“THOU SHALT NOT STEAL”
Mr Unghrs who has devoted far more effort to mis-
uiiderstimdiiin the covenant of the League of Nations than
lie has ever devoted to understanding it calls Article 10 “a
mischief-maker” By the same process of reasoning the
Eighth Commandment is a mischief-maker Both mean the
same thing — “Thou Shalt Not Steal”
That is all there is to Article 10— thon shall not steal
and thou shalt covenant to take measures that will prevent
others from stealing That is the whole significance of the
pledge to “respect and preserve as against external aggres-
sion the territorial integrity and existing political inde-
pendence of all members of the league”
Mr Hughes cannot he so ignorant as he pretends of the
origin and inspiration of Article 10 It was devised to meet
such situations as that which resulted from the invasion r
Belgium liy the Herman armies in August 1014 in defiance
of the Herman treaty engagement to respect the neutrality
of Belgium '
Article 10 has been called the Magna Charta of the small
nations und it is The strong nations do not need it for
they can protect their own territorial integrity Nobody in
all the world is going to take a square inch of real estate
from the United Slates or limit Britain 'by force of arms
It cannot be done Since the collapse of the Herman and
Austro-Hungarian empires France and Italy are also capa-
ble' of taking care of themselves ami Japan 1ms no neigh-
bors in the east that can successfully challenge her
- Of the thirty-nine nations that are now members of the
league only four can be classed among the great powers
The other thirty-five vary greatly in riches and population
and resources hut they all have this in common namely
their inability to maintain themselves against the ruthless
aggression of the great powers Hreat licit i in France Italy
and Japan by joining the League have pledged themselves
to respect and protect the territorial integrity and existing
political independence of those countries The United Slates
alone refuses to take that pledge owing to the partisan poli-
tics of the Republican majority in the Senate
Various excuses are found for opposing Article Id Imt
merely for the purpose of keeping the record straight it is
worth while to remember that the opposition to it originally
came from the elements that have been urging war with
Mexico and the seizure of Mexican territory They know
that if the treaty is ratified und the United States joins
the league of Nations the policy of respecting Mexico's ter-
ritorial integrity will continue even though Mexico is not a
member of the league With the United States outside a so-
ciety of nations pledged not to steal other people's prop-
erty the way will remain open for a raid on Mexico's rich
resources
President Wilson has called Article Id the heart of the
covenant in this respect that it applies the rule of personal
integrity and personal honesty to the relations between na-
tions and it is the first time that such n rule lias ever been
applied in international affairs Thanks to the Republican
senators the United States of all the great powers is stand-
ing out in defense of the doctrine that the strong have a right
to roh flic weak and that the Ten Commandments have no
place in the law of nations — New York World
IRELAND AND THE LEAGUE
“There is no phase or feature of the whole plan of the
League of Nations which is more explicit than that which
deals with the self-determination of the peoples of the
earth Jtefore the League of Nations was devised came the
armistice That was founded upon fourteen principles and
major among them was the principle of self-determination
“The philosophy was that the League of Nations de- '
Nired not only the peace of the world now Imt continuing
peace The provisions in Article Id against external ag-
gression was to protect the smaller nations against the bully-
ing attitude of the big nations You can’t take the moun-
tains and rivers as boundary lines and try to break up the
homogeneity of a people and expect them to be happy
' “I am in favor of the application of the principle of
self-determination in Japan in Chinn in Turkey in Ire-
land or anywhere else” — Governor Cox
Governor Cox showed later that by the terms of the
covenant of the League of Nations itself (Article 11) it is
declared to he the friendly right of each member of the
league to bring to the attention of the assembly or council
any circumstance whatever affecting international rela-
tions and good understanding between member nations and
that when the United States becomes a member of the
league this nation might in all propriety and good feleing'
plead Ireland's cause before the council of the league
It will be no credit to women if they show the same in-
difference to voting that so many men do

Report That it Will Connect
With K 0 & G at Baxter
Follows Visit of Officials to
Get Ore Production Data
Following the visit of C B Wood
assistant to the president of the Kan-
sas City Southern railway to Miami
recently a report Is out that that
railroad will extend Its lines to the
mining district Mr Wood and L O
Scoville traveling freight agent have
a mass of data oa ore production
which they secured here and which
they will use in making the final de-
cision on extending their lines to this
district
The most authentic report Is that
the road plans to extend its lines from
Asbury Mo to Baxter Springs and
then connect up with the K O & G
lines This connection will enable
them to compete for the oil field bus-
iness and open an extremely rich ter-
ritory If the report is true and the
plan materializes railroad service
here will be greatly improved
It is a known fact that the Kansas
City Southern has been interested In
the Ottawa county mining district for
several years ''In view of the fact
that the roads are once more under
private ownership It is- thought that'
now is the logical time to make the
extension '
