We do not know what this means
but Mr. Harding does not know either.
50 We are at no disadvantage In dis
cussing it. one thing IS fairly evident.
The moment Mr.. Harding begins 10

has produced a new treaty. It VIII not

IN order to give 1t validity il must be

As it happens. the German govern
ment is practically in the hands OF a re-

Germany Mr. Harding must also do
business with the receiver. Instead Of
escaping commitments he Is pluus-
ing the United States headlong into COM
plications the nature OF which neither
he nor anybody else can clearly foresee.
The foreign policy that he has outlined
bears no true relation To the dignity, the
welfare or the responsibilities of the
United States and carries no recognition
of the place that the United States
should occupy in the councils OF the
nations. 1t IS 4 miserable makcshift

GUN T0TING.

Several limit sentences were given
the other day for gun toting. Judge
Morgan announced that every man
brought before him guilty of carrying
concealed weapons would get the limit,
This is sixty days imprisonment and
fine Of $500.
We assume the judges declaration is
not unreserved but refers to cases IN
themselves suspicious and suggestive Of
possible criminality. Crime conditions
and the weaknesses Of our criminal ad-
ministra ton are such as to make
strong case TOR the decent citizen who
feels il necessary 10 provide bis own
protection from attack. But an intelll-
gent judge can discriminate and at the
same time make it expensive for
toughs to carry guns.
The constructive remedy, however, is
presented by Superintendent of Police
Fitzmorris who is sponsoring bills now
on their way TO passage in the legis-
lature, providing that the punishment
for murder, manslaughter. robbery with
a gun. kidnapping. and rape shall be not
less than life. ana that no parole IN such
cases shall be granted within ten Years.

A lonely dog along the way, I'd let him

And fnthe day with happiness from

 2" or. The story of the tragedy thut caused him not to marry was brought out during the debate In the house of representatives on motion to erect a monument to Buchanan in Washington. Gen. Isaac k. Sherwood of Ohio told the story as he heard It from friend of Buchanan's at the White House forty years ago.
 'In his youth James Buchanan's heart was won by the charms of the beautiful Miss Anna c. Coleman, who. like himself, resided in Lancaster, Pa., said General Sherwood. "They were soon betrothed and were counted the handSomest couple in all the country around. Some time after the engage ment had been announced Mr Buchan- an was obliged to 20 out of town on a business trip. On his return he stopped in to see a Mrs. William Jen- kins, who was entertaining a Miss Oracle Hubley, daughter of General Huhley, an officer of the revolutionary war.
 "A gossiping young woman told Miss Coleman of Mir. Buchanan's visit and aroused her jealousy. On the spur or the moment she penned an angry note and released him from his engagement. A short time after this incideRt party was arranged to go to Philadelphia to attend an opera. Miss Coleman was included in the invitation, and on ar irving at Philadelphia, on a plea of in disposition, remained at the hotel. on their return from the opera Miss Cole man was found dead. She had killed herself. This broke James Buchanans heart, and he never married and never loved another woman"

Amerlcanisnns in Britain.

Lord Derby, in advising us not to get rattled," has added another word to our war vocabulary, or, at any rate, given an old word a new meaning. In this sense "rattled" is an Americanism, and we remember reading an article by W. D. Howells some thirty years ago, In which he said he was not very cas- fly rattled. Of course we have used The word in this country with other meanings for many centuries; even Pepys relates on one occasion how he ,attled his wife, but that was more in the nature of grumbling, while Lord Derby evidently intends us not to get alarmed or excited, which is the real American sense of the word.-London Chronicle.

EVER STAMP WHITE HORSES?
Peculiar Childish Idea Which May Bring Back Old Days to Some

 "Tll stamp 'em both she added, and proceeded to lick her thumb and Jam 1t into a soiled pink palm. Twice over It had to be done, with eyes fixed upon the approaching team.
 "Whv stamp them?" inquired the stranger.
 "Why, don't you know? When stamp hundred I'll find something Found q penny last time"
 Just then the newspaper boy arrived with his sack, and as he took the money from the wooden bench. a penny rolled toward the gutter. The unkempt little figure swayed on its single skate. A frown of disapproval followed the boys industrious search While the pennies were in the bag on the bench, they were property and to he respected But it was plain to any one with eyes that a lost penny be- longed to the finder-in the code of the little girl.
 When it was picked up and dropped into the boys pocket, she turned to the sympathetic bystander, Don't you hate hoys with freckles?" she asked "Besides, I'd only stamped leven Wait till I get 'nuther hundred.'
