Democratic Strategy to Drive Wedge
Between Republicans Who Fauor And
Those Who Oppose League ofNations

80 FAR as he knew no actual stenogra-
pnic transcript Of his speech was in
existence, he had in mind undoubteG-
~ the fact that what Lieutenant Man
toux said was taken down by French
stenographers and possibly transl ated
INTO INTO English. The copy which Senator
spencer saw was obtained from
French sources and the existence of
an American version was unknown
unul Fred Carlson Of Chicago, an
american stenographer, told that he
.lau taken the proceedings in short
nand and was forwarding copy to
the White House.
Inc discrepancy appears to be be-
tween specific promise of Ameri-
can military aid to Roumania and the
sending OF fleet to Europe as re-
ported by Senator Spencer and a
general promise that If the world
should be troubled again as it was In
isl1 and American rights were. vio-
lated the United States would, not
hesitate to send feet and an army
TO Europe once more to save civiliza-
ton This is practically the same
thAng as Senator Knox included in
ms famous paragraph five in the res
olutDon he wrote as a substitute for
the League OF Nations. But the issu-
ance OF the documents SHOWING how
President Wilson was in frequent ca
ole communication with former
President Taft during the peace con-
ference is plainly intended by the
democrats and by the president him.
SELF as q refUtation of tho oft re-
peated charge that he never consult
ed anybody or that he wanted the
pact ratified without the crossing OF
q it, or the dotting Of an ''i'' exact
~ as he wrote It.
Many Hoover Letters.
The White House has plenty of let
ters from Herbert Hoover, too, which
II published may place him in an
embarrassing position before the
country. The fact of the matter is
that while the democratic strategy
may not cause republicans to depart
from Harding in sufficient numbers to
be decisive the democrats have begun
even II they lose the present campaign
they will be in better shape in 1929
and 1924 in the congressional and
presidential elections respectively.
There are democrats who believe for
instance that the question of how
much OF q part America shall take in
European affairs will continue to be
an issue for the next five years or per-
hapS longer-so long, indeed. as Eu-
rope owes America ten billions of dol
lars and so long as the reduction Of
taxes in America depends upon how
much payment can be expected from a
stabilized and peaceful Europe. The
president is going out Of office but he
has begun in the last week a fight be-
fore the jury of American public opin-
ion not merely for vindication on cleo
tion day but after that as long as he
is able to speak or write the views
that are closest to his heart. His pres
ent effort is to draw to his side re-
publicans who favor the league. He
may not expect them to vote for Cox
bot he Is trying to prevent them from
helping Harding. That's the democrat
70 strategy. .s. i. /, 81.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY

When first America uprose
And flung defiance at her foes,
No laggards were the Irish then
In purse or purpose, means or men
Nor slow to join the battle they
Their weapons flashed in every fray
And everywhere her banner blew
They closed around it staunch and true
And wheresoe'er her veins outpoured
Their life-stream for the cause adored
COmmingled in that sacred flood
Was Ireland's best and noblest blood.
And ever since In all our wars.
Wherever CLEANED the Stripes and Stars,
The loyal Irish. heart and hand,
Have fought for this beloved land.
So. in the springtime of the year
When Patrick's Day again is here,
'Tis not alone on Irish breasts
The spray of Ireland's shamrock rests.
It's not alone in Irish eyes
The tears for Ireland's Sorrows rise,a
'Tis not alone from Irish lips.
The winning word of Ireland slips.
All no. Our great Republics heart
Reveals today its tend'rer part.
AS. smiling In her state serene.
She wears touch of Irelands green.

Anna Laura Barnett, young wife of
Jackson Barnett, 70-year-o1d Indian
millionaire of Henryetta, Okla. today
pleaded with the state supreme court
for an opportunity to let her professed
love for her aged husband run its
true course and brook no alleged un-
lawful interference on the part of
Carl ]. O'Harnett Barnett's guardian.
and Cato Sells, Gabe E. Parker and
James C. Davis. government agents.
The young wife in an answer and
cross petition filed today in the SD
prsr1e court charges a conspiracy on
the part of the three government
agents and O'Harnett, the guardian. In
using undue influence in an attempt
10 ALLEVIATE the affections of her three
score and seven year old husband. In
her petition she demands a restrain
ing order be granted, making further
alleged efforts by the quartet named
to ALLEVIATE her husbands affections
and 9Th die hiE. immense i~eaiEit al

Mrs. Barnett speaks of O'Harhett's
guardianship of her husband as ne
farious subjection." She backs the al
legation by pointing to the fact that,
while he can buy cigars and light
them with So bills and still have other
money to burn, the guardian kept her
husband living for years in a home
that many poor people would shun

Continuing in the lengthy petition
the young wife speaks of alleged at
tempts to gain control of he husbands
millions and give it away ostensibly to
charity.
Mrs. Barnett expresses a willingness
. in her petition to give her husband
his proper financial statement and re-
iterates her demand that an alleged
conspiracy to control his property and
turn her love to hate" be broken uI
thru a restraining order making the
guardian keep away from the aged
millionaire and bridegroom.

But Rats Is Rats Is Title of E. E. Braymans Troubles
Two Rodents Arrive, But Now There Are
Seven-Owner Missing.

suicide has never been plank in the
platform of the Rat family.
In the full glory of the first blush
of spring, a few. days ago Mrs. Rat
gave birth to five perfectly healthy
baby rats-assorted varieties.
Brayman was appalled,. Seeking
vainly for some avenue of escape from
the overwhelming multiplication of the
Rat family, he has lost much time in
feeding and watching over the off
springs of Mr.. and Mrs. Rat. 1mpoS-
tsibiiity of turning the express office
into ''rattery' and the equal impos-
sibility of securing the address of the
lady who now owns five more rats
than she ordered, will probably force
Brayman to try and sell the whole Rat
family to some youngster who desires
to go into the business of rat produc-
ton on a large scale. or even to give
them away. Kindness of heart has
prevented the execution of the poor
Rat family. rats without a country
as 1t were.
Rats are not the only grief of the
express company Today the back end
of the express office looked like a sec
ton in a pet stock show. There were
several cases OF Belgian hares. Rab-
bits are being shipped to Topeka fam
ciers, while others are being sent from
Topeka 10 purchasers in other towns.
Incubator chickens also are moving
in large quantities at present, Bray-
man says. Almost every day chicken
raisers come in to see II their pet
"chick" has arrived.
