AN ELEVENTH-HOUR "WHATISITp"

Perhaps writer in all America has done
effect the present the Paris treat
and League OF Nations in the United States than
Frank H. simonds.-and seeing the results of
miarstic ribaldry. he seems to be regarding it OF
rather doubtful glory
Simonds formerly writer topics for
The News-Times. but that during the war when
of military guesser.
His process OF reasoning which ran 'ff this
happens, that may happen" and IF this don't
happen that may not" made Of him rather expert
guesser. and won for him something Of a reputation
and then the ended and the expert" seem
ed to become fearful lest the consummation of
peace might put his job.
Turning "copperhead" intent. very apparently
upon doing all that he could to prevent the United
States from keeping faith with itself rest of
the world he changed syndcates, after the
armistice. and went to France where he was the
inveterate opponent Of the League of Nations
particularly as Prest Wilson favored having it,
and then OF the peace treaty, picturng everything
strong strong. and all things weak as too
weak; nothing It having been done to suit
this grand egotstcal apostle of IF this happens that
may happen" and If this don't happen that may
not"
He ALTERED afraid that the world of the
future might remain at p eace. that as William Al
len W mite says Tor lnSlan ne used 70 out
typewriter and chew up handful lead-p pencils
twice a day. He grabbed onto every little thing
whether from Lloyd George. Clemenceau or Orlan-
do and by process of ex aggeratng mole-hiIs into
mountains. sent a two over to his syndicate
appriso the United States of how everything pro
foreign grand and lovely while every American
move over there was vile.
Now however. Mr.. Smonds seems to have had
an nth hour awakening. He pronounces the docu-
ment-the League covenant.-at which he has per-
sstently and consistently sneared as the worlds
best bet" and makes the startling discovery that
Germany is already whetting her sword preparatory
10 the next war" He the world reverting TO
disorgSnlzaton, with nothing done allies
trustful OF each other. and danger of conflict into
which may be drawn-that is not far off.
While be pretends TO say these things rs if with
grave apprehension. one following his course can
but stop 20 wonder, Is he really gravely zap
preheusious" or is nc merely "anticipatious' the
American state of mind; anticipation hypocriti-
esIiy applied TO up his sIee. One has had lit

NEGOTIATING FIRST.

The railroad brotherhoods engaged in
trying to convince the government that they ought
TO have higher pay They ask increases of so cents
to $3.50 a day and other wage schedule changes
There has been some fear that. if any hitch de-
veloped in the negotiations. the trainmen would go
on strike gain their ends. They have been prompt
with strike threats in the past Now, however they
seem TO be going the in different spirit
Acting Prest Shea OF the locomotive fremen and
engineers says:
IF the demands turned down will
continue negotiations. There will be no strike
until last effort TO reach the desired end
by arbitration has been exhausted"
Evidently the brotherhoods have learned some
thing from the experience Of the coal miners, who
tried striking first and negotiating afterward.
The prince of Wales went to White Sulphur
Springs w Va. 'incognito. with his suite" And
naturally nobody knew who ne was except every
body town.
Congress seems to have deported Berger 10 Mil

The allies Russian policy seems to be of the 'off

Well Victor Berger will not represent Milwaukee
in congress; but he will still represent Milwaukee

tie reason to for months that Mr. simonds
was otherwise than fearful lest there be
wars in his time for him to expert" The pros
pect OF his having opportunity to--'if this hap
pens that may happen" and "if this don't happen
that may not,"-a military specialist" ought to
du his heart with rejoicing
Maybe too there is another apprehension that has
come TO Mr. simonds When the
resulting. if it does the defeat Of the Paris
treaty and League of Nations the young OF this
republic may insist upon draft age including
editors special writer's, curb-stone hanneI-mouths,
and United States senator's 81 to 20 years old. with
out exemptions because Of paresis or lantern-jaws.
The thing to do is 10 make the do the fighting

our people. allies and the world. in de

HARD LUCK.

Man will soon be so secure
against all forms Of disease that he
should soon be able to set death at
defiance.-A Magazine.
I've been immunized against the
pneumOcoccus;
I've been filled with bugs that
battle with the flue:
Coughs and colds no more. alright
me for their microbes seldom
bite me,
And are harried from my system
if they do.
But / dare not cross the street for
fear a motor
Will approach me from behind
and knock me flat.
So despite my best endeavor L don't
think I'll live forever,
For the doctors don't innoculate
for that
I've been PROCEED against the evil
germs IF typhoid
By a shot or two Of arsenate of
lead;
ChillS and fevers do not rack me,
for as soon as they attack me
They are met with savage drugs
that kill them dead.
But railroad train may dump me
in a culvert
And alight mass Of ruins on my
neck,
And, when once it has descended.
my existence will be ended
For the doctors have no serum for
a wreck.
I have taken all the vaccines yet
invented,
I'm secured against the tetanus
and pipp,
Gout, catarrh. appendicitis, ear
ache, ague, laryngitis,
HOusemaid's knee and ninety
seven forms OF grip.
But if / should tumble off the
Woolworth building
II is likely 1 should not survive
the fall.
So inspite OF my reliance on the
miracles Of science
I'm afraid won't live always,

FIREl GOOD SERVANT. BAD MAsTERr

TWO news dispatches relating to peculiarly horri-
bic fatalities caused by FIRE printed one under
the other, in the same newspaper. The first is of
family OF five a Kentucky farm:
THE FIRE broke out on a lower floor. below
the sleeping quarters The three children all
under IS years old, incinerated. Their
oharred bodies found today in the ruins.
The father was fatally burned while trying 10
the children. and the mother also
ceved mortal injuries before being carried out
by her husband"
The other story is of people in apartment in
Binghamton. N Y:
Trapped in their apartments after an outside
stairway. their only means Of exit had burned
away, the father. mother and two children, Il
years and five months respectively. burned
death. Two other tenants of the same build
ing were burned severely and may die"

has not been used all summer is called into service
without proper overhaulng and examination. Some
defect which would be noticed and attended to by
day does its deadly work at night, by the time
the people in the house realize what has happened,
it IS too late.
IN the case of gas stoves the pressure is apt to
come up during the night when less gas is being
used in the district and the moderate fire Of the
evening becomes a roaring blast by midnight
