NEW RESERVATION
TOO DRASTIC, SAYS
SENATOR HITCHCOCK
Democratic Treaty Leader
Refuses to Accept Latest
Compromise Offering Of
Mild Republican Group

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Indica-
.tions of the difficulties that must
be overcome before the senate can
reach compromise on Article 10 OF
the League of Nations covenant were
seen today in rejection by Senator
Hitchcock of widely heralded
compromise" submitted by mild res
ervationists.
Senator Hitchcock declared that its
acceptance by Democrats would in
volve an even more abject surrender
than acceptance of the original
Lodge reservation.
The proposed compromise nodifi-
cation of the Lodge reservation
which Senator Lodge was declared W
mild reservationists to have accept
ed, provides that 1.-The United States
assumes no obligation to preserve, by
the use of it's military or naval
forces, or by the economic boycott,
or by any other means, the territorial
integrity and political independence
of any other nation" >,.
It differs from the original Lodge
reservation in the addition of the
words "by the use of its military
or naval forces, by the economic boy
colt or by any other means" In
the opinion of many senators 1t is a
great deal more drastic and unbend-
ing than the original Lodge reserva-
ton.
"That proposal would rob us of
every weapon we could use under
Article TO-" said Senator Hitchcock.
He said it could not be considered
for a minute.
The mild reservationists said that
in spite Of Senator Hitchcock's at
titude, they had assurances Of Dem
ocratic votes. 49, ..,aees
But 1t was considered doubtful
that enough Democrats, would sup
port 1t to insure Its acceptance, ;n-
asmuch as 1t is conceded the much
milder Lodge reservation could not
command the necessary Democratic
support.
Many substitutes will be offered
before we get one that will prove
acceptable" Senator Hitchcock pre-
dicted. Senator Hitchcock is about
the most pessimistic man in the SEN
ate about ratification. Practically ali
the other leaders speak confidently
but Senator Hitchcock, when asked
as to his view of the prospects, re-
piled: II don't know"
The senate adjourned today as a
mark of respect to the memory of
Abraham Lincoln. Adjournment fol-
lowed reading of Lincoln s. Gettysburg
address by. Senator Reyes, of New
Hampshire. who read from original
manuscript in Lincoln's writing.

EXPECT RAILROAD
MEASURE TO BE
LAW BY MARCH

|
Associated Press.)-While some OPP
position to the railroau bill as final
ly agreed upon in conference has de-
veloped, senate and house leaders
| predicted today the conference re-
port on the measure would be
promptly adopted so that the legisla-
ton would be on the statute books
before the roads are returned to pr!-
vate control March 1.
The final draft of the conference
| report Is now being made and it will
be presented to the senate Saturday
or Monday. The house expects to
take the report up Monday or Tues
day at the latest and leaders said to-
day it would be disposed Of in two
days. r.
Chairman Esch, Of the house inter-
state commerce committee, one of
the authors Of the railroad bill, and
other leaders expressed confidence
that opposition by house Democrats
would not delay passage of the meas
ure. They based their prediction up
on the fact that the bill, as rewritten
in conference, is substantially the
same as the Esch bill recently pass
i ed by the house Senate provisions
| to which there was objection, includ-
| ing the anti-strike section, creation
of a., transportation board and COM
pulsory, consultations were stricken
| out in conference. The essential adj
dition to the house bill was the fix
| ing of a guaranteed return of IL
per cent. ~"
with the time already fixed by
President Wilson for return of the
roads and the widespread demand
from the people that they be handed
back" Chairman Esch said today,
failure to enact necessary legisla-
ton before March 1 would be dis
astrous. am satisfied, however,
| the. house will adopt the conference
report without delay"
| Chairman Cummins Of the senate
| interstate commerce committee and
one Of the trainers Of the bill, said
| there was no doubt of the acceptance
Of the conference report by the sdl-
ate.
There is no opposition to the bill
in the senate other than which was
expressed when the bill originally
was up for consideration" he said.
| AS far as the house Is concerned,
however, have made no effort to
ascertain what its fate there will
be-" IS
Senator Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio,
one Of the senate conferees, said he
was very confident the conference
report would be approved" ...,.
| While I have not undertaken any
canvass Of the house." said Senator
Robinson, Democrat, Arkansas, an
other conferee, "I am sure it will
| pass that body and I am sure a, large
number Of Democrats will vote for
the report"
An equally optimistic view was ex-
pressed by Senator Lodge, the Re
publican leader. .. |t..E.
1T most certainly will pass the
senate and feel sure it will also
pass the house." he said, referring
to the conference report.
Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah.
said reports that congress would not
finally approve the bill as modified
by the conferees were only part of
the propaganda that has been circu-

