Forcing Baker Along

Sometime ago The Republican compared the order General Grant at Appomattox directing the beaten confederates to take their horses home with them for they would need them for the spring blowing, with the hesitation and red tape which has held together quantities of supplies now wasting but which urgently needed Mir. Baker does not know what to do in peace any more than he did in war, and now, then he is doing nothing
 There were and many thousands of automo- piles and trucks rusting in rain and We saw photograph the other day of parked said to contain 37,oO0 trucks which had been exposed the weather since the signing of the armstice. We suggested that the department make engagement to put these automobiles and trucks into the hands of people who could make use of them.
 Congress has taken the matter up It was stated in recent Washington dispatch:
 Washington, Oct. The republican leaders of she house have decided upon legislative action which will require the secretary of put the market for purchase by the general public the thousands of motor vehicles of all types which have standing exposed to the elements for more than a year II, various parts of the country. The resolution will be similar to that of which Representative Reavs re- publican, of Nebraska, author, compelling Secre- tary Baker to sell the army's surplus food to the public.
 It is estimated that the war department has a surplus today of approximately S5OOO motor vehicles trucks and automobes-which it has steadfastly re- fused to dispose of because Mir Bakers announced policy of protecting the manufacturers from compe luton with the government He has carried this policy so far in connection with motor vehicles as to constitute a defiance of congress which many months ago adopted legislation directing him to ap- porton the entire surplus among the various oeu..- ments or the government. The post office department was to have all it could use for mail purposes the agricultural department was to be given q liheral snare TOT use on it's experimental stations and the other departments were to be similarly accomno- dated The departments. it is stated immediateI,, submitted requests to MT Baker for motor tr,cks ana automobiles equalling the entire total Recent statistics show that only 19O0O cars were tp,,eo over to other departments by Mir.

BORN OF FIRE AND RI Ioony

tions count upon at least thirtythree denio- cratic votes to oppose the ratification of the ~zty That is just enough but that is conservative. We believe that he might also upon the vote of MT Borah that of Mir. Knox and believe, that of Mr. Johnson is he should need them. No doubt there other republicans who would fly his if any considerable part of his democratic following should desert him in campaign against the ratification of the treaty.
 But think that Mir Hitchcock is induging in bluff with the handicap that everybody knows that he is bluffng. He will try to defeat the treaty with such reservations as may be attached to It, whatever may be the the nature of them. We do not think that even word from the president could produce such result The democratic senators have their skins look for and they are not likely to imperl them to gratify the spite of the admin istraton
 There may not be great popular interest in the fate of the treaty itself think there is not that the interest has been steadily diminishing We have observed of late that almost any incident or issue is sufficient obscure the treaty to divert the public mind from it. But the people want it disposed of and believe that with it sufficiently hedged about by reservations safeguarding sovereignty the people want it ratified and put of the way. They would AOSSht any iudHeuFer py Wnlcn we might be made go all over it again.
 MT Hitchcock and the administration are aware or this They must be aware also that the admin stration has of late descended in popular favor and they are not likely to do anything to increase the depth of that descent It would not be becoming to great party to give way to childish pique because the senate Of the United States had exercised it's con- stitutonal right to determine whether or not it shall accept a treaty just as it may be presented to it.

Mr. Hitchcockis Threat

The surprisingly close vote on Senator Johnson's proposed amendment to the covenant of the League of Nations and the peculiar lineup of the senators removed whatever doubt may have existed and we do not think that there has been any doubt recently as to what will finally be done with respect to what Mir Hitchcock has called the Killing reservatiousp They win be attached
 The margin by which the Johnson amendment was defeated was much narrower than had been pected Senators voted against it who had favored more radical changes and other voted against t who were opposed to the treaty and the covenant in their present any possible form. In addition to these senators there many who voted against it who had pledged themselves to the support of the most rigid and radical reservations.
 That the administration leaders have given up hope of forestang the reservations has been evident dur ing the past four weeks since the return of the president to Washington The alternative was stated by Senator Hitchcock coming fresh from consultation with Mir Tumulty; There is doubt f the ability of the democrats to defeat the treaty the proposed killing reservations adopted. The republican may adopt the reservations. l am not counting votes this time, but if they do and the reservations of the contemplated, it nay he down that the treaty will not be ratified"

ALBERT PIKE RELICS LOST

Among the most valued documents lost by the burning of the Masonic Temple at Little Rock, Ark, was dispensaton in the handwriting of Albert Pike, which had been framed and hung on wall of the Occidental Council This dispensaton ating the Occidental Council. On the opposite wall hung the charter of the Occidental Council, corol- lary of the dspensation which was dated 1853. Two portraits of Albert Pike, in the lodge hall and the other in the council room, also have been de- stroycd. These portraits probably never be produced says Fay Hampstead secretary of the grand lodge. A record of Albert Pike's having been made a Mason of Western Star Lodge in the safe with other records of the Western Star lodge was not damaged. Some of the records saved date back to 1887.
 Albert Pike was in the opinion of many admirers the greatest Mason who ever lived He was widely known as an organizer of Scottish Rite Masonry Arkansas Gazette

By Frederic J. Haskin.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 21.-A year from today a presidential cam paign which will choose an executive for the most powerful of nations, to function during one of the most irn- portant periods in existence, will be nearing it's conclusion. Today, how ever, there is almost no information upon which to base a conclusion as to who will be the standard bearer for one party or the other.
 Possible candidates are ping called forth into the open as race horses might be led from their stables, and are being given workouts under the stop watch to determine their probable speed should they be entered in the great handicap. Among those that are now being looked over is Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas.
 Senator Capper is urged as the can didate of the great corn and wheat belt. He is urged as the man from Topeka, the very heart of that great middle United States which produces the food of the nation. He is urged as the idol of every farmer between the Alleghenies and the Rockies, as the man who appreciates their needs and who will build upon those needs as the basis for American we'll being.
 So if we give heed to this call from the corn belt, it is well that the pub lie there and elsewhere should get { bit of a picture of this man who i; a possible standard bearer.
 Senator Capper appeared the other night before the National Press clui in Washington, and recited 0 piece en. titled. There's Where the West Be gins" He said that the people O Kansas elected him governor becaus' he could not make speech. Hi theory is that they were tired o speech makers in public office. Tn senator's method of address is not ora torical It is conversational and in cIined to be confidential. He may no be a good speaker but he is a goo' talSer.
 He is about five feet six inches il height and would tip the scales a something like 130 pounds. He one ran a half pound over this mark, h says, when he was a SIS week re porter and lived for six months in Washington boarding house. He thin and wiry and active-a man wh carries the burden of no extra weigh and who keeps fit through a constan use of all his faculties.
 This United States senator is graduate newspaper reporter. He wa born in Kansas in the little town C Garnett in 1865, which means that h is now fifty-four He grew up in thi little prairie town which then had bu three or four hundred population. H got his education in the pgblie..school and did not carrys ig beyond shig school from which sfSe grad]} tedesf th age of eighteen.
