"In, order, to promote international cooperation and secure international peace . . . the powers signatory to this covenant ; adopt this constitution of the tEAGUE OF NATIONS." Another vision of the idealists, that cynics and materialists for centuries have held in scorn, has been brought to a practical reaiiza tion. Another goal in the path of human progress has been won. By the side of the Mairna Charta and the Declaration of Jnde pendence the third and, perhaps, greatest of all declarations of human rights has been transcribed. Future generations will doubt less agree that ttife evolution of. the League of Nations was in itself worth all the sacrifices of the great world war. For the present the arbiters of international destinies will be the five powers that broke the empire of. blood and iron builded by " Bismarck and Von Moltke. The high contracting powers will be composed of nine nations, each having a single vote. "The Five" are the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan. The four other places will not for the present be filled. ' j. Ten years ago a League of Nations in which Teuton. Turk and Slay were not represented would not have been regarded of first rate importance. 4gf But a new measure of national values was lixed by the world "war, and these three peoples, in place of dominating the destinies oi Europe, are placed on probation. The context of the twenty:six articles constituting the constitu tion of the League oft Nations establishes clearly that justice and international cooperation are the principles on which it is founded. Great Britain, with her peerless-navy; the TJnited States, with its vast economic forces; France, with her five armies, each equal in morale and superior in numbers' and equipment to the 'grande arraee" of Napoleon each erf these has pledged itself, without re- tserve, to the supporter the constitution of the League of Nations. Eaeh has subscribed to the principle of international dependence arid world democracy by limiting itself to representation by a single vote.- At the very hour when obstructionists in our own and other a 1 it -l a " . it 1 countries are declaring mat me-great nations ot me worm wouia never submit to such restrictions, THE LEAGUE OF "NATIONS IS . ESTABLISHED, and with so little friction or disturbance that there is not even a ripple on the great human sea. right! for embodying compulsory mil itary conscription in the new Ger man constitution: If Germany Is to adhere to military conscription she must not be surprised if the allied! nations and the United States extend the eastern boundaries of France to the Rhine. If Germany is again to assume the status of an armed camp France is fully justified in demand ing something more than a paper barrier to protect her frontiers. So much perfidy has come out of Germany in the last forty year that one would no more look for sincer ity from such a source than to see doves rlfiinj from a vultuie's nest. Even If the constitution were all that free peoples might debire and It never will be, so long as It contains that military conscription clause there would still be other guaran tees to exact befoie the security of neighboring people would be insur ed; for it is one thing to enroll un der the banner of justice and liberty anci vastly different to win victor ies for them; . During the last four years the al lies have learned that German "kul- tur" is adept at assuming masks; it has as many disguises as there Were suits in the kaiser's wardrobe; but each conceals the same treacherous, crafty, unscrupulous Hun. President Ebert and Chancellor Scheidemann have hastened to assure the allies that all this perfidy of the past em anated from the military aristocracy and that that caste has been abolish ed in Germany, never to be leform ed. Fair assurances these; but the Paris cables assert that the allied war council has discovered that Ger many and Austria are preserving war materials sufficient to equip 3,000, 000 men at short notice. So lou,?, as Germany continues to be an ar senal her professions concernlns peace and .free government will carry but scant conviction. The surprising part of it all Is that the German leaders themselves should fail to realize the futility of such a policy. The allies are not con cerned about the title by which tne new German government shall- be known, but with what that govern ment really Is and what it represents. They demand a stable government representing all the German states. a government that can be intrusted with, carrying out the terms of the final peace treaty, that can be held responsible if the terms ot the trea ty are broken. The opening session of the new German assembly has failed to inspire confidence. Senator Fall of New Mexico has apparently lined up with Borah and Poindexter in doing the Cataline hesitation for the delectation of the doubting Thomasas and unbelieving Saracens of the reaction ary fag-ends of the world. Fall has fallen by the wayside with the weary Willies and the Bolshevist baboons who look with suspicion upon anything that is not blood-rusted with the precedents of the past. Fall sends word from the shade of the cactus under which he is lolling in New Mexico that he will not attend the conference of President Wilson at the White House to talk over the proposed League of Nations. These contumacious Senators take themselves 60 seriously and tragically that they are comic. ! V" . ' , , Mint growing in th$ Willamette Talley iff assuming considerable importance.

FROM A WOMAN VOTER Editor Statesman: The word "comedy" used In re porting the result of the woman's Jurymen bill, reminds me of old times, when every effort of our wo men for suffrage was treated as com edy. I thought our men had pro gressed, and one legislator from east ern Oregon .said he' did not believe the men of weteii Oregon had moss on their backs, but these re suits show moss on somebody's brain. Why do they consider our women less Intelligent than those of our sister j ttates that have granted their wo men this privilege. If women are tried by Jury, women should have the right to Judge them and citizen ship should be alike for all. I would call attention to the many measures that have been aided and carried by our women's vote that have counted more for our stage's progress and the betterment of people than in all time before. I am sure this and several other "Brother Feels Sick! He , . Wants a Candy Cascaret" To Mothers! You will avoiJ worry and trouble by giving your children Cascarcts instead of nasty Castor Oil, Calomel and Pills. Children look upon Cxscarets as Candy and never refuse them even when sfck, bilious, feverish, constipated. Besides Cascarcts cost only 10 cents a box. Nothing rl-e works the bile, sour fermentation and poison from a cliiM" tender stomach, liver and bowels like good old harmless Cascarcts. They never gripe, never injure, never disappoint the worried mother. Give Cascarcts to children aged one year and rtpward. Directions on each 10 cent box.

An atmosphere of -Insincerity per vades the whole "-procreding that brings to mind the xclimation of the Hebrew patriaich: "The hands are the hands of Ksau. but the voice is the voice of Jacob." The - national assembly elected a president, but he is the presidcnt of the German Empire. When a group of republicans sought to have the word empire changed to republic in the constitution they weiti beaten by a vote of tnore than three to one. A president of an empire is an an omaly which does not inspire confi dence. k President Ebert asserted in his ad dress to the assembly that military domination inv Germany was at an end and that the people were prcpar. rd to turn from war to peace.
