The first reason for establishing this Little Entente is the common. menace of Hungary. In the opinion of Hungarians, the Paris Peace Conference treated no enemy nation more drastically than it treated Hungary, a state which has represented a remarkable economic self-sufficiency. But the Conference, obstinately proceeding on idealistic ethnographical lines only, and

reason for the establishment of the Little Entente the common menace of Bolshevism. In resisting it Czecho slovakia stands worthily at the head of the Little Entente nations. In dealing with any unrest agrarian, industrial, political-the Czechoslovakian Govern ment has already acquired enviable balance and poise. Thus the counsel which in an alliance a man like Benes could give would be of vital value Such Rumanian statesmen as Bratianu and Jonescu and such Jugoslav states men as the Serb Pasitch and the Croat Trumbitch appreciate the advantages of Czechoslovakian leadership in a com mon resistance to a common enemy.

The Little Entente aims not so much at definite political union as at an equi librium and a unity of action more stable, and hence more influential, than have hitherto characterized the individ ual policies and efforts of the three nations.

Edwin F. Ladd, of North Dakota, a well-known professor in the State Agricultural College, a Non-Partisan Leaguer and nominal Republican, who succeeds the present Senator Gronna.

to Rumania, Czechoslovakia, and Jugoslavia territories vitally essential to Hungary's well-being, particularly as regards mines, forests, and transportation. The Hungarians, a proud people, cherish thoughts of revenge. As soon as they can they will strike with armed force, now here, now there, to regain what they can of their former territorial integrity. Indeed, they are already at work in the Little Entente countries. Largely under the guise of Bolshevist agitation they are fomenting unrest and spreading pro-Hungarian propaganda there. In addition, the many thousands of former Hungarian Government employees, who derived their incomes from official positions held in the lost lands, have become so many agents for the reacquisition of those lands.

we are apt to call them "hard of hearing."

A league for the benefit of the hard of hearing has been in operation for ten years in the metropolis. Its head quarters are at 126 East 59th Street. It maintains an office and meeting-rooms and has some 11,000 yearly callers. It conducts free lip-reading classes under the auspices of the Board of Education and gives scholarships in lip-reading in private private schools. It procures aural exam inations, studies the problems of deafness, and co-operates in efforts towards its prevention. It maintains a shop in which deafened men and women may

find a market for their handiworkthe sales are about $1,400 a year. It conducts eight clubs-for young people, for workingmen, for workingwomen, card clubs, sewing clubs, etc. It has a free bureau for employment and educational direction, and places four-fifths of its applicants. In spite of limitations, the deafened can concentrate, observe keenly, be efficient, thorough, persistent, reliable, and appreciative.

Some seven hundred people, mostly persons of moderate means and ninetyfive per cent of them deafened, have paid the expenses for about a decade of this pioneer organization. It needs more money. We believe that we have but to mention this fact to bring quick and generous response.

THE FISHERMEN'S RACE

VEN in the midst of a Presidential

ermen of Gloucester and the fishermen of Nova Scotia deservedly attracted almost Nation-wide attention. Of late years the builders of fishing vessels both of our own Eastern seaboard and of Nova Scotia have profited much from the lessons learned by the designers of racing yachts, but the fishermen have wisely and necessarily never departed from those standards of sound and seaworthy construction which were characteristic of the earliest of our defenders of the America's Cup.

Representing the Gloucester fleet was the schooner Esperanto, sailed by Captain Marty Welch. Opposing him was the schooner Delawana, champion of the Nova Scotian fleet, sailed by Captain Himmelman. The races were sailed off Halifax, and the courses were some forty miles in length, so laid as to provide all varieties of sailing.

The victory was to be determined by a series of three races, but the American vessel won the first two races held, thereby taking the trophy and the purse. In both races the American vessel manifested its superiority in a point of sailing which has long been the greatest stronghold of both American windjammers and American racing yachts, namely, a beat to windward. This is the point in which seamanship and design affect the result most tellingly. It is a matter of gratification to find that American fishing vessels and American fishermen are still superior in this regard.

It is to be hoped that these races between Nova Scotian fishermen and Gloucestermen will be made an annual event, open only to vessels which are real veterans of their industry and which

with the Administration of Woodrow Wilson the policies and practices with which he and his party had become identified. The American people have had nearly eight years of experience in peace and in war with the kind of Government exemplified by Mr. Wilson and, under his influence and control, adopted by his party; and they have decided that for a time at least that experience has sufficed. They want a change. They saw no chance of getting that change by continuing the Democratic party in administrative power. No amount of argument during four months of campaign could withstand the cumulative power of more than seven years of facts. In undertaking to meet this situation, Governor Cox has argued that he, and not President Wilson, was the candidate; but the people were not voting primarily upon a candidate, but upon a set of policies and practices, and those policies and practices both Mr. Cox and his party had approved and accepted as their inheritance. Unlike Grover Cleveland, who was repudiated by his party and opposed by Mr. Bryan, his party's nominee, Woodrow Wilson has had the satisfaction of placing his stamp upon his party, and thus of submitting through his party his stewardship to the judg ment of his fellow-countrymen. And his fellow-countrymen have chosen to have now another kind of stewardship.

One of the policies which the American people have obviously wished to abandon is that which is termed oneman power or personal government. Long before he was President Mr. Wil
