president and his advisers saw it at Paris.
The latter did not approve OF many things
that ultimately found their way into the treaty,
the~ Shantung award included. but they saw
that if they conceded nothing there would be
no agreement. That, of course. was equally
true Of the delegation from every other one
of the negotiating powers:
Reference to Shantung may be stricken
from the treaty before it is ratified. as Senator
Lodge now proposes doing. a reservation
may be written in, but this will not promote
harmony in the relations Of the two nations.
Japan looks upon China legitimate field
for expansion and if the United States under
takes alone to block the program trouble will
be much more likely to occur than If the moral
and economic pressure of all the leading pow
ers, expressed through a league Of nations,
were brought to bear.

Disposing of Russia.

Enemies are hammering at the Rus, n reds
from all sides and claim to have them on the
verge of begging for terms.
The question is whether those who are so
industriously working to wrest Russia from
the clutch of the soviets have clear idea OF
what they are going to do with it, once they
get it. Driving such leaders as Lenine and
Trotzky out of power is a laudable undertake
ing, but it will not do much good unless those
who do the driving are prepared to substitute
a better form of government and better men
to administer it.
The soviet government is about the simplest
there is, but the Russians also are about the
simplest people that have white skins. If they
are to govern themselves it may be that moth
ing more advanced than soviets will answer.
It is also a question whether any class gov
eminent would be better than a monarchy,
even If it were certain that the people would
surrender the privilege Of ruling, or misruling,
themselves which they have so recently won.

WINNING A WIFE.

Beyond Their Limits.

In the collapse of President Wilson, Colonel
House and Samuel Gompers, all within short
space of time, the country has been made to
realize wildly the intense strain and the sus-
tanned effort which have characterized the ne
gotiations at Paris The end of the war did
not lessen the responsibilities of either of the
three. If anything it added to them. All went
beyond the limit of their physical resources in
the discharge Of what they conceived to be
their duty.
The average man with average cares and
worries generally is able to get away from
them part Of the time. Usually he leaves them
at the Office or shop at night and returns to
them in the morning refreshed by a period of
rest 1t has not been so with those who have
taken leading parts in world affairs for the
last few years For the most part they have
been forced to keep company with their trou-
bles at night as well as by day. They have
burned the candle at both ends and now ma
ture is exacting its penalty
In the of the president the wonder is
that he kept up as long as he did. Viewed
simply as a feat of physical endurance the part
he played in the last five years has been moth
ing short of wonderful. Rigid adherence to
simple rules of living, including regular out
vtgor and it was only when confined for three
weeks to the limits of a railway coach and
under the strain Of travelling, meeting thou
sands of people daily and continuous public
speaking that he gave way.
1t is charged that the doctors are not as
frank as they ought to be in revealing the
nature Of the presidents illness. Certainly
there is no valid reason for cOncealing any
thing and every possible reason why the pub
lie should be fully informed. AS a matter OF
fact if one is disposed to view the matter
calmly and in the light Of reason there is not
much ground for suspecting that there has
been either concealment or Misrepresentation.
The physicians bulletins tally closely with
what might be expected under the circum-
stances. Exhaustion of vital nerve force is
not uncommon and does not necessarily in
volve organic arrangement. Statements that
have come from the bedside need place
strain on the credulity unless one wishes to
be skeptical.
The American people ought to be sufh-
GENTLY versed in political trickery to see the
motive back of the fnsinuations that are being
industriously peddled in connection with the
presidents illness. Everybody knows that
there is a powerful political ring which wants
Mr.. Wilson out OF the way. They think this
is their chance and they do not propose to let
the scruples stand in their way.
Only fools will be deceived by their 1ibels.

The Shantung Amendment.

For the second time the senate has voted
upon treaty changes and in both instances it
has rejected them By majorites which were
substantial. Before the vote was taken each
time a number OF members who had been
counted upon to stand with Lodge and John
son to the finish did a deal of explaining and
ended by lining up against doing that which
might nullify the compact AS one CORE
spondent for an anti-administration news
paper put it in telling about the rejection of
the Shantung amendment:
Most of these senators opposed the amend
ment not because Of any lack Of sympathy
with its purposes, but because they feared an
amendment might destroy the treaty"
In other words the senate is being forced
reluctantly to see the matter precisely as the

enumeration he made of the com

The guests numbered 1904. The
female of the species lays about
three hundred eggs in "a hours

days. The average duration of life
in the Pediculus clan is up to 50

Where do the children get EN-?
Well, children are affectionate and
not at all squeamish or discrim-
mating. They put their heads to-
gether over many a problem. In
many public schools some of the
children are constantly infested
with lice and these children are as
likely to come from well-to-do
homes as from the poorer homes.
Hats, caps, the upholstery of car
seats, brushes used by other per-
sons, and the fingers or finger
nails may convey lice.
A head louise has beenpobseryed

in one minute and so seconds I'M
paced. A climber like that natur-
ally seizes an opportunity to get
up in the world.
The eggs (nits) are firmly glued
to the hair shafts near the scalp.
The primary effects Of head lice
are transitory prickling or itching
sensations, and later there is per-
haps restlessness or sleeplessness,
irritability, anemia, general debil-
ity.

The best general treatment con-
sists of thoroughly saturating the

and kerosene, which may be left

old world statesmen were more than skeptical.
They were hostile to the "idealistic" no.
ton of the American exponent of law and JUS
tice in international relations. Alliances they
knew and understood. A league of nations
was noble dream, but it could wait Presi-
dent Wilson differed, insisted, fought. As Mr..
Hoover and others have told and as history
has recorded. gradually the noble dream"
became an absolute, immediate necessity Even
Clemenceau was converted. Peace, ne was
forced to admit, was more difficult to make
than war" After four and a half years OF
bitter struggle and intense hatreds, he found
treaties alone could not give Europe security
and stability.
France needs and wants the league. The
British empire needs and wants the league.
Neutral nations nead the league and wish to
join it. In the words of Lloyd George, the
British prime minister, civilization cannot af-
ford longer TO squander its time and treasure
on the destruction of its own handiwork" Tho
league to prevent war has become the very
bulwark of modern civilization. Every day
yields fresh illustrations of this truth.
Without the United States, the league is
nothing more than extended alliance of ma
tions. With the United States in the league,
disinterestedness, breadth of view, righteous
ness and wise clemency to repentapt nations
that have grievously sinned will be assured.
Under certain reservations essential to the pro-
lection of its sovereignty and its vital policies,
the United States should join the league with
out unnecessary delay. The defects and imper-
fections of the covenant can be cured-will be
cured in time, provided the free and peace
loving nations play their part and exert their
influence members OF the league.

IVAN THE TERRIBLE.

Car Ivan crawled from his downy
couch and started off on his daily
crouch. He slapped the kids and
he kicked the dog and swore till
the air was a birthstone fog; he
clustered forth in his barbarous
wrath, and woe to the subject who
crossed his path; for wherever he
toted that villainous grump the
census figures began to slump.
There was some excuse for the
tyrant czar, for he had troubles
his life to mar; he fed on dynamite.
grief and care, and it made him
cross as a Russian bear. But what
of the Ivans who go each day their
quarrelsome, ruthless, fiendish
way, flling the world with tears
and groans, with signs of anguish
and bitter means? They are the
fellows who get up wrong and fuss
and squabble the whole day long;
they rage and push on the crowded
street and bullyrag everyone they
meet: they poison the air with
venom green. on innocent folk they
vent their spleen; they fume and
wrangie, they grunt and growl.
they snarl and spUtter. they kick
