llnw do you account tor tho fact that whereas a year ago you
were for a League of Nations, you arc now opposed to it. Can it
be that The -Mall Tribune is more influenced by partisan conside
rations than it lia professed? If u league was right a year ago,
why Isn't it right today? What has changed except that a Bland
pat Itepublican machine Is now In control and President Wilson
was in control a year ago? Many subscribers would b interested
In an explanation. JEKFEHSON THOMAS.
BUT THIS I'Al'KU is not opposed to "n" League of Nations and
never lnis been. Some lciijrue, or association, or concert of na
tions, call it what .von like,---will in our opinion eventually be form
ed, but we have lung since abandoned all hope of the Wilson League,
pud we doubt very much if any Ica-nic is formed, well in the next
four years. ,
Moreover, toward the entire question, we admit our view has
changed, and we believe this change of viewpoint has swept over
niaiiv others. The past vear has been a year of disillusion, and
it seems to us idle to formulate any opinion, without taking this dis
illusion into consideration. A great deal more has happened in this
country and abroad, than a mere change in political control at Wash
ington, not only nialerial conditions, but the entire world psychology
has been transformed-
liook at Kurope. With (iemiany recalcitrant, and an army on the
Rhine, with King Couslantinc back on his throne, and his troops
being drubbed by the "unspeakable Turk," with the Baltic stutes lit
lie less than armed camps, with spring offensives advertised from
Moscow, and all this time, with the League of Nations holding its
regular sessions, as effective iu I he promotion of pe.ice ns a pea shoot
er firing at I he moon ! '
How can any rational person not obessed by an ideal which has
lost all reality, eonl in-.u- to talk as though the Wilson League of Na
tions' was still it vital issue. How can any one believe that any'prae
ticnble League to enforce peace has a ghost of a chance in the whirl
pool of national antagonisms of today? Only those who are still fight
ing a partisan sham battle that is over, can sustain this fallacy, in our
(pinion.
The League of Nations was a great ideal, it continues as a great
ideal. We hold tiie faith that such a world organization for pence
must eventually come. Bui we can see no promise for fulfillment in
any near future. Xo document can promote world peace in itself,
any more than a marriage license as a document can promote domestic
happiness. Both art; mere forms until vitalized by the prope'r spirit.
And internationally the proper spirit is not "there" or hero. In
short, the sad truth has dawned upon most of us, thai the proposal
came loo soon. The world was not as enlightened as we thought. Na
tions must be differently constituted before- any league, whether Mr.
Wilson 'h, Mr. Ilardi fig's, or the (Ircat Yogi's, can he more than an
abstraction. Whether the world must again go through a fire of suf
lering and destruction to see the light, we don't know, probably no
one knows but we do know that until then- is a spiritual regeneration
the problems of this world must be solved iu the old, old way, and
any League of Nations remains morally an aspiration, but politically
merely an academic question.

LLOYD GEORGE.
HK MKKTS a crisis every morning, and knocks , groggy, to
the floor; the crises conic, with scanty warning, and find
him clamoring for more; he views the day with lofty scorning
that does not bring him three or four. It seems at times he will
be shaken, when adversaries loom up strong; "at last," they cry,
"he'll lose his bacon ; we'll show him where he got in wrong;" but
when they're by their goats forsaken Lloyd (ieorge puts up a
grand sweet song- 1 1 is foes are always advertising that- they will
fire him from his chair; that they have him where his tricks sur
prising will never get him anywhere; he docs some fancy coni
promisiri'g, and lo, he's right side up with care. .Oh, kings lament
their overturning, the fame of many statesmen fades, and minis
ters for death are yearning, w ho lately headed the. parades; hut
Lloyd (ieorge keeps the home fires burning, and laughs at all your
hand grenades. At home his foes are out to pot. him, as they
would hag n blooming hare; abroad' his enemies would swat him
and comb his ringlets with a chair; hut at this writing none has
shot: him, and he has beaming smiles to spare. A crisis meets him
in the dawning, and tells him that 'his jig is up, and cries, with
roaring doggoning, that he must drink the hemlock cup; and in a
minute it is fawning around him like a spaniel pup.

Ily Merrill Arthur Yothers.
Agate, sleeping on tho ground,
How have you such beauty found?
Here you dream your heart aglow
With the rire of long ago
On this desert lone and bare
Must have come from otherwhere.
.Moss and leaf anil lichen tell
Of ajiomu In woodsy dell
Wbere the signing breezes slept,
Where the fairy springiets wept,
Where the song of gladsome bird
Through the joyous wood was heard.
Why is it, Moss Agttte fair.
You are not found sltinih'rlng there?
(Hows thy opalescent fire
With n strangely sweet desire,
as if all your heart would, tell
Or that birth in leafy dell,
And of how It came to pass
You llo here In desert grass.
In your flimsy moss we see
Klfland shrub and flower and tree
Stolen from that distant day
Prisoned In your heart they stay
'Singing prehistoric rhymes
Of those long-forgotten times.
When shall future time impart
All the music from your heart?
All your dreams must be replete
With a memory so so sweet. .
I hold you have heaven found,
Lyric Agate on the ground.

HOW TO USE
YOUR DENTIST
Thore would be little dread of the
dental chnlr if patientB would make
regular visits and have their teeth
-examined at least twice a year. If
this plan is followed, the cavities will
be small and can be filled with a
minimum of pain.
Tartar deposits should also be
carefully removed and the teeth
thoroughly cleaned at the same time.
If this plan were adopted by every
one a great many of tho Ills, which
are the result of tooth neglect, would
bo overcome.
No lmly ever looked beautiful with
dirty teeth.
