Irrevocable Loss of Sovereignty Opponents of the league of nations' constitution, recently submitted to the United States by President Wilson on his flying visit-home, have declared that instrument irrevocably transfers the most essential features of our national sovereignty to the league's executive council. Proponents of the constitution as submitted and recommended by our president declare that such elements of national sovereignty or freedom as are thus lost, must necessarily go to the league in order to render that organization powerful enough to enforce international peace. None of these latter, as has so far been noticed, has de-. nied that there is any provision for a nation once joining the league to withdraw therefrom or for any termination of the life of the league; It seems plain, therefore, that whatever degree of national sovereignty is absorbed by the league is gone forever, irrevocably. What is sovereignty? Webster says it is "the power that determines and administers the government of a state in the final analysis. Thus, in a republic, as the United States, the sovereignty is in the body of enfranchised citizens." What are the chief elements , of our national sovereignty? First and foremost our right to elect our national law makers and executives. At the present time these consist of our congressmen, senators and representatives, and our president and vice-president. Through these officials our best judgment regarding domestic affairs is expressed in laws and constitutional amendments, and concerning our relations with other nations in treaties and policies. To safeguard properly and forcefully our nation against any interference with the peaceful evolution of our national civilization and its ideals and aspirations, either from internal revolution or foreign aggression, we maintain an army, and navy as strong as our judgment tells us is necessary. To meet the expense of this God given and hard won right to rule ourselves, to finance properly our great American democracy, we empower our representatives equitably to tax us. There, in a nutshell, is the definition of our national sovereignty, what we do with it and how we maintain it. The international constitution President Wilson left with us, which bears the stamp of his ap

proval, would change all this fundamentally and irrevocably. Upon our self chosen national government would be superimposed an appointed international government, the nine men composing the league's executive council. Thus in the beginning the very keystone of our arch of national sovereignty and independence is sent crashing down. To complete the ruin, this constitution places the ultimate control of our foreign treaties and policies, of the size and disposition of our army and navy, of many vital points of our domestic affairs such as immigration, taxation and the tariff, all under the control of the eight foreigners and one American who will form this executive council. If these things can not be so what then is the real interpretation, in the proposed constitution, of articles 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 19, and 21? The proponents of this proposed constitution, however, feebly, if at all, deny these effects will accompany the adoption by our nation of this particular international measure. Most of them regard and recommend these things as beneficial, as guarantees of eternal international peace. But are these vital and far reaching concessions, is this surrender of American sovereignty, the only manner in which international freedom from wars of aggression or mistaken national pride can be assured? Is Universal Empire the only solution, the best answer?

An Experiment That Comes High The futility of the principle of bolshevism is thus set forth by the Kansas City Star: Evidently it doesn't help a man if his wages are raised and he has to pay $7.50 for a black bow tie or $1.00 for a pair of shoes. Yet this is the sort of situation that has resulted in Russia according to the first hand observation reported by Frazier Hunt. Theoretically Utopia has come. In practice the old problems of providing food and clothing and shelter for the family remain and are increasing in difficulty. The trouble is that it continues to be something of a job to run factories and stores and railroads and other industries. Only a comparatively few men develop the necessary qualities. It is the same way in every department of human activity. The war produced only one Marshal Foch, just as the Civil War produced only one Grant and one Lee. There are only a few great writers and speakers. In the existing competitive system of industry the men who have the stuff in them to conduct business successfully do come to the top. Not all of them, of course. Accident has something to do with success, and some boys are brought up under conditions in which they have no chance to show their capacity. But in a rough way the men with the qualities to conduct business successfully fight their way to the top. The Schwabs and the Fords and the Hoovers are simply the conspicuous examples of a process that is going on in industries throughout the country. Also, in general, the only way these men can make a success is by serving the community. They have got to be efficient producers of steel or motor cars, or mines, if they are to get anywhere. The Russian Bolsheviki have tried to make a clean sweep of these natural organizers and to substitute men elected from the ranks of the workers for the place. It is an interesting experiment. Interesting, but enormously costly for the Russian people. So far the men so elected haven't been able to deliver the goods. At least they haven't been able to deliver anything like such quantities of goods as the men they displaced. In time the right men will fight their way to the front and will take charge of industry again. Meanwhile the Russian people are suffering and many of them dying. Experience is a hard school, but apparently the Russians will learn in no other.

Lauds of the Lost Battalion Press dispatches say that Lieut. Heinrich Prinz, whose troops opposed the "lost battalion", had expressed the hope that he will soon be able to personally congratulate Col. Whittlesey, its commander. It will be recalled that the laconic reply which Col Whittlesey made to the overture of a surrender was an emphatic one. Even if the reply was clothed in sulphurous language, it embodied the spirit of the American people in showing their' contempt for surrender while there was still a fighting chance. Col. Whittlesey's rejoinder has been used untold times

by Americans in other connections, and the phrase was not an addition to our profane vocabulary. Americans have been accused for many decades of being the most profane people on the face of the earth. Few of them have worried about the charge, so that Col. Whittlesey'sreply was a pretty true reflection of one of our alleged national weaknesses. We are wondering whether Col. Whittlesey will use the same expression in his reply to the request of Lieut. Prinz for a meeting.

