Political Diplomacy.

One OF the most grievous SINS OIL
the Wilson administration has been
its constituencies utilization Of for
eign affairs for political ends and n
striking instance of this has just oc-
Cured. Under the immediate SUI
pervision of Mr.. Wilson, Secretary
Bryan negotiated a treaty with CO.
lombia. In order to reflect on the
Roosevelt administration and its ac-
quirement of the Panama canal zone,
the United States was made by Mr..
Bryan to agree to pay to Colombia
an indemnify of S25,000,00O and TO
embody in the treaty an apology for
the course of the United States.
Experienced statesmen, Including
both Democratic and Republican sen
ators, begged the president not to
permit the treaty to be. signed, assur-
ing him that the Senate never could
be induced to ratify such an agree
ment and that if he caused Mr.. Bryan
to sign it it could only unwarrantably
raise the hopes Of the Colombians and
ultimately in their believing the
United States guilty of bad faith. As
usual, Mr.. Wilson turned deaf ear
to all advice and even asserted that
the treaty contained no apology. He
caused Mr.. Bryan to sign it and the
Colombia Senate ratified it.
The treaty has been long pending
in the foreign relations committee Of
the United States Senate and has this
week been amended by reducing the
indemnity to $15,0O0,OO0 and great
ly modifying the apology which. de-
spite Mr.. Wilson's denials, 1t was
found to contain. Even in this form
there is little likelihood that the Sen
ate will ratify it, but already the
Colombians are intensely indignant.
Their minister is charging the United
States with bad faith, and the presi-
dents willingness to play politics IN
his dealing with this little South
American country has more than I'M
done all the good his administration
may have accomplished in Its efforts
to cultivate the friendship OF the Re-
publics to the south Of us.

Mr. WILSON Returns.

President Wilson has returned

turned out to see him, and appar-
entity unconscious of the inconsistent
cies in his speeches and the incon-
gruities between them and the course
Of other members of his administra-
ton during his absence.
The presidents enthusiasm over
the crowds which turned out to hear
him recalls the pertinent story of a
certain distinguished Republican
who was candidate for high Office
in 1900, when William Mckinley was
running against William ]. Bryan.
Astounded at the crowds which came
to hear him and his fellow Republi-
can speakers in the West, this states
man, having completed his speech,
left the platform and addressed a
citizen on the edge of the crowd.
Did you ever have as big crowd in
this town before?" he inquired,

Somewhat abashed, the stateman

CHILDREN ARE
WELL CLOTHED.
In England and the Women Are
Not Spending All Their
Money for Drink.

Correspondence or Associated iIebbJ
LONDON, Feb. 11.-"Neyer during
my thirty years experience as a
school teacher have the children OF
the elementary schools, especially
those OF the poorer districts, been so
well clothed and shod or appeared SO
tidy and well nourished as since the
beginning of the war" This was the
remark made by one Of London's vet
eran school teachers in reply to the
reported evil effects OF the substan-
tial separation allowances made TO
the wives of Of soldiers OF the British
army.
reports have been current through
out the country that many Of the sol
diers' wives have given way to the
drinking habit and neglected their
homes during their husbands alb
sence at the front. Teachers, clergy
men OF all denominations and other
persons in close touch with the labor
ing classes almost unanimously de-
clare that such is not the cise in the
majority OF instances. They point
out that owing to the disappearance
OF many OF the male habituCs Of sa-
looms the presence Of women in those
establishments has become notice
able. The numbers of those addicted
to drinking at bars, however. has
they assert, not increased. Most OF
the women, on the contrary, have
taken advantage OF the fact that they
have more money at their disposal to
replenish their wardrobes and those
Of their children, and in many in
stances they have placed some Of
their allowances in savings banks AMI
will thus be able to give their hus-
bands a pleasant surprise on their re-
turn to civil life after the war.

Since the death of Canopen Order
ly, Ramshackle House had held the
proud distinction of being the pollt-
est man in the world. He rarely did
anything. but when he did, 1t was
either according to the rules OF ETH
quette or not at all. Ii he was served
ice cream without an ice cream fork,
he simply let it langush there.
AS our story opens, Ramshackle
House Is peacefully sleeping with his
ankles crossed and one hand behind
his head, the attitude prescribed by
Hofmelster's Book of Well Bred Pos
lures.
Suddenly he was awakened by
creaking sounds, as of creaks.
"a burglar!" was his first thought,
and also his second. His first two
thoughts were right and the burglar
at the second landing stopped in sur
prise rs RamshAckle House confront
ed him with leveled revolver.
"Now you march right to the lock-
up!" commanded the worlds politest
man. But hold! Stop! Stay! Blessed
If | know whether it's polite to pre-
sede burglar down stairs or follow
him. Wait moment and I'll look
it up.
And he ran back to his room for
Pisty's Unusual Cases and How to
Proceed" and of course the burglar
took that opportunity to make good
his escape. However, it was just as
well, and Ramshackle House, who
had been unable to find thing about
burglars in any of his books, was
fearfully relieved when he returned
to find the fellow gone.

HUNTING REDUCED.
(By Associated press.)

@@S'SN's'NON.
BERLIN, Feb. 11.-The war
has evidently had a marked
effect in reducing hunting In
Alsace-Lorraine, as appears
from recent decree Of the
Strassburg authorities. Wild
hogs have increased in some
parts Of the country to such
an extent that the government
has given to the local authori-
ties the right to order the hunt
ing of the animals at frequent
intervals during the winter
months. This applies to cases
where the owners Of hunting
rights fail to shoot off the in
crease Of the hogs, and the lat
ter commit rayages upon the
crops.

The Farmers Union Association
realizing the vast Importance of the
potato industry to this valley are try

MONTE VISTA BALL TEAM
OUT OF DENVER CONTEST
AS RESULT OF ACCIDENT

Great disappointment prevails in
Monte Vista at the failure of our
crack ball team to get place on
the Post tournament at Denver.
With one of the best pitching STATS
ever collected in the state by Class
nization of players in the other de-
partments, it looked as tho we were
in for the bacon. The loss of the
two games played. however, is easily
accounted for in the accident which
put Catcher Mcintosh out OF the
playing.
In the eighth inning of the game
against Greeley, Johnnie received a
split hand and in the succeeding in
ming the Greeleyites hammered in
the winning run. Score to s.
On Wednesday, with McGraw 60
ing great, Evans, the substitute
catcher, had six passed balls, which
allowed Fort Lyons to win by score
of 5 to 2. McGraw was forced to let
up on the smoke but famed 12 men
at that.
The loss of two games by any
team eliminated them from the
tournament.
A challenge has been sent to the
winning team in the tournament to
play Monte Vista at the home
grounds on some date to be decided
upon.
