the people, and for the sake of pos
terity, we shall act heartily and
unanimously in recommending this
constitution, if approved by con-
gress and confirmed by the conven-
ton, wherever our influence may ex-
tend, and turn our future thoughts
and endeavors to the means of hav-
ing it we'll administered.
"On the whole, sir, l can not help
expressing the wish that every mem
Der of the convention, who may still
have objections to it, would with me,
on this occasion, doubt little of his
own infallibility, and to make mani
fest our unanimity, put his name to
this instrument"
All intelligent citizens must be-
lieye that a league OF nations to en-
force peace, would "be blessing to
the people, if we'll administered"
They may also we'll doubt whether
any other peace conference may be
able to make a better" covenant.
Even if you are not in full accord
with all the provisions of the league
OF nations covenant would it not be
best to emulate the example of
Franklin and sacrifice the opinions
you have of its errors to the public
good" Time and experience have
proved that the objections to our
constitution were not well founded
and the objections which have been
raised to the league of nations are
likely to prove equally immaterial.

Irritation was exaggerated by our gen

viii teach US speaking French instead
OF the book French they taught in my
generation?
And we ran into certain French
peculiarities which we found 1t hard to
understand. For example. early in our
war fine old chateau near Bordeaux
was leased for a headquarters BY the
terms Of the lease we were to leave
everything exactly as we found it,
The chateau in its four or five hundred
years of existence had never known
sanitary plumbing; The owners bathed
in wash basins or rubber tubs. Ex-

When, last January. we ended the
lease and moved out the officer who
conducted the business offered to leave
the plumbing where It was, since its
removal would cost as much as 1t was
worth. The French owner refused. We
had to take out our plumbing What
he wanted from that chateau was not
sanitation, but venerable beauty, and
the sense that he dwelt in the same
Identical home as his ancestor of the

The American finds it hard to under

wipinc oat Predatory Animals.

During 1918 hunters Of the United
States department Of agriculture killed
SO gray wolves in New Mexico, "a
mountain lions. il notwithstanding
bears, 1850 coyotes. and $50 bobcats,
we are told. These animals were
killed at total expense of $24, $50,
and the saving effected by their de-
structiCn, ON the basis commonly ac-
copied by stOckmen, amounts to $215,-
$50 annually. Hunting during the
spring period destroys many young,
and thus prevents increase. Many
coyotes not accounted for in the fig
ures given were destroyed by poison
The killing of these animals marks a
long stride in determination Of gray
wolves and other predatory animals,
and the saving is cumulative for years
to come.

FLYERS TO HUNT OUTLAWS
Cotton Plantations Planted in Defiance

The department of agriculture has
adopted the airplane TO its needs, and

southern California.
Lieutenant Compere at Ellington a
year ago investigated the cotton stu

sion OF pink bollworm from Mexico 1t
was necessary TO create restricted
safety zones where no cotton could be
grown. Certain outlaw planters In
land surrounded by heavy forests have
defed the government and planted In
these districts, which are difficult TO

NOT CLASS LEGISLATION

In an address before the Mary
land Bankers association at its re-
cent meeting in Atlantic City, Judge
Charles e. Lobdell, member of the
Federal Farm Loan Board, replying
to published attack on the Federal
Farm Loan Act as class legislation,
said
Comment has occasionally been
made that the Farm Loan Act was
class legislation in favor of the farm
Ell. Such a statement can only spring
from lack of consideration of the
facts. 1t is a natural and proper
supplement of the Federal Reserve
Act, but it does not go so far to as
/ sist the farmer as the Federal Re-
serve Act goes to assist the CONNER
cial world. Let us see. The dealer
III cotton, or grain, or pork, or any
other warehouseable farm produce,
may, through his individual bank,
Il nder his paper based upon such
product to the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn and the government says to him
in effect that if there is not money
enough in the country to meet your
needs, we will manufacture special
currency for that purpose. The gov
eminent of the United States will
urderwrite that money and make it
q legal tender abongst its citizens
in ordinary transactions. The gov
eminent assistance stops far short
of this in the Federal Farm Loan
Act; the farmer may take his secur-
| ity to the national farm loan asso-
citation, which, for the purpose of
comparison, is his bank, and the
association may take that paper to
the Federal Land Bank, which is the
Federal Reserve Bank, and if there
is not money available in the bank
to make the loan, the Federal Land
Bank may issue bonds and sell those
bonds upon the market, if it can find
anybody to buy them, but the gov
eminent does not make this security
basis of issue and assumes no fin
ancial responsibility in connection
Herewith. Thus it will be seen that
i instead of being class legislation in
+ favor of the farmer, the fact is, Dor
rowing with as much grace as a
/ standpat republican can. a figure OF
speech from our friend Bryan, that
/ the national government in its fjnan-
cial policy has done and does dc
! more for the men who trade in the
I products of the farm than it does for
the men who toll in the sun and in
the earth to give the product of the
farm to the nation.

