This quotation from Benjamin Kidd fs'.tfie! motto of a new organization lately launched in Great Britain under the. captivating title, The British League of Youth. The general aim of the organization is declared to be "the expression of the will and the ideals of the younger generation;" and. one of its specific objects' is "to encourage and organize, among, the youth -of both sexes the study of con temporary history and .present-day political problems and movements." . . A The importance attaching j to this movement may be gauged by the fact that Mr- Lloyd George, . the British premier 4s the head of the organiza fion. , The- idea is truly admirable, and ought by all means to be transplant ed to North Carolina and every other American state. Such organizations. would be very fit instruments for the extension and enlargement Vof the work of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts And properly developed in connection with the high schools and colleges of the .State, they should exert an educa tional influence of inestimable value. Their culture naturally would be of the most practical kind and would lring within the reach of every youth such a training in citizenship as now is possible only tothe few. .The, idea is the same, to all intents ana j purposes, tnat underlies our ' "Forum of Student Thought." Our - Monthly prize contests are a means to an end not yet fully declared. We shalF, go forward, patiently and per sistently, along the lines we have laid down, until the wide awake teachers and ambitious students in the High Schools of North Carolina are con vinced of the helpfulness to both, and to the cause of education of these competitions. When it is realized that ; "the publication of the more creditable . school exercises in theine writing and not only a continuing incentive to stu !' dent effort, but that the themes so pubKsKed will afford just the help, by. way of example and suggestion, feat so many students nead when, we say, this service comes to-be und erstood in its larger significances, a .widespread interest is bound to result. .' This point reached arid we have mo thought of stopping short of it ' ur work "then will take , on a very . much .wider aspect. In addition to iflie "prizes -for school exercises, we shall then inaugurate a. series of prize ompetitions for; written debates on subjects of "contemporary history and ' present-day political problems and ' Movements. . . In short, we intend to keep pegging away until this paper, is known far and wide as the organ of the best thought and the highest enthusiasms the youth of North Carolina We adopj for our own the motto of the League of Youth: 1 ve us ine young.

TREATY PROSPECTS - , . ; Mmauon argues , a Senate agreement on th treaty. The country demands it. More ' ! ' , -- hi . . : -r than: three-fourth of the senators de sire it. ; And, paradoxically enough, it is -equally the need of both political parties. " - The Republicans need it, because, controlling the Senate as they do. non-action condemns them to. the de fensive strategy that is so rarely suc- cessfureither in war or in politics. : The Democrats need it as a means of recovering the liberty of thought andLaction essential to the. useful ex istence of the par$y,.and which it has so largely lost through a leadership entirely self-luminous and imperiously dictatorial. Both parties have felt the drift of public opinion- The Republicans are complaisant, from motives of political expediency. And the. Democrats are urged by the calf of freedom. Under such conditions ,the Senate can hardly fail of an agreement. And the substance of the agreement can be safely forecast The Lodge reser vations are likely to be toned down in phraseology-and reinforced in bind ing strength. Instance vthe substitute proposed by the Republican leader for i reservation number one that dealing with the right of withdrawal from the I league. Without weakening any of the safeguards of the original reser vation, it goes further and assures the right of Congress to. give -notice ot such withdrawal by a mere majority, vote, without .the concurrence of the President. . . One. thing is sure beyond peradyen- ture: No provision that , looks to the restriction ' of the Separate powers of the President in the control of foreign relations will be omitted or weakened. The Wilson-Lansing episode has "set the hair on the Republicans and tamed the opposition of the Demo crats. J . . It's a good bet that the Senate will agree; but tne - I'Tesiaent's pnae oi prerogative is very likely to make the Senate agrement a scrap of paper. And then look1 out for squalls! ' THE NOMINATION OF HOOVER WOULD CONFESS PARTY i.-.'-. BANKRUPTCY . Popualr government . can function only through political parties. Even Herbert Hoover, acknowledges this truth, at the same time that he holds himself aloof, from both parties until he can see what the party managers, respectively, stand - for And while himself set apart from partisan affi Kation by this attitude of exceptional virtue, he recognizes also1 that two parties are enough, since a further subdivision might enable, a minority to rule by wielding the balance of power. Therefore, finding immemorial American usage and the righteousness that rises above partisanship at one in support of the thesis that demo cracy is best served through two ef ficient party organizations, thus much may, safely be assumed as the start ihg point of the observations that are to follow. ' An extensive propaganda is afoot for the nomination of Hoover as