Mir. Shoot and the A. P.


 The ignorance, the narrowness of view of the operations of the Associated Press is much widely extended than we had supposed A few days ago we were moved to observations this sub ject by the criticism editor of small weekly democratic newspaper of this state who charged that the Associated Press controlled by the republ can party.
 The charge was by means It has generally come from the same source. some demo- cratic weekly editor of small dimensions. A similar charge used to be made by the populists, only then the A. P controlled by the corporations. None of the critics seemed to grasp the possibility that the A. P might be controlled by itself itself being the several thousand republican, democratic and in- dependent newspapers which compose it. These members elect directorate consisting or republi- cans democrats and independents. There is also elected a general manager who has only policy, that of collecting all the world and serving the earliest possible moment to his employers
 But now comes Senator Reed Shoot. republi- can a man supposed of at least ordinary intelli gence and somewhat gifted with the opwers of ob- servaton As a public of many experi- ence, it might have been supposed that he was at least casually familiar with the machinery of news agencies he speaks of the controlled Associated Press" In the view of Mir Shoot it is controlled in the of the League of Nations, and is biased in favor President Wilson. democrat while our small narrow democratic editorial ignoramuses believe it is biased in favor of the republican party. This trarety opinion alone ought be taken clean bill of health for the Associated Press

So democratic views frequently reflected than republican views, though the latter aired by the A. cor respondents The democratic view with respect to the League of Nations is frequently set out in the A.

TIME soFTENs MANY A CRIME

The attorney general of France has recommended that Joseph Caillaux, erstwhile premier of the Re- public, brought trial This is surprising, if not disturbing. We have not heard much of Cailaux for a year or more. Wasn't enough accomplished when Duval and Bolo Pasha lined up against wall and shot? Surely when the tools of traitor are punished the ends of justice would seem to be served The usual procedure is to forget if not for give to the chief.
 Caaux apparently did not do anything except endeavor to bring defeat to France. He probably thought anything inflicted upon his country after the treatment it had accorded him was justified If man who has grievance is not to have his revenge what is the world coming to in the end2
 Despite the recommendation of the attorney gen. eral it is doubtful that CaIaux is brought to trial if arraigned is prosecuted vigorously Paris hotbed of treason for the first two of the Too many held in high respect were willing to come terms with the Germans to let all the facts be made known at this late day. Clenenceau knows. But for him the might have terminated differently Powerful he is it is doubtful If he has the strength bare the whole infamy today. There are influences that will aid Caaux not for love of Caillaux but for their own protection Therein lies the long delay prosecuting the former premier.

 From the look of the sky knew the sea wouldn't be smooth that day. Soon the storm broke and gave me ample time to call up Mary Thomas.
 Our scheme was to have her come out in the training tug, at the first clear dawn. I would be waiting on the pier. They could pick me up easily because freight boats and small passenger chaft called at all hours ar the Lorimer dock. No one would pas any attention to one boat more or less,
 When I was aboard, we would steam out to the peak of the triangle which was mapped on my brain. Not until then would I disclose to Mary the place in the U-boat where the gems were hidden.
 Her trainer would have to go down with her for she never could uns,:rewi the cap of the shell without help. Most earnestly did I wish that we might have waited for Jim and Tommy. But felt sure we could manage alone. The crew of the tug would never dare modest us, or rob us, for were we not protected by the powerful name of Lor- inner?

1.-THE DEVILS BELIEvE-AnD TREMBLE'
By The Rev. Charles Sickle

The story of Christ before Piate may be matched by the story Paul before Felix. Both Christ and Paul were prisoners, but in each the man who sat on the judgment pronounced upon himself-the prisoners were freer than the judges because their hearts pure.
 Both Pilate and Felix "governors'-chief rulers in their provinces with all the power of the Roman government back of them-but before their prisoners they trembled They were keen enough to see that their prisoners innocent and that their cause was just
 But Pilate shifted the responsibility upon the mob that finally crucified and Felix waited for a brbe and being offered. he finally turned his prisoners over to his enemies.
 Both the governors knew enough about law to understand that accusers of these prisoners had no case-and in neither instance did the prisoners depend upon sentiment emotion to prove their innoeence-but as is the case with most men today, what they needed was not evidence but more courage.
 We've told that "the devils belieye-and trembe," but that doesn't save them. The trembling of Felix as Paul reasoned of righteousness and judgment to come. and his pous plea for more time apparently did not result in his salvation.
 And Pilate turning Jesus over to the mob meant simply that he himself chose Barabbas. the robber nobody could cruelty Christ that day but Pilate
 Both Piate and Felix wanted the friendship of the world rather than the consciousness of having done justice to one man. They got it-for very brief perod-but today they both despised by the world and their prisoners honored by all 
 They were both better than the mob that wanted to gets their prisoners but their responsibility greater than the mob's because they had greater power and. therefore, greater opportunity.
 We will never be judged because of another mans sins or shortcomings we'll have all do to square our accounts.

siIversand Lake. Tue.

Silversand Lake, Tuesday. Dearest Joan:
 I was dreaming today in a shady arbor beside the lake, of what I'd like my future to be. Do you do it some Bentsville? You write so little of your heart affairs, Joanie-don't you have any? 1 am eaten up with thoughts of them. Are girls, then, so different? Or is it only that I babble everything and you don't

Some old neighborhood. that used to be fashionable but which has been passed by and half forgotten, with low, mellow brick houses of the sort one sees around Washington Square. Four or five rooms, but at least two of them square and sunny and with fireplace.
 There is warm yellow brown paper on the walls and orange and brown soft silk at the windows. A deep, rus set t-oovered davenport before the fire place. A generous table with maga- zines and books and a candy jar and tobacco jar and a lamp with an orange shade. Plain rugs, a few good pictures, bookshelves built-in, and Il couple of fat easy chairs. That is the living room.
 Then a dining room, very sunny and papered in old blue. Blue -flowered cretonne at the wide windows. A blue rug. A copper bowl with flowers on the plain wood table. A window-boX full of wildly-gay geraniums.

The Time of inc Treaty

According. to the dispatches of yesterday peace treaty will be before the senate this week. How soon it will be disposed of is another matter An eminent authority recently said confidence that will still be under discussion next winter and well along into the spring though he did not say who would be responsible for such prolonged deiberation.

the nterstces between other legislation no great harm will be done
 It seems to have been determined by clear jority in the senate that the covenant must be amended. But there is not yet agreement within the majority the extent of the tinkering that will be required to put the document shape Here is chance for the president expedite matters by accepting the least disturbing of the reservations, though acceptance may involve some humiliation. word from the president would bring the democratic senators who have no views of their own into line and these modest necessary reservations would be adopted.
 It is time for the dropping of all bunk and ideal ism. Fine language descriptive of beautiful dreams is getting nowhere For instance the fear of the president that heart world is likely be broken impressive but likely to provoke an irreverent inquiry the precise location of the heart of the world
 For instance would the heart of China be broken if the senate should refuse to confirm the outrage of Shantung? The heart of Japan might be wrung. The hearts of Great Britain and fluttering in apprehension of breaking. We hardly think that the Jugo-Slavian heart the Russian heart would be greatly disturbed; certainly the heart of the Netherlands would not be broken. So where is this heart of the world? The hearts of all the pow erful nations already insured against break ing, by secret treaties of which the president knew nothing. Those treaties having been forced into the peace treaty are likely to hold during all the time the latter may be pending.
 We would all, of course like the matter disposed of as quickly as possible and it may be so disposed of by word from the president signfying his recognition of an ultimate necessity
