The announcement that the League of Nations will probably give the United States a "mandate" to look after Mexico brings up the interesting question of the relation of the League of Nations to the Monroe Doctrine. The "Mandatory" plan adopted primarily for the dis position of the German colonies and the subject provinces of Turkey can easily be extended to apply to all countries needingiielp in their industrial development. It is pretty sure to be so applied in the case of the new nationalities arising from the ruins of Austria-Hungary and Russia. Various big world powers will be charged with the res ponsibility of helping these struggling nations in their political and economical evolutions. The Monroe Doctrine which for nearly a century has guided the destinies of the New World makes the United States the natural candidate for a general mandate of this sort in the western hemisphere. The United States would not want the responsibility assumed by any for eign power, and in the present state of things, no for eign power would think of asking for it, or accepting it. Our assumption of duty may be taken for granted. It will not involve any great change. There will be little practical difference, but a big difference in view point. . -. ' - , , ' , , The Monroe Doctrine has been purely American, our own national policy, merely tolerated by the rest of the world, and long a source of suspicion and discontent on the part of the sister republics benefitting by it. In the last few years this Doctrine has been undergoing a sub tle change, shading almost insensibly into the new idea of Pan-Americanism, which would make all the nations of this hemisphere jointly responsible for the good be havior of any of their number. Thus we were in a fair way to evolve an American League of Nations before the present sitaution arose. Such a league may yet develop, as a subsidiary of the World League. In the meantime, the Monroe Doctrine will probably assume the form of the "Mandate" suggested, with the authority of the League of Nations submitted for the single authority of the United States, and the principles upon which it will operate harmonized by these of the world league which apply to all nations. They will not differ in any essential respect from the same principles we have hitherto applied in giving our half-developed neighbors the help they needed. And there will be no occasion to lament or resent the passing of the term "Monroe Doctrine", when the substance of it per sists and the consummation of its purpose is made easier by the new world-sanction. Query: Can the Chinese question be handled without tongs. BBSB8B8 RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason There must be increased production of gasoline from available petroleum, or there must be discovered a new source of supply, says Dr. Joseph E. Pogue of the federal bureau of oil conservation. Unless something is done to improve the situation very soon, he says, motor gas may go to w cents a gallon. The number of gas engines is increasing rapidly. Their uses are becoming more varied. So far, nothing in advance of the gas engine has been thought of for driv ing the airplanes. Yet manifestly, here is where the new discovery is most needed. In Kipling's "Withthe Night Mail," written over a decade ago, he takes for granted a new fuel and a new gas. Any new invention must at first make use of the means at hand. The first automobiles were steam-driven because the uses of steam engines were understood. As the horseless car showed signs of becoming practical, a better means of driving it was found in the gas engine. The airplane, still in infancy, makes use of the gas engine. But possibly it cannot develop to mature effect iveness without a fuel better suited to its needs than gaso line. . ... , With increased production to take care of the de mand for automobiles, and with the new fuel entirely re moving the airplane demand for gasoline, there would be hope for better, swifter and more comfortable transpor tation. Many minds are working on the problem of the new fuel. Who will be first to' draw it from the universal storehouse? .---- Victor Berger, pro-German socialist, sent to prison for plotting against the government, is said to have said that "the sentence proves that the United States of Amer ica takes the place of Russia." Since Berger and his kind profess such love for the bolshevik, this Russian coloring ought to please him. . The present legislature has done a tremendous lot of business. We are judging this by the number of clerks and other employes the members have found it necessary to hire to handle the work of the session. - In Munich, it is said, every unemployed man i3 sup ported by the state. And according to latest reports the only state in Munich is a state of war.-'1 y- - - Quite appropriately the deported bolsheviks are be ing shipped back to Europe in the captured German ships. TO THE LEGISLATORS THE PROMOTER'S WIFE BY JANE PHELPS OBBITUARY. v There'll be much less of weeping when Barleycorn is sleeping out in the place of bones; there'll be much less of sighing, of sobbing and of crying, of hopeless tears and moans. There'll be much less of trouble when man sholl blow no bubble from off a stein of beer; the world will be much sweeter when we have seen John teeter out to the boneyard drear. There'll be few gents in prison when Barleycorn's got his'n, and locks the Rum Hole door; there'll be less fine and trimming when booze has ceased its brimming in coffin varnish store. There'll be less work for coppers, there'll be less planting paupers in cheap and unmarked graves; there'll be less stipend blowing when booze has ceased its flowing in rippling rotgut waves. There'll be more pep and ardor to fill the bin and larder, and buy the children duds, when father can't go snooping where boozy boys are whooping, and blow his wage for suds. Old Barleycorn is smitten, his doom is sealed and written, he weeps and disappears; the biggest thing re corded since Adam was awarded a span of brindled steers. Bab's Mother Gives Her Good Advice CHAPTER XV. Noil was ft man of slight artistic culture, but he tik an instinctivo delight in the beautiful. Anything i really lovely gave him pleasure, and j inversely anything ugly gave him pain, that at all times seemed almost j physical. '"'You like itf" he asked. It rfas our first visit to the new apartment we hnd rented since it had been decorated for us. "I.iko itl I just love it and who! wouldn't! But it is so largo and I; shall have to have another servant.! I dread that." 