Few Wild Horses

Sometimes in the isolated mountain
CANYONS of the West horses are found
running loose, but while these might
be termed wild, they usually belong to
some rancher who has let them run
loose. Wild burros are frequent in
various parts of Arizona and occasion
ally are found in Utah. But the old
wild horse herds of the mountain
plateau regions have gone. probably
forever. Ranchers and farmers are
we'll satisfied that they should go.

Century in Building.

Over a century elapsed between the
day the plans for st. Peters church
at Rome were submitted and the day
of the conservation of the magnificent
structure. Consequently, no one man
can claim full credit for its erection,
though the Italian architect Bramante
deserves the lions share, for he made
the original design under orders from
Pope julius II, about 1903. In 1906 tie

grew the wonderful building.

One of Americas most astute states
men and lawmakers, PhiIander Chase
Knox, died suddenly in his home in
Washington last Wednesday. AS at,
torney general, secretary of state and
senator from Pennsylvania, and for
many years as one of the leaders of
the Republican party, Mr.. Knox won
high consideration and fame. He was
a candidate for the Republican NOM
ination for the presidency in 1908, and
in recent years was especially prOmi-
nent as an answering opponent of
the Versailles treaty, and the author
of the resolution declaring the state
of war with Germany and Austria at
an end. When he was attorney gen
eral, under President Roosevelt, he di-
rected the suit that smashed the
Northern Securities railway merger; ;
as secretary of state, in President
Taft's cabinet, he did much to extend
developing the principle Of dollar di-
plomacy," especially in the Far East.
Mr.. Knox often aroused the antago-
nism of others by his downright poll
cies, but his unadulterated American
ism was never questioned, and his
services to his country were numer-
Gus and important.
It was expected in Washington that
the death of Senator Knox would re-
suit in brief delay in bringing the
peace treaties to a final vote in the
senate.

The conference on unemployment
adjourned sine die on Thursday, after
approving a general program of per-
manent measures designed to cure In
voluntary idleness and restore the ma
tons business and commerce to a
normal condition. These are in addi-
ton to the steps for immediate re-
lief of the situation already taken, in
Guiding the enlistment of commercial
and employers associations and mu-
inequalities and states in the solving
of the problem and the setting up in
Washington of a centralizing agency
under Col. Arthur Woods

The American delegation selected
Basil Miles as its secretary, consid-
cred and approved the physical ar
rangements for the conference, and
then took up the matter of publicity
for the big meeting The members
explained to the anxious representa-
tives of the press that this is ques-
ton for the conference to determine,
but that they would place no obstacle
in the way of the fullest publicity pos
sible consistent with the expedition
of the conferences business.
Hundreds of idealists have written
to President Harding, under the i'm
preston that the conference is eX-
pected to accomplish the complete dis
armament Of the world. In a reply to
one of them, the President has under
taken to dispel the illusion. In it he
says, as he has said before, that it
is erroneous even to suggest that the
conference can go so far as to at
tempt universal disarmament, and
that IF we can get a reasonable limi-
tation we shall think that great things
have been accomplished" Continuing,
he says:
"By reasonable limitation l mean
something practicable that there is a
chance to accomplish, rather than an
ideal that there would be no chance to
realize. It is necessary to deal with
actualities; to do the best possible.
Universal disarmament would be be-
yond hope of realization; even its de-
STABILITY at this time might well be
Questioned. Thousands of years of his
tory recording the wars and contro-
Yersies OF mankind suggest that hui
man nature would require revolution
airy reorganization to make universal
disarmament possible. A consideration
Of the present state of the world must,
i think, enforce the conclusion that
this is not hopeful time to undertake
that kind of revolution. To
undertake the impossible and fail
might leave our last state worse than
our first The attitude of the nations
warrants confidence that we will not
fail, but rather that substantial re-
suits will be accomplished, calculated
to lessen the armament burden and to
reduce the danger of armed conflict"

Ireland's peace delegates, after re-
ceiving a noisy welcome from their
fellow countrymen in London, went
into conference with Premier Lloyd
George and several other members Of
the British cabinet. The sessions are
likely to continue, with brief inter-
ruptions, for many weeks, and if the
Sim Feiners have their way, the pub
lie will know little of what is going
on until the whole affair is ended. Ap-
parently both sides are showing tact
and good will. and the feeling in Lon
don is becoming distinctly optimis-
tic.

Khan, and then Colonel Simmons him
self took the stand. He declared the
Khan is not anti Catholic, anti-Jew or
anti-negro; that it was not organized
for personal profit, and has no lawless
creed, and never has taken the law
into its own hands. In six years, he
asserted he has received only $4,000
from the organization. He told the
committee he hoped it would make
the most thorough investigation of the
Khan, and promised that if one one
thousandth part of the charges against
| it We're proved he would call the grand
council together for the purpose of
disbanding the organization.
Colonel Simmons declared the at
tack OH the Khan was started by a
Democratic paper of New York, to in
crease its circulation, and as polit-
ical scheme to put the proposition for
an investigation up to the Republican
congress, and that certain other met
ropolitan papers had to fall into line
to save their circulation.

King Alexander of Servia is the sub
ject of lot Of international gossip
these days. For weeks, since the
death Of old King Peter, he has de-
layed his going 70 Belgrade to assume
the crown of Jugo-Slavia, and the ex-
plantations of this delay have not been
at all satisfactory. One day last week
it was reported in Paris, where Alex
ander is sojourning, that he had re-
nounced the throne, preferring the
pleasures of the French capital to the
perils of being king in his own land
Next day this story was fatty denied
by the Jugo-Slav legation in Par
is. One of the rumors afioat is that
the young monarch IS enamored of
a French girl who would not be ac-
ceptable as queen.

lions has decided on the division of
Upper Silesia between Germany and
Poland on the lines reported in dis
patches from Europe, the reactionary
elements in Germany will be given a
fine chance to regain some of their
lost power. Though the reported so
luton of the problem is compromise,
and gives Germany a considerable
share of the manufacturing region of
Upper Silesia, including the districts
of Gleiwitz, Hindenburg and part of
Beuthen, the Germans are highly dis
pleased with the decision. The mon
archie press is bowling for revenge,
and the radicals and conservatives unite
in denOuncing the partition as "crim-
inal act" The almost immediate re-
suit is likely to be the resignation of
the cabinet, and if Chancellor Wirth
is thus forced out, it is most probable
that Doctor Streseman will come into
power as his successor. He, as has
been said before in these columns, is
at heart a reactionary, and is bitter
against the entente allies and the
United States. Meanwhile, according
to rumors, certain of the Silesian cit
les awarded to Poland are preparing
to fight to stay in Germany. The old
German military bodies that were dis
banded when the league troops took
charge in the district. are getting to-
gether again, and arms that were
buried instead of surrendered, are be-
ing dug up. The prospect is far from
peaceful.
