FRANCE AND THE LEAGUE

If the document Offered as semi
official statement CT Frances att'tude
toward the League be authentic, the
distrust with which the French For
eipn Office contemplatcs Geneva Is
due in great part to the refusal OF
the United States to JOIN the League.
RNt it is also reflection of Glenn
eneeau's objections to the League
and his preference for the Old Poi'cy
ot'the, balance of power. That nal
ance had been in unstable equilih-
rim. and had not averted war. Inc

Dodge City Today Exhibits Few EVIL
dences of Former "Toughness"
That characterized 1t.

Years ago Dodge City, Kan, was the
toughest town in the west, says the
Cleveland Press. 1t was the end OF
the old Santa Fe cattle trail winding
up from the Panhandle.
Further north was the main line OF
the Wells-Fargo stage, with spur
running south into Dodge City. Tour
lists over that spur returned east with.
hair raising tales. Being "the end of
the TRAIL" Dodge City had a floating
population. By day itA@was languid
and dead except when herd of cattle

Dodge City was ablaze with lights, it's
gambling dens and bar rooms running
full blast.
Famous Bat Masterson was sheriff.
His brother, Ed, was marshal of Dodge
City. They had their hands full, for It
| was western boast that an indiscreet
person would last. about as long in
| Dodge City as pint of, whisky at q

%The toughest town was the mead

fastest man with his two guns in>'the

Dewey and lasts three days. Various
western sports are pulled off. Smith
was bulldogging steers and had made
several good records. He had injured
his leg on Sunday by the horse which
he was riding jumping against another
horse mashing his leg between the two
saddles. His leg was in bad condition
on Monday and his friends tried to dis
suade him from taking part but Smith
was anxious to participate and took
his place in the arena. He bulldogged
his first steer in 40 seconds. On the
next steer, rs he threw himself from
the horse his hand slipped from the
steers horn throwing him to the
ground. Smith lay quiet with his face
to the ground with the evident ex
pectatIon that the steer would run by
him but instead the infuriated animal
attacked him, goring him in the back
and tossing him several feet in the
air. Smith alighted on his back and
managed To keep the steer off with his
feet until assistance arrived. He was
placed in the ambulance and hurried
to place where proper medical at
tention could BE- given him and il was
thought 1T first that ne would recover
but the tossing and goring had been
too severe and he only lived about an
hour after the accident. Smith was
using but one hazer at the time of the
accident instead Of two as is the com
mon practice. Cliff King. of Garden
City, Kansas, was hazing for him.

WASHINGTON NOTES
Hardy's Expose

The recent action of certain so call
ed outlaw strikers in endeayOring to
tie up railroad transportation in Balti-
more and other large cities. serves to
recall the recent address in Congress
in which Representative Guy U. Hardy
of Colorado laid before the House doc
uments which set forth the declared
policies OF the communistic. |. W. w.
radicals who acknowledge the leader
ship of such men as Thomas J. Mooney
Of San Francisco in whose behalf the
Wilson Administration has manifest
ed so much interest Quoting from the
International Socialist Review, peri
odicai which is consistently interna-
tionalist in its policies, Mr.. Hardy e1-
posed the plans OF the /. W W. el.-
ment for the overthrow Of the present
economic system That quotation was
in part as follows:
"If We 20 on strike We must strike
quickly. suddenly, and certainly. Don't
give the boss time to think or prepare
plans. Strike when he has a big or
der which he must fulfill. Tie up the
Industries in town, all the industries
in all the towns, in the whole coun
try, or in the whole world if necessary.
The strike will end quicker and we
will starve less. and that's good for
US, and therefore moral. Don't strike
for more than you have a right to
demand. You have right to demand
all you have power to enforce"
The disasterous results that would
follow the success Of the communistic
movement were impressively present
ed by Mr.. Hardy in that portion Of
his address in which he showed the
vital interest of every man Of indus
try and thrift in the preservation Of
the rights of property. He said:
"out in the country where the ques
tions of capital and labor are dis
cussed the term capitalist is wrongly
construed as meaning some imaginary
Individual who has accumulated or in
herited millions or billions of dollars.
