Piets and Scot*.
In his Dictionary of Phrase and
Fable, the learned Rev. Dr. E. Cob
ham Brewer, writes upon Piets and
Scots: "Piet Is not the Latin plctl
(painted people). As Piets and Scots
are always mentioned together, there
Is no reason why one name should be
Latin and the other Gaelic. Scot ta
the Gaelic 'sgod ( a dweller In woods
and forests), and Plct Is the Gaelic
plct-lst (freebooters), the two being
equivalent to foresters and free
booters.”

Lindsey had the little hen fast and
was trying to bring her head close to
the ground. "What might you be try
ing to do?” exclaimed her father com
ing upon the small girl In the yard.
“I’m trying to make this hen say her
prayers.” “Well,” said the parent sad
ly, “I hope she’ll eay: ’Now I lay me.’ ”
WHO IS HYPOCRITICAL I
Mr. Cox asserts that "the man who
says the League of Nations means war
is hypocritical and he knows it.”
Well, let us look at this assertion
without hypocrisy and see what it
comes to.
Article X of the treaty provides that
the members of the league “undertake
to respect and preserve as against
external aggression the territorial in
tegrity and existing political inde
pendence of all members of the
league," and it directs in case of threat
of aggression the council shall "ad
vise upon the means by which this
obligation shall be fulfilled.”
Is it hypocrisy to hold that this
means war?
On this point Senator Harding cited
a significant incident in his speech
last week on foreign relations.
"A few days ago,” he said, “a dele
gation of an organization whictk calls
itself a Society for the Prevention of
War appealed to the premier of Great
Britain to unite and use the powers
of the world in defense of Poland,
Armenia, and the Dardanelles. The
British premier replied, according to
his remarks quoted by the news
papers, to the effect that, while the
formation of 'an international army’
would be ‘an ideal solution,’ it could
not be accomplished because tjie
European nations could not furnish
the troops and the United States had
withdrawn from co-operation’ — a
polite and diplomatic phrase, and more
exactly meaning, of course, that the
senate of the United States had not
completed the partial obligation as
sumed by the president to do that very
thing—that is, to ‘furnish the troops.’ ”
Was Mr. Lloyd George hypocritical
in his remarks to the delegation or
has he a different understanding of
the meaning of Article X from that
which Mr. Cox would like American
voters to adopt?
If there is a difference of opinion,
wouldn’t it be wise to have it cleared
up by an explicit reservation to our
agreement to this “obligation,” as pro
posed by the republican senators,
rather than to dodge, as attempted by
Mr. Cox?
Besides Article X, the covenant
which Mr. Cox proposed to ratify with
out reservation, there is in Article XI
the following: “Any war or threat of
war, whether immediately affecting
any of the members of the league or
not, is hereby declared a matter of
concern to the whole league, and the
league shall take any action that may
be deemed wise and effectual to safe
guard the peace of nations."
Does this mean what it Bays, or is
it mere hypocrisy?
Article XII provides that in the
event of the failure to carry out the
award of arbitration provided by the
covenant, “the council shall propose
what steps should be taken to give ef
fect thereto.”
Article XVI provides that should
any member of the league resort to
war in disregard of Its covenants un
der Articles XII, XIII, or XV, “it
shall pro facto be deemed to have
committed an act of war against all

other members of the league,” ami
that "It shall be the duty of the coun
cil in such case to recommend to the
several governments concerned what
effective military, naval, or air force
the'members of the league Bhall sev
erally contribute to the armed forces
to be used to protect the covenants of

It may be hypocrisy to hold that
these provisions mean war, in view
of the fact that war in defiance of
them is at this moment being waged
In Poland, threatened on the Albanian
frontier, and smoldering throughout
eastern Europe and Asia Minor.
But our notion of hypocrisy is that
displayed by the democrats, who pro
pose that we enter the league of na
tions, not with frank, open, and ex
plicit reservations, but without intend
ing to carry out wholeheartedly and
to the full the obligations it prescribes
and imposes.—The Chicago Tribune.
