THE SENATE RESPONSIBLE

The action of the French miitarsts in invading Germany,
the action of Italy in Selling the Adriatc coast, the granting of a
new lease Of life to the Turks in Europe and the seizure of Vad-
Iivostok by Japan are all the direct result of the refusal of the Unit
ed States senate TO ratify the peace treaty and join the League of
Nations.
The United States is without power to check the aggressions
of the imperialists of the old world. 1t can protest, but its pro-
test is without force, for America has washed her hands of
Europe and refused to have anything to do with keeping peace in
the world or making the world safe for democracy.
1t is the refusal of Great Britain to back-up France that will
force the French imperahsts to withdraw from the cities they
have seized ON the flimsy pretense that Germany should not use
her troops to prevent anarchy in the Ruhr region and restore law
and order. The United States is in no position to protest.
The United States came out of the war, under President Will
sons leadership, with a power and prestige that no other nation
attained. The American people were the dominant political
force in the world, the moral leaders of civilization, with the OPP
portunity to mould it to their ideals. But the senate proceeded
to abandon the commanding eminence, because the president had
affronted the senate and the leadership of the world was deiber-
ately and wantony sacrificed to rebuke the president. The des-
tiny Of the world was made a partisan football in a game of pea
nut politics.
who has broken down under the burdens forced upon him, pro-
perly rebuked, but. in accomplishing it the nation has lost it's
every friend among the peoples of the world and nobody in any
foreign land now believes in the faith and sincerity of the United
States or is likely ever to trust us again. Our political, industrial
and moral leadership has been thrown away.
Left to themselves and deserted by America, with her infu-
for peace and democracy destroyed, miitarsm and imper-
ialism have revived in Europe and it is only a question of days
until they bring about another war, in which America, in spite
OF her boosted isolation, cannot help being involved-and for this
condition the people of America can thank the stupid partisanship
Of the senate as morally responsible for her decadence.
However, the American people are not responsible for this
condition. 1t was wished upon them in opposition to their ex-
pressed desires. They will have a chance by pressure of public
opinion, to restore to some extent their prestige in world affairs
by forcing the nomination of a world figure, friendly to the League
Of Nations, as president, and his subsequent election. Even the
senate will not continue to defy public opinion. if il
forces the selection Of Herbert Hoover as president.

TO do that yet. Before I speak to
Farmer Green 1 prefer to make sure
that old dog Spot is easy to ride on"
Jolly Robin looked puzzled. His
mouth fell open. And for a few mo-
ments he stared at Major Monkey
without saying a word.
When he finally spoke. it was to
ask Major Monkey how he was going
to find out what he wanted to know
about old dog Spot.
There's only way" said Major
Monkey. There's only one way; and
that's to ride him and see
jolly Robin thought what a bold
fellow Major Monkey was. He en-
tirely forgot the Majors flight from
the picnic grove. Riding a aog was
such a feat as Jolly Robin himself
would never. never attempt. And he
was sure that if Major Monkey really
undertook il there could be no doubt
Of his bravery.
How do you knOw-Jolly asked
the Major timidly-"how do you
know that old dog Spot win let you
rue MIN
Don't you worry about that!' Ma
ior Monkey cried lightly, as he a
gered along a limb Of the apple tree
where they were talking. Leave that
to me-"
And Jolly Robin thought what a
stout heart beat beneath Major Non
keys red coat, and how fine it was to
be n Of his friends.
Il should like to see you when Won
first ride old Spot" said Jolly Robin.
Delighted, I'm surei' Major Mon
key cried.
And l hope you've no objection to
my bringing my wife along, too"
Major Monkey was not so sure that
he would care to have Mrs. Robin
for an onlooker.
Women are likely TO be timid."
he remarked. They sometimes
scream at the wrong time. And if
your wife happened to cry out lust
as l was about to drop on old Spots
back he might jump. And that would
spoil everything"
Jolly Robin declared h Major
Monkey knew best.

Ripping Rhymes
BORN THAT WAY.

