WILL ENFORCE LAW

Sheriff Skaggs is determined
that the State law in regard to
the age of automobile drivers
shall be enforced. 1t is well,
and we hope that the sheriff will
have full support in his efforts
in carrying out the provisions Of
this law.
There are too many twelve and
thlrteen-year-old boys and girls
driving automobiles in this val
ley. and particularly in this town,
and it is time this dangerous
practice was stopped.

STANDING BY SIGNATURES

Jonathan Bourne, Jr.. whose
Republican Publicity Associa-
ton" serves as a sort of conduit
between the National Committee
of his party and the world at
large, has issued a famboyant
statement in which he predicts
that the thirty-nine senatorial
signers of the round robin
against a league of nations will
fulfill their threat to defeat the
treaty of peace if the covenant of
the league is articulated with it.
The reasons which Mr.. Bourne
offers in support of his dismal
prophecy are much more inter-
esting than the oracular an
nouncement itself. The men
who signed that document"
(which Mr.. Bourne calls the
second Declaration of Independ-
ence') !" never make
the mistake Of attaching their
signatures to q paper the con-
tents of which are not fully un.
derstood by Them he says. In
spite of this republican warning
against attempting to meet the
hopes of the world by establish
ing a league of nations, Mr..
Bourne intimates, President Will
SON proceeded to. the task and
procured the adoption of his pro-
posal. Wherefore, Mr.. Bourne,
with the spirit of major proph-
ct. foretells the death of the
league of nations.
1T is not conceivable that
there will be any departure from
the terms of that declaration"
(the round robin Mr. Bourne
assures his countrymen. "Hav-
ing deliberately endorsed that
document, no intelligent man will
have the hardihood to say that
those senators will repudiate the
sentiments that stand over their
signatures. Of course not :"
(The exclamation point belongs
to the quotation.)
In short, Mr.. Bourne seems to
believe that it is more vital that
these senators should stand by
their signatures than that they
should stand by their country,
including a majority of their own
party. This harks back to Plate
-"Quod scripsi, scripsi. ;"
1T makes no difference how
much the league may be changed
from, the form in which it was
originally published; so long as
it remains a rider and parasite
upon the treaty itself its defeat is
foreordained, " says Mr.. Bourne.
Some of these senators have
already resorted to qualification
and equivocation to escape the1
effects of the round robin
The whole trend of events makes
it inconceivable that most of
them will not depart from the
fatuous pledge they made in the
''round robin. T"
