Iah. IL Out on Editor

since the season started the game
wardens in Tins section have been max
ing numerous inspection of fishing
parties at the lakes north OF town and
the Two Buttes reservoir, and have
found many OF our old time fishermen
ones long familiar with the game
laws-without licenses and have mere
ly collected from them the price OF 4
license. Sunday a week ago W. L.
Johnson Of The Wiley Journal took
his first try At fishing in ten years
and was caught by game warden.
Either because he thought editors had
too much money or else because some
body had it in for Mr.. Johnson-form
your own opinion-he was dragged in
10 Lamar before magistrate and il
cost him S322O. The game laws are
mostly all right and should be en-
forced-but it should be done fairly
and without malice. Certainly if old
sports after years of experience are
let off with merely paying q license.
the novice on first offense should get
all equal chance.

The League Runs Amuek

Campaign issues are not static. Even
party platforms cannot give them a
rigidity that is bound to endure from
convention time to election-day. II
is apparent at this moment that the
truth of the above is causing conster-
nation among the Democrats but is
not at all disturbing to the Republi-
cans. Whether Wilson considers the
fate Of the League Covenant the dom
inant question OF the hour. or CON
tinues to maintain that II only sec
ondary. cannot alter the fact that its
future is being determined by Europe
and not by America.
On August 8. at San Sebastian
Spain, the militarization of the League
OF Nations was decreed by the Council
Of the League. An international gen
eral staff. to direct all military opera
tions undertaken In the name Of the
League, was established. Had not the
United States Senate remained loyal
to the basic principles of our institu-
tions, the army and navy Of the United
States would now be under the COM
mand OF this general staff
The cherubie little creature that was
to lead the nations, according To him
To whom IT owed its being. into the
flower-bedecked paths of peace has
grown suddenly into militant Frank
enstein, shocking TO the eyes of its
creator as it proceeds to turn its prun-
ing hooks into spears and its plough
shears into swords.
The adoption Of the Treaty without
change by the dotting Of an ii" or the

importance now. even at the White
House. The League Of Nations is
armed and out on the war-path. but
thank God. this nation retains its night
and its power to make war or peace as
its own voiition. Cox need worry no
longer about what White has to say

Telling II To Them

SomstiInes the truth seriously told
Is the greatest joke imaginable. The

One of the very few truths told in the

The Teacher

The teachers the noblest stunt b
mortal can pursue; and yet we see her
hunt for something else to do. She
loves her high lifting trade and quits
it with sigh. but she can't live oil
what she's paid, and can't afford to
die. For years she studies night and
day. 10 qualify to teach; and We be-
hold her ON her way and say she is
q peach. We hand her nose-gays when
they're cheap, and cali her Buttercup.
and say the blessed schoolmsrIns keep
our bulwarks right side up. Without
her this enlightened age would sadly
be bereft; she guards the priceless
heritage our well known fathers left.
We hand her taffy with q spade. but
when she makes complaint about the
measiy wage she's paid. we sweat some
blood and faint. We may confess 10
spendthrift ways. hold miser greed q
crime; but when the schoolmarn asks
a raise. we're tightwads every time.
And SO she's going from the school to
seek some other trade. to carve heI
way with some new tool. a eorkscrew
or a spade. She cannot thrive on nose
gays sweet, or flourish on hot air, foi
she must have a prIne to eat and de
cent rags to wear.