Some folks are born with spirits sour, their nature is to
whine; the planets, at their natal hour, were badly out of line.
They came complaining to the earth, and squawk through all their
days, and they can see no sense in mirth, they frown on joyous
Jays. They choose the grimmest sort of creed that's filled with
threats Of pain; for there is naught will fit their need, that's
pleasant. kind or sane. They are the sad and gloomy freaks who
groan with every breath, who see the bloom on maiden cheeks and
talk of worms and death. In vain the optimist may try to cheer
up gents like these; they'll answer with a dismal sigh his glad
brightest wheeze. They'll say his logic, bithe and brave
Is merely sounding brass; they'll droll a while about the grave,
and claim all flesh is grass. They make me weary and distraught
when ! with them commune; by them December chill is brought
INTO the midst of June. And, oh, ! pity such poor guys, who can
gayy laugh, who wipe the briny from their eyes, and quote
an epitaph.

The Source of Supply

Prohibition Commissioner Kramer is almost naive in his expression of suspicion that the licensed liquor dealers will bear watching We should rather think and have thought so for a long time. These dealers licensed to dispense liquor under regulations for certain specific pur- poses but evidently the regulations strictly enforced, when the country is flooded with whisky from end the other.
 When it is possible for order whisky by telephone is done in Phoenix and have it de- livered his house. it be asked where the whisky has from except from the vast stores in the bonded warehouses and how could it into the possession bootleggers who ply their trade almost openly. except through the wholesalers who licensed by the government to sell it.
 This whisky part of stock that was concealed previous to July of last year. part of it is course smuggled across the Mexican border but dependence could not be had such small and irregular source The great bulk of it from abundant and steady source of sup blythe bonded warehouses. The fancy prices of bootleg whisky naturally great temptation to the wholesalers. They could secure no such prices for liquor for any of the few legitimate pur poses that have been left by the prohibition amend ment and the vostead act The bootlegger who gets from SIP to s2o a quart for whisky must be valued patron of the interruptions licensed whole saler. Moreover the wholesalers want quicker action their stocks than they by doing legitimate uses: they do want to

 We surprised that MT. Kramer long in detecting the weak place in prohibition enforce place which would naturally suggest itself

 The licensed wholesalers should reduced smallest possible numbers Licenses should be issued only to who will probably obey the law.

LANDS GIVEN STATE
 BY CONGRESS CAN
 NOT BE HOMESTEADS

There is a widespread misunder standing in Arizona relative to the se- curing os homesteads or other auot- ment for soldiers, of the lands of the state granted to it under the enabling act There was some legislation with reference to this by the last legisla- ture, but it could become effective only upon legislation by congress which would have the effect of repeating the terms on which lands were granted to the territories of Arizona and New Mexico under the enabling act There was such legislation pending in con gress in the Lane bill, but 1t was not finally enacted.
 The lands were granted to the new states for only two purposes, for sale or for leasing. No other disposition can be made of them. New Mexico tried it and it's action was set aside and the attorney general of the United States moved to have the grant to that state forfeited
 Replying to an inquiry on this sub ject, Attorney General Jones said; "Arizona's state lands were given to the state by congress under the en- abling act admitting Arizona to state hood That act declared that all the state lands deeded or conveyed by congress under the enabling act should be leased for money consideration or sold at a minimum price, and all mon
  into the state treasury. None of such lands can be homesteaded as United States lands may be. If the state of Arizona violates the enabling act do- mating said lands the act provides:
 "It shall be the duty of the attor- ney general of the United States to prosecute in the name of the United States, and in it's courts, such proceed ings at law or in equity as may from time to time be necessary and appro priate to enforce the provisions hereof relative to the application and dispo- sition of the said lands and the prod ucts thereof and the funds derived therefrom.'
 "Thus it will be seen that if the state of Arizona or it's state land de- partment does not comply with the act of congress in leasing or selling said state lands and properly applying the funds received therefrom, the whole matter is taken up by the attorney gen eral of the United States and properly prosecuted.
 ssThe lands you mention were pat ented to the state of Arizona in 1918 and must be handled according to the act of congress above mentioned. The provisions of the said enabling act as to lease and sale of these state lands are incorporated in and made part or the constitution of the state of Ar1- zona, and the public code of this state must be. administered in obedience to the state constitution and the en- abling act of congress donating these lands to the state.
