ON SELLING OUT

Senator Borah of course is
guilty of misrepresentation when
he says that the proposed agree
ment by the United States and
Great Britain to protect France
from Germanaggression is revi-
val of the old balance-of-power
system. In fact, it was entered
into for the purpose of enforcing
the treaty of peace pending the
organization and development of
League of Nations" says the
New York World.
Continuing, the World says;
when Mr.. Borah accuses Presi-
dent Wilson of selling out the
United States In order to get the
League of Nations, he has a dis
tinguished precedent for his vi
tuperation. The treaty negotia-
ted with Great Britain by John
Jay in 1894 was assailed in this
country very much as the Ver-
sailles covenant has been. Jay
was denounced as a traitor.
Meetings in his support were
mobbed. George Washington,
then President. was subjected to
so much abuse that in a private
letter he wrote that he had been
charged with everything from
tyranny and treason to pocket
picking.
Jays treaty was not perfect
but it introduced a novelty in
international relations, which
was that war should not extin-
guish private debts or invalidate
contracts as between citizens of
enemy counties. When the war
Of 1912 opened, this provision,
violently opposed when we were
in debt, was worth millions of
dollars to Americans then credi-
tors of Great Britain. Jay lived
down the taunt that he had sold
out, but Washington's last years
were embittered by the calumny
which in his day no one had the
decency to retract. I"

JAPANESE WIVES IN CALIFORNIA

BY the latest Federal census
the women of California number
/, ,054,571. The toIal Japanese
population amounted to Al, 956.
In view of these figures, Sena-
tor Phelan's alarming discovery
that the fecundity of Japanese
women in California is crowding
the white people off the land,
subverting American institu-
tions and foreshadowing the
end of our Western civilization
acq lires a flavor of exaggeration,
to say the least of it. Reasoning
from the same premises, it must
be that the senator's sensational
claim of 200 per cent increase
the Japanese birth-rate and 8
per cent decrease in that of the
whites must be false or relatively
misleading.
When Japanese immigration
was stopped by agreement, ex-
ceptions were made in behalf of
the wives of laborers already
here, II il the fashion now in
California to question the stand
ing of these wives, " always in
quotation marks, but the fact
that they are rearing families
ought to count for something in
their favor. 1t is to be said
Furthermore in their defense that
they and their husbands and their
progeny are industrious and
thrifty, and that so far as is
known, they have organized no
societies intent upon overthrow
ing the Government of the
United States.

Loss Of Appetite

AS general rule there is nothing
serious about a loss of appetite, and II
you skip meal or only eat two meals
a day for few days, you will soon
have relish for your meals when meal
time comes. Bear in mind that at least
five hours should always elapse between
meals so as to give the food ample time
to digest and the stomach period of
rest before a second meal is ta6en.
Then if you eat no more than you crave
and take a reasonable amount of out
door exercise every day you will not
need to worry about your appetite.
When the loss of appetite is caused by
constipation as is often the case, that
should be corrected at once. A dose of
Chamberlain Tablets will 90 it. 21-4t

WHERE DOES HAYS "GET ON?"

From men in the highest places
in the republican party - or that
wing of it which is fighting the
League of Nations-we have had
reiterations of the assurance that
they do not regard the League
as a partisan question. " 1t
would be pleasant to be able to
anticipate from these senators
and leaders actions in keeping
with their words. But their
deeds belle their lips.
How is it that Chairman Will
H. Hays. of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, appears in
Washington-with or without in
vitation-to frame" a program
of senatorial action with respect
to the League? Mr.. Hays holds
no commission from the people
to represent them in the consid.
Grafton of the League. He is
not a senator. He is not q public
official of any sort. There is but
one capacity in which he can
counsel and director senators of
his party; that is, as chairman
of the Republican National Com
mittee.
But it has not vet come to pass
that the chairman of a political
committee is recognized as the
source of authority or guidance
in the affairs of the senate, and
certainly not in matters of such
moment as the ratification of a
treaty and its concomitant-the
League of Nations.
The fact is that Mr.. Hays is
invading the prerogative of the
Senate, and that a majority of
republican senators are permit
ting him to do so. They have
been unable o.agree as to what
they should do as senators. as
sworn, responsible officials of
the peoples congress. They are
now seeking advice as to what
they, should do as republicans.
They have failed to represent
the people; they are seemingly
about to undertake to serve only
a party.
Will the people of this country
tolerate such interference by an
unofficial outsider, even republi.
can senators meekly consent to it p

There are about /, 900 wound

heard enough-from the wounded
soldiers-to convince me that
any man in public life who takes
a stand against the proposed
League of Nations will most as
suredly be retired to private life.
' All the wounded men
with whom talked feel that the
President is trying to do some
thing for humanity. They know
what war really is, and are anx-
ious for universal peace. =
Talk to the soldiers, more espec-
tally those who have been wound
ed or gassed, and they will tell
you, as they told me: We have
had all the war we want. We
want peace. And that is what
President Wilson crossed the sea
for, to bring about peace-inter-

If the republicans in the House
of Representatives are practicing
economy when they cut millions
from appropriations for the Army
and the Navy, what are republi-
cans in the Senate doing when
they help democrats to restore
these millions? Perhaps the an
swer is that republican represen-
tatives are doing what their party
wants, while the republicans in
the Senate are grudgingly doing
what the people demand.

General PerShing Differs With

The rockribbed. ineradicable prejudice
against boxing that is found in many
communities, notably in rural districts.
and which is based on msnformation
and intolerance, was voiced by Gov.
Harrington of Maryland in his an
nouncement declining to permit the stag
ing of the Willard Dempsey contest in
that State. Declaring that the contest
would be nothing more than a prize
fight" the Governor added:
1T is possible that the sentiment of
the people of this country may have
changed. but am convinced that there
Is wholesale disapproval of the knock
out fights in the army and elsewhere"
Hardly had GOV. Harrington delivered
himself OF that opinion when there came
from Paris the words of Gen. Pershing
in a speech delivered during the boxing
championships OF the American Expe-
dictionary Forces in France.
"Never before" said the General,
-have / witnessed sports In which the
spirit OF fairness and friendliness was
SO prominent feel proud OF the boys

feel proud of those sitting in this arena
who witnessed these exciting and evenly
