PEACE MUST DE GUARANTEED. There are men In Washington who want the peaoe conference .dmrly to "make peace with Germany, and Ko home." As If that would end the matter! Peace conferences have done that very thin, many a time. The congress of Vienna did it, in winding up the Napoleonic wars. And always, soon, war blazed out aain, culminating finally In the worst of all wars. "The arrangement of the present peace canqot stand a generation," rays I'res't Wilson, "unlesn they are guaranteed by the united forces of the civilized world."

SHALL SCHOOLS GROW WORSE? "No ptT-son who is nt t take the time and money and opportunity of the children of this Kreut democratic republic for the purpose of Utting them for life, for making a living and for virtuous citizenship should he asked to work for P-ss than Jl.OuO a year in any community or in any .-.täte." This J the conclusion of United States Commissioner of Kducatlon Claxton. who wants to see a large Increav,. in falarie of school teachers. Many of th i teachers are leaving the .schools for better paid positions. In Washington, they get more a.s 'elevator operator Th- place p.ft vacant "are taken by men and women of le natlv abnity ew rduca,lün anJ culture, an.! -less training .and experience. .Many of the places are not filled at all.

The Sinn Feiners are said o be determined that there shall be no League of Nations unless, Ireland is admitted as an independent member. If that ia the purpose of their present propaganda, it is a good way not to help Ireland. '

'SELF-DETERMINATION" FOR IRELAND

The Irish problem is forced upon the attention of the American people again, as the result of a convention of the Friends of Irish Freedom held in Philadelphia, and the widespread propaganda of which thU has been a part. The" spokesmen for Irish freedom i-ow have a specially strong appeal, since they ask all Amrnrmm to apply to Ireland the same rule that

America stands for in the Paris peace conference, the!

"sc'f-dt'tf rmination of peoples." This point has been ably presented py Cardinal Gibbon and many other loading Irish-Americans. They urge the American public to appeal to the Paris conference, asking it "to recognize the right of the people of Ireland to select for themselves, without interfer

ence from any other people, th form

under which in future they shall live." Most Americans would gladly help Ireland, if they could. There will be, r.o doubt, much American intluence brought to bear at Paris, along the line desired. The task, however, is a dirhcult one made dirhcult by the Irish people themselves. In the case of ery other small nationality whosi ilaims are presented at the peace conference, there is omparattvt ly little diMerence of opinion among the people concerned. The nation knows what it wants, and i organize,! t- get it. "Self-determination" ther"-f-re b. forr.es fairly simple, b-u the Pari conference may inquire, how is s-!f-d termm.itiou to be applied to Ireland? Th re was an xperim. ut m that direction made dur;:;g the p.4?u. j ear. The IU itis!i government invited all pohtical. religious and business factions of Ireland to get together liiid .igree on a plan of homo rule, virtually promising to endorse any system they might o',ve. hört of absolute independence. The convention mt ami debated for months, and nothing cu.me of it. South Ireland and North Ireland could not agreIf the people of Ireland could not last year "select f-T t!i :nM Ivc-, without interference from any other people, the form of government under which in future the shall ii'. e." how can they be expected to do so this

