Here the Story Continues

ITlIE rest Of the series we're purposely

upon the chief events in the Queen 8
stormy life, concluding with the final
picture of her being led to execution.
You may imagine how hard we both
worked. I pored over every volume
that could lay my hands on that could
aid me in gaining a knowledge of the
period. But I never begrudged a mo

was the comfort Of knowing that in

smiled and said:

And I am confident that he will keey
his word. For I place no limit to tn,

Editor News-Times:
Sir-Democrats In Congress are
hoping for the success of the COM
ing conference for reduction of ar
maments. They very properly take
pride in it as a Democratic achieve
ment Those who think of it as a
Republican move for popular APP
prevail have forgotten in the hurly-
burly of events the history of the
movement. A brief outline of that
history will show that Pres't Hard
ing did not discover the idea any
more than DIR. Sawyer has discov-
cred a cure for golf.
As recently as last spring the pres
ident was much upset by Sen. Bo-
rah's resolution directing him TO call
such a conference. And the latter
did not himself discover the idea
any more than Laddie Boy discov-
cred the Dog Star.
The whole idea of such a confer
ence to reduce the terrible burden
of ornaments is democratic. Champ
Clark preached it off and on for 25
years, but it took another Missouri
democrat to put the concrete idea
into the naval bill in 1916 - five
years ago. 1t was first offered by
Rep. Walter L. Hensley as a resO-
luton and was then incorporated in
the naval appropriation act of 1916

prehension and disfavor upon a gen
eral increase of ornaments through
out the world, but it realizes that
no single nation can disarm, and
that without a common agreement
upon the subject every considerable
power must maintain a relative

"In view of the premises. the pres
