FEAR TO FACE A VOTE.

/ Senator Hoke Smith, OF Georg1a, VINO de-
mands thoroughgoing reservations to the
league, denounces as utterly indefensible and
Isupremely ridiculous the plan of Senator Hitch
lcock, the administration spokesman IN the sem
ate to vote against the ratification of the treaty
rather than accept it with reservations. The
reservation making the United States the sole
Judge of its obligations in case of impending
withdrawal from the league ought certainly to
go through, the Georgia senator declared, and
his own particular object is to make sure that
congress shall assume no moral obligation what
ever to enter into war at the bidding of the
league
Asked for his views as to the propriety of the
presidents refusal to accept the treaty with
reservations, Senator Smith S reply was said to
have been notably emphatic and precisely to
the point. His words were not quotable. They
were not for publication as we are told; but his
position was that it is primarily the business OF
the senate not the president, to say what sort
of treaty the United States should make.
Meanwhile the Hitchcock group of senator's
who talk of defeating the treaty if it is too
American to please the president are plainly
worried. They do not know what they can do,
what they dare do or what they would find it
expedient to attempt. Senator Smith says
there is only handful of them anyway and in
Inmates that it is of particular importance
what they do. They are without word as to
when President Wilson will again be able to
give his attention to the treaty situation, and
they are afraid to bind themselves to vote at any
particular time before it may be possible for
them to obtain instructions from the chief ex-
ecutive. This was shown by the incident of last
Friday when they were thrown into panic by
being suddenly challenged to a final vote on
the treaty on November twelfth They were
caught wholly off their guard, and Senator
Hitchcock was left no alternative but to object
to fixing any definite time for voting, although
he has been feverishly urging haste for months.

no CURE NATIONAL INDIGESTION.

Irving Cobb says that the United States Is
suffering from an acute attack OF indigestion
This is not badly put, for it IS certain that
many of our troubles are coming from unas-
simulated elements. We have taken into our
midst mass of people from foreign lands, and
we have done this with too little discrimination.
Many of them have refused assimilation, with
purpose to return whence they came; others ann
at assmilating US.
The lot of the alien has not been as happy as
that of the native or naturalized worker; 1t has
not been as happy as it should have BEEN Yet
there seem no tenable ground for the argument
advanced that we have despoiled Europe OF
happy peasants and turned them into exploited
proletarians The answer to this argument IS
that the opportunity for larger earnings and
for better circumstances was open when the war
came, and long before that. There is no ques-
ton that it has been seized by our wage work
ers. both native and foreign.
Mr.. Cobb s little epigram will stand attention
But has he or anyone else suggestion to make
as to a remedy? The medicament is easy to
find 1t is common sense. But how to wrap
this mental pepsin up in a capsule so our own
people will swallow it, Here is the pulling
problem

Alley Miller Retires

Davenport Democrat: What's this
story that comes from Washington,
Iowa, that Alex Miller has sold the
newspaper that he has made famous
for Millerisms and for rock-rooted
democracy?
Does it mean that Alex is going
to let that old typewriter gather tust,
and that we are to have no more OF
his characteristic contributions to
the joy of living?
If it does. it's distinct loss to
the state. We don't care what he
got for the old paper-f it was
enough to keep him in affluence until
he was white-bearded old cente-
narian-he oughtn't to have taken 1t.
Like strike, the public is the
third party at interest when Alex
sells his paper-and he ought to
have consulted us before he signed
up.
Iowa demurs, and waits with
anxiety for further details, hoping
the typewriter is not to lay off, even
If Alex shakes some of his business
responsibilities.

HE WAS A TEXAS GENTLEMAN.

