' "Four Essential Amendments" The Chicago Tribune editorially proposes four amendments to the proposed league of nations' constitution that should appeal to all real Ameri

cans.? Those inhabitants of our country who would reduce it to the status of a province of the proposed superstate-how redolent that is of the late and unlamented German term superman will ' notice, that these four amendments leave the United States a free and sovereign nation. The Tribune editorial follows: There are at least four provisions in the league constitution which cannot be allowed to stand. .. v"' First, the one which gives England six votes in the assembly to our one. This provision rele

gates us to a position of inferiority we will not!

tolerate, one analogous to that against which we successfully rebelled a century and a half ago. An amendment will be of f ered to the senate giving the United States in the league of nations the position of an equal partner with Great Britain. When such an amendment is offered and voted upon- -"wili -be interesting to see what senators will go on record as voting for America's resubjugation. ... Second, grave doubt is still expressed as to the position of the Monroe doctrine in the league of nations. The Tribune was chiefly instrumental in having the Monroe doctrine specifically acknowledged and feels no small amount of patriotic satisfaction in what has been accomplished in this direction, but if doubt still exists as to

The Tiger May Retire Premier Clemenceau, feeling that he has accomplished the task for whoch he assumed the premiership of France, has expressed his inten

tion of retiring as soon as the treaty is formally

signed. . Assuming direction of the French policy at the darkest hour of his nation's history, Premier Clemenceau brought order out of chaos, inspired his people with a new sense of national dignity and responsibility, encouraged the soldiers to new heroism, and by ceaseless vigilance and the exercise of the highest type of statesmanship contributed a major portion to the allied success. Few premiers of the French republic or of the entente nations were confronted with the problems that demanded solution when Clemenceau assumed the duties of premier. His nation had been undermined by an insidious pro-German propaganda that had is source in high places and had almost wrecked the republic on the shoals of sedition and treason. He had to solve not only gigantic problems of military policy but also had to contend against traitors who were enthroned in high places. It took leonine courage and adamantine faith to make France an effective agent in the face of these obstacles. Triumphant over all, Premier Clemenceau now seeks retirement. His work is done.

If we wish to enter upon this experiment the door must be left open for a withdrawal in case the experiment prove disastrous. If a confidence game has been put over our peace delegation there must be a means -of exit for a sadder and a wiser nation. We cannot leave a chance for triumphant diplomats' to say, "You have entered into this bondage, the door is closed, you are now our vassal, there is no escape." ' When these essential amendments and perhaps others ho less essential have been adopted by the senate they will be forwarded to England,

a - . i The American FederatiotTof Labor : : ; : "X :

From the Outlook. THE sessions of the annual convention at Atlantic City, of the Americacu Federation of Labor, which' has a membership of over three millions, are still Koing on as we write, and the final declarations still remain to be formulated. But several interesting indications show the" trend and present feeling of the convention. One such indication is the determination to break

down the color barrier in the Federation and to admit Negro workers to the privileges of its unions. This is not only a recognition of the fact that industrl&us and ambitious colored men are to be judged industrially upon their merits and not upon their race, hut it indicates a growing interest in the federation as to social advance. So also does the earnest recommendation by a special committee to the Federation that it should urge tradeunionists to seek representation on boards of education and should help in Americanization by adult education and night classes. The federation is. and has been through the war, strongly patriotic Its executive council, in commending to the convention the League of Nations, puts its reason for doing so on the ground that "it places human relations upon a new basis and endeavors to enthrone right and justice instead "of strength and might as the arbiter of international destinies." The same feeling was expressed in President Gompers opening address, when he said: "The war haa brought into play new thoughts of the rights of man, has brought Into play and dereloped the thought that the. relations between nation and nation must be better

than they have ever been in the history of the world." One of the most interesting features of the convention has been the address by Secretary Wilson, of the department of labor. Among his declarations must applauded was that'"Anierican labor would never take seriously to Bolshevism and that it would never reach more serious proportions than local disturbances. Our wageearners are not going to stand for any system that will lower their standards of living. They are not going to listen to Bolshevism." , Secretary Wilson opposed the formation of a labor party and analyzed the difference as to this policy be

tween labor in this country and in Great Britain. He spoke moderately and sensibly about the proposal to enter into a strike demonstration because of the Mooney case, telling his hearers that the labor department was still bringing efforts to bear for a satisfactory termination of the matter, pointing out that the judge and jury in the Mooney case are not charged with unfairness and that such a demonstration proposedly would be an attack on 'ur jury system, and adding that in his own investigation, at the president's request, it appeared, that the real trouble was that "witnesses had not been honest in their testimony and new evidence has been secured that warrants a new trial." The federation of labor represents the more conservative element in industrial questions, for its members are largely skilled and well-paid workers. . There are radicals among them, but even they are not likely to give any countenance to the doctrines of "Reds" Anarchists or Bolshevist.

fountain; and I swear to thee by that foam from which Aphrodite rose, that the rays of the dawn passed right through her body. I thought that when the sun rose she would vanish before me in the light, as the twilight of morning does. Since then I have seen her twice; and since, then,-too,

