a Village OF the Murmansk railway

Lenine saying Colonel Robins was

and traffic stopped Until Robins
merly was used by the Car and had
been placed at his disposal by the
Bolsheviki.
Many peasants said TO me that
Americans were a~ristocrats. I
argued with them that Americans
were democrats. They would cite the
fact that Colonel Robins was using
the Czar'st private car as proof Of
their contention. Il.

JUDGE GRAY on RESERVATIONS.

There has just been published q
statement by Judge George Gray OF
Delaware relating to the senate rcser.
~vations on the League Of Nations COM
pact. Judge Gray stands very high
as a jurist and Is a man, and his optn-
ions are entitled to respect Hc goes
| through the list of reservations pro-
them one by me. The reservation
Lrelatins to Article 10 he holds to be
one which would require resubmsslon
to the signatory powers before it could
be accepted. AS to its actual effect,
he says: A. al"
In this view, the conclusion is II
avoidable that the second reservation,
which distinctly says that the United
States assumes no obligations to pre-
serve the territorial integrity or polit-
zeal independence OF any other coun-
try. ETC., unless in any particular case
the congress, which, under the con-
seitution has sole power TO declare
war or authorize the employment of
the military Or naval forces Of the
United States, shall by Act or joint
resolution so provide amounts to a
declaration that the United States will
do as 1t pleascs when an occasion for
fulfilling the obligation arises. I can
see nothing in this but an absolute re-
pudiation Of the obligation sought to
be imposed by Article 10 of the COW
enant, and the. whole reservation is
thus futile for any other purpose. A
direct deletion of the whole article is,
in my opinion, preferable to an
amendment which implies such a Sc
rious derogstion from the treaty max
ing power, and one which may prove
an unfortunate precedent in future ne
~gotiations with foreign nations. OF
course, either the deletion or the
adoption of the reservation involves q
resubmissfon to the signatory pow
ers."
Concerning the 18th reservation,
he speaks as follows:
THE 18th reservation refers, Of
course, to that article OF the league
which gives to the self-governing COL
onieh and dominions of Great Britain
one vote in the assembly of the league,
though no in the council, although
he council is mentioned in the reser-
walton. 1t, Of course, is a substantive
amendment to the treaty requiring a
resubmiseion of the same. This OBJ
lection ought to defeat it, because it
has been shown over and over again
that, in the council, where all i'm
portant determinations and decisions
are made, these separate se1f-govern-
ing dominions are not represented. It
seems gratuitous that the greatest de-
mocr2cy in h world should seek oc-
casion to wound the pride and offend
the governments of these democratic
communities who have contributed in
blood and treasures so much to the
winning Of the war, which we have
considered vital to our own interests

4 MANS JOB.

T. n JOB.
Its q mans job to be cheerful
In the fase of grief and care;
Any weakling can be fearful
And a victim OF despair.
But it takes a man to swallow
All the. bitter in the cup.
And to live for what may follow, :
Without ever giving up.
It's a mans job to be kindly,
It's a mans job to be true:
None can shut his eyes and ,blindls
Try to journey this life through
And not see the wrongs about him
Or the hazards, in his way;
There are times when fate will flou,
him.
And his feet will go astray.
Not in fools and craven creatures
Are the worthy virtues found,
Not on blank and lifeless features
Do the cheerful smiles abound;
He who 10 his best is living
And for truth and honor stands, !,
And is cheerful in his giving,
Has a mans job on his hands.
To be kind and thoughtful ever.
To be strong in times of need,
To put all our best endeavor
In an effort to succeed,
And to fail and keep on trying,
And not lose your cheerful ways,
Is a job, there's no denying.
For a real man, nowadays.

The agreement which amounts to
combining the packers to one particular

lar results to resemble the decisions
rendered in favor Of the government

CHANGING A GOVERNMENT.

a distinguished trait of the Anglo
saxon people, and OF most of the peo-
pies OF northwestern Europe, is their
tendency to recognize the authority of
existing law. These several peoples
have not chosen the same form Of
government. nor have they retained
any-form unchanged. But except in
certain rare oases, their governments
have, besn Of their5ow choosing, and
authority vested in them has been
respected mp to the actual accom-

