Mystery Added.

The element Of mystery is thrown
into the campaign to have Governor
Clement call for a special session OF
the legislature for the consideration of
the Anthony equal suffrage amendment
to the federal constitution. Mrs. Lii
Ian Olzendam. who has been on the
governors trail for a long time, has
announced that the case is not hope
less; that Governor Clement says that
he will call a session if one condition
is complied with And there's the nub
Of the mystery. The governor doesn't
say publicly what the condition IS.
Mrs. Olzendam is not divulging it to
the public but promises statement
within a few days One gathers that
the condition is difficult but not abso-
lutely impossible. Mrs. olEendam
warns the workers for suffrage to get
ready for good hard work. She is de-
termined to meet the condition If pos

a strange situation. What there Is in
a public proposition that has to be
kept secret is hard to understand and

Five continue to catch fish, but work

Fewer fish go into the community

But the same number Of men insist
upon having the same amount of fish
to eat as they had before.
The fifty men who formerly cleaned
and cooked the fish have less TO do
owing to the undersupply of fish. But
they continue to demand food.
Gradually greater burdens are laid
unon the fruit and vegetable hunters.
These insist upon a larger share OF fish
in return for their larger efforts in
gathering fruit and vegetables. 1t is
denied them and soon 20 Of the p quit

A little later they reached the bunga-
low, and there they found that Uncle
Wiggily and Nurse Jane had every
thing in readiness. The sugar, milk and
cream were mixed and put inside the
freezer. Then the freezer can was set
in the wooden tub and ice and salt
packed around it.
Now, you puppy dogs can take turns
with the crank" said Uncle Wiggily,
md Peetie and Jackie were very glad
to do this. They turned and turned
until the crank became so stiff it would
hardly go around any more, and Nurse
Jane said:

freezer and turn it to make it nice

to have some cream and then I'll nibble
some rabbit ear souse. Wow Now for

"Oh, WOW! Wouch" howled the

afraid Of the bad creature, who couldn't

with frozen cream and took 1t in the

The Democratic party has redeemed
itself, and there is not the same fit

key that appeared a short time ago to
be undisputed and permanent,
If the allies and America were in the
same accord that they found them
selves in on armistice day, they might
enthusiastically get together In the
interests of peace on earth, good viii
toward men, and draw up league Of
nations with the minimum Of reserva-
tions allowing them their necessary in
dividual freedom Of action.
But America and the allies fell out
almost before they met over the peace

the international situation among the
petty states and the newly created
states had gotten clear out OF hand.
The whole OF Eastern Europe had
been Balkanized. The conspicuous fail
ure OF the greater powers OF Europe

In such manner that they would stay
settled was repeated here on bigger
scale than ever There were wars as
well as rumors Of wars. and no two Of
the allies thought alike as to the pol
icics or even the alignments to be ia
vored.
The more the allies quarreled among
themselves. and In particular the more
they disregarded the spirit which this
country proposed TO introduce into for
eign settlements, the more necessary It
was that We should qualify our accept
ance of the league with safeguarding
reservations, No man can afford to
make himself a partner with unlimited
liability In a firm with whose members
he is not in complete accord.
With a second great war looming
ahead as the result of the bad faith of
Poland and the encroachments Of Boil
shevism, reservations are away above

country today
This is the consideration that pro-
vokes MIR. Roosevelt's interview and
that moves the Democratic party lead
ers to commit themselves on the side of
safe and sane Americanism.
The Polish calamity is not OF our
making. Poland disregarded our
wishes In the pride of her militarsm,

her to do so. 1t would be little too
