No longer is this nation exalted as world leader. Distrust and suspicion are replacing esteem. Only in Germany is there rejoising. In the senate's view, America was not fighting to end war, but, to help perpetrate it. America would shirk any part of responsibility to the world. America, accord ing to the senate's interpretation, has no interest in hu manityonly in itself. America, according to the vie wof the senate, as ex-, pressed in the treaty rejection, is suspicious of its allies and friendly to its enemy. It affronts Great Britain, shows hostility towards Japan, advocates the abandon ment of France and serves notice to the, struggling new nations that America washes its hands of them. ' America expects world commerce but if America refuses to stand with the world, the world will close ..its doors to America. With loss of political prestige invar iably goes loss of commercial prestige. If America can live without the world, most assuredly the world can live without America. In this world we get just about what we give. Sus picion of others, breeds suspicion of .ourselves in others. We cannot receive, unless we give. We sow what we reap. In rejecting the treaty the senate is sowing the seeds of discord that America will not be long in reaping. Dis trusting others we will in turn be distrusted. Refusing aid to others, we will be refused aid by others. From the most respected and loved of nations, we are on our way to become the least respected and most hated but per haps we can make an alliance with that other pariah among nations Germany which is what the senate ob structors desire.

Volte that never used t' go near a saloon now o'rluk out o' curiosity,' N THE Literary Digest of. November 22, appears an ac count of the policing of the steel regions Of Pennsvl- vania. during the steel strike by Leland Olds, formerly a professor at Amherst and afterwards a member of the War Labor Board. It is. reprinted from a recent issue ; of "The World Tomorrow", a radical New York weekly. The writer presents' the Viewpoint of the strikers in sym pathetic vein and reveals a regime of brutality and repres sion reminiscent of darkest Russia. , . . . Numerous incidents are given showing injustice, mis fortune and poverty among the workers. Freedom of press, of speech and of assemblage have . gone . by, the board. ' Arrests are numerous and made without ccause in the effort to break the strike by confiscating all the workers' money. Protest over the 12-hour day is regard ed as criminal and every effort made by the state police to intimidate the strikers. Entire families are carted to'' jail, heads broken for appearance on the street, private property ruthlessly destroyed, intimidation and sanction ed lawlessness the order of the day. Riot sticks have yet to be used in a riot, but they are daily used to' prod, to goad, to clout and bruise, to terrorize and provoke the strikers. Despite the provocation, the strikers have not retal iated, realizing that rioting and violence would defeat the strike and this despite the fact that leaders have been jailed aid assemblage forbidden. Most of the strikers are foreigners and speak in broken English, but they have learned their rights, as Americans are striking for their rights the right to be treated as freemen instead of slaves. - The steel barons refusedto arbitrate the old answer of industrial autocracy. They imported these foreigners to secure the cheapest labor in the world in order to swell their profits but as the toilers became Americanized, they rebelled at their serfdom. By sheer power.of wealth the greatest corporation in the world is winning the strike by starving the strikers outbut their sacrifice will not have been in vain for it will hasten the day of real democ racy. As it is, the steel trust is doing its utmost to fur ther the Bolshevist cause. It's record of crime against humanity is a long one and the Homestead massacre and present brutality only incidents. It controls the state of Pennsylvania as absolutely as ever feudal baron con trolled his domains and Pennsylvania has yet to be Americanized. to his sullenness while we were dress ing: - "Did you meet mother last night?" I asked. , "No, I didn't meet any one except an old guy with chin whiskers who said he was the family doctor. Tnat being the case, I wonder your father lived as long as he did. I can't un derstand why you didn't come with him to meet me. You must have known that I should expect to Bee you." ... . "I've learned, John, that one does not always get what one expects. I expected you to come to the telephone yesterday when I askd for you." "Hon? was 1 to know what you wanted me for? I was in a very im portant" meeting." j . "You, might at least have called me up after it was over. If you had stop ; ped to .think you would have realized that this was