t unite the nations. He has been marvelously succtssful in bringing into agreement men who represented interests that seemed to be contlicting. His inüuence in this work has prevailed because all the other nations representd looked upon him us a wise and impartial friend, interested only in making justice and the welfare of peoples the basis of the decisions reached. His triumph in .securing unanimous approval of the league of nations constitution is one in which every American may take pride. Mr. Wilson has a dreadful way with his critics. He does not reply to them, he does worse. They . rail at him as an idealist, a visiunary, a man without practical objectives, or if he have them, that they are impossible of acceptance; and they obligingly point out the things, he ought to do. Mr. Wilson calmly continues his great labors, and presently lays his critics Hat and Paves them helpless either by doing the very things they had proposed, and doing in a manner better than they ever dreamed of. or else by attaining his ends in a way that robs their objections of every point. We are confident that Mr. Heck, for illstance, must regret the violence of the language he used in his Lincoln day address when ( he said that Mr. Wilson's foreign policy throughout "has been a black stain of dishonor upon the American people;" that "his principles have been a crazy patchwork of contradictions." consistent only in one idea, that the war "must nd In a peace without victory." If thbi hj; st criticism, then Mr. Wilson has as his accomplices in dishonoring the American people, In constructing "his crazy patchwork of contradictions," and in brinsing the war to an end without victory, some I t nations of the earth, including the greatest civilid nations. Such criticism recoils disastrously upjn him who utters it. Not even the natural desire of a great political party to find or create "Issues" for the coming presidential election caa give lodgment in the minds and hearts of the people of this estimate of Mr. Wilson's distinguished service. The day when the project of the covenant of peace was approved unanimously in Paris was one of the greatest in the world's history. The people of all the nations understand that; the people of America, with their horror of war, cannot be fooled about it, they cannot be misled into any small and narrow view of its momentous promise. In bringing the plan of the h ague into form and acceptance, Mr. Wilson has played a master role, every American feels that in hLs heart, every American understands that he brought great abilities, extraordinary qualities, of tact and persuasion, and a profound understanding of the need of all the people to the performance of his task. The American people will be Impatient of any petty or partisan obstruction put In the way of the acceptance of this covenant of the nation as their public system of law ami justice.

Mil. TAFT APPLAUDS LEVCtC (New York World.) "All who have pressed for a league of nations to maintain peace and prevent war must thank God is they read the provisions of the constitution' of thu league Ujon which the nations in conference at Paris have agreed." says former Pres't Taft, in a copy-

of government lighted editorial in the Philadelphia Ledger.

" Pres't Wilson is, to be warmly congratulated, Mr. Taft graciously asserts, "that the league of natior.3 which he promised to the harassed allied peoples In his messages and addresses-and has urged before the conference, has taken such a form." "It is a real league. It has clinching and clnchln? provisions." Mr. Talt maintains in an able and comprehensive analysis of the covenant, which combats the criticism and should dispel the doubts of opponents of the league. The statement made in joint quarters that the constitution of the league at agTCt upon nullities tho Mt nroe Doctrine is sharply challe. ed by Mr. Taft. On this all-important question he say. "Article X covers the Monroe Doctrii. and extendi to the w orld. The league Is not a super-sc 'ereign, but a partnership intended to secure to us ai.1 all nations only the sovereignty we can properly ha I. e.. sovereignty regulated by international law and.m. -allty and consistent with the same sovereignty of other ia Hons. The United States is not under this constitutr u to be forced into actual war against its will. This leag:u Is to be regarded in conflict with the advice of Washington only with a narrow and reactionary viewpoint." Mr. Taft closes his editorial indorsement of the, league with the hope "that a forward-looking senate will not seek to defeat this grand advance of mankind toward a just and lasting peace. "Now that Pres't Wilson brings back to us a re! league, and has fully made good his announced pur pose, it would greatly please this country if the senators could give him unanimous support," Mr. Taft concludes. "The 1! nations have done ot why not the srrnte? Such action would be heard around the world with acclaim."

Undoubtedly the saddest thing about this government business of taking over the contents of th3 "bull pen" at the city hall to fell it at public auction ir. wme wet territory, according to one prominent booze ferret, 1 that South Bend citizens who enjoy drinking liquur will be, prevented from bidding in all or any part of the 2,000 gallon of confiscated whisky. The booze lerrit , explains that, even if one possessed sufficient money to pay the $3.40 a gallon revenue tax the government is- demanding cn this liquor, and ..for which it la to le auctioned off.-one would be runnlnr into trouble by buying it. In the fintpbace a South Hend cltüeen would be prevented from brlnslnff it home, for if. he did he wculd right away be arrtsted by the federal authorities on a charge of bringing liquor, into a dry state, and he would probably, also be arretted by Asst. Chief of Police .CasHidy on a charge of having the unlaw ful possession of. liquor. . - Then in addition to being arrested, the femt explains, ho., w'ould have the liquor for which lie just paid the governmet JU.40 .a gallon taken away from him -and put . back into the "bull pen" by the police as evidence against him. Then the government would come' along; atain, demand a revenue tax on the contents of the "bull pen," take tlve contents to wet Urritory again and sell It for -the revenue tax. ':.' No, the- situation' does not look very , promising for one w ishing'to buy liquor at a bargain. The price may e all right, but to one living in South Ilepd' there are too many attending difficulties, and the ferrit says that he himself will make no attempt to bid in even a part of the 2, 004) gallons when it is auctioned off at West Hammond or come other wet place. It looked for a little while Friday afternoon as if the lion nad gotten ahead of the schedule a little. Ain't no use lovin' Nothing to gain. Ain't no use eatin Jus' pain.

