THE INCONSISTENCY OF MAN

Under the title of THE Cruelty Of
the Tender Hearted" the Muskogee
Phoenix editorializes upon the man
ner in which the people of the nation
will weep over minor cruelties of in
dividuals, yet send its sons to war,
there to slay or be slain.
Drawing the lines TO smaller
circumference, thereby taking in the
so-called tender hearted as individuals,
We must admit that those who are
more prone to weep over the cruel
ties Of individuals and TO choke up
and shake with emotion when the
villain on the screen grabs the heroine
and buries his knife to the handle
in the back of the prosecuted hero,
are the very chaps who 90 home
and raise billy hell with their own
wives and babies.
The cruelty of the tender hearted
might, We think. more properly be
styled the "cruelties Of the emotional"

verified by statisticians, it is the

eradicate them-have attacked and
put To flight large cat family. 1t

Leviathan, formerly the German liner

Since the Leviathan has been tied
up at Hoboken pier, her rodent
population has multiplied into legions.
Fumigation was found impracticable
and starvation tactics We're employed
several weeks ago. no particle OF food
being permitted aboard.
After the feline army was gone,
the rats attacked the ships furnish
ings, luxurious leather cushions, pan
els and other fittings being gnawed
beyond repair.
Quarantine officers say. however,
that the end is in sight. In their bat
tie for life, they declared. the rodents
would destroy one another.

tears of pity over emotional para
graphs in novels, over the sensational
stories in newspapers, over scenes
of the prosecutions of the innocents
and the victories OF the unjust upon
the pictured screen or the mimic

drama: that it is the emotional men

and that it is the emotionalists-men

in private life which they condemn

AL THOR Of THE LETTER
SEEKING CHAN CT IN THE
LEA CUE OF NATIONS
is A F Rem CHI " WOM A n

Chicago, oct 2l.-The letters from
France received by Senator Joseph
I. France of Maryland. proposing a
change in the organization of the
present league of nations from
woman and not a man, the senator
said today. The proposal dealt chiefly
with desirability of calling IAN inter-
national convention of friends of
peace" he said
Senator France, however, said the
offer was very much the same as
that made to Senator Harding and
that although the writer said she
believed she was expressing the views
of the French people. the senator said
the government Of France was in no
way connected with the affair"
There was nothing official about
/ it," Senator France declared refer
ring to the overtures made him on
the probability of America joining
with France and other countries in
making an association of nations to
prevent war
"A distinguished woman writer OF
| France made the offer to me-" he
said. "She is member of an or
ganzation which is working quietly
among the thinkers of her nation
in order to form body in connection
with the United States, which will
give subject nations definite chance
1 for self government as soon as they
1 have proved themselves capable of it.
"It does not seem to be generally
known in this country that the labor
party Of Great Britain and the work
ers of France are strongly opposed
to the league of nations as at present
constituted. Similar bodies in other
European nations endeavored to have
inserted clause in the Versailles
treaty which would give subject ma
tions a position in relation to the
great power to which it belonged
analogous to that existing between
the Philippine Islands and the United
States.
THE imperiaistic officials who
formed the great council that drew
up the league of nations refused TO
permit the change in that clause. It's
proponents of those days are now
working quietly to secure new
league. l have had letters from the
Lawyers Association of Calcutta,
many persons in Ireland and other
centers of subject nations indicating
that the movement is growing for a
new covenant that will really govern
the world"
Senator France said that he did
not have copies Of the letter with
him that when he returned to Mary
land he would give them out for pub
lication. He said he did not wish to
make the name known of the woman
writer as it fight make trouble for
her with her own government.

United States Senator Harding. who

STATE HAS TWO
J. BlGMYSTERlES
Working Of State Bank and
Work1nen's Bureau is Puz-
zle to Public.

Bismarck, N. D., May 1.-Two Of
the greatest mysteries in the state of
North Dakota are the inner workings
Of the Bank of North Dakota and the
1*orkmen's Compensation bureau.
Neither one Of these state owned
institutions has any direct supervision
by elected state officials. such as the
state auditor, and ever since their or
ganization last year their operations
have, been shrouded in mystery.
Recent decisions of the state SUI
preme court have prevented any re-
spopsible check of the financial con-
dition of either of these two undertake
ings. Carl Kositzky, state auditor.
once attempted to examine the books
after Kositzky had pried into the
banks secrets for a day or two, he
was kept out Of the institution by
court order.
Mystery Reigns.
When the bank and the bureau
were in need of funds to pay their
employees when they first commenced
operations, they received their pay
rolls in the customary manner
treasurer's Offices. This regularity
ceased in the banks case on Novem-
Der 20, 1918. and in the case of the
bureau on October 81, 1919. Since
that time the responsible state Of
icials are utterly in the dark as to
expenditures or receipts by either of
these two state departments.
It iss regarded as a certainty that
through the influence Of s.. S. Nc
Donald. surviving member Of the
workmen's compensation commission,
and F. w. Cathro. director general
and manager bf the Bank of North
Dakota, that/the employees of those
state activities are among the best
paid in the capital. The expense ac-
counts of these two institutions, it is
believed, would stagger the farmers
who have to foot the bills. .
