Criticism of Constructive Kind. The constitution of the leuguc of nations, whatever its merits, is not a sacred document, too holy for criti cism. It is proper enough for any American citizen to crilicizc it pro vided his criticism is honest- und con olruclivc. U goes without saying that no com ment for or against this document should lie made from n personal or pntti.san standpoint. The personality of President Wilson or the character of the political party to which ho be longs has nothing to do with the mat ter. The thing at issue is a plan for 0 league of nations, tentatively adopt ed by the peace conference and sub mitted to the public of this and the other allied countries for approval. Do the people want this plan, or anything like It? Huving taken up the subject on thin sensible basis, the fionest critic should feel obliged to comment not as an en emy, but ns a friend. For there is no question that this nation and all the ' other nations concerned vnnt some sort of league of nations. The only question is, what sort of league? With what powers? Working through what agencies? The fair critic Is bound, then, not to condemn the constitution flatly he- cause it is imperfect. He should point out the imperfections in a friendly spirit and suggest remedies for them. This is the constructive method, lie makes himself a ciillulioriiUir of the prare conference, nut as an enemy de . tcrmincd to make it a failure. Of such rvitiei-m there cannot lie too niii'h. Hut of the critiv-istp that merely snarls at leal or supposed de fects without offering any helpful sug gestions, there cannot he too little. Are Not Citizens, but Meddlers. throw the government. No sacred right of revolution can In invoked in their ise, because the American political institutions providt ull the machinery necessary for bring ing abouta revolution by peaceful pro cesses whenever it may seem neces sary. ''When our own citizens desire te change the form of government, they can do so peacefully in the maimer provided by the constitution. If we cannot make progress by the peace ful method of discussing and voting, we are not likely to make progress by the riotous process of 'cuBjing' and shooting.

K plying to n certain pr.-rlern labor organization vvhieh protected, the sec n taiv points out that the authority for his action is given by the immiKin tV,n lav.' ''xuppo'-led by the Federation of l.nlKir, of uhich you are a part."

They have not even been denied access to the courts. And "most of them pre fer to abide by the department's de cislon." Information Should Be Sought by All. '' Preceding the special election to be held in this state in June there should lie nainstakimr effort on the part of all to become thoroughly informed on all features of the question at issue. This will likely, and very properly, iicsume the aspects of a regular politi cal campaign, with the exception that the merits of the proposition which if to he put before the people is the thing to be considered, instead of the fitness of a candidate for office. There is ample time for the people to become acquainted with the bond ing proposition, and no citizen will be doing his whole duty to himself and to the stato who dooa not get himself fully posted so that he may be able to vote accurately and intelligently on the big issue that is to.be decided one way or tho other by the voice of the people of tho stnte. . Full swing should also be 'nllowul for everyone to express his views and opinions. It is a big movement and one that should be decided wholly on its merits, and with Intelligent study nnd no failure to get out nnd vote such a decision will be reached, nnd all should be democratic enough to accept the decision of the people ns expressed at the polls.
