1T LOOKS LIKE RESERVATIONS,

Indications at this date, according to the lat
est word from Washington are that the senate will
ehortly vote for ratification of the peace treaty
with reservations. The reservations program will
win, despite the pleas of President Wilson and a
large number, not only of the democratic leaders.

CONTENTED

THERE'S one who is contented-the bard
who writes this pome-though men around
have vented harsh language, flecked with
foam; | like the work I'm doing, the errands
I'm pursuing the kind of rags I'm chewing, the
wreath upon my dome. like the pay I'm draw
ing-it keeps me out of debt-though other
guys are jawing about the wage they get;
like the way I'm dining; have no cause for
whining although my face is shining and damp
with honest sweat. | like my little cottage
it's humble but it's nice; like my frugal pot
tage, composed of prunes and rice; like the Tyre
I'm drumming, like the book m thumbing;
I'll have kick a-coming until m placed on
ice | like the Autumn weather before the
winter wakes; | like the kind of leather of which
they make our steaks; this world is good to stay
in, to put up wood and hay in to work around
and play in and all complaints are fakes. Oh,
evils existing; I've known it all along; I'm
weening and I'm visiting that many things are
wrong; but beehng will not cure them, or help
to endure them, and so just abjure them

THE LEGION ON THE JOB.

The boys Of the American Legion have again
come to the front with a demonstration of where
they stand. William D. Haywood, secretary of
the W. w., recently liberated from federal prison
at Fort Leavenworth, will not speak in Sioux City
November 2, scheduled, if members of Mono
han Post of that city stop him. At recent
meeting members of the post appointed commit
tee to secure peaceable cancellation of Haywood

preparation an address of welcome for HAYWOOD

ture of the treaty fight will be reached early next
week after the defeat this week of all the proposed
amendments to the covenant including the John
son resolution seeking to equalze the vote of Great
Britain and the United States in the League assem-
bly,, although the vote is equaled in the League
council, which is the legislative and governing
body
1t is probable, therefore, that final vote
ratification will be reached by November s.
The treaty will be ratified by that vote without
textual change and the interpretations agreed upon
by the republicans and the half dozen democrats
can be nothing more or less if incoi porated than
political opportunity to claim victory for the
Lodge leadership, an opportunity that would fail
OF its purpose but for the balance of power thrown
to by the Reed Smith Gore faction on the demo-
cratic side. The six democrats who are thus re.
lied upon by the republicans are Reed, of Missouri:
Smith, of Georgia; Shields, of Tennessee Walsh,
OF Massachusetts,; Gore, of Oklahoma, and
lhomas, of Colorado. With the aid of these six
democrats, the republicans will undoubtedly be
able to incorporate reservations in the ratification
resolution; without their aid however, the repub-
icans would be defeated in this final act of polit
lcal desperation just they are being defeated in
their efforts to send the treaty back to international
conference"

Good Riddance

We are shipping out the
traitors, sending them to other
shores, shipping out the ag1ta-
tors, anarchists and kindred
bores; and l hope they'll all be
potted; all be shipped abroad
and swatted, all the freaks
whose heads are spotted with
the customary sores. If a gent
comes DER the ocean, here to
settle down and toll, we will
greet him with emotion, treat
him as decreed by Hoyle; we
will give him all the chances to
improve his circumstances, and
rejoice as he advances, and with
him divide the spoil. AS a host
we are a model, if the, guests
on labor bent: but we have no
use for twaddle of a traitorous
intent; if the comer's elocution
calls for row and revolution
'gainst each sacred institution,
we despise that erring gent. In
the past we viewed with smiling
all the loud and frothy boys, for
we found them most beguiling,
with their whiskers and their
noise; but the war has made us
sterner, and the frantic Ian
guage burner, and the blood and
crossbones yearner rather peeves
US and annoys. SO we stop him
as he breaches, calling for our
country's goat, and we seize him
by the breeches, and the collar
OF his coat; so we send him
sailing, sailing, DER the ocean
wild and wailing, and he cusses
while he's bailing dirty water
from his boat.

CHAPTER HELPS
BOYS Get CASH
dome Service Department Of Rock
Island Red Cross Forwards $50
Applications for Bonus.
BENG DONE VOLUNTARILY
Washington Authorities Say Five
Weeks Should be Allowed for
Payment Of Money.

The home service department Of
the local Red Cross chapter has for
warded, to date, over two hundred
and fifty applications for the sixty
dollar bonus. The Red Cross I'M
dertook to do this for the discharg-
ed men purely as a voluntary SER
vice, at the same time providing a
letter for the men to sign making
application in due form, thus insur-
ing the quickest possible action in
Washington.
Every effort has been made to
safeguard the interests of the men
in securing their checks; the Red
Cross placed every application and
accompanying discharge papers in
an envelope; these envelopes were
firmly wrapped in heavy manila
tied and forwarded by registered
mail.
Although some of the men have
received their bonuses within a per-
iod of two weeks, Washington an
nounces that due to the present ire
menduous flood of applications the
checks are not to be expected be-
fore the lapse of five weeks period.
Checks are now being mailed at the
rate of $4,000 per day. but over
million and half men are making
application, so that the outgoing
checks fall far behind the pace set
by the incoming applications.
All Eligible.
There seems to be some misun-
derstanding among commissioned
officers as to their claims for the
bonus. The Red Cross points out
that all officers of the army, navy
and marine corps, all soldiers, sail
ors and marines and all former
Arnembers of the S. A. T. c., all field
Hsses and field clerks, and mem
beTs of the coast guard and geo
detic survey serving with the navy
in the present war, are entitled to
the $50 bonus provided they have
been honorably discharged, olsen
rolled, or ordered to inactive duty.
