THE LEAGUE.
So far as we have been able to
ascertain, the league of nations Is
not a burning' question in these
parts. As yet -we have heard of nc
domestic quarrels over the subject,
. not yet any mild altercation. No
one has been before the police
judge because of too great vehem
ence in assailing or defending that
concommitant of the peace treaty.
Article X is less in folks' minds
than whether New York or Cincin
nati will come out on top.' We do
not much care whether the United
States takes, or' is, or is made the
mandatory over some backward spot
if only someone will assume a man
datory over the state highway com
mission an'd get some action on
The Dalles-California highway.
- In- short, we find very little dis
cussion of the subject." It is' not
in people's minds. - And yet we 'be
lieve that were a poll taken there
would be found an overwhelming
sentiment in favor of 'the peace
treaty as negotiated at - Versailles,
including the leajue of nations pact,
unamended. Fine spun technical
ities, arguments over the meaning
of phrases, do not interest us much.
. What we want to know is simply
' this: Will the league of nations
plan mean a step toward universal
peace? Will it mean that it will
be harder for any Germany of the
future to make war? Will the
I small state be freer from aggression
than in the past? t In the fnll be
lief that the answer to these ques-
1 tions is "Yes," we favor the league
' as proposed.
, . Standpat Republicans and Repub
licans who are trying to gather to
themselves presidential nomination
support stand out against peace. In
so doing they help our country not
at all. What the country wants
is peace and a congress devoted to
some of . the domestic problems
which are crying for solution.
Perhaps the league does take us
out of our - traditional isolation.
What war can "be waged in this
world that does not affect us?
How can we ( ' remain isolated?
When Germany started off in 1914
we sat back and thanked God that
we were on the other side of the
Atlantic and would batten on the
thing, that we were Isolated except
for the trade we would get out of
it. Then, slowly and slowly, and
slowly we began to get nearer, to
get interested, to get In, and finally
we joined up beause we could not
decently keep out any longer and
because we wanted to do what we
could to help end ail wars.. The
league. Is the next step toward that
end. .' ,
As we have said before, , perhaps
we do' lose some sovereignty. So
does everyone who comes in and
submits to the police authority. - It
is one of the. marks of civilization.
Perhaps we may have to play police
. In Armenia or Liberia. Very well.
Let'B do It if It will mean an end
to war and the sort of thing that,
even without war, goes on In the
play ground of the Turk. We once
assumed a mandatory for Cuba and
for the Philippines. The world Is
better because of what we did.
If it will be still better, If war
will he put further off by our asso
ciation in the league of nations, let
us join and join quickly.

NOT MERELY FISH STORIES
Showers of Sea Food From Sky Ara
Authenticated, According to
Magazine Writer.
Next time some one tells you of Its
ruining fish and frogs, don't Inuch; the
story limy ho true. There Is, for In
stance, record of n fish ruin In HWfl
that showered smelts all over Stan
steail parish in merry KiiKlnnd, says
Popular Science Miinaslne.
In Hilton Itouge. lu lStXV It mined
ducks, catbirds and woodpeckers.
We pause right here to say that sci
entists explain these showers by the
lifting power of the wind and the un
dent principle that wliut goes up
must come down; and you never can
be sure what Is up.
Getting down to 1017. John Lewis of
Ahcnliile, Wales, reports; "I was
startled by something fulling till over
me. . . . On putting my bund down
my neck I was surprised to find they
were little fish."
No less a person thnn Alexander
von Humboldt writes of n downpour
of fishes In the Amies which seemed to
be aided nnd abetted by a very active
volcano. The natives said they rath
er counted on fish showers to reduce
the 11. C L., usually having several a
season.
Slnpipore, as might be expected,
holds the shower record, with a rain of
five-Inch cut fish, which the Chinese
gathered by the "basketful.
Nine native witnesses urged by '
canny Scot, made depositions before a
magistrate attcstins the truth of their
tales of a shower In Ilengul during
which at least five kinds of fish foil
fiom the heavens.
Boston, in the days of the "plug" hat.
had what Is called (being Boston) "a
piscatorial deluge." But In Connecti
cut the same year It rained fish and
ire together, which we call thoughtful.
GOES BACK TO ANCIENT DAYS
Expression Concerning Fires of Faith
and the Torch of Religion Traced
to Fire Worshipers. '
"My faith Is like a burning flame."
nun? a martyr has said when he wns
being sorely tried. "I may carry Hie
torch of the true religion forward" Is
ar. expression so often .used that It
seems almost trite. Is It an accident
that many of the most fervent religious
phrases are connected In one wny or
another with the fire-image?
One of the curious customs of Lithu
ania gives clew to the answer to
this question. Religion and fnlth ore
expressed In fiery terms because most
of our ancestors were fire worshipers.
The tradition has outlived pagan
Ism, has come Into Christianity Itself,
and remains most plnlnly evident In
the language we use when talking of
religion.
In Lithuania family councils are held
only In front of the hearth. All linnor-.
tant gatherings are connected with
the fireplace. The fire is never allowed
to die out. . It is the duty of the old
est woman In the fnmily to tend to the
fire, to cover It with ashes at night
and to revive It In the morning.
Why the oldest woman rather than
the oldest man? Because in pagan
days the attendants of the sacred fires
rere always women, the vestal vir
gins, whose lives were devoted to that
one task.
When we speak of the fires of fnlth,
therefore, or of the torch of religion,
we are harking hark to the ancient
days, the days when fire wns faith and
rrligion a torch. '
Bulldogs Made Ferocious.
Bull-baiting at times ranked as the
national pastime of England nnd
countless scores of dogs met their
death to provide a diversion for the
British public. Even royalty favored
the "sport," although during the Inst
100 years of its existence patrons of
the biillrlng.comprisod exclusively the
"lower classes.". The bravery of the
bulldog, cultivated during centuries of
active service In the bullring, natural
ly became deeply Inherited. Owing to
the dog's occupation and surrounding
he acquired a savogeness of disposi
tion which prompted one authority, as
recently as fifty years ago, when btill
baitlng, which had long been made
Illegal, wns mng since over, to stnte
that, the bulldog hud an Intractable
temper and that he would turn on his
master. If offended, as readily as on
stranger. '
Right Standard of Living.
Byron, after a misspent youth, de
sired "a soldier's grave" In "the land
of honorable death." Far better would
It have been If he had, like Tolstoi, re
solved to live down the errors of his
early life, and to build up n future
which would huve redeemed the follies
of the past
When our own evil deeds hove not
soured our existence and when, we hnvo
faith In that eternal Justice which sees
In the sonl of man something greater
thnn nature that will outlive her tran
sitory laws, we shnll welcome old uge
as the portal through which we must
pass to live the life everlasting. Lu
