President and Senate


will soon consider a separate
peace with Germany. Not SO,
says President Harding. Either
the President or the Senator is
going to back down.
IF we choose to make peace
with Germany by a treaty,
which will probably follow this
resolution" said Senator Lodge
in his speech on the Knox reso,
luton, surely we are not be-
traying" the Powers associated
with US in the war. There fol-
lowed much discourse about the
practical impossibility of saving
anything of the Versailles Treaty
after dissecting out the Covenant
of the League of Nations. Very
little of the Treaty would remain,
said the Senator. For that rea-
son we must make our terms
with Germany by a separate
treaty of peace, which will
probably follow thisresolution. =
1T would be idle to declare for
separate treaties of peace with
the Central Powers on the as
sumption that these alone
would be adequate, : said Pres
ident Harding in his address to
Congress on April12;; because,
he continued, the situation is so
involved that our peace engage
"ments cannot ignore the Old
World relationship and the set
Elements already effected, nor
is it desirable to do SO in pre-
serving our own rights and con
tracing our future relation
ships"
There is a further irreconcil-
able conflict between the Execu-
tive and the Chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee.
Mr.. Lodge for the hundredth time
declares the League of Nations
dead and buried, but he now
commits the Treaty to the cold
tomb. 1t can't be saved; nothing
worth having would remain after
the Covenant was cut loose from
it-therefore a separate peace
treaty will probably follow
Listen again to the voice of the
President; The wiser course
would seem to be the accept
"ance of the confirmation of our
rights and interests as already
provided and to engage under
the existing Treaty, assuming,
of course, that this can be sat-
"isfactorily accomplished by such
explicit reservations and modi-
"fications as will secure our alb
"solute freedom from inadvisable
Commitments and safeguard all
''our essential interests"
Here is a head-on collision be-
tween the President and the Re-
publican leader in the Senate. In
addressing Congress President
Harding warned the bumptious
Senators to cease meddling. Re-
ferring to the failure of Mr.. Will
son to love the Senators as he
ought to have done, he said that
I'VE would go to the other ex-
IRENE, equally Objectionable, if
Congress or the Senate should
assume the function of the Ex-
''ecutive. :"
MIR. Lodge is assuming the
function of the Executive. 1t is
he who announces the policy of
making a separate peace with
Germany, overriding the policy
declared by the President. 1t is
he who says we can have moth
ing more to do with the Versailles
Treaty, although the President
has declared that we should en-
gage under" it. Furthermore,
he refers to some musty preced-
ents to reinforce his hint, or COM

The statement by Battle Creek
school teacher that the girls under
her tutelege cannot graduate unless
they discard unbuckled galoshes, silk
stockings and highly embellished
compilations would be merely an un-
important absurdity if it were not il
Illustrative of a rather common failing

A badly manufactured complexion
is suggestive of a low grade of intel

1t is quite permissible for a school

the ground that bad. art has de-
.moralizing educational influence and
that crudity is nuisance in an insti-
tuition set apart for mental culture.
Silk stockings, however, may or may
not be in bad taste in school. yell

Condemn High Pric-
ed Stock Foods
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Unwarranted
Makes His Own Hog
Food, with Better
Results.

THAT he is all through paying fan
toy prices for stock foods and hog REM
tedies and that he is raising some OF
the best hogs ever placed on the mar
Aet" was the statement made recently
by E. H. Beckstead, well-known hog
raiser and authority on live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
sOf his neighbors, and have topped the
market" for several years in Iowa.
He states that for years he bought
high priced hog foods and hog rem
edies, but he is all through paying ex-
himself. He states that what the hogs
need are minerals, and tells the secret
of his wonderful success by explain
ing that he takes about five pounds of
ordinary naineraline (which is pure
concentrated minerals and costs only a
couple of dollars) and mixes same
with enough bran or filler to make a
hundred pounds. All hogs, and espe-
cially brood sows require minerals as
they keep them free from worms, and
in the pink of conditions, and are es-
sential to the hogs growth and a we'll
balanced ration. This inexpensive
mixture placed in sheltered box
where the hogs can get at it as they
need it, will produce far better results
than any high priced so-called stock
foods.
Send two dollars to The Mineraline
Chemical Co., 1888 North Wells St.,
Chicago, ILL.,, and they will forward
you by prepaid parcel post, enough
mineraline to make full hundred
pounds. (Adv.) 3O-4ts.

