HEFFERNAN. 'This year August goes In for dampness. The weather man insists that there have been rainless days since sweet July took to the woods of ime. If that la true they slipped by In the fog. But the damp air that came in with August sticks in all senses of the verb.

Thunderstorms fall to dislodge It and are themselves converted by, the miasma lnt9 demons of dally visitation. Hay will not hair curl. Salt cements itself in its cellar. Crackers are crackless. Matches squeak, sputte and die.

Cigarette are damp tubes of despair. Starched lineh wilts like the League confronted with a war. "Food is a mockery and drink folly. N. Y.

Sun. Why. blame August? It is merely a creation of man. an arbitrary measure-' ment of what the learned Mr. Eien-stein calls "The Fourth Dimension." If Jupiter Pluvious picks on August as a month in which to pour forth his tears, how can help It? If Jove hurls thunderbolts through tho August atmosphere, why apply all these harsh' names to August.

If the sea sendd Us iturk" and the sun frizzles through it why put it all up to August? Give August a chance. Doubtless It would be a cold month if we had placed it at the end of the winter Instead of at tho end ot summer. in fact August cannot be so bad. If It were why should every one desire It for vacation and pleasure. Hotel keepers tell us that soma years ago they could count on a fair June patronage, a full July patronage, but that now the season Is all heaped up on August.

What a complaining race we are. Alt winter we yearn for sum mer and a chance to get out of doors. We kick at the slush, the ice, the enow and the cold. Then along comes sum-' mer and we object to the heat. Why not grin and" it.

Or cuss and bear it. We, have to take it as it comes, anyhow, and while It may relieve our feelings to call August names, it doesn't seem to bother August, Once there was a man who let his wife wallop him. "How is it, asked a curious neighbor, "that you, a big fellow, let' that little woman box your oars?" "Well," answered tho obliging husband, "it doesn't hurt me any, and it pleases Mary Ann." Perhaps Nature foels that way about our complaints. She thinks we are small and petulant and it doesn't hurt her any, no mattor how we kick and So she goes right on being cold in January and hot in August, letting snow fall in winter and-thunderstorms rage in summer, Finally it is a singular thing that .1 as peppery an organ of public opinion and as well named as The Sun should begin to complain of August. Per- haps-It has a double personality and it is tho Herald part of it that is making objection.

"A deliberate and willful untruth'-Governor Cox has called the contention that the League of Nations t'ovenaut would enable the l.rauuo or Council to order American troops to action. Is it untrue? Article X.

provides: Die members of the Ueasue idirtaka to respect and preserve against externaj aggression the, iriiorial integrity and 'rxistin-ilti. al in.ieppndenee of all mem-rs of the League. In case of such aearessilQn or in case of threat or of such ni. the Council shall alvi-e the moans hv which this ol-at: ha.l he fulfilled. In this article, which Prcsitient declared the heart of the Treaty, tii.

re is a distinct statement that the Council shall advise on "the means" In- which the obligation to resist invasion shall be fulfilled. It can be fulfilled only in one way, and that a way whifh leads to armed opposition. There is in this clause no mention of the Constitution of this or of any ct untry which is a member of the League. Mr. Wilson has said that all the parties to the Treaty had the various Constitutional checks of all the governments in view, but if this is so it is difficult to understand his opposition to the Lodge amendments.

in fact, the league Government could be only a government of superior force ultimately, and all its provisions presuppose the use of force. Why is it not better to have the United States act in each contingency in accordance with her own laws It might easily happen that the Council's decree would be objectionable to the people of the United States, and the Government would have to assume the obligations of a war in which the majority of its people did not believe. Lloyd George is now having an experience which shows how difficult it is to force a foreign policy against the will of any considerable number of the people. It is far better, we think, to let th? peace spirit grow up among the nations, untrammelled by obligations to which the peoples object. This, on the side, it would appear that there is not a word in the Covenant or an event in European politics since it was drawn, to indicate that the Republican contention is untrue in any sense.

The "Oligarchy." Governor Cox speaks frequently of the Senate Oligarchy. He is referring, of course, to the- Senate combination which insisted upon what everybody now considers wise, the amendment of the League Covenant by reservations. However, Governor Cox must know that the Senate combination was not an oligarchy. An oligarchy is a collection of families governing a State. The rcservation-lsts of the Senate were not even a Republican combination.

There were many Democrats who voted for the Lodge reservation. What the Governor means is simply the Republican Senators who stood gut for the American principle as against the international principle when the two came into conflict. It is the fashion of our Democratic friends to say that the Republican party wants the President to be a mere puppet of Congress. The Republicans do not think that way about it at all. They have simply observed that Mr.

Wilson, having a theory that a strong President must bend to his will the other branches of Government used the war as a pretext for putting that theory into practise. This is not satisfactory to them, nor is it, think, to the majority of our citi zens. They have observed that during the war Mr.Wilson's Administration spent money on airplanes' that were not constructed, and guns that were ot produced in time for service. They have observed that Mr. Wilson tried to make peace conventions without the advice and consent of the Senate, although such advice and consent are required by the Constitution.

