RIohts of State Disreearded.

"Under the terms Of the present
transportation act states have practi-
cally no rights" So the South Caro-
lima railroad commission, writing to
Senator Robert NJ La Toilette to in
dorse a number of bill proposed by
the Wisconsin senator to restrict and
curb the authority of the interstate
commerce commission, epitomizes the
case against the transportation act
which practically gives the interstate
commerce commission full authority
in both interstate and intrastate rate
matters.

MYTH that treaty out Of its way,
Wv the conference resumed cOnsid-

WITH that treaty out Of Its way
" the conference resumed consid-
Grafton of the naval reduction and
limitation plan. The Japanese plead
ell earnestly to be permitted to retain
tlleir new pet dreadnaught, the Mutsu.
For several days the Americans held
out against this, but finally 1t was
agreed to, with the understanding that,
to maintain the 5-5-3 ratio, the Amerl-
can navy should retain the super
dreadnaughts Colorado and Washing
ton in place Of the Delaware and the
North Dakota, and that Great Britain
should retain two Of the new Hood
type battleships already planned. But
those Hood vessels as designed would
be more powerful than either the Col
orado or the Mutsu class, so 1t was
suggested that they should not be
built any larger than the Colorado.
This plan was accepted by all and
the naval agreement was formally an
nounced to, the conference. The pact
includes the provision that there shall
be no increases In Notifications and
naval bases in the Pacific region, in
cluding the British case and fortifica-
tions at HongkOng and Kow Loon.
This restriction does not apply to the
Hawaiian islands, Australia, New Zea-
land, and Japan proper, nor TO the
coasts Of the United States and Cam

China's delegation stepped forward
again on Wednesday with formal plea
to the Far Eastern committee for
the abrogation of the treaties grow
ing out Of the twenty-one demands
of Japan in 1915, which China says
she was forced to accept. BY these
treaties Japan retains her hold on
Shantung and Aanchuria. The Jap
anese delegates quickly and sharply
objected to the Chinese proposal and
the committee adjourned sine die.
Meanwhile the negotiations between
the Japanese and Chinese outside the
conference are continuing, the latter
putting forward q plan by which Chi
nese bankers propose to purchase from
Japan the ownership and control Of
the Shantung railroad-the nub Of the
whole controversy over that province.
1t was said the Japanese had so far
receded from their original claims for
retention 81 half, ownership that they
were nov willing to give up the road,
with certain reservations concerning
the methods and security for payment,
and also preferential rights of invest
ment. These rights might result In
giving the Japanese actual control Of
the management, but China realizes
that she cannot get all she asks.
The members Of the conference evil
Ta hnk
for, China now Is to adopt a new bill
Of rights" for her which will enable
her to organize stable functioning
government, and that to such govern
ment may be left many Of the coun-
try's problems and troubles.
To further compllcate the Chinese
problem came from the soviet govern
ment Of Russia a protest against dis
cussion Of the Chinese Eastern rail-
way by the conference. The road,
which Is Of immense strategic and
economic Importance to Russia, China
and Japan, was built by Russia and
legally speaking belongs to Russia.
For several years 1t has been managed
by an interallied board whose chair
man is John F. Stevens Of America.
Both the United States and Japan
have spent large sums on the upkeep
Of the line.
Secretary Hughes made public the
main points Of the agreement entered
into between the United States and
Japan concerning Yap and the other
islands north of the equator assigned
to Japan by the treaty of Versailles.
It confers upon the United States
equal privileges with Japan in all
those islands but imposes on 1t no
obligations or responsibilities.

D RITISH and French statesmen and
- fnanciers have not yet been able
to come to anything like agreement
concerning the German reparations,
and from both countries come unoffi-
cial but insistent calls to America
to take part in the discussions. The
hope is expressed daily that President
Harding will call another conference
to handle this problem and that Of
world finances generally. Meantime
the senate finance committee Is fuss
ing with the administrations foreign
loan refunding bill and trying to do
things to 1t which Secretary Of the
Treasury Mellon does not like. He
especially objected to proposed pro-
vision requiring foreign nations to
make payments Of interest on their
indebtedness to the United States
semi-annually. He said this would
seriously handicap negotiations for re-
funding the loans.

