drovers, freighters and trappers. For
quite a while Jim was unpopular with
the white population of that general

was too "highfalutin" with his grand
business IDEAS" But gradually that
attitude wore itself out,
Jim Thackery didn't know much
about the science Sof merchandising
when he opened his log hut to the
Indian trade. but he had pretty firm
grasp on certain fundamental business
principles. He calls them his Ten

Second. Thou shalt not be content
to go about thy business looking like
a bum, but thou shouldst know that
thy personal appearance is better than

Third. Thou shalt not try to make
excuses, nor shalt thou say to those
who chide thee. II didn't think"
Fourth. Thou shalt not wait to be
told what thou shalt do, nor in what
manner thou shalt do it. for thus may
thy days be long in the Job which
fortune hath given thee.
Fifth. Thou shalt not fail to MAIN

Russia and the Peace Table

CONSIDERABLE confusion seems to have
~ been created among the conferees in
Paris as a result Of the manner in which
the proposal to admit the Soviet government
in Russia, under certain conditions, to the
peace conference in Paris was made public
First publication appears to have been made
in the Russian press, after which Foreign
Minister Pichon, Of France, announced that
such a proposal had, indeed, been suggested
by Great Britain to the allied governments
and the United States, but that France was
unalterably opposed to the idea. Members
of the American peace delegation were quoted
by American correspondents at Paris as hay-
ing denied knowledge Of such proposal, and
on the heels of this, Acting Secretary Of
State Polk at Washington issued a statement
admitting that the State Department had been
approached on the subject by the British
charge January 3, and had mistakenly as
sumed that the American peace delegation
likewise had received It,
The proposal as it emanated from the Brit
ish might have been regarded in the light
OF "feeler." 1t suggested joint invita-
ton by the allies and the United States to
all factions in Russia to cease hostilities dur
ing the period of'the peace negotiations, and
proposed that under such conditions any or
all Of these factions might send representa-
tives to Paris to discuss with the great powers
the basis of permanent settlement. Tho
American correspondents at Paris now in
form us that the disposition Of the Amer
lean delegation is to support the attitude Of
the French government in the matter
Whether this is actually the case or not it is
difficult to say, in the absence of authori-
tative statement by the President. One is
forced by the very chaos OF the Russian sit
uation. however, to wonder just what good
could be accomplished by such a plan. Ger
tainly, with nothing to show ut present the
existence OF anything like responsible gov
eminent in Russia, it is difficult to see how
any engagements entered into at Paris with
Russian representatives would in any sense
be binding on that country.
Nevertheless, there is this to be said in
favor Of the British proposition: that the
Russian situation is necessarily one Of the
important problems of the peace conference
and II there is any possible way of getting
the various factions to agree with the allied
powers upon a plan of early settlement it
might be worth the trial 1t will be in
teresting to hear authoritatively concerning
the attitude Of the President toward the pro-
posal