Mr. Wilson may have thought that in all this he was ucting for the best interest of the country, but nevertheless those who have read history know that it is by just such insensible changes in the Constitution of a nation that a President becomes a ruler. The people of the United States do not want the process to go on until thy President is more than a President, nor do they wish to see the office degraded to that of a puppet. The League and Poland. There is considerable discussion beV cause Lloyd George said in Parlia-mcn the other day when asked why the League of Nations had not interfered in the matter of Poland: It could not hnvo been done.

The ILeague cannot operate where there is no unanimity, and It Is quite clear that (he Allien have not the same views regarding Russia and Poland. As a matter of fact, provision is -aade for League operation, even where there is no unanimity. As a rrrattcr of fact the question was not submitted to the League, but one Ally, on its own responsibility, told Poland to go ahead, while another told it to quit. If, as-Lloyd George intimated, and as the Democratic friends of the League have frequently asserted, the League could not act without unanimity it would be about as usef ul in any crisis at was the old Pjlish Diet, "Checkerboard" Interesting With Jose Ruben in Lead A sain the refined and polished Jose Ruben poses prettily as a sinister but wistful hero." Thla time it's In "The Checkerboard," by Frederic and Fanny Hatton, last night's offering at uie iniriy-ninin Street Theatre. When last seen tho talented Frenchman was a Spanish pianist dope fiend in support of Elate Ferguson, Last night ha was the eon of a Russian prince and an indiscreet danseuse.

He is a lad of noble Instincts but shady practises. Of course the' sweet und elewatlng influence of a "dear little girl" pauses him to step off the road to degradation and incidentally "out of her life forever." According- to ths story, Feodor Maslmoff is the tool of unscrupulous Russians, who persuade him to poso a a Russian nobleman-and make love to the daughter of an American millionaire. An a characterization the millionaire falls through entirely. As the days go on, Feodor becomes really fond of the girl 'and at last withdraws the Contest for her hand In favor of an -American whom he Is sure she must be fond of. Ruben does well In his part In an unenthusiasttc way.

The only genuinely sincere performance of the evening Is given by Kate Mayhew, who portrays a good hearted mother who is afrair of the shams and iniquities of society. Norval Keedwell plays naturally? and simply, taking the best advantage of what the playwrights given him. Several different varieties of feminine pulchritude, were represented in the cast. Dorothy Smotler was a lovely Russian dancer, and Zola Talma and Miriam Sears presented two very different but very pleasing types. ACTIVITIES OF BROOKLYN LHE Tamney Association Picnic.

Meanwhile at Minsk the reprcscnta-' uirv iyes tne Soviets are talking softly. one of the armistice sioners, "We are not conquerors and virti-j1 shall evacuate Polish territory diately Poland gives us guarantees 'k that the Polish Republic has abandoned its progressive policy and is re-j solved to commence peaceful, con-amna Etructive work." On the face of things at present the peace of Europe depends in a large measure upon France and Poland. Vnder French advire, and in of French policy the Poles have prevented the Reds from impns- ing their system by force of arms upon Middle Europe. They are on the orit ground, understand the enemy with whom they are dealing, and it is to be hoped will find a way to bring tilities to a close and enable the Run--sians to work out their own form of uox notable government while protecting the remainder of the European conti-' f- ncnt from the excursions of the shevists.

Numerous tables were loaded with articles of all kinds and befire the night was over were empty was expected that several Demo cratic candidates and politicians would speak but at the last moment plans were changed. So great was the enjoyment of the dancing. Jostling, singing crowd that the officials of the club decided to hold the block party again tonight.

State Rate Decision. It is presumable that the Interstate 1 Commerce Commission, when it fixed i railroad rate schedule which would give to the common carriers a reasonable profit, had in mind the railroad laws of the various States. This is the interpretation placed upon their action by the Public Service Commission of the Second District, which refuses the request of the railroads for permission to Increase fares for passengers traveling within the State. The Commission makes the distinction between State and Interstate Commerce, and it insists that the railroads shall receive no more for carrying passengers in the State than is prescribed in the charters of the various Corporations.

The railroads asked that the rates fixed by the Interstate Commerce Commission be registered and officially authorized by the State body. Its request included both pas senger and freight rates. On freight the State Commission allows the increase of 40 per excepting milk and cream, and giving as a reason for such exemption the fact that those two commodities are usually carried passenger trains. 1 It is pointed out by the Commission that in this State steam j-oads in excess of forty miles in length are limited to passenger rate of three cents a mile, while there is a statutory 2 cents a mile rate on the New York between Albany and Buffalo. The point that the insistence upon State schedules would be unjustly discriminatory against certain roads Is noted by the Commission.

Thus roads running through Krw York without crossing the New Jersey line would be restricted, whf roads crossing New Jersey wdld be allowed to. charge the rates fixed by the Interstate Commerce Ommission.
