THE AUSTRIAN PEACE TREATY

The Austrian republic, whose rep
resentatives signed the peace treaty
on Thursday, is quite different en-
tity from the Austrian empire which
precipitated the war in 1914. The re-
INFANTS of the former empire are
what is known as German Austria,
including upper and lower Austria
and parts of Syria and Tyrol. Bohem-
ia, Moravia and a portion of Teschen
have been merged into the republic
Of Czecho- Slovakia. Most of Cali
cia and the remainder of Teschen
have been taken under control by
Poland, says the Fort Worth Record.
It is not probable that for several
years tsleast HheHpresefit Boundaries
of the republic of Austria will be
changed, since the treaty as recently
signed forbids the annexation Of
Austria by Germany.
The treaty further provides that
the indemnity to be paid by Austria
shall not be determined until May,
1921, but whatever this indemnity
amounts to, payments thereof will
continue for thirty years. The re-
public alone must pay whatever sum
is demanded by the supreme council
of the league of nations, no portion If
it being allotted either to Poland.
Czecho- Slovakia or Jugo-Slavia.
Austria is finding out that the way
of the transgressor is hard. 1t must
replace ton for ton, all ships lost by
the allies due to activities OF the
Austrian navy during the war, and
put all invaded areas into as good
physical condition as they were prior
to invasion.
All works of art and objects of his
torical value carried away by Aus
trian troops must also be delivered
to allied countries.
Her army must be reduced to 3d.
600 men, all volunteers. Her navy is
to be delivered to the allies, all ships
under construction being broken up,
and the salvaged parts not to be used
again except for industrial purposes.
Two-thirds of her former popula-
ton has gone under the domination
of the new republic and, tits an unde-
termined question whether Austria in
her present situation will ever be
able to fulfill the financial obliga-
tions which the treaty imposes upon
her.

IDEAL NEIGHBORS.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels, in
speech at Victoria Friday declared
that Canada and the United States
have set an example for world emula
ton through their neighborliness,
and the treaty which forbids fortifi-
cations between the two countries.
This condition, he said, "presages
the day in the full fruition of the
league of nations" when other coun-
tries would feel such security in in
ternational justice as to abolish their
powerful armies and to cease to
build navies.
Secretary Daniels has touched or
an interesting point. Few people
realize the full significance of it, be-
cause Canadians and citizens of the
United States are on such friendly
terms and are so much alike in every
way, that the average man doesn't
think of Canada as another country
The relations between the United
States and Canada, as Secretary
Daniels says, are an example to the
world. Few Europeans can conceive
of the situation. They do not even

FAyORING INTINERANTS.

Local theatres not only spend con-
siderable money each week III
wages, which are distributed turnout
the community, but they pay into the
city treasury good-sized sums for
licenses. They operate orderly, clean
places, presenting such entertainment
as the public demands, the year
round. If they violate an ordinance
they are hailed into court.
Contrast this with the way Pine
Bluff treats the intnerant carnival
company: We not only give the
carnival company permission to come
in and disturb the neighbors for
blocks around the place selected as
the scene of operations, but we say:
"Here, you don't have to pay any
license fee. We charge our own peo-
pie license, but will not collect any
thing for you. And, about your
gambling games: Just go ahead, and
run anything you want that's not
too raw. We will not let home people
do those things, but that's all right
you go ahead without fear of arrest"
So, we not only discriminate in
favor of the itinerant insofar as per-
hitting infraction of laws, but we
make cash contribution to the carni-
val
This situation will continue until
Pine Bluff public protests. The
Graphic thinks it is about time for
good people to take stand in the
open for right.

WHY, THIS SITUATION?

The local dealers in cigars, candy,
dolls, meat and other articles invests
money in stocks sufficient to meet
all demands of the people: they pay
rent upon the buildings they occupy;
taxes upon their stocks, and contri-
butte to upbuilding of schools, church.
es and the city generally. If one of
them were to resort to game of
chance as a selling scheme he would
be arrested, and probably sentenced
to pay fine. This would be right.
Because such games of chance are
prohibited by law.
But
Pine Bluff permits itinerant VEN
doris of these goods to come into the
city, violate the law by resorting to
games of chance to sell their goods at
from. 100 to 200 per cent more than
local dealers ask, and reap huge pro
fits thru the gambling games operat-
ed in open violation of state laws and
city ordinances.
When such fragrant violations Of
the gambling laws and ordinances are
permitted by the authorities, with the
public acquiesting, is any wonder
there is not the respect for law and
order that there should be, and thai
we must have?

A BOOMERANG.

In true soap-box style, Senator
johnson of California, has hurled at
President Wilson the "quitter"
charge.
Of all the charges that have made
against the president this is the most
futile. 1t also may prove a danger
Gus one for Mr.. johnson.
If Mr. johnson and his friends sue
coed in emasculating the league, Mr..
Wilson, it is confidently believed, will
make third term race on "league
of nations" platform. If Mr.. Wilson
consents to make the third term
race, under these circumstances, it
will be bad for Mr.. Johnson's presi.
Dental aspirations and for the as
pirations of any other member of his
party.

understand it when they visit the
United States or Canada. Accustom-
ed to intense rivalries extending over
hundreds of years, it is difficult for
the average European to comprehend
how two people can live side by side
in peace and security with nothing be-
tween them but mutual respect.
There may come a day when the
necessity for even an imaginary boun-
Diary line between the United States
and Canada will not be. In the opin-
ion of most Americans that is for
Canada to say. AS former President
Taft once said, "The United States
does not seek to annex Canada, but
if Canadians desire to become a part
of the United States, the United
States will welcome them with open
arms"

Smuggling Through
The Air Charged

Buffalo, Sept. lathe wreck on
the outskirts of this city of an air
plane believed to have come from
Canada resulted in the first charge OF
smuggling through the air IN this
federal district.
The two members of the airplane
crew were not seriously hurt when
the machine crashed and left the
scene in an automobile soon after the
accident. A day later a deputy
sheriff was placed on guard over the
wreck to restrain souvenir hunters.
The United States customs depart
ment subsequently received Informal
ton that the machine was en- route
from Toronto to Gloucester, Mass.
With no record of duty having been
paid, libel proceedings were begun.
Five days after the accident no one
had appeared to claim the airplanc
and it was placed in government
warehouse.

Mr.. Wilson is the biggest danger
confronting the republican party in
1920 if the republican party knows it.
They way to eliminate Wilson in 1920
is for the republicans to give him
what he wants in the ieague fight.
Unless they do, there1l be trouble
ahead. Wilson, unless our judgment
of hi mis- entirely wrong, will never
quit in his fight for ratification of
the league, either during his present
term or after his present term is end
ed.

There has also come into his life, a
knowledge of the mechanical arts of
which the presence Of the hammer and

theosis, the middle and largest panel
shows what has been done through con-
stant application and sacrifice. Three
heroic figures Of beautiful Negro wom-
