Helping MIR. Hardins.

Senator Borah will not consent He will not
approve Mr. Hardins's supposed remodeling of
the league OF nations. He will have no truck with
any league or association with without Article X,
based on court or on anything else
This will help lot. The Senator's complete
disapprovai will reconcile vast number of people
to having Mr. Harding try out his program, who
otherwise would have been much dissatisfied As
Mr. Taft has said, in effect, anything is better
than nothing
1t Senator Hiram Johnson and Senator Reed
JOIN with Mr.. Borah, as presumably they will, in
triunvirate of infability, this will help lot
more. These gentlemen have trouble enough in
drinking wormwood and gall simultaneously from
their three-handled loving cup, for any other to
seek to deprive them OF this soacc
They have task enough for any one Of them
to agree with himself, let alone for them to agree
with each other, for others to disturb their caco-
phonic harmony. Their diapason Of oppositic,
VIII drive those of the other extreme to the mid
die ground, even If it is their boundary than
to that OF what was the majority policy of this
Senate:
1t may be difficult to anayze just how Mr..
Harding expects to work out his plan But he has
not made 1t inhexible. IT it is world court he
wants as basic fact there is one now which can
be amplihed, contracted in its jurisdiction.
If it is a codihcation Of international law, this
same court marks the way, as Its decisions are TO
be based upon international law as we'll as upon
the opinions of recognized publicsts. 1t will be
such decisions which will finally make a BODY of
international law.
To attempt to codify what the war left of it
would be much like trying to reconstruct man
from what Big Bertha left as remains" IT, too.
Mr.. Harding wants association of nations non
political and non-mlitant, the first six articles
OF the covenant of the league of nations provide
this, and it is already organized
If it means but peace agreement of the five
great powers associated in the war, this follows
rather the plan of the French for an alliance or
at least an entente, than of an association of
nations.
But it is unfair to PREJUDICE just what Mr..
Harding proposes and will finally suggest. As said,
his plan is not cut and dried; it is not just this
and nothing else, nothing more and nothing less
The nearest an authoritative and definite outline
of his program has been made by Mr. Taft, who
is willing 10 accept it as working formula 1t is
flexible and capable of adjustment.
If Mr.. Taft, representing one extreme, is
satisfied to try it and Mr.. Borah representing
the other is not, all the vast majority of reserva-
tionsts in between, may we'll be satisfied to take
Mr.. Taft's judgment.

The Ten Little Vamps.

Ten little Vamps looking wild and
fine;
One went into pictures. then there
were nine;
Nine little Vamps played pinochle
with Safe,
Zone tried to kid him then there
were eight:
Eight little Vamps cunning for the
brethren,
One blew up in smoke, then there
were seven;
Seven little Vamps specialized in
hicks,
One got hay fever, then there were
six:
Six little Vamps poised for a dive,
One fell in the water, then there
were five.
Five little Vamps had charges in a
store,
One charged up a million, then there
were four;
Four little vamps smoking GIGS and
drinking tea,
One saw a guy wink hard, then
there were three;
Three little Vamps out for some-
thing new,
Say, you know I've got SO nervous
seeing these good Vamps being
snapped up that I'm afraid I won't
set any. These last three are mine.

Kiting Coal

The coal dealers seem to have been apt pupils
OF the sugar jobbers. They learned to kite coal as
the jobbers did sugar, increasing the price with each
transfer.
To aid them in their pastimc of selling and re-
selling to each other, farsighted users of great
quantities OF coal sent secret agents to bid against
each other. A number of corporations sent several
buyers each who did not know each other, and
who boosted the price to their own employers by
raising each others offers
The War Department got into the game and
accelerated the merry-go-round as it spiralled to
the thin atmosphere where feet chill and heart ar
ton is irregular. 1t bliss for the price kters
who cheerfully passed the buyers around their
circle
Coal that was sold at the mines at 81 a ton
got to the consumer at $II to $I4 and the oy of
easy money thrilled the kiters to greater efforts
So it is that even trained business men become
victims to shell-game
