we haven't read the New York
World. With the permission OF the
readers of the column, we shall with
hold judgment upon the new treaty
until we do. Specifically. the docu-
ment appears to be ali right; but It
may be an insidious thing. We shall
take no position until we learn
whether the World sustains it.
The trouble is, as we got it from the
lips of many Serious minded persons
during the campaign and afterward,
that Mr.. Harding is a spineless, weak
minded creature of the interests who
has neither initiative nor courage. Be
sides that, he is a standpat Republic
an. 1t is Uncomfortable that good may
result from his administration.
'Mr. Malone" says the esteemed
telegraph in noting his marriage TO
Miss Doris Stevens, of the White
House pickets, "took the stump for
Morris Hillquit. Socialist candidate for
mayor of New York in 1917. and in
1920 was the gubernatorial candidate
Of the Farmer-Labor Party of New
York
Public interest in Mr. Malone is, we
apprehend, casual. But if that doesn't
classify him for readers of the column,
1t is useless for us to attempt to fix
his place in the sun.
The urge to return to this country
which Emma Goldman feels is natural
enough, but Emma should be advised
of one thing: The picking in this
country isn't as soft as it was.

Dreams.
Sir-The other day F. D. s. wrote

public. No one has ever noticed my
embarrassing condition.
L DO and have travelled much, and
often in my dreams 1 prepare for

train I intended to take. My father
died three years ago, but altho dream
Of him occasionally, he is always alive.
I hope these are some of the things
on which F. D. S. wished to be sub
stantiated.

fine thing, too. I am not in the least
superstitious about them. but 1 think
they are interesting. Do you?
A. N. S.
Sir-Speaking of dreams--and 1 be-
lieve you were-last night I went out
and found my wife pouring hot gravy
over the hood of the car. She said it
was to keep the water in the radiator
from freezing. I asked her if she had

dreamed his father was dying. The
| former was hundreds of miles from
home, and. apparently, the only basis
for such dream was the fact that the
latter had been physically frail for a
number of years. On the morning of
December Is the oolumnist received a

survive the day. Since then other
members of the family have passed on
without a recurrence of the Fremont
tory dream. But when we see them,
as We frequently do, they are always
alive.
'T don't want to become bald like
most Canadian statesmen" the new
woman member of the Canadian par
lament is quoted as saying.
We knew all along, once they were
placed in positions of prominence and
power, the women would startle the
world.
Having had our little fling at the
women, we are moved to a consid-
