Otner parties 10 the treaty tnat tn{
army and navy Of the United States
cannot under the Constitution be EN-.
ployed to preserve the independence
or territorial integrity Of any other
country without the assent Of Con
gress. In giving expression to 4
fact which nobody disputes that the
war power rests with Congress II
would seem that the wording might! BE
indsensiye, but 1t ision this sratt1tcds
exhibition Of bad l. m.ann 81 that that TIE
Senate has been quibblipg for months.
When the President says.s."To the
substance Of 1t I Of course adhere, :
who can say that heswill hold up the
treaty because OF tie bad language
used BY the Senate? Let the Senate
ratify the treaty, and use any kind Qf
language it wants to in stating its res
ervations, and the President we be-
,lieve can be relied upon to disregard
hair-splitting on statements OF fact.
II the treaty is beaten in the Senate
It will not be on account Of the failure
to agree upon the wording Of the res
ervation to Article x, although that
will be assigned as the ostensible rea-
son. The real reason will be the adj
vantage which certain Senators think
may be gained by having the treaty as
an issue in the coming presidential
campaign.
We think that the Telegraph Herald
states the view Of the real friends
of the t-eatv when it says:
at is evident that with the peace
treaty made the chief bone of con-
tention of the presidential campaign,
other issues would be dwarfed and
given insufficient consideration. 1t is
also evident that it would be difficult,
in the case of the League of Nations
issue, to obtain clear mandate from
the nation, because of the inevitable
confusion of the League issue with
other issues and with personalities and
craftsmanship. In all probability, the
Senate would not have much more
light on the subject after election than
1t has now, and would be torn more
than ever by the antipathies and ran
cors engendered during the campaign.
The time to dispose of the treaty is
now.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1920.
REAL FRIENDS OF TREATY DE
SIRE PROMPT RATIFICATION !.

Dispatches from Washington pre-
dict no agreement will be reached on
the reservations to the Peace Treaty,
and that the whole subject will have
to be thrashed out in the coming presi-
Dental campaign.
The real friends of the treaty sim
cerely trust that these predictions may
not prove true. The necessary major
ity in the Senate want to ratify the
treaty with certain reservations, and
they do not disagree upon the sub
stance of these reservations. It seems
that our Senator'S who have scolded
each other for more than seven months
over the Treaty, are unable to agree
upon the language which should be
used in stating a fact about which
there is no disagreement.
"A month ago, in an open letter to
Senator Hitchcock, the President re-
ferred to compromise reservation as
to Article x. in these words:
To the substance of it of course Il
adhere, am bound to. Like your
self, am solemnly sworn to obey
and maintain the Constitution OF
the United States. But ! think the
form of It very unfortunate. Any
reservation or resolution stating q
that "the United States assumes no
obligation under such and such an
article unless or except" would,
! am sure chill our relationship
with the nations with which we ex-
pect to be associated in the great
enterprise Of maintaining the
worlds peace.

WANT MORE CATTLE
RUSTL|NG STATUTES

AT the meeting of the Southern
Nevada Cattle Owners Association,
held at Tonopah, Vernon Metcalf
secretary of the Nevada Livestock
Association, was made an honorary
member because of the cooperation
he has given the southern Nevada
cattlemen and the interest he has
taken in their problems.
Two important resolutions were
passed-one urging legislation to pro-
tect the grazing lands of the public
domain, which are being depleted
rapidly, and another asking additional
laws against cattle rustlers and strict
enforcement of the present laws. The
resolution regarding grazing lands
asks that grazing be regulated bv the
department of agriculture and proper
protection afforded for legitimate
stock growers.
All of the old officers were reelected
with the exception of Miss Catherine
Curley, who resigned as secretary.
George e. McKenna, of Goldfield. was
elected to fill her place.
A meeting will be held early in the
fall at Phoebe, in Lincoln county, for
the purpose of organizing and getting
into the association the cattlemen of
that section.-[Tonopah Times.

RAILROAD SERVICE
IS UNCHANGED HERE
no FREIGHT RECEIVED OR CO.
ING OUT BEYOND IMMEDIATE DI-
VISION POINTS; ALL PASSEN-
GER TRAINS ARE RUNNING

Conditions arising because of the
switchmen's strike are the same here
today, only passenger trains and local
freights moving. The Southern Pa
cific is accepting freight only for
points between Carlin and Sparks and
the Western Pacific from Elko to
Gerlach, division terminals. Nothing
is being received from coast or east
ern points.
The strike situation remains the
same at Sparks, according to the
Sparks Tribune, as it has been for
the past four days. The switchmen
have a herder at work taking care
of the passenger and mail trains.
This herder has a crew of four men
with him. They will not handle any
freight trains and there have been no
new men employed at Sparks, and as
far as can be ascertained there will
be no effort made by the officials to
replace the switching crews for the
present.
Two freight trains were handled
out of Sparks Tuesday. One was
an eastbound local freight, which
had been made up in the yards pre-
vious to the tie-up and this train was
taken out One train Of perishable
freight was made up by company Off
cials for the West and was sent out
of Sparks.
Yesterday morning one small west
bound train was made up by officials
and was sent west. This train was
mostly made up of empty oil cars.
j. w. Airhart, chairman of the
grievance committee, stated that the
men expected that the government
would take a hand very shortly and
as soon as the President, or some
one in authority appealed to the men
or requested the men to return to
their positions. that they would all
resume their duties in the yards. He
indicated that this request was ex-
pected in a few hours and that
coupled with the appeal, if it were
made by the government, would be
the announced intention to have the
newly appointed labor board take up
the present strike situation and
thresh it out, and also give immediate
and final action on the claims of the
employees, which have been before the
railroad administration for the past
several months, and the settlement of
which have been delayed from time to
time on various grounds.

HOBO CAMP At ELKO
D|STURBS OFFICERS

A camp of boy hoboes to the mum
ber of nearly fifteen was discovered
by Constable Cotant in the eastern
part of Elko. These young knights
of the road were equipped with all
sorts of cooking utensils and con-
siderable food and were making the
camp their headquarters. Spending
the day in town gathering edible
stuffs, which they cooked at camp, the
crowd was daily taking new members
into its circles. The Elko officer i'm
mediately demanded their leaving
and confiscated their cooking outfits.
Nearly all of the men left, but six
decided to stay and were placed in
the county Jail. When brought before
Judge Doughty they were all given
"foaters."
The officers say that they have
never seen such an influx of young
tramps in this part of the country be-
fore. All OF the toys refuse to work.
The constable's Office at Elko now
has calls for ten farm hands, but eff
forts to recruit the labor out of the
ranks OF the hoboes are all unsuc-
cessful. None of them will work.
Another camp of the ne'er-do-wells
was reported near the stockyards and
