cntanglements, with the lives OF
American boys at stake. In three
cases the treaty shows we must have
wars and in seven cases permits it.
Mr.. Ernst said other nations are
not curtailing their armament and
therefore it would not be safe for the
United States to do so.
Congressman ]. M. Robson then
spoke and showed that a great num-
Frr ut prominent Democrats are
against the treaty as il stands and
cited the nomination of Thomas Wat
son Of Georgia to prove that the peo-
pie of that State have repudiated the
document. He ran as an anti to the
treaty. OF AZ Democratic Senators
only % are in favor of the treaty as
it stands.
Mr.. Robson stated that Mr.. Ernst
is going to be elected and that the
women will come out to vote.
In explaining the reason for Lii
berry Bonds being below par Mr..
Robsion said that it is due to the ex-
.trawgance of the present admins
.ratiOm, which has contracted loans
on short time with American bank
ers for three billion dollars, paying
therefor six percent, whereas the
bonds, which were so periodically
subscribed for by the people run
from 3H to AZ per cent. Naturally
bankers take the bigger interest on
the short time loans.
Mr.. Robson charged that Amer
lea is being asked to defend the
boundaries and possessions of forty
nations and empires and asked why
We should do it with the blood and
treasure of America.

route. The fire was quickly extin-
guished and the crowd. which was
in various stages of undress, II be-
ing the hour of 1880 p. m, went
home glad that this big building had
not gone up in flames. Had the fire
smouldered ON until a later hour,
those living above might have had
a more unpleasant experience.

RELICS OF GREAT
 HISTORIC VALUE ARE
 NOW ON EXHIBITION

PHILADELPHIA. June 9 Gold ornaments, idols, crowns, armor and other relics of great historic value which date from the civilizations Of he Incas, Aztecs and other Mexican nd central and South American peo- )lcs are contained in a collection, of :ur specimens recently placed on view -o the first time in the museum of nc University of Pennsylvania. =
 The exhibit was only recently
 brought to it's present completeness lv the purchase of objects whichIhad ,ecn in possession of a noble French amily for generations, but which were sold at Paris because the family vas impoverished. ~
 Gold was used by the AztecS and meas only for ornaments, religious ,mblems and attire. These objects, shipped to Spain by Pizzaro, Cortez .ud others in the 16th' and l7th cen .uIies were melted and coined:. This ,Arlains the rarity of the original golden objects. E
 A grave recently opened in Colom- ,ia proved a rich trove of them. It vas apparently the burying place of , princess. Enough golden ornaments discovered completely to clotheta mo- leln woman for her appearance in a ballroom. There were, besides a crown breast plate, girdle, afmlets and .arious other appendages, aside from , great quantity of jewels. Rings and necklaces of amazing beauty are among the objects. l" <

how steel strike was related to politics no
one ever tried to find out.
Here and there were q few newspapers
that made an honorable attempt to learn the
truth about an industrial tie-up that diSas-
trOusly affected vast numbers of men and
great productive areas in different parts Of
the country. They found--as this newspaper
found-that the steel strike was movement
directed primarily against the twelve hour
day--an institution peculiar to the American
steel industry and one that always has had
a destructive effect upon the individual and
collective life Of tn" armies who operate Mr.
Gary's mills. The strike was lost.
The twelve hour day is still the rule.
About 60 per cent of the steel workers have
TO endure il. But others have taken up the
battle at the point whore the workers had I"

good causes are never really lost.
