READ THE TREATY FIRST

There are so-called American men
ande newspapers which insist that
IN giving free passage through the
Panama Canal to American coast
trading Ships we are breaking a treaty
yith England. But that is not true.
The language Of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty does not bear any such inter
probation, fairly construed. Nor did
the negotiators put any such inter
Bretation upon it. That was a Brit
ssh afterthought.
Under the treaty American ships
using the canal to carry foreign bound
teargoes are bound TO pay the same
tolls as ships of other nations, but
American ships carrying cargoes be-
tween American ports are not so
bound
The gentlemen who are SO vol
aable about our obligations to England
~nder that treaty would do we'll to
read the treaty itself and learn just
what it does say.-Wisconsin News

mayors in office Soapboxers are prac-

Sorting the sinking socialist ship
and it never was much a ship at that.
1t would take big volume TO tell
what's wrong with socialism, in short
there is so little about the old hulk
that has any value that it is hardly
worth salvaging. Most "third-party''
and other movements have something
in them which will contribute to the
progress Of the world; the world
seizes upon what is good and rejects
the rest. But with socialism it is diff
ferent; socialism was wrong from
the beginning, and it never could have
got right; it was headed the wrong

THE MOST FAMOUS SINGER

Who is the most famous of singers

the great Russian bass, Chaliapine,
who is now in England for a brief
concert tour and win soon come to
America In New York he is no strang-

sion in the brief time when he was
star at the Metropolitan opera house.
Since his return to Russia he has@be-
come almost an historical character
and his fame behind the dixie Of rev.
olution, has been accommodating por
tentously and is now ready to sweep
the world in prodigious new wave.
Everyone has heard how he became
the ideal of the Russian masses and
their consolation in bad times; how
after nearly starving death he made
sure of having enough to eat by in
sisting that the soviets pay part Of his
fabulous salary in specified articles of
food. His romantic early career has
also been made known-how great
noble whose country place was on
the volga heard magnificent voice
among the boatmen singing the plain
tive folk songs of Little Russia and
sent his servants to find the singer,
whose career was aided by this arts
tocratic patron of the Spring,

WOMEN ARE QUITE ALL RIGHT

Jane Adams, the social worker
says she does not despair of the flu
ture of women because they smoke
and wear short skirts. Women, she
says, follow customs and fashions as
they always have done and always
will do.
This is exceedingly gratifying infor-
nation. From the recent epidemic
of outbursts on the part Of reform
ers we had almost come TO the conclu-
sion that women were doomed to per-
dition. Their skirts were getting short
er from month to month They
danced without corsets. They used
lip-sticks and eyebrow pencils, face
powder and even rouge. They no long
er cared for Beethoven but were crazy
over Jazz.
We found ourt>lves liking them
more and more. Even though short
skirt cost more than long one, we
hll-husbands fathers, brothers
footed the bills cheerfully because
we liked the effect.
The denunciations of the reform
ers distributed u.s. If women were
rapidly going to the devil we could
not figure out what to do without
them.
Miss Adams has treasured US.
Everything is all right and the re-
formers are merely "off their nut"
Customs and fashionsi Therein lies
the explanation. Women establish
them and women follow them. Ia
short, women do Just about as they
please. And what they do is right
until they decide that it is wrong.
Miss Adams, we thank you.-Wis-

given to DR.. Finley's feats Of plain and

tor amaze by his forced marches

Few will dispute that waking as a
means of health is all that the mixers
claim for it. No doubt, as the mixers
assert, Americans are becoming a ma
ton of sitters and losing the thews
and sinews of which their ancestors
could boast, But it must be remem-
bered that this is a democratic nation
in which the automobile has become
1.-The popular vehicle. When everybody
rides, walking becomes peculiar and
therefore undemocratic. The automo-
bile is a determined leveling agency.
Not content with offering an easy
accommodation to persons who in
cline to. sit, the automobile sneaks
up on the obstinate pedestrian and
reduces him to a sitting or recum-
bent posture.
Whatever the merits of walking as
an exercise, the mixers will get no
where so long as riding is safer and
moro democratic. Legs will not come
in again without a decided change in
public opinion. 1t is less a question
of making walking safe for democracy
Though something might be done in
that direction) than Of making de-
mocracy safe for walking Chicago
