MARIE GOLD.
By ELLEN EDDY SHAW.

l wonder how many boys and girls
would like to support and care for
little French orphan this winter? |
know one whose name is Marie Gold.
Some people call her Marigold. You
can buy her for about five cents. She
comes in a little paper package, and
when you look at the seeds inside
you will wonder how a nice little
French baby is going to come out of
that. But if you plant those seeds, six
of them, in little three-inch pot you
will have anywhere from four to six
French babies poking up out of the
soil.
Fill your flower pot to within an
inch of the top with nice garden soil.
If you have none saved up you can
buy a little from the florist. Then lay
four or six seeds carefully on top,
cover them with one-quarter inch of
soil and press this soil down carefully
with your fingers. After n week or ten
days you will see pushing up and out
the first of your six orphans.
Little Marie Gold will grow to be
about five inches tall and then she will
have bright, golden flower head. She
is little dwarf and never grows any
taller Out in the garden in the sum-
mer grows her American cousin, quite
tall; but little French Marie Gold
never reaches. even outdoors, more
than eight inches in height. 1t will
take about six weeks from the time
you plant the seeds to the time when
she blossoms. l know of no little flow
er child so hearty, so cheerful, and so
easy to raise as she.
All the boys and girls who can get
a box or little pot of some soil may
have French marigolds blooming in.
doors in the winter. They are no
trouble to care for, because all they
need is little sunlight and an oc.
casional drink of water. Wait until
the soil around them gets very dry
and then give them plenty of water to
drink. Flower children are like real
children they need kind treatment
and good care. So look out for little
French Marie Gold and she will bios
som and smile away at you.
To Mothers-I know of no little
plant so easy to raise and so salts
factory in results as the French mari
gold. Do not make the mistake of
buying the seeds of the common Amer
ican marigold, for 1t will not do as well
as its little French sister. Neither is
it as dainty, nor as attractive to chill
dren.

How New York Got Nickname.

"City of Gotham" is a nickname Of
foreign origin with no particular ap-
plicability. Gotham Is the name of
an ancient village in England, whose
inhabitants, according to tradition.
onSe escaped burdensome duty
about to be put upon them by feigning
stupidity. This smart trick in pre-
tending to be fools gave rise to the
expression "the wise men of Gotham"
and the story of "the three wise men
of Gotham who went to sea in bowl"
The name was first applied to New
York city in a humorous magazine
called Salmagundi, started in 1907 by
Washington Irving and two or three
others, in which they made fun of the
pretensions of some of the wise men
of Gotham" meaning the New York
of that day. The magazine was read.
the fun-making approved and the nick
name became permanent.

control over II until study It's simple
and excellent mechanism. Its front

steering gear is strong and easily man
aged, and 1t is made entirely of wood
Both carts are also of wood, as well
as the mule and horse. and all are

er. The cars are painted red, white
and blue. so / know they are made In
our own country. The rag babies we
made ourselves. and although they are
"of a crudeness," they are none the
less beloved. The blocks were made
by measure at wood yard. Being
large and easily handled, a child can
build gates, bridges and platforms
with them big enough to walk under
or upon, and strong enough to stand
firm after they are built.
Our older children when they were
small played principally with imported
dolls dressed in native costumes. And
can remember that my brother and
had handsome books brought from
England, that my finest dolls were
French and his regiments of toy SOL
diers came mostly from the land of
militarism.
But our baby boy born during the
world war and forced to rely on sturdy
homemade toys, is much better off.
Lesson for Mothers.
There is a two-fold lesson here for
us mothers. One concerns the chill
dren themselves and the other goes far
afield into the laws of economics, world
production and the like.
We have found that our own sub
stantial, wooden, easily-handled play
things are what our children need and
want. Children's books we have
aplenty. the most artistic, l suppose,
in the world. And then we can de-
mand well-made, pretty American
dolls. 1t only remains for us to hold
to all these, and prove our patriotism
by refusing to buy foreign manufac-
tured toys, even If they are put on
the market again later on.
A far cry, isn't it, from baby boy
with his "toot-toot, ding-a-lang, chu-
chu," on the piazza, to the law of sup
ply and demand and the regulation of
one of the great industries of the
world? But in just such ways we are
now finding out how great problems
must be handled. We are going back
to our earlier and simpler days, when
we shall discard the nonessentials as
so much waste and rubbish. Let us
begin, then, at the beginning and stick
to toys-made in America.