HIGH sOCIETY

The opinion of this humble scribe
does not go very far with the ruling
classes of society, but we are going
to express it, anyway, in the hope of
possibly deterring the coming gener-
alton from apeing after apes. 1t is
that high society ought to change it's
name from high to low, for. judging
by the very highest, it is about the
lowest thing we know of.
The 400 of New York and New
port and the fashionables of London
are just now standing on their hind
legs and wildly waving their ample
ears, over the fact that high society
DANES have appeared in the streets of
London with skirts slit high enough
to display the knees, and that the
knees thus displayed are bare, the
! e'rahroiaered az stockings being turned
down to snow the bare knees, ali sa..,e
a Scotch kilt. Also the arms are bare,
and have cute little snake tatooed
upon them, the shoulder blades also
being bare and have butterflies upon
them.
Only one thing is lacking, and that
is entire nakedness, with miniature
jackasses and idiots tatooed upon
that portion of the anatomy about
two or three feet below the base of
the brain, or rather where the brain
is in other people who do not belong
to high society.
In the meantime Socialism, Bolshe-
vism and Anarchy continue to grow,
both in New York and London, and
this is one of the main reasons. The
squandering of dishonesty accumu-
lated fortunes by brainless boobs of
both sexes on both sides of the ocean
must lead to the same results, if car
ried on long enough, that gave birth
to the French Commune and ran the
cutters of Paris red.

HARRISON COUNTY CLINIC

On August End there will be held
a Clinic of the Harrison County Med
ical Society in the High School build
ing in this city. The object of these
meetings are to extend free consul
tation to any afflicted person within
the county, and thus enable them to
obtain more intelligent idea Of how
best to care for themselves. In no
instance will any deceptive measures
be taken and no effort made by any
one in attendance to betray another
physician of the county. Every pa
tient will be requested to give the
name of the physician he prefers, or
else his case will be presented by his
physician. The conclusion of these
examinations will be discussed later
in the day by the physicians in at
tendance, and their final opinion rem
dered to the County Nurse, who will
forward these recommendations to
the attending physician. If physi-
clans have case which they do not
understand thoroughly, it will be an
opportunity for enlightenment to
them. If they have an interesting
case, it will be an opportunity to
show that case to colleagues without
the danger of losing his patient.
The main important object being
to bring the physicians of the county
in closer union to one another, and at
the same time to show the public
that its interests are vital to the
successful organization of general
medicine.

TH1NKoGRAPHs

This is country full of great men.
If you doubt it read all Of the recent
nominating speeches.
One difficulty with life's problems
is that we can't turn to the back of
the book and find the answers.
1t begins to look as if party lines
in this country will undergo as many
changes as country lines in Europe
have since the armistice.
Irving Cobb, after listening to the
much advertised speech of William
Jennings Bryan, refers to him as the
Boy Orator Of the Platitudes.
Men will not work overtime without
pay, but will go out and put in that
same overtime shooting craps and lose
what they made while on regular shift.
Man is funny critter.
Mr.. Christianson, the proposed new
President of the United States, is a
Swede, and lives in Salt Lake City,
Utah. He is not, however, Nor
mon, and whether that will or will
not get him women votes remains to
be seen.
The people damn the capitalists,
the trusts and both old political par
ties saying they are tarred with the
same stick, and then when the warning
elements try to get together upon q
party Of their own they turn and rend
each other until there is nothing left
but the caudle appendage, all same
Kilkinny cats. Twas ever thus.

She's Your Partner All Right

"No, sir, can't give you a posi-
tive answer as to this deal until con.
suit my wife about it. She works
just as hard as I do, and therefore
our income is as much hers as mine.
Besides, where we live concerns her as
much as it does me or the rest of the
family, for her happiness is much at
stake. Aside from the requirements
OF the law, therefore, 1 have no right
to close deal of this nature in which
she is SO much interested as she is in
our home without giving her an op-
portunity to express her wish about
it,"
We certainly endorse the stand TAX
en- by this citizen. His standpoint is
one Of affectionate and just consider
alton. Indeed, it is quite possible
that the wife and mother is even a
little more interested in the home
place than the head of. the family. for
the reason that it is she who is the
.ioihe-maKer. There is hardly room
TO argue against the fact that most
men are too prone to consult onlv
their own wishes in a matter of this
Kind, looking only to the relative val
ue OF the property in question, from q
money-making standpoint, leaving
the mother and children without .
voice in a matter that concerns them
more than any other-the home its
location, conveniences, healthfullness
and environments.
The view which this good man took
that his wife was a partner and co.
operator in their business affairs and
not simply "there because she is
there" is one which should be more
generally held by all men who have
families. The man who considers
his wife as his partner in business
as well as in life's joys and sorrows,
IS the one who has happy wife and
where there is happy wife and
mother there is invariably a happy
home for the whole family