Governor Paroles TWO.

CT. Winn, convicted Of manslaugh-
ter in Saluda county during the past

his good behavior by the governor.
Winn is reported to be seriously sick
and the governor paroled him until
April Is, 1922

favored ratification, and they felt
equally certain that If the question
were referred to a plebisclte, as De
Valera might ask, large majority
Of the people of southern Ireland
would vote for acceptance Of the
peace terms.
The opposition in the British parlia-
ment was voiced In the house Of lords
by Lord Edward Carson and in the
commons by Capt. Charles Craig,
brother of the Ulster premier. AL
ready the Ulster cabinet had sent word
to London that Ulster would not enter
the Irish Free State, and it protested
bitterly against the making Of an Ir-
ish agreement without its consent.
1t charged that the treaty violates the
word of King George and Premier
Lloyd George. In the Ulster note ex-
ception was taken also to the boun-
dary commission plan, 1t being con-
tended that to remove territory from
any government without that govern
ment's consent Is without precedent.
Over here In America a lot of the
professional Irish, like Justice Cohalan
Of New. York, are wildly denounclng
the treaty. Just what they want us
to do about it-whether to weep, or to
declare war against England-they
have not yet stated.

GOVERNOR HARDING Of the fed
" eral reserve board, whose annual
report was made public last week, Is
fairly optimistic. He says basic busi-
ness and financial conditions through
out the country have improved greatly
during the past year, though normalcy
Is yet to be attained.
Until the purchasing power OF the
farmer improves" he continued, 1T
will, Of course, be idle to look for any
rapid or substantial improvement In

THE United Mine Workers Of Amer
L lea Won a partial victory on
Thursday when the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals at Chicago found
Judge Anderson of indianapolis was In
error in enjoining the operation of the
"checkoff" system and remanded the
case back to him for rehearing. This
action Of the Court of Appeals was be-
lieved to have prevented a general
strike Of coal miners, already started
in Indiana and Illinois.
Wives Of the striking coal miners Of
Kansas, followers of the discredited
and expelled Howat, were the leaders
of mobs In the Pittsburg region which
fiercely attacked miners who wished to
work and raised such trouble generally
that state troops were sent there.

d REPRESENTATIVES. Of $4,000 rail-
N way maintenance of way and
shop laborers met in New York and
voted to reject any wage reduction pro-
posals and to appeal to the railway la
Dor board for increases in pay. Two
days later that board dealt the main
tenance Of way men a hard blow In
new rules 1t promulgated. Under this
decision time and half rates are to
be paid after the tenth hour of work
instead of after the eighth hour as un-
der the old national working agree
ment. The "basic" eight-hour day,
however, Is reaffirmed; but the new
rules allow the carriers and employees
to make agreements for reduction of
working hours below eight to avoid
making force reductions. The starting
time Of any shift, too, is to be arranged
by mutual understanding. This knocks
out rigid hour stIpulations in the old
agreement.

UNLESS someone intervenes. Chile
~ and Peru are likely to have war
over the long disputed territory Of
Tacna-Arica. Technically state Of
war has existed between them since
the Peruvian assembly decreed the re-
incorporation Of Tacna-Arica and Tar
apaca in Peruvian territory. Now,
though there are no diplomatic rela-
tions between the two countries, Chile
has invited Peru to take part In a
pleblscite In the territory, and has In
timated that II Peru declines, Chile's
only alternative Is to annex Tacna-
africa. No one expects Peru tOlaccept
the invitation, and the governments
organ, La Prensa Of Lima, character
lies the Chilean note as "a gross in
suit following the deportation Of
Peruvians from the captured prov
inces." This journal suggests arbi-
tration by the United States as the
best way out Of the tangle.