the Democratic candidate for the presi dency in succession to Woodrcw Wil son. Since a party can only serve the country as it rightly serves. its own welfare, the first inquiry should be a to the probable effect upon the party of the nomination proposed., ! , . Hoover is known only to have voted a Republican ticket; he does not claim to be a Democrat, and the onlv nros- pect held out to the part of secur ing his support in the coming elec- ion. is that the party managers may be; more successful in catering to his political tastes than the managers, of the Republican party. What, pray would be the effect upon the morale of the party of set- ing aside, all its true and tried leaders in order ' to bestow its highest honor upon a mugwump of such grandiose pretensions? What would happen to the fighting spirit of the. army that founi itself under the jihief Command oij a straggler irom tne rear ranics of the enemy? ' The Hoover propaganda presup poses the party's bankruptcy in lead ership, and when the party itself makes formal confession . of such bankruptcy by going outside of its own ranks for a leader, the disintegra tion of its forces is inevitable If so obvious a truth-required illus tration, it would be necessary only to compare Seymour's ' race , against Grant in 1868, while the military prestige of the later was' still uncCm med by the failures of civil adminis tration, ;wjth the Greeley - fiasco, ; in opposing Grant's second candidacy, four years later. . The fairness of the test: must be conceded when it is re membered tfiat the Greeley adventure in mugwumpery was sandwiched be tween the splendid showing of Sey mour in 1868 and the election of Til den in 1876 both these, of the straightest sect, Democrats. The motive of Hoover -diversion ;is not the welfare of the Democratic or ganization, but the' betrayal tf i the democratic principle.. The genuine Democrats who have "fallen for it1 are either victims of their own heed lessness of the facts of human nature and party experience, or4 dupes of the propaganda of reaction of which the New York World La the lottdest touter. rATTrVRRfrT,V No Man's Land Martha Haywood, C R. Some one has written us this letter, which we cannot answer, and we will be glad for any one who feels that they can to do so-through . this . col umn. ' ' ' . SOME-HOW FLUNKED? Dear C. R.: Some one much interested was tell ing me the other day the story of a young soldier who came home from France. unabld to see "War-neurosis" said Dr. Abram Joyhnson, the psycho logist the man who knows his fellow man-after various physicians and surgeons had examined the ryoung man's eyes and said there was noth ing wrong with them. , The many dif ferent kinds of War Neurosis, the pshcyologist enumerated as' paralysis, melancholia, deaf ness, ' blindness, weeping and hysteria." In any one of which hiding places, he said the sub conscious ego-instinct-the "sauve-qui-peut" -of the anhnal mind often chased war ? weary men who had never come in contact, with exploding shells of any kind. "Youare blind" he told the blind man "as the fat 'possum is blind", because instinct tells him it will save his fat to roll up and hang dead from a limb out of reach, while Brer Fox and Brer Rabbit are run down to feed the pack." Fat and soft you were( stall-fed-up-toyour-back-teeth with this dirty business of war before you were evey drafted and six months of ' filth and racked, of mud and blood and stench were too much on top of the cold nightmare your over-worked imagination had glutted you with - for ; three years. Right iri the face of the big show, you had what the French call "An .immense disgust", a terrible animal nausea" of filth and fear. You hated war. its confusion, discomfort and physical re sponsibility, you were no coward, you were fighting two fights, your con scious self went on obeying orders while your sub-conscious self beat on tne doors ot your brain, to nnd a way out". A naive. young extrovert lured by the glamor of a great cru sade, ycu sprawled flat before the knowledge that something you could not brow-beat, within the sacred por tals of your ego-mania wcs reading to' you the riot act. Compulsive in stinctive terror, incessantly demanded of you to get out, to be done with the bark and noise of the filthy Huns, tp rid your body of the vermin "that ate you alive. Your" pestered heart turned cold in the face of he guns all its -blood streaming to; the run ning muscles of your legs; that was instinctive, "so every hunted animal gathers itself up for its race from the hounds. But you were afraid" to ad- mit fear, to run forward to meet it, to "cuss" like a man your shaking legs and order tnem to carry on: Uut beyond, there was rough work to be done, ghastly pieces of men to be help ed back to die mopping up all the nauseating aftermath-pf a "big show". "Compulsive emotion suppressed in conscious action slops over into the sub-conscious with, amazing results The blow on your head -that sent the blood into your eyes 'called the count. Reality had ranged beyong the limit of endurance. Ypu rolled up and went blind. ' ( "And here you are today still blind and evasive; still shirking tfce gaff of he god of the things as they are." Now, C. R., isn't that about the diagnosis Sir Edward , Grey subtlest of international psychologists, in the fblandest pf diplomatic, language, is giving the world today, as the reason that America, in the language of , one of her' greatest' divines, "Somehow flunked", when the whole world wait ed to follow her spiritual leadership.