Senator Harris Moves
ToP Protect Interests Of
Georgia Hog Raisers
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
by THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, D. C., eb. 49,
Senator Harris, on Wednesday, asked
the secretary of agriculture to pre-
pare bulletins covering the depart
ment's recommendations regarding
the feeding Of hogs so that there
may be additional light thrown on
causes of the lower prices paid
southern hog raisers as compared
with those of other sections. A re-
cent report of the federal trade COM
mission showed that hog raisers in
the south are paid from to cents
per pound less for their meat be-
cause Of the alleged soft and oily"
quality resulting from the feeding
of peanuts.
Senator Harris said that he dill
not admit that the lower price in
the south is due to this. He de-
clared he had information that an
/ Illinois business man is buying ,Geor-
gia hogs at the cheaper pcice an3
then reselling them in Chicago at
the higher western prices. If the
quality of the Georgia hog is poorer,
the senator argues, this would not be
possible. sf .
Secretary Meredith, of the depart
ment of agriculture, has agreed to
lay all available information >ccv-
ering hog raising before The a..r'h-
ern farmers. ..-

out by others who are in a position

UnenViable NOtoIiety.

Escamb!a county is getting a good
deal of unenviable notoriety, because
of the reactionary tendency of some
politicians and farmers in this sec
tion of the state in relation towards
cattle dipping. The Tampa Times
says:
The reactionaries, like the poor,
are always with us. They stand firm
ly opposed to every step o. human
progress, they mourn for the good
old days" when government took no
further interest in the people it gov
ernec, EXCEPT to see that they paid a
modicum of taxes with regularity.
Further than that it took very little
interest in their welfare. They
might live or die, survive or perish,
educate their children or let them
grow up in ignorance, ride over good
roads or wallow through seas of sand
as they preferred. Anything to keep
taxes down.
But times have changed The peo-
pie have seen the advantages of good
roads, the necessity of educating
their children, and they have been
willing TO pay the price. But the re-
dictionary never changes. AS he was
half q century ago, he is today, op-
posing every move of modern pro-
gress. He opposed good roads, tick
eradication, and even prohibition and
now he is asking the supreme court
to declare the law creating the Live
Stock Sanitary Board unconstitution-
al, SO that the board may be put out
of existence. and its good work for
the state stopped altogether. We do
not know what view the court may
take of this question; there may be
found some technicality that will JUS
tify declaring it unconstitutional, but
If there is, we venture the prediction
that the next meeting, of the legicla-
ture will be called upon to lectify the
error and pass a live stock law that
shall be. unassessable.

Politics As A Snort,

American politics is one thing that
Americans are not accused of copy
ing from Europe, Like the game of
baseball our politics is indigenous to
our soil, We do politics in our own
way. Our booms, our roorbacks, our
dark horses, our lame ducks, run to
form that originated in our own
country. In zest and atmosphere our
politics is thing apart, in much the
same sense that jazz music is, and no
other country would think of claim
ing il.
A National sport is our politics.
We take it with our coffee to begin
the day and again take it with what
ever fluid serves as a nightcap in
these times of drought.
Horse racing, baseball poker,
craps-nOnc of these employments,
recreation or vices has more of the
tricky element of chance than has
politics. Further, the pageantry of
brass bands and parades, and the
songs, slogans and gesticulations Of
perspirlng throngs have their peCul-
lar destinations.
There are people who are kept
alive only by politice. rake away
this particular sport and you take
much away from the average emo
tional citizen.
Do not take it away from him.
therefore. Rather, broaden and
deepen his interest in politics. Make
it for him not only a sport but an op-
portunity for patriotic service as well.
The coming six months period es-
pecially requires from all of us the
pursuit of politics as an act of pa
triotism,. not just as a sporting prop
osition. - Chicago News.
