When Louis XVI, after q days

Just what this y In Italy the
world VIII not know for while.
1t is certainly important, and con-
centrates attention on an article
by Blasoo Ibanes, the Spanish au-
thor, published in the Hearst news
papers yesterday. Ibanez says
that a fifth horseman Is riding in
the world, a red horseman from
Russia. Wherever he goes he
finds followers. He recognizes no
nations, only social class.
Ibanez's denunciation OF the
stupidity that tried to destroy
the power OF the Russian move
ment by pretending to ignore 1t,
and refusing to deal with IT,
should be read by the so-calied
Statesmen" of this country.
OF all the worlds nations the
United States has been champion
goose In it's dealings with Russia.
First 1t sent q corporation lawyer
to make everything sweet and
pretty with a present OF three
hundred million dollars, which
never got anywhere near Russia.
Then this country said to Russia,
1--WE won't have anything to do
with you, you are very rude peo-
ple," and thus the matter rests,
the United States, like an ostrich
with it's head in the, sand, refusing
to see the most important political
force on earth and the most
dangerous.
Young Mrs. Astor and her
friends, giving prizes to children
with the best teeth instead Of Civ
ing prizes for general prettiness,
have started something worth
while. The usual plan has given
the prize to the fattest baby with
the incest looking ribbons in its
hair, and often with The express
sion containing the utmost vacuity.
Prizes for good teeth. the tools
that make the blood that feeds the
brain, thus interesting parents In
the teeth Of their children, Is an
intelligent innovation. Later,
probably. prizes will be given for
psychological tests to show how
the brain and nerves Of the child
work together and, possibly, later
still, other prizes for general SYM
metry and balance of the skull.
An army of $4,000 now in Ire
land, ready to prove that 'the
right of self-determination" does
not apply to little countries when
England doesn't care to have 1t
apply, shows that war did not ex-
actly end with the Treaty of ver-
sailles. There are still twenty
FIVE. to thirty wars progressing
nicely on the earth's surface. Any
one of them in former times
would have covered the front
pages of newspapers in days when
we had not learned to take wa

Senator Harding describes the
Monroe doctrine we'll in few
words: SThe Monroe doctrine Is
not an international engagement,
nor q treaty of arbitration, nor

ing improper pressure upon the
helpless republics Of the Western
Hemisphere"
Under the Monroe doctrine, as
things stand now, this country
decides what shall be done on this
continent. With the League of Ma
tions in force, foreign council
would decide questions affecting
the American continent as well as
the continents of Europe, Asia,
and Africa. If the League of Ma
tions were really understood, by
Americans, there would not be,
outside of international banking
circles, one hundred thousand
votes for the League in the whole
United States.
The wool Of the American bison,
surviving in the national parks, is
no longer to go to waste. 1t will
be clipped, the bisons permitting.
and made into clothing for the
park rangers.
In national parks, laws protect
bisons, deer, and other animals
from their enemies, the wolves and
men. There would he no lack
of wool, no lack Of meat, if the
Government all over the country
would protect sheep from their
enemies, the dogs. In one State
sheep farming is given up almost
entirely in order that foolish in
dividuals may have the pleasure
of owning four hundred thousand
dogs, useless except to flatter their
masters by pretending to think
