There has been no more. far

water's edge and over the graves

Moreover, the votes of British
colonies could never by any 'pos
sibility hurt us because we have
an absolute veto on any measure
concerning ourselves. Majority
vote is not the rule of the League
but -unanimity.
The League does not prevent
boundaries being changed but
only prevent their being changed
by war by external aggression.
In fact it provides much needed
machinery for changing boun
daries by arbitration, and it does
not interfere in internal revo
lutions.
. Some critics objected to the
first tentative draft of the
League on the ground that it in
terfered with the Monroe Doc
trine. It didn't, yet, to silence
criticism a specific referenoe to
the Monroe Doctrine was insert
ed in the final draft.
As it waq, Theodore Roosevelt
once told Germany to keep out of
Venezuela or he would use our
warships, and previously Giover
Cleveland told England essen
tially the same thing. In both
cases we were saved the use of
force because we were known to
be willing if need be to use it.
And for a century since Monroe
we have never had to fire a shot,
just because it was known we
were ready to do so.
Theodore Roosevelt said : "The
nations should agree on certain
rights which should not be ques
tioned, such as territorial inte
grity. All should guarantee each
of their number in the posses
sion of these rights. They should
furthermore agree, not only to
abide, each of them, by the de
cision of the Court, but all of
them to unite with their military
forces, to enforce the decree of
the Court as against any recal
citrant member.' Under these
circumstances it would be real
and effective. It would be im
possible to say that such an
agreement would at once and
permanently stop war,- but it
would mark an important ad
vance. It would certainly mean
that the chances of war were
minimized.-For it will mean
that at last a long stride has
been taken in the efforts to put
the collective strength of civ
ilized mankind behind the col
lective purpose of mankind to
secure the peace of righteous
ness, the peace of fustice, among
the natiorfm of the earth."
As Mr. Hoover, who closely
follows Mr. Taft, has' recently
said, our adhesion to the Treaty
of Versailles is a necessity. And,
if we reject the League we shall
have to reject the whole treaty.
Again, if we reject the Treaty
we lose all claim to indemnity.
These three reasons for voting
for Cox and Roosevelt, namely,
(1) to insure our entering the
League, (2) tp check the Senate
oligarch&y, and (3) to uphold
the honor of the nation, are the
great and compelling ones.
A vote for Hardingr is really

How Large is an Atom?
ATOMS are so infi:iiesimal that to be seen under
the most powerful microgenpe one hundred
ilion must be grouped'. The atom used to be the
smallest indivisible unit of matter. When the X-Rays
and radium were discovered physicists found that they
were dealing with smaller things than atoms--with par
ticles they call "electrons."
Atoms rre built up of electrons, just as the solar
system is built up of sun and planets. Magnify the
*hyydrogen atom, says Sir Oliver Lodge, to the size of a
* cathedral, and an electron, in comparison, will be no
bigger than a bird-shot.