The TMilioht Gate.

The Yomei gate at Nikko is magnih-
cent. The ceiling Of its entrance has
a dragon gazing in eight directions,
and the ceiling Of the interior has a
dragon gazing in four directions. The
70 pillars of the gate are of keyaki
wood elabOrately carved and inlaid
with all kinds Of precious woods. The
beams are 20-cornered and each square
is painted in minute designs. There
are on this gate innumerable carvings
Of dragons and lions, all painted and
lacquered profusely. One becomes SO
fascinated in studying the details that
he tarries at the gate until the day
wanes. Thus it has come to be called
the Twilight gate.-Florence Peltier In
Asia Magazine.

Wood Carving Came From Egypt.

Wood carving was common In very
early Egyptian sculpture. Some of the
most realistic statues Of the ancient
empire were carved in wood, such as
the so-called "Sheikh-el-Beled" and his
wife, and number of others. Wood
was a convenient ground for polychro-
matte decoration; that is, treating the
carved figure with q thin coating OF
plaster upon which the artist placed
his colors. This art was very popular
with Egyptian artists. In Greece wood
carving probably was the earliest
form of archaic sculpture. The later
Greeks and Romans used 1t compara-
lively little, but among the most re-
markable works Of early Christian
sculpture are the carved wooden doors
of Santa Sabina, Rome.

Dear Nary
Received your letter today and an,
going to answer il right away.
am alone this afternoon. Jack
thought that little exercise would
do him good. SO he went down to helm
Bob Potter move his household goods
into the Sarah Ferguson cottage.
Bob says he loves to move, and 1 sun
pose he wanted Jack to enjoy the fun,
Guess these nice, warm days took
the kinks out of Cupid. Any way. he
has been hustling the past week. i
just received three wedding announce
ments of Gunniso folks. Miss Nellie
Smith is now Mrs. DIR. Thad Parker
and they will live in Detroit, Michigan
Fred Jarvis is married, too. The
lucky lady is Miss Winnifred Irene
Ottaway of the East.
The third wedding occurred right
here in town. The bride was Miss
Edith Northway and her husband is
Frank Brown. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Ward.
Speaking of ministers, reminds me
that the minister of the Baptist
church, Rev. J. ii. Miller, has resigned
on account of his wife's health.
The Woodman Camp, No. 80. of
Gunnison, had social meeting the other
evening and A. ID. Smith. in behalf of
the managers, presented the Lodge
with beautiful portrait of Henry +.
Lake, who has been the clerk of the
Camp ever since it started in 1890.
Mrs. Nell Deering was over today.
She is feeling pretty good over her
husbands appointment as Register of
the Gunnison Land OFFICE.
Wish we owned a ranch. ] am sure
/ could make it pay. Lots of women
do. Mrs. Ella Balm of Parlin purch-
ased the 160 acres formerly owned by
Elmer Brooke, on the Tomichi, and
is going to try ranching.
Wish you could drop in for the day.
Rather lonesome here alone. would
call on the lady next door, only she
is little huffy at me. Her small boy
is forever asking questions, and the
other day he wanted to know why his
father had no hair on his head, and
she said it was because papa has so
much brains and thinks SO hard -
That little scamp then wanted to
know why she had so much hair on
her head, and her husband laughed so
much she got angry. She was telling
me about il and, of course, / laughed,
too, and now she is mad at me.
/ hear that Mrs. Kate Arch is go-
ing to move her family to Denver to
live.
The town thought a big fire was in
progress the other day when the new
steam blower at the round house start
ed to exercise its voice. The Rio
Grande have also installed a new
rotary engine.
We had the pleasure of meeting an
old friend here the other day. f. c..
Cole, who used to live in Gunnison
twenty years ago, paid US call. He
