BY GENE BYRNE.

That passage controls the whole
document.
The report declares that the
treaty is 1.-THE most important sub
ject that ever came before the sen
ate of the United States" Yet
though the happiness of mankind
and the destinies Of nations are in
volved, the committees report asks
the senate to treat the matter purely
as though it were 4 question of
party interest.
The report speaks of "a solemn
public duty it declares that the
United States can best serve the
cause of peace "by not permitting
herself to be fettered by the dictates
of other nations or immersed or
tangled in all the broils and con-
flcts of Europe"
If this report had emanated from
a committee of board of aldermen,
intelligent men would dismiss these
expressions as mere canting hum
bug. Coming from committee of
so august u body as the senate of
the United States, in the known
circumstances which have called
them forth, we recognize such utter
ances as the fruit in part of parti-
san calculation, in part of vindictve
passion.
But we read the purpose of the
committee in its acts. The definite
things it recommends to the senate
for adoption are perfectly in keep
ing with the spirit of the burning
passage in which it declared that
peace may 90 to wreck and the
gains of victory be thrown to the
dogs, but these perversely minded
men of the committee must have
their Way.-NeW York Times.

When the constitution of the United States
the birthday Of which was observed yesterday
was in process of ratification by the original
states, many citizens assailed it most bitterly.
1t would rob the people Of their liberties said
the opponents George Washington who had
had some experience in fighting on the battle
field for the liberties of the people concerned,
said this "The constitution or disunion are be-
fore US to choose from. If the constitution is
our choice, a constitutional door is open for
amendments, and they may be adopted in a
peaceable manner, without tumult or disorder"
Washington's wisdom may be applied now to
the covenant of the League of Nations The
covenant is open to amendments. Like the con-
stitution in its original form, it is not perfect.
But "a constitutional door" is left open, through
which may enter ''in peaceable manner with
out tumult or disorder" such amendments as
the wisdom Of man may dictate. The covenant
or disaster are Cor is) before US to choose from.

WOMAN'S WORST ENEMY

HIS NEWSPAPER has taken the opportun
1 ity heretofore to mention the well-knowl
fact that the high heel (or foot center-piece
worn by young girls and women of the presen
day is the chief lady-killer on the market. AS
your family doctor, we have said, just what tn
high heel does to you. We are gratifed to dis
cover another Oklahoma newspaper which look
upon the high heel as woman's worst enemy
This is from the Miami Daily News, one of tn
brightest papers in the state:
Next to the former kaiser and his crew,
the persons who have done the most in
jury to the American people are American
shoe makers.
There is not an honest doctor in the coun-
try who will not admit that many of the
troubles from which women and girls suf-
fer today are caused by tight shoes and
high heels-particularly high heels.
The tight shoe deforms the foot and
makes it impossible for the person to walk
naturally.
The high heel throws the whole struc-
ture of the wearer out Of position and af-
fects some of the most delicate organs of
the body.
An absurd story is going the rounds
that fashion frowns on tight shoes and
common sense has ended the fad of high
heels. The declaration also is made that
girls have taken to athletic sports to such
an extent that the flat heel and good
sized shoe now are good form.
That is ridiculous. How ridiculous it is
requires observation only of the footwear
of the women and girls you see on any
city highway.
High heels and tight shoes predominant.
The so-called French heel, which is
most in favor, does not come under the
heel at all but under the center of the
foot.
The makers of such shoes are doing in
jury to the living and the unborn. They
do more harm than they know.
Men have learned much, by reason of
the war, Of the virtue of a shoe to conform
with the foot that the Creator gave to man,
but women have not.
We hope that our lady friends will read tn
foregoing paragraphs carefully and reflect up
on them. They contain sound truths If yol
doubt this statement, just ask your docto
When we get to congress we intend to intro
duce, the first day there, bill making it cap
ital offense to manufacture or sell shoes witt
the so-called French high heel-if we find tina
the constitution permits.

WORLDS RECORD IS RUTH's.
Big Boston American Slugger Smashe.
Out His 26th Homer of Season.

Babe Ruth of the Boston Red Sox went
over the top in New York yesterday with
a crash that reverberated throughout the
baseball world. Babes pile-driving wallop
into the right field stands in the eighth
inning of the first game was the big
feature of great contest, and of a double
victory of the Red Sox over the Yanks.
the scores were to ] and to 0. The
king of swats smashed Buck Freeman s
record and all other home run records
made since Adam was a boy by hammer
ing drive out of the park, one of the
most vicious he ever hammered making
his 26th homer for the season. This mum
Der surpasses the great and long-standing
record made in 1899 by the hard hitting
Buck Freeman by one. Freeman's record
was IS.
The crowd, quite a large number. Is DOC
or so, got just what it was looking for
1t can well be said that everybody left
the Polo grounds satisfied that they had
received full value for the coin spent. The
fans trudged to the park to seen the new
batting king in action and in hopes that
they might be able to say that they saw
the great Bostonian bust up the smuggling
record. He did, and what a bust he made
of it!
Ruth's record-breaking drive will never
60 into the books as fuke clout. If ever
circuit drive or any other kind of drive
was deserving of four bases that one was
Ruth's yesterday Had the stand not
been in the way it would have been go
ing yet. 1t would have been home run
on any park, even in the old Roman Col
iseum

TWO ARE MADE
ADM|RALS FOR LIFE
Naval Leaders Benson and
Sims Shown High Honor
by the House
LITTLE OBJECTION
EXPECTED IN SENATE
Seven Votes Against the Promotion
in the House-Only Three Other Ma
val Men Granted Such a Title-Op-
position to Giving March a Plumb.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The house
yesterday honored the nation s naval
leaders in the war, Admirals William
S. Benson and William S. Sims, by yot-
ing to confer on them for life the high
est rank in the navy.
BY vote of PA to a bill was
passed authorizing the President to
appoint them to the permanent rank OF
admiral in recognition of their services.
Admiral Benson won distinction as
chief of naval operations and the work
of Admiral Sims as chief of the Ameri-
can forces in European waters is con-
sidered one of the brilliant achieve
ments of the nation s history. Similar
honors have been conferred on only
three others, Farragut, Dewey and Por,
ter.
Both leaders were highly praised dur.
ing debate on the bill, which developed
into a eulogy of their work, and the
scattering opposition to granting the
high rank came as a distinct surprise
as was the case when four members
voted against honoring General Perish
ing with the permanent rank of gen.
eral The members voting emo" yes
terday were all Democrats, three of
them being from Texas, where opposi-
ton to the Pershing honor was encoun-
tered. They We're Representatives Con-
nally, Garner and Jones, all of Texas;
Quinn and Johnson, both of Mississip-
pi; Huddleston (Ala.) and Thompson
(Okla.).
Little objection is expected to the
Benson Sims bill in the senate thus
leaving unapproved only the recommen-
dation of President Wilson to make
Peyton c. March, chief of staff of the
army, a full general. Although there
is strong objection to this proposal,
Chairman Kahn (Cal.) of the house
military committee is definitely in ia
vor of it and plans to ask for vote in
the near future.
