Sees LITTLE HOPE
FOR TREATY In U. S.
FRENCH WRITER SAYS STAND
OF AMERICA IN MATTER is
ENTIRELY JUST.

PARIS.-That the United States
will never ratify the treaty of Yer
sailles, because to do so now would
be to pledge the power and resources
of the United States to maintain the
world supremacy which it is declared
England has gained in the past year
of post war negotiations, is a state
ment published by the Matini in an
article by Henry F. Bouillion. Bouil-
lion says that France might as well
face the truth that the league of ma
tions covenant will not be ratified in
Washington. He heads his article,
How France Has Been Deceived"
What is the reason for the hostil-
ity of the United States against the
treaty." asked Bouillion. at is easy
to discover the whole fight has been
directed against the covenant of the
league of nations and against Article
X, by which the signatories guaran-
tee the frontiers and spheres of in
fluence such as result from allied ac-
cord.
However, negotiations since the
armistice have resulted in establish
ing English supremacy throughout
the world. The United States re-
fuses to approve this result, and very
rightly to engage itself to defend it
in the future.
"There is no criticism of the Eng
fish in this declaration. They have
known how to defend their interests,
and we would be glad if the same
could be said of US.
at is against this that American
public opinion stands out. 1t does
not wish now to ratify that which it
did not prevent. Without the least
hostility against us America intends
simply to reserve her liberty and
guard her future

WOMAN APPOINTED;
JOB is ABOLISHED
ELABORATE ROOMS FITTED UP,
SUPREME COURT DECLARES
LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

WASHINGTON. - S ONE funny
stories have been going the rounds
here recently concerning public men
and women. There used to be a time
when it was only proper to discuss
public men in the public prints, but
not so now. With the advent of the
suffrage question and all that 1t has
brought us, writers on present day
affairs would be much behind the
times were they to confne themselves
entirely to the doings of mere men.
SO here goes for a good woman
story. Recently congress passed a
law for the creation of rent COM
mission for the District of Columbia,
it's ostensible purpose being to shake
the merciless profteering landlord off
from his i'll gotten gains. So the bill
was passed and the members of the
commission appointed. Court rooms
of gigantic proportions were magnifi-
Gently fitted up and for about six
weeks everything had been going on
like clockwork.
Woman Appointed.
However, about two weeks ago one
of the commissioner resigned and the
president promptly named in his
place a we'll known woman of this
city. In time she was confirmed by
the senate, but because of the big
output of red tape in Washington it
was expected that her commission
would be delayed a few days. She
went to the commissions court to see
how the thing worked, not being able
to participate because of the lack
of the aforesaid commission, and
while there deeply engrossed in the
work of getting at the bottom of the
rent hogs plans word came that the
courts of the district had declared
the law unconstitutional. Usual rea-
son-seizure of private property
without due process of law. This was
enough and plenty. Before she
could take her job it had legally been
wiped out of existence.

THE TOWN OF HATE"
is OFFICIALLY DEAD
Postoffice Department Has Closed
Office, and Railroad Trains Will
Be Discontinued.

WATONGA, Okla.-Hate killed
Ferguson, Blaine county, Oklahoma.
Fifteen years ago town of 1000
people, having large salt factory,
a gypsum plant, and shipping facili-
ties Ferguson today is dead By
order of the postoffice department
the office has been closed and soon
the railroad will be discontinued,
with trains running only to Hitch
cock.
Ferguson is said to have died fight
ing as it had lived. People were
supposed to have hated each other,
and main street fights were COM
mon. West of town, alleged out
laws "Yeager" and "Black'' had their
rendezvous, from where in early
morning they are said to have stolen
horses and cattle of farmers and cit
liens, and then sought safety among
the canyons and hills.
The Cyclone saloon still flares out
its sign, but its proprietor has set up
business in another city. The build
ing is used as a barn, the Cyclone
was the scene of many brawls.
The song oklahoma" was written
at Ferguson. Mrs. Guy Camden, the
author, frequented the city and the
mountainous vicinity. Other poets
and composers once lived in Fergu-
son.
Inhabitants claim that there never
was a good thing done for Ferguson,
alleging that strife, hatred and OPP
position led to its downfall. Fergu-
son never had da church, nor talk
of church. The only school house
in its histohy would not seat more
than twenty-five children.
Wrongs were not punished, it is
said, and people were permitted to
run rampant.
The town of hate is dead.

Fed Up on Danes.
But the manager was a fox, as
above intimated. So much of the fox
that he did not say word about Mrs.
Vamp. He quietly SWITCHED the sui

steered the detectives out of the room
as quickly and smoothly as he could.
He knew that he couldn't stop them
from announcing the discovery of Mr..
Fresh's coat on the river bridge, but
he wasn't going to let them put
woman in the story. He was fed up
on the mezzanine DANES always max
ing scandal and getting his hotel in
volved in the newspapers.
So the story went no further than
a commonplace item concerning a
stranger from Chicago whose coat
had been found on the bridge at Boil

rious Mrs. Vamp' was unable to an
nounce at the psychological moment
of the sensation that it had found the
lady who called Mr.. Fresh and would

price.
The luckless Mr. Fresh expended
his money from Chicago to Atlanta
and back again and missed his play