the second time I had called you at your office since bur marriage" '-. . . , Well, I thought this was another I . lly emotions must have shown . themselves lh my face", as I wheeled I suddenly and looked at him, for he came quickly toward me and put his I arms around me saying In my ear: "Girl, I don't mean to make you unhappy. You'll have to get used to me. I am awfully sorry for you, and didn't I come on the next train only to find u snoozing away too sleepy even to wake up when I kisjedyou?" "Dearest, I wanted awfully to go and meet you. but I had not slept a moment the night before on the train and I had been with mother all day. I think Dr .Hannaford gave me a sleeping potion when he said he was only giving me something to quiet my nerves. Honestly, it was a physical im possibility for me to keep awake." "All right, dear, we won't quarrel about it any more. This is a beautiful old place you have here. Does it be long to you mother?" "I don't know exactly whether the place Is mother's or not, John. But It is surely a beautiful home, and I love It very dearly. I was not only born here, but my father was also, and his forebears five generations back." John looked about the bed ro(Tm with evident admiration and I won dered just what his thoughts were as he viewed the exquisite old mahogany furniture that had come from England four generations ago, and contrasted it with the art nouveau stuff in his mother's house. I did-riot have to wait long to find what was passing through his mind. "Are these your rooms, Honey?" he asked, looking Into my little sitting room, with Its old English chintz and real Heppelwhite and Sheraton fur niture." "Yes, these roon are mine and mother has always' feaifr that w-hen l married I might have, .the, furniture in them." " ' -i '; "Gee, that's fine! We'll rearrange that entire suite of ours at the house." Of course I couldn't expect that John would be very much concerned over the death of a man whom he had never seen, but neither then nor since could I bacome accustomed to John's utter callousness and cold blooded in attention to anything, either Joy or sorrow, with which he wasn't for the moment concerned. - 1 This characteristic -,of my husband has hurt me more than any other since our marriage.

The Interna tional Labor conference today, by a vote of 42 to 26, adopted a provision imposing on various governments pay ment of three months wages to women worker for loss of time incident to child birth. Under the provision women would be given six weeks leave before and six weeks leave with pay after child birth. Under the provision as original ly drawn employers would have had to bear the burden of making the pay ments but employers' delegates defeat ed this. - Germany today cabled an expression of regret at its inability to participate in the labor conference, due to failure of its delegates to obtain passage until It was too late. "Evrythlng possible was done to se cure passage but the 'delegation was compelled with heavy hearts to give up their journey and participation in the conference. The German delega tion Is convinced that their absence will under the circumstances be not misconstrued by the conference," said the cable. ISIllRI PIIVSIOAT, lll'RT IXXIVSES KOI I, VMS. Although I thought that I could never sleep again, 1 was so physically tired that right after dinner I found myself nodding. I jind intended to go to the train tq meet John, but Dr. llannnford, who had already given me something to steady my nerves, insist ed thnt I should not make the. trip. To toll the truth, I wan so sleepy that I could not feel the necessity of meet ing John. Strange, isn't it. that Nature Insists upon having her wants satisfied with out regard for what the blind or spirit may desire;? The old Pilgrim who said: "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak," spoke more than a half truth. After nil. we nre nothing but animals and physical pain will obliterate the greatest of- soul sorrows. I have never known a nnin or wom an who was suffering from acute rheu matism to be very much concerned about anybody or anything that did not look ns though It would contribute to his comfort by alleviating his pain. And even now, although I wanted to sit -beside my mother and comfort her nnd my mind admonished that 1 should go to the train to meet John. I was simply overcome with sleep. Ilefore . dear old Sarah had fairly gotten the bed ready, I had slipped out of my clothes, leaving them for her to put away, and curled down between the sheets. I do not think I even heard her ns she set the room In or der. I had h confused recollection the next morning of John's trying to w-nken me, and that gave me a clue We Give Positive Results When choosing an optometrist, select one trained and especially skilled in the art of properly fitting glasses.
