the assembly or both. Revolutionists, of course, will have no friend at court, and their claims will be decided by a tribunal on which their enemies have been members probably for years, and have a pronounced advantage In tha contest. Under those conditions a decision against tin- revolutionists would be almost Inevitable in every ca.se. Again, practically every revolution in the history of the world has received assistance from outside nations. The American revolution was aided by fleets and armies from France. Polish and German officers also gave us their services. The Cuban revolution was assisted to success by the United States. The contending forces in Mf.vico have received money and supplies from foreign friends to sustain them. Even the rebellion of the Southern States recived open encouragement from England, where privateers were fitted out. without any attempt at secrecy, to prey upon our commerce. In each and every one of those cases the parent nation v as threatened by "external aggression." and had the league been in existence, could hao turned to it for aid in suppressing the revolution. As a matter of fact, the words 'external aggression" in Article 10 mean little. That and the following article practically bind every member nation to protect the "territorial integrity and existing political independence" of all other members. There is no getting away from it. Senator Borah has developed the same argument in de bates on the covenant in the senate, using as his illuv tration on the K0 year struggle of the Irish for independence. It is his opinion that the endorsement by the world of articles 10 and 11 of the league covenant ab f.olutely eliminates for all time any hope that the Irish mav entertain for dreedom from Encrlish rule.

Originality, Again! Women will never become pcou socialists. They like originality. No person will be able to tell a woman that she must wear a dress or a hat or a pair of shoes exeactly like those worn by another woman. It simply can't be done. Two young ladies, attired in the latest stle. figured In police cout at Pittsburgh. Pa., a day or two ago, simply because they had hats alike. One girl explained to the jud.?o that her milliner had told her that the. hat she had pun-based was the only one of its kind in the city. And -.hen- she explained, tearfully to the judge, she went out en the street3 and met that horrid woman over there with the very same sort of & hat! Horrors! But the judge wasn't impressed. He realized it was the age-old struggle fer originality in style for women. It is likely that in the Garden of Eden. Eve would have ben jealous of ?.ny other woman who wore a fig leaf shaped like her's. Bv. fortunately Eve wasn't bothered by competitors. Oh happy Garden of Eden!

Abolishes Right Of Revolution, During the discussion of the League of Nations covenant it has been stated frequently that the guaranteeing of the "territorial integrity and existing political ir.dependenca" of league members holds good only "as against external aggression." In other words, that th right of revolution is still preserved to peoples who feel themselves aggrieved at their ruling state, and desire to set up a government of their own. even if resort to force becomes necessary. That is true, but with regard to Article 10, of the covenant only. The very next paragraph undertakes to deal -with all wars, whether caused by the aggression of one state upon another or by revolution within a state. Article 11 reads as follows: "Any war or threat of war, whether immediately affecting any of the members of the league or not. ;s hereby declared a matter of concern to the whole league, and the league shall take any action that may be deemed wise and effectual to safeguard the peace of nations." Under that clause every insurrection that occurs in the future, no matter what motives inspire it, becomes a "matter of concern" to the league, and it proceeds to take "any action that may be deemed wise." True, it may decide that the revolutionists are in the right and that the parent state must be restrained from interfering in the partition of is erritory. But what real chance Is there of that? Is it to be supposed for a moment that a colony of England for instance, will have any standing in the league, dominated as it will be by six British votes, regardless of the merits of any revolution that may be undertaken by it? Every leading nation of the world is to be a member of the league, If the plans of its promoters do not miscarry. They will each be represented in the council or

Republican Doctrine. We have pointed out that the great leaders of the Republican party have always maintained the party today is in entire accord with its position in the past. It 1 not an accdent that the Republcan party has been called upon to put American interests in the foreground. One of the clearest statements of this principle was made by President McKinley in his first inaugural, when he said: "It has been the policy of th United States since the foundation of the government- to cultiva'e rela'ions of peace and amity with all the nations of the world, and that accords with ray conception now. We have cherished the policy of non-interference with the affairs of foreien governments, wisely Inaugurated by Washington, keeping ourselves free from entanglement, either as allies or foes, content to leave undisturbed with them the settlement o ftheir own concerns. It will be our aim to pursue a firm, dignified foreiun policy- which shall be ju?t. impartial, ever watchful of our national honor, and always insisting upon the lawful rights of American citizens' everywhere. Our diplomacy should seek nothing more and accept nothing less than is due us."

