TREATY RATIFICATION

In ADDITION to the dispute in the senate over the
tsrnns Of the peace treaty there is = dispute over guess
tons Of parliamentary law relating to It. Certain reser-
vations are being attached to the resolution authorizing
fatificatton OF the treaty. Presently a vote will be taken
on the resolution. with these notifications. Supporters
OF the treaty substantially as proposed ere not, in favor
Of these notifications. The resolution Of ratification re-
quires the Affirmative votes of ttwro!thirds Of the senator's
TO make it effective. If SO senators vote against it, there
fore. it is defeated. Members. Of the administration
group have declared their intention to vote against the
resolution. and have expressed the belief that they have
votes enough to defeat it. Their purpose, as outlined.
~ TO defeat the resolution with the strong" reservations,
and then to propose a series Of 'mild' resolutions more
nearly meeting their views. These reservations. being
adopted, they intend to submit tho resolution with the
new reservations and sec wha. happens.
It is evident that II this group can command and
hold So. votes it can defeat the resolution which will
contain the reservations now being attached to it.. It
is equally evident that unless they can command 81
votes in final passage, even il they should be able to Sc
cure the adoption Of nSv reservations. they cannot force
the resolutiop~through in its new form. Under those
circumstances there would exist a deadlock, either side
being able to prevent the adoption of a resolution car
rs.ing reservations proposed by the other.
j But before that stage is reached there will be a clash
a procedure. Whlle the program as above out
lined has been indicated in statements made by admin
istratton leaders, 1t is commended that this program can
not be followed under the rules. Members of. the strong
reservation group declare that the action now being
taken is final. They maintain that when all the reser-
vations that the senate desires to attach shall have been
approved the vote taken on the resolution with those
reservations will dispose of the whole matter: that II
the resolution in that form is rejected the senate will
have refused definitely to ratify the treaty, and that it
will be impossible to- start the proceedings all over again
by proposing new reservations.
Vice President Marshall, in his capacity as presi-
dent OF the senate, has indicated that If it becomes nee
essary for him to rule on the subject he will rule in
favor of the plan Of considering new reservations. The
majority leaders have indicated that they will appeal
from such decision. and. il they can hold their forces
intact they can doubtless oyerrule the presiding omcer.
The whole situation. therefore, is decidedly muddled.

PURELY UNNECESSARY

The legality Of the action of Governor Frazier in
declaring martial law, and under the authority Of martial
law taking possession of coal mines owned by private
individuals, is pretty certain to be tested in the courts.
The owners Of the largest coal mines in the state, in order
to protect their rights. yielded possession Of their prop
erty only under. protest, and upon the threat OF force. 1t
is to be expected that having established their position
in this matter they will go into court, and ask fox> a de-
cision as to their legal rights.
= We can await with composure. such action as may
be taken with reference to this feature as in any event
no decision is likely to be made in time
TO affect coal production one way or the other. Re-
gardicss of the legal features of the case, however, there
stands out strongly the fact that the whole proceeding,
lezal. or illegal, was entirely unnecessary. There is not
the .slightest reason to believe that.in the absence Of i'm
by the governor there would have been any
strike by North Dakota coal miners. That fact needs to be
remembered. and the people. of the state need also to re-
member that every step taken by the governor was Of 4

Somehow 1t seemed to awful q place

weary with her hard exciting day that
she could stand up NO longer.
Some time in;fthc night she awoke
from an ugly dream in which She, was

Sylvester Schwarz, who was de-

from her, and her own cries for help
We're stt1ed in her throat as she strug-
gled on over the burrows. OF in, the
distance she heard a dim rumble of a
freight train, like a kindly voice. 10

again.
The %raucous voice Of Mrs. Schwarz
sounded in, sher5ear while it was yet
dark, and a vigorous shaking of her
locked door. brought her to her feet
frightened and half stupeied with
sleep.
There was no place for her to wash
in her room; nothing but the tin basin
on the bench by the pump below, and
the roAer9 towel on the kitchen door,
which she was expected, to use in COM
mon with the men who were splut
tering through their ablutions now.

DINNER CLUB MEETS
UnionIsm and Professionalism Before
Teachers Organization.

Three important measures came be-
fore the meeting of the Kansas Din
ner club, an organization composed of
women leaders in the teachers profess
sion. which held its annual banquet
last night at the Elks' club. The three
matters of especial interest were the
teachers retirement fund, organiza-
ton and professionalism.
The Kansas Dinner club has been
instrumental in bringing about move
ments for the welfare of the Kansas
teachers and its action on any such
plan bids for its success.
The retirement fund" discussed by
Miss Mabel Smith, was not agreed
upon at the last legislature but would
be approved at the next session, the
speaker said, if the teachers would
work for it.
The organization and professional
ism of teachers were topics of other
speakers, including Miss Theda Glide
meister. of Winona. Mimi. Miss Effie
Graham, Topeka, and Miss Ellen Ma
haffey, Kansas City.
Commenting on unionizing, Miss
ahaffey said: "Unionizing would be
suicidal for teachers"

bAkkEN GRAY HAIR
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre,
o. when il fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeIess. is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attrac-
tive use only this old-time reciph,
Nowadays we get this famous mix
tu-e improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
sore for a bottle of ''Wyeth's Sage and
sulphur Compound" which darkens
K" hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that. be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.-Adv.