Southern men are saying that the
wheat farmers are going to have the
better of the cotton growers after all.
Wheat producers We're very much dis
satisfied that the price of wheat was
fixed and retained ut $500 Il bushel
when the demand would have forced
the price much higher than that figure.
A great point was made that no price
was fixed on cotton, although it was
soaring around 80 and 81 cents n
pound. \ Southern member of the
house said that the advantage next
year was going to lie with the wheat
grower. He would still have his 500

Il bushel The cotton grower, how
ever, not having his price fixed at 30
cents Il pound. which was suggested II
short time ago. is likely to face Il price
of 16 or Il cents pound next yenr.
Consequently the wheat farmer will
have all the best of it, though he was
very much disturbed that II higher
price was not fixed for his wheat. The
end of the war caused reduction in
the price of wheat and will cause Il re-
duction in the price of cotton. If the
war had continued the demand for
both these commodities would have in
creased.

Some Republicans who are looking
forward to success in 1920 are
anxious on account of the pro
spective splits among the Republicans
in both the senate and house. IT
the house of representatives the divi-
sion will not amount to much. With
46 majority there will not be enough
insurgents to prevent the Republicans
from settling their differences in eau
Gus. But in the senate. with only two
majority, one or two senators are able
to upset any caucus action and they
promise TO do so unless they can have
their way. 1t is pointed out that these
Republicans cannot understand that
their victory will be valueless If they
cannot harmoniZe differences and that
Il quarrel is very apt to disorganiZe
the party to such an extent that it
cannot 90 into the next presidential
campaign with hope of success. The
anxious ones bark back to the differ
ences in 1910 which gave the Demo
Gratis their congressional victory, and
the split in 1912 which assured the
Democrats n presidential victory. Go
ing still further back, they point out
that 1t was the differences and splits
among the Democrats that kept that
party out of power for so many years.

No Objection in House to Any Of SEN
ate's Tax Amendments to the Great
Revenue Bill - Guards Removed
From Public Buildings.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-After the Civil war, n
contest of four years in which there
was an opportunity to develop splen-
did officers, three men finally received
the rank of lieutenant general and
general. They were Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan. But it was long after
the Civil war before Sherman and
Sheridan were advanced. Two men,
Farragut and Porter, became admirals.
For the most part, officers of high
rank in both the army and the navy
were denoted. They held commits
sions as volunteer officers, many be-
Ing major generals and many briga-
dier generals. But when the army
was reduced, many of these major
generals found themselves either ma
jors or lieutenant colonies. Only n
few became colonels.
After the Spanish war there were
great many promotions. Men went
up to high rank in both the army and
the, navy.
And now, since the big war has
closed, there is demand for keeping
the temporary high grades. 1t is sug-
gested that March, now the chief of
staff; PerShing, in command of the
American army. and Bliss, who has
been in France in Il military capacity,
shall be retained for life as generals,
and that the men who have been made
lieutenant generals shall also retain
their rank. The demand is also made
that Benson, Mayo and Sims retain
their ranks as admirals in the navy,
instead of going back to their posi-
tions in the regular navy as rear adj
mirals.
There is bound to he a bitter con-
test over this in congress. but it would
not be surprising to see these high
grades recognized in the array and
navy appropriation bills.
The Colorado statesman., 1919-01-25

An interesting fact in connection
with closing up the affairs of the
great war is that negotiations diff
fer from all other peace negotia-
tions, just as this war differed from all
other wars. For instance, the allies
are going to hold important confer
enceS and will then call in the Ger
mans, Austrians, Turks and Bulgars
and tell them just what they can agree
to. Heretofore when peace negotiators
met, the victors and the vanquished
generally met on equal terms. Such
at least was the way in which the
Americans and Spaniards met at the
peace conference which closed up the
Spanish war. OF course the victors
always have the upper hand, but the
vanquished are usually treated as
equals during the negotiations.
But the Germans are not going to
stand entirely rs interiors. When the
peace terms are presented to them by
the allied delegates it is said that the
Germans intend to stand firmly upon
the II points made by President VIII
son. They are preparing to assert that
they offered TO make peace on the IA
points: that the president then asked
the men who made this proposition for
whom they were speaking, and they re-
piled the German people; that there
upon an armistice was proposed and
they we're told to go to General FoclI
and deal with him as to AIR armistice;
that they went 10 General Foch and ac-
cepted his terms as to the armistice;
that now they get back to the peace
terms in the II points, and they will
claim that rs Great Britain and France
accepted those ii points, Great Brit
ain excepting the freedom of the seas
proposition only, the United States
and the allies are bound to make peace
on the IA points.
But even if this is the proposition
from Germany it must be remembered
that the allies have the German fleet,
most of the German guns. all of the
territory conquered by the Germans,
and that they are very well established
in the strongholds of the Germans on
the frontier. And more than that, Gen
eral Foch did not say anything about
IA points in the armiStice and the
nrmistice was later than the message
of the II points, and more than all
else. Germany will be compelled TO ac-
cept whatever the allies offer in the
way of peace terms.
The Colorado statesman., 1919-01-25