Women Must Accept Their Own Responsibili ties Henceforth, Says Mrs. Raymond Robins

The International CongTfs of Working Women the first such meeting to take place in the history of the world-is just a part ot the women's movement of the world, in the words of Mrs. Raymond Robins, president of the National Women s Trade Union League of America, which organization hn called the Congress' for a meeting in Washington, October 2.V "Women," Mts Robins savs, "are conscious now that thev must accept their own responsibilities and no longer have their nffairs attended to by proxy. Men cannot take the entire responsibility for the world. Their knowledge must be supplemented by that of women Hence, when it was learned that the International l abor Conference was to meet in Washington in October, the British women's organisations requested, by vote of their membership, to ask the National Women's Trade Union League of America to call an International Congress of Working Women in Washington the week prior to the labor conference i:t order that the fruit of their discussions and resolutions might be of use to the labor conference proper when that body took up the dicu--sion of employment of women, child labor and protection of mothers and babies. Accordingly, each country wai asked to end ten accredited delegates. "The greatest result of this Congress should be the establishment of mutual understanding and faith between women of all nationalities. No constructive work for the future can be achieved unles it is built upon fellowship and a deiimte understanding of one another's problems. At the present moment endless avenues can be built up by which people of all countries may get together to exchange" their experiences and ideas. Up to the present mnny of these have been closed to working women. The Congress offers this opportunity for an interchange of thought on the subjects which affect them mostly -legislation concerning employment, child labor, care of mothers and protection of women in hazardous industries. "Wherever there is a child not getring a fair chance it is up to the working women of the world to give that child its chance. Wherever there if ft woman suffering because she has

not had a fair chance in life, the working women of the world must see to it that no other woman suffers from the same reason because the position of women is finally tested by the women who have the least. "As a result of the interchange of ideas which has already taken place between women of the world, the American Women's Trade Union League has appointed a committee on International Relationships of which I am chairman. The other members are Miss Mary Anderson, head of the Women's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor; Miss Agnes Nestor, vice-president of the International Glove Workers Union, Chicago; Miss Julia O'Connor, president of the Telephone Operators Union, Boston ; Miss Rose Schneidermann, presidrrrt of the New York Women's Trade Union League.

"This Committee on International Relationships should be able to give as definite information of what is happening among working women throughout the world as such a committee of any commercial organization does. "It is quite as true that a nation, no more than an individual, can live alone. Our standards, therefore, must be tested by those of the world and set up with an idea that they are helping the women of the world." Mrs. Robins is one of the five delegates from the National Women's Trade Union League of America who was elected at the seventh biennial convention of that organization held in Philadelphia in June, to sit in the International Congress of Working Women. She is spending much of her time in Washington completing arrangements for the Congress.

Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, of the Free Synagogue, in New York, an ardent advocate of the ratification of the

j Leag'ie of Nations covenant without amendment or re

servation, tells an interesting story of his observations in London at the time of the reception to President Wil-r-on. He describes, with much humor, the draping of the stars and stripes around a statue of Gearge III. while in the hand of the image of the former king there was placed a staff bearing an American flag. Well, why shouldn't a British monarch carry an American flag if Great Britain can have six votes in the League of Nations to America's one? When the destinies of this nation are thU3 committed to Great Britain, we may as well transfer the flag to British soil.

! The Passing Show

The Thirty-Nine Stand Pat. . Although certain textual amendments to t'ie peace treaty have met with defeat, the country need not fer that the League of Nations covenant is to be permitted to encroach upon our liberties. The doom of that nefarious scheme was sealed on the 4th of last March when thirtynine of the Republican senators now in congress signed their names to a written declaration that the league int?rwoven with the Peace treaty should not be accepted b ythe Unied States. There is no sign of wavering among the members of that stalwart company, and their solidarity insures either the complete" defeat of the league or its radical reconstruction.

LIFE is a funny thing. All the baseball and football heroes in college get their pictures In the papers and college annual, while the good students get their names in

Tthe index in the back part of the college catalogue whieh never interests anybody.

AND what haa become of THE o. f girl who USED to wear shoes that buttoned up. OUR position Is that A HIGH school girl has got. the rlfrht to DRESS as fooliyhly as her mother does. A MAX must mik the BEST of the kidney and biood-rressure SITUATION as he grows older. BUT our xay of fighms: for our lost or NEARLY lst youth IS to reflect HOW much rather we'd be of the proteld age THAN dandelion-green age.
