COLE AND PEACE.

GOLF AND PEACE.
II President really sign
ed peace treaty after game
of golf that invalidates
parchment. Senate can
prove that nobody is le-
gany sane after game Of
golf.
Fiddling before Rome
burned. Dancing before
night Of Waterloo. And now
golf before peace treaty.
Motto of Washington law
makers seems to be pleas
ure before nonsense. After
three years of precipitate
elaboration Senate rushes
in where fools have too
much sense to tread. They
gallop into treaty with hot
ashes of German Empire.
When making peace with
ashes OF empires you should
use shovel instead OF PEN
Treaty will soon be official
document, like landlords
dispossess plaster. Nothing
remains to make II official
except Presidents veto.
Headlong action of i'm
petuous inmates of offices
indicates world is being
ruled by snap judgment.
Fighting has only been
cured three years when we
rush into entangling alli-
ance with law and order.
Senatorial okey on treaty
doesn't mean the worst part
of war is over. Patriotic
ladies will stubbornly con
tinue to knit soX in subway.
Balloting on treaty was
very spirited in Senate, only
fifty-seven Senator'S being
unable to be absent. We
pay those boys down in
Washington for fishing for
trout. with fifty-seven
votes cast, the treaty should
have been sent TO Heinz in
stead of Harding.
Small band OF true blue
law Democrats held out for
more war and war contracts,
while thirty-eight ambitious

The March
of EUentS
C. BEDFORD, one of the
heads of Standard Oil, is re-
10 ported to have said to q

London audience last week:
eff civilization is again threat
ened Europe can count on the last
dollar of American money and the
last drop of American blood"
Isn't it about time to drop this
cant and humbug about spending the
last dollar and shedding the last
drop of blood'
None of the Standard Oil heads
spent the last dollar he had or any
other dollar that did not bring back
two in the late war. That corpora
ton lost some ships which were
doubtless fully insured, and its
profits during the war were larger
than ever before.
1t was not civilization that was
at stake, so far as the oil companies
were CONCERNED. It was emperors,
thrones, monarchies, ministries, an
nexations, colonies and trade mar
kets.
After-dinner patriots would do
well to realize that the war is over
and that all Americans who have
any thinking apparatus at all have
returned to common sense and drop
ped the wartime bunk on the scrap
hea poi forgetfulness.
The defeat of Giolitti was
brought about by coalition of dis
cordant and bitterly hostile factions
which cannot possibly provide a
permanent Cabinet to succeed the
one they have overthrown.
Among the opposition majority
were both the Fascist and the Soc
ialists-which is much like a com
bination of the American Legion
and the Federation of Labor-and
which cannot possibly hold together
long enough to take another vote.
Gioitti is Italy's "Grand Old
Man" He resumed office after the
war, when no one else could cope
with Italy's domestic difficulties,
and he has wonderfully succeeded in
bringing order out of chaos.
1t is only a question of time
when this really great statesman
will again be called upon to govern
Italy in his wise and moderate
fashion.
The conference of Prime Minis
tiers now going on in London has
not received the attention it's his
torical Importance demands. 1t is
really a very momentous event-tbe
outward and visible evidence of a
complete change in the structure of
the British Empire.
What the conference may do is
of Importance, to be sure, but the
really important thing is the fact
that such a body has come into ex-
istence. For three hundred years
the rule of the British Empire has
been in the hands of England, and
of England alone. But from this
day the sole rule passes from her
hands to be divided between herself
and the other components of the
empire-Canada, Australia, South
Africa, New Zealand.
The Dominions have been practi-
cally nations. Now they become for
mally nations, bound together in a
federation in whose policies they
have equal voices-as complete q
revolution in the imperial system as
any thai could have been imagined,
short of a violent and bloody shat
tering of that system by armed re
volt.
The disintegration of England's
once supreme imperial power has not
only set in but is proceeding with
