Tlutt the loague of nations, If America were a member of it, would throw Euro pea u contt'overttles Into Amorican politics, bocouse of our largo foreign -born population, is the opinion oxprenacil by the Republican Publicity Association In a statement Jnsuud today by ita president, Hon. Johnathan i(ourne, Jr. The state ment which piesents a new view of the league. Is as foUovB- "One of the r.iost vicious features of the leaguo oi nutlons, In Its at tack upon our domestic poace, 'is the fact that once foreign govern monts have a voice in our affairs it Is inevitable that a large portion of the people of this country will divide thoniHOlvos into groups, each AnierJcoji ltnd something fuse, or Ht til more lluely, each something fHe first and Amorirun afterward We h.ive seen Hornet hintr of that surely enough to can ho us to take wurniug. '"So a. league of nations instead of promoting Americanlsin and ce montltig us Into a ffinglo nation of patriotic people will cause a Hegru gation in Interest of many people from many nationalities of Europe, each with a reservation of nrlnd whenever its own foreign nation's interest is at stake. It will make the United States an unthlnkahlr sort of n nation and one without capacity o iprotect itself from a diversified disloyalty within Its own borders. "Once wo are mlomhers of the Leaguo of NutioiiH overy other mem ber of the league will hnve n vory positive Interest In our domestic as well as foreign affairs. Our elec torate will be of immense Interest to these foreign governments and next to their own voters ours will be nf Importance. "Wo have soon enough of propa ganda to know that every nation depending upon our support of Its Jown policies will seek to shape our public opinion according to its own pattern and there will be a power ful incentive for persistent propa ganda, and ulong aside of propa ganda will go a spy system as a necessary 'means of directing and will be a fruitful stamping ground for Intriguing diplomats and propa gandist from all the great natlona of the earth. To make matters worse the propagandists will have a sort or official standing under the Leaguo of Nat ion h and we would find it difficult to resent their acti vities, nlthough when wholly inde pendent of them we could take posi tive measures In mi p press them. "Wo all know that when wo call the neighbors 'into our family ou Ur iels the result Is a divided house. Wo have had our own domestic differences and have fought them nut In the forum mid at the ballot box and nt the end of otir most Intense political battles wo have ac cepted thG verdict af the ballot box until the battle could again be waged at dho next oleetfon. All ih is Iuih been In such friendly spirit s to cause wonder that the heat of political battle would so soon be cant aside and It haa been possible because wo have faith that whatever difference of opinion have pro vailed, our people were Americans, simply dividing In their views ns to what has been best for the wel fare of our common country. There has seldom been any HUHpicion Hint any portion of the electorate has acted for the benefit of any foreign rou n try. "Hut vlth a League of Nnt'ions there will b,. a very pottf tive sus picion Unit In I.eautie qurHtions nf fecting t tie welfare of other cotin t ilea ntiiul prejudices will away otherwise well meaning men "This Is a weakness f the LesRiie that applies to us alone nmoim all the nutlons of the earth. It cannot apply to England or Krance for (tMiimii" or Italy or any other member of the League because their population has been ttiniouchty na itonaHzed by centuries of unity of interest "We should benr In mind that n bouse divided ngalmd: It sell must surely full." A search warrant Is not necessary to locate the plunderers. Thoy will be Uound In the Iron and steel In dustries, the woolen manufacturers, the leather goods manufacturers, the flouring mills trust, middle men. Jobbers, in some instances the re tailers, and a lot more industries. Begin on those fellows, and then let Mr. Wilson's railroad adininfstra ttn show good fulth by placing freights where they ought to be. and return to normal conditions will be on. The senate is o(iiully responsible powr. President Wilson hue pre sumed tv arrange me stage setting for peace and his leaguo ot nations, he h imself being the chief attraction to the arrangouiuutaiid demands that the senate "sign here." When ask ed for documents bearing upon the questions involved. President Wil son refuses to submit them to the senate, alleging that It Is best that the Issues be kept secret. The vei v first of Mr. Wilson's "fourteen points" read like this: "Open coven ants of peace (openl;- arrived at." That was a voluntary promise made to the poople to keep them inform ed. Now why should the senate be censured for (demanding that the president moke good his word? Gold 6oakt Through Rock. Not many years ago everyone be Itfeved In the "marine" theory of gold. In other words, gold was originally deposited In reefs by the action of -sea water, and the fine, placer gold, which Is the cause of all big "gold rushes," Ih almply gold reef washed Into dust Sy weather and by water. The new er Idea is Hint mineralizing solutions currying up gold from the depths-r liavc risen along the planes of least resistance, and that the gold litis thus teen deposited In the reefs and rocks I where it Is found. Thut gold does soak through rock is pro veil uejond doubt. In certain old mines In Aus trails which were abandoned many years ago nnd have since been re opened, not only have the rock de posits been found to be richer than they were thirty or forty years ago, hut also the old beams and timbers huve been found to be Impregnated with gold.
