OPPOSING THE LEAGUE.
OPPOSITION to the. League of Nations, created at
Paris, is due principally to partisan prejudice and
ignorance. It is true that it was made an actuality thru
President Wilson's efforts, but he is. not, and does not
claim to be the author of the idea, or the writer of any part
of the proposed constitution, though his insistence iorced
the inclusion of certain points. It is in effect a. modifica
tion of the ideals of the ''league to enforce peace" cham
pioned for many years by former President raft as a so
lution of international conflicts and preventative of war
and Mr. Taft is big and broad enough to acclaim the suc
cess of his successor and seek public approval for the
league. - ' , ' ' : - -- ' '
There seems little doubt but tliat the statesmen of
Europe, with the exception
plated a peace ot the old order upon a quadruple balance
of power, to make the Paris conference a second congress
of Vienna with a redivision . of conquered .territory as
spoils among the victors. But Wilson upset their plans.
As William Allen .White; in a. Paris cablegram says:
Nothing that President Wilson has said to those elder statesmen has
convinced them that they were wrong, but what he -has said to the
people- of Europe and the way the people of Europe have received wha(
he has said, has convinced the elder statesmen, that if they do not give '
Europe a League of Nations revolution in Europe will follow tho war.
The president merely has voiced the conviction of the world that it
has outgrown war, and the voiced conviction of the world has convinced
the rulers of Europe. .! 1
. The league has been vigorouslv fought bv the reaction
aries and Chauvinists who sought an imperialistic peace'.
All the reactionary influences abroad and in America will
be concentrated in an effort to
fair way to be consummated.
or prejudice will bo overlooked
American political party that
mistake of its life, and those
dent on a plattorm ot abuse and opposition will, not get
very far in their rainbow chasing. -'
Appreciates
Gebree ' Andrews has' received- the
followine letter, relative to the ap
pearance here of Irvin Cobb:
Dear Mr. Andrews: Allow me to
coneratulute you on presenting Irvin
Cobb. While I have been an ardent
admirer of his stories, I; admit that
at the lecture it was a most aerecable
surprise to realize his versatility.
For a man as eif ted with fain pen, it
was indeed unusual to find him so
finished oralorienlly. His diction was
perfect, his similes brilliant', and his
wit made ever more sparkling bv his
tcllincr. Cobb's humor is noteonlv ef
fervescent, but inimitable, nnd it was
astonishing: I think, to find that in de
picting scenes of pathos, he was
equally touching and forceful.. ' , .'
Another impression received at the
lecture was the sympathetic and. ad
mirable .manner of the audience, - I
am referring to an incident which I
nin confident nf fected us collectively.
Yoii will recall, ilr. Cobb was. telling
us of visitine a cemetery in a French
town, and discovering that tho graves
of our American bovs were daily coh
ered with . exquisite blossoms and
field flowers,- placed there with such
loving tenderness by (he women of
France-r-women who for the- most
part were unable to even the, tend the
names inscribed upon the ronghlv
hewn marikng stones." Mr. Cobb hud
prefaced his remarks by saying: "If
there is a mother in the audience who
has given 'n, Aon, sdie may receive
bit of comfort I whuff urn- ubb'it to
say." 'Wasn't it electritiving' rnd
heart rending when a mother in
auifiencc no longer nble to, stand t!.c
strain'called out in sneli etet Ktrie;i
en tones, ''Oh ! but it docs." PcilmiVi