PROPER AMERICAN IS SIMS
Many Reasons Why Rear Admiral
Has Obtained and Retains GEN.
erai Popular Regard.

Rear Admiral Sims came quietly
into town the other day. made a
speech or two, and when he left he
had Washington hanging TO his very
abbreviated jacket tail. Folks here
certainly did like the admiral. A
popular Idol that obtains The plaudits
Of Washington Is pretty good.
These are some Gf the things the
people liked about the admiral: He
said very positively that he will not
write a book on the war: he referred
10 the navy's part in the war as it's
stunt; he boosted General Pershing
TO the skies. indicating that the ad-
miral is without jealous streak; he
referred iocularly to himself os the
only rear admiral in captivity" and
said he was glad to exhibit himself If
the folks wanted 10 see him; and,
best of all, he took time 10 talk with
every one who could squeeze word
into his ears.
Down at the Union station, when the
admiral was boarding his private car,
Il gray-haired woman rushed up and
shook his hand warmly.
This is the proudest day Of my life.
admiral" she said. 81 now have
shaken hands twice with YOU"
"All right. my dear lady," the adj
miral replied, raising his cap. I'm
glad If meeting me pleases you. Come
around again the next time I'm in
town and well shake a third time"
II any further proof that the ad.
miral is human were needed, it might
be stated that he plays rafting
game of Notwithstanding Star.

Use for Rat Skjna

Exhibiting the cured skin of brown
rat, the veterinary inspector of New
castle, Eng, has pronounced such
skins superior to the Innings found in
some expensive coats. The difficulty
in creating ratskin industry appears
to be the uncertain source of supply !;
but the demand that would be aroused
would be an incentive for destroying
the rats that now constitute so serious
a plague. The bodies of the animals
need not be wasted, as they form suit
able food for pigs, poultry and dogs.

OLD THINGS UNDER THE SUN
Democracy in Ancient Jewish Days and
the League of Nations,
Are Two

The democratic idea is of great antiq-
uity, the Christian Herald reminds it's
readers. Under the prophets and
judges, Israel was a democracy. 1t was
not until they were fascinated by the
barbaric splendOr and unrestrained IL
cense Of the heather nations around
them that they began to be dissatisfied
with their own simple ways and to long
for king and a SNOWY court. 1t was
the lure of sin and worldly vanity.
Samuel warned them against courts
and kings and told them of what would
ed. The vision of the age of peace
began as early as eight centuries 3. c.,
but 1t was not until the Christian era
that the world change in the existing
order fully dawned upon the minds of
men. The idea of league of nations
is not new. Such a league was fore
Swallowed by Jean Bloch, in his re-
markable book, THE Future Of War"
issued 20 years ago. 1t was also fore
seen by Emanuel Kant who, in his es-
say VII Cl pcluul L tuCt, NIOle lHdl
the law of nations must be based on
the federation of free states. At diff
ferent times leaders in national and
international reform have had visions
of such league, but always as pos
sibility Of the remote future. It has
remained for the United States TO
promulgate 1t at a time when the
world seems prepared to listen.
