SENATORIAL CHILDISHNESS

NNE OF THE REPUBLICAN newspapers
~ gloats over the fact that certain republic
an senators do not indicate willingness to ac'
cept the presidents invitation to visit the White
House and discuss with him the terms OF the
peace treaty.
Among the absentees are certain senators
who have been loudest in damnation OF the
treaty and condemnation of the president, no
matter what he may may not do And one
of the things they have damned him loudest for
was his alleged tendency to "go it alone to
refuse to take senators into his confidence.
But now that the treaty is ready and the
senates innings are at hand these senators
who have been most vociferous in their denun-
citation are not disposed to take advantage Of
the opportunity they have been 50 loudly de
manding, to go over the treaty's provisions
with the president.
1t is strange that critics of this type are 50
blind that they cannot see that they are max
ing themselves rdcuous that they cannot
understand that his position will become i'm
pregnable because of their refusal of the OPP
portunity to go over the terms of the treaty and
the articles of the league covenant freely and
frankly with him. He was instrumental in the
drafting: he is more familiar with the terms
than they.
Is it not their duty under their oath of OF
flee to gain all the information they may from
him or any other source, so they can more IN
telligently discharge their duty when the time
comes to vote on ratification? We believe the
American people feel that it is.

SAVING THE PUBLIC MONEY

IT T TO THE LAST Of June the war depart
" ment had lquidated war contracts
amounting to approximately billion and
quarter dollars. By this process, Sl,279l59,-
600, or 86.2 per cent of the amount OF the con-
tracts. was saved. There remained more than
two billion dollars Of unfulfiled contracts to
be cancelled or iquidated. On these, It was
estimated, approximately two billions Of dol
lars would be saved. A total saving of more
than three billions of dollars will accordingly
have been effected.
Republicans in congress are attempting to
take the credit for these savings. New oppro-
priatons are much smaller, and the depart
ments of the government are sending to con-
gress estimates greatly below what would have
been necessary and what were requested be
fore the armistica was signed. In their claims
of economy" and their boasts about ''re-
trenchment," republicans in congress are at
tempting to deceive the public into believing
that if it had not been for their precautions,
the appropriations would have been vastly
larger
AS matter of fact it is the departments,
and particularly the war and navy depart
ments, that are showing the way to lessen APP
propriatiOns

The Help Your Family drive sug'
gested by the McAlester News Capital
is a start in the right direction" com
ments Bert Love in The Ardmoreite,
but it doesn't seem to go far enough.
While our idea may not seem quite so
atrulstic or unselfish, we beg leave to
insinuate a suggestion to the effect that
tho most popular drive that could be
started would be Help Yourself drive.
Help! Help
In reply we beg leave to say to Bert
that we don't doubt the sincerity of his
suggestion, but do feel that he isn't
living up to his reputation as an in
terpretator of the signs of the times.
II appears here that such campaign
is the most universally successful one
being carried out at this writing. All
the rest are purely incidental to 1t and
few quotas there be that lag behind,
proportionately speaking.

LODGES SHANTUNG WEEP

N EPUBLICAN "strong men" in the senate,
1Nand particularly Senator Lodge long noted
for his familiarity with and interest in foreign
affairs are moved to tears over the "crime of
Shantung" Because of Japans acquisition OF
the territory that Germany grabbed IRON
China, Senator Lodge and others would reject
the peace treaty and throw the league OF ma
tions covenant into the boneyard
1t is more than passing strange that Sen
ator Lodge should suddenly develop so deep
an interest in Chna's territorial integrity after
the lapse Of twenty-one years during which he
was silent and stone cold on that subject.
1t was in 1928 that the International
robbery was committed and Shantung passed
to the possession Of Germany Senator Lodge
was then in the senate, President Mckinley
was in the White House, the republicans were
in control everywhere. Senator Teller and some
leaders of the opposition party denounced the
dismemberment of China and declared it to be
Americas duty to 'join with Great Britain in
a notice to Russia and Germany that dismem-
berment will not be permitted
Did Senator Lodge define similar attitude
for himself? Not until the lapse Of twenty one
years, then to suddenly burst into tears, to be
moved to intense indignation by the transfer Of
a bit of territory from one international robbef
to another strong-arm nation whose title is at
least no worse than was that of the imperallst
ic country Senator Lodge saw commit the origin
a robbery without so much as lifting his voice
in protest Verify, the years have sottened the
Massachusetts senator's heart but have failed
to make consistency his jewel

The seemingly benign and beneii'

harmful results, analogous TO those
that have attended the transplanting

in Australia, the mongoose in Jamaica,
and English sparrow and Norway rat
in America are wellknown examples
Even when such transplanting is
done advisedly and with circumspec
ton there is a possibility of untoward
results that will offset any benefits
that may accrue. Injury may arise
from a general disturbance OF the 'bil
ance of nature by the introduction
of new factors into given waters. OF
from the supplanting of one kind oi
animal by another less desirable. The
ignorance or discretion Of private per
