Dulin took Bill Henson to Number

Henson owns and operates a coal
and ice wagon, And In Duiin's opin-
ion the horses that pull It around
could be better.
Henson brought the animals down
to the court for the Judge to see.
Judge McMahon went outside and
looked the horses over. He trotted
them for short distance. but failed
TO see anything wrong.
They looked all right, so far as
the court could see. They were not
so decrepit or starved as Duiin said
they were.
Policeman Moore backed up what
Duiin said. but 1t didn't help matters
any.

The Way

Secretary Root has fairly and frankly
disposed of the argument that the cove
nant of the league of nations cannot be
modified without interfering with the
ratification Of the treaty. He empha-
sizes the need of notifications which
will clarity obscure passages in the
covenant and better protect the inter-
ests Of the United States. He offers
reservation clauses, attaining these OBJ
jects, which may be attached to the
treaty without invalidatng it, since they
will stand as accepted unless other sig
natories protest against them There is
little probability Of any other sigma
tory making objection, if such objec-
tion would operate to keep the United
States out of the league.
Ratification with reservations is a
we'll established procedure. 1t is feasible.
1t involves no serious delay. And it will
produce a better and more generally
acceptable treaty.

Short, Snappy Corruptions

To what extent are newspaper headlines

often used, because it is little word, when
1t doesn't accurately convey the degree of
size. Short, snappy words, in fact, are

milar to peoples minds that they pass into
speech and writing when even the sub

the French government is considering
an Air Ministry, and in the mean time
has made appropriations of $220,000,000
for aviation in 1919-'20.
The French are led by even stronger
reasons than those which persuaded the
English. Realizing that civil aviation
must ever be closely allied with military,
they point out that Germany is free to
develop civil aeronautics, the only limi-
tation, under the terms of the treaty Of
peace, being that construction shall not
begin until six months after the pact
has been signed
This brings home to Americans fuller
realization Of the inadequacy of existing
legislation. Under emergency war laws
such air service as we possess must dis
solve six months after the peace treaty
is signed.

By Haywood Broun

IN SOME respects the literature of Eng
4 land and America is more romantic than
that of any other country. The herones
who die or go insane because of unrequited
love are mostly Anglo Saxon. John Gals
worthy, who seems to have little Of the ro-
manifest about him, has pictured heartbrcak
as pognantly as any writer whom can
remember in "Saints Progress" We think
that he is mirroring life accurately in so
doing, but at the same time feel that
both in fiction and out make too much of
broken hearts. There is u tendency to re-
gard them as admirable organs rather than
crippled ones. Grief is set down as one of
the virtues. We wonder if it belongs there
There is, of cot.Ysc, an English tradition,
nobly upheld throughout the war, that no.
body has q right to force his grief on any
body else. That is certainly step in the
right direction, but has he even right to
treasure it in his heart? Just why do we
concede a man or woman the privilege of
going down under sorrow?
But whether our attitude is right or wrong
it puts certain limitation upon the world
scope of our literature. There are peoples
who simply cannot understand what we are
talking about. A Japanese once asked us.
ais it really true all this that read in YOUR
novels about love and all that. Do you peo
pie actually feel 1t the way the people in
the novels do? Forever and forever? You
understand"
We replied that probably the novelists
were right about it in most cases. but ha
seemed unconvinced and we remembered
