WONDER-KIDS. Jack, the neighbor's 4-year-old boy. has llgged. up a wireless apparatus in his be.l room and sends messages to his cousin who lives a half mile away. Experimenting with the chemical outfit he received jj, a Christmas present. Clarence, who lives across the tret, taaa dyed his sister's white silk stcckiugs a v ivi.l blue. And. by placing a mouse in a jar of oxygen made by himself, he discovered how fast, furious and short, life would be if there were nothing but oxygen to breathe. Ance upon a time fathers enjoyed some reputation, for -wisdom In their own family circles at least. Imt today a fellc-Ws 13-year-old son shows him up every once in a while. 'Father," he challenges. "I bet you don't Unow ta-w electrie wares travel through the air?" How's a fellow to maintain the. respect of his family la these time? We used to marvel at child prodigies who, like Thomas Bablngton Macaulay, could read Greek and Latin at five. In their times educational systems concerned themselves largely with the eseeptional child. This, however, 13 the day of educational opportunity for the average child. To the average boy of 13 electricity is a commonplace toy. He builds airplane models. He knows the inside of a gas engine. He belongs to wireless clubs, lie can't read Greek, but he can fix the electric bell at home and talk shop with the telephone repair man. PROTECTION VS. SURRENDER. "I have greatly appreciated your thoughtful kindness," wrote the president to Senator Hitchcock, "in keeping me informed concerning the conferences you and some of your colleagues have had with spokesmen of the Republican party concerning the possibility of ratification of the treaty of peace. ." It i3 significant that the president recognizes the fact that the recent conferences on the treaty have teea between Democrats and Republicans. Seldom has he oc any of bis followers had the hardihood to speak of reservationist senators as "Republicans." Mr. Wilson has taken note of the fact that some of his strongest aids in the treaty fight have tailed themelves Republicans. Strong as is his partisanship, he has been willing to subordinate it in the overwhelming dsire to draw friends to his league regardless of party. CerfaJn timid Republicans likewise have been ieath to draw a party distinction between those supporting the league intact and those fighting for its Americanization. Apparently fearful that votes might be lost if the Republican party should take a stand as an organization for the maintenance of American sovereignty unimpaired, and against those who seek to place the United States under the jurisdiction cf a foreign-cont relied council, those men have refrained from declaring themselves, and have insisted that the leag-ue debate was in no sene a controversy between political parties. Virile Republicans on the other hand, imbued with the spirit that elected a Lincoln and won the

CiTil War, have never hesitated to dec lare t hempen e untijulvocally in favor of continuing the policies that, lave placed the ix. tin try in the lead among nation nl prevented its list:lutlrn from -within1. They have tskeu the stand that the Republican party might as -!! ceaFe to funct'.un if it Is to abandon its traditional platform of Americanism, or to hesitate in placing it before the people without npology. TIiosp ni'H the men around wlum the fight has waged in the senate. Throughout the imtest various brands of Americanism have made their appearance. Mild reservations, compromise reservations, interpretative reseratlon?vaII have had their advocates- 11 nd nil have fallen before the Republican reservations backed by the men who had the moral courage to istand up and tight for their ccuntry's right?. President WIInuu now ndinits in his letter that those reservations wero perfected and are defended by Republicans, and he know that his hopeless flgbt to bring ubout their modification mu-t bo contested with Republican. It is useless for any man tiy take a different position. If the reservations to the covp1 ant are tc become rn lsvie in the next campaien the Republican party will assume responsibility for them, and attack their political opponents for refusing to ucj'pt them. The Democrats, likewise, will bp arrnypii m a party in favor of the unaltered Hague or as advocating various sorts of Interpretations that carry with them no real protection f.r American!: m. Mr. Wilson's letter cmphfisi.os the absurdity of attempting any longer to kepp the lpague tlphate free from party politics. It has become bb much of a party Issue as the tariff. Throughout is life the Republican party has stood fr protection to American industries from foreign competition. It now stands for the protection of.American t-overeirnty from foreign domination. Kvery voter who believes In those pr.lic'es will c;ist his ballot for the Republican candidates. Those who to a different i lew will, support the surrender candidates put forward by the Democrat:-. THE WASTE HURTS, NOT THE CAST. Before the several Investigations now under way ai-p co 1 'ludetl it Is quite probable that a good many Americans who are Inclined to laugh at Genera! Shernan's estimate of war will agree that the doughty o'd leader was not so far wrong. Making all due allowance for distortion through prejudice, or unfamrlty with the facts, enough has been adduced to give rise to the belipf that the world war was won in spite of certain American officials in high places, rather than with their assistance, according to th Detroit I Tee Press. The stories of wanton waste in connection with cur operations overseas are as'ounding even to a nation where extravagance has long been condoned, ii it has not so much the millions of dollars which worf involved that hurts, for every America 0 g.ive gladly in suport of the cause in behalf of whih wo were onlisted. Resentment is kindled by the fact that so ranch of this money was not -only squandered, but that in wastiug it in this manner the progress of the war was actually hindered. Few are inclined to haggle over the cost if results are forthcoming, particularly w jMn there is as much at stake as was involved in the struggle in France and elsewhere that American' ticops were in evidence. Put at ths late date it is hucji'iating. (specially in the light of the wonderful achievements of the great mass of our men who wen overseas, to find that there were sc many incompetents in places of great responsibility. Indignation at their conduct of affairs Is equalled only by contemplation, of the sorry spectacle r.fforden by those who it has been demonstrated proved traitors to their country here at home. It is a showing of which the nation tan scarcely be proud, ami belated justice will have to lay a heavy hand on the guilty v, herever they are found if it is to soothe the feelings of an outrased public.
