Great Problems To Be Settled.
The momentous years through which
we have just gone have brought to
the fore great human probiems which
go to the very roots of our social and
economic life and insistently demand
settlement. The destiny of the human
race w ill be profoundly affected by the
things we do and by the wisdom we
show during the next four years.

As to Foreign Alliances.
“President Wilson himself, as late as
1916 ig a carefolly prepared speeeh
which he dlivered at the unveiling of
the statue of John Barry, declared that
the United Stat* sought gever to make
an alliance with any other nation.
"If you older men do not know it
means for American soldiers to fight
in Europe, ask these splendid young
men who saw service there. Ask them
if they are willing to fight the wars
which European Hmperors may wage
against European Kings; and if you are
not satisfied with their answer, then
ask their mothers. I know what an
swer they will make. For eight months
I saw the mother of a soldier in F’rancen
line with the sun every morning, and,
dressing herself, wait for the morning
paper to be delivered. I saw her take
that piaper and anxiously sican its long
list of casualties to see if her boy’s
name was among the dead or wounded.
I will remember ’hat mother’s anguish

railroad commissions.
There are "three fundamental and in-i
superable objections to the League of
Nations," Senator Bailey said. "The
first is that it surrenders a part of
qur sovereignty into the keeping of a
European Council; ths second is that it
will involve us. so long as it exists, in
European complications; and the third
is that it obligate the United States
to furnish soldiers for war in which we
might not have the remotest interest.
If either one of these objections can
be sustained, no American statesman
can justify himself in voting for this
League of Nations, and if all of these
