Yale Review To understand rightly the char- acter of a man or of a state, one must first understand its origin. The German republic did not grow out of the feeling that, conditions under the Hohenzollerns were in- tolerable; nor out of the lack of civil freedom, which, in spite of an apparently democratic franchise, stamped the German people as a par- iah among the nations of Western Europe. Nor was it the result of the traditional arrogance of a ruling caste made up of junkers and army officers, who had, time out of mind, divided among themselves all the civil and military offices leading to preferment, and who knew how to turn to the advantage of their own Picture News From Europe (1) Church Congress at Southend, Belgium --- Head of Procession Leaving the High r, England--Blueiackets on Guard Oven | brought about a world catastrophe-- | J'-la catastrophe which he could have | averted with a wave of his hand or | a single word.

Maurice Low in January. Yale Ree view, Politicians who met in 1920 to frame platforms and nbminate candi- |dates had no longer to cater to the | saloon but they had to defer to the women. It was a new condition re- |quiring new methods. A 'deal | with liquor was not always possible, {but it was always simple. It was, to | speak bluntly, a mere matter of | price. Liquor had a pocket nerve, |but woman has a heart. Liquor had jan appetite, but woman has a mor- {al sense. Liquor had no sentiment | but self-interest; woman--poor crea= jture that she is!---is dominated by {sentiment which engulfs her self- |interest. The politician who in the {past had successfully "handled" {liguor, who knew how to approach { it, what argument to use and what {terms to exact or bargain for, found {himself an amateur playing a new | game when he approached woman. His training went for naught. He |couldn't slap a women--often dain« ty and exquisitely dressed---on the shoulder and "jolly" her with a | cigar, or 'effusively offer to take her | to see the boss, or with a wink suge | gest that the lid was coming off {and there would be a continuous roll of smirched dollars across the pol- ished bar. . He was clumsily gallant, - effusively complimentary, too recent ly dressed in his morality--a coat so | newly donned that the creases were | still there--to be convincing or to. inspire sincerity, Free Medical Advice.