It is a very old, yet doubtful story, that the life of a reporter has no ups and downs. Not so sayth the reporter himself. Occasional the city editor, with anything but tears in his eyes, his face "bloomin" full of that which goes to make life unpleasant, says: "Go out and get a story." "But -where is there a story waiting," prompts the unlucky individual. With no satisfactory result or a compromise the reporter travels, he knows not where. SiuthYJend has peen times when news was hard to get if not impossible, nevertheless the trip began. One worthy newsgiver was pleaded to have a nCall made on him and extended a number of ideas which have been covered for the past few weeks. He suggested writing about the tiouslng situation in South Bend or something on the coliseum. These have been touched upon before until they are beyond reach of anything but the actual beginning. After being informed that the proposition was not new, but had been thoroughly threshed out he suggested the weather as a fitting subject, but reporters refuse to comment or trespass on another's beat, so the weather man was left alone. The only hope was that something very unusual would happen, or that another Jug of whisky be added to the bull pen at the city hall, which, by the way, would not be very unusual. As satisfaction always comes to those who stick around looking for it, it came to the nearly disappointed. A you will note by reading the story It is thrilling to the utmost, with those expressive stanzas which cause tears as well as laughter. The story in found in another place of this lue.

variably felt a happy little thrill of

possession, a Uttl pity for the other

have her, after all. Hat, for some inexplicable reason, the case with Bob Brooks seemed a bit different. Dick and Jean were chaperoning a gay party at young Urooks hunting lodge in the mountains, where most of tho guest were paired off in romantic fashion. All of them knew that Bob had invited tho pretty artist, Patricia Moore, for himself, for it was an acknowledged fact that the two had been engaged for months. But after a day or so in the mountains, Bob had eyes only for the dashing chapvnm. On the last nij?ht or' the hou party, they were having a big marshmallow toast before the Black Jack logs that burned in the wide mouthed fire placa in the comfortable living-room. Bob sat on a floor pil

artist was lovingly called, sat at

one side of the hearth in a wide winged chair, upholstered in deep

eyes. Once in a while, she touched a ukelcle, weaving a magic tpell with weird Hawaiin music. For the first time, Dick felt strangely disturbed over Jean's indiscretions. . Under the guise of light banter, he tried to analyze his own emotion1, to understand his change of attitude. He kept looking at Pat's face, at her somber, brooding eyes that at times, eeemed to ilame like the logs on the old brass andirons. He felt a great, over powering sorrow for her. little resentment Uared out aqainst Jean. What bunnes-s had she, a married woman, to take the girl's lover and leave her alone, humiliated in a crowd or her friends? He had no more feeling about Bob himself than he would have had about a clumsy puppy that had, somehow, got himself in the way. Dick tried to do for Pat all the little things that mean eo much to a girl. He toasted marshmalloavs for her, asked her opinion about everything discussed, praised her singing, made her feel her importance in the crowd. Once Bob got up and crossed the room to speak to her and Dick was relieved, hoping that the boy would do his duty as host even If he had forgotten hU

