OAXGEKOIS TEACHING 'As the president in his special train vest-Jbound glides over .the (Rocky mountains on his speech-making tour, exhorting the people to Tally to the league of nations cove nant. Senator Johnson, Borah and McCumber open up the bombard ment in the Central States in an en deavor to refute bis statements. It is not a political campaign, but an argument over what Is the best coarse, for the United States to pur sue. You may not 'believe Johnson or Borah, you may not believe Wil son, yet if you have been clamoring for "Inside information" on the pro posed treaty, you should read what these men have to say. All small daily papers contain part of- their speeches, the large city dailies print ing their speeches in lull. Up to the present week .most of the president's statements have gone unchallenged unchallenged In an open and fearless manner but now the senators are speakfg up, Jelling the- people why they did not approve the treaty instantly when it was landed to them by President Wilson. . But. it appears that the president is playing a lone hand in making the fight for the league no doubt because he chooses to do so so far as "speech-making" is concerned. In the meantime Senator Ultchoock Is trying to hold the fort In Wash ington against those who are opposed to the league in Its present form. The G. A. R. convention at Colum bus, Ohio, has just come out with the announcement that tbey oppose the-league In Its present form, and that statement adds to the confusion. But after the president swings around the circle and returns to Washington; after the senators have tried to pick his statements to pieces and have disposed of the treaty no matter In what manner the world will still Uve and continue to revolve. The worst results that can occur from the president's speeches Is the fact that he is working overtime to convince the American people that in case the treaty Is not accepted In " its present form, "the world la lost will be aflame the heart of man kind will be broken, and all will be cbaos." Can you picture &' more direful calamity? Most people want the treaty accepted, with some pro per amendments to safeguard the United States, but Buch predlr-tions fcy the (president are dangerous. He has influence. If his admirers be lieve what he says, and the treaty 1s turned down by the senate, he has led the people to a state of mind where they will actually believe that "all is lost, everything Is chaos, and there can ibe no peace." The presi dent la working on the Imagination of a certain class, end that is what will happen. They will be more die contented than everx the president himself says people In that frame of mind do not "build uip governments." If that Is true, why Is he trying, by TASMANIA I X L Conserve and RUPERTS Jam and Preserves KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality and Service his endless speeches, to throw the world into discontent in case the treaty is rejected? The United States and the balance of the world have moved along for hundreds of years, with times gen erally good and everybody reason ably prosperous, except the disgrunt led few that will always be found in any country, but that element is rest- leas, visionary, and continual)? dreaming of the brotherhood of man. Whether league or no league, mankind Is NOT lost, and the heart of the world will 'heal from its break and the old globe wiH con tinue to revolve, with more or less peace and joy which Is about ail that we can expect from this life until Gabriel blows his trumpet. Anyone who teaches that, unless bis pet theories are adopted and fol lowed, tbe world is lost and there can be nothing out chaos, is piling up- kindling that would tempt the! Bolshevist 'a torch. That Is a form of teaching that really Is dangerous. If the president would say he BELIEVED the world would be bet ter off with a league of nations and that tie THOUGHT It might stave off wars, he would have a much greater following. But his inflama tory speeches places him In, one might say, the propagandist class. If we have no faith in congress, why elect one? Why not just have a president and endow ihim with the power of an ancient ' monarch? Laughable proposal, isn't It? Then why lambast congress from Dan to Beersheba for trying to do the duty for which they were elected? The league might prevent future wars It might foment them but the world is not lost, has never been lost. The only ones who are lost are those who look at the future through eyes visionary with discontent. The (levengers Entertain Mr. and Mrs. C. U Clevenger and Miss Sadie Clevenger entertained at a very enjoyable affair last night at the Clevenger home on North Fourth street.
