self to the manufacture of safety
pins or the best four-cylinder car for
the money In the world as the case
may De, which see in the paper that
the refusal of the United States Sen
ate to confirm the Treaty of Peace
looks quite certain to them people to
whom the winning of the willard
Dempsey fight by Jefr Willard looked
quite certain, Mawruss."
We'll, to my mind, Abe, them
round robins is right to look into
the treaty and the league of nations
covenant before they confirm them"
Morris said. ALSO, Abe, you couldn't
blame them Senators for getting in
dignant about the Shantung settle
ment"
personally l couldn't blame them
and 1 couldn't praise them, Mawruss,
because like a hundred million other
people in this country, not being in
the silk business, Mawruss, l never
had the opportunity to find out
nothing about even where Shan
tung was on the map till they print
ed such map in the papers last
week, and If you've got to GO and
look it up on map first to find out
whether you should ought in be in
dignant or not. Mawruss, you
couldn't get exactly red in the face
over Japan taking Shantung, unless
you are a Senator from the Pacific
Coast, where people have got such
wonderful color in their cheeks
that Fasteners think it's the
climate. when as a matter of fact
it is thinking about Japanese un-
restricted immigration that does it."
But the Senators represent the
PEOPLE which elects them, Abe" Nor
lis said, 'and il it don't take much
70 make Californian indignant about
Rny little thing he suspects Japan IS
doing, understand, then Senator Hi
ram Johnson has got a right to go
round looking permanently purple over
this here Shantung affair. AS for the
other Senators, Abe. the theory on
which they talk each other deaf. dumb
and blind is that they are doing a job
whch it is impossible for the 100, 10000
people of this country to do for them
selves. They are saving their consti-
tuents the trouble of leaving their
homes and spending a lot of time on
government controlled railroads, GO
ing to and from Washington to make
their own laws understand. That is
Abe, and if the people of this country
couldn't get indignant over what amt
right in this here treaty of peace and
league of nations without working up
such Indignation by several days care
full investigation of the reasons for
getting indignant. then it is up to the
United States Senate to get indignant
for them, even il the individual Sena-
tors has got to sit up with wet towels
round their heads and strong black
coffee stewing on the gas stove, so as
not to fall asleep over the job of let
ting their feelings get the better of
their judgment IN working up a six
hour speech which will give the coun-
try the impression that il just came
pC urlng out on the spur of the moment
as a consequence OF the Senators red
hot indignation about this here Shan
tunE."
It's too bad that the House OF Rep
Iesentatives couldn't be mind readers
like the Senate, Mawruss, and get off
Indignant speeches about what is MAX
ing certain sections of the country so
indignant, Mawruss. that If their Rep
Iresentatives are going to really and
truly represent them, there would be
a regular epidemic of apopexy in
Washington. Abe said. which I am
talking about the enforcement Of pro-
Ihibition, Mawruss."
For myself Abe, couldn't un-
derstand why it should be necessary
to pass a law to enforce a law"