1t was interesting to note that when
the great revenue bill went back 70
the house of representatives with its
more than 600 senate amendments,
there was no contest made over any
tax increases or tax reductions or tax
additions. No contest was raised over
the question of making a different rate
of taxation for 1920 from that for 1919.
The contested items consisted of legiS-
lation. Four were brought forward.
one relating TO making the District of
Columbia bone-dry; another TO pre-
vent child labor by the use of the
taxing power: third to compel con-
tributors to political campaigns TO pay
100 per cent on contributions over
$500. to the United States govern
ment: and the fourth, the repeal of
the zone postage law and establish
ment of n different rate Of postage on
second-class matter. These items
caused considerable discussion. Mem
bers of the house showed more inter
est in them than they did in the tax
ing features of the bill One reason
was that every man in the house could
understand the four propositions that
caused the controversy and they did
not understand very much about the
tax portions of the bill.

The guards mat clustered so thick
ly around the entrances TO the govern
ment departments during the war have
disappeared. There was time. AMI
1t lasted until few weeks ago, when
a stranger had to undergo sort of in
duisition before being permitted to 90
into a government office and transact
his business. Passes We're issued to
employees and people whose business
often required them to visit the de-
partments. but others had to say whom
they wanted to see and what they
wanted to see him about before they
were passed through the Gordon of

however, rehabilitation began. and
now there are only the regular num-
her of watchmen on duty. Several of

World Examining Plan of League

HE draft of plan for league of ma
tons, submitted by President Wilson as
chairman OF the commission charged with tho
duty of making a report on that subject, at
plenary session Of the preliminary peace
conference represents the embodied judg-
ment OF the fourteen representative nations
on the commission, unanimously concurring
as to the necessary framework of Il docu-
ment with basic principles whose applica-
ton TO the working details Of the plan would
be sure guarantee against wars of aggres-
sion in the future. The action OF the COM
mission in reporting the draft without dis
senting voice as to any of its features nat
urally will predispose the public in its favor
while undertaking critical examination to
ascertain the strength and weaknesses OF the
document Il whole.
This study OF the plan by the people OF
all the nations before formal action by the
peace conference on the question OF its adop-
ton, either in the form reported or with
amendments, is greatly facilitated by the open
diplomacy" which makes public the report
OF the commission and the action of the
conference in postponing its consideration
until it has undergone critical analysis and
1Nll discussion by every interested nationality
The problem before the commission was ad.
mittcdly one of great difficulty as it had TO
devise definite plan for effectively presery-
ing the peace of the world with the least
possible interference with national sovereignty
ms result the document reported seems to
nave accomplished by setting up two main
principles: first, no nation shall go to war
until every other means OF settlement shall
be fully and fairly tried; second, no nation
shall forcibly seek to disturb a territory's
integrity or interfere with the political in
dependence Of the nations OF the world
Answering the objection OF that clement
which fears that the fruits OF allied victory
may be endangered, and the very object for
which league of nations is supposed to stand
defeated by providing for union which may
include all nations enemy as we'll as neu-
trail, this danger is amply safeguard ed against
py vestlng the controlling power OF the
League in the five great states which saved
civilization from the Hun menace so securely
that without their consent this control never
can pass from them. Control over its con-
Stitutcd membership from the outset and for
all time will inhcre absolutely in them
In the close study TO which the plan will
be subjected, it may be taken for granted
that there will appear some features which
VIII be objected to as lacking either in ncces-
sary strength to secure the prime purpose
OF the league or else infringe too much upon
national sovereignty; but il So under
the friendly attitude of the peace conference
toward the plan and in the light OF what
criticism may develop in the popular discus
sion there likely will appear way for the
reconcilement OF all differences and such
amendment OF the submitted draft as will
meet with general acceptance and enable the
machinery of the league to get into successful
motion.
