,&<H AREFUL. Brother, thy horns
" Keep thy head straight. Re

ard ftis mate, there, have thine" The
LITTLE tnwny- hided OK Of Palestine on
thu aarther side leaned hard against
the nlxble wall. ....
Els strange star that shines to
niRtr his yoke-fellow answered
signing restlessly as he turned back
his esze from the open door. Even
with care their horns clicked In the
aExow space. If men must take
my bed, why did they not turn us out
inf0 the free air? The grass would
have dew on it tonight-and I could
w4tch the star"
H0r sn0rted the little gray ass
which had carried hither the woman
who lay stretched on the straw be-
tFaen them. ''What grass wouldst
thou pluck from the cobblestones Of

"hen, like him, thou wouldst come
snpping in at our stable door again.
Hey. Come off thy kneesi We must
sleep standing" his mate grunted
waxningly.
Flush, Brother. There Is something
w0ndrous in my old stall! Something
very small and white! It gleameth
~ with h0arfrost in the stars light.
It hath the smell Of lilies. It moveth.
The star can stroke it with its long,
pale tongues" He leaned longingly
against the barrier which shut him
away, until it creaked.
The little ass slipped his soft ears
between his own bars and shifted in
quiringly. "Why, it's a child !" he
whlnnied with delight. "Children are
lovely things. His small fingers will
play with my name and he will sing
little songs to me as bear him along.
Look up, little Master. We will see
great days together"
"There. that serveth thee right"
reproved the far OK as the woman
made a quick motion toward the In.
quisftive nose. '"Thy black muzzle
belongeth in thine own manger, Broth

'sShe did but brush 1t aside" the
little gray beast breathed contentedly.
"Sshe Is pleased that we know her son.

Editorial Comment
Third Treaty Talk.

The theory that a new treaty be-
tween the United States and the
principal Allied powers is necessary
in order to give validity to the Yer
sailles territorial settlements has
little to stand on. 1t is said. for in
stance, that our government hasn't
recognized the recession of AlSace-
Lorraine TO France, of Posen to Po-
land or North Slesvig to Denmark,
and must do so through a supple
mentary treaty.
But a treaty isn't necessary to es
tabliSh our admission of the altered
status of these portions of the for
mer German Empire. When we
maintain consular representatives in
these ceded areas and ask exequa-
turs for them from France, Poland
and Denmark we have recognized
the passage of sovereignty. Every
other nation which maintains con-
suls there does the same.
The United States has never
claimed in its correspondence with
the Allied Supreme Council con-
corning territorial settlements a re-
siduary interest in European, ter
ritory which has changed hands.
Germany ceded her territory on the
Continent to particular nations. We
have made no protest and have none
to make. But the German oversee
possessions, are coded to the five
principal Allied and associated pow
ers jointly. both by the Versailles
Treaty and by the separate America
German treaty. We have defended
our unextinguishable right to a say
in the disposition of these possess
ions.
This situation remains to be clear
ed up by negotiations with the coun-
Gil powers. The settlement isn't
likely to involve drafting a supple
mentary treaty with them. Our
reservations with regard to the man
dated territory are modest and can
occasion no serious friction. except,
perhaps, in the case of zap or Shan
| tung. And even these last named
controversies are susceptible of adj
justment by routine diplomatic
means.

The headlines of the news on Mon
day morning cried aloud of murder,
of food, of death and devastation
that is the big ones did. The smaller
told of various matters affecting
many more people than the scare"
heads And among the latter was a
noticeable absence of motor acct
dents. One almost might infer they
are becoming too common to be
treated as news. And along with it
all was the story of a man with his
back broken by a trench cave-in and
though suffering intense agony and
realizing his end was near calmly ar
ranging for his men to get their pay
slips promptly so that none might be
inconvenience. All said and done it
must be admitted the percentage of
folks really worth while is big enough
to make the world pretty good place
to live in. One may find this out if
he reads his paper clear through and
doesn't depend on the big headlines
for his impressions.

WHAT TO DO?

II goes against the grain of many
of us to read of men put up at auc-
ton in the city of Boston where was
nourished the spirit that destroyed
the auction block for the black man.
Within a radius Of hundred miles of
Boston, yes within fifty, there un-
because there are not men to gather
them, or at least men whose hire
would make it profitable to employ
them for that purpose. There is
plenty of work. though not at the
wages demanded, and not on Boston
Common. Because one will not work
for less than the regular wage, or will
not live except in the city, is he a
slave, and If so to whom?
Did these men possess Initiative
and independence enough to go to the
work they might not be available for
auctions in the vicinity of Boston
Common This does not imply that
the fault is wholly theirs. In the in
terest of all. facilities should be es-
tablished for bringing the work and
the man together and if the man
won't accept it then society has good
reason for shutting him up where he
will be glad to work before he is per-
mitted to go free again.
Man is never at his best when he Is
not earning his livelihood and when
he refuses TO do so and seeks living
in some other way he is at his worst.
As all men cannot possess wisdom
and energy in full measure it de-
wolves on organized society in
some way to make good the de-
ficiency Just how to do this with
out pauperizing the subject has
never been clearly demonstrated 1t
has been demonstrated. however. as
recently in Germany. that teaching
people to depend on their govern
ment is fraught with no end of mis-
chief. They lose part of their
birthright, which was to earn their
living.
Considering the demand for labor
and the wages paid within a years
time one naturally concludes that a
man in good health and not subjected
to some misfortune had an oppor-
.tunity to put something by for a
rainy day. Seemingly everybody
was doing the opposite. In what way
shall we ameliorate the fate of the
butterfly when the winter approaches
or Of the bee with broken wing or
an added head. and not do an inJus-
tice to the other bees?