Il A New York City newspaper is crltlcal-un-
duly so as many will think-of a visitor from
Texas who having bought ticket to Broad
way theater very properly checked his pistol
and his pocket flask But where is the least i'm
propriety in this? What else would a visitor
Of gentlemanly instincts naturally do7 He re-
garded himself as guest of the management
and as among friends of whom he need have no
fear He was breaking bread with them so to
speak; partaking of their salt. Himself incap-
able of taking advantage of their trustfulness
and crediting them with sentiments as noble
and undesigning as his own, he showed his con-
f1dence and his upright intentions by checking
his gun
As for his flagon, what man Of nice nature
would wish to drink selfishly by himself in a
gathering distressed by thirst and he surround
ed by men whose necessities might well be even
greater than his own? Sir Philip Sidney. mir
ror Of knighthood and one of the truest gentle
men that ever lived, passed the cup from him
when one man needed it more The world ba.
never forgotten the innate courtesy Of that act
end kindly, well-bred people will understand
the feeling which prompted this cultivated
Texan to deny himself refreshment in which
others could not share.
Far from holding him up for reprobation

Those neood. Old Days.

Wayerly Independent Republican:
Talking about poultry for profit,
what has become of the trees near
the farm buildings in Iowa that were
loaded with chickens and turkeys
soon after shutdown, twenty-seven or
forty-seven years ago? That kind of
trees is almost as scarce as the
straw barns of the pioneers. The
good old times of burning straw
piles, the straw barns and the poul-
try bearing trees have all gone with
the cradle with which we used to
cut the wheat, the scythe with which
we cut the wild grass for hay, and
with the slow but sure OK team.
There are still some men living in
the county who practiced those
things and used those tools, but we
don't know OF any who are signing
for the return of those good old
days.

therefore it is difficult to see why he should not
be commended for the consideration and nice
sense of what was fitting that he showed. We
may assume that as .'scion' of some old pa
trician family in the south he regarded his
name and birth as imposing code OF social de-
corum on him which a man who was less well
born might not have felt it incumbent on him
to observe That he was new to New y rk City
ways was evident, even if we had not been told
what state he came from, or he would hardly
have left his flask in stranger hands with the
expectation of getting it back with anything
more material than haunting aroma inside.

A REALLY BIG MAN.

In interesting "reminiscences Of Colonel
Roosevelt, Lawrence Abbott, whose relations
with him were close, brings out the fact that he
never decided important matters while he was
president without seeking counsel wherever he
could find it and accepting from any source
suggestions which impressed him as wise.
Such open mindedness to advice is one of the
highest qualities ruler can possess 1t was an
outstanding characteristic of the great Lincoln
who always sought to follow. not his own way
but the best way He did not even pray that
God should be upon his side, but that he might
be found upon the side of God. Humility, will
ingness to be guided taught and led to do the
right is a characteristic of the truly great.
Stubbornness self-suficiency, intolerance OF
suggestion mark lesser type OF man. The
smaller man, jealous of his dignity, is inhospit-
able to advice, will not be influenced wants all
the honor, all the credit for anything done, and
would often rather be wrong himself than right
with other men. But the really big man is
above all such pettiness, and men of that stamp
Lincoln and Roosevelt were.

Hill park yesterday afternoon by a
the w. o. w. kept the Olsenites guess
ing, while his team mates were piling
up a nice score. Herschkovitz was
rather wild and this coupled with
some glaring errors behind him wa
mainly responsible for his defeat.
Myers pitched the first inning for
the Y. NJ. c. A. and gave up one hit
and one run. The Y. NJ. G. A. got
after them in the second and made two
runs entirely on errors. This ended
their scoring until the sixth when
base on balls issued to Ray and Bjor-
'ensen's double Melted them one more
run. Klein made a pretty catch of
'Olsen's long hit in this inning, which
would have gone for at least a triple.
: Other features of the game were the
one of them triple, out of four times
to the pan. and two fast double plays,
Bell to Creary and Herschkovitz to
Creary to Robinson.
Umpire L. o. Swain made himself
strong with the fans by refusing to
be a party to arguments on the field.
Having made his decisions he refused
to discuss them, ordering the players,
in the only argument that came up, to

they are going to get.
