The league 01 nation» idea in this country has made progress ifany ef those Senatori who erstwhile scoffed at the childish naivete »1 those who thought France and Italy would agree to any league -af nations, now assure us that they believe in a league. These Sen¬ ators are beginning to size up public opinion as in favor of a new world order as against the old armament competition and balance ot .power struggle. Of course they favor a real league, that protects the Haonroc Doctrine, that does not barter away the interests and indeed the independence of the United States. Let us examine this proposal that if Woodrow Wilson's league be done away with Senators of the opposition will be glad to accept a substitute. When seventeen competing steel companies get together and talk a merger, there are seventeen sets of special interests to be con¬ sidered and placated before the terms of the general agreement are ready for signature. Each clause, almost each word, is objected to for some reason by somebody; every point is compromised, altered, tinkered with, until the common denominator is reached; many indi¬ vidual companies are aggrieved at measures that the majority desire, and give their consent reluctantly, only because they know that the »Tierger cannot be successful unless each concern makes sacrifices. A poor analogy, for how childishly simple the most complex problems of business compared to the bewildering, disheartening tangle of prejudices, enmities, racial and economic controversies stretching backwards for centuries, diplomatic conventions of mutual dealings between nations thousands of years old, that faced the league of nations committee in the Hotel Crillon. Miracle of miracles, an agreement was reached, a document was produced. Imperfect it is, no doubt, because each clause, each sen¬ tence, was pulled this way and that by conflicting interests from all over the world before chiseled in the form least objectionable to the fewest possible powers. But on this instrument, admittedly imper¬ fect, the nations of the world rest their hopes for future peace; upon this keystone the relatively simple terms of settlement with Germany are being cemented one by one. What is it that our Senators propose to do? They would pull apart this patchwork, this common denominator of the opinion of all the allied powers; they would take one clause o: and put another »11, all for the purpose of convincing the electors of 1920 that the Senate took the President in hand and safeguarded American inter¬ ests that he had bartered away in Paris. If Americans not delegates to Paris alter the phraseology of; the league ot nations agreement without consultation and previous agreement with the other allied powers, they destroy all the work that has been done. They throw the Peace Conference back into February. Should America suggest a change in the league constitu- *3Jon now, half a dozen countries would remark: "This point was thoroughly discussed before; if the question is to be reopened the '.compromise on questions B, F, G, X and L, that were made in con¬ sideration of your accepting the phraseology to which you now ob¬ ject, must be brought back on the carpet." The whole debate on the league of nations thus commencing tin at the Beginning, not only the league, but everything else t the entente powers have done in Paris, is thereby undone. ¿."Agreement to feed Germany?" France will ask. "But that was .based on the league, and now, gentlemen of the Senate, you have djestroyed our league, and we must begin again to discuss whether a "*fcague is possible. And meanwhile all other questions must wait, for if there is to be no league, if France must depend on her own arm a!one in the future, our policy must be to weaken Germany, not Oa kelp restore her. Bolshevism? If we are to stand alone, we fear Germany more than Bolshevism." And so, on other issues, will ^£peak England and Italy. They Save Now in Washington. Here's one result of the failure of Congress to pass the appro¬ priation bills: ? Some of the government departments which heretofore have followed the custom of writing on only one side of the paper now use btKÍi sides. , N'o't only that, but the War Trade Board, which makes daily "announcements of import and export license matters, sending them out in mimeographed form, saves the sheets left over and uses the other side of them to send out its next announcements on. At times we wonder why Champ Clark's folks didn't teach him the art oi keeping still. Carranza's troops got Zapata's followers. It remains to be seen whether they got. his goat. Senator N'arrowgauge says he will not be a party to a peace treaty that is not made by his party. - We have an uneasy feeling that the Senators who are so solici- tous of the Monroe doctrine are even more solicitous of the lime· light Gittin' Along.

"We should naturally expect reac¬ tionary and militaristic governments, snd we should expect a government like our own. to require courts mar¬ tial to be controlled by establl.-hcd principles of law. enacted in accord¬ ance with the popuUr will, and not subject to control of a mere military commander. And yet, strai.ge and sad to say, ours is one of the most reaciionary systems. ^ "The sole question trdey. and one that is agitating the people is, shall we supersede It by a liberal system, one that Is controlled by law and not by the mere will of man? l.'nd r our system of govemmnt courts mar¬ tial ought to be executive acenciea. whatever they may b« in any other governmental system. System Sat ? .r. :,.? , **Why should the law be so sealous to protect a man when on trial for murder before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and so quirk to deny him his ordinary aafe- guards when tried before a set of officers of the army? "The only answer that 1 have ever heard essayed is that military Justice must be administered quick- ly. But. surely, the prime consid¬ eration is that it ought to be ad¬ ministered justly. There ought to be no talk of quickneas of execution before there is justice of conviction. There should be no certainty of punishment before there is certainty of guilt The argument of quick¬ ness at the expense of correctness of punishment is the argument of of the mob. "It is not enough to aay that courtK-martlal may Im- depended upon to do what is right and award Just punishment. Our government does not proceed upon such pereonal con¬ fidence.

