A SHAMEFUL ADMISSION

There are many evidences that thu
ideals Of Europe are not the ideals OF
America. The Versailles treaty AND
league covenant abound In preof OF
this fact. 1t is fortunate indeed that
the people Of the United States In
solemn referendum have repudiated
the instrument that was submitted
for their approval
It is important that the people
guard against any acceptance Of oh.
jectionable features of the league
covenant in the future. America IL
not obligated to accept any Of them
and America can set Its own stan
dards In this respect.
American standards were not fol-
lowed In the proceedings Of the Yer
sailles conference. All references to
the Deity were omitted. The prin-
cipais refused to have the proceed
ings opened with prayer. 1t has been
said that the reason for that was
that It would have offended the Mo-
hammedan nations. Whether this !s
true or not, II is true that the Chris
tian religion was ignored and flOuted
by the principals.
The American standards Of moral
ity will not accept that provision Of
Article % which refers to traffic In
women and children. The wording
is as follows:
= 1.-THE members Of the league will
entrust the league with the general
supervision over the execution Of
agreements with regard to the traffic
in women and children, and the
traffic in opium and other danger
Gus drugs"
This provision Is an admission that
the league and its smembers had no
objection to such traffic. but merely
stipulated that the traffic must be
supervised" 1t is an admission that
the league and its members have no
intention Of stopping such traffic.
Traffic that IL supervised" Is. OF
course. sanctioned and allowed to
continue.
In the face Of such facts as these
1t Is indeed remarkable. that the Wis
cOnsin church man should become so
enraged over the election that he re-
signed from the church. on the
ground that the reputation of the
covenant was a blow at Christianity.
The cynical provision in Article %
IL sickening commentary upon the
standards Of the various members Of
the league. The United states will
have none Of it.-Wichita Beacon.

GOOD spoRTsMANsHIP

The Abilene hackers OF the high
school eleven who went to Chapman
report that some Of the Chapman
young men so far forgot good sports
manship as to treat visitors roughly
When the game went against them
they broke the banners OF the Adj
lenc rooters and took from the girls
their high school caps and destroy
cd them. This was not very sports
manlike. We are sure II did not
meet with the sanction OF the facul-
ty Of the county high school. One
Of the tests OF manliness Is to be a
good loser and the Chapman boys
should remember that lack Of that
quality leaves u bad Odor on school

good loser as well as good winner.

CROPS AND PRICES

We were rather impressed by one
thought IN this letter from Nebras-
ka business man--that good crops
are an asset to the country, that II
IL poor crops that make hard times
He says regarding a statement Of
Nebraska business men that their de-
posits are decreasing and loans grow

tally In the way Of grains. While
, cannot remember very clearly. back
as far as IS to 20 years ago, yet !
know that many years ago when
large crops were raised there was no
market for the crops and then the
farmer had to take a lower price.
"NOw, when large crops are raised,
the farmer has been 80 spoiled BY
high prices during the last three or
four years that when there Is heavy
crop. such az we had last year. he
simply holds the corn or any other
grain that does not bring what he
terms high enough price until he
thinks he can get high price.
There are more chances for the
farmer to get high prices now when
there Is a large crop than there were
years ago, as there are more people
here and more Of the different grains
and farm products consumed.
"Some replies from my statesmen
indicating slow collection. give as II
reason that the farmer is holding of

She made the remark to the grocer
that her husband would pay up the
grocery bill cnxt month. that the

that he could get more for the corn

POLITICAL RULE COSTLY

About a year and half ago the
city Of Seattle bought the street rail-
way because the politicians said they
could Operate the system on a DC
fare and make big profits" They
made such statements In spite Of the
fact that the trained. exberiepced
men who had spent years on the
system had clearly shown the eco
monte fallacy Of these political
promises and predictions.
Now, after only years operation
by the city, with over million dol
lars loss. the Seattle City council has
put the fare up to 1Oc cash, 10
tickets for 81. In addition, the cOun-
ell has put on the backs Of the tax
payers over 100000 formerly paid
as taxes by the street car company.

The Ladies Literary League at its
meeting last week started the move
ment in earnest to have all cows from
which milk Is sold In Abilene tested
for tuberculosis. Over 1000 deaths
occur every year in Kansas from con-
sumption and milk from tubercular
cows Is considered so dangerous
that pure bred herds are regularly
inspected and the county has to pay
for the animals infected, then has
them killed. It seems reasonable that
town that wants good health for its
children should take pains to be sure
that no tuberculosis II scattered
through the homes by the milk route.
All the milk sold in town may be
pure but nobody knows whether 1t Is
or not. It does not pay to take
chances on that sort Of thing and the
club women deserve credit for TAX
ing action. The city officials ought
to listen to them.