Quick Sellers VS..
Best Sellers
Burgess Johnson.

i Burgess Johnson.
Sixty million people in this coun-
try never see book, and about 4 per
cent of our population ever get into
a bookstore. In a half million homes
where reading is desired, what do you
find? The Bible, "home DOCTOR" a
history of the world, sold on sub
scription by some itinerant vender, and
then what? Ben Hur, perhaps, and a
worn volume of Scott or Dickens, and
some school books.
Please realize that when new vol
ume Of Mr.. So-and Sos salacious stuff
is tossed from the presses next spring,
| it is seized upon by the merest fringe
Of our vast literate population. At
the end of six months Its sales are
dead as doornail; yet David Copper
field is still selling in twenty Or thir-
ty different editions, and A Tale of
Two Cities in forty or more. "Ah,"
says critic Jones, "that isn't public
taste; that's habit. Sets of Dickens
aren't books; they are furniture, libra
ry wall paper, certificates Of culture"
Jones would be right if the chief sale
of Dickens were by sets, but it is not.
One Of the many low-priced editions,
the year before the war, sold, of David
Copperfield, 4,700 copies; of Nicholas
Nickleby, 2,1OO; Pickwick Papers, g.
900; Tale of Two Cities, 1900; Our
Mutual Friend, LOO and other indi-
vidual volumes of his works in almost
negligible quantity. All this was des-
pite the fact that every nublic library
had them. In the year Of Dickens
death twenty-one different editions of
his works were on sale in America;
forty-five years later there were as
many as fifty of certain volumes. In
that same year before the war a GER
tain best seller went up to 100000
copies in six months and then went
down-and gut.
It is easy to be misled by flash-in-
the-pan successes, when judging popu-
lar taste. Mr.. So-and-So's society
scandals make a very loud noise and
then die Any publisher in the land,
if offered a choice between the works
of best-seller So-and-So and the works
of Joseph Conrad, for instance, would
works are better property in their
second year than in their fist. Let
us substitute the phrase ''quick seller"
for "best seller" and keep our mean
ing clear. Two of Americas best sell
lers in the field of copyright fiction
are Ben Hur, with close on 100000
sales, and David Harum, with more
than S1,OO0,000. The publishers Of Tom
Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn few
weeks ago manufactured $4,000 CO.
pies each of these two books, to car
ry them through the coming year, and
these stories were first published over
forty years ago. 1t is safe bet that
five out Of this years "six best sell
legs" will, two years from now, be as
the grass that withered; while in the
same year Captain January and A
Birds Christmas Carol and The Man
Without Country will approach or
enter their second million; and even
next year Lorna Doone will outsell
them all.

| not likely to develop wholesale. AS
to galoshes, they are the most SEN
sible piece Of school girl greakishness
that has developed in the last ten
years. They are boon to health,
and constant source Of joy to the
person with a sense of humor. They
are to be cherished and encouraged.
In their unbuckled state, they are too
genially grotesque to be lost.
Now the Battle Creek teacher has
mixed up all these things, making no
distinction between matters that have
no actual relation to one another, and
has placed them all under a single
blanket anathema. In her eyes, all
are heinous crimes. The girl who has
spilled paint pot on her cheeks and
needs to go home for soap and wa
ter scrub at the kitchen sink, and the
child whose overshoes clink and flop
innocently, are alike condemned to
suffer the extreme penalty within the
instructors power of bestoWal.
Here we have a neat example OF
that characteristic lack of any true
sense of proportion among Comstock-
ian zealots which is doing more to
discredit the so-called reform move
ments, than is all the opposition OF
the unregenerate. Just as the Bat
tie Greek teacher loses sympathy,
and creates antagonism by her lack
of judgment, so, the country having
gone dry, those extremists who are
now turning their attention to to-
bacco and chewing gum, and inno-
cent soft drinks, and to almost every
other little frivolity that makes the
horror Of civilized life tolerable, are
nauseating the stomachs Of sensible
people by their extravagances.
Just so, also, the Lords Day ALI
ance, working for the imposition OF
rigid blue laws which would impose
observance of their particular rules
for piety upon whole nation, are
arousing opposition in many places
where they might have won individ-
ual concurrence in their beliefs, if,
instead Of trying to restore inquisi-
totial rigors for the non-conformists
they had used only argument and APP
peal and example. The Lords Day
alliance is in fact singularly me-
dieval institution. 1t is considerably
more intelerant than the community
at Plymouth, which has been cited as
it's inspiration. For among the Pill
grins the people were theoretically
all of one faith, and those guilty of
lapses did not undertake to argue
about the sinfulness Of their derelic-
tions. They accepted all the premises.
Whereas today in America a good
many millions honestly disbelieve in
Puritan rules, and consider them fool
ish if not worse. The Puritans did
not pretend to want freedom for any
body but themselves-our attitude is
somewhat broader and more advanced
than this.
At best, the job Of regulating the
conduct of others, except where it is
actually criminal or grossly immor-
al, is delicate and risky business
The highest type of discretion is nee
essary to successful work. And gen.
orally where an attempt is made to
put sumptuary laws into effect
in a school room or in a
nation, the abuse is worse than an
original evil Ordinarily such laws
are thoroughgoing nuisance.

The Falling of the Leaf

Oh mortal man; the falling leaf;
In solemn silence speaks to thee,
Thy stay on earth, like ours, is brief,
And man is but fading tree.
Thy spring of youth is quickly past,
Thy manhood's summer sheds it's
bloom;
Then age, like autumn's chilling blast
Brings on the winter of the tomb
But spring returns, and trees again
Put on their foliage, fresh and
green;
But naught of man shall here remain
" To mark the spot where he hath
Yet, in a brighter, happier state,
They that believe in Jesus rise;
A fairer spring shall them await,
And endless summer in the skies.