r| League of Nations and Duty of the Senate.The league 01 nation» idea in this country has made progress
ifany ef those Senatori who erstwhile scoffed at the childish naivete»1 those who thought France and Italy would agree to any league-af nations, now assure us that they believe in a league. These Sen¬ators are beginning to size up public opinion as in favor of a newworld order as against the old armament competition and balance ot.power struggle. Of course they favor a real league, that protects theHaonroc Doctrine, that does not barter away the interests and indeedthe independence of the United States.
Let us examine this proposal that if Woodrow Wilson's leaguebe done away with Senators of the opposition will be glad to accepta substitute.
When seventeen competing steel companies get together andtalk a merger, there are seventeen sets of special interests to be con¬sidered and placated before the terms of the general agreement are
ready for signature. Each clause, almost each word, is objected tofor some reason by somebody; every point is compromised, altered,tinkered with, until the common denominator is reached; many indi¬vidual companies are aggrieved at measures that the majority desire,and give their consent reluctantly, only because they know that the»Tierger cannot be successful unless each concern makes sacrifices.
A poor analogy, for how childishly simple the most complexproblems of business compared to the bewildering, dishearteningtangle of prejudices, enmities, racial and economic controversiesstretching backwards for centuries, diplomatic conventions of mutualdealings between nations thousands of years old, that faced theleague of nations committee in the Hotel Crillon.
Miracle of miracles, an agreement was reached, a document was
produced. Imperfect it is, no doubt, because each clause, each sen¬
tence, was pulled this way and that by conflicting interests from allover the world before chiseled in the form least objectionable to thefewest possible powers. But on this instrument, admittedly imper¬fect, the nations of the world rest their hopes for future peace; uponthis keystone the relatively simple terms of settlement with Germanyare being cemented one by one.
What is it that our Senators propose to do? They would pullapart this patchwork, this common denominator of the opinion of allthe allied powers; they would take one clause o: and put another»11, all for the purpose of convincing the electors of 1920 that theSenate took the President in hand and safeguarded American inter¬ests that he had bartered away in Paris.
If Americans not delegates to Paris alter the phraseology of;the league ot nations agreement without consultation and previousagreement with the other allied powers, they destroy all the workthat has been done. They throw the Peace Conference back intoFebruary. Should America suggest a change in the league constitu-*3Jon now, half a dozen countries would remark: "This point was
thoroughly discussed before; if the question is to be reopened the'.compromise on questions B, F, G, X and L, that were made in con¬
sideration of your accepting the phraseology to which you now ob¬ject, must be brought back on the carpet."
The whole debate on the league of nations thus commencingtin at the Beginning, not only the league, but everything else
t the entente powers have done in Paris, is thereby undone.¿."Agreement to feed Germany?" France will ask. "But that was
.based on the league, and now, gentlemen of the Senate, you havedjestroyed our league, and we must begin again to discuss whether a
"*fcague is possible. And meanwhile all other questions must wait,for if there is to be no league, if France must depend on her own
arm a!one in the future, our policy must be to weaken Germany, notOa kelp restore her. Bolshevism? If we are to stand alone, we fearGermany more than Bolshevism." And so, on other issues, will
^£peak England and Italy.

New York, March 25. »-
I was up late last night.
Watting for a »lek flush
And they had l«jchee huts
And their Chinese food
oFr a midnight lunch
And I woke up twice
Barking like a dog
And Just a while ago
The door bell rang
A*nd 1 opened it
And there waa a funny
Looking little guy
With a goatee.
And convex glasse«.
And a bulging forehead.
And he looked like
He might be a chemist.
Or the guy who
Invented geometry.
Or calculus.
And he had a little gripAnd I asked him in.
And found out
He waa a piano tuner
And before I could stop him
He took the lid oft
And began taking out
Strings and cigar stubs
And old tooth brushes
And razor blades.
And I got Interested
Because I have never
Been able to And
The upper section
Of my striped pajamas.
But they weren't there.
So I went away
Into another room
And In a few minutes
He began to hit
One note at a time
And it sounded
Like a lone wolf
Calling the pack.And I got nervous
And went upstairs
And it was worse there.So I went down
In the basement
And then on the roof
And he woudn't quit.
And the more he twanged
The worae it sounded
And I can't Write
Any more today.Eecause I'm so upset.
