THE GERMAN TREATY.

The drafting of treaty with Germany was a
short horse soon curried" The treaty will asonish
the public for its brevity.
We reserve all the benefits of the Versailles
traety, but assume of It's responsibilities This
is probably good place to begin but 1t would be
an unworthy place to stop We should be safe in our
primary position, but should shir responsible
ity which belongs to
That the treaty is the beginning and not the
end is shown by the calling Of the disarmament con-
ference by President Harding. He merely has de-
cined in the treaty to assume any wholesale and
underlined responsibilities He doubtless intends to
assume, one by one, the burdens which mature de-
liberation shows to belong to
Rome not built in day." The world-situa-
tion has been long in the making. 1t cannot be
cured by the stroke of PEN The situation is largely
psychological. Unrest national traditions and
hatreds, selfish national ambitions and vast array
Of complicated mental currents, make the sit
uatlon very difficult and hazardous We should move
cautously-but should move If decade or two
can solve world-problems growing out Of the
war, the world will be moving very fast indeed for a
decade is but dot on the eternal line Of history.

A WOMAN DELEGATE.

Women leaders in the country are pressing for a
woman delegate at the disarmament conference
Alice Robertson, congresswoman, says that If they
win show her a qualified woman. she will support
her for the place This sounds sensible Insisting upon
a woman representative, merely on the ground of sex
representation, is absurd.
Women are now on parity with men as citi-
zens While the social courtesies due SEX will al
ways be extended to women by mere men, political
courtesies not be expected for long. Instead of
emphasizing in politics. the line should be OBJ
liberated II this is not done the line will finally
become marked as the Mason and Dixon line, fol-
lowing the civil Due to centuries of political
training the part of men, the women would be
the political sufferers from a conflict.
Besides. 1t would be very bad thing for democ-
pointments should not be made Merit should decide
This does not signify the Journals opposition to
a woman on this commission There may be a
woman whose technical training and experience en-
titles her to place. If she be found, her ap-
pointment is highly proper
There is another angle. Heart and conscience
should enter this conference. Cold intelligence and
heartless intrigue will hardly solve international
problems international good-feeling and confidence
is essential to disarmament Perhaps the presence of
a woman on the delegation would promote harmony
and goodwill, and aid in solution although she
were less informed the technical questions in
volved than her brothers.

You know how 1t Is with a woman and Audrey
seems to be true to her sex. Things may have been
going bit slow and she may have been a trfle dis
couraged A little advertising to hven the situation
might do good, she may have thought. Conse-
quently she let it slip that she would be pleased to
marry the perfect man. OF Every man is per-

thinks she get, when she marries him. If there is

alone will do She is not to be had for the asking.

carried on in the old way. The Texas cowboys may
think they are perfect but Audrey may be able to
cite several points on which they are below the

We were discouraged over Audrey at first. We
thought she too eager Now she has got on the

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
THE SPEED DEMON.
fFrom the Cincinnati En-

(From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
There Is a lust for speed just there other
hurtfu and devouring lusts of the body and spirit.
1t is just announced that German inventor
operating in Holland, has produced airplane
which has made record of 312 miles an hour. That
means that such machine could fly from Germany
to America in day! Incredible this claim may
appear, have no right to dispute 1t. This is the
age of mechanical marvels.
The ship which makes appear petty even
the story of the Flying Carpet in the Oriental mag
mary tale includes the features of vertical ascent
among other wonderful new properties.
From France comes the that number of
monoplanes, possessed of engines of anything up
to 600 horsepower, easily attain speed Of 220 miles
hour These could be left practically standing by
the new German flier.
What effect is such development to have on the
question of disarmament? France particularly.
scarcely is to be blamed for nclining to reliance
defensive military operations. Doubtless her inventors
will duplicate the German super-machne. And then
what? Why the rest of us must follow suit suffer
from such Incompatible disadvantage.
No matter what altruistic statesmen, gentle pa
cifists or burdened taxpaying millions may say or
feel or do In the matter of disarmament. men will
continue to fight
But the speed demon is an alluring devil. Men
desire to annihate distance Men of peace are as
easily bitten by this urge as are the men of war.
Business will and adventure will enlarge,
passions both good and evil will befriend the speed
demon and strive for remarkable construc-
tons.
But will the world be happier or better off than
in the days of the runner, the courier. the stage
coach? Not at all. The almost universal response to
the urge OF the speed demon is and will continue to
be. an evil obsession.

Down y, the road came
the fuzzy Fox!

"I'll get you now! You can't get
away l can ride faster than you
can hop!" And down the road
came the Fuzzy Fox on bicycle!
Well, Uncle Wiggily started TO
run. but the Fox on his bike could
come along much faster, and he
was almost going to catch the bum
ny rabbit gentleman. when, all of
a sudden, another voice cried:
Now brothers, this is our chance
to help Uncle Wiggily!"
With that, out from the bushes
came hundreds of tortoises. They
placed themselves in and across
the road, drew their heads, legs
and tails inside their shells and
there they sat, like lot of stones.
And the Fox, riding fast, steered
his bicycle among a lot Of the
tortise stones. They got under his
wheels and he was upset, thrown
head over paws in a somersault,
and bumped his nose so hard that
he cried: Wow! Wow! Wow!"
three times. just like that.
And of course he didn't catch
Uncle Wiggily, for when the bicy-
Gle tumbled over one wheel was
smashed. And as the bicycle
wheels were light they didn't hurt
the tortoises by riding over them.
THANK you very much!" cried
the bunny rabbit to the tortoises
as he hoped safely away and they
crawled back to their holes. So
everything was all right. you see,
and If the rain washes the faces
of the pansy flowers nice and clean