I know not what rest is, I know not what other desires are, I have no wish to know what the city can give me. I want not women, nor gold, nor Corinthian bronze, nor amber, nor pearls, nor wine, nor feasts; I want only Lygia." Thus did Vinlcius, young Roman patrician of the time of Nero, announce his love for Lygia, daughter of a kin, beautiful hostage from her nation, forgotten in the turmoil of the world-empire and brought up as a Roman girl. Vinicius was speaking to his uncle Petronius, known to his own time as to us as Arbiter Elegantiarum, trained in all the art and beauty of Greece, wise, witty and learned, gaily staking his life in his daily battle of wits with Tigellinus, who provided for the grosser desires of the tyrant Nero as Petronius did for his finer and more artis

tic ones. It was a time when the conflicting tides of a pagan age, sadjy degenerate from the sturdy days of pristine Roman virtues, mingled with those of a new era in the world, only recently

neraiaea trom Judaea. In the complicated threads of the picture of Roene, capital of the world, appear the figures of Peter and Paul, on their mission of spreading the new religion of Christ; Poppaea, wife of Nero, beautiful as a dream, but wicked as a nightmare; Eunice, the charming slave of Petronius; Chilo, wily Greek who can be Christian or pagan as profit leads him; Ursus, prodigious in his strength, simple as a child in his faith in Christ and his devotion to Lygia (from whom G. B. S. may havo drawn a suggestion In "Androcles and The Lion"); and many minor folk who help to make the story stand out as unusually human among the numerous tales Of Greco-Roman times. When Vinicius told his uncle Petronius of his passion for Lygia, the latter thought nothing was easier than to provide his nephew with what he

regarded as a new plaything: a word

to Nero, who as emperor had all hostages in his care summon the maiden to the palace hand her over to the young patrician as her guardian what more could be needed to satisfy everyone's desires.especially as the maiden manifestly was pleased with Vinicius? But Petronius and hi3 nephew reckoned without a new force that had entered into this Roman world. They could not understand a girl who had fled Nero's court and all its magnificence, fled even from tho lover whom she loved. But "finally he understood this, which he and "Petronius had not understood, that the new religion engrafted into the soul something unknown to that world In which he lived, and that Lygia, even if she loved him, would not sacrifice any of her Christian truths for hi3 sake, and that, if pleasure existed for her. it was a pleasure different altogether from that which he and Petronius and Caesar's court and all Rome were pursuing. Every other woman whom he knew might become his mistressbut that Christian would only become his victim. And when he thought of this, he felt anger and burning pain, for he felt that his anger

was powerless. To carry off Lygia i seemed to him possible; he was even'

ouie iuhi ne couia do so, Dut he was equally sure that, in view of her re

ligion, ne himself with his bravery was nothing, that his power was nothing, and that through it he could effect nothing. That Roman military tribune convinced that the power of the sword and the fist which had conquered the world, would command it forever, said for the first time in his life that beyond that power there might be something else; hence he asked himself with amazemeit what it was." It is a very definite and concrete way that the author has chosen to show the power of the new religion over human lives. Struggle as he would, backed by birth, by wealth and all the beauty, charm and allurements that wealth could bring, by the ingenuity and wit of Petronius, by the strong-arm methods of Croton, champion bruiser of his time, even by the force of the known world in Nero's sway, Vinicius could accomplish nothing if all he could win to himself was a mere unwilling body, while soul and spirit were beyond his grasp. And

the maddening part to him was that

he owed all his troubles to the leach

ings of a parcel of Jewish fishermen

or their likes, or slaves or humble folk i

who had never before entered into : serious consideration in the thoughts of patrician like himself. It was a long struggle with him, and as the reader follows the various people of; the story through their part of the i action, he gets an admirable picture of Rome Nero, tyrant, actor and artist, with all his magnificence and all his debaucheries; the poor and humble in their crowded quarters of the great city; the delight of all the senses in the life led by Petronius; the lawless streets of Rome by night; the pursuit of Lygia by Vinicius and his hirelings, resulting in the death of his profes

sional bruiser Croton at the hands of the faithful Ursus, and the disaster to Vinicius which led to his nursing back to health by the Christians; his meeting with Peter and Paul; the gradual opening of his eyes, physical and spiritual; his discovery of Christians everywhere, among the people, among his own slaves, among soldiers and others, even in the very court of Nero. And the growing worry and astonishment of Petronius : " 'Vinicius, thou art losing sense, judgment, moderation, exclaimed Petronius. "T love only her in the world, responded Vinicius. " 'What of that?' "'This, that I wish no other love. I have no wish for your life, your feasts, your shamelessness, your crimes." '"What is taking place In thee? Art

thou a Christian?' And then the great fire of Rome, set by Tigellinus that Nero might not lack the experience of Priam who had seen Troy burn; the wild ride of Vinicius from Antium to the capital In the hope of rescuing Lygia from the

flames ; the persecution of the Christians with the thought of throwing on them the rage of the people at tho burning of the city; the singling out of Lygia by the hate of Poppaea because Vinicius had spurned the Empress's proffered charms; the final rescue by a miracle of strength on the part of the ever-faithful Ursus, and the words of Vinicius to Peter: " 'What thou commandest I will do.' " 'Love men as thy own brothers,' answered the. Apostle, 'for only with love mayest thou serve Him.' " Copyright, 1919. by post Publishing

For Winning is not necessarily gaining but attaining reaching a great point far beyond the one from which you started. Never give up! Most folks fail far from the goal because they never actually, with their minds eyes, see the goal. Never give up! There are few who do not leal like giving up many, many times. And the greater the task, the more certain is the man to get this feeling again and again. It was only after hundreds and hundreds of experiments, that Edison's storage battery proved to, suit him. Never give up! A dozen attempts were made , to bore under the Hudson river across from New York to New Jersey. But one man went to the job and put it thru because he didn't give up.
