REGISTERED CATTLE
AND REGISTERED BABIES

Horse and cattle breeders owning
"blooded" stock do not fail to have
their animals Registered" 1t adds to
their value and is attended to at once.
Contrasting this attitude with that
of careless physicians and parents the
u. S. Public Health Service gives the
following reasons why babies births
should be registered:
l. To establish identity.
2. To prove nationality.
3. To prove legitimacy.
4. To show when child has a
right to enter school.
5. To show when a child has the
right to seek employment under the
child labor law.
6. To establish the right of inheri-
tance to property.
7. To establish the right to mill
tary duty, as well as exemption.
s. To establish the right to vote.
8. To qualify to hold title to, and
to buy and sell real estate.
10. To establish the right to hold
public Office.
II. To prove the age at which the
marriage contract may be entered in
to.
IL. To make possible statistical
studies of health conditions.

THE GREAT EXCEPTION.
From The New York Sun

From the New York Sun.
The carpenters are on strike,
They will not touch a tool;
The children say they do not like
To start again to school,
The painters loudly swear they won't
Continue at their task;
The masons all declare they don't
Get what they ought to ask.
The actors are in arms because
They cannot get their rights
The nurses lay down shears and gauzs
For shorter, easier nights.
The tralnmen are dissatisfied,
They want a higher wage;
The hoboes say they are denied
Their dues-they're in rage.

Then. OF course, the wages OF all
workers had TO be Increased in an ef-
/ fort TO have their pay catch up with
their increased food and other living
/ costs Then, OF course, everything made
by such labor had TO go up slill higher.
Then, OF course. the Increased cost Of

cost Of everything caused by the in
creased rail rates and rail wages and
all wages-were chickens that came
home 10 roOst on tho very railway
workers. No longer would their in
creased wages buy as mucl for them
as their lower wages had bought for
them before. Likewise, for the very
same reason, The railr0ader's income
would no longer meet its cost Of liV-
ing. It's coal would rise due to the
same cause; its equipment would rise /;
It's supplies would rise-all its living
costs would rise
As for The poor stockholder or bond
holder, he had no place at all TO land

was omitted through the terrible plight
into which The railroads had cast them
selves, that interest paid him in a
shrinking dollar would not pay his
rent or buy his food or do anything
for him the way it had done before.
There was no possibility Of getting his
interest increased like wages. II his
dividends were not cut. the same thing
was true-and unfortunately many
dividends were cut So that this poor
devil lost at both ends. at the same
time, receiving less income and paying
more to live.
Not a mortal soul got anything good
out OF the railway rate increases
coupled with railway wage increases.

living costs rolling back and forth

! What would be the practical effect
should the treaty be amended TO pro
vide. so far as this country is con
cerned, that Germany is TO surrender
to China and not TO Japan the rights
or alleged rights, which Germany held
she formerly possessed in Shantungg
! Germany has ratified the treaty as
drawn at Paris, including the provision
that Germanys Shantung titles should
| go TO Japan Great Britain has similar
| ly ratified the treaty without change.
France, Japan and probably Italy are
soon to ratify.
The treaty says that when it is raii-
fed by Germany and by three other
OF the Allied and associated powers. it
shall at once go into, eject so far as
Germany and the ratiflers are con-
cerned.
Within a short time. then, the trans
fer of Germany's Shantung titles will
be an accomplished fact Germany will
be out Of Shantung and Japan in, not
merely on paper, but in fact.
Then along would come the United
States with a document saying she
does not agree 10 the transfer to Japan.
What could Germany do? Obviously
she could not make and carry into ef-
feet a transfer to japan and at the
same time make and carry into effect
an agreement with the United States
to transfer to China. This would be
a manifest absurdity. Germany can
transfer to Japan, or she can tranN'er
to China, but not to both.
So the picture Of American states
men going TO Weimar, hat in hand,
begging Germany TO transfer to China,
is an absurdity. Long before the mis-
sion would arrive the treaty, as an in
ternatiOnal document would be in ef-
feet. And IL is beyond he wit Of man
to devise any scheme or arrangement
by which Shantung shall go TO China
and to Japan at the same moment. And
as the transfer to Japan VIII
be achieved before our proposal reach
es Weimar, it is not difficult to predict
which provision will have actuality
What. then, will be the practical ef-
feet Of the amendment? II will have
none in Germany. It will be nothing
more than our protest against the
declaration that we do not
approve Of it. II there is any act it
must be in the direction of prying
Japan out Of Shantung. not Germany.
The German claim will be non-ex-
istent.
So as to the other provision Of the
treaty about which some minds are |
apparently boggled II will-nOt be pos |
,Hble for Germany TO haggle with us,
or we ask nothing special from Ger
many And so far as her obligations |
'un to other nations they will be in
ull effect
It is necessary to remember that the
reaty is a general affair, not merely |
in agreement between Germany and
he United States, and that Germany
annot modify the terms TO which she
las already agreed with others. Thus
he has nothing TO trade us and CAM
ot secure any general rewriting Of the
reaty.
With respect to reservations and
mendments all we can do is to control
ur own action. We can say that we
interpret the language Of the treaty in
pecifled ways, and the specifications
will thus acquit us Of Preach of faith
hould our interpretations differ at
ONE future time from those of other
ations. And we can make amendments
which have similar moral effect But
