Borah Wins Fight
Administration Abandons Its Stand
Against His Amendment

Against His Amendment
washington, May 1s. The Ad-
ministration Unexpectedly abandoned
today its fight aeaisnt the Borah dis
armament amendment pending in the
Senate in connection with the $780,
100000 Naval bill.
Indications are that the amend
ment requesting President Harding
to open negotiations with Great Brl-
tain and Japan for an agreement to
curtail naval building will be adopted
with very little opposition. Ihe
House, in all probability, will asree
to it promptly with tn" Admin'stra-
ton ban removed.
The Administration sudden change
of attitude created some surprise IN
the Senate, although t is believed
that the Presidents purpose to have
Ambassador Harvey approach the
subject of disarmament before the
Supreme Council may nave had some
thing to do with a change in tbs
Administration viewpoint.
Numerous disarmament amend
ments to the Naval bill were offered
in the House, but leaders prevailed
upon members to vote them down on
he nlea that they would embarrass
President Harding in the direction
of international affairs. When the
bill reached the Senate, Senator Bo-
rah promptly reoffered his amend
ment and gave notice that he would
move to suspend the rules to make It
in order. Senator Poindexter, of
Washington. acting chairman. of the
Naval Affairs Committee, conferred
with President Harding, and announ
ced that the President wanted an alb
solutely free hand in the initiation of
foreign policy. Several days later
the naval committee rejected the
Borah amendment.
It became apparent il the last few
days that considerable number of
Republican Senator'S, in. conjunction
with almost all the Democrats, were
determined to support the measure.
Furthermore. some Of the strongest
Administration support .rs made no
ccncealment Of tie embarrassment
they would feel were thev compelled
to vote agaisnt indentically the same
measure which they supported in the
last hours of the Wilson administra-
ton. 70
Senator Poindexter wrote to the.
President describing the: situation:
He declined to say what reply he
had received, but he made this. stsse
ment:
q have not received anything "
dicating any. need or reason for max
ing point of order against or np-
posing the Borah resolution or amend
n1ent. which is the same as the nrs
adopted in the last Congress-. Pc

Moving To And
From Canada

Our Canadian cousins are gloat
ing very freely over the immigra
ton during the last year from
the United States to Canada.
They say $4,000 of us have gone
over the line to settle and that
we took over $17, 100000 of wealth
with US.
Maybe so. But when we look
up our own immigration figures.
it appears that. up to about Oct.
ober /, something over 10000
Canadians hiked over to the
United States with their worldly
goods. At best, the loss of this
country is about 10000 people,
which is only one in every ten
thousand of our population. You
can quickly estimate how serious
he loss is when you reflect on
what it means when one person
moves away from town of 10000
inhabitants.
incidentally, the 10000 net
that we lost to Canada is Just
about the number of people who
moved from onl, one western
state to California last fall
Canada is fine country, If you
can stand the climate and oul
neighbors over RI re are a fine
lot of people, We begrudge then
nothing.

DANIELS OBJECTS .TO SCRAPPNG NAVY

Annapolis, Md, Feb. There
will be no scrapping of the navy
at least in the near future, and per-
haps not at ALL" Secretary of the
Navy Daniels said in a brief address
here tonight to the Young Mems
Christian Association branch, COM
posed of midshipmen of the Naval
Academy. Practically all of the e.
900 students of the regiment, be-
sides many officers attached to the
local station and members of their
families, heard the address.
Secretary Daniels told the mid
shipmen not to be alarmed at the
tales of there being mo navy" and
that the largest battleships and 9TH
er craft soon would be done away
with and supplanted by air-fighting
craft.
Sees Urgent Need Now
"There is greater need now than
ever before for a big navy and a
strong navy, both on, over and I'M
der the sea-" Daniels said. "The
navy is to the nation what the gulf
stream is to the ocean," the Secre-
tary declared. "True they are separ-
ate and distinct bodies" he contin-
ued," but each is part of the great
whole"
Speaking of the navy and the point
of view of citizenship, Mr.. aDniels
urged the midshipmen to see large
visions of what constitutes the Amer
lean citizenship saying that the navy
is profession, but no more so than

