successful dance held here this sea-
son. A large crowd was in attend

orchestra. There were about thirty
baskets sold to the highest bidders.
Between $35 and $40 were cleared.
Messrs, Lowell Butt and Farley Lind
say were the chief bidders of the
evening. From all indications they
would stake their all for the plea
sure Of eating with the maids Of their
choice. Two round bucks is the
price Lowell paid for his supper and
girl to eat with. Some OF the
other sports were running him a
race of opposition. ,#,,l

LIBRARY NOTES
Writers English and U. s

Writers English and U. s.
Go to college and study English
and you will come out with an idea
that "she'' is written, if not Spoke
best by the inhabitants of the
British Isles. Now that may be true
as to masters, but who wants to talk
like book or write like SHAKESPEARE
or the st. James Version?
In literature we Americans lack
confidence. Nobody has yet been
bold enough to get up on the roof
and say out loud that there are as
good American models of literary
style as anybody would care to read
or emulate.
AS a matter of fact, since English
literature has been so necessarily
dinned upon our ears as all that can
be highly correct, when folks fail
to see the light therein they quit
reading literature and patronize the
magazines. That may be one reason
why the whole world is about fifty
years behind the United States when
it comes to quality and quantity in
magazine making. We have nation
ally taken to magazines and bui1t
them up, and what we go in for US
ually beats the world. This sounds
braggadocio, but what's the differ
ence?
Robert Louis Stevenson is the
only British writer that we must
admit to be on the upgrade of pop
ularity in America, and he is really
new note, and is being conscient.
iously copied after by American
writer's. Dickens is on the decline,
along with all the other home-spun
yarn-swabbers whose books take two
or three years to read and life
time to digest, such as Thackeray,
George Eliot and George Meredith.
Now they are trying to stuff us
with Thomas Hardy and Arnold Ben
nett, whose finely distilled multi
plicity is sorrow and cross to
any up-and-doing, self-respecting
reader of books.
Without going into study of the
literary fields, and all that, we can
mention a few American authors
worth reading. CA person should
always read by authors, rather than
by titles; it is much more fun.) You
can't go far wrong in reading any
thing they have written, and you
can find in their works some Of the
most charming material put out by

Of Janice Meredith, a tale of those
wonderful early days in American
history. Donald G. Mitchells Hugh
Wynne takes US back to the revolu-

close with sigh at having to come

This is only to mention a few.

withdrawing the Peace Treaty

RESIDENT WILSON'S reiterated declara-
ton that he is indisposed to compromise
with the amenders or the reservationists
upon the peace treaty. coupled with the de-
lection on the part OF group of Democrats
in favor OF very definite reservations, point
with some measure OF probability to dead
lock between the President and the Senate.
And various limitations have been voiced to
the effect that Mr.. Wilson Is prepared to
withdraw the treaty from consideration by
the Senate il any reservation is made which
denatures that document.
That the President has legal right to
take such a course. II he chooses to do so,
seems to be unquestioned. There are many
presidents for such action, although it is not
recorded that any chief executive took it
upon himself to withdraw vital pact as
treaty of peace. Be that as 1t may. Presi-
dent Wilson, as the treaty-making official OF
the government, may recall the document he
has presented In this instance, and may do
it at any time he DESIRES either before it is
voted on, after it has been amended even
after 1t has been ratified.
This being granted, as it is even by his
opponents, the question Of the advisability
Of taking radical course and Of assum-
ing the consequences, which are certain, is
one OF momentous importance. Only the
most desperate necessity could induce Mr..
Wilson to move in that direction. In fact,
only the certainty in his mind that the treaty
would be, or had been, butchered, its mean
iug perverted and its vital character de-
stroyed, should or could induce him TO de-
mand that the treaty be abandoned by the
Senate.
Once withdrawn, it would be difficult to
redraft and resubmit it to the Senate for
consideration 1t might, of course, be re-
committed to the peace conference for such
changes as would make 1t acceptable to two
thirds Of the Senate, but the result of such
recommttal would be doubtful at best. II
the treaty failed there. the only course left
for this government to take would be the
many and another with Austria
1t is suggested that the President, finding
himself defeated and his treaty mutiated be-
yond recognition, might invite the Senate to
nominate group OF peace commissioners.
who would replace those whom he named,
but this seems to be the least likely step
for him to take. He is not given to that
sort OF surrender. He is not the sort of man
who throws up his hands in that submissive
fashion
One other move might be made, and in
fact. often has been suggested. Congress
might, OF its own accord, pass joint reso-
luton, declaring that state OF peace exists
between the United States and the central
powers. But this would settle nothing at
all except to substitute technical peace for
technical war. No issue between the gov
ernments involved would be met No terms
would be imposed on Germany No e1ac-
tons would, or perhaps could. be enforced
against the enemy. Although the withdraw wal
OF the treaty is one of the possibilities Of the
situation, it is SO remote possibility as to
be difficult of anticipation.

More About Glass Houses

IT HERE is In the House OF Representa-
tives gentleman by the name OF
Blanton. who has the honor and no doubt
the pride to represent congressional dis
trict in the great empire State of Texas
This gentleman, born and bred a Democrat
reared in that school and elected to Con-
gress as such, rates himself as a member OF
The minority party, also with pride 1t may
be assumed. The other day, however, the
Texas Democrat brought upon the floor OF
the House series OF interesting resolutions
all OF them designed to embarrass. and if
possible to compromise the Democratic ad-
ministration. Lacking support in his own
party. he eagerly turned to the majority and
gratefully received all the votes he required
from the camp OF the enemy; to put his
legislative Investigation program across.
Among the resolutions which Mr. Blanton
ofered and caused to he adopted was one
providing for legislative inquiry into Off
cial nepotism. 1t demands to know who
and how many officials Of the government
there are having relatives in the public SER
vice. 1t demands to know how many gov
eminent clerks-the lowest paid skilled
labor in the country--are related to each
other by blood or by marriage. It demands
TO know to what extent favoritism is prac-
tced in the government by reason OF kim
ship or other relationships of family
nature 80
All this sounds pure and yirtuous. It
leads one, unacquainted with Washington az
fairs, to assume that the public service is
reeking with the things intimated in this
resolution 1t might even be assumed that
the President has planted all his relatives
and all his wifes relatives Ia some depart-
ment OF the government. 1t smacks of bad
business and gives all OF US a moment OF
resentment against any condition that is an
proAmately as outrageous as the Blanton
resolution suggests One feels like grasp
ing this fearless Congressmau's hand with a
word OF praise for his Drawing the unworthy
powers that be.
But It Is not as It seems. The resolution
may be inherently good but it comes to light
that it proceeds from a totally unworthy
source. In the course OF the debate which
took place upon the measure, certain OF
Mr.. Blanton's associates, knowing him to be
the most blatant OF demagogues and the
most irresponsible OF charlatans, drew the
record on him, showing that there we're
at that moment three members of his own
family on the pay roll OF the government
not including himself. And so another idol
[ crumbles to dust. Another incipient hero
| turns TO mud.
