WHOLLY sIlPERFIuOuS.

VNHERE is being organized in New York city what is
Il called the National Budget Committee, whose pur-
pose will be to gain popular support for the work that
Charles G. Dawes. head Of the National Budget lis trying
to DO"
In polite language this would seem to be work OF SUI
pererogaton Furthermore Charles G. Dawes is not
merely trying he is accomplishing great work in econ
omy with the slaunch support which he is receiving
from President Harding.
That popular support is his without the interference
Of any organization, goes without saying
He is doing what the people want and they for him.
There organization in this country which is gain
ing support for the policies Of Warren Harding.
! It is sxty-seyen years old
It is the Republican party, and Il in tprn supported
by the vast majority OF the people.
! The two together quite big enough and broad
enough to include Mr. Dawes who will be quite content
with their approval
He is not looking for personal glorncation.

II it be war-inciting to discuss
with others measures to avert war,
1t is manifestly risky to have any
sort Of connection or association
with foreigners. Any conversation
or acquaintance is hazardous-may
afford a chance to hatch a scheme
to fight The only safety. according
to this reasoning, Ia to seal up our
country-to cut all cables dismantle
all radio stations and forbid all
travelling. You can't fool Senator
Borah into believing in the good
faith of any nation. The Trojans were
told to fear the Greeks when they
brought gifts. The Idaho Senator. go
Ing further, would fear foreigners
when they ask a parley
Into the metaphysical mazes OF
the question OF how great is the re-
semblance Of Article II OF the four
power treaty to Article X Of the
covenant it seems profitless to fol-
low the Senator. The public does
not much care whether a Senator
votes to ratify because the formulas
are alike or different. Either route is
acceptable il it leads to the proper
conclusion.
But the other contention Of Sen
ator Borah, that an agreement
which in its text is one to promote
peace is in fact one to promote war
Is one that cannot be too soor
smashed. This negatives any form
OF understanding to preserve peace
for obviously at any parley, II the
parleyers are so disposed, a con-
spiracy can be matured to bring OF
war. Thus an AK lands at the roots
Of that international confidence
which must be developed if wal
dangers are to be lessened. In his
next speech Senator Borah should
furnish a more plausible excuse foi
| his opposition to the treaty.

Ends Stubborn Coughs
In a Hurry
For real effectiveness, this cid
homemade remedy has no equal.
Easily and cheaply prepared.


Youth never know how quickly a
bad cough can be conquered, until you
try this famous old homemade rem
edy. Anyone who has coughed all
day and all night, will say that the
immediate relief given is almost like
magic. 1t is very easily prepared,
and there is nothing better for coughs.
Into a pint bottle, put 2is ounces
Of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to make full pint. Or
you can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead OF sugar syrup.
Either way, the full pint saves about
twO-thirds of the money usually
spent for cough preparations, and
gives you a more positive, effective
remedy II keeps perfectly, and
tastes pleasant-children like It.
You can feel this take hold instantly,
soothing and healing the membranes
in all the air passages. 1t promptly
loosens a dry, tight cough, and soon
you will notice the phlegm thin out
and disappear. A days use will usually
break up an ordinary throat or chest
cold, and it is also splendid for bron-
chitis, Group, hoarseness, and bron-
chial asthma.
Pinex is a most valuable concen-
trated compound OF genuine Norway
pine extract, the most reliable rem
cdy for throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "2H ounces of Pinex"
with directions and don't accept any
thing else Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction OF money refunded.

The Platform Pledge
(From the New York Tribune)

AT last years election what the
people Of this country overwhelm-
ingiy voted for was the following
contained in the Republican national
platform:
We pledge the coming Re-
publican Administration to such
agreements with the other ma
tions OF the world as shall meet
the full duty of America to
civilization and humanity, in ac-
cordance with American ideals
and without surrendering the
right OF the American people to
exercise its judgment and its
power in favor OF justice and
peace"
The foregoing sketches the policy
that President Harding is pledged
to advance. The Pacific treaty Is in
fun accord with 1t while the doctrine
Senator Borah breaches is not.
The Senator seeks to present the
treaty as a grinning war-making
monster. He fails. All he succeeds
In doing is to make an argument
for a national aloofness fatty con-
trary to the platform-an aloofness
so complete that II implies with
drawal from all international inter
course, denunciation OF all our
treaties and summoning home OF
all our ministers and consuls.
The Hughes agreement provides
first. that its signatories, with re-
spect to the Pacific Islands. shall
respect one another's possessions
and, second, for a frank consulta-
tion should danger arise. This seems
a common sense arrangement cal.
culated to preserve peace. Not so
says Senator Borah; It is an alliance
to make war. How he arrives al this
dreadful conclusion he does moi
make clear but obviously he is much
frightened.

distinctly an importation. 1t as
sumes that our government is some
thing apart from the people and
decrees rather than duly enacted
statutes. If half-baked thinkers
understood their own institutions
great would be the gainl
That the agitators are more in
terested in stigmatizing America
than in getting men out Of prison
is sadly evident. When John
Spargo. as he tells in one of his
books, was solicited to become a
member Of a release committee he
answered that perhaps the pres
ence of men Of unquestioned loyal
ty on the committee would help.
The reply was that such were not
wanted-that their names would
lessen the propaganda value of
the agitation. On the same prin-
ciple radicals have preferred TO
have Mooney kept in the peniten-
tiary largely because those who pre-
tended to espouse his cause were
not willing to have him pardoned,
on the ground that in his case JUS
tice miscarried and that he was in
fact innocent.
OF course, in strict logic no at
tention should be paid to the at
tempt to use Debs and his kind as
pawns in a political campaign. But,
as has been remarked. there is much
human nature in human nature.
When a jail delivery is sought not
on grounds of grace or social ex-
lpediency, but on the ground that
the law was rightfully broken, up
holders of the law naturally resist

"ERSTWHllE SUSAN" TALE
 OF A MODERN CINDERELLA.

"Erstwhile Susan," in which Con- stance Binney makes her initial ap- pearance as Relart star, was given it's first presentation here at the Liberty Theatre last night and will be shown again tonight.
 The picture is notable for dram attic suspense and strong heart in- terest. Interwoven through the main theme are touches of quaint comedy. In the role of Barnabetta, the slavey heroine of the story, Con- stance Binney has created a strong screen characterization.
 "Erswhile Susan is a story of a modern Cinderella. The heroine is Barnabetta Dreary, the only daugh- ter of Barnaby, a stern, brutal farmer of the Pennsylvania-Du Dutch colony of Reinhartz. Left mother less at a very early age, Barna- etta has known neither love nor laughter; her time is too occupied with serving her father and her two loudish brothers. Later however Barnaby marries again, and it is the step-mother who helps the girl blossom into glorious, beautiful young womanhood.