Because one learns four million
acres in Scotland are devoted to a
deer preserve it is best not to assume
that so much land is withdrawn from
cultivation of food that the idle rich
may have sport. Indeed many Of
those who seek recreation there are
not idle and do need the recreation.
Furthermore most of the land is not
ht for tillage or other purposes ex-
cept for grazing sheep, which now is
largely done. But even were it not
so a proposal to do away with this
privilege would not appeal to the
thrifty and Fanny Scot. Since the
days when these moors were given
over to deer and grouse many mil
lions of pounds sterling have been
spent by the visitors and money has
become more plentiful and prosperity
greater than ever before known in
that region.

The Etiquet of the Flag
(Lewiston JournaD

If any person says ito He'll with
the flag he is inviting exactly what
he is likely to get. There are a few
things that you can't call a herman.
There are some things in particular
that no person can say to an ex-
service man and get away with it.
Nobody can step on; or spit on; or
swear at the flag tina" the ex-
soldier has fought under: that
he sees lying over the still
form of his buddy. Such talk
is an invitation to go into action.
Call a man a liar! You know what
it means. And when YOU say the
words, set yourself!
But if a person stands upon the
streets and sees the flag go by and
fails to remove his hat, be not too
sensitive about it. He may have
tears in his eyes. He may be too alb
sorbed to think about removing his
hat He may not know that such is
the etiquet-for it is only etiquet.
His heart may be running over with
emotions and his hat square on his
head.
This matter Of etiquet must be a
matter of education. Gradually we
may come to the habit of saluting
the passing flags with the sign Of the
uncovered head. But we shall make
people: ordering them in military
fashion or intruding upon their
rights to salute the flag as they
please,--it may be by tears or it may
be by the uncovered head.
We all know what the flag stands
for. We all should love it and cher
ish it for what it means. We should
all pay it the Difference of respect
But ex-service men and all others
should not think. that they can
thump decency into everyone. There
will be some who will never uncover
for it's passing. For them 1t is we'll
to keep little book, in which we
can write (for future generations to
ready the names of those who would
not uncover at the flag.
And there are sometimes other
reasons. too. for these things It is
conceivable that a man of seventy
Gus altogether of the passing of that
funeral parade on Wednesday. Alb
sorbed in ones own affairs, it is easy
to fail TO note even the passing of the
parade: to be unaWare of its signifi-
canoe: to fail to see the flag. Be
not hasty.
In short, be polite in requests for
observance of the salute. But If any
man says ito Hell with the Flag
when that flag lies along the gun
carriage and when beneath the col
ors there lies the body of a soldier
who died in France, remove his hat
without hurting the hat. And we
will only ask you to be as gentle as
you can: for we shall not watch you
do it.

FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND"

A review of fundamental business
conditions over the country appears
to warrant the conclusion that
economic conditions are fundamental
ly sound and there exists no real
basis for apprehension of an up
heaval. Reimbursement is somewhat
slow depending on better movement
Of commodities and better under
standing. Courage, patience and
patriotism are essential to the
restoration, but these qualities are
being shown in greater degree than
many anticipated.
The public temper is evidently
sound: the majority of wage earners
try over, to cooperate but are com
planning at the retailers prices.
Many Of the latter, overstocked at
high prices. think they are bearing
the brunt of the readjustment. The
were going up and now appear to be
waiting for them to come down. The
money, that being fairly plentiful
throughout the country for the needs
of business.
Liquidation of credit is said to now
be in the last stages. NThe coming in
of crops in the South and West is
reducing what bankers term the
frozen" loans. An increased de-
lessening of pessimistic reports.
The decision of Judge Lands. act
bles in Chicago, is decidedly con-
tributory to the trend back to normal.
A review of building activity shows
that in August it was geo greater
than year ago, residential construc-
ton exceeding other classes as re-
suit of lack of housing facilities.
All in all. though doubtful of any
boom in business in the near future,
it seems fairly safe to conclude that
the country is on the way and will
arrive in due time. At this particu-
lar period the assurance of economi-
cal soundness is most gratifying and
must prove stimulating.

If our government, national, state
and local, is costing on an average of
$500 per family. there are at least two
matters demanding our careful and
best informed consideration. One is
that this is enough eggs to warrant

that the government we are getting,
as compared with what they are get

is costing us. Having given this the
