CIRCULATION WEEK END1Ne.sEPT. 17th, 1921

OPPOSING THE TRrArY.

W1th the administration calling for Shs early ratification. .of the treaty with Germany announcement to the effect that Senator Borah will oppose it makes r evident that he should be heard. If he has anything to disclose that will show it is not for the best interests of ths country to ra9ffy it now is the time 70 reveal it
 The opposition seems to be based upon the fact that there has been an endorsement of certain features of the Versailles treaty in the treaty with Germany. The western senator has been one of the nos rabid opponents of the Versailles document but it is to Dc rezIzet that while some others in he senate have stood with him it would have been possible long ago to have nouhed the Versailles treaty had Pres hsnt Wilson consented to notifications. Those -lodifcstions would have insured The safeguards that 1t was believed this country was entitled to. Thus in the negotiation of the treaty between this country and Germany the effort has been made 10 preserve such advantag ges and ric1,s as accrue 70 the United States unde- the Versailles treaty and Co exclude those that are considered detrimental and which made it impos- Eoie 70 secure approval of tho Yer sal les ract
 The present administration has been .ansful Co see that what was guaran- tssd to us under tre Versailles treaty ls assured under the new agreement. Liksw-se it believes that it has ex- ciuded the undesirable features. Pos ably Senator Eo-ah can convince the senate that tho treaty which has the endorsement of Secretary Hughes of tae state department is something this country doesn't want 10 have anything io 5o with. Perhaps he can point out sore tcrri5is pitfalls That at least weulG seem 70 be his aim from the an. rou-ceS opposition. Certainly it is tc be hoped that he has ether purpose hau simply Co dolav the ratification ns this agreement n Is no time fol tactics that are bent simply upon ob stracton. and !f that proves to be th. case there is Tttle reason to believe that ir will get any great amount ot support.

LESSON "
Aceidpnts to Pedestrians


 When a child is hurt it is because the child has his mind fixed on some thing else than taking care of him. self
 He is playing tag, chasing a ball or running his toy wagon or sled in the street. The automobile driver knows this and is unusually careful when the child is in sight. So when he can see the child even a short dis tance away he looks out for him; but the child may jump into the street from behind something, perhaps a parked car, CT may drop off an ice wagon or slow moving vehicle in the path of the automobile so quickly as to make the pronptest and most wig orous action useless to prevent hitting him. The same is true, Of course, of grown men and women, but in a lesser degree. A grown man or woman in a highway often takes a chance on pur- pose. Ninety nine times this is all right but the hundredth is killed. Bad weather has much to do with pedistri-

On Wall Of Narrow

Duke OF Chesterfield" convicted
iorger, waiting out a | TO 20-yeat
sentence in the Dodge county jail
has transferred his talents from the
pen to the brush. On the wall oi
his little 6xJ cell. with only the light
that filters in through narrow
barred window. the imprisoned En-
glishman wields his brush from dawn
to darkness.
His masterpicce-his version OF
the Virgin Mary and the iniant--a
half length portrait. is taking form
on the steel wall OF his cell instead
OF the usual canvas and easel. The
painting is patterned after the ia
nous portrait by Leonardo de Vinci,
now hanging in the Louvre gallery
at Paris. To secure money TO buy
his paints and brushes, Chesterfield
is selling table decorations done in
oil. His wares are attracting much
attention among those acquainted
with the unique art market, who
patronize the imprisoned genius lib
orally.
His small cell is crowded with
tumblers OF paint brushes. tubes and
other paraphernalia peculiar to an
artist Instead OF the live models,
Chesterfield has recruited pictures
OF stage and screen beauties from
magazines, and uses these to gain
his inspirations.
Questioned as to why he chose
the Virgin Mary for the subject OF
his picture, Chesterfield, glancing re-
morsefully about his narrow, un-
,hcerful cell, sighed. Perhaps the
picture will be All inspiration TO the
uext man who comes in here and
it may lead him to o=a better life

The so.called duke shows every
trace of reformation. From a surly.
sarcastic prisoner who was watched
continually and suspected by his jail
ers after three UNSUCCESSFUL attempts
to escape. he has changed TO docilc
character with full confidence OF Jail
officials. He diregarded an opportu-
nifty recently to gain his freedom
with two other prisoners, who found
their way out Of Jail in the dead OF
night through ventilator shaft.
