Shrewd political managers are not so sure Senator Harding didn't play his cards exceptionally well In view of the fact that Women who opposed suffrage will probably use the ballot to uphold their doctrines and principles Just as much as those who favored suffrage. ' , . v In ether words, Senator Harding has gone after the votes of both fac tions in the suffrage ranks, and hopes for support from both, while Governor Cox has lined himself up very definitely against the anti-suffrage vote. The attitude is characteristic of Senator Harding's position upon many public questions. He faces both ways to secure the support of both factions at least until after election. It is the typical pose of the time serving politician who carries water on both shoulders and places expediency above principle to secure office.

Hence the necessity of the itfront porch campaign, whose every utterance is censored in advance, ' The straddle on the peace treaty, in which Harding's ambi guity is construed by Hiram Johnson as inimical to the treaty, by -)x-President Taft as favorable to the treaty, is characteristic of the campaign. But to straddling Mr. Harding has added dema gogy, .which is not, surprising in a member of the old guard of the senate.

It does not add anything, therefore, to the ratification by the UnitediStates of the league! to make a reservation of something which is necessarily implied without it." The treaty has not destroyed the nationality of Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan or any of the other nations that have ratified the treaty and joined the league of nations, and Senator Harding's talk of the senate's having preserved the nation by rejecting the peace treaty is pure bunk What the senate has done is to play partisan politics with the peace of the world and lose for America world leadership by breaking faith with humanity, The Fat Lady's Secret Somehow, the longer Freddie Fire, fly talked with Jennie Junebug. the more he wished that he might fly off and leave her there in the meadow. .But he had just the same as told her that he would be glad to fly with her.

The winter's drawing closer, the summer's almost spent, and wind won't pay the grocer, and talk won't pay the rent; and when the wolf is yelling before your humble dwelling, all kinds of want foretelling, your lost hours you'll lament.

He cer tainly didn't want to ,go there in the company of that strange fat lady. "I was going over the hill," he faltered at last. "But I'd rather stay here in the meadow with you." "How nice of you to say that!" Jennie Junebug murmured. "And now let's begin flying at once!" she said. So they rose into the air. But they hadn't flown more than a few feet when Jennie once more banged sqmrely into her- companion. It wasa terriflo blow. And Fred die Firefly soon found himself lying ta on the eround. He was so nearly stunned that he scarcely knew what had happened. , "What fun!" the fat lady gurgled Ma-h in his ear. with a horrible laugh. "Come! Let's do It again!" . nn it niraln!" Freddie Firefly re no. tort ftnr. her. aa a sudden tear gripped him. "Do you mean to tell me that you ran Into mo on pur pose?" , . , "Why, certainly!" he replied. "Running Into a light is more than half the fun of flying." " ' Her terrible secret was out at last. If Freddie Firefly had been older and wiser he would have known, in the beginning, that his first collision with the fat lady was no accident. The whole Junebug family were alike in one respect: preiernng xo i niffht. whenever they saw a ngnt anywhere they made straight for It as fast as they could fly. Sometimes, they landed with a crash against one of the farmhouse wtnaows. pome times they struck the lantern, if Farmer Green happened to be carry. ing It across the farmyard. It real ly made little difference to a june. bug what he or she hit, so long as It gleamed brightly out of the nignt. Well, Freddie Firefly saw at last that he was in a terrible fix. He knew now why Jennie Junebug had asked him to fly with her. It was on account of his flashing light! And the dreadful -creature actually ex pected him to fly for her so that she might have the pleasure of bowling him over every time he rose into the air. Such a practice was disagreeable, to say the least. Indeed, Freddie Firefly thought it was positively dangerous, for him. "Come! Come!" Jennie Junebug urged him playfully, even while he lay on the ground trying to get his breath. "If you don't hurry and fly some more I shall knock you over right where you are!" Freddie Firefly answered her with a faint moan. He couldn't run away from her. So he thought of hiding. But he had promised to fly with her. And she was a lady. What could he do?

(From the New York, World.), In a letter to The Evening World In answer to certain questions submitted to him Mr. Taft makes short shrift of Senator Harding's pet oorrtentlon that under Article X of the covenane of wie census or nations "a super-Government" could order the United Sta tes into war. ; "I have often had occasion to say." replies Mr. Taft. "that without and re servations at all the covenant of the League of Nations In so far is it pur ports to impose any obligations on the United States, must be construed to moan that the obligation win he i. formed In aocord with the Constitution oi ine united states, and in on -other way." That applies as well to every other member the League. All the cm. mat nave been admitted to the League nave constitutions, aii of them in per forming their obligations are subject to the limitations of their constitution a fact known to every one of them. Great Britain is a member oT the League. Does Senator Harding think "a super-Government" could order Great Britain to go to war without the consent of Parliament? France is a member of the Leaeue. Does the Senator think that the League -could order France to go to war without the consent of the chamber of deputies? In what respects is the United States oi. any dlffcrerit basis? This whole issue of "super-GoverH men" that Senator Harding puts forth in sheer demagogy andl s known to be demagogy by the candidate himself; for it is inconceivable that even a United States Senator could be so ig norant of constitutional government as Senator Harding pretends to be in his speeches.
