The man in the threadbare
clothes jumped down and disap-
peared--and the mob concluded
to make a visit to the Tuileries.
The lamentation had changed to
hate. Smashing in the doors Of
the royal apartment, the rabble
poured into the palace. An apple
woman sat in the Queens bed,
offering her fruit for sale. Wom-
en- pried into the closets and ar
rayed themselves in the Queens
garments. One of her caps was
placed on the head OF a young
girl. who snatched it of, threw It
upon the floor and stamped It
under her feet. All through the
splendid place roamed the ragged
democrats and their wives and
sisters. 1t was, indeed, the Peo-
pies Day at the Tuileries, and
nightly did they enjoy It.
To the credit of the mob It is
written that ii would allow no
one TO disturb the toys OF the lit

in the nursery just as he left

OF course, she thinks that word

WHO WANTS THAW BACK?
Editor The Georgian:

Editor The Georgian:
l heartily approve OF your
editorials on Harry K. Thaw.
One point you neglected to
bring in, and that was that the
only persons that want to get
Harry K. Thaw back into Mat
teawan are the men that are
making large sums by prosecut-
ing him.
Certainly the people OF the
State of New York don't want
Thaw returned, and II he was
permitted to so free, as he should
be, he would never return to
New York State; so. why spend
thousands of dollars Of the peo-
pies money to bring him back9
Undoubtedly Mr. Jerome would
like to have him returned, as he

Friendships Maintained.

During the past hundred years
the United States has concluded
trade treaties with AZ nations. We
now have such agreements with
twenty different countries. Fiji
teen of these conventions have
been terminated by twelve foreign
nations.
Their Examinations by these
foreign nations have not in the
least disturbed the friendly rela-
lions subsistlng between them
and the United States. Nor is
there reason to fear reprisals,
retaliations, trade or tariff wars,
that alarmists predict will fol-
low the enforcement of either the
discount section Of the tariff or
the termination by the United
States of remaining trade trea-
ties.
The rights of other nations to
terminate treaties are not supe-
rior to the rights of the United
States-the other party to the
treaties-also to terminate them.
Other nations found it to their in
terest to terminate such treaties,
The United States neither object
ed nor retaliated.
Our reasons for abrogating the
remaining treaties are sound and
substantial. They stand in the
way of our building up our deep
sea shipping, and their due OBJ
servance will cost us millions of
dollars annually. Now that It is
so obviously to our interest to
terminate our trade treaties, 9TH
err nations can not object. and
they will not retaliate. It is no
act of bad faith for the United
States to exercise a right 1t re-
serves, in entering into these
trade treaties, to terminate them.
Treaties Disastrous.
Provision was inserted in each
treaty defining the procedure by
which either party could termi-
nate 1t. II we conform to the
prescribed procedure we dis
charge in full all our obligations.
Trade treaties are mere instru-
ments providing for reciprocal
advantages A dozen nations at
different times found that the
disadvantages to them outweighed
the advantages They therefore
terminated the treaties, as they
had a right to DO.
When we began making these
trade treaties, our ships carried
over 80 per cent of our foreign
commerce. Said Daniel Web
ster, in 1926: 1--WE have a COM
merce which leaves no sea unex-

will be followed by other steps, all
leading to a. clearly defined goal.
That goal Is an American deep

the national greatness of the
United States.
The next urgently needed step
Is the abrogation of trade trea-
ties.
Most of these treaties provide
that imports in vessels OF the
contracting nations shall pay no

Every year these treaties remain
in force they will reduce our GUS