lover like attitude. But in a few-

minutes time. Bob was b ick at Jean's feet. Dick glanced at Pat, saw the hungry, yearning lock in her eyes. He leaned over her chair. "Can't you dig up a warm coat some w he re and go down to the spring with me, Pat? It's moonlight, a wonderful sort of night. I'vo a notion that you and I will enjoy it." She Hashed him a pleased look, of acceptance and they went out together, unnoticed by the hilarious crowd in the room. She enveloped herself in a big blue coat and pulled a soft velvet tarn over her curly brown hair. Dick caught her arm and laughing, stumbling, slipping, they ran down the rough path to the spring. The moon rode high in the sky, sending a dazzling light that silvered the tips of the pines stretching away In an unbroken line down the mountain side. Here and there, in the valley below, like fitful iirc-fhes, lights showed dimly in peaceful farm houses. A little whispering wind went sighing through the trees. They sat down on a huge boulder that Jutted out at one side of tho spring, talking of art, of music, politics, of the vagaries of life and love. Dick turned and looked at her there beside him. "Do you know, Pat, that I've, never had a chance to get acquainted with you until tonight and yet, I've seen a lot of you for years? "That's funny. I feel that way about you, too. We have tastes In common, as people say, haven't we." Hhe laughed musically. There was not the faintest trace of unhappiness in her voice. Dick marveled a little at that.

! wondered about it. "You can meet

people casually at home for years and never really know anything about them. Then chance will throw you together at some out of the way place like this and suddenly you'll wake up to the fact that you've been missing something out of life, something big and fine." , "Yes. that' true." agreed Pat. "But is it chance? I wonder!" So they argued about it, told each other their creeds, their philosophies of life and found sympathetic undemanding. Finally Pat Jumped up. saying that it was hi-rh time they were going1 back to the lodge. they went up the rocky path together and Dick noticed how ßr.nly she walked, how Independent of his help he was, how capable of caring for herself. Most womenthere ws Jean, he thought sho would have leaned on him, stumbled, caught at his arm. He reflected how ideal married life could be ir both were honest, really mated

In every nense of the word. "I'm not going in just yet,' Dick said, holding the door of the lodge open for her. "Thank you for the pleasant chat we've had. It is a rare treat to talk to a clever girl like you. I want to look you up, often in town, if you'll let me. Good-night, Pat." lie s;at down on the steps, filled his pipe and lighted it. Presently the front door opened and a little figure whirled upon him, dropped down beside him, loaned against his shoulder. "Having a good time, all by your lonesome, Dick darling?" whispered Jean, her face just under his chin. "My, but it's chilly out here. Cuddle me up! I want to tell you something too funny!" .She laughed airily, like the tinkling of tiny bells. "Bob's In a perfect stew about Pat. he went out of the room and stayed for the longest time, he said. I don't knew for I didn't miss her. When she came in, lie jumped lor her. You would have thought he owned Her, body and sxul. That kind of a man makes me tlved. They're going to be married, you know, in the early spring. He asked her where she had been, said he had been worried to death. He simply fussed, before all of us. I think a woman has a right to do exactly as she pleas-js and you do, too, don't you, Dickie boy? Put your arm around me, honey. I'm cold." "You'd better go in to the fire then," said Dick, quite tonelessly. Jean stared at him, amazed, a sudden fear clutching at her heart. But Dick sat there puffing contentedly at Iiis big pipe, that had grown amber through long use. He did not even turn his head when Jean went back Into the lodge, r

BEWA1LE THI' POLITE KMIMIKS OF SOCICTY. Let no one imagine that public and private aflairs have no inter-relation, that public and private affairs are really separable. One's duties have a way of following one around wherever one goes. Public and private duties may be two different things, but the strings that tie them are too intricate for anyone to disentangle. Let no one think he can be a true reformer or patriot in public, ar.d a backslider or neutral in private. What ho does or neglects in one place will react on what he does in another. It is not enough to belong to the Good Government club If one lets the Intentional or unintentional enemies of good government g?t by in social circles, at the club, or wherever folk dc gather together and talk. Men and women abound who are enemies of the social order by which they live and often prosper, and who use its privileges and protection to undermine it. They escape because their friends have been their friends so long, and because most people don't see the harm they do, and because most people hate to be disagreeable and fear to mak a scene and because the defense againct this insidious kind of attack Is supposed to be nobody's business. It N usually impossible to convince or convert uch people, but it is usually not impoislble to make them fear the social penalties that may follow If they ar not careful. A. vast deal of good might be accomplished by scotching the destructive propaganda that works almost unnoticed In th very places where it can do moFt harm.--H.iroId A. Caparn, New York city.
