Promise and Performance

During his campaign for election, President Harding
sharply criticized the Wilson foreign policy and in his Des
Moines and other speeches pledged himself to the mmed
ate withdrawal of American troops from Germany elected
At his first cabinet meeting yesterday, the admin
istrations foreign policy announced in ways diff
ferent from the Wilson policy There will be no recall OF
American forces from the Rhine at present. and the i'm
mediate ratification of the treaty with Columbia will be
asked of the senate which Wilson has been requesting for
the past eight years
All of which shows the difference between political
promise to win votes and actual performance and how
is crcse and how difficult to carry out Sobered by
national responsibilities President Hardngs in for
eign affairs will not differ much from President Wilson's
but having congress of his party he will not encounter
the opposition of his predecessor.
Had the League of Nations been the creation of repub
can president there would have been opposition worthy
of the and that have republican president
let hope that little time will be lost in repairing the mis-
takes of the past and restoring peace to the world
However, President Harding will have great difficulty in
securing approval of the Columbian treaty. which remburses
Columbia for the theft of the Panama canal belt by Roose
vet It's speedy ratification is necessary to restore South
American confidence in the dsnerested aims of the United
States and is desired that any stern under
taken against Mexico will not entirely ALLEVIATE the southern
republics

The objector--a somewhat youth
ful coyote-slunk away with a
foolish simper. He saw that Ben
ny Badger knew what he was talk
ing about.
"Since the Prairie Dogs Village
will be outside the new fence, the
rancher won't pay any more at
tention to It," Benny Badger said
stoutly. "From this time on, the
Prairie Days are quite safe-so
far as the rancher is concerned. !.
And that's how I have saved the
day"
Benny Badgers secret was out
at last. And as fast as people
learned it they stopped to tell him
that they had known all the time
that he had fine plan of some
sort. and that if there was any
thing they could do to help him
they would be greatly obliged if he
would count on them"
OF course the work was all done.
But perhaps Benny's neighbors
hadn't stopped to think of that.

Pleasant Praise

Not one of the prairie dogs knew
what Benny Badger meant When
he cried that he had saved the
day"
OF course, they had heard that
the rancher did not Like their VIZ
lage, and that he wanted to get
rid Of it-and them. But they
couldn't imagine how Benny BAD
ger might be able to help them.
Indeed, they rather liked the
rancher better than Benny, any
how. And as for thanking Ben
ny, the only time they would
ever feel like thanking him would
be when he bade the mgood-by
and left the neighborhood, to re-
turn no more.
But Benny Badger was quite
unaware of all that. He COM
planned that the prairie dogs were
not treating him well.
"They ought to send commit
tee to my house to thank me for
what I've done for them, he
grumbled. mo one around here
seems to understand me. But
the rancher certainly will. You Ii
see before long that he'll be after
me. to tell me what he thinks of
me-"
For several days afterward Ben
ny lost a good deal of sleep by
staying outside his house while
watching for the rancher to ap-
pear. And little by little, from
things he said now and then, his
neighbors learned his secret.
They discovered that Benny
Badger had been digging holes for
the posts of the new fence that
the rancher was going to build!

ready made, he won't be so fool
ish as to dig Others" Benny ex-
planned.
