Cox Is Tied By Wilson, Says Roosevelt s Sister (Continued From Fate One.) covenant of the league of nations trying to throw us into a multitude of little wars in which we had no concern. The people have not for gotten his slogans, of . hypocrisy. Governor Cox iav only a spokes man for the Wilson ideas. In spite of proclaiming himself a free man, since he paid a visit to the White House, he has not been his own man, but only a spokesman for Mr. Wilson." 'U. He First Planned League. "When Colonel R'ooscvelt received the Nobel peace prize, 10 years ago, he said that he .was hopeful of the ns& of some association between na tions that might prevent conflict," she said. "When the first news of the world war in 1914 reached America, he was in my country home at Herkiner, N. Y. He spoke to me then of the possibility of a league of nations, and planned a scries of articles outlining- a plan for world peace. Frankly, I have won dered why President Wilson never recognized the ideas, instead of as suming so many of them himself. "When he showed me the first article, I asked him if he did not con sider the plan very iceal, but im practical. He replied that he was doubtful himself, and was terribly afraid that it might prove unwork able. He realized that it was im possible to have such an' association unless each nation should reserve its own sovereignty. He still hoped tor some way for nations to join together to make waf s less possible. "I can see his face now rs he said to me one day, 'I am giving it up. I do not see how we can keep Amer ica absolutely safeguarded and enter any league with the world.' Talks with Lodge. " "By the time Mr. Wilson got ,to the subject my brother recognized the impossibility of any international league. Finally, as he lay on his sick bed in December, 1918, he asked that we telegraph Cabot Lodge to come for a conference. The follow ing day Mr. Lodge sat and talked of the league of nations for three hours. Each tentative plank of the presi dent was taken up in turn, in my presence. .Practically every reserva tion afterward brought up by Sena tor Lodge was approved there by Colonel Roosevelt. While he said he hoped, by the republican reserva tions, to make the league a good thing, he very much doubted if even with the reservations it might not be a war breeder instead of a pre ventative of war. "The next day he and Mr. Lodge again went Over the proposals; and Colonel Roosevelt absolutely dis approved of the league unless safe guarded by the reservations. When Governor Cox speaks of his approval I wish it to be understood that what he had in mind was not the Wil sonian document." NoteuAuthor ' Tells How to i Love Enemies Gov.

Crothers of Cam bridge, Mass., hailed as one of the most celebrated authors of this age, who is here to take an active part in the1 43d annual conference of the Unitarian church, deviated from the program of the conference yesterday afternoon, by accepting an invita tion from Superintendent of Schools Beveridge to address a gathering of Omaha high . school and grade school teachers. A large and enthusiastic audience greeted Dr. Crothers in the assembly room of the Central High school. After paying a glowing tribute to the ahthor and welcoming him to Omaha on behalf of the educational buyau, Mr. Beveridge urged upon tha audience of teachers the neces sity of putting into practice what the distinguished speaker would say. Love Your Enemies. "Your Enemies and How to Love Them," was the subject of Dr. Crother's discourse, setting forth in fitting language the variance of at titudes that exist in one class of people toward another. "Why is it,'" Dr. Crothers asked, "that there is such an antagonistic attitude taken by successful busi ness men 'toward college profes sors. ,The college professor is look ed upon by the ordinary business man as one to be despised. Why should he be supposed to take an unrealistic view of any subject just because he knows enough to teach it to others?" Room for Everybody. Referring to the professors of ag riculture he brought out the com parison: "As the dirt farmer feels toward the professor of agriculture, so does the banker feel toward the professor, of political economy." The course of true love between the president and the senate never did run smooth, declared Dr. Cru thers in his reference to the ani mosity that at all times exists be tween "advisor and advisee." i Concluding, Dr. Crothers made the remark that there is room in the world for all kinds of people, of different color, taste,s, habits and ambitions, and what a happier world it would be if they would alt adopt the motto: "Live and let live."