TEXAS RANCH A PALACE

Mrs. Henrietta M. King, owner of
the 1,280,000-acre ranch upon which
Kingsville was located, has perhaps
entertained more distinguished men
and women than any ranch woman in
this country. In paying homage to
the visitors she is always assisted by
her son-in-laws, Robert ]. Kleberg,
and Mrs. Kleberg. The latest not
able callers at the beautiful country
home of Mrs. King and the Kleberge
was President-elect Warren G. Hard
ing. Among other men and women
of national note who have been
guests at this ranch home are form
er President William H. Taft, Col
onel and Mrs. w. ]. Bryan, Cabinet
officers, United States Senators, rail-
road presidents, bankers and men of
large industrial affairs.
Mrs. King is home body. She
has travelled comparatively little, de.
spite her wealth. She possesses
however, personal acquaintance
with notable people of the country
that is perhaps exceeded by few per.
sons. Her husband, the late Capt
Richard King, was pioneer ranch
man of the lower border region OF
the state and the vast domain thai
now composes the highly improved
ranch was acquired by him many
years ago when land was worth lit.
tie. In the early days the origina
ranch home was provided with de
tense against Mexican bandits, port
holes for guns being a necessary
part of the house.
The present ranch home is VERT
able mansion. 1t was built a few
years ago and is said to have cost
including its furnishings, about TIVE
hundred thousand dollars.

other professions.
Secretary Daniels pointed to a dan
ger concerning traditions, and urged
his hearers not to be bound by the
traditions as set down by the great
naval heroes, Nelson Jones and
Dewey. Traditional spirit is not a
fixed rule, he said, but the engin-
eer officer and great hero must 90
forward and make his own traditions.
He said the times are unlike the days
of John Paul Jones, when an Off
Ger could board ship and fight
hand to hand, but that the courage
and spirit remain the same.
Says Morals Make Morale
Secretary aDniels also spoke of
Morale" term which, he said, had
been much overlooked. Morale"
he said, sis nothing more than high
morals" He said that there could
De no better bedrock for character
than high thought and clean living,
and that unless these are preserved
there can be no more morale. 4
The visit of Secretary Daniels to-
day marked his last to the Academy
for in little more than four weeks
he will retire from the Wilson Cab
met, and he grew somewhat remin.

son-in-law, Lockhart.
Ii is In the very variety and extent
of the studies of Lincoln's character
that the strength of his hold on the
Imagination of the world Is shown.
Fifty-six years have passed since
he met his tragic death. Through Az
that period the interpretations OF MS
aracter-historica analytical. po-
etical-have steadily increased In num-
her. The bare facts of his unique,
yet strangely typical and Significant
career. arrange themselves In per-
spectiye like the acts of a great up
lifting tragedy. II he had lived in the
days when myths were made, 1t is
easy to imagine that in the process
of time he would have grown into
great mythical figure, King Arthur
of the New World, half-divine hero
like those that we associate with the
most distant antiquity.
But he belonged to no such period.
His age is one of the most amply re-
corded in all history, and the records
of his life are so intertwined with
those of men and events quite with
out poetic or heroic suggestion, that
his feet can never be wholly removed
| from the earth. Indeed, it Is much
better that no such possibility exists
We need to know that out of our COM
mon life can spring so extraordinary
an example of the development OF
which our human nature is capable.
When all Is said and done, when his
wisdom, his patience, his sacrifice are
fully remembered, we shall delight
pre-eminentIy to recall him as the
friendly, humorous accessible lover of
| mankind.-Y0uth's Companion.

VOLUME. 8

A recent writer on Lincoln as
slower of mankind" has likened him
TO two other great men who have be-
come common possession Of our
Anglo-Saxon race. Although they
seem almost as far separated from
each other as from Lincoln himself,
both Chaucer and Sir Walter Scott
reveal to the careful observer the
qualities that provoked comparison
apparently so remote. These are the
qualities Of a lover Of mankind.
Chaucer displayed them in depict
ing, with sympathy for all, the group
of widely various characters who made
their immortal Canterbury Pilgrimage
together. Scott displayed them not
only through the creatures of his i'm
aginatiOn, but also in his recorded re-
lations with all his fellow beings. In
that respect Chaucer is at a disad-
vantage. because he lived long before
biography had attained anything like
its modern abundance. Lincoln later
