undoubtedly come when the father was overseas and if you have imagination you can picture him and his thoughts as he fought in that hell over there, as he must have fought to be wounded. You can picture him with his thoughts thousands of miles away, wondering and wondering the hundreds of thines a potential father will wonder. You can never picture the mother nnd her no you can never picture her feelings unless you have been a mother and even then you couldn't describe them. Somehow as you saw that husky young father with his babe, you couldn't help hut give a sigh of relief nnd gratitude to think that lie got home safe again. Safe to hold the babe he did not have when he' left to cross the deep. Safe to help bring it up in a grand free country, having fought for it, to work for it and to help make a man of it some day. Yes, there are a lot of fine tl ings to see in this grim old world.

LANGUAGES IN THE SCHOOLS. A bill which lias passed the Indiana house of representatives eliminates the teaching of foreign languages entirely from the public grade schools. I: provides that in all schools, public, private or parochial, all the common studies shall be taught in the English, language onlv. It allows the teaching cf foreign languages as auxiliary studies in the private and parochial schools, but forbids the use of public funds for any instruction in foreign languages below the high school grades. This measure, like similar measures in several other states, is said to be aimed primarily at German, with the intention of preventing any further use of that tonp ue for propaganda purposes. Other langu.-.gfs are included chiefly for the sake of avoiding discrimination. There are perfectly sound educational grounds, however, 'or barring them all. Every school teacher knows that a school system which suceeds in teaching the fundamentals of the English language alone z doing pretty well. Grammar grade pupils are, despite a prevalent impression, not very apt language students. They have too much work to do. and they are not mature enough to understand the foreignlanguage grammar. Any acquisitions they may make in Gorman. French or Spanish are pretty sure to be gained at the immediate expense of their English. I: is better to let them wait for other languages until they reach the high school; or if they are not going to at -end high school, to let the parents, who want them to learn languages take care of the matter themselves.

A prominent Democratic paper says that Congress wants to be the President. Perhaps this remark is calculated to offset the very general condemnation of the President for trying to he Congress. Bat it will deceive no one. Congress has never tried to usurp executive functions the President has frequently drawn legislation, either directly or through his representatives, and has tried to force its passage in the form proposed.
