LEARNING AT FIRST HAND

Manifold are the blessings of a Democracy. Every
once in a while something occurs to reinspre a
sometimes doubling, wavering faith in the destiny
of the Republic to become the beacon light of all
the world Just contemplate one of these
proposed legislative departures into the thorny ways
of duty for the sake of commonwealth with feelings
of grateful pride. Sacrifice demands all reverence
and respect Devotion to duty and unremitting labor
on the part of public representatives, properly win
just appreciation in the words: We'll done, thou
good and faithful servant"
More than 100 members of Congress plan to leave
this country during the month of July for two
months trip through the Orient, and all for the
sake of Columbia the gem of the ocean The itin-

and Japan They so fortify themselves with first

important legislative questions involving the Pacific.
At sacrifice of $125 day, and incumbered, some
of them, with wives children, secretaries and other
impedimentia, they will brave the typhoons, the
toglodytes and tragedies of the summer lands and
seas, to the end that they may bring home proper
solutions of international problems which admittedly

May power, prestige and triumph attend these
self sacrificing Argonauts. We look upon this effort
to secure essential information literally with feelings
of wonder and amaze. Already we experience fuller
hope for the future of the Nation These darers of
the deep will spend four of five days in Hawaii,
where they will learn whether that land of the uke-
lele and yamaloooo is is fit for statehood,
and maybe, the virtue of its swimmin' holes
In ten days they will absorb all there is know
concerning the Philippines and the aspirations claims

Mercy
sheS 9Hn7oW OMIT

You'll never get a married woman
to believe that what she don't know
won't hurt her.
Why is it that man cant have
a good time unless he is being separ-
ated from his money?
Many a man would save a whole
lot of alimony if he was as sweet
to his own wife as he is to other
mems wives.
The men who haven't been found
out yet take great delight in knock
ing the poor devil who has been
found out
No woman was ever so absent
minded that she forgot to nag her
husband when he got home late.
Sparrows and Dandelions are in
a class by themselves. The moro
you discourage them the more you en-
courage them.
There is no use of husband lying
to his wife when she gets back from
a trip out of town. She'll get all
the facts from the neighbors.
If some would remember the ans
wers to half the questions they ask
they would have a mighty good edu-
cation.

MAY HE COME BACK

There is a general hope in Alaska that Capt.
John Zug Just retired from the United States Army,
and the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners, who
leaves shortly for Washington City and other sec
lions of the East, return to Alaska. Capt. Zug
has been resident this Territory for many years
and in quiet transformations manner, he has gone
about doing good He has devoted years to the work
of road building hcre-a work than which nothing
is of worth in this land where much depends
upon means of transportation and communication.
Wherever Capt Zug's duties may call him, Alas
kans will wish him well. and they will continue to
hope that his fate may be to return to Alaska and
live and work with us again.

AT FOREIGN OFFICE
IN PARIS.
PEACEFUL RELATIONS BETWEEN
Us. GERMANY AND EUROPEAN 81
NATIONS RESUMED.

The treaty Of Versailles, making peace
between Germany and the ratifying
Allied powers was put into effect at
4:15 P. M, Saturday, by the exchange
of notifications.
The protocol was signed by Ger
many's representative preliminary to
the ceremony of exchanging ratifcations
putting the treaty into effect.
Baron Kurt Won Lersner, the head
Of the German mission, affixed his
signature to the protocol at 400 P. M.
The entire ceremony, which took
place in the Clock hall at the French
foreign ministry, was completed at
4:16 P. M.
Reparation Provided.
The protocol Of November l., pro-
vides for reparation for the sinking
Of the German warships at Scapa Flow
and insures the carrying out of the
armistice terms. The signing Of this
document took place in the Office of the
minister Of foreign affairs.
After the exchange of notifications
Premier Clemenceau handed to Baron
Won Lersner the following letter:
"Now that the protocol provided fol
by the note Of November has been
signed by qualified representatives Of
the German government and in con
sequence the notifications Of the Treaty
Of Versailles have been deposited, the
Allied and associated powers wish to
renew to the German government their
assurance, that while necessary repara-
tions for the sinking of the German
feet in Scapa Flow will be zexacted,
they do not intend to injure the vital
economic interests Of Germany. On
this point, by this letter, they confirm
the declarations which the general sec
rotary Of the peace conference was
charged with making orally to the presi-
dent Of the German delegation on De
cember %. s
The absence Of American represen-
tatives was particularly remarked. Up
to the last hour Hugh G. Wallace, the
American ambassador, was in doubt as
to whether he would receive instructions
to attend the ceremony. Finally hear
ing nothing from Washing ton, he returned
to the secretary Of the peace conference
the invitations that had been sent him.
Action Establishes Peace.

and the great number Of the nations
