COVENANT OF THE LEAGUE OP NATIONS.
"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.

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.

Hair of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it. then you
destroy It entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when re
tiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in, gently with the
finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all. of your dandruff will
be. gone, and three or four more ap
plications will completely dissolve
nad entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it. no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times bet
ter.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never 'fails to do the work.
