port in Use on Lakes.

Washington, June 1s.-Use of govern
ment owned transports on the great
lakes as grain carriers to relieve the
car shortage and increase grain trans
portation was suggested TO the inter-

Clifford Thorne. of Chicago, represent
ing the National Farmers and Grain
Dealers association.
Discussing the proposed freight rate

rate increase on grain within the
bounds of traffic as a whole, because
the ultimate burden must be borne by
the consumer.

restoration of rate relationships on live
stock and live stock products which.

recent biography Of one Of the early
justices Of the supreme court. In

PAID FOR his FUN
Prank Of Baby Elephant Brought
Retribution.
Her Patience Exhausted, Mother Ad.
ministered a Spanking That
Brought Tears In Bueketfuls
From Her Offspring.

In a recent exchange It Is stated
that elephants are amazingly like hu.
man beings In the way they discipline
their young. The following amusing
Incident was seen by a traveller In an
extensive lumber yard in Burma.
While the adult elephants were faith.
fully at work the youngsters played
about the yard. The elephant that at
tracted the travellers particular atten-
ton was hauling. in her chain harness,
a huge tree trunk from the bank of
the river.
She had heavy load, a fact that
her offspring did not realize. Bent on
playing prank. he wound his
little trunk about one Of the chain
traces and pulled back with all his
strength.
Conscious Of the suddenly increased
weight, the mother looked around. She
saw the youngster and shook her head
solemnly, but paying no further heed
to his teasing. bent again to her work.
Meanwhile the little rascal, with his
mischievous trunk had loosened the
ring that fastened the traces to the
load.
While the mother was straining to
get her burden In motion again. her
rascally son pulled so sturdily that
she was quite unaware that she had
been disconnected from her load. Then
suddenly the youngster let 60. Nat
urally enough. the mother was thrown
to her knees and her driver hurled In
a wide circle from her back.
The culprit sought huge woodpile
that seemed to offer him at least a tenn
porary protection. His mother, how
ever, was soon In pursuit, and he had
to flee. Round and round the wood
pile he lodged, but his mother, with
her iron harness clanking noisily be-
hind her, kept close at his heels.
Although the little ones greater agil-
ity gained some space for him at the
corners, his mother eventually over
took him. The first blow Of her trunk
drew from him q bawl Of pain. At
the second he sank. quite humbled to
his knees; and then he endured with
out a murmur, although with many
tears, a sound thrashing. Finally the
mother let him up. With tears still
streaming and with dropping trunk he
took his disconsolate way out OF the
yard.
The little fellow had won the com
plete sympathy of the observer. Con
sequently he was overjoyed to witness
during the noon hour touching rec
onciliation. The mother did all she
could to comfort the penitent little
sinner; she caressed him with her
trunk. cuddled him up against her, and
looked at him as If to say: "YOu still
have a mother who loves you."

That Defunct Peace Treaty.

We have carefully read the daily
Congressional Record containing the
speeches and debates of our Senators on
reservations and amendments proposed
and form this conclusion. Many but not
all the Democratic members seem to be
actuated by stubborn determination to
carry out the unwise, unsafe dictation OF
Woodrow Wilson In the matter and are
willing to surrender the sovereignty and
independence of our republic to the
greed and domination of foreign powers
in order to sustain the sristocrstio ideas
of a conceited Democratic president.
Every principle Of justice and utility
Is made subservient to Wilson's un-Amer-
ican policy and political preferment.
As originally presented and without
any reservations It permitted the possi-
bility of thousands of our young men
and millions of treasure to be subject to
the domination of foreign powers II an
alliance was formed as proposed. Our
noble, brave young men could be forced
to cross the ocean and sacrifice their
lives perhaps in some petty quarrel in
which our nation had no interest and
with nothing to gain and everything to
lose.
All through that first proposed form
Of treaty and alliance the head of the
British lion, despite the csmouf1age,
stuck up and most of our Republican
and some honest Democratic Senators
could see its teeth.
Many Of Wilson's followers seemed i'm
bued with the idea that II the treaty as
proposed by him was adopted It would
be q great exaltation for him and bis
party and their sole desire was to secure
this elimination.
We favor q League of Nations pro-
vided our own government stands an
equal chance in representation and pro-
lection Of its interests with other nations.
But an alliance on the 6 to idea 10
abhorrent to our ideas of national sover-
eighty and independence and We honor
our loyal American Senator Fernald
and others who stand for American
polity and protection of the freedom and
liberty that cost US 80 much. The Peace
Treaty though rejected yet with some of
the amendments proposed might have
answered every purpose, yet 1t would
have been q much patched affair. We
think new form better.
