IMITATION Is FLATTERY
SAYS PICTORIAL REVIEW

The Pictorial Review recently
printed an article which in some
measure explains the present short
ness of womens skirts which fact
seems to so greatly disturb the mind
of the sterner sex. Here is is YER
batim:
why do men worry so about the
disappearance of womens skirts?
Skirts are shortening and narrowing
until it is quite evident that they'll
be gone altogether If something
doesn't halt their shrinkage. But
why should the men object so strenu-
ously? They left off skirts ages ago
Evoluted out of them, so to speak
The ancient Celts wore skirts. The
Teutons paraded around in an out
landish species of one-piece dress,
and the old Romans staggered about
in enveloping draperies, AS civiliza-
ton developed and men had to get
about faster, TO say nothing of hop
ping in and out OF chariots, they be-
gan to discard superfluous wrappings
Perhaps they dimly foresaw the mod
ern subway rush, and wanted TO be
suitably clothed for 1t. Anyhow,
their draperies grew scantier and
narrower, until finally-trousers
It's too bad they worry so about
our cunning. sensible short skirts
Don't they know imitation is the sin
cerest flattery?"

Section three of Article two of the
Constitution of the United States pro-
vides that the President shall from
time 10 time give to the Congress
information of the state of the Union,
and recommend to their consideration
such measures as he shall judge nee
essary and expedient" BY virtue of
that authority President Wilson ap-
pearcd before Congress and stated
his views on matters facing the Ma
tion. BY virtue OF that same au-
thority President Harding appeared
before the Senate sand urged the nom
passage of the soldiers bonus bill.
Regardless of whether one favored
that legislation or not, il must be con-
celed that Mr.. Harding acted entirely
within his rights when he plead for
economy and urged the upper House
TO stay it's activities in behalf of the
former service men. Therefore the at
tacks which Senator Borah and Sena-

Harding because of his action were
out OF place. while Senator Lodge was
right in defending the Chief Execu-

WHAT A PEACEi

In his message to Congress April
IL President Harding said:
The wiser course would seem to be
the acceptance 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 satisfactorily accom-
plished by such explicit reservations
and notifications as will secure our
absolute freedom in advisable COM
mtments and safeguard all our es-
sential interests"
Then. after making such a state
ment 10 the Nation, not only was no
effort made to engage under the eS-
listing treaty" but a few unknown
plenipotentiaries were secyetly dis
,satched 10 Germany, there to devise
a secret treaty with that power, which
was promulgated this morning. Thus
did the United States of America cast
overheard its associates in the late
war. and start the peace journey alone.
This peace is not a triumph OF the
Harding administration. 1t is a dis
grace to the United States. while

whom we surrended in diplomacy.

Other diplomats were then dispatched

States out of the Versailles agreement
Germany has succeeded. The fact re

no interest in the Versailles treaty
nor can we protest if Germany fail
in every obligation made TO the Allies

THE SAILING SHIP
From the New York Times

Joseph Conrad laments the pass
ing of the old sailing ship. but the
pressure of the fuel problem bids fair
10 bring it back. High cost of opera
ton is the main obstacle to the de-
yelopment of the suddenly acquired
American merchant marine. The de-
mand Is for larger merchantmen with
smaller crews. This is met largely by
the American type of super schooner
with five. six and even seven masts,
and an equipment of steam steering
and hosting gear. Even in speed these
schooners often show clean pair of
heels TO many freight steamers. The
old clipper ships occasionally made
better time than the stea mers. But
the new Yankee schooners Of FIVE to
seven masts have far Outs,ripped the
clippers. Furthermore, many of
these super-schooners carry Auxiliary
power for use in zones OF calm or
against head winds.
All tod, the advantages~0f the sail
ing ship. with modern labor saving
devices. contrasting with the difficult
ties that the steamer incurs from the
passing Of the era of cheap fuel and
cheap labor, have led practical sea-
faring men to predict more and more
stoutly since the war a return Of the
sailing ship to its old predominance
as a freight carrier. Coal and oil
must be saved fos the navy.
A design was presented not long
ago, at q meeting of the Institution Of
Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scot
land. for one of these super-schooners.
with minimum requirements Of crew
and fuel, as a solution Of the present
shipping situation. The design in

steel wire rope for. all running gear,
led to an independent drum. and
motor winches operated by electric
switches from the quarterback. A
feathering propeller, when, wind fails.
and always supply electric light, neat
and power throughout the ship. The
author of this design is a progressive
naval architect and yacht designer
who served an apprenticeship in this
country under Herrehoff, and in offer
| ing this model he asserted the eco
aomici necessity of reviving the wide
use of the sailing ship.
Wind is the one thing that has not
changed in price. The old clipper
ships were capable Of 1s to Is knots
an hour. being thus above the speed
of the average steam freighter of to-
day The new super-schooners, with
the auxiliary equipment proposed
would be much faster. A deck watch
consisting of the officer, who viii

REED ALSO SERVES.

The House of Representatives, by
a vote of ISL to Z, and without debate,
censured Senator Reeds attack upon
Representative yolstead, and requested
that the Senate rebuke the Missourian
for his remarks. The worst thing
that Mr.. Reed did was to liken the
author of the yolstead act TO those
who have led in fanatical erusades,
the burners of witches, the execution
ers who applied the torch to perse-
cution." The House acted from GER
tain well-defined motives. But II Is
not likely that the Senate will do more
than bury the lower body's resolution
in some committees obscure pigeon
holes.
We do not seek TO condone Mr..
Reeds remarks. They seem to be a
bit out OF taste in group OF men
who have not been. extremely noted
for their own moral courage within
the past few years. II Mr.. Reed was
IN a body of his intellectual peers. his
remarks would go unnoticed. But
unfortunately the majority OF men
about him are mental mediocrities,
who can lay no claim 10 statesmanship,
/ and who therefore become frightened
| when he shakes his battle axe.
BY all this we would not place the
| Missourian on a pedestal. That Is
the last place that we would like to
see him. He Is too temperamental
too headstrong, and above all else
too ihdividualistic for his age. On
more occasions than we care 90 recall
he has spoiled the Democratic party's
plans. and the Republicans will admit
that he is a worse hornet in action
than Senator Pat Harrison OF Mis-.
sissippi who also hath timber tongue
But we believe that il is. a good thfns

mentality in the Senate. Because O
his acuteness. he forces his opponent
to present 20 the public their bes
reasons for considering any giver
piece OF legislation. Occasionally h
exposes sham and fraud, to the coun
try's gain. Seldom If ever does h
make fool of himself. which is al
indication of the mans ability; bu
quite frequently he exposes the pre-
lenses Of his opponents to their cha
grin. Mr.. Reed also serves, thoug
not in a strictly orthodox manner.