Mid-week prayer meeting, Thurs- Marlatt I well remember

what is now 306 North Fifth street, which was then Pearl street. "I was there shortly after the alarm and it was then ablaze from end to end. It was hinted that it was not entirely accidental. It was rumored also that the old bridge was not considered safe. "In about five days the trestlework was done and tested by sending two locomotives across it, and in time, it was replaced by an iron bridge and in turn by the present double track bridge. . "I remember the occasion of the man riding his horse in the night over the first wooden bridge. It was covered with tin from: the rails to the edge of the bridge and it was plain to be seen that the horse had walked over the bridge in a space of about two feet, as he slipped occasionally. "About that time,. William Ratrey and others had the pleasure resort at Butler's Grove and used the bridge as a road from town to their place and were well patronized. Now, I would like to hear from some one that celebrated the close of the Civil war when the wooden awnings were burned for bonfires."

From the Kansas City Star. ADOPTION of the plans to expedite highway construction under the enlarged program recently authorized by Congress is expected to result in more miles of roads being constructed this year than in any previous year in the Nation's history. Secretary of Agriculture Houston announced in. a statement issued today. If all states take advantage of the opportunity offered and make available for road building amounts equal to those apportioned by federal road officials ($171,900,000), a total of 1343.800,000 may be expended. , As the result of a conference March 1 between the secretary and the highway commissioners of Eastern and Middle Western states the Department of Agriculture, through the bureau of public roads, has taken up with the Railroad Administration the question . of freight rates, which are represented as being one of the principal obstacles In the way of active resumption of highway 'building. The matter is under consideration by government railway officials and a decision is expected soon. Secretary Houston has also taken up with Secretary of War Baker the "question of releasing army highway engineers in order that their services may be utilized. "During the war," Secretary Houston says in his statement, "it was necessary to curtail road construction becaw of the- difficulties of obtaining transportation,

Materials and services. Now that the situation has changed the work will be resumed and vigorously prosecv.ted, notwithstanding conditions are still abnormal la 3ome respects, especially with reference to the prices of materials. It is not believed the people of the nation can wait for prices to recede before beginning industrial operations. Such hesitation will add to the difficulties instead of lightening them." Secretary Houston then discussed the amount of money available and said it is so great he doubted whether states in all cases will take up their share of the funds offered by the federal government until 1920. Under the federal laws. Secretary Houston says, the various state highway departments have been strengthened and developed most satisfactorily and he pointed out that the existence of a central highway agency in nearly every state activity co-operating with the Department of Agriculture makes it possible to speed up road building more rapidly than any other branch of public works. The road constructs officials of the Department of Agriculture, the statement asserts, plan to maintain the c!osest possible touch with the state highways departments and It is contemplated the American Association of State Highway Officials will be requested to designate some of its members to serve on an advisory committee to co-operate with the department in the administration and execution of the federal aid road act

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK THE CHARM OF THE UNKNOWABLE It's the unknowable that makes us know! It's the charm of the imagined possibilities of things that both leads and drives us all toward wonderful accomplishment The great engine rolling into its station with its magnificent line of coaches filled with busy minds, seems commonplace enough in Its way yet everything was once the Invisible in the brain of a man who saw' that train on its track. Even the motive power driving the engine is Invisible. - i The talking machine the telegraph the telephone, the aeroplane, the wireless, unbelievable things at one time just mere Imaginings floating around in the grey of a man's head the Invisible made visible! There is no inspiration no fascination, excepting In the stimulus wrapped within the Invisible. If a man could see his Job finished, he would probably change his attitude ot work at once. And perhaps spoil everything. Feeling things In the Invisible makes a man more sure as well as more determined. Edison's famous storage battery lived for yearB in the Invisible. Into thousands of experiments did he delve before the thing produced became a success. But the very fact of the ungraspable is what Inspired him to bring out something practical and useable. Gravity electricity heat thought all invisible things. Greatness is Invincible! Merely because you cannot see your life a year ahead is no reason for present discouragement. The great thing about attempting big things is that there Is a certain thrill attached to the "believed-im-" possible" that in itself accomplishes work-a-day miracles. Dream away! One of your greatest assets Is your ability to imagine.

Mr. Packington of Chicago, visiting in New York, was introduced to a lady as from the growing town. "Ah," she smiled, with the keen synicism of the effete east "From Chicago. I suppose you have Indians out there?" "Yes, madam, some," he replied humbly. Ah! Aren't you afraid of being BCcllpSd? "Not now, madam; not now," he responded, with profound sincerity. "I was, before I came to New York, but having been skinned as I have by these New York Indians, I consider scalping by our Chicago breed as a mere bagatelle." Then there was a lull In the conversation. "Prof. Pate 13 a very remarkable man. He attended every showing of a certain movie serial, whereas persons of less persistence usually give it up after witnessing half a dozen instalments, discouraged over being unable to discover what it is about But the professor stuck to the bitter end." "Ah! And did he finally learn what he wished to know?" "No. He says he did not expect to he able to find out what it was about

but he is much disappointed at being j x i a. --.i1.4- I

"I don't like the way this road is run," said the Irritable passenger. "What right have you to kick, compared to me?" said the conductor. "You only have to make this trip once in a while."

"With me," said the tall man, "life is just one exposure after another." "What is your business?" "I'm a photographer." "Well, life is Just one exposure after another with me, too." "Is that so?