'Never mind. Call he.r the thorn, in yonr rose, if you like, but don 't let her spoil the beauty of the rose for, you." And Neil, well-groomed, alert, j brimming over with good nature and; satisfaction, eager and keen, drewj me to him and, kissing me many times, added: "My rose, aren't you, Bab j The setting is none too good for you."i When Neil was like this I was re paid for any carelessness, any lax noas on his part. I would forget everything save that I loved him, and that he belonged to ne. Neil's very appearance was reas suring I was overwwhemled by the optimism of prosperity, and it brushed tid from mv mind all misgivings. I Ueldom allowed them mom, save when something was said io cause mem. But as I knew few people, most of them introduced bv Neil, it was rare that Anything unpleasant or tneotting reached iny ears. 1 had made many acquaintances, but few friends. I had erred on ae caslons, and found that a supposed friend waa really an unfortunate ac quaintance. In one or two rases in tolerable bores. Bu Neil delighted In eompany. Ho loved to enterlainr if we did it lavishly. He wanted that, like everything olso he did, to show Ms wordiv success. I was not surprised when ho expatiated upon the size of the dining room, the cap acity of tho apartment, its appropri ateness for entertaining. 'Come new, dear, let us go homo Tou look tired" I mid. All suddenly I had noticed he was fagged. "Any way I am." "Yes I am tired," he acknowledged. So wo turned off the light and went home. When we reached home ho sank heavily into a chair. He looked older, and worn. I noticed for the first time a nervous twitching around his mouth. For an instant I felt irritated at the thought of the way he wasted himself to add to his wealth ; and. so made himself too tired to tell me of his love as often as ho usetl to. I had received a letter from mother that day, and I now brought it ti Neil to read (A habit I had formed when we were first married.) "Bead it to mc." he said 'I .told her about tho new apart ment, described it, and also told her how wonderfully you were getting on." I said as t unfolded the letter and commenced to read in response to his request. '(Jo slow, dear," mother said, "you are both young. Neil is a very yoimg man to make enough money to live in such luxury as you describe. You must he very proud of his ability. But remember that the. sun does not al ways shine, and prepare for the rainy day that is almost sure to come at some time in your life. Father says to tell Noil to" keep away from 'spec ulation, lie says it is a rock on which many young men split, and that it is better to go slow- and sure. Of course we do not know that Neil does specu late, but I guess father thonght he would warn you. "We all miss you very much, and in response to your invUation may soon mako you a short visit." There was much more, bbut this was all that directly related to Neil in any way "You don't speculate, do you Neil!" I asked as I laid the letter down. "Of course I do! everyone does now adays But not In the way your father thinks. But no big money is made without raking risks. I'll take a chance any time."

Rioting and Dangerous to Experiment With Treatment That Gives Only Temporary Relief. You see everywhere people with stopped up air passages, who seem to brsathe only with the greatest dif ficulty. There is a constant hawking and spitting iu an effort to clear tht throat and nostrils, and what appears at first to be only a slight cold holds on with stubbornness until a fully developed case of Catarrh has the vic tim firmly within its grasp. Thcro is not the slightest doubt that all this suffering is caused by a tiny disease germ that gets into the blood and multiplies by the million. The catarrh germ attacks the delicate mucous membranes of the nose, throat and air passages. These become choked np with the accumulations', seriously interfering .with the breathing apparatus, and causing untold suffering. There is usually a cough, irritated throat, sore ness of the membranes and constant discomfort. If you have ever been nfflicted with Catarrh, yoa know something of tho suffering and inconvenience the dis ease causes. You know, too, that it cannot be cured by the application of sprays, lotions', ointments, jellies, or other local treatment. Even if such treatment does succeed in openinc the stopped-up passages for a while, they tjon become clogged again, and there is so progress made toward a cure of tho disease. In addition to the suffering and in convenience caused by Catarrh, there is always danger that the disease will giadually go lower into the throat and attack tho bronchial passages, and eventually involve tho Jungs. Many a case of consumption has developed from a severe attack of Cutarrh. The most satisfactory treatment for Catarrh is S. 8. S., the unrivaled blood' purifier, vhich so promptly route and climates from the blood the germs of Catarrh. In this way, it gets rid of the cause of the disease by going direct to its source, cleansing the blood thoroughly, and building up and re newing the entire system. S. S. S. has been on the market for more than fifty years, and has beea thoroughly tested- in thousands of cases of Catarrh. If you want to be rid of the disease, throw away your makeshift remedies, and begin oa S. S. S. to-day. You will be delighted with the results', as others have been. 8. S.
