Reputation as a Man Of Some
Eccentric Doings.

One Of the new members Of the

garded as somewhat eccentric per-
son, was a continual source Of aston
ishment aboard a transport on her trip
to the bomb dropping experiments of
the Virginia capes. Examining an in

informed 1t was n range finder, he in
quired how far 1t would shoot. Be-
ing loaned a telescope to make a bet
ter examination Of the battleship Iowa,
he looked through the big end instead
Of the little one and then complained
he could not see anything. He fol-
lowed this with a denunciation Of a
naval policy which permitted the pur-
chase Of such useless things. H

Improved Lawn Mower.

A lawn mower that will successful
~ cut the grass on the incline of a
terrace and that will not require its
operator to pull 1t up and down, nor
run up and down the grass bank him
self, is described in Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. In construction the
new device does not differ greatly
from the old-style lawn mower In
stead of the stationary handle, the
new machine has a pivoted handle
set on toothed quadrant. BY lifting
a stop pin from between the teeth Of
the quadrant, and setting 1t to the
desired point, the mower is brought
into an angular position relative to
the operator, SO that he can cut n
lengthwise swath on the slope with
out leaving the ground level.

CHANGED POLICY,

For some reason, not yet fully ex,
planned, the administration has made
an overnight-change in it's foreign pol.
icy. The decision to have American
representation on the, supreme coun.
ell and the Preparations commission
was doubtless due to the insistence of
Secretary OF State Hughes, who. it ap-
pears, is going to be secretary in fact
as we'll as in name. While the policy
that is being pursued by Secretary
Hughes is in line with that of the Will
son administration it is being reached
in wholly different manner. Mr. Will
son was his own secretary of state.
Mr.. Hughes appears to be the actual
spokesman for the administration in
It's relations with other nations.
1t would be inaccurate to say that
the policy Of the administration is a
step toward internationalism. 1t is
mot but simply recognition of the OBJ
legations and duties of America in
peace as they were recognized in war.
The representation of America in the
councils OF the allies Is not an zen.
tangling alliance" in any sense of the
word. But American interests for
which she made great sacrifices in the
war should be protected, and more
over having Joined the allied powers
in largely remaking the map of Europe
and imposing indemnities and repara,
tons upon the conquered nations could
not In good faith wholly abandon the
allies. In the light of Secretary
Hughes well known and oft expressed
opinion on the Versailles treaty it is
not to be expected that he would con-
sent to policy that would reflect upon
these views.
Naturally the policy announced by
the administration of continued co.
operation with the allies will ALLEVIATE
from the support of the President the
radical senators like Borah and John.
son and LaFollette. But they would
doubtless have left the administra-
ton sooner or later on local issues.
There is little in common between the
staid conservatism and Mckinley re.
ley republicanism Of Harding and
Hughes and the radicalism of Johnson
and company ..,
1t will be heartening to democrat
and all Americans concerned for the
peace of the world and the interna.
tional obligations of America to know
that this country is not going to pur-
sue the policy of isolation indicated
in some Of the utterances of the Pres.
ident. 500. ....z.a. .... .......

SEPARATE PEACE,

Passage Of the joint resolution re.
,ealing the declaration of war with
Germany, stripped of all it's surplus
.ges and reservations simply means
hat America is making separate
'eace with Germany. 1t means that
n the future she expects to leave her
eroic allies and to assume none of
he responsibilities and obligations of
'eace. 1t is sad and tragic chapter
write in an otherwise honorable re.
ord that America has made since the
declaration of war. Senators and rep
esentatives voted for the resolution
Who had voted for the declaration OF
war and who two years ago and less
declared that separate peace with
iermany would be Infamous. The res.
lution did not represent the senti-
nent of the great majority of real
americans; it did not represent the
lonest convictions OF many who vot.
d for It, It was passed because the
epublican majority, drunk with an ex.
'ess of power, agreed upon it.
The passage of the resolution not
1nly Is an act Of perfidity, but it ends
Ill hope of Americas entrance into
The league of nations with or without
my reservations. That Is unfortu.
,ate. While The Herald has never
,een enamored OF the covenant as
written, 1t did believe that there was
much more Of good than of bad in IL
md that America should form some
association with the victorious powers
n the late war that would make more
secure peace for the future.
When the senate, more than a year
ago declined to ratify the peace treaty
with the Lodge reservations The Her
aid then declared that the last hope
of Americas entering an association
of nations and of the ratification of
the Versailles treaty was gone. Il
was one of those remarkable incidents
of American politics that the ratifica.
ton OF the Versailles peace pact
should have been defeated by a combi.
nation Of bitter ender" and impaca.
