Had to Come tOft

The recent treaty negotiated
with Germany amply demonstra-
ties the correctness of the policy
pursued by President Wilson at
the peace conference at Versail-
les. While the new treaty is a
mystified document, it is illumi-
mated occasionally by reference
to the Versailles treaty, which
President Wilson aided most
materially in making and which
two Repu blican Senates refused
to ratify.
President Harding was one
of the members of the Senate
who opposed the ratification of
the Versailles treaty, yet he calls
it to his rlief all the way through
the new document just signed
by a represenatve Of this country,
named by President Harding
and one designated by the Ger
man government. The new
document is a blind affair, the
wording of which indicates that
the trainers were either too lazy
to do the work in hand or that
the conclusions reached were
too humilating to be reduced to
plain English, for wherever it
was necessary to endorse one of
President Wilson'S ideas it was
done by a simple reference in
the treaty by number to the
paragraph adopted. 1t was the
expedient of an indolent man
trying to dodge a most humili
ating situation, forced upon him
by being compelled to acknow-
ledge the superiority of some
thing he had just repudiated
but was finally forced to endorse
because nothing Just as good"
could he found to fit the case.
Not only were the Republican
makers of the treaty compelled
to endorse the good things
Woodrow Wilson had helped
place in the treaty of Versailles.
but they went further and
truckled of the wishes of Ger
many for not one word can be

Germany expresses any regret

and children, Of the soldier boys
she forced US to send there to
die that the unjustifiable and
bloody war she inaugurated
might be crushed, of the billions
of expense she forced upon Us
that humanity might live and
civilization be reserved.
No, we simply signed up as

A Mothers S Plea.

The following letter has been handed
Us for publication by Constable Devan-
ney, to whom it was referred by Sher-
iff Montgomery his superior officer. It
bears the impress of truth and desire
to correct a great evil, but lacks that
essential quality of sincerity bY taking
the officer into confidence enough to as
sist him in correcting the evils COM
planned of. The officer, we are free to
say, must have the cooperation of a
complaining witness who has the cour-
age to come out openly rnd assist him
in bringing violaters to justice. This is
undoubtedly Officer Devanneys idea in
publishing an unsigned letter. The law
demands culprit for every crime, but
justice is thwarted by every complain
ant who is too timid to come forward and
personally share the responsibility of
causing an arrest and conviction. Ed.

The STATE MINER wants to
remind the county fair commits
sioner that if he had paid a little
more heed to the latent resources
around Wickenburg and Western
Maricopa county that are max
ing fame and history, he might
have made hit with somebody
else besides the Capitol crowd
who can't see past their Office
desks. BY the same token, if
the fair commissioner would sug-
gest that annual county fairs
might be held in different parts
of the county, it would not only
be a more equal distribution of
favors, but an objective lesson
to Phoenicians as to the great
size and variety of diversified
products that the county is cap
able of.

Judge William d. Boies. representa-

about man whoeate horse meat as an
experiment and draws a moral that
applies to his service at Washington.
This man did not know whether he
would like horse meat or not, but de-
cided to try It. Some Of his friends
were present during the experiment and
watched with interest.
The man cut himself off a very large
BIT Of the meat and turned 1t over with
his tongue nppraisingiy during the
course Of mastication. The expression
Of his countenance indicated that he
was being favorably impresse Finally
he proceeded to swallow his piece OF oid
Dobbin.
Just at this moment a friend across
the table called out loudly:
whoa !"
Such Is the force of habit that the
horse meat stopped short In the man
throat and came near choking MIN 10
death. .
Judge Boies had spent thirty eight
years In the court room, as attorney
and Judge. before he ran for Congress.
It often happens. he says that some
practice Of court procedure calls

impasse.
